The hero I support will definitely defeat the devil

Shiriya handed the communicator to Olivia who was lazily drinking.

Olivia listened to Lisha's words and showed an interested expression on her face.

"A golden assassin? This is no small feat. Okay, I allow it. Bring her back. I will provide her with temporary shelter."

Olivia was intrigued.

Especially for the identity of a young girl.

After all, the fact that a golden assassin was dispatched to silence the witness proves that the girl’s identity is not simple.

But Olivia hadn't heard of any kingdom fighting for the throne recently, nor had she heard of any important figures being hunted down.

With Olivia's approval, Lisha and Merilu returned to Dragon's Breath with the girl and Bestie.

The reason why I brought Bestie along was because I was afraid that Bestie would be in danger if she stayed there.

The store was also temporarily closed by Bestie.

Using the truck as cover, the girl and the golden-rank assassin who was not yet dead were brought to Dragon's Breath.

When Olivia saw the golden assassin in Lisha's hand, she lost interest after just one glance.

It is the Adventurer's Guild's job to investigate this guy's background.

When she saw the girl in Meililu's arms, she was obviously stunned for a moment.

"Sister Olivia, do you know her?"

Lisha asked curiously.

When she came back, she also felt the power in the girl's body.

The girl is definitely a gem-level professional.

Therefore, Lisha was also very curious about what kind of organization was hunting down a powerful gem-level warrior, and was able to hunt him down into this state.

"We know each other, of course we know each other."

Olivia felt the coincidence of fate for the first time in a long time.

"The little one in Meililu's arms is the little princess of the mermaid clan, and also the youngest child of the mermaid queen."

"What?!!"*N

Everyone present exclaimed.

Perhaps only Freya, who was still in the kitchen, did not show any surprise.

However, Freya always had a blank expression on her face.

"If I remember correctly, I heard the news a few days ago that the little princess of the mermaid clan was attacked and seriously injured by members of the Demon King's Cult at the Adventurer's Guild headquarters."

Olivia's expression became more serious.

What happened?

The little princess of the mermaid clan could not trust the Adventurer's Guild headquarters and fled alone.

Could it be that something big went wrong at the Adventurer's Guild headquarters?

Chapter 455: Powerful Curse

"Put her down, I'll take a look at her first."

Olivia asked Merilu to put the girl on the table nearby.

At this time, except for them, the internal staff, all outsiders of Dragon's Breath had left.

It was Olivia who made all those guests leave.

After all, there are many people around and it would be bad if someone saw the girl and caused an accident.

I didn't expect that this step was actually done right.

The person that Meryl brought back was the Mermaid Queen's youngest daughter, Merris, and she was being hunted and was on the verge of death.

"I treated her and used a dispel spell on the way here, but it had no effect."

Meililu briefly explained the process of her treatment.

"It's only natural that it won't work."

Olivia said to Merilu without even looking up.

"A curse of this level is beyond your control, not to mention you. Even the Archbishop of the Church of Life would be helpless."

Olivia carefully examined the girl's wounds.

"Instead of wondering why the curse on her cannot be removed, you should think about why she is still alive despite such serious injuries."

Olivia, who had a similar sense, couldn't help but sigh when she saw the girl's body full of wounds.

"Is it serious?"

Lisha was surprised.

"Don't assume that everyone's recovery ability is the same as yours."

Ilsa subconsciously complained about Lisha.

Is it possible for an ordinary professional to achieve Lisha's recovery ability that surpasses that of monsters?

"No, I mean, she is a Gem-level professional, right? Although such an injury is serious, it is far from serious for a Gem-level professional, let alone fatal."

What Lisha said actually made sense. Not to mention the gem-level professionals, even the gold-level magic professionals actually had exaggerated physiques. However, compared to the physical improvements of the warrior professionals, their improvements were more in the spiritual aspects that were not outwardly apparent.

Moreover, for the Gold Level, the heart is not a vital part. Unless one is beheaded and the head is completely destroyed, even if only a head is left, as long as one can escape alive, the Gold Level may be able to survive with the help of potions and the priest's treatment.

Of course, the cost of surviving in this way is also enormous, and after recovering, the strength will decline significantly. It will take a long time to return to the peak, and it is even possible that no further progress will be made until death.

As for escaping, mages are well versed in this, especially mages who know how to teleport. Even if they are cut in half, as long as the upper body can use the teleportation spell to escape, they can survive and then find a way to recover their body.

Lisha didn't know what the girl's profession was, but she could feel that the girl herself was actually not weak.

If she was a magician when she was a girl, then the possibility of her surviving with a broken leg is actually not small.

But no matter what, such injuries are not fatal to the Gem Stage.

“Lisha is right. Gem-class professionals, even mages, are not weak at all. Even ranged professionals like rangers are very strong. Such injuries are far from fatal.”

Angelina nodded in agreement.

As someone who has seen many battle scenes of Gem-level professionals, Angela knows what kind of monsters even Gem-level professionals are.

