Chapter 1443: Chapter 104: I cannot handle it; my Lord must come in person.

The Great Speaker looked Anthony up and down and said, “The Lord of Life is also very good at healing, with its Praise of Life and Wind of Resurgence being quite powerful, but these Light Disasters are strange, and it’s uncertain whether the Lord of Life or the Lord of Light can heal them effectively.”

“Heh heh, as long as he is still alive, if it can’t be healed, I might as well die. But taking such a big risk might mean a significant drain on my Lord’s power,” Anthony chuckled, adding to himself in thought: Even if he dies, it’s not impossible.

“What grand words, come with me, if you can heal my governor, I will grant you the title of a good friend of the Alliance,” the Great Speaker said.

If an ordinary person heard this, they might scoff, a ‘good friend’ title as a reward, but Anthony, of course, was not so shallow and said, “With this title, is it illegal for me to kill?”

“Of course, it’s illegal,” the Great Speaker said irritably, “But don’t touch my people, and my people won’t come after you.”

Anthony nodded in understanding. This title was probably similar to the ‘Elf’s Friendship Badge’; having it meant you were under the Great Speaker’s protection, and as long as you don’t go too far, the Great Speaker will cover for you.

This title is meaningless to ordinary people, not as good as tons of Demon Crystals, but for forces wanting to establish themselves in the Divine Light Alliance, it’s akin to a political license.

As long as you don’t go too far, the Great Speaker will cover for you. If you go too far, you’re on your own, and the Great Speaker’s forces won’t intervene.

This was a clever reward, it seems the Great Speaker wasn’t as ‘simple’ as he appeared.

Anthony was very pleased, rubbing his hands together. Just healing one person could earn such a reward, a big win, it seems this governor held significant weight in the eyes of the Great Speaker.

They walked a great distance, arriving behind the government building, where officials rested, similarly drawing thick curtains blocking all light.

Just at the entrance, the Great Speaker and Anthony heard an undeniable voice: “No need to say more, I will not accept the reincarnation sacrifice, just let me rot.”

The Great Speaker blinked, frozen at the door, and seeing this, Anthony also held his breath and stopped, listening intently; the tone of this superior, it must be the governor.

Another anxious female voice pleaded, “But you’ll not only rot, you’ll die too.”

“Will I not die if I accept reincarnation sacrifice? Reincarnation leads to death too, not just death, but becoming an ugly walking corpse forever, I don’t want to become like that, just let me die,” the governor firmly said.

The female voice was so anxious she didn’t know what else to say, “But… but…”

“Erik, I know you don’t want me to die, but everyone views life differently, you’re only twenty and haven’t seen many of life’s beauties, you have many dreams and fantasies about life, but I’m already seven hundred years old, I’ve seen too many beauties and suffered countless hardships, so I know what kind of life I want,”

“To become an ugly corpse, hiding in the dark, damp depths of the earth, afraid to see people, that’s not what I want. Rather than that, I would prefer to die peacefully, returning to the embrace of the Lord of Life, that is part of nature,” the governor said.

Seven hundred years? Lord of Life? Part of nature? Could it be that the governor is an Elf?

The voice of Erik urgently said, “But isn’t the Great Speaker also an Undead? Yet he is not ugly.”

“Hmph, who knows what kind of sorcery he uses, disappearing from time to time and then returning revitalized, probably using some dark magic somewhere. It’s said soaking in the blood of pure maidens keeps one eternally youthful, it’s just too evil,” the governor said angrily.

Anthony leaned over to the Great Speaker and whispered, “It seems your governor has quite a few misunderstandings about you.”

Great Speaker couldn’t help but laugh and cry, responding: “I never imagined that she would see me this way. I raised her from childhood, yet she thinks I’m evil?”

“Could it be that you lack communication? If there is too little interaction and not enough communication, misunderstandings arise. Have you ever told her what you rely on to stay fresh?” Anthony said in a knowledgeable tone.

“She doesn’t need to stay fresh, why should I tell her that?” the Great Speaker said irritably.

Anthony laughed: “Let me give you an example. If someone comes out of the bathroom every day, wiping their mouth contentedly, what would you think they did in there?”

“Uh…” the Great Speaker immediately felt disgusted.

Anthony laughed: “Of course, it’s because there’s a sink in the bathroom, and he was just rinsing his mouth. Where did your mind go?”

The Great Speaker nodded thoughtfully: “I understand what you mean now. She can’t see how I stay fresh, so she guesses wildly.”

“Right, maintaining communication in a team is very important. Without it, there are suspicions. I don’t know how many teams have disbanded due to lack of communication between members,” Anthony remarked sentimentally.

Being an Old God Stick for a millennium and an expert in manipulating hearts naturally comes with much experience in these matters.

The Great Speaker forced a smile: “She’s just a 700-year-old child, how can her thoughts be so complex? She guesses wildly without even asking me.”

“Do you want me to explain it for you?” Anthony asked.

“How would you explain? Do you have any Essence Liquid?” the Great Speaker asked.

Once suspicion arises, explanations become difficult unless shown by demonstration, but the Great Speaker had already run out of Essence Liquid.

“Watch me,” said Anthony, then loudly coughed and after a short pause, pushed the door open and entered, saying: “Would you be willing to reincarnate as a Witch that isn’t ugly?”

Anthony’s cough prepared the people inside. As he pushed the door and entered, he saw a girl holding a vase and another person wrapped in a blanket. The girl shouted sharply: “Who are you… Great Speaker?”

“Yes, it’s me.” The Great Speaker followed Anthony into the room with his hands behind his back.

The official wrapped in the blanket instinctively stepped back, and the girl, even more embarrassed, clutched the vase unsure of what to do. They realized that the Great Speaker must have heard their earlier conversation.

The room fell into silence until Anthony said: “I am an apostle of the Lord of Light, brought here by the Great Speaker to heal you. We can heal not just the living, but also the dead, such as…”

At this point, Anthony lifted the Great Speaker’s hand. Although he had used Essence Liquid, its effects were incomparable to the Face Purification Technique and were still very wrinkled, slightly smoother than those of an elderly person.

After applying the Face Purification Technique, Anthony, holding the revitalized hand, said: “The might of the Lord of Light doesn’t require the blood of a pure maiden. You underestimate us. The Great Speaker is our long-term client. If you need similar services, we offer a twenty percent discount.”

The official put down the blanket, walked up to the Great Speaker, and kneeled in front of him, guiltily saying: “I’m sorry, sir, I misunderstood you.”

Both the Great Speaker and Anthony involuntarily gasped when they saw her face.

The Great Speaker felt heartache for his family member who was injured like this, while Anthony was startled: “I’m sorry, Great Speaker, this isn’t just a superficial injury. My abilities are not sufficient for treatment, and the presence of our Lord is required.”
