Chapter 421: FORBID

“... There was no sign of impurity.”

After that, Urulas said no more. He waited for her to say something.

Veronica caught on quickly.

“Do you think it has anything to do with me? Haha. Just think that the place you live has turned into a place where you can barely breathe. Of course, I had to do something to clean up the mess. It’s not like anyone asked me.

“Moreover, there are hardly any people who know my actual identity. They merely know me as a healer.”

Urulas refuted, “You don’t have to tell them your identity. They will find out on your own. The Master of the magic Tower is a cunning fox. He reeks of blood. There is no way he won’t notice your divine power.”

Veronica smirked. “As tricky as he is, his eyes are only for his wife. He hardly cares about the rest. If someone is truly working for the tower, that would be the Second-in-command.”

.....

Urulas couldn’t believe it. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to trust her. He was thinking that the tower people were fooling her.

“I know about the Master. He is infamous for his cold-blooded murders. How can that become a lovebird just for a woman?”

At his question, Veronica’s lips raised slightly. “That’s because his wife is an unparallel beauty. Everyone falls in love with her the moment they saw her.”

‘I don’t think it’s a crime to falsely praise myself,’ she thought.

“Unparalleled beauty?” Urulas lightly chuckled. “Is there someone more beautiful than you are?”

“You jest!” Veronica went along with him, slightly embarrassed.

“Please notify me if you are in trouble. If they try to use your power for something evil, run for your life and come to us. We will protect you and take you out of the human realm.”

Since he was so sure that she would be attacked by the tower people, she replied shortly, “I will.”

Urulas didn’t pester her any longer. He talked about something else, “Do you still have back pain?”

Veronica nodded. “I do. It happens two days each month. Once on the full moon and another time on the new moon.

“I do apply the ointment I got from the Elvish realm but it’s only a temporary solution. I wish I could permanently deal with it.”

“You need to become stronger. That’s how you can reduce the pain,” Urulas advised.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Veronica pressed the table and asked, “Do you know how to become stronger to reduce the pain?”

“I don’t. Knowledge about the Blessed Child is kept in the Royal Academy in our realm. The human realm does have some information but they are nothing but tales. Humans used astronomy to predict the future and wrote them down in the scrolls. Now they protect them as if their lives depend on it.”

Urulas shook his head, feeling hopeless for mankind.

“Anyway, I must warn you about the tower. Even if you live with them, don’t get too close to them. Don’t have any romantic feelings for any magicians, especially someone who can use Dark Arts.”

As he warned her, Veronica squinted her eyes. She recalled Saint Ava telling her something similar to this.

“What will happen if I have any romantic feelings for a magician?” she asked. When she noticed his sharp gaze, she added, “Just curious. It’s not like I fell in love with someone.”

“Something that you will never want to happen in your life,” Urulas replied mysteriously.

Veronica wanted to ask more but Urulas stood up. “I know you have brought your sword. Let’s have a spur before you leave.”

“Sure!” Veronica easily agreed.

Fifteen minutes later, she came out of the place. Her whole body was throbbing after being beaten by Urulas countless times.

Rubbing her back constantly, she came out of the alley. The guards were waiting for her with Sebastian.

Seeing the dire state she was in, Sebastian’s heart dropped.

“Mis-Mistress, how did this happen?!”

“Don’t’ worry about it. Just met an old friend.” Veronica brushed him off. She was in no mood to chat after losing to Urulas so many times.

Urulas even mentioned before she left, “You have not improved at all.”

Veronica’s face became sour. She had been practicing every day and her result was still the same.

She really wanted to give up this time.

On the way, there was utter silence.

Sebastian couldn’t speak, dared not to offend Veronica when she was frowning hard.

Once she arrived at the Magic Tower, she directly went to her room, took a bath and then changed her clothes. Later, she went to visit Catherine.

Ovior just went to check up on Catherine. They met in the hallway.

“Are you going to visit Cathy as well?” Veronica asked.

“Yes, I need to make sure my Assistant doesn’t die from blood loss,” Ovior replied with a poker face.

They went to Catherine’s room. Ovior used magic to open the door.

The windows were tightly shut. White smoke was swirling in the room.

“Cough! Cough! What is this smoke? Where did it come from? Cough!” Veronica could barely see inside. She quickly opened the windows and let the wind blow inside.

The room cleared up within a minute.

“It was fine in the morning. Did you do this?” she looked at Ovior.

Apart from Arthur and Felix, only Ovior knew Catherine’s condition. He must have come here when she was gone and used smoke to do something.

Despite hearing her question, Ovior was mute.

The room cleared up and they could see Catherine properly.

She was still unconscious. However, her pale face got the color back. Her body started to warm up.

Veronica sighed in relief. “It’s a good thing that she is recovering quickly. Shouldn’t she wake up by now? What’s taking her so long?”

She had reason to question. It had already been twelve hours since Catherine was healed.

With Ovior’s magic ointment and liquid medicine, she should be able to open her eyes by now.

However, she kept sleeping despite recovering quickly.

It was something to worry about.
