"Wait, so you raising those children wouldn't be..." Isidor thought in surprise. "It's not as extreme as you think, but my purpose in raising these children is indeed not just out of kindness. Succubi feed on the essence of other creatures, and children undoubtedly have the most energy. As long as I live around them and absorb some of the essence they leak out when they are active, I can temporarily suppress the succubus' instincts. This will not harm the children, at most it will just make them a little better behaved." Sister Norma explained. "So that's how it is. I liberated your desires and prevented you from harming those children one day in the future, so you thank me, right?" Isidor nodded. "Yes, although the problem was solved in a way that I hate, it is better than hurting those innocent children." Norma sighed. "So, are you willing to help Esina break the spell of the Cup of Babylon now?" Isidor asked. "There are three more conditions for me to break the spell." Norma said as he helped Isidor sit up. "Any more conditions? Then go and talk to Esna. I've done enough." Isidor said with some lingering fear as he looked at Norma's nun's uniform that was wet with sweat and stuck to her body. "Just tell her. My first condition is a reward of three thousand silver coins. With this money, I can place the children in a more formal welfare home and let them live a better life," said Norma. "Eh? Only three thousand silver coins are enough? I think that's more than a dozen children." Isidor had been prepared for her to ask for a high price, but he didn't expect the nun to offer such a low price. Even without Esina's money, it would not be difficult to earn three thousand silver coins by doing some tasks with his own strength. "In today's world, human life is much cheaper than you think. I don't want to be as powerful as you. Even if I have some succubus abilities, I can't use them easily in order to conceal my identity. Three thousand silver coins is an astronomical figure for me." Norma said with a wry smile.
"I agree to this on behalf of Esna. Please move on to the next one," said Isidor. "The second condition is that Esna must come to me and swear in person that the deciphered spell will never be used for evil. Otherwise, I would rather die than help you." Norma said firmly. "Although you are a succubus, your heart is kinder than most humans I have met. I think Esina will agree to this condition. Her original intention of deciphering the Cup of Babylon was just to prevent the decline of her race." Isidor nodded. "The last condition...you have to do it with your own hands..." The nun looked down at the ground, her face flushed and she didn't continue. "What am I to do with my own hands? Tell me," asked Isidor. "When a succubus reaches true maturity, a special seal needs to be engraved on its lower abdomen. From then on, the succubus can truly master its own power. This kind of spell is usually engraved by older women in the family, but I don't have any other succubus companions around me, so you have to engrave it yourself." The succubus said as she lifted up her nun's uniform, revealing her flat belly. "Is this like a tattoo?" Isidor asked curiously. "It's somewhat similar, but the spell has the effect of storing food. You should also know that succubus must ingest the seeds of male creatures every once in a while. Now that my switch has been activated by you, I must keep taking it in. But you also know that I'm a nun by profession. How can I do such a blasphemous act? Anyway, my body has been touched by you, so I simply ask you to leave enough food at one time to fill my spell, so that I can survive with the minimum consumption." The nun explained while stroking her lower abdomen with a blushing face. "Can I ask how much it will cost approximately?" Isidor asked timidly. "Not much, just enough to fill up once, which is about the size of a large beer glass commonly used in pubs." The nun replied. "You'd better kill me! Although the goblins are large in number, they are not that big. Aren't you going to kill me?" Isidor quickly refused. "But if I don't fill it up all at once, what should I do when you leave? Do you want to see me going to taverns and theaters to beg for other men's semen as a nun? Do you want to see me disgraced, despised, and even exposed as a succubus, with a long iron rod piercing from between my legs to my throat, and then burned to death by flames?" Norma said, staring into Isidor's eyes. "Ah, this does sound exciting. But it's a shame to use the only succubus in the world like this. I promise you, but you have to pay in installments, otherwise I can't afford it." Isidor hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed. "Don't worry, I won't kill the chicken to get the eggs." The nun smiled, stretched out her hand to weigh the chicken and eggs, raised her foot and gave Isidor a light kiss on the cheek. "Then I'll go back and discuss it with Esna. I'll come back to you when I have a result." Isidor calmed himself down, pulled up his pants and said. "Okay, I'll wait for you here. Also, although this may sound like provocation, I still want to tell you: don't get too close to Esna. Succubi are very good at observing human nature, and there is a crazy trait in that woman's character. I'm worried that she will take everything around her to destruction, and by then even if you want to get away, it will be too late." The succubus whispered in Isidor's ear. "Okay, I'll take note of what you said." Isidor nodded. Although they had not been together for a long time, he had already been conquered by the succubus' kindness. He was willing to believe that the succubus' words had no ill intentions. However, now he can be said to have no choice. Chapter 78: Taste the Taste
