Chapter 370 Discounted Evangelism
"Damn it, they said we could experience the most realistic hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress story, but didn't you see we almost got killed by that monster?"
The guest who had just shifted the blame is now at the village gate, shouting and cursing at the gatekeeper with his black hunting dog, venting his fear.
"If you're weak, practice more. Those gargoyles chasing you can be easily dealt with by any adventurer of a higher class!"
Papato gave a cool and aloof reply.
"Ah, if we were advanced professionals, would we need to experience this?!"
These words enraged the two guests who were being chased and desperately pleading for help.
"Rest assured, the safety of guests experiencing the murder mystery game is guaranteed. When the gargoyle is about to kill, we will naturally come out in time to stop it."
Even if the guests are injured while running, our village has a resident high priest who can heal them completely with his healing magic.
"Hey, this run-down village even has a high priest?"
The two guests were somewhat suspicious.
"Of course."
Papato made a solemn vow.
"The temple is located on the west side of the village. Guests are welcome to visit, but if you require treatment, you will have to pay for it yourself."
The black hound draped in a cloak added another sentence from the back.
"Damn it, we got injured during your Crimson Demon Clan experience program, and now we have to pay for our own medical treatment?"
A guest with a slightly injured elbow, his face still flushed, asked a question.
"All participation in the murder mystery game experience in our village is voluntary. This is the waiver you signed when you participated in the hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress experience."
In response, Papato pulled out a pre-prepared waiver from his pocket, which stated that any injuries sustained during the experience were the responsibility of the guest.
Whether intentional or accidental, next to the waiver that was pulled out was not another waiver, but a fee-based photo shoot documenting the customer's heroic rescue.
"What? You recorded our embarrassing moment with the photo stone?"
Upon seeing this item, the other guest's expression changed.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I took the wrong one."
Papato belatedly realized what was happening and tried to take back the brochure for the photo service, but his hand was grabbed.
Explain yourself.
"Uh, of course."
"What about the photo stone?"
"It has already been handed over to the guest who paid for your experience."
Upon hearing this, the two guests at the village entrance changed their expressions, finally realizing that their friend's enthusiastic invitation to experience the hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress story in Red Devil Village was a huge trap.
The two gritted their teeth, talking about settling scores with that fat bastard, while Papato enthusiastically promoted his village's murder mystery game experience.
If any of your friends want to experience this kind of activity and want to record their friend's heroic rescue, feel free to recommend Hongmoxiang.
"Regular customers can get a 20% discount for referrals, and you can also pay for this service for your friends or family, including signing a waiver."
Upon hearing this, the two guests immediately paid for a new murder mystery game experience. They bought a "Monster Rampage" murder mystery game experience for their good friend who was still in the village, and also booked a high-definition recording service.
"Original price 30 Eris, now 24 Eris, thank you for your patronage~"
Huihui and the others, who had come over intending to settle scores with the two who had shifted the blame, were stunned when they saw this scene.
"This works?"
"Of course! Our village's murder mystery game experience focuses on building deeper bonds between people. Guests can pay for their friends' experiences, creating a passionate and camaraderie!"
The old headmaster of the Crimson Demon Clan stroked his beard, looking rather proud, and said...
"Principal, are you sure this is a passionate interaction out of friendship, and not a passionate interaction that ends a friendship?"
Youyou had some doubts.
"Ahem, friendship that can't withstand the test isn't true friendship, and similarly, other feelings that can't withstand the test aren't true feelings either."
The old principal subconsciously glanced away and said.
"What other feelings could there be?"
Darkness asked curiously.
"For example, in a love story, there's a script where the guest stands up for his female companion in times of crisis, thus demonstrating his masculinity."
Papato then answered Darkness's question.
"And what was the result?"
Princess Alice asked out of curiosity.
"To better showcase the masculinity of our guests, we specially released that petrified griffin over there."
However, the young nobleman who purchased this service was somewhat weak-willed. When faced with a griffin (a monster that even advanced professionals might not be able to defeat solo), he abandoned his beloved girl and ran away.
However, we did manage to facilitate a love story in the end. The abandoned noblewoman fell in love with the young male guard who rescued her, and I heard they've eloped now.
