Chapter 586: Chapter 123: A Crafty Old Man and A Cunning Young One_5

"I originally thought you were very eager for power, very fond of fighting, and really just a brute. I didn’t expect that you, the bundle of straw, could actually take advice. Not bad, you’ve started growing on me, kid. Many years ago, I said the same thing to a Beamon, his reaction and expression were exactly the same as yours." The old man chuckled as he puffed a cigar.

"It’s Lord Mourinho, isn’t it?" Liu Zhenhan guessed who the old man was talking about without a doubt.

"Understanding is one thing, whether or not you stick to this belief in the future is another. Many of the strong avoid the hustle and bustle of the world, fearing that the vibrant world will cloud their spirit." Master Puskas smiled.

"If magic is not used for destructive purposes but for the welfare of the people as you say, will the world change? No! Wars will still continue. Even without magic, a sword can still kill. If there’s any real cancer in this world, it must be us intelligent beings with desires and ambitions, right? Without us, this world might actually be peaceful, filled with birdsong, blossoms, peace, and harmony." Liu Zhenhan laughed and patted the old man’s shoulder: "Master, you’re overthinking."

"Brute! You’re definitely a brute!" The old man laughed too: "No wonder you dare to provoke the Holy Council, and defeat three Dragon Knights! Do you realize the trouble you’ve caused? There’s absolutely no benefit in it, why would you do such a foolish thing?"

"In the past, I was like what you said, always calculating the potential benefits first, leading a hard and tiresome life." Liu Zhenhan laughed: "But now, I have a clear mind. What if I defeat all heroes in the world? There are so many warriors in the Aegean Continent, there must be a number one, right? Why can’t that be me?"

"Idiot!" Master Puskas felt he had just wasted his breath explaining: "True warriors bear the weight of the world, know how to give and take, and certainly don’t fight at the drop of a hat as you do."

"Looking after the people around them is what makes real warriors." Liu Zhenhan sneered.

"Nothing more to say to you, I’m afraid." Master Puskas kept shaking his head, his face displaying utter disappointment.

"Let’s cut to the chase, could you do me a favor? I need to arrange for a "Holy Purification" and a "Holy Restoration". You’ve got some influence in the Holy Vatican, so I believe it shouldn’t be a problem. You must help me, I mean, I’ve been taking care of your daughter!" Liu Zhenhan, fearing the old man’s refusal, brought up his big ask:

"I can handle the "Holy Purification", but the "Holy Restoration" is tricky. Only someone of the level of a Cardinal would be competent to perform it. Cardinal Dorott, whom you humiliated in public, and whose two knights you defeated, how do you have the nerve to ask this of me?" Master Puskas finally caught on: "Ah, that electricity-and-water dual-mage girl probably has two souls in her body, no wonder she can multitask."

"So even with your influence, it’s not possible?" Liu Zhenhan was still not ready to give up. If he didn’t get this sorted out, he would have to go to the Elves and Demon Clan again, which would be a real hassle.

"The Vatican Mage group under my charge is just reinforcing the Sealing Barriers of the space-time rifts. Every ten thousand years, the rift goes through a massive geyser phase; in these ten or so years, the Vatican mages, including myself, have been busied with strengthening the barriers. We have no time to deal with the important figures." The old man threw up his hands: "If the Sealing Barrier were to collapse and the Demons came leaping out of the space-time rifts scattered across the Aegean Continent, what would we do?"

"Then quickly help me with the "Holy Purification", I’ll find other ways to deal with the "Holy Restoration" Liu Zhenhan had no choice but to make do.

"That’s manageable, but first tell me, why do you need the "Holy Purification"? What negative effects have you suffered?" Master Puskas’s eyes shifted: "By rights, the negative effects from your evil aura should be time-limited. Has someone invented a permanent corruption war song?"

Liu Zhenhan felt a bit dejected recounting his full history with Fei Wenli’s Python Bile to the old man, and carefully explained the function of the clotting enzyme as well.

"The effect of the body fluid that you secrete is not that different from the "Blood Clotting Technique"!" After hearing Piegel’s story, Master Puskas grimaced.

"What’s the "Blood Clotting Technique"? Is it magic?"

"It’s a branch of Undead Magic, Blood Magic, specific to the Blood Elves." Master Puskas frowned: "The deviated Elves typically gain some unique magical abilities; the ones the Blood Elves have access to are Blood Magic. The so-called "Blood Clotting Technique" is one of their high-level spells. If you get hit by this spell, within an hour, your body’s blood will clot and solidify as if it were paste. If it’s cast by a high-ranking blood elf, you’ll solidify into a statue as a result of blood clotting within just ten minutes."

"That does sound familiar." Liu Zhenhan found it a bit creepy even just hearing about it.

"In that case, "Holy Purification" would be the best solution for your pain."
