"What business do you have here?"
Hearing Ling Jiu's question, Delia did not dare to be negligent and replied respectfully.
"Sir, we came to the Meteorite Forest to find the soul-reviving herb to treat my father. We heard the commotion here, so we rushed over."
Ling Jiu nodded slightly and asked, "What is the soul-reviving herb, Leoux?"
"According to the memory of Esbiak the Fire Dragon, it is a plant that can nourish the soul and repair soul injuries," Leoux replied.
"I see."
Ling Jiu nodded and looked at Delia. "Your father suffered a soul injury?"
"You have sharp eyes, Sir."
Delia confirmed Ling Jiu's guess.
"Have you found the soul-reviving herb?" Ling Jiu asked again.
Delia shook her head sadly. "The soul-reviving herb is a legendary herb. We have been searching for it in the Meteorite Forest for half a month, but there has been no news so far."
"There is no need to look for it. I can treat your father's injury," Ling Jiu said faintly.
Of course, he could not treat soul injuries, but Leoux could. Even reshaping the soul was not a problem.
Delia's body trembled violently. She suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, pleading, "Sir, please save my father.
"Sir, please save my father. Delia is willing to do anything to repay your kindness. I swear in the name of the God of Light!"
"You are a filial person."
Ling Jiu nodded slightly. "Lead the way."
"Thank you, Sir!"
Delia was overjoyed. She did not doubt Ling Jiu's words.
On one hand, the gap between them was too big, and Ling Jiu had no need to lie to her.
On the other hand, Ling Jiu was a Sacred. Was there anything in this world that a Sacred could not do?
Under Delia's lead, the group quickly left the Meteorite Forest and came to Mansfield City, which was located next to the Meteorite Forest.
Along the way, Ling Jiu also learned about Delia's identity.
Her father was the castellan of Mansfield City. Mansfield was located within the borders of the Radiant Empire, but it was located at the border of the Empire.
According to Delia, her family had a long history.
It was originally a famous Nine-tailed family on Auguland, with countless Nine-tailed warriors born in the family. But over the years, the Nine-tailed bloodline in the family withered, and no more Nine-tailed warriors were born.
The Nine-tailed Family gradually declined and finally fell to the border of the Radiant Empire, trapped in the small Mansfield City.
After a day of traveling, they soon arrived at Mansfield City.
This city couldn't be compared to the base cities on Earth. To put it nicely, it was a city, but to put it bluntly, it was just a small border town. The city was a few feet high, and the entire city was built halfway up a mountain.
After entering Mansfield City and arriving at the City Lord Residence, Ling Jiu saw the City Lord, who had been in a coma for nearly a month and was barely breathing.
Amanda Mansfield City!
Avatar's face was sallow and his brows were tightly furrowed. There was a black aura between his brows that refused to dissipate.
"Sir, please save my father!"
Delia knelt in front of Ling Jiu again, sobbing softly.
"Get up!"
Ling Jiu waved his hand and said, "It's all up to you, Leoux."
"This person's soul is severely injured. He should have been hit by some kind of curse or spiritual attack. However, this is nothing!"
As Leoux said casually, a black light shot out from Ling Jiu's wrist and wrapped around the terminally ill Avatar.
As the black light entered his body, the black aura on Avatar's face gradually dissipated like snow meeting warm water, and eventually disappeared completely.
Even Avatar's face gradually became ruddy, almost no different from a normal person.
"All right! The curse has been lifted. I also helped him repair his damaged soul and restore him to his peak level, "Leoux said with a smile.
"Thank you!"
Ling Jiu said.
"Moreover, I've also discovered something very interesting!"
Leoux said. "I told you before that I detected a very strange life fluctuation in Delia, right?"
"Yes!"
Ling Jiu nodded. "What's wrong?"
"This person named Avatar also has that strange life fluctuation, and it is even stronger than Delia's," Leoux said.
"I am now more and more certain that that kind of life may exist or have appeared on this planet before."
"What kind of life are you talking about?"
Ling Jiu was even more curious.
"It's a secret!"
Leoux kept Ling Jiu guessing again.
"Pfft!"
Ling Jiu snorted, a little dissatisfied with Leoux's behavior of keeping him guessing.
At this time, Avatar slowly woke up. When Delia saw this, she threw herself on Avatar and burst into tears.
During the period when her father was unconscious, this young girl had shouldered too much pressure. Not only did she have to calm the hearts of the people, but she also had to deal with the ambitious families in the city. This made her mentally and physically exhausted. Now that her father had woken up, the rain had finally passed.
"Daughter, don't cry!"
Avatar patted his daughter on the shoulder, and Delia calmed down. She smiled at Ling Jiu apologetically. "My Lord, I'm sorry."
"It's human nature!"
Ling Jiu waved his hand.
"Father, let me introduce you!"
Delia hurriedly introduced, "This is the lord who saved you!"
…
In order to express their gratitude for Ling Jiu's life-saving grace and to show that the City Lord had recovered, the City Lord Manor held a banquet and invited many big shots in the city.
Among them were the city's top officials and the patriarchs of the major families.
As a Sacred, Ling Jiu naturally sat at the head of the table, accepting Avatar's gratitude and many big shots' toasts.
"Lord Priest Kells is here!"
"Patriarch Holdan is here!"
At this moment, two loud voices rang out. A middle-aged fat man with a big belly and an old man in a divine robe walked in.
City Lord Avatar quickly greeted them. "Welcome, Lord Priest Kells and Patriarch Holdan. Please forgive me for not coming out to meet you."
"Haha, the recovery of the City Lord is the greatest joy in Mansfield. We should come to congratulate you!"
The big-bellied Patriarch Holdan said with a smile.
"Congratulations on your recovery, my Lord!"
Lord Priest Kells smiled.
"It's all thanks to the blessing of the God of Light!"
Avatar smiled and then motioned for the two to take a seat. The two came in front of Ling Jiu, and Patriarch Holdan pointed at Ling Jiu. "My Lord, is this the Sacred who saved you?"
"Yes!"
Avatar nodded slightly.
"It turns out to be the Sacred. Then I must pay my respects!"
Patriarch Holdan bowed slightly to Ling Jiu. "Thank you for saving my life, my Lord. Mansfield is grateful!"
"You're welcome!"
Ling Jiu took a sip of wine.
"My Lord, please forgive my poor eyesight for not recognizing you. I wonder if you can tell us your name so that we can remember it in our hearts? "
Patriarch Holdan suddenly said.
"You want to know my name?"
Ling Jiu glanced at him and shook his head. "You don't deserve it!"
Patriarch Holdan's eyelids twitched, but he did not dare to say anything because of the name of the Sacred. At this moment, Priest Kells suddenly said.
"The Sacred Realms of Auguland are all famous existences, and I am familiar with every single one of them. Why have I never seen you before? "
"You mean, I'm a fake?" Ling Jiu raised his eyebrows and said with a faint smile.
Hearing this, Delia's pretty face in the hall changed. She was about to interject when she heard Patriarch Holdan put on a fake smile.
"Sacred, which one of them is not high and mighty? Why would they come to a small city on the edge of the empire?"
"Besides, there's nothing else these days, but there are many wandering Mages who eat, drink, and cheat …"