When Isidor conveyed the three conditions to Esna, Esna did not agree immediately. "The first and third ones are easy to deal with, but the second one is a bit inconvenient." Aisina replied. "Hey, how can the third point be so easy to deal with? Don't you consider my workload?" Isidor complained. "Don't worry, your work won't be in vain. I have recently developed a new medicine that can repair your soul to a certain extent. However, the problem of side effects has not been completely solved. I believe it will be ready for use in a few months." Aisina said with a smile. "Is there finally hope of a solution?" Isidor was overjoyed and immediately regained his motivation. "How about this, let's go visit the nun and talk to her in person about the second condition," said Esna. "Is the second condition so difficult to agree to? Do you still want to use the power of the Cup of Babylon to do evil?" Isidor said puzzledly. "Her requirement is that we cannot use this power to do evil, but how do we define the standard of good and evil? As a devout nun, Norma must be very strict in her tolerance for 'evil'. To put it another way, even if the standards are relaxed, I am not a good person. I don't know how much blood of innocent people is on my hands. If I get serious about it, I won't be able to settle accounts even if I go to the gallows a hundred times." Esna said seriously. "Esina, why are you making such a fuss? Just pretend to swear an oath and then do what you need to do. It's just a formality anyway and it won't really impose any constraints." Isidor said nonchalantly. "That's not the case. Swearing in front of a devout nun is equivalent to swearing in front of God. Even if the nun cannot supervise me, my actions will be subject to many restrictions." Aisina replied. "Why, do people like you still care about the condemnation in your heart? Wait... you mean... the God that the nun believes in is real?" Isidor was about to make a joke, but suddenly understood what Esina meant. Since there are elves and succubi in this world, the existence of gods is not something unimaginable. "That's right. The reason why the Holy See has such a huge influence in the human world is because they can really create miracles through prayer. Even if it is not God, it must be some unknown powerful force. The more devout the believers, the more likely they are to borrow this power, so I have to be a little cautious." Esna nodded. "In that case, we have to think about it. Let's go again tomorrow," said Isidor. "Okay, let's do it. I still have to give Emmeline extra lessons, so you should eat more nutritious food tonight and conserve your energy," said Esna. Isidor hesitated for a moment. He wanted to tell Esna about Emmeline's confession, but then he thought that Emmeline didn't mean any harm. Besides, they were sisters after all, and if he said this, it would be suspected of alienating the flesh and blood of the two. The next morning, Esna asked Iovia to stay and take care of Fiona, who climbed up the roof every day, and Emiline, who was always autistic in the corner, while she and Isidor went to the monastery to visit the nuns. "Here is a bill of exchange for ten thousand gold coins guaranteed by the Holy See, which can be exchanged for cash in any diocese. I have already negotiated the remuneration with Isidor, and he will come to inject his seed into you once a day until you are full. As for the second condition, I hope you can change it, and I will do my best to meet your needs." Esna said, handing a stack of beautifully printed bills of exchange to Sister Norma. Isidor stared at the thick bill. He knew that Esina was rich, but he never expected her to be so rich. The price of 10,000 gold coins was enough for the baron to gather an army and start a war, but Esina took it out without any hesitation. "I only want three thousand silver coins. Any extra wealth is a meaningless burden to a nun who has vowed to practice asceticism. As for the second condition, it must not be changed. I don't want my identity as a demon to bring any disaster to time." Norma said, reaching out and pulling out three bills from the bills - exactly three hundred gold coins. "I admire your character, but money can do more than just bring pleasure. If a kind and selfless woman like you gets this huge sum of money, I'm sure you can save a lot of people, right? For example, use the money to build an orphanage to save more homeless children. You can even set up an organization dedicated to doing charity. With your abilities, you can run it smoothly as long as you use a little bit of men." Esna said in a seductive voice. After hearing what she said, the nun hesitated for a moment, but soon put the bill back resolutely. "Your proposal is very tempting. For a moment, I can't tell which one of us is the succubus. But in short, if I don't hear your oath today, I will not be able to decipher the secret of the Cup of Babylon for you." The nun said firmly. "In this case, we have no choice but to implement Plan B." Esna sighed, took out a blue pill and placed it in Isidor's hand. "What is this?" Isidor asked curiously. "Research is a very expensive thing, so in addition to my main job, I will also develop some side businesses to earn research funds. For this purpose, I have developed many drugs and sold them to wealthy nobles and businessmen. The most popular among them is this drug. Although I gave it a very subtle name, the nobles still like to call it by an extremely vulgar name in private." said Aisina. "What's the name?" Isidor asked curiously. "It killed a cow." Esna answered simply.
