*** The next day. The man Arryn had asked for finally arrived. Albert came at 7 am alone; he was not escorted by his members. He entered Arryn's room and met the young man, who was relaxing while enjoying the refreshing morning air that flowed into his room. "How are you?" greeted Albert, extending his right hand forward, asking Arryn to shake his hand firmly. "Fine. How about you?" asked Arryn back, Albert only answering him with a smile clearly written on his face. Arryn was currently seen sitting on the single sofa, drinking the hot tea he had made while staring at the room's window. Albert was invited to sit on the long sofa close to Arryn. "There's something I need to discuss in secret with him. Would you mind waiting outside, Ivy?" asked Arryn. Ivy smiled. The woman didn't mind Arryn's request at all. She thought that perhaps what the two of them would talk about was so sensitive that it only needed to be known by those two people. Ivy walked slowly to the room door and w

"Nice place, by the way. I didn't expect you to have such a nice house in the depths of the forest," Arryn replied, praising the gorgeous interior inside Albert's old residence. Although he was the Commander of the City Guard, Albert could not be underestimated when it came to taste in interiors. The beauty of Albert's house reminded Arryn of the famous interior designs in medieval times. Compared to the houses Arryn had been to in the past, Albert's was one with an exciting interior. However, one unfortunate thing was the house's condition, which was filled with dust. "So, about my meeting with Major Luxizar. It looks like I won't be able to make it to the government office," Arryn replied, seeing that his condition was starting to deteriorate just from walking from his inn all the way to this old house in the forest. "If you really need his presence, then I will ask that man to come here," Albert replied, reassuring Arryn that the man would call the mayor to come to his residence

*** The next day. Arryn went to dry his clothes in the backyard. He helped Ivy because he didn't want to sit around like a sick person. Ivy didn't mind as long as Arryn didn't get exhausted. They didn't have a lot of clothes; about three to four sets of clothes were dried that morning while the sun was shining quite brightly. Ivy was tasked with wringing out the clothes that were still wet, while Arryn was charged with hanging the clothes on a solid wire rope. "This is the last set of clothes, Arryn," Ivy said, handing the clothes she had finished wringing to Arryn. Arryn smiled. His right hand immediately hung up the clothes and straightened them. Ivy stood beside Arryn helping the young man dry the last of the clothes he had washed. "Even though it's only one hand, somehow I'm getting used to all these daily activities," Arryn replied, relieved that the drying was done. "You have to if you want to stay alive," Ivy said, picking up the bucket and walking back into the house. "

Arryn sat limply while leaning his back on a signboard. He clearly saw a horde of troops running toward him, all wielding swords and wearing armor. The young man was weak enough to fight them, considering he had fought the two Howlingbird magic users for too long. As Arryn's performance decreased, the protective fire wall behind him faded. "Get up, lord protector," said one of the citizens, fearing that the army was coming to kill them. Not just one person, but many townspeople said so. They encouraged Arryn and begged the young man to protect them just this once, as there were only a few townspeople left to evacuate. Arryn tried to raise his right hand, casting a high-level magic spell that could eliminate many people in a single attack. When the young man was about to release the fire magic spell, his attention was distracted when he saw a giant dragon flying in free over the Luxizar sky. "You did it," Arryn whispered, realizing the dragon was Ivy. Ivy continued to fly in a cir

Arryn widened his eyes; his heart was shocked to hear that Quentin was dying. He asked Alexia to take him to the room where Quentin was being treated, and the woman agreed without arguing.The two of them left with an escort of several soldiers, unlike Aurora, who was busy treating Ivy, who fainted due to running out of mana in her body. The location where Quentin was treated was quite far from the first location. Alexia said that he was in a large tent used for emergency hospitals.From a distance, the top end of the tent was clearly visible. Arryn and Alexia continued to walk with the gazes of the townspeople fixed on them, especially on Arryn's new figure.It was clear that the tent stood firmly in a field. There was not just one, but five large and long tents. Alexia pointed to the second of the five tents, where Quentin and the townspeople who were still injured were treated.The tent curtain opened, and the nurses treated several people, not Quentin. The man still lay unconsciou
