Chapter 311: Secrets and Healing

After telling the entire story, Jibu looked at Xia Duo with an expectant expression, hoping that the person before him could save Aiwa.

"My Lord, countless people outside are searching for him. The Eagle Chamber of Commerce has extraordinary strength; perhaps a Spellcaster will take action soon," Laidun reminded him. His meaning was clear: it was not worth bringing trouble upon himself and the Territory for such a person.

Xia Duo pondered. Laidun's words were indeed within his considerations, but deep down, he was still inclined to save Aiwa.

Not to mention that Aiwa himself was a High-level Rogue, a rare talent; in Xia Duo's eyes, any living person was extremely precious.

The development of the Territory was very short on people. He was even considering whether to take men to capture Goblins as Slaves, even though Niya had previously promised him support in personnel and supplies.

But this was likely still far from the ideal number of people in Xia Duo's mind; otherwise, he would not have been so desperate as to have people scour for Langasi!

Xia Duo's inner conflict did not show on his face, but this silence said everything. Jibu's eyes gradually dimmed.

Just then, Yarman suddenly spoke, "My Lord, I suddenly remembered something. I think perhaps you should know."

"What is it?" Xia Duo's tone was somewhat displeased. He was currently weighing whether to save him or not, and Yarman suddenly jumping out disrupted his train of thought.

"This matter is rather secret." Yarman looked left and right, then finally looked at Xia Duo, "My Lord, look—"

Xia Duo walked two steps outward, casually set up a Soundproof Barrier, and then said, "Speak, they cannot hear!"

Yarman was somewhat puzzled, but he would not question Xia Duo's decision. He secretly thought that perhaps the other party had cast some kind of Magic, but just the thought that a Spellcasting event with no external manifestation had occurred right beside him made Yarman's heart tighten, even though he knew Xia Duo would not harm him. He hurriedly and cautiously said:

"My Lord, I heard that ten years ago—"

As he spoke, Yarman's voice became a little lower, and he turned his head to glance at Laidun and Jibu behind him before continuing, "Ten years ago, because Chairman Asaer of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce ordered the chamber's armed forces to withdraw early, it caused the Orcs to suddenly break through the defense line and invade the town area. The old Lord was severely injured in that battle and left this world not long after."

Yarman could see that Lord Xia Duo wanted to recruit that assassin and was perhaps hesitating because he was worried that Aiwa was being hunted. Although not many people knew about the old Lord's affair, it was not a serious secret, but discussing it casually was still not very good.

Lord Xia Duo had hinted and suggested recruiting him several times before, and Yarman was somewhat tempted, but this temptation was not enough to make him defect.

However, things took a turn the day before yesterday; Lord Xia Duo had actually concluded a sacred marriage contract with Lady Niya, so the situation was somewhat different.

Lord Xia Duo had gone from an uncertain Pioneer Lord to a highly sought-after object of attachment overnight. Those who could not reach Lord Weier had one more option.

On this side, although Xia Duo had not yet realized that Yarman's attitude had loosened, the news he provided shocked Xia Duo greatly.

Niya had only just ascended to her position a few days ago. The old Lord in Yarman's words was actually Niya's grandfather. The death of the old Savier Lingzhu was actually related to the victim of this murder case.

Various thoughts rolled back and forth in Xia Duo's mind. He immediately decided to save Aiwa, not just to remove the curse, but also for the subsequent protection.

As long as the Savier authorities did not become an obstacle, no matter how strong the background of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce was, the resources they could spend on a small character were ultimately limited.

Perhaps a Spellcaster would come to investigate, but the intensity of this investigation was hard to say.

Of course, this matter still needed to be communicated with Niya; after all, he was not very proficient in dealing with magical searches.

However, for now, he would first remove the curse for Aiwa.

Yarman stepped aside after finishing the secret about the old Lord, and Xia Duo took out the Blade of Veto and came before Aiwa.

Seeing Xia Duo approach with a sword, Jibu did not react at all. It was not until Xia Duo activated the Dispel Magic inherent to the Blade of Veto and Aiwa's body trembled slightly that he came back to his senses.

"My Lord?"

Jibu realized that Xia Duo was likely saving Aiwa, and his mood suddenly became tense again. In a short moment, his mood had risen and fallen several times, and he could no longer bear it, actually fainting.

"Laidun, go take a look."

"Yes, my Lord."

At this moment, Laidun already knew Xia Duo's decision. Although he still had doubts in his heart, his Faith did not allow him to question his superior.

After checking Jibu and Aiwa in turn, he stood up and replied, "My Lord, Captain Jibu fainted due to excessive emotional agitation. I have already soothed him with Holy Power, and he will wake up soon; as for him—"

Laidun glanced at Aiwa, paused, and then said, "His condition has eased, but the curse remains. If your Lordship's dispelling Spell can continue, perhaps it can be removed."

After saying this, he also stepped aside.

Xia Duo tightened his right hand on the hilt. That Magic could of course be used; it could be used three times in succession in a short period, after which it would need to wait for recovery.

It was just that what he did not expect was that he had originally held the idea of trying it out when he used this magic sword to remove the curse, but he did not expect it to actually work!

Perhaps using Dispel Magic to describe this ability of the Blade of Veto was not accurate; using Spell Breaking was more vivid.

Elf Sword Singers could originally fight against normal Mages. If they did not have Spellcasting abilities or Spell Breaking abilities, how could they gain a foothold in Elf society, or even be sought after!

Although Xia Duo had only lived in an Elf city in the Projection Plane for a little over a year, he was very clear about this point. And as a standard longsword for a Sword Singer, the Blade of Veto having the ability to break spells did not seem so incomprehensible.

"I will try again!"

As he spoke, Xia Duo activated the active ability of the Blade of Veto again, and an invisible energy field immediately appeared at the tip of the sword.

Perhaps calling it an energy field was not appropriate, because it did not contain any energy at all; instead, it instantly smoothed out the Magic Net fluctuations within a spherical range centered on the tip of the sword.

Even if there were wandering energy or elements, they would be instantly combed away. Within this area, no Magic could exist.

Of course, the actual situation was—Xia Duo had activated it twice in a row, and the curse had not been completely removed.

However, at this step, the Spell Elements were severely damaged, and this curse almost had no power left; there were only some residual auras, which might become targets for tracking.

But Xia Duo would not let them do that. By this step, he himself could gradually remove the residual elements of this curse; it just needed a little time.

……

And just as Xia Duo was attempting to remove the residual curse for Aiwa, inside the Temple of the Lord of Radiance in Savile Town, Bishop Anbulier was listening to a subordinate's report.
