Chapter 215: Friendly Advice
The efficacy of Sun Holy Water is not particularly great, but for Awakened who do not belong to the Sun God Cult, the effect is surprisingly good.
As long as a large amount of Magic Potion has been ingested, one will be affected by Sun Holy Water; this holy water has the ability to cause the Magic Potion to separate from the body, and at the same time, it will cause those who have ingested the Magic Potion to develop some abnormalities.
If it is an ordinary person affected by Transcendental Power, then using Sun Holy Water will mostly have some therapeutic effect.
If it is an Awakened, then it will be very painful, as if they had been poisoned.
"Ah!" The few people who had been splashed began to roll on the ground. Aikemengde said to the few fellows, "You are merely rats in a dark corner; having lurked in Tana City for so long, you have finally revealed your true faces."
"Ah, us! You are from the Sun God Cult!" The leopard speaking had a human upper body and a leopard lower body; it looked extremely bizarre.
But Sawasi had no time to look at him at all; he was more concerned about his brother.
"Chimu, Chimu!" He pushed Chimu hard and said worriedly, "Lord Bishop, do you have any extra holy water here? He was just force-fed Magic Potion."
"I do." No longer paying attention to the few struggling orcs, Aikemengde strode to Sawasi's side.
"Why did they want to catch you?" Aikemengde said while splashing Sun Holy Water onto Chimu's body.
However, there was no special reaction from Chimu's body.
Because although Chimu himself was a person molded by Chen Zhi, he had not awakened; although there was flesh and blood of Calamity on his body, his status was different, and he would not be affected by such things as holy water at all.
Sawasi shook his head helplessly, "How would I know? They are just like lunatics."
"How could you not know? Don't you know we were chasing down a Bloodthirsty?" The leopard speaking had already changed back into a human appearance; he looked disheveled and miserable. He picked up a long sword at hand and charged at Aikemengde.
Although Aikemengde was a Bishop, as a member of the Sun God Cult, he was not without the slightest ability in melee combat.
He pushed aside Chimu, who was in a "coma," then kicked away the charging leopard, and at the same time backhanded the long sword out of the opponent's hand.
Seeing the few orcs begin to scatter and flee, Aikemengde splashed holy water once again, only this time he added something else.
Boundless radiance emerged from Aikemengde's hands; he intended to perform a Purification here.
"Run!" The leopard rushed up and pounced on Aikemengde, attempting to restrain him.
Those few orcs went their separate ways; some jumped directly out of the windows, and some walked straight out the door.
Others chose to turn back into birds and then soared into the sky.
"You are only one person; do you really think you can deal with so many of us?" The leopard grabbed Aikemengde. He was an Awakened himself; although he had taken a hit of holy water, the power in his body was very strong—this was the benefit gained after awakening.
Clearly, not every Awakened could possess the agility and strength of a leopard; among these orcs, he belonged to the type with relatively strong power.
Sawasi behind Aikemengde broke free from the ropes, then took the holy water meant for Chimu and splashed it out.
"Who said he was the only one?" After saying this, Sawasi also stripped off Chimu's jacket and threw it at the leopard orc opposite.
"Well done!" Taking advantage of the opportunity while the opponent was affected, Aikemengde stood up and gained the upper hand at the same time.
The sound of fists hitting flesh suddenly erupted in the room, and there was even a smell of blood.
"What about those orcs who escaped?" Sawasi said worriedly, "They might coerce those ordinary people; should we ask other churches for help?"
"No need for you to say it, we are already prepared." Aikemengde wiped the bloodstains off his knuckles, "What is this about the Bloodthirsty they mentioned?"
"I am not clear; I am just a Sailor. After returning from the sea with Chimu, I planned to head to Rierna again. I only mentioned these animals and then was targeted by them." Sawasi felt that the things Chimu and the others were doing should not be known to the Bishop of the Sun Church.
On the first day he arrived in Tana City, he had recognized all the factions in Tana City under Chimu's guidance.
