Chapter 216: Some Sympathy

Mofate felt that he was truly crazy, because he really had plans to purchase a property in Tana City.

And he also intended to purchase a property according to his own requirements.

He intended to buy a plot of land, and then build a castle on that land that belonged to his own aesthetic.

In any case, he did not know where he could escape to; in Tana City, as long as one had money, one could find bodyguards, but if one left Tana City, it would be too difficult for him to find people willing to protect him.

"Sir, my suggestion is this appearance, but if it is to be built, it will take at least about four years." Zhongshan Laoren handed the work of building the structure to a more experienced builder, Liu Qiang, whose ID in the game was "Porter of Nature," though under normal circumstances, when introducing himself, he said his name was Nature.

After all, translating the term "porter" for these natives would seem very strange.

"Phonetic Telephone" was also not very healthy in Tana Language, so he could only call himself Nature.

If he had known about the pronunciation problem in advance, he definitely would not have chosen this ID for himself.

When Mofate walked into this office of the players, he did not feel afraid at all.

Those guys could not possibly make a move in front of so many people, and there were also people from the Wealth and War Church inside; the guard could be said to be strict.

This office, located in the dock area, had already become one of the places with the most people in all of Tana City.

Because to buy shops or build houses, the first place everyone chose was this Dock Area Construction Committee.

There were many workers here looking for jobs, and many merchants preparing to invest in a vacant plot of land to build a factory. There were also various shopkeepers wanting to build new shops.

There were even people like Mofate, who hoped to purchase a plot of land to build a mansion.

This kind of matter had already been entrusted by the Government Building to the player Zhongshan Laoren.

This player represented the Dock Area Construction Committee, contracted the idle vacant land in the dock area, and then carried out sales and construction independently; even the planning was done by these players.

Of course, this was the lazy governance of the Government Building.

It was also an opportunity that Saina had fought for the players.

"This blueprint of yours..." Mofate felt amazed by all the design drawings in the album.

Just seeing the exterior, he had already taken a liking to at least three castles.

Among them, the most beautiful and also the most bizarre castle would take eighty years to build.

He certainly hoped to own such a castle, but the construction time for this castle was a bit too long, so long that these builders did not know if they could finish building it in their lifetime.

Of course, this was an estimated time; in reality, it might be a bit shorter, but that builder seemed not to dare to guarantee it.

Because materials and construction workers were both problems, and most importantly, the design plan was also relatively incomplete; it could only be called a semi-finished product.

There was also another castle that looked very good; in terms of appearance, it fit Mofate's aesthetic, it was just a bit too inclined toward being feminine.

Although it had no name and no specific explanation, Mofate instinctively felt it was not masculine enough; although he looked somewhat effeminate, he preferred castles that were more masculine.

Thus, he could only choose the most middle-ground one.

"The current construction price for the entire castle is 3,000 Xide; counting the workers' wages, it will take at least 5,000 Xide to complete the construction," Nature said, pointing at the blueprint. "If you also need interior decoration, the price will have to be calculated separately, because we have no way to estimate what the price will be at that time."

"Four years, about how long until I can move in?" Mofate still felt the time was a bit too long.

"If you are in a hurry, you can move into the Yinglou in about four months. We will build this castle in batches; in about a year, the entrance part will be finished, and the garden part can also be completed in advance. As for the functional rooms later on, they will require more time." As expected of an experienced builder, his grasp of the construction period was very precise; he directly took out paper and pen to start calculating, and then gave an approximate time.

Of course, if it were not for the fact that the current level of productivity was too low, two years would be enough to complete the construction of this castle.

It was a pity that this was inside a game, and the workers themselves had not undergone much training, so the construction time might be even longer.

Hearing that he could live in the Yinglou first, Mofate felt much more at ease. "That's fine. As for the wages, I have decided to pay in stages; you have no objections, right?"

"None, but for the site selection, you still need to go to the Government Building yourself, because we are only responsible for the residential area of the dock area here; for a castle, it depends on where you wish to choose."

"I will choose the dock area, right here. You can leave a larger portion of the residential area for me, even if it is on the edge." Mofate no longer intended to find some outrageous place to live in seclusion.

Although as a Bloodthirsty, most would choose to live in deep mountains and old forests, Mofate did not want that now.

He suddenly understood his parents, why they wanted to settle in the prosperous Royal Capital.

After all, the Royal Capital was safer; there were enough official Awakened there, and as long as one did not provoke them, one could ensure one's own safety.

Like himself, leaving home to run off and find a better castle, for the sake of living in seclusion, the consequence was being hunted by those inexplicable Awakened.

This year-plus of experience had made Mofate much more sober; he suddenly realized how wrong the things he had done before were.

Seeing the other party say this, Nature hesitated for a moment. "I am thinking this: if you are willing, you can place the castle here, in the position against the river."

"This location..." Mofate's eyes lit up. "Can I also own a private dock?"

"If you give enough money, it is not impossible. We can choose a place with deeper water for you to serve as a private dock, but you must abide by the rules of Tana City; there must be inspection personnel working there." After making it clear, Nature suddenly had a new understanding of the wealthy person in front of him.

According to what was said on the forum, this guy stole the entire circus's income and then began a life of fleeing.

But no matter how one looked at it, it felt like this guy did not just have the circus's income.

He definitely had more income; it was just that he did not say it.

Just as Mofate was steadily choosing his new castle, those few Orc Awakened who were not completely dead woke up in the prison.

To prevent them from escaping, there was not a single window in the prison; whether it was the walls or the floor, they were all built with Steel.

