The tall man's impact caused Noita to retreat backwards and hit the wall, his feet feeling numb. The charging vampire flew back with its axe at an even faster speed and fell to the ground, his life or death unknown.

Several bladeless daggers shot towards Noita's eyes. Obviously, when the tall man was charging, the thin man was not just watching. She was coordinating with her companion's attack and waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Even though they thought Noita was a sure thing, they did not hesitate to use their numbers to bully the weak and launch a sneak attack.

But Noita's stats are too high.

The normal output of half a ton of force from a single arm is enough to make any first-level combat professional suffer.

The tall guy lost so quickly that even if the thin guy realized the danger, he didn't have time to make any changes.

The dagger struck, and Noita blocked it with her hand, letting the blade pierce her palm. She twisted her hand, using her clothes as a cushion, wrapped the steel wire around it, and with a tug-of-war-like pull and swing, she immediately pulled the attacker out of the shadows and slammed him to the ground. The attacker's finger was dislocated.

[A fierce poison has flowed into your blood, and the poison of the drowning leaf is trying to infect you.]

The news in the log made Noita chuckle.

It is really morally questionable to smear poison made from drowned leaves on a dagger.

However, the perfect body will reject any component that is subjectively regarded as a foreign body. In other words, the perfect body will not be affected by toxins for a long time.

Noita grabbed the thin woman by the back of her collar and dragged her to the tall man.

"Come on, friends, let's talk. Who told you to follow me, and how did you know the location of the file?"

This is a really good question worth exploring.

Before his death, Flea swore that the place where he hid the documents was kept absolutely confidential and no one knew about it. But when she went to pick up the documents, someone followed her. Was Flea lying or was there something else going on?

This is something that Noita must dig deeper into.

The two vampires seemed to have lost their tongues and didn't say a word.

Noita peeled off the tall man's visor, revealing a hideously deformed face, as if burnt away by fire: no hair, eyebrows, or beard. It was also devoid of muscle, merely a wrinkled layer of skin clinging to the bones, a sinister sight as if a fire smoldered within its skull. Stripping away the armor, he saw a body similarly devoid of muscle. Flesh tentacles sprouted from within the armor, tightly connected to its limbs. These fleshy creatures were ever-changing and as voracious as leeches, stirring eagerly at the scent of strangers, even attempting to pinch Noita's fingers.

This is a cursed blood servant, and all its movements are maintained by this armor.

"You frighten me, slave."

The attack on his appearance made the tall man's eyes more ferocious, which made Noita laugh even more happily.

"Can you kill me with your eyes? If you can, you can try it, but don't forget your first words, 'Let me die as painfully as possible'. I still remember it." Noita picked up the handleless dagger and scratched the wall twice, leaving a mark easily.

Its sharpness pleased Noita.

"I know a little bit about mummification. Let your companion demonstrate the creation of a mummy for you."

Noita leaned down, ready to gouge out the thin man's eyes.

"and many more!!!"

The shrill scream made Noita stop. She stared at the thin man unhappily, demanding an explanation.

The thin man said miserably: "Why do you only ask him and not me? I didn't say it or not!"

Chapter 36: Compassion and Rescue, Wonderful Joy from the Same Source

"is it?"

Noita raised an eyebrow, casually cut a piece of wood into a stake and stabbed it into the tall man's heart, killing him instantly.

A stake driven into a vampire's heart instantly kills the monster, but unless its body is destroyed, it will resurrect when the stake is removed.

Noita cut out another wooden stake and held it in his hand, then sat opposite the thin man. "Well, let's talk."

The appearance of vampires made Noita's temper flare up. Her hostility towards vampires did not arise out of thin air, but was a long-standing grudge.

In the game, Noita's faction and the vampires have always been enemies, and fighting each other is commonplace. She has little knowledge of human torture techniques, but when it comes to torturing vampires, she can talk about it for days and nights. Mummification is a modified method of torturing fellow dark creatures.

However, at the beginning, despite the bad relationship between the two forces, the player was not without vampire friends. The player once had a vampire named Bai Yueguang in Lengyuan, who was very popular. However, due to some special traditions of killing each other, Bai Yueguang was extinguished.

The past has turned to ashes, but after seeing the vampire, the memories are like stranded fish, jumping conspicuously, making Noita's bad mood soar.

Suppressing his murderous intent, Noita asked, "First question, where is your spellcaster?"

The tall and thin ones have no spellcasting ability, they are just servants of the spellcaster.

