On the way, Qinyue suddenly spoke up.
"The system just notified me that Iâve comprehended a skill."
The younger sister brought up the attribute panel and showed the skill description to Chufeyue.
ăDivine Melody: Soul Calming: Transcend the spirits of the aggrieved, liberate the mindless or controlled undead creatures.ă
Chufeyue and the others returned to the village, and from a distance, they saw the village chief standing at the village entrance, looking like a stone statue waiting for her husband.
Seeing Chufeyue return, the old village chief walked over with his cane, thumping it on the ground.
"Sir Candidate, thank you so much, thank you so much. Are you hurt...?" He excitedly held Chufeyueâs hand, examining it up and down, afraid to find even the slightest scratch.
By the way, why is he only checking his hand?
"No need, Village Chief. Something happened inside, but Misha is dead, and Iâm not hurt."
"Thatâs great. Letâs go tell Manxi the good news... Wait, oh my! Sir Candidate, can I see your collar?" The village chiefâs eyes widened, staring straight at Chufeyueâs neck. "Thatâs..."
"This?" Chufeyue pulled up his collar to reveal the ugly emblem. "It fell from the sky after I completed the task. Itâs so ugly."
"The Emblem of the Gospel! Itâs actually the Emblem of the Gospel! Goddess! I never thought the Emblem of the Gospel would descend upon my village this year, what a great honor..." The old village chief touched the musical notes on the emblem. "Sir is indeed chosen by heaven to save the continent; otherwise, the Emblem of the Gospel wouldnât recognize you as its master."
"Isnât it just a reward emblem?"
"No, absolutely not. This emblem automatically seeks out promising young people. Its owners are all great figures who have made a significant impact."
The village chief rubbed his old face. "Ah... I should calm down, Iâm too excited, Sir." He gripped his cane and took a deep breath. "Phew, okay. We need to find Manxi first; that child has been acting crazy and itâs worrying."
So, the old village chief, hopping along, led Chufeyue to the house... right next to his.
He knocked on the tightly closed iron door and calmly stepped back three steps.
Then, the door suddenly "thumped" and fell outward, landing right in front of the village chiefâs shoes.
"That child, Manxi, always makes strange things..." The village chief pulled Chufeyue over the door. "This door was set up by her to punish Old Wang for coming home drunk... Itâs only been a few years, sigh."
Entering the yard, they saw a garden full of weeds. In a corner, a disheveled figure stood, and in the area around her, not a single blade of grass grew.
"This child, the yard was empty yesterday..."
The old village chief walked over and patted the seemingly crazy person on the shoulder. She turned her head.
Her face was clean, but the heavy dark circles under her eyes severely marred her appearance, making her look like a terrifying demon.
She didnât seem very old, but the dark circles made it impossible to tell her age.
"Manxi, you donât need to research those poisons anymore." The village chief gently took the yellow liquid in the test tube from her hand and placed it on the test tube rack in front of her. "Misha is dead."
The woman named Manxiâs eyes lit up, and her previously dull gaze became much more lively.
"Really?" Her voice was hoarse, as if she hadnât had water in a long time. "That bear, itâs dead?"
"Yes, yes." The village chief led her to Chufeyue. "It was the Goddess Candidate who killed it and avenged Old Wang. You donât need to research any more poisons."
Wang Manxiâs eyes went wide as she looked at Chufeyueâs face. "You... really... killed it...?"
"Although some things happened, the gray bear is indeed dead." Chufeyue decided not to tell them about the three super divine beasts descending and fighting to a stalemate. It was better to let this peaceful little village remain peaceful.
"Is this... really...?" Wang Manxi slowly backed up and sat on a stool. "Wah, Father... your revenge has been avenged, avenged... wah." She covered her face and cried.
After she moved, Chufeyue saw what the girl had been working on. She had set up a long row of test tubes on the table, each filled with a different colored liquid, as if she were conducting a chemistry experiment.
"Sir, Manxi is our villageâs only alchemist. Since Old Wangâs incident, she has been depressed, always trying to invent a poison to avenge Old Wang, and she has become a bit crazy." The village chief quickly explained. "Thankfully, Sir killed Misha; otherwise, I was really afraid this child would do something foolish."
At this moment, Wang Manxi wiped the tears from her eyes and walked to Chufeyue, kneeling down and bowing three times. Chufeyue tried to stop her, but her strength was too great, and he ended up bending down with her.
"Sir... I canât repay your kindness..." Wang Manxi tightly held Chufeyueâs hand. "I can only thank you, thank you, thank you..."
"Donât do this, get up. Since I heard about it, I couldnât just stand by. And, about Misha..."
"Sir, donât say anything more. I, Wang Manxi, will remember your kindness for the rest of my life..." Wang Manxi paused, then suddenly hit her head and pulled out a book from a drawer behind the table, handing it to Chufeyue. "Sir, I donât know how to repay you... This is my herbal notes, which should be useful to you now."
"This... did you write all of this?" Chufeyue looked at the notebook, which was thicker than a Chinese dictionary, and his mouth twitched.
Damn, how much time did this take!
"Yes, itâs all here now..." Wang Manxi pointed to her head. "Although Iâm just a high-level alchemist, I can assure you that some of the potions in here are even unknown to my teacher."
"Wang Manxiâs Life Alchemy Notes: Fine. Book. Contains years of experience in alchemy research, with some strange things recorded."
This notebook actually has attributes, even though itâs not equipment...
Chufeyue, who was already curious about the technology of this world, accepted the notebook. Wang Manxiâs mental state had been on the verge of collapse for days, so after thanking Chufeyue again, she took a bottle of medicine and ran back to her room to sleep.
The magic bear incident came to an end here.
