Chapter 81: Compensation is More Important

Sheets of potions splashed out, along with flames, poison mist, and blinding smoke...

It couldn't be said that the witch lacked equipment, but it was definitely headache-inducing; her preparations were far more thorough than Agnes'.

However, by this time, the players inside the Clock Tower had basically all run out. There was indeed strength in numbers, and besides, players didn't know what pain was.

In any case, the one who was truly uncomfortable was Chen Zhi himself. He stared at the chaos before him, but until now, he hadn't dared to add even a single Curse to this witch.

He didn't know why, but clearly, when he had added a Curse to that fleeing man just a moment ago, he hadn't felt any psychological pressure at all.

But this witch... for no reason, he felt just a little bit afraid.

At this moment, the sky had turned completely dark, with only the faint, looming Red Moon hidden beneath the clouds.

This wave of Laina's attacks had caused several more players to collapse. The pungent smell was nauseating; if the players hadn't already been tempered in the Sewers, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.

Standing in the back, You'eryuan felt dizzy. Having just rushed out of the Clock Tower, they were faced with a scene like a Shura Hell. The only difference was that players wouldn't scream from excessive pain.

Looking at a few friends who were missing half their faces, You'eryuan felt a wave of nausea in their stomach, then their vision went black, and they took off their Helmet.

It really was a bit too stimulating, but at the thought that the mission wasn't finished yet, they resolutely put the Helmet back on.

"Trash." Laina gritted her teeth. Hearing the movement behind her, she had originally wanted to use the eyes of the descendant to escape, but it turned out this person had actually fainted.

As she turned, she was pelted with sand by a player. Immediately after, they grabbed whatever was handy; even the flowers and dirt on the sides of the road were thrown at her by the players.

It was just that these attacks were too childish. Laina snorted coldly and casually picked up a broom that a player had thrown.

A broom was all she needed. She straddled it directly, softly chanted a spell, and then, under the siege of the players, chose to leave.

Even the Gold Tie couldn't hope to trap her. Looking back at the Clock Tower, Laina gritted her teeth. This time, she would let these Gold Ties go. In any case, if it were the Holy See of the Gold Ties, they would always send people to escort the Gallows back to the Sanctuary; she didn't believe these guys wouldn't make a single mistake.

As for the Barbarians, hehe, the cooperation should be over.

Feng Buxi, who was lying on the ground, had already logged off, but his body was still absorbing that child who was no longer in human form.

Feng Buer looked at his friend in pain. He clearly could have had a better life, at least not living in the midst of War. He could have moved bricks at a construction site, worked as a thug in a bar, or even gone to the battlefield to be a Warrior.

No matter what, he shouldn't have died so suddenly.

He clearly didn't have to come. If he hadn't called him when he went to the Factory District back then, he wouldn't have died...

This Gold Tie captain painfully closed Feng Buxi's eyes.

This time, the Golden Church had suffered heavy losses.

7 Awakened had died, 4 Awakened were seriously injured, and a large number of ordinary members had been killed or wounded in this battle.

Even the newcomer he had worked so hard to develop had died miserably here.

He would definitely apply for enough compensation for Feng Buxi.

He just didn't know if he still had any family.

As soon as he logged off, Feng Buxi opened the forum. Although it was already early morning, he really couldn't sleep.

This feeling of suddenly logging off was really unpleasant.

He clearly felt he was doing fine; who could have imagined he would kick the bucket without a single injury on him?

And he had died right in front of the Gold Tie. Now that he had respawned, he didn't know if he could continue to fool the other party.

He couldn't just say they were twins, could he?

He didn't think the other party wouldn't be able to tell the difference. The NPCs in this game were so intelligent; could they really not react to his change?

You'eryuan: @Feng Buxi, tell you some good news, you have already received 10 Gold Tana in compensation. It is said to be enough to buy a manor in Tana City, or simply buy a two-story house in the Royal Capital.

Feng Buxi to You'eryuan: The houses in the Royal Capital are a bit too expensive, aren't they...

Yunxiao to Feng Buxi: You have to consider one problem: Tana City uses Tana, but the Royal Capital does not.

Luolita to Feng Buxi: Grain is worthless in Tana City, but it's different in the Royal Capital. I've asked around; ordinary prey basically doubles in price by ten times once it reaches the Royal Capital. The black bread we think is cheap enough to be considered inexpensive—if you go to the Royal Capital, the price of this sand-mixed black bread will increase fivefold.

You'eryuan: I've asked around; 1 Gold Tana in the Royal Capital has about the same purchasing power as 1 Silver Tana. It can only be exchanged for about 125 Side. Although it is indeed a huge sum for an ordinary family, in the Royal Capital, it counts at most as a civil servant's annual income. If you want to take the Train to the Royal Capital, a single ticket costs 25 Side, so Tana City is really too remote.

Somehow, the players' attention shifted from the witch incident to life in the Royal Capital.

Chen Zhi flipped through for a long time before finding a few scattered posts.

It was mainly because not many players had died in the battle. The players were supporting from the rear; only the particularly fierce ones who wanted to go head-to-head with the Barbarians appeared here.

For example, Zhuguli.

Zhuguli: Brothers online, remember not to all die, otherwise you won't be able to collect the compensation! Remember not to charge up together! The skill those Barbarians like to use most is Charge, it's unexpected, you must be careful!

Zhuguli: Are there no brothers coming down to keep me company?

Zhuguli: Is no one concerned about the battlefield? How is it now?

Shurima Great Deer to Zhuguli: No, what's there to be concerned about on the battlefield? Anyway, you've already come down, why not discuss what actually happened in the city.

It seemed the city defense was indeed fine. Chen Zhi closed the forum and said to Saina, who had rushed over seeking protection: "Don't worry, this War has already passed."

"But this time, wasn't there still a witch causing trouble? The Red Moon in the sky..."

"That is not important." Chen Zhi put on a mystical air, "You only need to do your own part."

Saina had originally not believed in the Lord of Calamity, but now, hearing the other party say this, she already knew what she had to do.

The chaos in the city was only temporary; she needed to persuade her father not to leave Tana City at this time, and to stand with the entire Tana City.

The thick clouds in the sky would not disperse for a while, the fighting in the city was still continuing, and the nobles were also arguing endlessly. No one wanted to leave Tana City, but the current situation was truly too terrible.