"The master is not here. The previous spells were cast by the master using our bodies. He is..."

The thin man stared in horror, holding his head in his hands and trembling, "I don't remember where the master is! The master took away my memory."

"Why are you following me?"

"do not know."

"Where are you from?"

"..."

The thin man suddenly fell silent, as stiff as a puppet.

After a moment, the thin man suddenly smiled, as if wearing a mask, maintaining a gentle smile. "...You can't ask me. I used magic to extract this memory a long time ago. They only remember wanting to kill you, not why."

The skinny guy is a different person on the inside.

Noita immediately pressed the stake against the thin man's left chest and demanded, "Are you her master?"

Since one can use the blood servant's body to cast spells from a distance, it is not impossible to occupy the blood servant's body.

The thin man sat up unconcerned, letting the tip of the wooden spike pierce his chest skin: "Yes, I am Elder, the second son of the Jasmine family. Greetings to you. I wonder what your intention is in bullying these two poor servants of mine?"

Ignoring the elderberry's lack of nutritional value, Noita scoffed, "What? You're not hiding in the stinking ditch to avoid the sun anymore? If you want to die in front of me, I'll be there for you any time."

"Your Excellency has a strong temper, which must be due to kidney deficiency. The star of death is shining, and your fate is doomed to fall to the East City. You will suffer a bloody disaster soon." The thin man retorted in a gloomy tone, "But I see that your Excellency has excellent talent and qualities, a rare gem. I am willing to provide you with a way out."

"put."

"Become my blood servant, and no one will hold you accountable for knowing things you shouldn't know. I will grant you wealth and status you could never obtain in three lifetimes."

"I don't remember vampires dreaming."

Wishful thinking, seeking death.

Noita didn't want to waste time with this guy, so he used his right hand to force the stake into his heart.

"Wait a minute, don't you want to know where I come from? What secrets are behind the documents?"

Elder was surprised by Noita's low patience. He wanted to talk to Noita again, but Noita didn't give him much time: "I'll give you ten seconds. Tell me the whole story."

"We come from Lengyuan, a vast and powerful dark kingdom. Lengyuan's strength far exceeds that of the Dark Moon Land, and I am a vampire with the noble blood of Jasmine."

Elder used all his sweet words to boast about the power and wealth of Lengyuan, saying that gold and treasures were everywhere, and that its overall strength was comparable to that of the Holy Empire, with two heroes in one place.

Noita was indifferent: "I know, and then what?"

Elderberry asked suspiciously, "Aren't you tempted?"

This question almost made Noita laugh out loud.

Lengyuan, a shabby place where even dogs don't go. When Noita becomes a legend, the first thing he will do is to scatter the ashes of the Dark Prince.

The stake pierced the skinny guy's heart, causing Elderberry to immediately shut up and straighten up!

Noita dragged the tall man and the thin man together, wondering where to get some holy water for them to taste so that they could bathe in the glory of God, but when she thought of a second-level wizard who was eyeing them covetously, she felt that she could not just leave them there.

After a moment's thought, Noita dragged the two of them to a church of the Mercy and Relief Society, which had a wide following and several small churches in Serkar.

Each cathedral reserves a certain amount of holy water, and these consecrated sacred liquids can cause serious damage to undead creatures.

When the priest opened the door and saw Noita, his face suddenly turned from rosy to pale, and he looked at the two bodies in shock.

Noita pushed the priest aside and asked him to get out of the way. When she dragged the two vampires into the church, the priest's face turned dark again, as if he was an unparalleled strong man who was about to use the power of magnetic field.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Noita patiently explained to the priest that the two were vampires, and pulled out a wooden stake to show the scene of vampire resurrection to dispel the priest's suspicion and prevent her from being misunderstood as a murderer.

The priest brought holy water, and Noita slit the vampires' throats and poured it into their throats.

The holy water flowed through the coagulated blood and quickly flowed through the vampire's body. During this process, the vampire's body melted and eventually turned into black ash on the ground, leaving only clothes and other personal belongings.

[… Gained 1,200 experience points.]

The priest of Miaoletian chanted the liberation sutra for the death of the vampires, while Noita searched for their magic props in the black ashes.

Her careless rummaging made the pastor feel complicated. He brought two urns and came to Noita, saying solemnly, "They should be buried in peace."

Noita stopped searching and let the priest collect the vampire's bones.

The Compassionate Rescue Society is a group of followers of the Myoga Heaven. Alleviating suffering is the core of the Compassionate Rescue Society, and their mission is to save the innocent. Splitting from the dawn of life, they have grown and expanded over millennia, ultimately achieving global success and can be found throughout Gaia.

