Chapter 582: Chapter 14 That’s Pretty Nauseating

With Ivan reluctantly making his vow, Li Yu also used his phone to record his words, and then played it back to him on the spot.

Ivan was shocked and gained a whole new understanding of the divine power of Saturday, his heart filling with even greater reverence.

Afterward, Li Yu accompanied Yimer to the lakeside again and reinserted the Water Purification Gem that had been stealthily removed back into the lake.

Then he used his body to block the view of Ivan and the others as he quickly poured the contents of a small plastic bottle into Yimer’s mouth.

So the next moment, everyone saw Yimer’s complexion change drastically as she vomited out loud.

The girl almost vomited out all her stomach acid before she could wobbly stand up straight.

The man in the black and white mask immediately rushed over and supported the pale Yimer.

Ivan was also secretly alarmed, realizing that what Prophet Merlin had said was true; purification indeed required a significant amount of life energy, and he didn’t know how much longer his niece could live.

So Ivan also went over, pretending to comfort her with a few words and even ordered a lavish lunch to nourish Yimer.

However, the girl declined, saying she was feeling uncomfortable and just wanted to have a good sleep.

Therefore, Ivan had her escorted back to the castle first.

On the way back, Ge Lipeng quietly approached Li Yu, curious, "Prophet Merlin, I know how the wind and water sounds were made, but how did you make that child vomit just now?"

"I gave her a bottle of herbal recovery solution," Li Yu did not hide the fact.

"Oh, that stuff is indeed quite emetic," Ge Lipeng suddenly realized.

Seeing the two of them talking, Zhu Zhigang also came up and whispered, "Do you need me to kill that guy?"

"Who? Oh, you mean Ivan? Better not, after all, he is the lord of this place," Li Yu said, "Killing him would cause too much commotion. Just fly back here in three days and take the Holy Stone from the lake when no one’s around."

"Without the Holy Stone, this lake will quickly turn into a stinking pool again."

Li Yu was not clear on the specific workings of the Water Purification Gem, but the product description was very detailed; no matter how polluted the water source, placing this gemstone within it would clear and sweeten it in just one day.

However, this change wasn’t permanent; once the gemstone was removed, the water source would quickly return to its original polluted state, even if there were no new sources of contamination.

So it was impossible to purify the rivers and lakes of Bratis merely with a single gemstone.

At most, Li Yu could use the Water Purification Gem to provide Green Field’s believers with tap water ahead of time, but they would have to fetch it themselves with buckets.

On the second day, Ivan sent someone to check Red Leaf Lake again, only to discover that the lake had indeed miraculously become clear, just as Li Yu had said.

Although there were no fish in it, a breeze over the lake would create a sparkling ripple, and there was no odor anymore.

Garrison even caught a farmer nearby and forced him to drink the lake water, then observed him for an entire afternoon, confirming he was still bouncing with life, before he returned to the castle to report to Ivan.

Then Ivan also went to the lake shore, hoping to find some "evidence" to prove that the purification wasn’t perfect so he could detain Shelly and Yimer again.

But after searching for a long time, he couldn’t find anything because the current state of Red Leaf Lake was too clean, even cleaner than before the curse.

Looking at Ireya’s group, they were originally going to the Royal Capital to participate in the martial competition — each of them clad in armor and girded with treasured swords, looking tall and mighty. Add to this the nearly twenty thousand civilians following them.

Simply arming these civilians might not make a significant impact in a frontal battlefield, but they could be useful in sieging a castle. Moreover, Ireya herself was the newly crowned champion of this martial competition.

For Ivan, a minor lord, to clash with this group was nothing short of courting death.

So, even with a myriad of reluctances and having already made a vow, Ivan could only keep his promise and released Shelly to Yimer to leave.

Not only that, but he also hosted a farewell banquet for the two that evening, which Yimer was quite keen to attend.

However, considering her still amateurish acting skills, Ireya decided to have her continue feigning illness in her room. The next morning, everyone left the castle and continued on their journey home.

Two days later, Zhu Zhigang quietly left the group, and after half a day, he rejoined as quietly as he had left — as if nothing had happened.

It wasn’t until Li Yu returned that he gave the Water Purification Gem back to him.

By the time Ivan discovered the deception, it was too late. The group had already left his territory, and Li Yu was not worried that he would send troops after them.

Should Ivan have had the audacity, Li Yu would have been happy to escort him to meet the Earth Bear and Moen.

At this point, with their vast number of soldiers and commanders, and without the advantage of home terrain, Ivan had no chance of winning.

The greedy lord was clearly aware of this as well, so he made no further moves, seemingly resigned to swallowing this bitter pill in silence.

And from this test, the Water Purification Gem indeed lived up to its three-star rating and the 4200 faith points that Li Yu had spent on it.

The severe pollution in Red Leaf Lake was completely purified by it, an effect that even surpassed many complex modern technological methods.

Li Yu was quite satisfied with it.

Meanwhile, Duren finally reunited with his wife and daughter. After much hardship, the three of them acknowledged each other again and couldn’t help but burst into tears.

Li Yu did not disturb them, knowing that given Duren’s character, he would definitely be committed to him and the Double Rest Sect after this incident and would never betray Saturday again.

Half a month later, the group returned to Wild’s territory, the fertile corner.

Grey Mane hosted a three-day and three-night banquet in the city to celebrate Li Yu for removing the curse known as syphilis from his daughter and other townspeople.

Helbert, as a priest of the Earth and Grain Church, felt quite uncomfortable watching this unfold.

He barely slept during these three days because, after spending time together and owing the favor of curse removal, Wild was obviously growing very close to Li Yu.

Helbert worried that the City Lord of the fertile corner would be bewitched by those heathens and fully embrace what was called Saturday.

Fortunately, although Grey Mane usually seemed hot-tempered, he was able to discern importance at critical moments; he also knew that most people in the city were loyal followers of Julius.

If Wild acted rashly, these people would undoubtedly oppose him.

But before the worried priest could breathe a sigh of relief, he then heard Wild announce his decision to send his only granddaughter, Donia — the future heir to the fertile corner — to study with Li Yu, becoming his guardian and student.