For example, the Transcendental captain of the Wealth Church, and the merchant guild Administrator Sarana.
For example, the Bishop of the Wisdom Church, and the university president Harote.
And for another example, the Bishop of the Sun God Cult, Aikemengde.
The reason he was made to recognize them was because Chimu said that if there were problems in the future, they could ask the Zheng Shen Church for help; regardless of which deity's church they were, they would always help them solve many problems.
At the time, he didn't know why he said that, but now he knew.
As long as one tells them their difficulties, they can at least solve some of Tana City's problems, such as these strange orcs.
"It seems you are quite unlucky." Aikemengde knew that Sawasi was an ordinary person; he had not awakened.
It was also clear that the other party was a Sailor who drifted on the sea all year round and would almost never be targeted by these orcs who had lurked in Tana City for many years.
Therefore, there might be many misunderstandings in this.
Picking up the dying orc, Aikemengde signaled for Sawasi to carry Chimu on his back, then followed him downstairs.
On the grounds outside, the players were also very busy; those animals that had escaped were basically controlled by the players and the people from the War Church.
The Formation set up around the area also harvested two orcs; that was a Formation provided by the Wisdom Church, which could make an Awakened's abilities ineffective for a short time, so the unawakened players could directly capture those people.
As for those fellows who flew into the sky, their luck was even worse.
Several thunderbolts descended directly from the sky; before they even understood what was happening, they were struck down.
Two people from the Storm Church dragged these people over; the entire battle process looked very simple.
Except for one player who suffered a minor injury, the whole matter could be said to have been solved perfectly.
The few players who received the news breathed a sigh of relief, especially Amao, who had been feigning sleep but was actually observing in real-time on the forum.
"You're in luck." Amao opened his eyes and comforted the unlucky Mofate, "I want to ask, if the matter is already solved and you don't have to worry about the people chasing you starting tomorrow, will you give us a bonus?"
"What are you thinking? Those fellows are all desperadoes." Mofate said nervously, "Do you not want to take care of me anymore? I tell you, my family is still very wealthy; if you can guarantee my safety and assist me in finding my family, they will definitely give you a large sum of money."
"Don't be afraid, that's not what I meant." It seems this fellow must have the money fully provided to feel at ease; Amao stopped saying anything, "By the way, you haven't said yet, as an Awakened, how exactly do you resist those Magic Potions?"
"Because my constitution is special, the constitution of a Bloodthirsty itself has the ability to resist other Magic Potions, especially those that can affect us; most of the time they don't work, and even if they do, we can digest them very quickly." Mofate explained, "Our blood is special; we don't need to eat, we only need to drink blood to live. Those fellows didn't know my ability, and at first, they were quite lax; I could eat other animals in the cages at will, so they didn't discover at all that my ability was recovering bit by bit."
Thinking of this, Mofate felt a chill in his heart.
Compared to the blood of those animals, he still preferred human blood more.
Of course, for the sake of safety, he would not kill those humans.
"Since you say that, are you or are you not a vampire?" Amao asked curiously, "I mean, are you the kind of guy who likes to drink human blood? And are you afraid of sunlight, afraid of silver Cutting Tools, and afraid of garlic?"
The vampire before him did not have terrifying fangs, nor did he look ferocious or scary; instead, he was even a little handsome.
The players on the forum had long since begun discussing this vampire; after all, he counted as one of the few NPCs who looked decent.
"I, I am not some vampire, at most I am a Blood Clan." Mofate said pretentiously, "Are you not afraid of me? I am someone who drinks blood! Also, how could I possibly be afraid of garlic!"
"So it seems you are indeed afraid of sunlight; besides, aren't you not drinking it right now?" Amao was unimpressed, "If you suck our blood, will it make us awaken too?"
"How is that possible! I don't even have enough for myself!" Mofate refused Amao, "Are you all crazy about wanting to awaken? Our bloodline is very noble; it cannot be given to others casually."