Later, the pastor buried the urn in the backyard cemetery.

At this time, Noita had not left yet, so he sat down not far from Noita: "Friend, I would like to take up a moment of your time and introduce you to our..."

"I've heard of it, but I'm not interested. Can I stay for one night?"

"Yes, yes, but..."

"I have faith and I am determined to pursue my dreams."

The pastor explained calmly, "It's okay. The Tao doesn't reject anyone. The mirror and the cup don't conflict. We don't require you to recite scriptures or worship the Lord. Just listen to the concept and let it leave an impression. If you agree with the concept and provide assistance, that's a good deed. If you don't agree, we hope it can provide a small amount of help if you go astray."

The dusk was deep and the fog was thick, and there was still a long time before dawn.

The logs show that covert observation still exists, which prevents Noita from easily going to Gate City.

She looked up and saw a black bat hanging upside down outside the window. It was the elder tree's incarnation, staring at her coldly, but it did not dare to enter the church.

Churches are organizations formed by different groups' differing interpretations of the Way and the gods. While they do possess great power, resident priests are also professionals. Without such power, it would be impossible to establish a church, nor would it be possible to gain a foothold in a region. While some churches have extended olive branches to vampires, they are generally unwelcome.

Just listen to "Solutions to Difficulties" again, Noita thought.

Chapter 37 Why the Elderberry Broke

"Solutions to Relief" is a missionary book of the Society for the Relief of Disasters. The book uses the stories of the Oracle Singer and the Goddess of Mercy to compile 42 self-help methods and encouragements for different crises.

Noita stayed in the church bored and listened to the priest's classic lectures all night with the bats outside the window.

She had listened to "Solutions to Difficulties" countless times in the game, and in order to obtain advanced equipment in the church, she even memorized the interpretations and standard answers in the forum.

If she were to take a scripture test, her results would not be worse than the pastor in front of her, and might even be better.

Because of this, when she occasionally took over the pastor's words, the pastor's eyes lit up and his expression became more kind, and he almost said, "You are destined to be my disciple."

Unfortunately, until dawn, Noita did not agree to join the church, which made the pastor feel sorry.

The night ended too quickly for the priest, but it was too torturous for Noita and the bats. The priest in this church was too talkative!

When the red sun rose, Noita hurriedly said goodbye to the pastor and walked out.

As the dawn light passed over the eaves, the bats disappeared with the twilight, and the surveillance indicated in the log also dissipated. However, not long after, the surveillance returned and locked onto her firmly.

It's really disgusting.

Noita walked into the light, thinking about how to pull out the elder tree and grind it into ashes.

But first, she had to fill her stomach.

Before reaching the second level and being able to manipulate magic power, part of the consumption of her perfect physique must be maintained by food. If she does not eat enough, she will slowly weaken within a week.

Noita came to a restaurant and ordered five servings of thick soup and fried meat from the owner, and paid gold coins in advance.

Under the charm of the gold coins, neither the boss nor the handyman asked stupid questions like whether Noita could finish it.

Soon, soup, vegetables and bread were served and were devoured in no time.

You feast with relish, yet amidst the deliciousness lies a poison, a seasoning of cold-grown fungi that enhances the hot broth. You are poisoned, the power of death invading your flesh.

The soup was poisoned.

The toxin and the perfect physique clashed in Noita's body, one infecting her flesh while the other dissolves the poison. The confrontation caused intense pain, but it couldn't be transmitted through the nerves to Noita's brain. Only a slight pain reported the location of the battle.

If all the toxins are eliminated, even the pain will disappear.

Noita scanned the crowd and didn't find anyone behaving strangely.

She left the restaurant calmly and walked steadily to a secluded corner. When no one could see her back, she pretended to be unsteady and held onto the wall to avoid falling.

"What do corruption spores taste like?"

Just then, a frivolous voice came from above her head. Noita looked up and saw a small bat dressed in exquisite clothes hanging upside down above her head.

"You seem to think I can't do anything to you after the sun appears, but you need to know that the vampires are the nobility in the shadows. I don't have to do everything myself. I just need to pay a few gold coins, and there are plenty of people willing to help me deal with you."

The bat looked at Noita and saw the pale blue poison marks on her neck. Then he said with satisfaction, "This is a precious poison worth two hundred gold coins. It is my treasured collection. I hope it will bring you a good morning."
