Rosie's Games

Chapter 322: Changes of the Beasts

"What is going on?" Rosalind immediately asked one of the staff members. Mathies was not there to welcome 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 mercenary groups who need medical assistance. Sir Mathies and the rest are currently helping them out."

"Mercenary groups?"

"The tide. It's the tide. The beasts suddenly attacked Aster."

"But it— the sun is still up, no?" Rosalind came 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 come here during the day?

Rosalind's heart started racing. Was it possible that it was… it was because the relic changed the moment she held it?

"Miss Lin!" Mr. Pratt opened the door. "You are here."

"Did something happen?"

"Please accompany me to the infirmary. We have a few mercenaries and some merchants 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 become like this?" Rosalind asked.

"Miss Lin is here!"

"Miss Lin is here!"

She heard the mercenaries whisper to each other when she walked in. Since she had helped them with the plague, many people already knew her. Her arrival seemed to dampen the chaos of the place. Whispers of her name 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 me to the one who received the most critical wound," Rosalind said.

Almost immediately, she started healing the mercenaries and merchants alike who receive any wounds. Meanwhile, 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 came into this world, this was the first time that she had done something 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. Montgomery bowed at Rosalind. "Me cannot thank you enough for helping us this time." 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 seemed to have a lot of food around. She was not sure if this was something normal but she was definitely thankful for it.

"Then please give me gold coins," Rosalind's words made the room silent. Times 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 immediately pushed the thought out of her head.

"Of course…" Mr. Montgomery smiled. It was as if he already expected this to happen. "Me 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. Montgomery sighed. "Me have never seen something 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 something is drawing them to the city. They are like moths attracted to the flame. They tore down everything in their path, trees, boulders, and even their own kind. How could someone turn so wild?" Mr. Pratt asked. "Miss Lin, you must tell us if you know something…"

"Pratt—"

"No Father. This is simply different from the past. I want to know why the beasts came 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 come 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 came 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 meant. Right now, she immediately 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 become 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 came with a panicked look on his face. "You must come! There is something…"

"What? Speak clearly!?" Mr. Pratt asked.

"There is a special guest… at the auction."

"A special guest?" Mr. Pratt frowned. "At a time like this?" There was a war going on and someone would actually dare to come here during the auction for tonight? In fact, Mr. Pratt no longer wanted to continue the auction because of the sudden changes today. josei

However, he had already sent out invitations to some 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. Montgomery said.

"It was His Blessedness…" the staff said. "His Blessedness Federico Lux is here to join the auction!"
