Chen Mo was still trying to figure out which method was more suitable when the only servant in the Lord's Mansion said that someone had come to visit.
Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately walked out.
A very plainly dressed female NPC stood outside the door, looking around with a complicated expression.
"Come in, Enoch."
It was Enoch. Three days after the letter was sent, Enoch finally returned to Katrin.
"I didn't expect you to take over Katrin so quickly." Enoch looked at the familiar layout of the room, her eyes filled with a complicated and nostalgic look.
"In order to take over Katrin, I spent a lot of effort."
Chen Mo asked the servant to serve tea. This NPC servant was hired by Sindeli after Enoch left, so she did not recognize Enoch. She just looked at Enoch with a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong with Sindeli? He's not that easy to talk to. From what I know of him, he won't let you take over the territory." Enoch could not help but ask.
Sindeli took advantage of the chaos to seize power and did not let her inherit the territory, so she had no choice but to escape from Katrin. Later, she was willing to take out the inheritance contract because she knew that she had almost no chance of inheriting the territory, so she took it out and transferred it to Chen Mo.
"That old man?
He's dead, but I didn't kill him. He killed himself. "
Strictly speaking, Sindeli died at Fathila's hands, but if Sindeli did not imprison Fathila, he would not have ended up like this. In the end, he was the one who killed himself.
Dead?
Or killed himself?
Enoch could not help but smile bitterly.
However, it had happened. After all these years, she had already gotten over it, and did not regret transferring the territory to Chen Mo. At least he was a man of his word. After inheriting the territory, he informed her to come over according to the agreement.
"By the way, after you take back your father's belongings, do you have anywhere else to go?
Do you want to stay and help me manage Katrin?
This is where you grew up. I think it's better for you to live here than to pretend to be a widow in a place like the Novice Village. I think there are many people who recognize you here. "
Waving his hand, Chen Mo signaled for Enoch to ignore the matter of Sinder, who was already dead. Chen Mo quickly explained his plan.
Enoch was the daughter of the previous feudal lord. Even if she was still very young when she left, she would definitely know more about how to manage a territory than he did. Even if she didn't have any experience, just her identity alone would be able to soothe the people's hearts and make it easier for him to manage Katelyn.
"Help you manage Katrin?" Enoch was shocked.
Chen Mo nodded. "That's right. It's like a job. I'm sure you'll be satisfied with the salary I'll give you. If you have enough management skills, I'll let you do whatever you want. I'll even make you the chief steward of the territory!"
If Enoch really had the ability to manage, he would be free to do other things.
With the Lord Management Panel, he could know the development of the territory at any time. He didn't have to worry about the territory's development going out of control. The general direction of the territory's development would still be decided by him.
This was one of the benefits. The other benefit was that Enoch would be in charge of handling the actual affairs. There were many things that he didn't have to do. As long as he didn't deliberately announce it, no one would know that he was Katelyn's feudal lord.
Now that people knew that he was Katelyn's feudal lord, his reputation would definitely soar. However, it wasn't hard for Chen Mo to imagine that the future development of the territory would be very troublesome.
If he developed the territory, he would become a direct competitor of the major corporations. Naturally, these major corporations wouldn't just stand by and watch him develop. They would definitely think of ways to obstruct him.
With his current financial and material resources, there was no way he could compare to those major corporations. As long as they hired a few more players to cause trouble in the territory, the territory's development would fall into a difficult situation.
So, it was necessary to hire an NPC to act on his behalf. Enoch was the daughter of the previous feudal lord. It would be best if she agreed. Even if Enoch didn't know much, Chen Mo could let her slowly learn. At worst, he would just have to deal with a few more matters himself.
"Let me think about it. I want to make a decision only after I retrieve my father's relics."
Chen Mo's words slightly tempted Enoch. Compared to the Novice Village, Katelyn was undoubtedly her hometown. If she could return to her hometown and have a decent job, she would naturally be more willing to live in Katelyn. After all, she had many memories in Katelyn.
However, she still took a deep breath. She didn't make a decision immediately.
"No problem."
Chen Mo nodded. This kind of thing couldn't be forced. If Enoch was unwilling, he would just have to find another candidate.
With Enoch leading the way, the two arrived before a room that Chen Mo couldn't enter.
Enoch walked up to the door and lightly pressed her palm against it. A faint crimson light flashed, and the originally incomparably sturdy door suddenly loosened.
Sure enough, this room was enchanted with a special magic array!
Chen Mo had already suspected this when he first came to take a look. This room was too sturdy. Even fire wouldn't leave a trace.
With a push of his palm, the wooden door of the room suddenly opened.
Behind the wooden door was a very empty room. There was only a table in the middle of the room. There was nothing else around it.
