Chapter 557: Emissary of the Underworld
..
Matthew had just stepped onto the porch of the Main Hall when he heard Rheagar bragging about his " narrow escape " from purgatory.
He heard his energetic voice.
Matthew was relieved.
In the office, besides Rheagar and Zeller, there were also the two Construct Knights, Dulin and Asma.
However, their condition was worlds apart from Rheagar's.
Matthew saw them lying limply on the sofa. Although they had not taken off their weapons, they looked lazy, weak, and extremely lacking in energy.
It was as if they had been sucked dry.
"... All in all, I used some tricks to deceive that bad woman, Lutisia. Then, I spread false news and created a diversion. In the end, I successfully returned to the castle and saved Dulin and Asma.
"Under my command, Matthew has successfully obtained the Holy Grail of Sin, so this operation was a great success!"
Rheagar concluded in a refreshed manner.
Du Lin and Asma nodded weakly. The latter said gloomily,
"Other than the two of us almost being sucked dry by your sister, everything went smoothly."
Rheagar comforted him,
" Don't worry. I know you've suffered a lot of damage in this operation. I'll arrange for the best healer for you. He'll definitely be able to cure the Weakness Curse on you. I'll write a letter to the Watchers Highland in a while. He owes me a favour back then, so he'll definitely rush over."
Asma said weakly,
" He better come quickly. I'm starting to doubt whether that woman was telling the truth when she said that this curse would permanently deprive me of my fertility. Damn it, I can't feel my penis anymore… How about you?"
He poked Du Lin with his elbow.
Du Lin scolded softly,
"Idiot, I never had a penis."
Asma was stunned for a moment.
"Damn it, are you actually a hermaphrodite?"
Du Lin was furious.
"I'm your wife!
"What kind of human did you say I am?"
Seeing that the two were about to start fighting, Zeller raised his hand and cast a Slumber spell.
However, the two of them stared with wide eyes and did not look sleepy at all.
" Don't resist. You need to rest."
Zeller said gently.
The two of them hesitated for a moment before finally relaxing and closing their eyes.
"Other than the Weakness Curse, there are also traces of bewitching spells on their bodies, but that's not the worst."
Zeller went over to check on the two of them. His expression became a little strange.
"Rheagar, you better communicate with your sister."
Rheagar frowned.
"Lutisia? I don't want to see her again for the rest of my life. She's a real demon!"
Zeller said helplessly,
"But I'm afraid that the injuries that Du Lin and Asma suffered are not something that ordinary healers can cure.
" I don't know what method Lutisia used, but Asma's feeling was right. His penis is gone…"
Rheagar was shocked.
Matthew then realized that they had probably just returned from the Purgatory Teleportation Gate. There were many things that they had not confirmed with each other.
"What about Du Lin?"
Rheagar asked.
Zeller coughed heavily.
" I don't know if this is Lutisia's bad taste, but she seems to have exchanged some of the couple's organs through some ridiculous means. You should understand what I mean, right?"
The office fell silent.
Matthew couldn't help but ask,
"Rheagar, the Master Healer you mentioned, could he be a Great Druid?"
He noticed that Rhaegar had mentioned the name of the Watcher Highlands, which was the headquarters of the Druid Order.
Rheagar shook his head.
" She's not a Druid but a rare priest.
" The god she believed in had fallen in the Age of Enlightenment. But strangely, she could actually exchange her faith for divine spells and all kinds of incredible powers.
" However, this person is eccentric and rarely comes into contact with outsiders. I know that she lives in seclusion in Watcher Highland and has mastered powerful medical skills. Recently, Watcher Highland has not been very peaceful. Perhaps we have a chance to poach her to live in Rolling Stone Town.
"Treating Du Lin and Asma is a very good entry point."
Matthew nodded.
" But I'm afraid a priest can't solve this strange situation. It depends on Lutisia."
Rheagar looked troubled.
"Of course, I know.
"Then let's wait and see.
"After all, we just stole a burial item from our ancestor's cemetery. My plan is to return the Holy Grail of Sin after Sif has completed her awakening.
"If we do something nice later, maybe Lutisia will forgive us and take back the curse."
Matthew coughed heavily.
" There might be more than one burial item lost from the sacrificial room."
Rheagar's eyes widened.
Matthew quickly changed the topic.
" You didn't escape from Lutisia just because of the item in your hand, did you?"
Rheagar said truthfully,
" Of course, your teacher helped a lot. When I escaped, she seemed to have already started fighting with Lutisia."
Matthew asked,
"How's the situation?"
Rheagar shook his head.
" I don't know, I don't understand. It's a battle between a Legend and a Half-Legend. As an ordinary person, I would be lacking in respect if I took another glance at it. However, I only wanted to escape... No, I didn't want to burden Lady Margaret."
