Chapter 7

In fact, Tang En never expected that the highly effective life potion would be so valuable in this world. After all, in the game, this stuff was so common that it was often left on the ground without anyone bothering to pick it up. Who would have thought it would be so precious in the real world?

The residents of Ellington were initially just grateful to Tang En, the alchemist who came to their aid. However, when Fiona mentioned that he had used such a precious treasure to treat them, they were all moved to tears, and if Tang En hadn't stopped them, they would have knelt down in gratitude.

The private soldiers who were monitoring Tang En and Fiona heard Fiona's words and their eyes sparkled with greed. They exchanged glances and immediately one of them went back to report the news.

However, Fiona still couldn't persuade Tang En.

"Since you insist on using it, then let me handle it!"

In the end, Fiona could only compromise and said through gritted teeth, "This is such a waste!"

"Waste?"

"They are ordinary people, not Awakened. A little bit of the Blood of the Goddess would have been enough to heal them! Giving them a mouthful is a waste!"

Fiona snatched the highly effective life potion from Tang En's hand and said irritably, "Miss Elsa, could you please get me some water?"

"Water? Sure!"

Elsa quickly returned, holding a large wooden bucket with both hands, filled with water, and placed it in front of Fiona. Elsa asked, "Is this enough? If not, I can get more."

"Enough, enough..."

Fiona's lips twitched, and her eyes widened. Elsa was only 16 years old, and she didn't seem to be an Awakened, yet how could she be so strong!?

Fiona opened the highly effective life potion and poured about one-fifth of it into the wooden bucket. Just one-fifth of the potion turned the large bucket of water into a bright red, and it emitted a faint fragrance.

"Divide this potion among them, one mouthful per person is enough."

After Fiona gave the order, the militiamen led by Elsa quickly took action.

Although the potion was diluted several hundred times, as Fiona said, it was enough for these ordinary people. The injured who drank the potion quickly recovered.

After they recovered, these people were naturally very grateful to Tang En and Fiona. Tang En didn't feel anything special and smiled happily, but Fiona, despite her smile, was inwardly complaining about the waste.

Waste, it was such a waste.

While treating the injured, Elsa led the remaining people to clean up the battlefield. Although Ellington was in chaos due to the bandits, life had to go on after the bandits were driven away.

"Is this guy the one called Lake?"

Elsa poked the dead body of Lake, who had died with his eyes open, showing no fear at all—she had seen death too many times.

Elsa pulled out the longsword from Lake's body and dragged the corpse toward the carriage. These bodies were to be burned outside the town.

"Clank."

Elsa noticed a necklace that had fallen from Lake's body. The necklace was set with a small blue gem, which looked quite beautiful.

She was a normal girl who loved bright jewels and was very fond of the necklace. However, after thinking for a moment, she picked up the necklace and walked over to Tang En.

"Tang En," Elsa called out cheerfully, "This is a piece of loot found on Lake, it's yours."

"Oh?"

Tang En took the necklace and examined it, sensing the magical energy. It was a Glowing-level magical necklace.

"I'll give it to you."

Tang En casually handed the necklace back to Elsa, "Wear it. It's a Glowing-level magical necklace that can enhance the wearer's strength."

"Magical equipment!?"

Elsa said in a flustered manner, "No, no! You've done so much for Ellington, and we can't repay you. Since it's magical equipment, you should keep it!"

Tang En, of course, didn't care about a mere Glowing-level magical item and smiled faintly, "Have you forgotten who I am? I'm an alchemist. Do you think I lack magical equipment?"

Elsa was taken aback.

"Oh, right, and that longsword."

Tang En pointed to the longsword in Elsa's hand, "This longsword is a Glowing-level magical weapon with the Sharp attribute, which is very useful. It enhances damage against armor and increases the chance of penetration. You should keep it."

"Okay!"

Elsa was overjoyed. She was just a militiaman in Ellington and had only heard about magical equipment and weapons; she had never had the chance to touch one. Now, not only did she touch one, but she received two magical items!

She almost fainted from happiness.

Although Fiona wasn't an Awakened, she knew how valuable magical equipment was. Seeing Tang En give away two magical items so casually, she felt a deep frustration.

Wasteful! So wasteful!

That was magical equipment!

How could you just give it away!?

Using the Blood of the Goddess to treat commoners for free and giving away magical equipment, do you really think you're a god come to enlighten the world!?

