Chapter 52: Death Message
update icon Updated at 2025/10/14 15:10:12

"This... this... this is a bit..."

All the orcs and elves, regardless of gender, covered their ears at the same moment, looking terrified.

The uniformity of their actions made me suspect if this was a default action provided by the system.

Well, that's impossible.

"Um... um... the ears are the sensitive parts of our elves and orcs, so..."

Eli explained while continuously stepping back.

"Uh..."

Ms. Mary looked disappointed and then looked at Aliyah.

"Forget about it!"

Aliyah covered her own hat, apparently to prevent Ms. Mary from touching her wolf ears.

Poor Aliyah, it must be tough.

"Since you all have received the experience reward, hurry up and leave. We still need to return to Po Tian City. Otherwise, people will suspect that we ran away after doing something shameful," I messaged.

"Yes, yes, yes~"

"Well, let's forget about it then," Ms. Mary said helplessly, then turned and walked towards the airship.

"Take care, I hope we have the chance to meet again in the future," I said to the orcs and elves.

"Well... if it's just you... you're still welcome to be our guests!" Eli suddenly said.

"Eli! This..." Another elf next to her wanted to say something, but Eli shook her head at her.

"Just say that you're my friend when the time comes."

"Haha, you're also welcome to visit our lion people's territory! But you need to avoid your own human monitoring," a lion person said.

"We cat people also welcome you!"

"We fox people too..."

All the orcs said the same thing.

Could it be that my affinity with both races has increased?

"Alright, we will come if we have the chance," I responded with a smile.

----------------------------------------Back in the city----------------------------------------

When we returned to Po Tian City, there were no longer any flames visible in the city, but the black smoke from the burning was still lingering.

We flew the airship directly behind the mountains of Po Tian City using optical camouflage and then disembarked, heading towards the city.

Inside the city, most of the buildings had already been destroyed and dozens of soldiers were dealing with the collapsed structures.

Some guards glanced at us and then continued with their own tasks.

"It seems like they no longer have the spare time to pay attention to us..."

"Yeah..."

Bai Yueguang and I sighed, and then our group continued to walk straight towards the direction of the academy.

Not long after we started walking, we saw Bai Xiangtian running past us in a hurry.

"Bai Xiangtian!"

I hurriedly called out.

"Huh? Oh, it's you guys."

He stopped in his tracks, turned around, and ran towards us.

"The dean was wondering why he couldn't find you. Where did you guys go?"

"We chased after some escaping enemies and left Po Tian City, and we got separated. We just gathered back together a while ago," I explained loudly to make sure everyone's testimony matched.

"I see. Ah, this time there were indeed too many powerful enemies. As long as you're alright," Bai Xiangtian said.

Bai Xiangtian nodded.

"I have to go help heal those injured people."

Speaking of which, she was carrying something on her back, probably healing equipment.

"Well, I can help."

I smiled.

"I know healing magic."

"I didn't remember until you mentioned it! Well, come with me then."

Bai Xiangtian nodded.

"I'll follow my brother too!"

Oyado also said.

"..."

And Pure White standing behind me clearly indicated that she wanted to come along as well.

"Hmph!"

Aliyah on the other side snorted in dissatisfaction.

You don't have healing skills, so coming here is pointless.

"Then let's go to the Heavenly Veil Academy first and we'll contact you later."

Ms. Mary nodded.

"Roger."

After I finished speaking, I looked at Bai Xiangtian.

"Let's go."

"Yes."

Then we began walking towards our destination along the street.

"How many injured people are there?"

"There are about 3,000 injured people, and the critically injured citizens have been sent to the medical college at our academy. The entire medical college is now full."

"I see..."

Perfect, I can practice my group healing magic. Speaking of which, I rarely use healing magic in battles since I usually don't spread my wings. It's not as thrilling, and it's not a good thing for too many people to know that I can use healing magic.

But after all this time, I have used healing magic quite a lot outside, and nothing has happened. It seems that Yabber has taken care of things well with the church.

As long as nothing goes wrong.

"We're here."

Bai Xiangtian pointed to a relatively intact building ahead, which looked like an inn from the outside.

From the outside, people could be seen constantly bringing things inside, probably healing potions.

We pushed the door open and saw injured people everywhere.

"Bai! Why did you just arrive!"

Someone suddenly shouted from the side, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Senben.

"Well, Senben."

"Huh? Isn't this Fir? Why are you here?"

"I know healing magic, so I came."

"Healing magic?"

"Yeah."

As I spoke, I looked at several injured citizens beside me, then reached out my hand and several white rings appeared above them, surrounding their bodies.

[Group Recovery Magic]!

The wounds on the five people covered by the white rings began to heal rapidly, and in less than 30 seconds, their injuries were completely healed.

They looked at their conditions in amazement, then stood up from the ground.

"Oh my god! What is...what is this?"

