Frilian: The Adventure of the Hero

Chapter 97 A Pair of Delicate White Feet

"Let's skip the formalities."

"Mr. Shane, Ms. Frilian, Ms. Philen, Mr. Shutark, [Granat] will never forget this kindness."

"At the same time, the bounty will be as generous as possible to meet your expectations."

Before the shattered castle, the count and countess, their bodies wrapped in bandages, offered their sincere thanks.

Neither Shane nor Frilian refused.

Adventurers who put in the effort and resolved the crisis deserve their due reward.

This will encourage more adventurers to fight against the demons, and also make the saved cities more grateful and appreciative.

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

"We will stay in the city for a while to help everyone deal with the aftermath."

Although the Awula were successfully wiped out.

However, the villages and cities attacked by the demons still need time to rebuild, and the mysterious "bloodthirsty curse" also urgently needs to be resolved.

In the days that followed, everyone moved into the main city.

Shutark helps soldiers and workers rebuild the damaged walls and houses every day.

The warriors' brute strength greatly accelerated the progress.

Even marble that would normally require several workers to chisel was transformed into neat little cubes by a few strokes of Shutark's axe.

The Countess was seriously injured.

He should have stayed indoors to rest.

But she was worried about the people, so with Philon's help, she and the monks treated each of the injured people.

At the same time, they also checked one by one whether anyone had been affected by the [Bloodlust Curse].

During the treatment, Philon also imitated Shane and explained the importance of drinking hot water to everyone.

"Mr. Shane is a wise man. He said that drinking hot water is a tradition passed down from a great country. It can kill suspicious toxins, promote digestion, and improve physical health. Therefore, we should all drink more hot water from now on."

"it is good"

Shouts of approval erupted from the crowd.

The Countess looked at Philen with great affection.

far away.

Xia En looked at Philon with a somewhat speechless expression.

He was just making things up on the spot, just to coax her into developing the good habit of drinking hot water when she was little. He didn't expect that the girl would remember it so well.

at this time.

He was with Frilian, accompanying the Earl on a tour of the city.

They needed to check the stability of the city's perimeter and inspect the cleanup of water sources throughout the city.

Frillie gazed at the faintly shimmering barrier above the city, a hint of reminiscence flickering in her eyes—

"This barrier was just a little experiment she started out of interest, I never thought it would last for a thousand years," Frilian quipped. "That girl always likes to do some weird things, but as it turns out, she's always right."

"How annoying."

Shaun smiled and looked at Frilian.

She always said that Vlame was a terrible master, a very annoying guy.

But Xia En could clearly see in her eyes the emotions that still flowed across the river of time.

This white-haired elf, with her contradictory manner, is just as bad as Philon during her rebellious phase.

Following Frilian's gaze, he also looked up at the [barrier].

Vlamé truly deserves to be called one of the most brilliant human geniuses.

Creating magic that transcends millennia is no easy feat.

Simultaneously.

He also thought of the mad sage Xia Er, just like the [Millennium Barrier] that protects this city.

In the eyes of that Sage Charles, was he also "created" by him, another "Millennial Barrier" to protect humanity?

At last.

The three of them came together to the main river, which was the most polluted.

Here, the water flow to the main city has been cut off by a sluice gate, and you can still see a lot of black venom residue in the river.

The monks in the city have already collected samples and are working day and night to analyze them, trying to create a corresponding antidote or find a goddess's magic that can purify the venom.

However, at Shane's request, an extra-large water gate has already been built here.

It was placed in front of the sluice gate that cut off the water flow.

The fence is made of the finest wood, with closely spaced lattice bars that achieve a "fine" appearance without obstructing the flow of water as much as possible.

This is an important attempt to break the curse.

If successful, it will buy the monks more time to develop an antidote.

Walk to the water barrier.

Xia En took out the water bag from his waist.

This water bag has a green enchantment attribute: [Water Purification (Green Excellent)].

Eight years ago, in the Ghost Bunker, he almost used this water bag to fill the pool of water containing the Poison Dragon. At that time, he wondered if this entry could remove the evil energy of the Poison Dragon.

Now, it's time to verify.

Of course, this verification was risky, as it was his first attempt to use [entries] to combat [curses].

Although his upgraded mental strength was more than enough to support the operation of the entry, he was unsure whether such operation would have any backlash.

Just to be on the safe side, he was followed by a small group of monks, who also carried various healing potions.

Meanwhile, Frillian was beside him, ready to smash the fence and stop his attempt, thus protecting his safety.

With these multiple layers of insurance in place, Shane took a deep breath.

He took a small step forward.

With a thought, he concentrated his mental energy, and a pale green dot appeared on the water bag. Then, under his control, it floated lightly onto the huge fence in front of him.

The already worn-out water bag instantly disintegrated and disappeared.

A dim green light flashed across the otherwise ordinary fence.

Then, a miraculous scene unfolded.

The black asphalt-like venom that was originally stuck to the fence vanished instantly with a hiss, as if evaporated by the high temperature.

efficient!

Xia En gripped the bag at his waist tightly.

There were also quite a few beans with the keyword "water purification" in them, which he had recently stockpiled.

The pile of junk collected in the Red Mirror Dragon's lair actually yielded a lot of quite useful [items].

But just then...

Strange phenomena suddenly occurred.

Xia En felt his mental energy being rapidly drained away!

As expected, his caution was justified!

The operation on the entry has been completed, and theoretically, his mental energy should no longer be consumed.

However, for some inexplicable reason, now, every time the [Water Purification] skill purifies the curse toxins, it is rapidly draining his mental energy.

"Um----"

Shane felt a wave of dizziness.

Seeing Shane's unusual behavior, Frilian immediately raised her staff and unleashed an attack spell without hesitation, shattering the water barrier.

In the last second before Xia En fainted, some blurry images flashed through her mind—a large, golden tree with a canopy that blocked out the sun. Warm sunlight filtered through the treetops, casting dappled patterns on the ground. Several ribbons of light, like veils, hung from the branches, fluttering in the wind.

The scene is soft and serene.

Xia En stood under the tree, and in front of her were a pair of delicate, white feet swaying back and forth.

He tried to look up at the owner of his feet, but a cloud of white mist swept in, and the scene abruptly ended—
