Chapter 364: The Fountain of Youth (21)
Rolinta, whose full name was Rolinta Megan, was the daughter Grant had fathered with the spouse of his second body while he was inhabiting it. She was also the younger sister of Eli Megan, the fourth body Grant had taken over.
She was a child who had been born with something extraordinary about her.
Her unusual bloodline may have been inherited from her Irish mother’s side. From childhood onward, every plant or flower that Rolinta cared for flourished with extraordinary vitality. Even in winter, they would incongruously sprout lush, tender green leaves.
Moreover, dying animals that Rolinta happened to pick up from the roadside could recover rapidly with only minimal care, and they rarely became ill.
Rolinta’s mother soon noticed that something was unusual. Concerned, she spent a fortune bringing in a renowned exorcist to examine her daughter.
After conducting an examination, the exorcist told her that Rolinta was not being haunted or possessed by any evil spirit.
“Madam, there is nothing unclean around your daughter. She is filled with pure, fresh natural energy. You have no need to worry. The reason she displays these unusual phenomena is simply because she carries a certain concentration of the bloodline of the Bountiful Witch.”
They were a relatively uncommon type of nature-based witch.
They could not learn spells and were not particularly skilled in witchcraft rituals. Their only innate advantage lay in caring for plants and animals. In agricultural societies, they were revered for bringing about bountiful harvests. But by the industrial age, in the wealthy Megan family, what use could there possibly be for someone like Rolinta, whose gift was “abundance,” other than marrying her off for an advantageous alliance?
