The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 982 Vampire Youth

After agreeing on their respective tasks, Zhao Chen didn't delay any longer. He dressed neatly and went straight to the basement of the villa, intending to first extract the blood sample of the "Soren" family descendant that he had "calculated".

As for the two prerequisite spells for the "Binding Calamity and Suppressing Law Ring" divine power, Zhao Chen was not in a hurry to master them.

Although the sword technique of cutting open the "fruit" and taking out the "Glassy Star Lamp" was basically complete, Zhao Chen did not intend to achieve supernatural powers in this trial world.

Although Su Xuanbing and he were getting closer, she was not Fei Meng after all, and Zhao Chen did not want to "receive the ordination" in front of her for the time being, thus exposing his biggest secret.

It's not that I don't trust her, but rather that I'm unwilling to test human nature.

After all, Su Xuanbing is not alone; she has a family and relatives behind her.

Getting back to the main point, because the information obtained from the "Dongyou Qingjian Jue" was quite detailed, Zhao Chen didn't have much trouble digging out a metal box in a corner of the basement.

The surface of this metal box is covered with numerous runes, which have the functions of "preservation" and "being overlooked," so it's no wonder that Zhao Chen and Su Xuanbing's divine senses failed to detect it before.

Zhao Chen didn't rashly damage the runes on the box. He simply used his "Investigator" ability to sense it and, after confirming that it did indeed contain a test tube of blood, temporarily put the box away.

Then, after greeting Alpha, the head maid he had created, he went out, hailed a carriage, and headed to the south side of the bridge.

The carriage that was rented yesterday was used by Su Xuanbing, who had left earlier to provide information about the demigod witch to the Storm Church.

—The location information of the witch Panatia was naturally provided by Zhao Chen using the "Dongyou Qingjian Jue".

The carriage traveled along King's Road, entering the southern part of the bridge, then turned at an intersection and headed straight for Rose Street.

Having come here once before with the "long-gloved" lady, Zhao Chen recognized the surrounding roads. When he was one intersection away from the Harvest Church, he stopped the carriage and paid the fare.

Instead of approaching the church rashly, Zhao Chen went into a coffee shop on the street, ordered a coffee and two plates of desserts, and slowly extended his divine sense toward the Harvest Church.

The last time he came here, he sensed something terrifying about the church, which is why he didn't go in with Miss "Long Gloves". He certainly wouldn't do that this time either; it would be best if he could wait for the vampire priest to come out on his own.

As Zhao Chen's divine sense entered the interior of the Harvest Church, he discovered that it wasn't very large, consisting of only a prayer hall, seven or eight rooms, and a basement.

However, although his divine sense could easily scan those rooms, it was "blocked" when he approached the basement entrance.

There seemed to be a sealing force protecting it, and unlike the vibrant “life” of the Harvest Church, the basement exuded a “moon” scent that he was quite familiar with.

Is there a terrifying sealed artifact related to the "moon" in the basement?

While Zhao Chen was pondering, a bishop who was over 2.2 meters tall was preaching in the hall. His physique was so imposing that his loose priestly robes could not conceal it, giving people a great sense of oppression.

However, the bishop's expression was unusually gentle, filled with praise and gratitude for life.

The "long-gloved" lady was also there. This beautiful nun was leading a small group of believers in quietly listening to the teachings, occasionally making the unique prayer gestures of the Church of Mother Earth.

Inside the café, Zhao Chen no longer used his divine sense to probe the entrance to the basement. Instead, he sipped his coffee and ate desserts while attentively listening to the half-giant bishop explain the doctrines of the Earth Mother Goddess. He remained calm and patient until the sermon ended, at which point he finally met his target. It was a man dressed in the robes of a priest from the Church of the Earth Mother Goddess. He appeared to be around twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, with black hair, red eyes, a high nose, and thin lips. He was handsome but not particularly masculine, quite matching the description of the vampire youth in the "Dongyou Qingjian Jue".

The man came out from the basement. He glanced at the believers waiting to receive communion, then looked at the half-giant bishop. Although his expression seemed to be on the verge of tears, he still quickly distributed the communion-related items to the believers.

It seems this vampire youth didn't become a priest here voluntarily... Zhao Chen watched this scene thoughtfully, but he didn't intend to exchange the "Einhorn" family blood in his possession for helping him leave the church.

Firstly, the items inside the basement of the Harvest Church are likely of very high value, and Zhao Chen has no confidence whatsoever.

Secondly, the "Dongyou Qingjian Jue" clearly states this vampire youth's "hobbies," and with the "Yaochi Chess" and "Youye Guangming" supernatural powers in hand, wouldn't he have as many puppets as he wanted?
The problem now is how to get that vampire youth out.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Chen used the "Blind Heart Technique" to make the others in the coffee shop temporarily ignore him, and then used the "Dark Abyss Green Simplified Technique" again to inquire about the relevant information of the half-giant bishop.

A moment later, Zhao Chen curled his lips into a smile, realizing that the bishop had not actually restricted the vampire youth's freedom. He had simply used an extraordinary item to give the youth a psychological suggestion, instructing him to return periodically for "labor reform."

Actually, it's not too bad. At least he didn't try to forcefully change the vampire youth's faith through suggestion. He was relatively respectful of him, which shows that this half-giant bishop has a bottom line and isn't a bad person.

In that case, taking a little risk shouldn't be a problem...

With this thought in mind, Zhao Chen's spirit entered the "Great Sun Starship" and exchanged for "one of his own," who then carried the note he had written into the Harvest Church.

This "one of our own" was a woman around forty years old, the same one who had been "contaminated" in front of the underground gate of the castle last time—after returning to the "Starship," the contamination was removed.

She was originally a famous female knight-errant during the ancient Tang Dynasty. During one of Zhao Chen's "historical fog" missions, she was sold into the Star Chariot to avoid becoming part of the "ghost realm". Because she had half Western blood, she was not conspicuous in this projected world, which is why Zhao Chen always chose her to do things.

The vampire youth was attending a communion ceremony with the bishop and didn't pay much attention when he saw the female warrior approaching. However, after taking the note from her and reading it, his expression became quite interesting.

Soon, the young man rushed toward the half-giant bishop in front of the emblem of life and shouted, "Father, bishop, I want to go home, I want to go home, I want to go home!"

Since some believers had not yet completed the "Holy Communion" ceremony, Father Utravsky did not respond, but simply glanced at him calmly.

The vampire youth suddenly shut his mouth and became quiet, pacing back and forth anxiously.

Only after the communion service was truly over did the burly bishop respond with a gentle expression, "Emlin, you can go home anytime."

Upon hearing this, the vampire youth named Emlyn didn't say a word and rushed straight to the church entrance, successfully leaving the area. However, instead of heading home, he turned onto a street and entered a cafe facing the street, where he sat down opposite Zhao Chen.

Only then did he suddenly come to his senses, and exclaimed in panic, "Who are you? When did you give me this mental suggestion?"

Zhao Chen did not answer his question, but simply smiled and said, "Mr. Emlyn, I mean no harm, I just want to make a deal with you."

As he spoke, he conjured a doll dressed in elaborate Gothic clothing out of thin air.
