Chapter 633: Chapter 631: The First Town

Ever since Hilia was assassinated in Watch City, she has not encountered any major disturbances in her subsequent actions.

As she continued along a seemingly random path that just happened to circle Elf Forest, the prevention and control efforts on the Elf Royal Court’s side achieved certain progress, uplifting some spirits slightly.

In the meantime, they issued an announcement to eliminate Dark Elves, although Hilia was not mentioned in it; it merely stated that the Dark Elves were active during the disaster, leading to severe incidents that shouldn’t have occurred, causing human and economic losses, hence the extermination order was issued.

As the Elf Race vigorously fought against pollution and Dark Elves, other nations didn’t just stand by.

Besides the Ista Empire, other empires also resisted pollution flowing from the Elf Race at their borders.

They had more preparation time and experience from other nations; although the pollution caused some damage as it entered their countries, it was relatively better compared to the Ista Empire.

The Holy Court lodged a stern negotiation with the Elf Royal Court regarding Hilia’s assassination incident, seemingly reaching some agreement; when Hilia finally underwent treatment, some cities saw Holy Priests displaying the Holy Court emblem appear.

These individuals were very enthusiastic when Hilia came by, all observing her actions and arranging various matters for her without fail.

So, after another two weeks, Hilia arrived at the final city and completed the purification here.

At this time, the Elf Race had already implemented protection methods in various towns, and the city lords of the cities suffering from pollution disasters were very cooperative, successfully completing the city-wide pollution isolation work.

Hilia looked at the city in front of her and exhaled lightly.

“The last one, much easier than those previous cities. For now, it’s finished, isn’t it, Lord Rose?”

Rose’s specter appeared beside her, nodding, “Yes, it’s done, but you still need to return to the initial city.”

“The initial city, is it Mandela Town?”

“Yes.”

“Alright, let’s set off now.”

Leaving behind a farewell note, Hilia quietly left without alerting anyone.

Soon, she arrived at the starting point of the purification, a town named Mandela Town.

This is where Hilia first decided to perform purification.

Now, upon entering, Hilia saw this place bustling again.

Although still quite desolate compared to before the disaster, it was much better than other cities.

Hilia didn’t conceal herself and entered with her true appearance.

Her attire had long been etched into the minds of all Mandela Town’s residents.

Upon seeing her appear at the city gate, the guards at the gate exclaimed in surprise.

“It’s Miss Hilia!”

“Great, see, I knew she would come back to visit!”

“Quickly, notify Lord Ocam!”

“…”

The city gate instantly became a chaotic scene.

Many townsfolk and tourists who heard the news immediately swarmed towards the city gate.

The gatekeeping guards quickly came over to surround Hilia, preventing others from getting too close.

Hilia looked at the many elves, humans, and beastmen with fervent eyes; these outsiders were the first to receive her treatment.

They hadn’t left because the Elf Race’s borders were already sealed; apart from specific caravans allowed to move, everyone else was prohibited from leaving.

They also didn’t dare to leave because the situation outside was much worse than inside the cities.

Within the cities, apart from the initial wave of pollution, later pollution concentrations were much lower than outside; going outdoors, they would not only worry about pollution invading again but also about the sudden attacks by beasts invaded by pollution.

There have already been many cases of docile sheep suddenly rampaging and eating people.

At this point, they had already passed the ‘immune’ period Hilia initially mentioned; although the Elf Royal Court had implemented pollution prevention methods, they were temporarily safe, yet still very worried, earnestly hoping Hilia would come once more.

Listening to the words coming from the people around, Hilia smiled slightly at the corners of her mouth.

Heartfelt gratitude, she found it quite agreeable, and somewhat understood why Phil was so enthusiastic about being a Holy Priest.

Accompanied by the guards, Hilia slowly walked into the city, responding to some questions from passersby until City Lord Ocam hurriedly came over and welcomed her into the City Lord’s Mansion.

Arriving in the City Lord’s Mansion, after some pleasantries, Ocam inquired, “Miss Hilia, do you need me to arrange purification personnel now?”

Hilia shook her head, “I came just to take a look; the current situation is very good, even though there is still pollution, the symptoms are mild, no need for dedicated purification like before; once the disaster is over, it will naturally heal.”

Ocam nodded, “Alright, if there is anything needed, feel free to let me know.”

Hilia said, “I would like to know the city’s situation during this time and understand the investigation on everyone’s resistance to pollution, for instance, amongst the most severe patients, after purification, whether they were again affected by pollution—do you have statistics for this, Lord Ocam?”

Ocam nodded, “We compile pollution information daily, which needs to be reported to the Elf Royal Court, it’s not confidential, Miss Hilia, you can view it anytime.”

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

Soon, Ocam ordered someone to bring over the information Hilia wanted.

This is a record of the conditions of patients after purification during this period.

Ocam also worried about secondary pollution, latent pollution situations after purification.

But fortunately, no such situation occurred.

Hilia didn’t go through everything, she merely looked at common examples and some special ones to check if there were issues with her ‘resistance vaccine’.

“It looks good, although some people had very low resistance to pollution, only resisting for two weeks before symptoms appeared, the symptoms are mild, and the City Lord also employed Holy Priests to help with treatment.”

Hilia murmured and suddenly thought of a matter, “Lord Rose, do you think, since these people have such weak resistance to pollution, does it mean they are very compatible with the Abyss forces?”

Rose nodded, “Yes, but without a path of study, without a magic circuit to communicate with demonic qi pollution, no specific Meditation Skill, this pollution does them no good.”

“Indeed, then Phil’s case…”

“She has the Abyss Princess constitution, requiring no method, can naturally utilize the power of demonic qi pollution.”

“Not surprising, it’s Phil.”

At this moment, Ocam walked in from outside.

“Miss Hilia, many residents hope you can come out and say a few words and aid in another purification; do you have time?”

Hilia got up and walked outside.

“Since everyone feels insecure, I’ll help them then.”

By the way, activate Lord Rose’s ceremonial activation.