"Ah? I'm not interested in cows. You can eat this stuff yourself." Isidor quickly returned the medicine to Esna. "It's too late. While giving you the medicine, I have already spread the psychedelic gas that is ten times more concentrated than the one in the box last time. Isidor, your mission is to make her completely corrupt. As long as her faith is shaken, the oath will be meaningless." After saying this, Esna turned and left the room. "Fuck, you elf have no moral integrity at all. How can you use such a trick?" Isidor was about to run away, but the succubus behind him hugged him with burning eyes. In terms of fighting ability, Isidor could beat her with both hands and feet, but the temptation of the succubus made him go limp in an instant, and he had no thought of resisting at all. Chapter 79: The Truth of the Seven Kings Dividing the Well "Are you satisfied now?" Isidor asked, panting and pulling up his pants. "What is going on? I seem to have had a very long dream. In the dream, I seemed to have forgotten the name of God." Norma slowly woke up from her trance and said blankly, covering her forehead. "Yes, you had a very long dream. It just so happens that I have changed my mind. I, the world's leading swordsmanship genius, former member of the Knights of the Noldor, Silver-Eyed Esna, swear here that I will never use the spell on the Cup of Babylon to do evil. If I break my oath, let me die by my own sword." Esna walked in at the right time and said solemnly to Sister Norma who had just regained her consciousness. "Hey, Esna, what's going on? She doesn't seem to remember what just happened." Isidor walked up and asked in a low voice. Welcome to 694936135 ————Outgroup①Group674500223———— ————Outgroup②Group 200902465———— The monthly fee group updates more than 40 books per month, and there are free books to read every day. "Too high a concentration of psychedelic gas will confuse people's memories and make them temporarily forget what happened. This is a version specifically designed for succubi, so it won't work on you and me." Esna replied in a low voice. "I didn't expect you were actually willing to swear. In that case, I promise to help you break the spell on the golden cup." Norma stood up happily, holding the corner of the table, after hearing Esna's oath. "Thank you very much. To facilitate your translation work, I have copied all the spells on the Babylonian Cup here. Please take a look." Esna said, taking out a stack of manuscripts from her body and placing them on the table. "Because it has been so long, please give me some time to recall. It may take a few days or a week at most. I will definitely be able to decipher the text." The nun took the manuscript and said. "Then I will stay here to protect you during this time. You can always tell me if you need anything." Aisina said. "Is that not necessary? I don't have any enemies in the city. Even if there are thieves, they won't target a poor nun like me." Norma said puzzled. "If you knew what you were deciphering, it wouldn't be so easy. I didn't bring the original body of the Cup of Babylon with me because of your safety," said Esina earnestly. "Okay, I accept your protection." Seeing Esna say this, Norma had no choice but to agree. "Isidor, you can move freely now. But remember to hand in your homework every night." Aisina said with a smile. "Okay, I'll endure it for the sake of repairing my soul." Isidor said helplessly, turned around and left the monastery. Ravenstern is located inland, far less martial than Lodelia, and there are not many monsters nearby to fight. Isidor walked around the city and returned to the Baron's courtyard with nothing to do. As a result, as soon as he entered the inner court, he saw Iowa desperately pulling Fidena under a tree, but her strength was no match for Fidena's, and she couldn't pull her at all even if she gritted her teeth. "Isidor! Come and help. The vampire stole Esina's medicinal wine and now he wants to take the Sun Tree. We can't stop him!" When the dark elf saw Isidor, he quickly asked for help as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw. "Ah?" Isidor looked closely and saw Fidena hugging the big tree in the yard affectionately, and arching her waist like a teddy bear. "Damn, what's wrong with her? Does she think she's a man? Even if she is, she can't fuck a tree. This is beyond the animal kingdom." Isidor sighed and quickly helped pull Fidena down.
