No one knew when the name 'Lady Calamity' started. She only knew that a long time ago, she, who always brought disaster and bad luck, had been called that by people.
But she was never a demon, let alone a demon. She was a goddess, a true goddess with divinity.
Many documents did not mention her divine name in detail. It was not known whether it was due to fear of Lady Calamity's power or simply because they did not have the courage to write that name down. There was once a rumor that a powerful mage accidentally cursed Lady Calamity after an experiment failed. Then, his magic power went out of control and he exploded and died.
Just mentioning Lady Calamity's name would produce such a strong power of misfortune. This made people cautious about their words and actions, trying to avoid anything related to Lady Calamity as much as possible.
After Tang En found out about Elijah's true identity, he immediately thought of the assassins who went to Ellington View to assassinate them.
Now that he thought about it, whether it was Poison Sickle who was accidentally killed by Elijah's Arcane Missile (Chapter 226), or the guy who was blown to ashes by the bomb he planted (Chapter 282), or the assassins who were wiped out in a group (Chapter 318), they were all extraordinarily unlucky.
Which assassin who was hired by the Cadier family or trained from a young age was not a cautious guy? How could they die because of a little mistake?
If they were really that kind of trash, they would not have survived until now.
But they died in Ellington View before they could do anything.
Edgar said before that it was not that no one was willing to adopt Elijah in the past, but that strange things always happened around Elijah, so no one was willing to adopt her.
Tang En originally thought that "strange things" referred to the magic power that went out of control. Now, it seemed that it was more because those people were unlucky.
Ignorant people always panicked and feared the unknown. To be honest, the fact that they did not kill Elijah already showed that they were very simple.
Perhaps this was also the result of Elijah unconsciously releasing her power.
If this uncontrollable power were to leak even a little bit, it would cause a very obvious impact. Everyone would be very sensitive to it, and because of that, there was very little information about Lady Calamity.
The most well-known thing was that she had assisted the Goddess of Eternal Darkness and used the forest elves as a blueprint to create the dark elves.
Lying on the chair and staring at the amethyst above his head, Tang En was a little absent-minded.
"Master, it's time to sleep."
Tang En waved his hand without looking back. "So, you can go back now. If I really sleep with you, Leon will probably come to kill me with a sword tomorrow."
"Me too!"
It wasn't that she didn't want to leave, but that she couldn't!
Eluri said with a sobbing tone, "How could I have known that the effect of the contract would be so strong at night!"
Tang En sighed and said, "Why don't we change our way of thinking? The more you resist, the stronger the contract will be. Why don't you try to accept it and not resist?"
"You —"
Noticing Eluri's angry expression, Tang En came back to his senses. "Oh, of course, I don't want you to take the initiative to become my slave. I'm just saying, it's better to let it go, understand?"
Of course, Yi Luli knew what Tang En meant. The more she resisted, the stronger the binding force of the contract would be. If she accepted her current identity and listened to the voice in her heart, the binding force of the contract would not be as strong.
She took a few deep breaths and tried to suppress the embarrassment and shame in her heart. She no longer resisted the attraction from Tang En and came to him very obediently. She stammered, "M-Master, it's time to sleep …"
Although she was very embarrassed, very shy, and wanted to die, Eluri felt a lot more relaxed — even if she was pretending to be obedient.
Tang En shrugged. "At least I got a piece of good news. This contract doesn't care whether the contract partner is sincere or not. You need to practice your acting skills."
Eluri was embarrassed and angry. She glared at Tang En. She usually studied the Vatican Bible in the church. When she was free, she would only go to the civilians and pray for blessings and treatment for the wounded. How could she have time to practice her acting skills? Not to mention, how many people would be able to see her bashful and angry expression?
Only the guy in front of her could.
For the first time in history, Eluri felt that Aurelia was right when she said that Tang En was a bad guy — he was too irresponsible!
"You go back to sleep first. I'll sleep later."
After Tang En finished speaking, he turned back and continued to be in a daze.
But after getting permission, Eluri, who no longer resisted, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She found that she could leave.
"Then I … When was she here?"
Eluri was just about to say goodbye when she was surprised to find that there was someone lying on Tang En's lap.
It was none other than Eliya.