Papato's words left everyone present looking at each other in bewilderment, while the two injured guests exchanged glances, and for some unknown reason, they each took out another sum of money.
"I have a friend who has a lover who is my childhood sweetheart. I want to give them a gift to celebrate their relationship!"
"Sending a congratulatory gift is just a pretense; your real intention is to break up couples, isn't it?!"
Huihui immediately began to criticize the sinister intentions of this complete stranger.
"A relationship that can't withstand the test isn't a relationship at all. If it were me, I would protect her even if it meant my death!"
With such a resolute tone, the man seemed to be showing his true feelings for his childhood sweetheart, but only at the very end did he cautiously ask Papato.
"Hmm, are you sure the murder mystery game experience in your village won't kill its customers?"
"No, but if you're going to show off your manliness to your guests, you'll definitely get hurt."
"Isn't your village guarded by a high priest from the temple?"
"Their fees are quite expensive."
"Ha, expensive? My family owns a jewelry store, I've never known what expensive means..."
. . . .
"Hey, you've broken your leg. To heal it, you'll need to pay 2.4 million Eris."
"Ah, I only broke my leg. In other city temples, the cost to heal such an injury would be at most 200,000 Eris!"
"Ha, you can go to a temple in another city to get treatment, but don't blame me for not warning you, if you delay treatment for your leg injury, even if you get better later, you may become a cripple."
"Guest, you wouldn't want to become a cripple just to save money, would you?"
"Can you make it cheaper?"
"Of course! Once you sign this initiation agreement, we'll be brothers and sisters. And for your medical expenses, we'll only charge 10% of the original price, rounding it down to zero. You'll only need 200,000 Eris. Come, dear guest, would you like to join our sect and become one of us?"
Upon arriving at the temple, Broly and his companions saw a blonde priestess quoting an exorbitant medical fee to a customer with a leg injury. She then offered a discount for joining the cult, attempting to coerce the customer into signing a cult membership agreement.
And this kind of behavior seemed to have been seen by everyone in the morning.
Looking towards the temple, sure enough, the religion based in Scarlet Devil Village was Aqua's sect in this world—the Axis Cult.
For minor injuries, the cost starts at 100,000, and for slightly more serious injuries, it can be as high as a million. If you don't want to pay such exorbitant medical fees, you have to join the religion and become an Axis follower.
"By worshipping the great water goddess Aqua, you can enjoy a discounted intimate healing service from the beautiful saintess Cecily, a branch of the Axis Cult in Scarlet Devil Village~"
Upon seeing a group of guests approach, a female priest quickly stepped forward and handed them a flyer with a picture. The flyer showed a beautiful and charming female priest, who looked like an angel in white.
But look at that woman over there, holding the initiation agreement, pressing her step by step, forcing customers who can't afford the high treatment fees to join the church, just like a ruthless loan company forcing women into prostitution.
Everyone: "..."
"Haha, as expected of my loyal and lovely followers!"
Aqua put her hands on her hips and laughed triumphantly.
"How about it, ladies and gentlemen? Interested in joining our cult? Join our Axis Cult now, and we'll also give you a free ticket to our partner Crimson Demon Clan's Holy Sword Pulling Ceremony, a dinner at the Lingerie Tavern, and a mixed-gender hot spring ticket to the Succubus Hot Spring Inn~"
The female missionaries were very enthusiastic, promoting the Axis religion. The freebies they mentioned were all the same kinds of tourist traps that the local Red Demon girls had mentioned before they came here. Although the names had changed, they were clearly the same kind of stuff.
"Excuse me, I am from the Cult of Eris..."
"Pah, you Eris cult scum, wasting my time!"
Before Eris could finish speaking, her shoe was nearly spat on. The once gentle and kind female missionary now displayed an expression of disgust, as if she were looking at trash.
"Ah, how could you do this? We, the Church of Eris..."
Upon seeing this, Darkness immediately stepped forward. To protect her goddess—well, that doesn't seem quite right—she just wanted to be looked at like trash. Yet, under the priestess's gaze, she became coy and coy, revealing a somewhat enjoyable expression.