"What do you plan to do with these bodies?"

Tang En asked casually, knowing that if the bodies weren't handled properly, an epidemic could break out.

"Take them outside the town and burn them. This is a decree from the Church of Light, to prevent necromancers from desecrating the bodies."

"Alright, that's good."

Tang En nodded, having forgotten about this. Due to necromancers, many places in Plandar had implemented cremation, making life harder for necromancers.

At the lord's residence.

"What did you say!?"

Hog suddenly stood up, the fat on his face trembling. He had never lost his composure before.

"My lord, the noble lady said it was the Blood of the Goddess, and we saw the commoners drink the potion and instantly recover. It was a miraculous effect!"

"Actually, it's the Blood of the Goddess..."

Hog's face was filled with greed. He rolled his eyes and said, "Pass the order, I want to invite them to a banquet."

The private soldier was taken aback, "My lord?"

"When they come to the banquet, you will do this..."

Hog whispered a few words, and the private soldier immediately understood, grinning, "My lord is wise. Rest assured, we will handle this well."

"Good, do your best!"

Hog patted his shoulder in satisfaction, "If you do well, I'll give each of you ten gold coins."

"Thank you, my lord!"

The private soldier was very excited and immediately went to make arrangements.

At the same time, outside Ellington.

Thick smoke rose, and the air was filled with a pungent smell, especially the smell of burning human flesh, which made Elsa's face look terrible.

"This is the last batch."

Ronnie clapped his hands and approached Elsa, "Elsa, do you want to train together tonight?"

"Not interested. Ilyas was scared today, and I'll go to be with her tonight."

Elsa snorted, Ronnie's performance today was so poor that it disappointed her greatly.

At this moment, Elsa noticed a carriage approaching from a distance, and she was surprised.

Ronnie quickly said, "Elsa, Uncle Aberton is back. Let's go to greet him."

Elsa left Ronnie and ran to meet the carriage.

Aberton, on the carriage, frowned at the black smoke. When he saw the running girl, he smiled, but his smile froze as he saw her speed increasing.

Aberton's face changed, and he jumped off the carriage to meet her.

Seeing her father running over, Elsa gradually slowed down. When her father reached her, she tearfully threw herself into his arms, "Daddy!"

The immense strength made Aberton gasp for air, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead, but he had to force a smile, "Elsa, what happened in the town?"

Elsa let go of Aberton and said angrily, "The bandits came again! Many people died in the town!"

Aberton's face turned cold, "Is that so? That guy seems to be eager to die..."

"It's all that fool Hog's fault. If he hadn't stopped us from acting, fewer people would have died!"

Aberton knew that Elsa's resentment toward Hog had been building for a long time. He patted Elsa's head and said, "The dead cannot be brought back to life. All we can do is take care of their families."

"Okay, but Dad, this time we were saved by a big brother. He saved many people, including Ilyas!"

Elsa said happily, "If it weren't for him, many more people would have died. He not only killed the bandits but also used a potion to treat the uncles and aunts. Sister Fiona said the potion is called the Blood of the Goddess and is very precious."

"Fiona? The Blood of the Goddess!?"

Aberton's face changed, and he said in shock, "How could someone use such a precious thing to treat commoners?"

"That's what Sister Fiona said about Brother Tang En, but Brother Tang En didn't seem to care."

Elsa didn't fully understand, but she was happy that so many people were saved.

"Tang En? You said the person who killed the bandits and saved people is called Tang En?"

Aberton was stunned.

"Yes."

Elsa nodded, "Do you know him, Dad?"

"I don't know him, but I've heard of him, and I'm afraid we will all get to know him soon."

Aberton had a deep expression, patted Elsa's head, and said, "Your mother misses you. Go to her. When you get back, bring me to meet Mr. Tang En."

"Okay!"

Elsa happily ran into the carriage and started chatting with her mother, while Aberton led the horse and slowly walked toward Ellington.

"Uncle Aberton! You and Aunt are finally back."

Ronnie ran over to get close, "I feel my sword skills have improved recently. I want to ask Uncle Aberton for some guidance."

"We'll talk about it later."

Aberton waved his hand. He was thinking about something important and had no time to chat with Ronnie.

Ronnie smiled awkwardly, took a few steps back, and watched as Aberton and the carriage entered the town, then he muttered with a frown, "To look down on me, you'll regret it one day!"
