Chapter 710: Ground Error Version, Special Effective Against Alcoholics: 'Three Corpses Brain-Awakening Pills

A group of outer members were brought into the Soma Familia headquarters, and these people only felt that believing the news that they could drink Divine Wine for free today and coming over here, they were truly lucky.

Although because of the words of the Soma Familia's former captain Chanisi, they offended the new captain Liliruca Arde, and therefore suffered some physical pain, but being able to drink the Divine Wine that could bring them joy, all of this seemed worth it.

"Thank you, Lord Arde!"

They learned the official members' form of address for the Pallum girl, spouting words of tearful gratitude without sparing their mouths; under the Pallum girl's attitude just now that the Divine Wine was unlimited, there was no doubt that the image of Liliruca played by Broly had already become towering in their hearts — the main point being: whoever has milk is mother.

The outer alcoholics spoke cheap words of thanks on one hand, and anticipated the matter of soon drinking the Divine Wine on the other, not noticing that the Soma Familia official members who already knew the effect of the Rational Wine cast gazes at them that carried some pity.

Broly did not stay to watch the aftermath here; he took Liliruca and escorted a group of failed strugglers toward Pleasure Street.

Bell, on the other hand, volunteered to stay behind to supervise the Soma Familia people, to see if they would properly carry out the orders he had issued.

And according to the youth's later account, the Soma Familia headquarters that night was just like hearing a chorus of frogs in the fragrance of rice flowers speaking of a bumper harvest.

Those who wanted to flee were basically all dragged back, their mouths pried open and Divine Wine poured in, tears and snot all poured out, just as if they had suffered some torture.

Taste was altered, the Divine Wine became incomparably bitter; that indeed counted as torture, similar to pouring golden juice into someone's mouth.

The failures had their hands bound with rope, advancing in a grand procession on the road, truly eye-catching.

Upon arriving at Pleasure Street, unsurprisingly, they were stopped by Ishtar Familia members watching the scene.

"You Soma Familia guys, what do you intend to do coming here?"

Because there was a Familia emblem of a wine cup on their clothing, the Amazons who came out to stop the group directly issued an inquiry.

Of course, if it weren't for this group's large numbers somewhat affecting Pleasure Street's business, they wouldn't have come out to meddle.

After being stopped, Chandra and the others looked at Liliruca — of course, the one whose behavior and personality looked arrogant at a glance.

Broly stepped forward; the Ishtar Familia Amazon women looked over warily, and it was no wonder they had this reaction — the equipment on the Pallum girl who walked out looked luxurious, looking very powerful at a glance.

"We are here to do business," Broly spoke directly, "preparing to go to your Familia headquarters to find Miss Furini."

"Uh————"

The two Amazon women looked at each other in dismay, but since they were guys looking for the captain to do business, they couldn't very well stop them.

"Come with us this way, don't affect the brothel's business."

One of the Amazon women stepped out and actively began leading the way for them.

Not long after, they arrived at the central high platform of Pleasure Street.

Aisha, who was in the middle of hunting prey, was very unlucky to be found again, and could only be forced to work overtime receiving the people who had come.

"Hm? On the day of the Divine Wine Banquet, you Soma Familia guys aren't in your own Familia drinking yourselves into a stupor, running over here to do what? Could it be you plan to sell us some Divine Wine?"

The tall woman whose hunting behavior was interrupted asked with a displeased face.

"We are not here to sell Divine Wine; we are here to sell people."

Broly pointed at the failed captives behind him and explained the purpose of their visit.

"Wine Guardian, Chanisi?"

Aisha looked over and saw the glasses-wearing man being carried, missing an arm and still unconscious.

"So, you plan to sell your own captain?"

She asked with some surprise.

"In fact, he is the former captain."

Broly corrected the other party's words, and in Liliruca's posture, introduced the Pallum girl's current identity.

