Early in the morning, when the sky outside gradually brightened, Athir walked out of the room and headed towards the distance under the guidance of some guards.
The atmosphere in the inner city was grim. In the past few days, as the actions of the lizardmen outside the city became more frequent, the atmosphere in the city became more and more tense.
If Yadra hadn't been alive, and if Athir hadn't been there too, the situation would probably have been chaotic by now.
"It's a pity that we still have to do this in the end."
Sitting in the carriage, looking at the scenery outside through the gap, Athir couldn't help but sigh.
After a while, led by a guard, Athir came to another manor and walked down directly.
Seeing Athir coming, the guards outside did not stop him, but let Athir in respectfully.
Walking all the way inside, in a room, Athir saw a figure.
That was Yadra, who was now slumped in bed, looking like he was sleeping soundly.
Compared with before, his body became somewhat horrible. Not only did his skin turn black, but his body was also filled with a foul odor, as if it was carrying some kind of severe pollution.
In his current state, an ordinary person would probably faint if they stood next to him for a while.
"How is it going?"
Walking into the room and looking at Yadra's appearance, Athir asked a blue-robed wizard beside him.
This was a third-class apprentice in a blue robe. He looked quite old. When he heard Athir's question, he turned around and said, "The situation is very serious. We have tested it several times before. The poison that Lord Yadra was infected with should have spread from the Dark Wizard Alliance. The toxin in it is difficult to remove and it is easy to cause secondary infection."
"We have tried all the conventional methods during this period, but none of them worked. We have no choice but to ask Master Athir to come and try."
"I'll try my best." Nodding slightly, Athir walked forward.
Seeing Athir's actions, the people around him retreated one after another, leaving only a few wizards still standing in the room, led by the third-class apprentice in blue robe, who was watching Athir's actions at this time.
Athir didn't care about their gazes, he just turned around and looked at Yadra lying on the wooden bed.
After roughly checking the other party's condition, Atier understood.
In fact, Athir contributed a lot to the fact that Yadra became what it is now.
After signing the contract and joining the Dark Wizard Alliance, Jim and Korula did not ask him to leave the Emerald Hand immediately. Instead, they asked him to return to the Emerald Hand as an Emerald Hand wizard to cooperate with the Dark Wizard Alliance to perform a special mission.
But in this way, things are back to square one again.
In order to complete the mission assigned to Athir by the Emerald Hand, Yadra still has to be killed.
So a few days ago, taking advantage of an opportunity, Athir did something to the other party, making the other party's injuries worse, and finally turned into this state.
In fact, it was impossible for Yadra to completely trust Athir. After being injured, he reacted quickly and immediately hid in some secluded place so that Athir could not find him.
However, in order to stabilize the situation in the city and reassure the various families, he would show up every once in a while to prove that he was still alive.
This gave Athir the opportunity to take action.
Even if he is a formal wizard, once he is seriously injured and cannot use his magic power, his combat effectiveness will not be very strong. It is still a question whether he can defeat a third-class apprentice, let alone another formal wizard.
Of course, out of caution, Athir did not kill the opponent immediately, but pretended that the poison had erupted in the opponent's body.
"From the looks of it, it will probably be in these few days."
After carefully examining Yadra's physical condition, Athir thought to himself, then walked to the side, took out a few bottles of medicine that had been prepared long ago and placed them on the wooden table.
After speaking a few words to the third-class apprentice in a blue robe, Atier walked out and quickly returned to his manor.
For a period of time afterwards, Athir did not leave, but quietly studied some things in the laboratory.
Half a month later.
"You seem to be recovering well."
In the spacious laboratory, Athir said casually while looking at the little girl standing beside him.
Standing next to him at this time was the girl who was once brought back by Thor. After being suppressed by Athir's surgery, she finally woke up during this period.
"I can now walk normally..."
Looking at Athir, Yana spoke softly, her voice sounding very weak.
Compared with her previous appearance when the curse erupted, she was now wearing a light white dress. The black marks that had originally permeated her body had completely disappeared. She looked gentle and peaceful, and with the long hair behind her, although she did not look beautiful, she had a unique temperament.
However, the black mark on her forehead still existed, but it was not very noticeable and had become much lighter than before.
There was a sound of footsteps coming from outside.
Outside the door, Thor walked in and said, "Lord Athir, the person who went out to gather information is back. Lord Yadra did not show up today. It is said that the Lord's daughter is sick and he is accompanying her."
"Really?"
Putting down the things in his hands, Athir couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after listening to Thor's words. His expression didn't change at all. He just raised his head silently and said, "It seems like it's time to leave."
After being attacked by the dark wizard, in order to reassure the people in the city, Yadra insisted on showing up every once in a while. Now that she hasn't come out after such a long time, the result is naturally self-evident.
Thinking of this, Athir couldn't help but sigh: "The situation in this area is becoming more and more chaotic. It seems that we must make more preparations."
He looked at Thor beside him and thought silently in his heart.
The next morning, when the sun shone on the earth, Athir and his group had already started to leave.
"Lord Athir, what does the Emerald City look like?"
In the carriage, Yana looked at Athir with some curiosity: "I heard that it's very beautiful there."
"That's the headquarters of the Emerald Hand. Of course it's beautiful."
Looking at the little girl, Athir smiled and said, "But this time, don't follow me."
"Lord Athir, what's wrong?"
On the side, Thor interjected, looking a little worried.
"There might be a small accident, and it's not convenient for you to follow."
Athir said calmly: "I will find a safe place to put you down. During this time, you will stay there. I will come to find you after this is over."
"By then, I will find a way to solve your problems."
"Yes." Thor nodded silently and looked at Athir with some worry in his eyes.
The carriage continued on its way until it stopped somewhere three days later.
This is a small town that looks very peaceful. It is located in a very remote area and the land is very barren. However, there does not seem to be much conflict and it has not been affected by the war outside.
"This place is very remote, and wizards are not usually seen here."
Sitting there, Athir looked at the town in the distance and said to Thor, "With your strength, there won't be much danger in this place. Just stay here for the time being."
Listening to Athir's words, Thor nodded silently.
Although he looked very embarrassed before, in fact, because of the blood in his body, Thor's strength was not weak. If he used his abilities to the fullest, he would have no problem dealing with ordinary knights. It was enough in this remote town.
After thinking about it, Athir took out a purse and threw it to them, then turned around and walked in another direction.
He first came to a nearby city and arrived at the Emerald Hand's branch before quickly rushing back to the Emerald Hand's headquarters.
·················
Half a month later.
At noon, at the headquarters of the Emerald Hand, a giant red bird slowly landed, and then a young man in a white robe walked down from it.
"Welcome back." A voice sounded from the front.
In front, Maddow was already waiting there: "You came back much slower than I expected."
"I can't help it. Something happened in the middle and it delayed me for a while."
Stepping down from the giant bird's back and looking at Maiduo in front of him, Athir's expression remained unchanged and he asked directly, "How is the academy doing recently?"
