Monster Lord: The Goblin Offers the Saintess to Me at the Start

As for the wounds the people had suffered from the Blood Servants, Sivis wasn't worried — he could make the peasants immune to the infection just by slightly tapping into the God of the Blood Sea's power he had stolen.

Sivis thought, and as he walked forward, he saw the many commoners looking so excited they didn't know what to say, which made him feel a little amused.

At that moment, a figure suddenly rushed toward him.

Huh?

He was taken aback.

Sivis realized the figure was an old man among the people he had just saved.

With his speed, he could easily react. But as he sensed the old man had no malicious intent, he dodged to the side and helped the old man up — after all, the old man's body wasn't strong enough to take such a hit.

After being dodged, the old man kept muttering: "My lord, I'm worried about you. You should leave quickly. These people have been bitten by monsters, and they'll turn into monsters too. You should stay away from these dangerous creatures."

Others also came to their senses and urged Sivis: "You should go far away. Don't let your precious body get hurt. You saved us, and we're already moved!"

"If something happened to you again, we'd never forgive ourselves."

A group of people chattered all at once.

Sivis couldn't help but laugh and sigh.

Before he could even respond, he saw that the people still looked gloomy, acting as if they were in despair.

Because they knew that the family's pillar had been bitten by the monsters and would soon turn into one, which meant that the main source of income for their family was gone.

They didn't have time to feel emotional or sad — they only wanted Sivis to leave.

This wasn't entirely out of deep respect for the lord.

It was because they understood that even though their men had died, they still had to go on living.

Sivis was kind-hearted and gave many jobs to the old and women.

In such a desperate situation, their first thought was that although it was tragic that their people had died, they couldn't let Sivis get hurt — they still relied on Sivis for their livelihood.

The people bitten by the monsters, including the one who had previously run through the group in a fit of fear, all looked extremely desperate but suddenly made up their minds.

"Lord, don't worry about us — just go quickly."

"We'll find a place to end our lives ourselves. We won't bother anyone else."

"If possible, could you still offer work to the women and elders in our families?"

"You don't have to pay them, just let them live — give them some food..."

At that moment, as a series of footsteps approached, Vikalina also arrived at Sivis's side.

She quickly moved to her companion's side and whispered, "I checked it out — we can basically confirm that only these few small groups of monsters have appeared. I also cleared out a batch of Blood Servants on the way, and no one was hurt over there."

Sivis nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

He was in a good mood.

Other than the messages he saw before leaving the sewers, there shouldn't be any new villagers in trouble.

But...

Seeing Vikalina arrive, the people who had just urged the lord to leave now showed fear and panic in their eyes.

They took a few steps back.

The ones who had been bitten by monsters suddenly made up their minds: "We won't cause you any trouble." And with that, they rushed out quickly.

The family members of the strong man didn't even react at all, and they didn't say goodbye to the husband who had protected them just moments ago. They just stood coldly on the side, as if they didn't know them at all.

But if you looked closely, you could see their bodies shaking and tears falling from their eyes.

They recognized Vikalina and knew she was from the Church.

They thought that unlike the great and kind lord Sivis, who could understand their pain as ordinary people, Vikalina wouldn't be so compassionate.

Even if Vikalina had always been kind, when she saw the infected people, she would definitely kill them without hesitation, and might even consider the people near the monsters as possibly infected and kill them too!

It wasn't that the commoners thought the Church was too bad — they had actually seen the cruelty of the Knight Order.

They had heard about a family in the area near the church. The family had only one person bitten by a monster, and it would take several days for that person to fully turn into a monster.

But the Knight Order had killed the entire family and several nearby families just to make sure the plague from the monsters didn't spread!

The bloody and terrifying scene had filled the commoners with fear!

Seeing this, Vikalina fell into silence.

She had always been proud of her identity as a Church knight. Even though she had seen others in the Church become corrupt, she had always believed it was their problem, not the Church itself — a force that had played a major role in the ancient battle against evil and had saved the world.

But now, she felt that the Church's reputation had been nearly destroyed by her colleagues...

The female knight looked rather gloomy.

