Chapter 29 Purification(1/2)
After treating the wounds, Lu En left them there for the time being, then went out to knock on the door and found the captain of the airship.
"Something happened here, but I solved it. You're welcome." Lu En said to the captain.
This left the captain completely confused and confused, but the people who could live in the upper cabin of the airship were all rich or noble people, so he didn't want to offend him, so he ordered the first mate to take over his current affairs, and he followed.
This man, who looked like a high-level professional, walked to where he said what happened.
He was dumbfounded at first sight. Cold sweat rolled down his forehead and his back, soaking his clothes.

The alchemist on the airship is dead, and there are obviously traces of some kind of sacrificial ritual around him. This is a big deal, a big deal of decapitation!
If the sacrificial ceremony is some kind of harmful ritual, the whole ship's people may be in bad luck. The lower class of people on this ship are fine, but the upper class are all dignitaries. If one of them dies, it will be more troublesome than if all the lower class dies.
Even more serious!
"Thank you...thank you, sir." He wiped the sweat from his temples, managed to relieve the weakness in his legs, and expressed his gratitude to Lu En.
If the other party hadn't discovered and killed it in advance, I'm afraid things wouldn't have ended well.
"Don't be so afraid. It's not a ritual of mass destruction, it's a blood purification ritual. How do you deal with the two victims over there?" Lu En said, indicating that the matter was not that bad, but someone was still injured.
Lifelong disability, because the lost limbs were directly sacrificed in rituals, which is equivalent to being erased conceptually. Even the restoration spells of mages or the miraculous spells of priests cannot restore them. They will only live in this life.
He can be used as a personal stick.
This is also the reason why blood purification rituals are not commonly used. For example, in Nana's time, the drop of blood that the elder popped out actually disappeared and will not disappear through natural recovery. Although the loss is very small, it is irreparable.
Yes, to use Lu En's words, the blood limit has been cut by 1 point.
If there were no such restrictions, with the elder's recovery ability, he could draw two to three hundred barrels a day, and there would be no problem in casually producing hundreds of level 7 high-level vampires.
"Bloodline purification... Huh, so that's it, that's it!" The captain breathed a sigh of relief, then put away his fear, put his mind to it, and went to see the wounded man.
Because he knew that the alchemist on the ship was a branch of the Walder family, he understood that the purified blood must be of the same bloodline as his own. If the sacrifice was a young lady from the Duke's family, it would be a big deal.
!
I hurriedly rushed over to take a look, and found that it was a hybrid of two monsters, with silver and black hair, and the arm that was left outside, it should be some kind of owl.
His hanging heart was completely relieved. Fortunately, the sacrifice was a hybrid of two monsters, so this matter was solved.
From now on, just keep it a secret.
So he looked at Lu En. He was obviously a powerful mage. He might be someone from a certain academy, such as Graycastle or the Royal Academy. It would definitely be bad to force him to stay, and it might even make things worse, so
He walked over with a flattering smile: "Mr.——"
Lu En knew what he was thinking, and waved his hand: "I won't tell others, and I don't need any bribes, but I want to take these two people away, okay? I will take these away, and you will be responsible for dealing with the remaining traces.
, how about we just pretend this never happened?”
The captain obviously didn't expect Lu En to be so reasonable. He hurriedly agreed and then went to deal with the ceremony scene.
Anyway, there is no problem with the magic furnace, and this matter has not spread, so it is best for him to pretend that this matter does not exist.
As for the sneak attack, to shut up the mage in front of him completely and clear up the last clues and possibilities... It's not that he hasn't thought about it, but after looking at the metallic color of the two monster hybrids, he still chose to give up.
A mage of at least level 5 is not so easy to deal with. If the other party uses all his strength, or uses the magic furnace here to use a sunburst, he will directly blow up the airship...
Thinking of this, he sighed and gave up the idea of intercepting the opponent directly.
So, he started to pack up his things, throwing the things he didn't need into the magic furnace and burning them. He also collected some materials himself, without any intention of sharing them with Lu En.
What the other party said is for you, you can’t just keep your word, right?!
As for the two victims, he checked and found that they were a mixture of monsters, average appearance, and disabled. They were not worth a lot of money. There was no need to rob them. It might be that the mage had some special hobbies. There were many such people.
,it's not a big deal.
He quickly packed up his things and left, staring at Lu En: "Then hurry up. It's not easy to bring people here. Don't leave the bodies lying around. Just put them directly in the magic furnace. It's really... you mages are getting more and more intolerant."
It’s getting heavier... but fortunately it’s just a monster.”
He muttered, turned around, and locked the door thoughtfully.
Lu En shook his head. Of course he knew what the other person was talking about. The prejudice against monsters in this world is so great.
The nobles exploited the landlords and wealthy merchants, the landlords and wealthy merchants exploited the common people, and the common people exploited monsters and monster hybrids, layer after layer, and they became more and more ruthless.
The simple truth is that when resources are stretched thin, everyone will not choose to save money from the places where they are least needed, but from the people who are easiest to bully.
