Chapter 288: Chapter 281: Eat It, Then Become a God

"What source?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Mr. Deliveryman, do you know of the Tommer civilization?"

Amelia said.

"I’ve heard a bit, seems like some kind of lost ancient civilization. Carcarens Academy and you guys went around digging up their ancestral graves, got your hands on quite a few things."

He said.

"...We prefer to call it exploring ancient ruins."

Amelia was choked up for a moment.

"Whatever, what then?"

"According to our exploration and research, the Tommer civilization had once developed to an extremely advanced level, whether it was in technology, culture, medical science, or mysticism, they were far beyond the humans of today."

"However, this splendid civilization, during its most prosperous times, due to a sudden catastrophe, collapsed completely at a rapid pace."

Amelia continued.

"Due to Beastification Disease?"

Liu Zheng teased.

"Exactly. Although we have not yet thoroughly researched the mechanism of the Beastification Disease, the Beastification Disease in Old Yate is indeed a continuation of that of the Tommer civilization."

Amelia nodded gently.

"Hold on, when did the Beastification Disease start to spread in Old Yate?"

He asked.

"Over forty years ago."

Amelia replied.

"And when did Carcarens Academy start exploring the Tommer ruins?"

The Blood Healing Church split from Carcarens Academy, so their exploration started later than the academy’s.

"About fifty years ago."

"Heh."

Liu Zheng sneered.

"The Beastification Disease in Old Yate wouldn’t just happen to be what you guys dug up from their graves, bringing out all that filthy stuff, would it?"

Spread the virus first, then use a new virus to cure it, and then use it to seize power, the Blood Healing Church sure knows how to calculate.

This level of ruthlessness is no less than any regime in history.

"No, before Carcarens Academy explored the Tommer ruins, Yate people already had the tradition of going inside to explore; ah, I mean, seek adventure. Carcarens Academy’s explorations, by comparison, were more efficient and standardized."

Amelia, naturally knowing what he was thinking, shook her head.

"Efficient and standardized means that your explorations were deeper and more comprehensive, right?"

Liu Zheng was unmoved by her explanation.

"Yes, I can’t deny that Carcarens Academy’s explorations accelerated the spread of the Beastification Disease."

Amelia finally admitted, sighing softly.

"You’re not very good at this, Old A, to have been Grand Patriarch for so many years and still have such thin skin."

He spoke in the tone of an old acquaintance.

"If it was me, I’d never admit it. I’d just say it was those Yate people who screwed up and brought it out on their own."

Liu Zheng said boldly.

"I was never really suited to be Grand Patriarch in the first place, I just took the position to fulfill my mentor’s last wishes."

Amelia said calmly.

"However, you seem quite suitable for it. Are you interested in becoming my successor, Mr. Deliveryman?"

She seemed to smile a bit.

"Although Yate is a small place, the dual identity of Grand Patriarch of the Blood Healing Church and Chief Hunter should still be somewhat attractive."

"Plus, part-time is also an option, as long as you come back regularly to inspect and guide the work of the Church."

Amelia said in a tempting tone.

"Forget it, I’m just running my mouth."

If he really were some outsider, he might actually be tempted.

Even with the constraints of Metropolis and Bloody Restaurant, he could just apply for an outing every now and then.

Too bad he’s a player; he wouldn’t even stay in Metropolis anymore, let alone Yate.

"It seems Mr. Deliveryman truly has a deep love for his homeland."

Amelia mused.

"Actually... forget it, you can think what you like."

Liu Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

After all, Metropolis wasn’t his hometown either, so Amelia wasn’t wrong in what she said.

"We’re done with the small talk; let’s discuss the delivery."

He said.

"Of course. Please wait a moment."

Amelia raised her hand and made a gesture.

Liu Zheng felt the gaze that had been fixed on him disappear.

During the wait, he took out the Blood Gem he had extracted from Dickens’s body to examine it.

"Name: Super-Large Radial Blood Gem (One-time use)"

"Type: Item/Miscellaneous"

"Quality: Fine"

"Effect one: Direct use can restore one’s ’Blood Quality’."

"Effect two: When inlaid in a weapon, it can provide additional effects."

"Note: Did I do something wrong? Teacher Albert."

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"Super-Large? Is there a Giant and Super-Giant type above that?"

Liu Zheng thought with a bizarre expression.

"Is this from that beast, from Dickens?"

Amelia seemed to sense the aura of the Blood Gem.

"That’s right."

He admitted frankly.

"He went too far."

Feeling the deep and cold-blooded taste, Amelia sighed.

Then, she covertly glanced at her palm.

Hadn’t she also walked a far path?

If it weren’t for the power of the Holy Blood, how could Amelia still maintain a youthful appearance and energy in her advanced age?

"So, what is the price, Tutor Dickens?"

She spoke in a voice as faint as a mosquito’s.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing."

Amelia shook her head.

"Although I don’t know what that beast has to do with you, this is my trophy, and also a necessary item on the procurement list, so it’s not possible to give it to you."

Liu Zheng said.

"Of course, this is all part of the transaction."

Amelia nodded, and then fell silent.

After a while, the doors of the main sanctuary were pushed open.

A person clad in a grey robe came in, carrying a box.

"Great Archbishop Amelia, the item you requested has been delivered."

He said.

"Thank you for your trouble."

Amelia nodded in response.

The robed person bowed, then backed out of the hall and closed the doors.

Liu Zheng opened the box; inside were three Holy Grails.

He picked up the Holy Grails, and the item descriptions immediately popped up.

They were named "Tommer Central Holy Grail," "Tommer Lower Holy Grail," and "Weakened Rum City Holy Grail."

"What about the other items?"

Liu Zheng asked, putting away the Holy Grails.

"The Blood Gem is at the Church Workshop, and I have already sent someone to notify them; you can go directly to collect it. Master Beethoven should also be there waiting for you."

"As for the Divine Son’s Umbilical Cord..."

Amelia paused.

"That is a very dangerous item; are you sure you want to take it?"

"Trust me, I’ve seen things far more dangerous than that."

Liu Zheng said calmly.

What could be more dangerous than Hell’s Game?

"Well then, since you insist. I hope you won’t be lured by the unimaginable knowledge and the future."

Amelia pressed the mechanism again, and the platform that previously held the skull descended, while another rose up.

On the silvery-white silk cloth lay an odd thing.

It looked like the fossil of some species of mollusk, covered with holes but also possessing the texture of living tissue.

"Eat it, and you will become a god."

A voice suddenly appeared in Liu Zheng’s ears.
