As Irene walked into the monastery with mixed feelings, she didn't notice that there were two figures watching her from the balcony on the top floor of the monastery.
"Seems like we finally have our first guest."
Jenn shifted his gaze away from the petite girl and turned to Lydia with a smile.
Lydia nodded when she heard Jenn's words.
"Yes, Master.
To be honest, quite a number of organizations and facilities have contacted me during this period of time. It seems like they have a lot of similar problems on their hands.
If it wasn't for your strict restrictions, I'm afraid the number of people we can accept would be a few times higher. "
"There's no need for that."
Jenn waved his hand and interrupted Lydia's report.
"We are currently understaffed, a little less is better. Remember, Lydia.
This is a very long process in my plan and it might take a few years for it to take shape.
So you don't have to rush. Just follow the plan step by step. Do you understand me? "
"I understand, Master."
Lydia lowered her head quickly when she heard Jenn's words. But soon, she lifted her head doubtfully and looked at the young man beside her.
"But … Why must we adopt the forsaken ones?"
No wonder Lydia asked. Even though her values had changed drastically after she turned into a succubus, it didn't mean that her emotions, memories, and knowledge would change as well.
The forsaken ones were known by everyone on the continent and no one was willing to live with them.
Besides, as females, they didn't wish to give birth to a forsaken one.
Therefore, Lydia knew quite a lot about the rumors and knowledge about the forsaken ones.
Even though she was no longer human and wouldn't hate the forsaken ones like the others, Lydia still didn't understand why Jenn had to choose them.
But what she did not expect was that after hearing her question, the corners of Zayen's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a strange smile.
"Forsaken ones … What a nice name. Honestly, if the person who gave me this name is still alive, I'll reward him handsomely … Because he helped me a lot."
"Master?
You mean … "
"They are not Forsaken Ones, Lydia."
As he spoke, Jenn stretched out his hand and pointed at Eirinn's petite, frail figure.
"In fact, they are the true people favored by God."
"What?"
Lydia was taken aback when she heard that.
Of course she knew what a Divine Citizen was.
They were the Holy Sons born from the will of the gods. They received the blessings of the gods from the moment they were born and possessed wisdom and power that ordinary people could not match.
Lydia had heard stories about the Holy Children more than once. They were handsome, beautiful, powerful and had the most devout faith in their God.
But Lydia had never heard of any Holy Son being born with a disability.
"I'm not talking about the bastard children of those radiant bastards up there."
Jenn let out a snort as though he sensed Lydia's doubt. He gazed at Lydia and pointed at his feet.
"You can't be thinking that only those idiots with wings up there can give birth, right?"
"In other words …"
At this point, Lydia finally reacted to the situation.
She widened her eyes and looked at Jenn in disbelief. Jenn nodded.
"That's right. This child carries a powerful bloodline — — she is the Witch's Child."
Jenn's words weren't baseless. Indeed, there were records of the gods blessing mortals in the Creation Epic. But back then, many people didn't realize that there were two problems with the Creation Epic.
First, the gods weren't just the sky gods of Sinapus. The demon gods of the Underdark were also present.
Second, not all mortals worshiped the gods of the Kingdom of Sky. In fact, there were many demon god worshipers on the continent back then.
And this was related to a secret history.
After the gods left, the mortals struggled to survive in the mortal world. In order to preserve the spark of civilization, the mortals had to sacrifice themselves.
In order to preserve the tinder of civilization, the gods blessed them with strong physiques and wisdom.
But as the saying goes, humans have their limits. There were always disasters that humans couldn't solve by themselves.
That was why a group of demon god worshipers offered sacrifices, hoping to receive the blessings of the demon god.
Back then, the five witches hosted the ritual to express their determination to the demon god and at the same time, to exchange for the right for their people to survive.
They blinded their eyes, cut off their tongues, ears, and limbs as offerings to the demon god.
In the end, the Demon Gods responded to their believers' prayers and transformed the primordial mana hidden within the darkness and the bottomless abyss into incantations, which were then used to create magic spells for their believers. This was the beginning of the spread of magic in the main plane.
After that, after many twists and turns, the bloodline of the five witches was scattered all over the world but didn't disappear.
As a matter of fact, these girls who were born with disabilities were the direct descendants of the five witches.
Indeed, in the Creation Epic, the gods blessed humans with strong physiques.
But they didn't know that on the dark side of the Creation Epic, someone chose to give up on the blessings of the gods in exchange for greater power.
This was also the reason why Zayen specifically designated females to be born with disabilities. Only children who inherited the direct bloodline of the five witches would be able to manifest in such a form everything that their ancestors had suffered in exchange for.
At the same time, they lost their healthy bodies that were bestowed with blessings, but at the same time, they gained incomparable power.