At this moment, Elijah was sleeping soundly. Her face was still oily. She was holding a piece of meat bone in one hand and Tang En's clothes in the other. Nola was lying on her head, holding her stomach and sleeping happily like her.
"She fell asleep before the banquet was over. It seems that the awakening at that time put a lot of pressure on her."
Tang En looked at Elijah's side profile. He couldn't believe that such an innocent girl was the Lady of Calamity who was feared by everyone.
"That goddess … I've heard His Holiness talk about her before."
Eluri was in awe. She knew very well which goddess the Goddess of Eternal Darkness referred to as "sister".
Whether it was Yerbil or not, as a clergyman, it was natural to maintain the proper respect for a god, even if this god had not yet awakened.
Tang En was refreshed. "Oh? What did he say? "
"His Holiness the Pope mentioned that goddess in one of his lectures." Even Saintess Iruli used "that goddess" instead of "that goddess" when she mentioned Lady Calamity. "In some secret books of the Holy See, there seemed to be a few words of that goddess, but it can be seen that His Holiness the Pope is full of respect for that goddess."
Eluri looked at Elijah's side profile. She lowered her voice and said, "His Holiness once said that the goddess should be remembered and thanked by everyone … Although I don't know why, since His Holiness said that, it means that the goddess is not as simple as the goddess of misfortune."
Twain pinched Ilia's face and said with a smile, "Don't tell me you're worried that the will of the goddess in her body is still awake and listening to us, so you're deliberately saying nice things?"
Eluri suddenly became anxious. "Don't be rude to the goddess! Every word I've said is true! "
"If that's what you mean by rude …"
Tang En poked Elijah's cheek, causing Elijah to mumble in her sleep. Tang En smiled. "Then I'm afraid I've done too many rude things."
Eluri looked at Tang En in disbelief. "You're really a —"
Eluri swallowed the word "pervert".
Tang En suddenly came to his senses and slapped his forehead. "What nonsense are you thinking? I'm not talking about what you're thinking … Wait! As a saintess, is it okay for you to have such dirty thoughts? "
Noticing the suspicious expression on Tang En's face, Eluri suddenly panicked. She hurriedly got up and said, "I, I'm very sleepy, so, so I'll go back to sleep first! Bye, bye! "
Watching Eluri leave in a hurry, Tang En, who was holding his chin, had a meaningful look on his face.
This pure and flawless saintess seems to know a lot. She doesn't seem to be as innocent as she looks …
Feeling Elijah turn over, Tang En withdrew his attention and covered her with the blanket again.
Elijah's identity was basically confirmed. She was indeed the reincarnation of Lady Calamity. Then, there were more questions …
As a god, why did she reincarnate?
She must have revealed the reason in her discussion with the Goddess of Eternal Darkness. Unfortunately, he didn't understand, so he decided to ignore this question for now.
Since she's Lady Calamity, it's equivalent to me adopting her now. Will this affect my career and plans?
Tang En pondered for a while, and then he was surprised to find that from the time he met Elijah until now, almost everything had gone smoothly. Even the trivial matter of the Cadier family had been successfully turned around by his plan, and he had made a lot of money. That meant that not only was he not unlucky, but he was also very lucky?
Could this be the passive effect of the perfect body created by Goddess Nisclare and the others? Immune to bad luck and calamity?
Then there was another question.
In the beginning, no one dared to adopt Elijah because they were worried about bad luck. Why was Abedon, Clairat, and Elsa's family fine?
Clairat's body was weak, and her resistance to bad luck should be even weaker, but she had never encountered any bad luck.
There was also Abedon and Elsa, the father and daughter. One mysteriously ran to the Ambris Mountains every few days, leaving the mother and daughter in Ellington. The other was born with monstrous strength from a young age, and could even crush some high-level Prophets with pure physical strength …
No matter how you looked at it, it was too ridiculous! It didn't make sense at all!
If Tang En was only concerned about Elsa's monstrous strength, after confirming Elijah's identity, the identity of Elsa and Abedon's family suddenly became a little confusing.
Of course, they should be the descendants of the Foel and Bolette families, but they must have encountered something.
Something mysterious that could not be told to outsiders.
Just like this time when Abedon asked him to collect the Magic Dispelling Stones, the reason could not be explained to outsiders.
