My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start - Chapter 532

Chapter 532: Saving The Entire City

“His Highness Watson is right.”

The corner of Fawkes’ mouth twitched. He really wanted to start treatment because he was partially poisoned, and it would be very inconvenient for him to be unable to move one hand. Unfortunately, he had no way to refute Watson’s words because he was the one who said that he should treat the seriously ill first.

He really regretted his decision. Watson had wanted to treat him then; why did he find an excuse to avoid it? In the end, he wasted a great opportunity.

At Watson’s request, the residents lined up in front of Watson so that he could cure them. That process lasted for about a day. By the time the last person was cured, it was already evening.

“Even though the toxins in your body have been removed, you will still be weak for some time. The best way is to go to the golden river that has just appeared in the city and drink a teaspoon of water from the river. I guarantee that you will recover quickly, and you will also gain unimaginable power!” Watson addressed an elderly man with a hunched figure and a cane.

Then, he pointed at a sea folk behind him and said, “That sea folk soldier will take you there later.”

“Your Highness Watson, thank you so much. Not only did you treat us, but you also did not ask for anything in return. I don’t even know how to thank you! Here are ten copper coins. They are my savings. Now, I want to give them to you.”

The old man lifted his tattered clothes and looked at the wooden skin that had been corroded by the poison and turned back into human flesh. Trembling with excitement, he took out ten dirty coins from his clothes. He wanted to pass them to Watson.

Before that, Watson reached out and pressed down on the money. He shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, sir. I’m treating you because I want to, not because I want your money! As the guardian of the Holy See and the future king of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, this is my duty. May the will of the Holy Dragon Kingdom make you brave, and may the glory of God bless you.”

“Praise the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Praise the gods.”

The old man excitedly took back the coins, drew a cross on his chest with his finger, bowed respectfully to Watson, and left with the sea folks.

The sea folks led the old man to the golden river that had appeared in the city. At the same time, they told the old man about the changes that had occurred in the kingdom, including the shift in the kingdom’s faith from the seven gods to Watson and Watson’s various feats.

The old man nodded from time to time. Soon, they arrived at the golden river. After taking a spoonful of the golden river water, the old man, who had been trembling and looking very weak, immediately threw away his walking stick. The wrinkles on his face had smoothened, and he looked more than ten years younger.

“This is also one of the miracles that Young Master Watson performed. This can slow down the aging process, and the water is the best proof that Young Master Watson is a god.”

The much younger man immediately ran on the bank of the river, and his eyes filled with tears as he praised Watson’s greatness. “So all of that was done by His Highness Watson. He is too great. He will lead the kingdom in the future; it is our honor to live in such a kingdom.”

Similar scenes could be seen everywhere on the riverbank. Many residents were there to drink the water from the golden river. Their bodies were no longer weak, and they had successfully advanced to gold-tier. Some residents knelt on the riverbank to pray, while others simply took off their clothes and jumped into the river with pious expressions.

Watson watched all of that and felt a large amount of power surge from his body. That power came from the beliefs of the people in the city.

The fortress city was too far away from the royal city, so it was difficult for them to get the latest news, let alone news of a significant event like the replacement of the seven gods.

Watson had to cure their poison and also promote the new faith to get more believers. He also wanted the residents in the fortress city to get closer to the sea folks. It would make things easier for them in the future.

“This can kill many birds with one stone. I’m really a smart kid.”

Watson could not help but puff out his chest and praise himself in his heart. He could think of a method that did not depend entirely on himself. It was also related to Avril. After Avril was resurrected, she became the new Saintess of the Holy See. She had taught him a lot of knowledge in that area.

He turned around and looked into the distance with that thought in mind. On the bank of the river, a beautiful woman in a gorgeous robe and a crown was patting the heads of a few children. She smiled at them lovingly.

“Your Majesty, will I be handsome if I believe in Watson?”

“Yes, believing in Watson will make you handsome and give you the strength to protect yourself in battles so that the elves can’t capture you again.”

The woman’s movements were gentle, and her eyes dimmed when she mentioned the elves.

It was Queen Avril. When Watson opened the river passageways and brought the ministers to the fortress city, Avril did not come because the Holy Dragon Kingdom fought against the Elven Kingdom. She did not want to see either side get injured. After the Elven Kingdom’s army temporarily withdrew from the fortress city, she went there through the Dragon Palace Network.

As soon as she arrived, she began her duties as a saintess and helped Watson preach his faith.

“Then I must believe in Watson. If I could protect my parents, they would not have died in that war,” a young man said, his expression a little gloomy.

“What a good child. Your mother will definitely be proud of you.” Avril picked up the boy and kissed him on his cheeks and said, “Even though you lost your parents, you still have friends. If you don’t mind, you can treat me as your mother.”

“Seriously? That’s great.”

A group of children cheered excitedly. A few adult males went to Avril’s side shyly. “Your Majesty, we’ve also lost our parents in that war. If it’s possible, can we treat you as our family too?”

Avril was stunned for a moment before nodding her head. She displayed a smile that looked like a blossoming flower. “Of course.”

The adults looked at each other and clapped and cheered.

Watson was a little envious. Avril had the appearance of an elf. However, the residents in the fortress city did not hate Avril. They were kind toward her too. It was a natural affinity; not everyone could do that.

“With Queen Avril’s help, it’s not a problem to gain the faith of the fortress city in a short time. What we need to do next is to reduce their suffering.”

Having made up his mind, Watson stretched his back and walked toward the directions outside the city.