"And I am the current new captain of the Soma Familia; the former captain behind me and his supporters, as failures, have become people who need to be disposed of."

Aisha understood; a coup had likely occurred inside the Soma Familia. She carefully observed the Pallum girl speaking to her, whose equipment was somewhat luxurious.

Suddenly, she frowned and asked: "Have we met before?"

"We have indeed met, last week, at that time I was following beside someone else, and also sold three people to your Familia's captain, Miss Furini."

Broly nodded and added an explanation: "This is also why I came here, the reason for finding you Ishtar Familia to do this business."

"Supporter————you are that Pallum?!"

Aisha was first stunned, then quickly recalled, only the external appearance of the Pallum girl before her eyes and the Supporter Pallum she had met before had a difference that was truly a bit too huge.

【And, before there didn't seem to be two either————】

Aisha's gaze swept past the Pallum girl behind who was silent, dressed exactly the same, she thought.

"Alright, I know your purpose now; you wait here, I'll go get Furini."

Aisha had the group wait below, and she herself ran upstairs to find Furini.

"Damn it, where did that big toad go?"

However, she searched a circle and didn't find that toad.

"Sister Aisha, what's wrong?"

At this time, a room door next to her opened from inside, and a golden-haired Fox Person girl poked her head out to inquire.

"Chunji, have you seen Furini?"

"As for Miss Furini, at this time point she should be in————"

The Fox Person girl's words weren't finished yet when she suddenly realized that was a secret that couldn't be told, and hurriedly covered her own mouth with her hand.

"That toad bastard, is torturing men again————"

Aisha had a displeased face; although Chunji's words weren't finished, she already knew where Furini was.

Because she had also made a mistake once, and was punished by Goddess Ishtar.

She was taken by that guy Furini to her secret room and tortured.

"Sister Aisha, Miss Furini doesn't let me tell this outside; you must not tell her it was me who told you."

Seeing she was about to leave, the Fox Person girl lay at the room entrance and hurriedly said.

"This matter has nothing to do with you; obediently stay in the room."

The fox girl was sent back to her room, while Aisha went all the way down to the secret underground room.

There, she found Miss Toad.

"Aisha, you're disturbing my fun. You want a beating?"

"Hmph, if someone hadn't specifically asked to do business with you, I wouldn't have come looking for you."

"Huh?!"

Miss Toad's eyes lit up, and she directly asked, "Does that boy have more good goods to sell me?"

"It's got nothing to do with the boy. It's the Pallum girl who came here with him before and sold those three people to your side — she's come looking for you."

Aisha pointed inside the room, at the three raccoon dog people locked in a cage, their eyes somewhat vacant and frames emaciated.

"Pallum?"

Furini didn't recall any Pallum; she directly asked, "What does the other party want with me?"

"Same as that boy who sold you the man — she's also brought some merchandise she wants to sell."

"Why didn't you say so earlier?!"

Furini put on her pants and strode out with large steps.

"Just wanted a change of taste."

The burly Miss Toad walked briskly down the corridor.

When Broly saw her again, she was staring with copper-bell-sized eyes, visible hot breath spraying from her nose, looking at the males present.

After a round of friendly negotiation, thirty-two people from the losing Soma Familia side were sold for a total of 22 million Valis.

Among them, thirty-one people were worth only 11 million Valis; only the unconscious Chanisi, boosted by her status as former Soma Familia Captain, was sold by the Pallum girl Broly transformed into with a single "Add more money" for the price of Soma...

... Familia's withdrawal fee — a single person worth 10 million Valis.

Seeing Miss Furini pay up so readily, one reckons she'll take good care of that former Soma Familia Captain who lost an arm.

Chandra and the group of Soma Familia members who had escorted the people here to the Ishtar Familia residence, upon seeing the heartfelt joyful smile on the Pallum girl's face after she took the money, then looking at the other side where the sleeping beauty former Captain was being carried away in a princess carry by the Man Killer, they suddenly shuddered.