The commoners didn't dare to act rashly — they had seen the brutality and arrogance of the Church's people.

Even if Vikalina usually acted kind and gentle, and even though she patrolled the factory, it couldn't change their deep-seated prejudice.

Seeing Vikalina's dark expression, Sivis stepped forward to defend her. "You're misunderstanding."

"Vikalina is not one of those Church members who kill everyone connected to monsters without hesitation."

"Besides, you don't have to worry about the monsters anymore."

"Don't forget, I'm not just a lord — I'm also a mage. I can help you remove the monster infection."

For a moment, the crowd was stunned. Some of them even doubted what they had just heard.

"Remove the monster plague?"

They felt like they had just heard something impossible.

How could that be?

The Church had always worked hard to keep the news secret. The commoners, through word of mouth and stories from their elders, had vaguely suspected that these monsters were related to the vampires.

The ability of these monsters to spread infection had never been cured in the past thousand years. How could it suddenly be cured now?

They were confused.

If it hadn't been Sivis speaking, they would have mocked the speaker for being ignorant and ridiculous.

Seeing the crowd's confused and clearly disbelieving expressions, Sivis didn't say much. Instead, he used action to prove his words.

He walked into the crowd. The men who had been bitten by the monsters stepped back quickly, afraid of affecting the lord.

In the people's superstition and ignorance, a monster's wound meant a small monster growing inside the body, spewing poison — everyone had to stay away.

Snap.

Sivis snapped his fingers.

Immediately, a faint red glow appeared in his body.

Then, the men who had already felt something terrible moving inside their bodies suddenly felt lighter. They coughed violently, and then each of them spat out a large amount of dark blood.

The blood dropped onto the ground, giving off a terrible, sharp smell, even corroding the earth and stone beneath it.

"It'll be over soon."

Sivis spoke a syllable, and Transparent Sprite joined him in casting Healing Magic. The two of them quickly healed the people's wounds. Under the light, the dark blood on the ground — the symbol of the plague — was rapidly evaporated.

Within just a few seconds, everything returned to peace and calm. The men who had been injured and infected while defending their homes now looked as if they had suffered no harm at all, except for their torn clothes. It was as if the monster attack had been nothing more than an illusion.

"We... we're okay?"

Without Sivis needing to say a word, they could already feel their bodies were in good condition. Some of them looked at Sivis in disbelief.

An incurable infection had been easily healed.

In fact, they didn't feel much pain at all — they hadn't paid any real price.

So their first reaction wasn't joy at being saved, but rather a sense of disbelief.

Sivis just gave a calm nod. "That's right. As a lord, how could I exaggerate or lie to you?"

His tone was calm, but in his eyes, there was a flicker of irritation, as if he thought these people were ungrateful.

This was to establish his authority — he was willing to help them, and he had enough compassion, but he had come to this world to be a master, not a champion of equality!

Sivis wasn't angry at all, but that didn't stop him from acting like he was.

Sure enough, the crowd instantly believed they had been healed.

In their collective memory over countless years, a noble or lord smiling kindly at them was likely to be deceitful and full of disgusting tricks. But when they were angry, that was definitely genuine!

After the initial shock, they quickly dropped to their knees: "We're sorry, Lord! We shouldn't have doubted you!"

"Please forgive us, we were wrong!"

"Your will must not be questioned in any way — we should trust you unconditionally!"

They kept bowing. The wives, children, and elders behind those men also did the same, asking for forgiveness while adding words of gratitude: "Thank you, thank you! Thank you for saving our whole family! Lord, from now on, command us — even if it costs our lives, we are willing!"

They were all extremely excited, bowing and kneeling, their words becoming more and more grateful and loyal.

They truly believed they had been healed.

After the crowd had begged humbly for a long time, Sivis finally slowly nodded. "Hmm, this time I'll let it go. But you can also tell the others in the factory — there's no need to worry about those monsters."

"I, the lord, have the ability to remove that plague. As long as you all work in peace, I will protect your lives. But as a price, you must remain loyal to me — no matter what happens, betrayal is absolutely not allowed!"