In those petite bodies, there was a powerful magic power.
This powerful force that was similar to a curse was what Zayen truly valued.
Because of that, Jenn specifically selected Lydia to adopt the handicapped girls. It was because of the cursed bloodline in their bodies.
Only those ignorant barbarians and brainwashed believers would think that these children were abandoned by the gods. In fact, the power in their bloodline could even break through the blessings of the gods. How powerful was that!!
Not only that, but most importantly, the defects of the Witch's Eggs had nothing to do with their bodies.
At the beginning of the world's creation, the five witches sacrificed their bodies to receive the gift of magic, and they themselves also received compensation.
The witches who blinded their eyes could see through the past and the future. The witches who cut off their ears could hear all the secrets of the world. The witches who cut off their tongues could communicate directly with others. The witches who lost their hands could touch untouchable objects. The witches who lost their legs could travel thousands of miles in a day. All of these were achieved through the use of powerful magic.
And the descendants who inherited their bloodline naturally possessed similar powers, so rather than saying that the physical defects of these children were degeneration, it was more accurate to say that it was evolution — because the magic contained and hidden there was enough to replace the parts of the body that should have been there, and so those parts were naturally no longer needed.
Come to think of it, if the children of the witches had such powerful powers, why did they end up worse than dogs?
The answer was simple.
Just like what was mentioned before, there was a powerful magic sleeping in their bodies ….
A powerful magic sleeping in their bodies ….
Sleeping ….
To put it bluntly, although the magic was powerful, it was still sleeping and had not woken up!
Coupled with the "halo" of the forsaken ones, many Children of Witches were killed as soon as they were born. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, there were very few who could live to adulthood. Under such circumstances, most of the time, the Children of Witches were killed before they had any self-awareness, so how could they be expected to awaken?
Even Harry Potter, without the protection of his mother, would have been killed by Voldemort. How could he be the savior?
In fact, the reason why Jenn knew these secrets was that he had read a lot of information in the historical records of the Demons. After all, the Demons were quite proud of teaching magic to humans. In their view, magic was the fire of civilization, and they were much more brilliant than the gods.
Besides the detailed description of the cause and turning point of this major event, there was a more profound reason. That was, Jenn's mother was also a witch.
As the former Queen of the Witches, she was one of the few who lived to adulthood and successfully awakened the power of the witch.
It was with this power that she eventually became the Queen of the Witches.
At that time, Jenn's mother also had a dream, that was to gather many of the children of the witches and build a kingdom of witches.
But in the end, this dream of hers failed, and her soul fell into the underworld after that. She became the concubine of Jenn's father and gave birth to his child. This was the origin of Jenn.
Jenn's mother was obviously not willing to end it, so she left her lifelong research and search information about the children of the witches to her son. Previously, Jenn just treated it as a part of his historical research, but he did not expect it to come in handy in this place.
However, awakening the bloodline of the witches and inheriting the power was not an easy thing.
According to the personal experience of Jenn's mother, just like the Son of God needed to go through all kinds of hardships to kill the final boss at the last moment, the children of the witches also needed to go through a series of hardships and finally awaken the hidden power through darkness and death.
But Jenn did not intend to do it this way. First of all, the risk was too high, and second, the success rate was too low.
Just like the conversion of his Demons' dependents, Jenn pursued a systematic, mass-produced, and regular existence.
Not the kind of existence that needed to rely on luck to get a seed.
That was why he rejected his mother's research direction and changed to his own method — — His method was simple. From Jenn's point of view, the witches' power was only sleeping in the bodies of the children of the witches. As long as the sleeping power was awakened, they could be reborn.
That way, other than the mental stimulation method, there was another way, which was to convert the children of the witches into Demons. Demons were born with the power of darkness. As long as they were converted into Demons, they would possess the power of darkness. The power of the witches' bloodline also came from darkness. As long as the power resonated, there was a high chance that the witches' power would be awakened.
That way, not only would Jenn gain loyal dependents, he would also possess powerful combat power. It was killing two birds with one stone.
However, whether it would succeed or not was another matter. That was why Jenn told Lydia that it would take a long time.
After all, it was not something that could be done in a day or two to turn into actual results.
"All in all, I'll leave these children to you. Just like what I said, they are seeds with great potential. I believe as long as they are given enough time, these children will definitely surprise us."
Before Jenn's voice faded, a soft 'ding' was heard. Then, a line of system notification appeared before Jenn's eyes.
[Grooming is an obligation and a responsibility. Nothing is more challenging than grooming a beautiful girl. To achieve the ending of fatherhood, you must put in more effort.

Jenn was taken aback for a moment before his expression turned gloomy.
It had been so many days since the system released anything useful. It seemed like the system couldn't stay idle anymore.
