Chapter 186: The Possibility of Treatment

After Luoning came out of Lulansi's residence, he was surrounded by the nobles outside.

"How is Grandfather's condition?" Maijinni asked with concern.

Luoning looked around; there were many nobles here, such as Kabier, Mawen, Tolu, the eldest son of the Liwei Family, and so on.

They were all quite concerned about Lulansi's safety, but having not received an audience, they could only wait here for news from Luoning.

"Everyone, rest assured, the Marquis is fine."

Luoning's expression was relaxed, and he did not reveal the specific details of Lulansi's condition, "It is just that after the battle, he needs to rest quietly for a few days to recover. If you all do not have urgent matters, there is no need to disturb him."

Hearing this explanation from Luoning, everyone felt a little more at ease.

"Sir Tolu, there is one thing I must trouble you with."

Tolu's expression turned serious, subconsciously assuming this was an instruction from Lulansi: "Please speak."

"During the period while the Marquis is resting, the security within the castle is extremely important."

Lulansi had not given instructions on this matter; perhaps the other party felt that since they were in the inner courtyard of the castle and had a Contract Magical Beast, security here was not an issue, but Luoning still felt that caution was better.

"That Golden Grade assassin has not been caught yet, and his specific situation is unknown, so please pay more attention to the security of Wushan Castle recently, especially the security near the Marquis's residence."

"I understand."

Tolu nodded solemnly, "I will personally guard this place in the near future."

As the Regiment Commander of the First Knight Order stationed at Wushan Castle, Tolu was definitely someone Lulansi could trust.

Kabier, who was to the side, said: "Maijinni and I will also stay at Wushan Castle for a few more days, and I will also take some responsibility for the Marquis's safety."

Kabier was Weijinsi's son-in-law, so it was normal for him to stay here for a few more days.

Luoning spoke a few more words to the other nobles and then walked toward the outside, calling out to Viscount Mawen as he walked.

"Does the Marquis have any matters to instruct me?" Mawen could not help but be curious.

Luoning smiled, "That is not it; it is that I have a matter that requires your help, Uncle."

"Oh? Tell me."

Luoning took out the appointment letter, "The Marquis has already appointed me as the Viscount of Wubei Territory, and I will also be taking over Sain Territory. To prevent the knights in Sain Territory from getting news and transferring assets in advance, I would like to ask you to send a Knight Squad to guard the entrance and exit of Zhaoze Town."

Leisen certainly had knights and family members in Sain Territory, and he might also have informants and Letter Birds in Wushan Castle; once the news reached Zhaoze Town, there was no guarantee these people wouldn't flee with the assets.

The Letter Bird channel between Shanlin Town and Wushan Castle had not been set up yet, so Luoning could not contact Ruidar and could only ask Viscount Mawen for a favor.

"This matter is easy to handle."

Mawen gave his word, "I will have Rognar use a Letter Bird to inform the Knight Squad in Muma City about this matter right now."

Luoning said gratefully: "Many thanks, Uncle Mawen. Please let me know the cost of this support, and I will pay the full price."

When a noble requests another noble to send troops for assistance, such a matter certainly requires payment.

Mawen was Lulansi's vassal, not Luoning's vassal; theoretically, the other party had no obligation to follow Luoning's orders, nor was he obligated to help Luoning.

"For such a small matter, what price is there to speak of."

Mawen waved his hand hurriedly, "My Knight Squads have nothing to do usually; letting them take a trip to Zhaoze Town is just right for them to get some fresh air and practice. Furthermore, you have become a Viscount and I have not yet sent a gift to celebrate; let us just treat this matter as a congratulatory gift."

Very well, the Tieti Family was always so enthusiastic, and they always had various reasons for giving gifts that others could not refuse.

The others also smiled and congratulated Luoning, wishing him success in his promotion, while also discussing sending gifts.

Luoning responded to them one by one with a face full of smiles and politely declined their proposals to give gifts.

However, he also said that Shanlin Town and Sain Territory were in ruins and in need of labor and various talents; if they could send some of these resources, Luoning would be very welcoming.

After interacting with the nobles, Luoning arrived outside the small courtyard of Milosilafu.