Even those professionals who were called fake gem-level professionals were undoubtedly powerful.

As for recovery, except for those who seem to be cheating like Lisha, most professionals who have reached the gold level have recovery abilities that are basically like having a passive ability of slow blood recovery, and they recover quickly.

The Gem Stage goes a step further and can even regenerate severed limbs with the help of potions.

"Is it because of the curse?"

Ai Lan looked at the girl lying on the table and felt uncomfortable.

As an elf, he is very sensitive to negative forces such as curses.

The curse on the girl had reached a level that made Ai Lan feel terrified when she approached.

Moreover, unlike the special disaster curses on Lisha and Ilsa, the curses on the girl were all man-made malice. After several powerful curses erupted at the same time, they not only did not consume each other, but merged together to form a new, unknown and powerful curse.

The known effects of this curse include preventing recovery, weakening the spirit and will, continuously consuming magic power, and instilling negative emotions.

It can be said that these known effects alone are enough to give Olivia a headache.

And there was no way Olivia wouldn't save the girl.

After all, the girl is the youngest daughter of the Mermaid Queen, and she escaped from the Adventurer's Guild headquarters.

If she died in Baishi Town, the mermaid clan would have a hard time explaining themselves. By then, their morale would be low. Even if the mermaid clan continued to cooperate with the Adventurer's Guild to fight the Demon King, they would still be scheming against each other while fighting the Demon King, and ultimately a lot of their energy would be wasted on these useless things.

Olivia now seriously doubted that the Demon King Cult had played a role in Meris's escape from the Adventurer's Guild. After all, this was one of their usual tricks.

First, find a way to destroy a small or medium-sized force that has connections with all major forces, then deliberately let one or two survivors escape, and then use undercover agents to inadvertently leak some evidence to prove that it was done by a major force.

And just like that, chaos naturally arises.

The various forces that do not trust each other very much will naturally fight each other because of various suspicions and targeting, and then the members of the Demon King's sect will be able to fish in troubled waters.

This is not the first or second time that the Adventurer's Guild has been slandered.

It can only be said that there is a reason why the Adventurer's Guild has been exterminating the Demon King's Sect for thousands of years.

"If it weren't for this powerful fusion curse, she would have started to recover and woken up long ago. But now, if she doesn't recover and replenish her nutrition, I'm afraid she will die of excessive weakness sooner or later."

Olivia tried it a little and found that she was still not very good at dealing with curses.

"Can you let me try?"

Xilu, who had just come downstairs for a while, roughly understood what had happened and said something to Olivia.

"can."

Olivia didn't think a bard could do anything about it.

Although the bard is known as a jack of all trades and a jack of all trades, many professionals know that the bard profession is not as powerful as imagined.

Bards have healing abilities, but the effect is not as good as that of priests and some special mage professions, and may not even be as good as the self-recovery of some powerful warriors.

As for Xilu's desire to try, Olivia felt that there was no other way and she might as well give it a try.

Xilu picked up her harp and plucked the strings.

Along with the melodious music, the girl's complexion improved a little.

The curse has indeed been reduced a little.

A little bit literally.

Chapter 456: Awakening

"No way."

Xilu stopped playing with a pale face.

"My current strength is not enough to cure her."

Xilu's performance was indeed effective, but because Xilu was only at the Silver level, the healing effect was not very good. Moreover, with the limited magic power of the bard, he could not continue the healing for too long.

“Sister Olivia, can you wake her up?”

Lisha stared at the aqua-blue film on the girl's wound and the pendant on her neck and asked thoughtfully.

"I can force her to wake up, but that won't solve the problem. She'll fall into a coma again in a few minutes."

Olivia shook her head, thinking that Lisha's actions were useless.

"I think the reason she didn't die is because the pendant is supporting her. If we wake her up and let her use the pendant actively, maybe she can recover."

Lisha explained to Olivia.

"Hmm... maybe we can give it a try."

Olivia looked at the pendant around the girl's neck.

She could also go to the Archbishop of the Church of Life or someone from the Adventurer's Guild for help.

But because of the Demon King Cult, Olivia was reluctant to ask these two forces for help, otherwise it was very likely that the girl would die from her injuries the moment she was sent over. After all, with the girl's current injuries, she could die at any time, and the Demon King Cult didn't even need to do anything, just delay the girl's treatment.

The major forces in Endrol are still too large, especially the ancient behemoths such as the churches and the Adventurer's Guild, whose members are a mixed bag with all kinds of people.

"Meililu, get ready. I'm going to use a relatively intense method to wake her up. You are responsible for calming her mind."

Olivia turned around and said to Merilu, whose magic power was greatly depleted.

"Well, I'll pay attention."

As Merilulu spoke, she picked up the dragon horn staff and stared at the girl intently.

Olivia began to use some more taboo awakening techniques.

This technique is very effective. Even a person who is on the verge of death can be forced to wake up for a full minute.

As the awakening ritual took effect, the girl began to make painful sounds.