In this iron cage, no matter what they turned into, it was very difficult to run out.

Not to mention that a Formation was also set up outside, enough to ensure they had no way to leave this place.

The Leopard-man raised his head and saw a lady dressed in a very masculine way. He looked her over, and upon seeing the Gold Tie at her neck, he let out a cold snort.

"I thought it would be people from the Sun God Cult coming to interrogate me."

Sarana did not take up the other party's words, but instead took out the document in her hand. "This is your lease contract; it shows that you arrived in Tana City eleven years ago."

"So what? Our influence in Tana City has been developing for more than thirty years." The Leopard-man looked at her. "At that time, you probably hadn't been born yet."

"Even so, you still committed many shocking crimes." Sarana, as if passing judgment, said in a light voice, "Your companions have already confessed; they said that you belong to the Protect Nature Organization. This organization is ostensibly based on protecting animals and plants, but in reality, it is a gathering place for animal Awakened. You only had one gathering spot in Tana City; I have to say, we really didn't pay enough attention to you before."

"If it weren't for those stupid witches always doing those irrational things, we wouldn't be left with only one safe house." The Leopard-man clenched his fists; ever since those witches did those stupid things, the population of Tana City had become larger and larger.

There were fewer and fewer empty rooms; as long as one did not live there, the landlord would find a way to dump the problem on the tenant, even if the tenant provided the rent paid in advance to the other party, the other party would not be willing to continue renting to someone who did not live there.

Because these houses might have a different price after a week.

The circus was not in Tana City, so no matter how much money it made, it could not be spent on them just like that.

With resources already stretched thin, it is truly too difficult to rent any more safe houses.

Sarana continued to recite the other party's crimes, "Over the past ten years, you have captured at least thirty humans and fed them Magic Potions, turning them into animals."

"That is because they did not respect the God of Biology; they deserved to die," the leopard-man said, squinting his eyes.

"I have never heard of this deity, and your deity has likely never given you any response." Sarana had not completely never heard of this deity.

When she was explaining things to those players earlier, she had already spoken about the matter of the God of Biology.

This deity is currently a deity without living characteristics; He never responds to anyone, merely proceeding step-by-step to fix the genes of every person and object.

Some people will attempt to break this genetic chain and transform themselves into any other appearance.

Most people will turn into animals, and a very small minority choose to turn into plants.

No matter how they choose, in the end, emotionally, they will grow closer and closer to the animals or plants they have become.

This also leads to fewer people turning into plants, because plants cannot think normally.

Their transformation into animals also increases the possibility of activity, so almost everyone who believes in the God of Biology will choose to turn into some kind of animal.

This requires them to observe frequently.

Although the God of Biology has no way to respond to His Believers, He can still provide them with quite a bit of knowledge.

This knowledge is nothing more than which Magic Potions can change humans into other species.

The Magic Potion for awakening and the Magic Potion for turning into beasts were both imparted by the God of Biology; of course, He only imparted them passively, not actively to any specific person.

Therefore, those who awaken and become Awakened within the system of the God of Biology face many dangers.

If one is very unfortunate and obtains too much knowledge during the awakening, it is very easy to die suddenly.

After all, this "deity" has no way to control how much knowledge He imparts to His Believers.

The leopard-man chuckled, "If there really were no such deity, it should have been impossible for me to awaken. How could the knowledge I obtained, and the things I did after awakening, be a dream?"

"Fine, if you firmly believe there is such a deity." Sarana knew that what she was saying was itself a very secret fact.

Not all Awakened know about such things; it was only because of her special status that she could understand these matters.

"How do you intend to deal with me? Although I have been caught by you, and my friends have also been caught by you, our friends are infinitely numerous; humans will never be able to oppose nature."

"You speak well, I just want to understand some things from you." Sarana did not want to converse much with this kind of fanatical Believer.

But there was no choice; Archbishop Aikemengde of the Sun God Cult had very important things to do, and for this Archbishop, building churches was the most important thing.

Especially after those actors seemed to have the idea of building a theater to rival the Sun God Cult.

As for the Wisdom Church, they themselves only hoped to provide a little help to brush up their presence.

But they would have no interest in participating in such things as interrogations.

The remaining people of the War Church were even more so Xiahui People, and the main force was already on the territory of the Barbarian.

Then those few people from the Storm Church were not a Zheng Shen Church authorized by Tana City; they did not even have a church, so there was even less possibility of letting them come over to interrogate.

Being able to let them preach in the city was already an act of tolerance toward them.

After all, although the Storm Church is a Zheng Shen Church, for the Federal, they are not a church that can just come over and spread religion at will.

"Are you trying to ask us why we caught that Sailor?" the leopard-man said, gritting his teeth helplessly, "How would I know that guy didn't know anything? Those two guys were just joining in the fun!"

"You were looking for someone?" Sarana had already inferred a little bit of the process through the captured Sawasi.

"Yes, our circus lost a person. That person was an Awakened who, after taking the Magic Potion, slowly recovered and turned back into a human."

"He stole some documents and money from our circus."

"That money is not very important, but the documents are all very important. Among them, a portion belongs to the Oracle; we cannot let those things flow outside, especially some Magic Potion Formula that are very important to us." The leopard-man said fiercely, "But who knew that just as we finally found the other party, we were discovered by someone."

"You thought it was Sawasi who discovered you, so you kidnapped him, wanting to sound him out?" Sarana felt some sympathy for these guys.

It was just a misunderstanding, but they were very unfortunate to have captured the friends of the Xiahui People; given the degree to which they stick together, finding a way to save their own clansmen and friends was only natural.