It was late; cleaning up the mess would definitely take quite a bit of time. Staying up late to handle affairs — forget it. Broly had Chandra take the people back to the Soma Familia residence to tidy up first, while he himself headed toward West City with Liliruca.

"Lord Miach, we'd like to consult about the Alcohol Addiction Medicine."

The Blue Pharmacy hadn't closed yet. Broly, restored to his own appearance, entered the shop with the Pallum girl and spoke to the Male God Miach, who was grinding medicinal herbs with a stone mortar behind the counter.

"Is there a problem with the medicine?"

Miach stopped his hand movements and looked at them gently.

"Lord Miach, I want to know why the Alcohol Addiction Medicine can only change the taste of alcohol, rather than directly cure the Divine Wine addiction."

"Broly, do you know what Divine Wine addiction is?"

"I've never even drunk alcohol, how would I know?"

"Divine Wine addiction stems from the Divine Wine's incomparable flavor, which brings the drinker an irreplaceable euphoria and intoxication.

When drinking Divine Wine, consciousness is drawn by the pure flavor, the heart feels extreme bliss, even producing a sensation of being dominated.

The difference from ordinary alcohol: although Divine Wine also makes one drunk, it doesn't cause loss of reason or frenzy; after the drunkenness passes one naturally sobers, and the lingering emotion and shock are incomparable to ordinary alcohol.

The reason it addicts is simply that it brings the drinker a flavor with sufficient sensory impact; to suppress the addiction it brings, one can only start from the flavor aspect."

Miach answered Broly's post-purchase questions about the medicine in a gentle voice.

"Alright."

Broly nodded.

"Then, we want to know the duration of this medicine's effect?"

"Those who have drunk Divine Wine will always remember its taste; to eradicate the addiction requires longevity. Though it cannot last a mortal's lifetime, maintaining it for a dozen years or so, achieving an effect similar to a half taste curse, is still possible."

Miach answered with a divine smile; he was quite confident in his medicine compounding capability.

"Then, can this be lifted in advance?"

Liliruca asked.

Wanting a group of alcoholics who can't leave alcohol to never touch a drop again — even the Pallum girl felt that was unreliable.

The losing side need not be considered; even neutrals can be disregarded. But the Soma Familia members on her side — they absolutely cannot have declared their stance and still get the short end of the stick.

"If you want to lift it, it's actually simple: buy a bottle of Panacea and drink it. The Panacea made with mermaid blood as the main material cures all ills; the Alcohol Addiction Medicine counts as a kind of taste poison, though it only targets things containing alcohol."

"Ah, one bottle of Panacea costs 8 million Valis. Is there a cheaper antidote?"

"For a cheaper antidote, you'd need to reverse-engineer the pharmacology of the Alcohol Addiction Medicine to compound it.

However, for me, who compounded the Alcohol Addiction Medicine, that's not a difficult point.

It just requires spending some time and effort."

"We'll pay for it."

Broly put a bag of Valis on the table, intending to settle the Alcohol Addiction Medicine bill first.

"Thanks for your patronage~"

At some unknown time, the dog girl Naza had come to the side; after taking the money bag she even said thanks.

"However, can the antidote to the Alcohol Addiction Medicine be made to temporarily lift the effect?"

"Hmm?" Miach looked over with some puzzlement. "What do you mean?"

"Lili will probably reorganize the Soma Familia's internal wind qi afterwards; I think maintaining the Alcohol Addiction Medicine state is a relatively necessary thing."

What surfaced in Broly's consciousness was the Three Corpses Awakening Pill; he roughly described to the god Miach the effects the medicine in his mind could achieve.

"Understood. You want to regulate the Soma Familia members' future behavior by distributing an antidote to the Alcohol Addiction Medicine with a time-limited removal, right?"

"Mm."

"Pharmacologically, achieving this would be harder than simply making an antidote that removes the Alcohol Addiction Medicine's effect."