The greed of the nobles allowed them to absorb all the wealth. Others did not have enough resources, so they naturally had to find the best to bully.
"You probably can't speak, but you're not unable to communicate. Let's slow down the injury first. I'll use magic to connect our two minds. Let's talk about what's going on?" Lu En squatted down. He was still conscious, but was cut off.
The girl with the tongue said.
After speaking, he gently drew a rune on the other person's forehead, and then tapped his own head.
This is mental resonance, a level 1 magic. It has no other use than communication. It is just a message sent directly through mental thinking without speaking.
"Thank... thank you, sir!" The girl's voice rang out from her mind. In addition, there were many noises. Some were cursing the bald alchemist, some were crying and lamenting their current body, and some were worried.
Some of the sisters next to me are looking forward to their future lives.
There were so many noises that people could hardly hear what she just said.
Lu En didn't find it strange. The flaw of mental resonance is this. For many people who can't control their thoughts and minds, mental resonance can be used as a lie detector. Many of their inner thoughts will be directly reflected, which is very noisy.
.
But Lu En certainly doesn't have this problem. If he can't even control his mind, then there's no need to even think about casting a spell. During the process of casting a spell, outlining the spell model, filling in runes, and injecting magic power, each one requires full concentration.
, there are too many distracting thoughts and it is impossible to fail, which will cause the spell to fail.
Lu En accepted the thank you calmly and nodded slightly: "Don't worry too much, what's your name? Why is it like this? Did something happen?"
"Sir...my name is Anji. I was in Orang before——" The monster hybrid named Anji was recalling the original events in his mind and wanted to tell Lu En everything.
After listening to her narration, Lu En understood the cause and effect of everything.
It turns out that this girl named Anji was once a member of the workshop that Lu En spread, and Lu En, the person in charge of that workshop, also knew a human named Kesto, who used to work in Larante's
He worked in a bookstore and was hired by Lu En as a clerk. Later, he was attracted by the workshop because he was one of the few literate people in the workshop at that time. He was also smart and cautious, kind-hearted but not pedantic, and he knew how to be flexible.
He was entrusted with important tasks by Bai, and even later led a caravan on his own to open and expand a new workshop.
This Anji is a member of Kesto's workshop. She was originally a cook. She has the blood of a silver-faced owl. Her mother died young and her father is unknown. She grew up in a small chamber of commerce in the Hall of Glow.
She has been relatively lucky since she was a child. She did not live around and struggle to survive. Instead, she and her sister were fostered in a chamber of commerce when she was very young. At first, she was kept as a pet similar to cats and dogs. She also worked part-time as an alarm clock. She got up early every day and used a silver mask.
The owl's distinctive shriek helped people in the chamber of commerce get up, and when they grew older, they began to help in the kitchen.
This kind of experience makes her life much better than that of most monster hybrids. At least she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, her life is in danger, and she can sometimes get rewards.
Domestic cats and dogs always lead better lives than wild cats and dogs.
Later, she simply worked as a cook concurrently and cooked for humans. Now her life was better. She could eat leftovers every day and be full from time to time. The gentlemen of the chamber of commerce did not want to cause trouble to them.
The wages are also much higher than those of workers. If it weren't for her sister's illness, she really feels that this kind of life is actually quite good, and it would be good to continue it. Although it is a bit tiring, it is still better than miners.
Seeing how they worked so hard every day but didn't have enough to eat, Anji felt really lucky.
And she also has Dr. Agref, who has always been helping her, and she has always regarded the doctor as the most trustworthy person. Even... the girl has always had an ignorant spring in her heart, hoping that one day, she can marry her sister together.
To the doctor.
Later, when Gongfang came to buy the Chamber of Commerce and received an education, Anji realized that she was no different from them. We were all oppressed groups. Her good life was only temporary. Her suffering would come later.
, will still get married and live that kind of life, but my sister will also die without money for medical treatment.
That's why she was willing to join the workshop, study, and work hard, and maybe one day she could repay the doctor.
But after that, things were different.
She always thought doctors were good people.
But when she became an adult, the doctor told her to take her somewhere. She was very happy, and she and Mr. Kesto asked for leave and went with her.
The doctor said that he had worked hard to save his sister Philly's life, and now he needed them to do him a favor.
Feili and Angie were very happy to help the doctor. They readily agreed and asked the doctor to inject a medicine into them. They said it was a new drug the doctor was developing, but it was not harmful to the body. Otherwise, they would not have been allowed to try it.
.
Moreover, this medicine is mainly effective on monster hybrids, and it is said to be able to cure my sister's disease.
But... after being injected with the medicine, they fell into coma.
When he got up again, his hands and feet had been cut off.
The originally kind doctor became crazy, like a madman, and secretly told her the truth.
It turns out that Dr. Agref is their biological father.
It turned out that he was the one who killed his mother.
It was not a coincidence that they lived so well before. It was arranged by the doctor. Because the doctor wanted to become a real 'noble', even if he was not recognized by the family, he felt that he should be a noble. He had the Walder family in him.
blood!
But it is impossible for him to really seek the blood of the Walder family to purify himself, that is to seek death!
To be continued...
