Chapter 476: Healing

The sky above the plateau was as deep and azure as if it had been washed, like nature's purest scroll unfurled before one's eyes.

Aierlong and the squad of the Valjisi Duchy rode on Griffins, and after more than two days of flight, they finally crossed the border of the Jisitana Duchy.

"The scenery here is truly magnificent!"

Aierlong gazed into the distance, where mountains stretched in an unbroken chain, peak upon peak, with some high summits capped in gleaming white snow that shone brilliantly under the sun.

"The scenery of the snow-capped mountains is quite excellent; if you have enough time, we can go and have some fun."

Over these two days, Valjisi had gained quite an understanding of the Magician before him, and at the same time, he sensed Luoning's extraordinary nature through Aierlong.

Feilunsi and Andeliya had reaped benefits in various places over the years, but this time, they might hit a snag in the Wushan Territory.

"If there is an opportunity, I must go up and take a look."

A smile hung on Aierlong's face, making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze; a Light Attribute Magician, even without trying, would always radiate an aura that put those around him at ease.

The Griffins swept over the grassland below and began to head deeper, and the environment gradually became drier. If one continued further inward, the air would gradually become thin, and some people might very well be unable to adapt.

Fortunately, Gisitanabao was not too far from the border; after flying for twenty minutes, Aierlong saw a majestic castle standing atop a high mountain, with flags bearing camels fluttering in the wind.

It was worthy of being a Duke's castle; when Aierlong landed on the Shizhuipingtai, he felt the dry air disappear. The environment inside the castle was very pleasant, and there was even the fragrance of some unknown variety of flower drifting in the air, which was extremely refreshing.

Valjisi led Aierlong away from the Shizhuipingtai, asking as they walked: "Have you discovered anything amiss?"

Aierlong shook his head.

Before landing, he had used his Mental Power to perceive this castle and had not discovered anything amiss; perhaps the so-called Curse did not exist at all.

A flash of disappointment crossed Valjisi's eyes, but he quickly recovered.

"No rush, it will be dark soon; after we have dinner, let us have a good night's rest, and we shall discuss it tomorrow!"

The two were talking as they walked, but rapid footsteps came from ahead.

"Lord Duke, you have finally returned!"

A young man wearing light armor ran over, his expression one of surprise, yet also tinged with anxiety.

"This is the castle's guard officer, Youlan Weisi; don't look at him as only thirty years old, he is already a Golden Knight, and his talent for cultivation is quite good."

Valjisi introduced him: "If you have any matters in the castle, you can look for him."

Aierlong nodded in greeting, and Youlan also bowed deeply; after offering his greetings, he said to Valjisi with an anxious face: "My Lord, Lord Paladelu has fallen ill! Your grandson, Young Master Jianuo, is also lying in bed with a fever!"

Valjisi had originally wanted to say something about matters in the castle, but he was struck dumb by these words.

Afterwards, he suddenly snapped to his senses: "Go, quickly, quickly take me to see them!"

He took a large stride forward, reaching dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye, but suddenly remembering Aierlong, he hurriedly turned back and said: "Mr. Aierlong, I must rely on you this time!"

"Let's go, I will accompany you to take a look."

The castle was large, but both were Level 8 Transcendental, and even though Aierlong was a Magician, his speed was not slow after casting Aurora Shadow.

The depths of the castle were currently shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

The nobles of the Jisitana Duchy all knew what the Duke's family was experiencing; if Paladelu and Jianuo also died, then only Valjisi would be left all alone.

Once the Duke also died, this Duchy would very likely be reclaimed by the Kingdom due to a lack of direct heirs.

Such a thing had almost never appeared in history.

Now that Paladelu and Jianuo had both fallen into a coma, the only one who could take charge was the Duke's daughter-in-law, Lady Shidaixi Luodesi.

She had invited the famous physician in the city, but after a round of bloodletting and feeding them medicine, there was no effect at all.

"I am also powerless."

The very hot-bodied Magician Nina Date shook her head with regret: "Although my Magic Potion can boost the spirit, I have no way to deal with this coma of theirs caused by unknown reasons."

Shidaixi's face was pale; could it be that her husband and son were also going to follow in the footsteps of her eldest brother-in-law's family?

Just as she was in despair, a tall figure burst in: "What is wrong with them?"

"Father, you have finally returned!"

Shidaixi felt as if she had found a straw to save her life, and Nina also gave a simple greeting to the Duke.

As soon as Valjisi entered, he saw the father and son unconscious on the bed, his expression grave, and then he turned to look at Aierlong nervously.