"We'll pay extra."

"That's not what I meant————"

The words Miach wanted to explain were interrupted by the dog-person girl beside him nudging him with her elbow.

"Cough cough, if you're willing to pay extra, Broly, then I can make that kind of antidote for you."

After a light cough, the god Miach, who looked like a young nobleman, spoke somewhat worldly words.

As the saying goes, a single coin can stump a hero; even as a god, he needed to consider the finances of his indebted Familia.

In response, Broly didn't waste words, directly placing nearly seven million valis on the table after deducting equipment reimbursement costs.

"No, it doesn't cost that much."

"Thank you for your patronage～"

The voices of the nobleman god and the dog-person girl rang out almost simultaneously.

"It's fine, earning money is still very simple for me."

Broly didn't care much about the expenditure of money.

"I hope to get the antidote we need by tomorrow morning."

He said.

"No problem, even if I don't sleep tonight, I'll custom-make that antidote."

The god Miach nodded, taking people's money, working overtime as a workhorse for them.

In a flash, another two days passed.

In those two days, the Soma Familia was reorganized from top to bottom.

Now, the Soma Familia has completely changed its appearance.

Outside the Familia residence, the drunkards who spent their days in drunken dreams could no longer be seen.

But a group appeared who, because they drank the Rational Wine and were passively forced into withdrawal, subsequently showed severe withdrawal reactions.

"Lord Ede, please, give me the antidote, I don't want to drink Divine Wine anymore, ordinary wine is fine, ah, if I don't drink alcohol I feel like I'm going to die."

How should I put it, this Familia seems to look even more like a place selling some kind of white medicine powder than before.

"So, Miss Lili, this is just you helping your own Familia members quit drinking, and not using some prohibited substance drug to control them?"

Due to the wailing here, someone reported it to the Guild, and the Guild sent staff over to conduct an inquiry and take a statement.

"Yes, Miss Eina, I am willing to cooperate with the Guild's investigation; they simply became like this because I made them quit drinking."

"Alright, I generally understand the situation, but drinking shouldn't be a big deal, right? I also have a small drink after work; there's really no need to do it like this."

The half-elf lady persuaded with a sentence.

"Miss Eina, you don't understand the previous situation of the Soma Familia; many people here were corrupted by the internal competition mechanism created by the former Captain Chanisi, who used Divine Wine as bait, driving Familia members to frantically pursue money and achievements in order to drink Divine Wine, and consequently do things like swindling and deceiving.

Deep-rooted evils are hard to cure; if I don't use strong medicine, I myself would find it difficult to change the Soma Familia's terrible atmosphere in a short time.

However, please report back to the Guild, Miss Eina, and put the Guild at ease: for those peripheral members, as long as they are willing to reform, work hard, and live seriously, I will still lift their prohibition order afterwards."

Liliruca saw the half-elf lady off, then sat down on the sofa in what was originally Chanisi's office, letting out a long exhale.

Being the captain of a Familia of hundreds is not that easy; these past two days the Pallum girl has been busy rectifying the Familia's internal atmosphere on one hand, and sorting out the Soma Familia's original wine business on the other, receiving cooperative merchants who came to investigate the situation, worried that the wine supply might have problems after hearing about the upheaval inside the Soma Familia.

Wine merchants, tavern bosses, and such people need not be mentioned; there were also some who collaborated with Chanisi, secretly buying Divine Wine at high prices.

Although Chanisi is gone, the wine business still has to be done; Liliruca now rather has the feeling of Master Huang, every day when dawn breaks and she opens her eyes, she has to face hundreds of mouths waiting to be fed in the Familia.

Fortunately, a human trade was done with the Pleasure Street side, establishing a connection; the Ishtar Spring Clan gave a monthly wine order of thirty million valis yesterday, which can probably provide stable job positions for about twenty to thirty people.