This Earth Great Archmage was perhaps getting on in years, as he almost never attended the banquets at Wushan Castle; when he had nothing to do on weekdays, he would chat with Lulansi, and spend the rest of his time in his own small courtyard.

"Viscount, please enter." The assistant who announced him invited Luoning into the small courtyard.

There were many such small courtyards in Wushan Castle for receiving foreign guests, and the layout of each one was very similar.

Led by the assistant, Luoning arrived at Milosilafu's study; at this moment, the other party seemed to be reading some book.

"Greetings, Great Archmage."

Luoning bowed respectfully; the opportunity to visit such a high-level big shot alone was not easily come by.

"Sit, Luoning."

Milosilafu pointed to the chair beside him, "Is there something you need from me?"

The other party spoke very directly, without any intention of being polite.

Luoning did not drag things out either, "Sir, I came here to consult you on whether there is any way to treat my grandfather's injuries."

Soul Devouring Surge was Magic, and Luoning's understanding of Magic was certainly not as clear as that of the Great Archmage before him.

Milosilafu, however, shook his head; he put down the book in his hand and said slowly:

"Lulansi entrusted me with this matter Along time ago. I have consulted various Magic books and also consulted Beiluola, but there is no practical and effective method."

Beiluola Xierwa was the founder of the Silva Magic Energy Chamber of Commerce and was rumored to be a Level 8 Magus, with a level above Milosilafu.

Such a person definitely possessed the top-tier Magic knowledge on the continent; if even they had no way, then it seemed it was indeed very difficult.

Luoning continued to ask: "I heard from Grandfather that he was injured by the Dark Attribute magic 'Soul Devouring Surge'. Is there any Light Attribute magic that can specifically dispel the effects of this magic?"

"The name 'Soul Devouring Surge' was coined by Beiluola and me; no one knows what the true name of this magic is."

Milosilafu sighed, "The one who injured Lulansi was also not a Dark Attribute Magician, but a Magus from the Telixiya Kingdom, using a Spell Scroll obtained from who knows where."

"That Magus..."

"Was killed by your grandfather."

Milosilafu continued: "I know you have a Light Attribute Magician among your subordinates. Indeed, many Light Attribute and Dark Attribute magics have restraining effects on each other, but Beiluola and I estimate this 'Soul Devouring Surge' to be Level 8 Magic. Can your subordinate become a Level 8 Magus?"

It was almost impossible for low-level magic to dispel the effects of high-level magic, which is why Milosilafu said that to dispel Soul Devouring Surge, at least a Level 8 Light Attribute Magus was needed.

He sighed, "Even if he has that potential, that is a matter for decades from now. Child, your grandfather cannot wait that long."

Lulansi could only live for seven or eight years even without any illness or disaster; how could he wait so long?

But after hearing this, a light of hope ignited in Luoning's eyes, "If there is a Level 8 Light Attribute Magus, would my grandfather be saved?"

"Perhaps."

Milosilafu nodded, but then shook his head, "That would also require this Magus to have mastered the Magic to dispel the Soul Devouring Surge, but I am not certain such Light Attribute Magic exists."

Furthermore, I do not mean to discourage you, but as far as I know, neither the Auduin Kingdom nor the Telixiya Kingdom seems to have a Level 8 Light Attribute Magus.

Luoning did not care about that; if there was no such Magician, he could cultivate one.

He stood up and bowed deeply to Milosilafu, "I ask that you, Mr. Great Archmage, please help me keep an eye out for Magic that can dispel the Soul Devouring Surge; no matter the cost, Luoning will certainly purchase it in the future!"

Milosilafu stared at Luoning earnestly, then smiled faintly, "I never expected that when Lulansi was about to die, he would suddenly have such a promising grandson; even if he dies, he can rest in peace."

"I do not want him to die, sir."

Milosilafu nodded, "Very well, I will help you keep an eye out for this Magic, and you should prepare the money; perhaps one day it will truly be found, and I hope we can trade money for goods on the spot."

He was not like Mawen Tieti and had no need to curry favor with Luoning; even with Lulansi, it was a case of brothers settling accounts clearly, and naturally, it was even more so with Luoning.

"Many thanks, sir!"

To Luoning, there was nothing improper about this; others owed him nothing, and on the contrary, he was the one asking for favors. (End of chapter)
