"What is going on?" Rosalind imdiately asked one of the staff mbers. Mathies was not there to welco her so she had to walk towards Mr. Pratt's office with only Magda beside her.
"Miss Lin, it's good to see you here. There are rcenary groups who need dical assistance. Sir Mathies and the rest are currently helping them out."
"rcenary groups?"
"The tide. It's the tide. The beasts suddenly attacked Aster."
"But it the sun is still up, no?" Rosalind ca here because she wanted to collect supplies and then watch the tide that should start that night. The beasts only attack during the night. Even in Wugari and Rakha, that had always been the case. Why would they co here during the day?
Rosalind's heart started racing. Was it possible that it was it was because the relic changed the mont she held it?
"Miss Lin!" Mr. Pratt opened the door. "You are here."
"Did sothing happen?"
"Please accompany to the infirmary. We have a few rcenaries and so rchants who were attacked by the beasts."
"In the middle of the day?"
Mr. Pratt had a grave look on his face. He nodded and the three of them started walking toward the infirmary.
"This" Even Magda, who was wearing a skin mask to hide her face, was shocked to see so many people inside the small infirmary.
"How did it beco like this?" Rosalind asked.
"Miss Lin is here!"
"Miss Lin is here!"
She heard the rcenaries whisper to each other when she walked in. Since she had helped them with the plague, many people already knew her. Her arrival seed to dampen the chaos of the place. Whispers of her na filled the room as everyone looked at her.
Rosalind pursed her lips. Without saying another word, she moved the sleeves of her robe higher, showing her porcelain-like skin.
"Bring to the one who received the most critical wound," Rosalind said.
Almost imdiately, she started healing the rcenaries and rchants alike who receive any wounds. anwhile, Magda stood behind her without saying a word.
When Rosalind finished, it was already midnight, her strength was nearly depleted and she was having a headache from using her light blessing too much. Since she ca into this world, this was the first ti that she had done sothing like this.
In the end, Rosalind was not able to stop herself from healing these people as she herself knew that it was her that caused the tide.
"Miss Lin!" Mr. Montgory bowed at Rosalind. " cannot thank you enough for helping us this ti." They were now back in Mr. Pratt's room. Currently, Rosalind was enjoying her dinner a very late one.
Using her ability too much caused her to be hungry. Luckily, Mr. Pratt seed to have a lot of food around. She was not sure if this was sothing normal but she was definitely thankful for it.
"Then please give gold coins," Rosalind's words made the room silent. Tis had really changed. She could no longer use her knowledge to help herself out. All she could do was rely on was the power of gold coins and perhaps Lucas.
She shook her head and imdiately pushed the thought out of her head.
"Of course" Mr. Montgory smiled. It was as if he already expected this to happen. " am going to prepare everything and give it to you before you leave. However, Miss Lin there are other people that"
"There is no need to worry, I will be coming back tomorrow night to help out," Rosalind said.
"Since the beast's appearance increased, panic has engulfed the Aster Empire," Mr. Pratt said. "The The new Saintess does not actually heal the ones who receive wounds so it was only left to Their Blessedness Martin and Federico Lux. However, how could the old Federico Lux heal people? It was only Martin, and obviously, he was clearly outnumbered by the wounded people that kept on arriving." Mr. Pratt had a downcast appearance.
"The fact that the beasts attacked when there is the sun is " Mr. Montgory sighed. " have never seen sothing like this in the past."
"The beast's rampage was unheard of. It was madness. The ones who witnessed it spoke of of beasts eating their own. It seems that sothing is drawing them to the city. They are like moths attracted to the fla. They tore down everything in their path, trees, boulders, and even their own kind. How could soone turn so wild?" Mr. Pratt asked. "Miss Lin, you must tell us if you know sothing"
"Pratt"
"No Father. This is simply different from the past. I want to know why the beasts ca here. The intensity of the attack is different from the others. I want to trust the other Blessed Families, but this is different. The others have yet to co to help out. The night has fallen and by now the beasts are already attacking Aster at their full force. I want to know will Aster survive this tragedy?"
"Miss Lin, please do not mind his words. It is just this ca as a surprise to everyone. The behavior of the beasts changed. Nothing is certain anymore."
Rosalind nodded without saying a word. She knew exactly what they ant. Right now, she imdiately wanted to investigate everything. She wanted to know what was going on.
Was it possible that she was the one who caused this? Did the relic really beco stronger because she touched it?
After she finished her food, she gave Mr. Pratt a list of the things that she needed for her upcoming trip to the Howling Mountains. She also told them that she would be very busy for the next month and will not be able to visit for a while.
"Leader! Mr. Pratt!" The conversation was interrupted when one of the attendants ca with a panicked look on his face. "You must co! There is sothing"
"What? Speak clearly!?" Mr. Pratt asked.
"There is a special guest at the auction."
"A special guest?" Mr. Pratt frowned. "At a ti like this?" There was a war going on and soone would actually dare to co here during the auction for tonight? In fact, Mr. Pratt no longer wanted to continue the auction because of the sudden changes today.
However, he had already sent out invitations to so important people who might be interested to join the auction. Along with it was a list of the things that will be included.
"Who is it?" Mr. Montgory said.
"It was His Blessedness" the staff said. "His Blessedness Federico Lux is here to join the auction!"