"Sir, I ask for your help!"

This scene immediately aroused the curiosity of Nina and the others; they could not help but look at Aierlong—why was this man who looked to be in his twenties or thirties so highly valued by the Duke?

Aierlong nodded slightly and came to the bedside.

As his Mental Power and Light Attribute elements condensed, a faint radiance spilled over the two people on the bed.

"Light Attribute, Magician?"

A look of astonishment flashed in Nina's eyes; she wondered in her heart when such a new face had appeared in the Auduin Kingdom.

Under the nervous and expectant gazes of Valjisi and the others, a faint black luster radiated from the bodies of Paladelu and Jianuo.

"It's effective!"

Valjisi felt his whole body trembling; he had invited many Magicians to treat them, including those with the Light Attribute, but none had produced such an effect.

A Magician, indeed, was different.

Aierlong frowned slightly, "On their bodies, I sense a special Supernatural Energy, somewhat similar to the power of witch souls, yet it carries an ample aura of death."

Valjisi's face sank, "Have aliens come to my castle?"

"Youlan!"

The guard officer walked into the room with large strides, "My Lord!"

"From now on, the castle is only allowed to enter, not to leave! Also, have the Knight Order stand guard!"

Youlan did not understand why, but he would not question it in the slightest and immediately went down to execute the order.

Aierlong withdrew the radiance and directly used the Level 8 Magic Evil Purification; he had used it to treat Lulansi's illness back then.

The powerful light of essence spilled onto Paladelu and Jianuo, and the Ziling Zhili on their bodies was evaporated inch by inch, dissipating into the air.

The two on the bed groaned, their eyeballs moved, and the effect was immediate.

Waerjisi and Stacy revealed looks of surprise and joy, especially the latter, who was almost moved to tears.

As the light dissipated, the magic time ended.

"How is the situation?" Waerjisi asked nervously.

Aierlong smiled slightly, "Rest assured, I have already purified the strange energy from their bodies, but they have been tortured for Along time and have lost quite a bit of blood, so they are extremely weak right now."

He could not help but sigh; the method of bloodletting treatment was no longer used in Wubei Territory, and he had not expected the Duke family to still believe in it.

"Have the kitchen prepare some meat broth or something similar to feed them and help them recover."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Waerjisi felt a sense of relief in his heart, and he was also very fortunate, fortunate that he had held a "try it and see" attitude when he approached Luoning in Golden Feather City.

If he had left Wangdu directly at that time, his son and grandson would likely have been lost again.

At this moment, Nina picked up the bottle on the table and asked: "Lord Mage, I wonder if this Spirit-Strengthening Potion of mine can be fed to them?"

Aierlong took it with some surprise: "A tonic?"

"No, this is a Magic Potion!"

Nina said somewhat proudly: "I concocted it using lotus flowers from the snow-capped mountains and Flame Grass, a specialty of the desert."

Waerjisi hurriedly introduced her, "Nina Date, just like you, is also a powerful Mage."

Aierlong hurriedly shook hands with her; according to Luoning's words, any High-level Transcendent was worth winning over.

"I am not very clear about the specific effects of the Spirit-Strengthening Potion, but I also have Magic Potions that use Flame Grass, and the medicinal effect is stimulating. Therefore, I suggest not using it on these two people who are so weak."

"You are also an alchemist?" Nina was somewhat surprised.

Waerjisi laughed: "Mr. Aierlong is not only a powerful Mage, but also an alchemist who can create special Magic Potions that enhance a Knight's strength and allow people to awaken."

Nina's eyes shone with brilliance; everything about Jisitana Duchy was good, except that there was no one to communicate with, but she was unwilling to go to Amethyst Count Territory.

"I didn't expect your attainments in Magic Potions to be so high!"

Nina tentatively asked: "I have many questions here; I wonder if it would be convenient for me to ask for your guidance?"

"Of course!"

Aierlong agreed without any hesitation, "However, I must wait until I have finished dealing with the Duke's affairs."

Although the father and son of Paladelu had been cured, if the root cause was not found, they would likely repeat the same mistakes.

In order to facilitate the cooperation between Wubei Territory and Jisitana Duchy, Aierlong naturally had to do his best to solve this matter perfectly.

"What would you like to do?"

Waerjisi asked, as he also deeply understood the importance of finding the root cause.

Aierlong frowned and thought for a moment, and only after Along while did he say: "There is no better way, so let's first gather everyone in the castle and check them one by one." (End of chapter)