"My name is Aqua, and I am the goddess of the Axis religion. My disciples are also followers of the Axis religion."
"Oh, so you're a fellow believer. However, it's disrespectful to call yourself a goddess. Of course, the great and merciful Lady Aqua will certainly not punish you for this."
"Uh, I really am Aqua, your goddess."
"Hmm, the resemblance is very striking. Your cosplay of the Water Goddess is absolutely amazing. We are fully aware of your reverence for the goddess. Here are some tickets for our collaboration with the Crimson Demon Clan, which we will give to you and your disciple. And this little brother, who is also a fellow believer, will also be given to you."
Axis followers are cold and indifferent to Eris followers, but they are very warm and welcoming to fellow Axis followers.
Before long, Aqua and Broly were handed a bunch of business tickets for the collaboration between the Axis Cult and the Scarlet Demon Clan, which was based in Scarlet Demon Village.
"Let me tell you a secret: the murder mystery game experience offered by the Red Demon Clan is extremely dangerous. These people are all a bit mentally unstable and use extremely dangerous monsters. Unless you want to experience thrills and excitement, it's best not to buy this service. Also, be wary of others who might offer you this service."
The priestess leaned closer and quietly reminded Aqua and Broly that playing in Scarlet Devil Village was a risky activity.
"Hey, I can hear you!"
Huihui started complaining.
"Oh ho ho, we're all on the same side, don't mind too much. After all, if someone pays for the temple's expensive treatments, our Axis Church and your Crimson Demon Clan will split it 50/50."
The female priest left somewhat awkwardly.
"What do you call this, colluding and conspiring together?"
Miss Lich tilted her head.
"What do you mean by 'colluding' or 'working together'? This is clearly a powerful alliance!"
Aqua rolled her eyes at her.
In this world, two groups with questionable minds have begun to cooperate.
However, the Axis Cult believed that the Red Demons were mentally unstable and did not recruit them into their cult.
Instead, they cooperated with them, with the Red Demon Clan responsible for creating the wounded through their dangerous projects, while the Axis Cult was responsible for healing them.
Of course, they didn't forget to spread their teachings while healing, and those who didn't accept the teachings had to pay extra for treatment.
So far, in the Scarlet Demon Village, a region teeming with dangerous monsters, apart from the Axis Cult, whose archbishop is a Master of Sorrowful Wind, capable of communicating with monsters through intimate interaction and even inspiring fear in some high-level monsters, no other cult has come to preach in this place, let alone establish a temple here so that the glory of God can also shine upon this dangerous region.
"Sir, your arm is injured."
"Uh, it's just a superficial wound."
Even if it's just a superficial injury, it still needs to be treated properly.
The other two guests have been targeted, and the one whose family owns a jewelry store and who claims to have never known what is expensive has been enthusiastically dragged into the interior of the Axis temple by the female priest.
"Great water goddess Aqua, please grant your blessing and heal the wounds of this lost lamb before me."
And it must be said, the priests of the Axis Church were indeed highly skilled in hydrotherapy magic; the wound on the man's arm healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Thank you for your patronage, four hundred thousand Eris."
"What? You want 400,000 for this little injury?"
"This is a divine technique. If the guest cannot afford it, they can choose to join the cult, and we will charge them 40,000."
"Oh, but I haven't agreed to let you treat my injuries yet!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Cecily, the blonde priestess of the Axis branch who had already recruited people into the church, immediately jumped over.
"You bastard, are you trying to renege on our Axis Cult's debts?"
"Ah, you're being unreasonable!"
"Ha, I was just asking, have your injuries been healed?"
"Uh, yes."
"Is it wrong for us to take your money?"
"But I was brought in here for treatment."
"I don't care about that. Anyway, your injuries have been treated, so you have to pay. As for if you don't have the money to pay, then you'd better obediently choose to join the cult. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you, you bastard, understand?"
The Axis saintess, with a long face, grabbed the man by the collar and leaned closer, giving him a menacing look as she warned him.
"Hey, Aqua, aren't you going to do anything about your followers proselytizing like this?"
Huihui asked.
"Hey, who cares? Isn't this a great way to proselytize?"
Aqua looked at her with some confusion.