Those citizens looked in astonishment at the places where their wounds had been before and then looked at me.

"This is amazing, young man, how did you do it!"

"Yeah, this is...a miracle!"

Seeing their expressions, I looked at Bai Xiangtian with confusion.

"Bai Xiangtian, why are they so surprised? Don't you have this kind of fast-healing healing magic in the Eastern Continent?"

"No..."

Bai Xiangtian shook her head.

"We all recovered by relying on our own healing abilities. Some very strong people can even accelerate healing using the energy within their bodies, healing instantaneously. But ordinary people can't do that... or it could be through medicine. However, the fast healing medicines we have in the Eastern Continent are all imported. The ones produced in the Eastern Continent only slightly accelerate the recovery speed."

I see. That's why the martial arts in the Eastern Continent are so powerful but they don't directly attack the Western Continent. The support occupations in the Western Continent can drive them crazy. And after the Church mastered this power, it greatly consolidated their position in the Western Continent.

I see. So this is how the chain of interests works.

Looking around, everyone was looking at me with expectations in their eyes. I thought for a moment and then said,

"In short, let me take care of those with more serious injuries first, to prevent them from worsening."

"Okay... okay."

Bai Xiangtian nodded and then organized the citizens.

"Everyone heard that, those with serious injuries come forward, in order."

As she spoke, I opened my item bar and moved all the healing potions to the top.

Well~ even though there are no potions for sale here, there's an airship. I can just go back to the academy to restock and fly back.

Magic stones? It's not worth mentioning compared to experience.

In the next few tens of minutes, countless white lights shimmered in the room, and my proficiency in healing magic continued to increase.

Healing magic only has the Light path, so I can only use it this many times.

You can't just stab yourself and then use healing magic on yourself.

Ding!

Arcane·Divine Descend Awakened

Specify ten units for healing, forcibly restoring 100 health points per second, consuming 50 mana points per second.

Ding!

Arcane·Angel's Aura Awakened

Specify one unit, restore full health and add 3 seconds of invincibility, consuming 500 mana points.

Ding!

Great Arcane·God's Descent·God's Blessing Illumination Awakened

Specify a space with a diameter of 100 meters, units inside restore X health points per second, consuming X mana points per second.

"Alright!"

After healing the last person, I had depleted over a hundred bottles of magic potions.

I walked into the adjacent resting room and collapsed onto a chair. I felt like I could see the continuous white light flashing in my eyes.

It was the first time I realized how tiring it was to continuously use magic, and my stamina was almost zero. If I continued like this, I would definitely be punished for exhausting my stamina.

"Are you alright, big brother?"

Oyado asked worriedly.

"I'm fine..."

"Master, please stop using magic. The current master is already very weak, and if you continue to use magic, the master's body won't be able to handle it."

"Don't worry, Pure White, I know."

Looking at the two of them, I smiled with relief.

"In short, it's beneficial for both sides, I guess."

"Um..."

Suddenly, the door of the room was pushed open, revealing a crowd of citizens behind it.

"Um... thank you very much for healing us! Your help allowed us to quickly recover our health. Really! Thank you so much!"

After finishing speaking, everyone bowed to me at the same time.

"But most of our homes have been severely damaged, and we can't offer much in terms of gratitude. However, we will never forget your name, Lord Fir. You will always be a friend of our Po Tian City!" they said.

"Oh no, you all are too kind," I replied with a smile.

It didn't matter if there were no rewards. After all, my skills had already leveled up, and that was enough.

Ding!

Your favorability with the citizens of Po Tian City has reached 100%.

You have obtained the title of "Hero of Po Tian City."

Your favorability with the Eastern Continent's forces of justice has risen to 75%.

Your reputation has increased to 350.

Wait a minute, when did a reputation system exist? Who activated the system? Couldn't they have given a heads up?

Well, I guess it's a good thing to see the values.

"I just lent a helping hand, nothing worth thanking for. Anyway..."

Before I could finish my sentence, a message suddenly pulled me out of my joy and into the abyss!

Then, I spread my angel wings and broke through the ceiling, flying towards the Chelfa Kingdom.

The message that was sent to me was...

"Fir! Urgent situation! Dale just sent me a message, saying that when he was replenishing supplies at the academy, Yaling's two friends, who were seriously injured, came to report. They said that when Yaling was inheriting the Earl's title, she was forcibly detained by the King of the Chelfa Empire under the identity of an unwed princess. The two of them managed to escape from the pursuit of the royal guards with all their might. They're asking for you, Yaling's childhood friend, to save her."

The sender of the message was Ms. Mary, who could receive messages from anyone and from far away...

It was because of this that the message was able to be sent so quickly!

"The King of the Chelfa Kingdom! I've been ignoring you, and now you've come to my doorstep! I will destroy your city!!!!"

I roared while flying quickly towards the Chelfa Kingdom!
