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!"

"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.

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!"
