“Oi! Wake the hell up and answer me. What did the elixir do for you?”
“I-I’m sorry, I can’t remember. But the elixir is the greatest thing that ever happened to our people!”
The woman was struggling as there was a contradiction in her mind. She did not have any memory of what the elixir did, but she also wanted to help Han as much as possible! She was suffering as she struggled to try and come up with a solution. Han decided that it would be best to just release them all, if he leaves her like this for longer, then she might suffer permanent mental damage. So he just asked one more question.
“How long have you all been here?”
“This year will be the 1024th since our ancestors came here.”
Holy shit. That long? No matter how Han looked at it, this all seemed very suspicious. Han didn’t have any more questions for the woman so he just released her and allowed the guild house to become rowdy again! Everyone was just acting as though nothing happened and no one even looked at Han.
“Hello, can I help you? Do you want to register as an adventurer?”
Chants like these were echoing everywhere and Han couldn’t help but remember a similar thing that happened a long time ago. That time when he was on earth and Regulus was making a church in the apocalypse. It was very similar to what was happening here. Han chuckled as he remembered the sort of ideals that Regulus held! That man was completely insane but he was still someone that Han held in high regard! He was doing everything just for the chance to gain the creator’s favor. If only Regulus knew how small he was when compared to the sort of people that the creator was interested in, I’m sure the creator didn’t even know Regulus existed. But still, it was admirable in a way! It is not common to find someone with such tenacity! I wonder if this woman is the same?
The woman finally finished her talk and she told some of the residents to pass around the elixir for all. The woman smiled as she saw the happy faces that the people were showing. All of them were clambering to be the first to receive the elixir and she told them to calm down. It’s not like they wouldn’t get one. She brought enough for everyone!
The elixir was in some sort of opaque glass bottle so Han couldn’t see through it with his normal sight. Han immediately activated his eye skill and looked through the bottle to see a black liquid that was sloshing around! Han grimaced as he calmly collected the bottle that one of the women passed to him.
Han knew this was not an elixir that would do something good. Han didn’t know the properties of the elixir but it didn’t look like it did anything good! Han watched the other people around him chug it down like water and he waited to see what would happen. All of them released a collective sigh of happiness before they all grew glass-eyed and stopped moving at once!
Oh yeah, this is definitely a drug. Han immediately threw the bottle behind him. He knew that even if he drank the elixir it wouldn’t affect him because of his [Poison Immunity] but there is no way he would drink that black shit. It looked like it would destroy the insides of his body just from the color alone.
The priestess was excited as she looked around at all her puppets. It is good that they were still this easy to control. Now she can just take anyone she wants. She didn’t notice that Han was standing on his own and he wasn’t under her control as she pointed at three people and made them come forward. The woman’s head suddenly changed into a monster head that looked like a grotesque salamander. She opened her mouth wide and started to suck out something from the three men in front of her!
“Holy Shit!! What then hell is that!?”
Han couldn’t help it! This was just too disgusting! He intended to just silently watch to the end but what sort of bullshit is this!? Is she swallowing their life force or something!? Oh, god! I think I’m going to be sick.
The woman immediately turned to Han with surprise on her face. Why is this man still awake!? I thought everyone took the elixir!
“W-Why are you awake!? Didn’t you take the elixir!?”
“Of course not! Why the fuck would I drink that shit!? And please change your head back! This shit is freaky!”