Iovia quickly took off her coat to cover Fidena's body, then picked up her sword and stabbed it into Fidena's heart, nailing her to the ground. "He will die, right? Is this too much?" Isidor said worriedly. "This is her own request. She said that if she loses control, she wants me to pierce her heart with a sword so that she can have a good sleep. I tried it once with my own dagger, and it didn't kill her. This guy has a super recovery ability." Iovia explained. "Thank you for your hard work, taking care of such an idiot." Isidor sighed from the bottom of his heart. "If I could kill her, I would have done it long ago. You stay here for a while, I'll go bring dinner to Emmeline." Iowa said, wiping the sweat from her forehead. "It feels like you are worrying like a kindergarten teacher." Isidor couldn't help laughing. While there was chaos at home, Sister Norma was working diligently on the decryption work. Every day when Isidor handed in his homework, he could see Norma racking her brains to think about the meaning of every word. She even got up from time to time to write down the words and sentences she thought of while handing in her homework. Isidor was naturally very impressed by such a dedicated behavior, and then he caught her and had sex with her. With the nuns working overtime, the entire text of the Cup of Babylon was deciphered in just five days. That night, Esina returned to the courtyard with the sorted translation manuscript and gathered the team members to tell them about the results of the decryption. Isidor also listened with great interest along with the others. He was really curious about what was written on the Cup of Babylon that Esina had been pursuing so hard. "The spell on the cup is divided into two parts, the inner wall and the outer wall. The outer wall records the story of 'Seven Kings Dividing the Well', but it is somewhat different from the story we are familiar with." Aisina said. "Given the antiquity of the Babylonian Cup, the content recorded in it should be the original version of the story, right? Does this mean there really is a magic well that can give people eternal life?" Iowa asked curiously. "Yes, the magic well does exist. But it is not the seven kings who are fighting for the magic well, but the seven heroes who defeated the seven kings." said Esina. "Seven heroes? This is unheard of." Iowa also became confused. "The complete version of this story is this: In ancient times, there were seven kings who led their people to become demons and wreak havoc on the world. The subjects of these seven countries are the ancestors of all demons. The seven demon kings not only possess powerful strength, but are also immortal. In order to resist the rule of the demons, elves, humans and many other races formed an unprecedented coalition. After a brutal battle, seven brave men finally stood up and defeated the seven demon kings, destroying their bodies and exiling their souls into the void." "The seven heroes who defeated the demons were revered as heroes by the world and led people to continue to eliminate the remnants of the demons. However, as time passed, the heroes gradually grew old. Finally, one of the heroes could not resist the temptation and signed a contract with the Demon King without authorization. The condition was to lead the Demon King's soul back to the human world, and the reward was a magic well that would grant him eternal life." Aisina continued. "Wait, is this demon king you're talking about related to the monster with a thousand arms and eyes we encountered in the goblin's nest?" Isidor asked. "Yes, that guy is one of the seven demon kings. After his soul returns to the human world, the demon king can hide somewhere and gradually recover his strength. As long as there is a suitable body, he can be resurrected. The one we defeated was just a weakened version of the demon king who did not fully recover his strength. The power they had in their heyday is beyond our imagination." said Esina. "What happened to the brave man who signed the contract?" Fidna asked with her hand raised like a child eager to hear a story. "He secretly killed the other six heroes and relied on the power of the magic well to achieve immortality. Because of his prestige in defeating the Demon Lord, he was revered as a king by his own race, and this is the origin of the first Elf King. The magic well of immortality is not without a price. The price of allowing a soul to exist for a long time is to extract the power of other souls. For his own immortality, the first king sacrificed his subjects so that the Demon Lords could extract the souls of the lower-level elves and inject the power into the magic well. The extraction of souls will not have much effect on the person themselves, but their offspring will degenerate from generation to generation, and finally become two species from the long-lived elves. These degraded elves were expelled from the kingdom of elves and scattered all over the world. Because they like to live underground, people call them 'underground elves', or goblins for short. Of course, they have another name that is more familiar to people, that is - Goblin." Esina turned her head to look at Isidor and said the last word word by word. Chapter 80: The Mystery of Reincarnation "You mean, goblins are the degraded form of elves? How is that possible? The gap between elves and goblins is as huge as that between humans and livestock. Except for the special case of Isidor, the intelligence of goblins is equivalent to that of more cunning wild beasts!" Iovia said in surprise. "No, a goblin's intelligence is determined by its mother. If it is the offspring of a human or an elf, it will have a considerable degree of intelligence. The previous owner of the Cup of Babylon was the offspring of an elf and a goblin. He also said that goblins were transformed from elves, but he did not provide any evidence. It seems more like an ancient heritage." Isidor corrected. "Isidor is right. I have heard rumors that goblins and elves have the same origin. But there are too many such groundless legends, and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false without evidence. Now that we have the confirmation of the Cup of Babylon, I think this matter is 80% credible." said Esna. "Why is it only 80%?" Iowa asked. "Eighty percent is too much. The contents of the Babylonian Cup cannot be fully trusted. Before we find circumstantial evidence, the highest credibility can only be 80%." Aisina said.
"What about the rest of the content? I can't read, eh? Read it to me quickly!" said Fidna. "What the hell is 'Eiya'? Are you calling me?" Iowa asked, pointing at herself. "Yes, it's you! Your name is too long and it's hard for me to pronounce it." Fidna said. "...Okay, the following general content is: in order to maintain the power of immortality, the magic well will absorb the souls of goblins from generation to generation. Not only during life, but even after death, they can only be reincarnated as goblins and continue to be the nourishment of the magic well. In addition, the Demon Lord has also given the goblins a mark of strong reproductive desire, allowing them to multiply in order to extract more soul power. And the seven Demon Lords will also share this power to speed up their own recovery. When the last Demon Lord returns in a complete form, that will be the day when the world returns to darkness. But the degradation of the soul will one day reach its limit. In order to prepare in advance, the Demon Lords do not hesitate to summon innocent souls from the outside world and descend upon the goblin tribe in order to deprive the souls of the power contained in the souls." Iovia picked up the manuscript, read it, and then summarized it.