"I didn't say I wanted your bloodline either. I mean, do you know how one awakens to become a Blood Clan?"
It seemed Mofate was also more active at night; during the day under the sunlight, Mofate did not seem very comfortable, especially his clothing, which was clearly afraid of sunlight.
Mofate shook his head, "How would I know? My awakening was provided by my family. My parents passed the ability down to me; how would I know how to make an ordinary person awaken? Perhaps the elders of our family would know such things, but I certainly don't."
"You really don't know anything, do you? Then why did you leave home?" Amao asked curiously.
"Of course it's because I wanted to be independent! Would you be willing to live with your parents until you're two hundred years old, listening to them nag every day?"
"If I could, I really would be willing." Amao's gaze dimmed slightly, "I mean, if you were given a chance now to stay by your parents' side, wouldn't you be willing?"
"Sigh, if I had known, I wouldn't have come out. Listening to nagging is better than turning into a monkey. If those people at home knew I had turned into a monkey, they would definitely mock me." Mofate also began to feel nostalgic, "However, the top priority is to dodge those guys first. I feel like today might be quite safe; after all, I have helpers."
"That's right, rest assured, we took the money, so the service is definitely guaranteed." Amao nodded, "And you don't have to be so guarded against us; I can reveal a piece of news to you."
"What news?" Mofate asked.
He was indeed very wary of these players. After all, although they said they took money to protect him, the possibility that they might sell him out could not be ruled out.
If the other party offered more money than he did.
Therefore, he only told those people that his money all came from the circus.
How much money could a circus have?
In reality, most of the money in his possession was deposited in a chamber of commerce, and he would only withdraw it when needed.
Moreover, through this process of withdrawing money, there was a possibility of making contact with his family.
After all, these accounts would eventually be summarized into the family fund; who knows when his parents might see them and be willing to come looking for him.
Tana City is not a place suitable for the Bloodthirsty to survive; the sun shines brightly here, and the Bloodthirsty living here can only possess boundless pain.
Unless the nightlife here could be as rich as the Royal Capital.
"People from the Sun Church and the Storm Church have already set their sights on those orcs. I think you at least don't need to worry about when those guys will take a potshot at you. In Tana City, you will definitely be safer than in other cities." Amao originally didn't want to tell him, but thinking that the players would definitely have to rotate next, no one could protect this NPC forever and not do their own things.
Like Amao himself, he also had to work shifts and couldn't accompany this guy every night.
If the mission could be finished a bit earlier and a bonus could be earned at the same time, that would be truly great.
Moreover, both sides had a contract; if the other party was unwilling to end it early, then they could also fulfill the contract according to its terms.
Anyway, this guy is an Awakened; it's impossible for him to find another church to judge the matter for him, so he can only follow the contract stipulated by the players.
Hearing this news, Mofate was first secretly delighted.
Then he said worriedly: "Is Tana City going to have a war again? Or have the Believers of the Red Moon Goddess come again?"
"Neither. It's just that without the Red Moon Goddess, those guys should still receive some punishment. If Tana City continues to muddle along like before and ignores those rats in the gutter, sooner or later other goddesses will appear, making Tana City a mess." Amao said quite solemnly, "Tana City cannot have a single problem right now. We still need to cooperate with Gannaer, we also need to communicate well about logistics and transportation issues with the Port City, and we still need to provide logistical support for the War Church. Those rats must be cleaned up in advance to ensure the future prosperity of Tana City."
"What you said sounds like the polite remarks made only when a Governor takes office." After chatting with Amao and the others for a while, Mofate's mood stabilized much more, "Even with the Zheng Shen Church here, I cannot let my guard down; after all, those guys are too bizarre."
Never expected that a vampire would actually call others bizarre.
Amao curled the corners of his mouth and said, "This is nothing; there are many more bizarre things. Aren't those witches just like that? However, if you really think Tana City is not bad, I think you could also settle down here directly."