There was a circular magic barrier on the table. Inside the barrier floated two masses of blood-colored viscous liquid.
Of these two masses of viscous liquid, one was incomparably bright red, while the other was much dimmer.
Looking at these two masses of viscous blood, Enoch took a deep breath. Her expression was a little excited.
Enoch walked forward, and Chen Mo followed behind her.
Walking in front of the magic barrier, Enoch's palm gently pressed against the magic barrier. The magic barrier flashed continuously. After confirming Enoch's identity, the magic barrier disappeared.
"Mother, why did you do this in the first place?" Enoch's hand trembled as she grabbed the mass of bright red blood.
The moment her hand grabbed the mass of blood, Enoch's body was suddenly enveloped by a bloody aura. Her black hair fluttered without any wind, making her look like a bloody witch!
What is this mass of blood?
Chen Mo was shocked as he watched from behind. At this moment, Chen Mo discovered that a figure had suddenly appeared beside him!
Ceci Hailow!
Ceci Hai Luo had actually appeared without his permission. After appearing, he completely ignored Chen Mo, and with a flash of his figure, he rushed towards another blood blob a few meters away.
"Ceci Hailow, stop! Come back immediately!" Chen Mo was shocked and immediately shouted at Ceci Hailow.
In the past, whenever Ceci Hailow wanted something, she would subconsciously inform him and ask him to help her get it.
Now, Ceci Hailow's intelligence was obviously much higher than before. This time, she did not communicate with him at all and rushed to get that mass of blood. Chen Mo had a very bad feeling in his heart.
Although he felt that the mass of blood was very important to Ceci Hailow, Chen Mo still wanted to stop Ceci Hailow!
However, in the face of Chen Mo's command, Ceci Hailow completely ignored it. Her body was still flying. When Chen Mo finished shouting, her hand had already grabbed the dim mass of blood!
Time seemed to have frozen at this moment. Ceci Hailow looked at the dim mass of blood on the table with burning eyes. Chen Mo looked at Ceci Hailow in shock and anger. Enoch, who was shrouded by the bloody aura, looked at Ceci Hailow suddenly moving towards him with a cold gaze!
"Ah!!!"
However, in the next moment, Ceci Hailow's scream broke the frozen time. When her hand grabbed the dim mass of blood and was about to swallow it, her hand was burned by a scorching black flame!
Not only her hand, but the mass of blood also began to burn!
Feeling an extremely intense pain, Ceci Hailow could not help but throw the mass of blood in her hand away. It instantly disappeared and was forcefully sent back to the Pet Space.
Everything happened in an instant. Before Chen Mo could react, the burning mass of blood was thrown onto him by Ceci Hailow!
Chen Mo was shocked. Even Ceci Hailow could not handle the blood. What would happen if it was thrown onto him?
However, what made Chen Mo feel strange was that when the mass of blood landed on him, not only did it not burn, but it quickly extinguished the flames and then turned into a bloody aura that enveloped him. The situation was somewhat similar to Enoch's!
What's going on?
Even though Chen Mo was experienced and knowledgeable, he still couldn't figure out what was going on and what kind of situation was this.
System Notification: You have learned the special skill "God's Punishment Incarnation"!
After a while, the bloody aura that enveloped Enoch disappeared. It was the same on Chen Mo's side. A System Notification appeared, notifying him that he had learned a new skill.
"You got lucky." Enoch walked over and glanced at Chen Mo indifferently.
In just a few minutes, Enoch's image had greatly changed from before. The current Enoch … was somewhat similar to the God's Punishment Witch that Chen Mo had seen before!
"What's going on?"
Chen Mo had a vague guess in his heart, but he still wanted to know the specific facts from Enoch.
"These two masses of blood are the blood of the God's Punishment Witches. They were originally left behind by my mother for my father and me.
As you know, I have the bloodline of the God's Punishment Witches. This bloodline did not come from my father, but from my mother.
Of these two masses of blood, one is the pure blood of the God's Punishment Witches and can only be used by me. The other mass has been modified by my mother and can only be used by men. It was prepared for my father to use. "
"The blood of the God's Punishment Witches?
After using this blood, your God's Punishment Witches bloodline should be able to awaken, right?
Then why didn't you and your father use them back then? Why did you wait until now to use them? "After being shocked, Chen Mo could not help but ask in confusion.
Enoch's father had died in the war twelve years ago. If he had used this mass of blood at that time, he definitely would not have died and Enoch would not have had to leave his home.
"I don't know why my mother did this, either. She set up this room like this a long time ago. She even set up a magic array that can only be opened after I reach adulthood," Enoch said, shaking his head. Complicated emotions filled his heart.
