Chapter 1981 Shock

The foreigner started to speak, but he felt cold air rushing toward him. His voice came out shaky. "No, no—what I mean is, this is the only ship going to Angladus for a while. Nothing else is scheduled after this, so we're desperate too. "If we can't get out of here, the Serpent Lord won't spare any of us." "Go tell him I'm taking it. If he has a problem with that, he knows where to find me," Feran said before turning away. "Now get out." The foreigner had no choice. He turned and left. Jorrell Caddle, the man in black robes, stepped into the room. "Sir, did the absorption not work?" Feran gave a slight nod. "The Dragonheart Pendant is no ordinary artifact. I think it has drakonic fortune within. Not only did I fail to absorb it, but the thing also drained some of my arcane power." "What?" Jorrell looked stunned. "Is the pendant that dangerous?" "It's not dangerous, just old." Feran looked up. "It's been around for ages. It would take some effort to absorb something so an

Chapter 1982 Finding the Trail

Landon turned toward Aria. "We still have no news about the last four Bardiac pieces. Not a single lead. Finding them won't be easy." "How do we know if we don't try?" Aria's gaze sharpened. "They're out there somewhere, which means someone's sitting on them. Sure, lots of artifacts are off the grid right now. But people with dirty secrets can't hide from the light forever." Right then, Sam walked up to them. "Boss, that Dragonheart Pendant you wanted me to look for is not here." "But I think something is missing from these artifacts." When Sam heard Aria's words, he went in closer and sniffed. "Hmm… I smell something I like." "Really?" Aria's eyes narrowed. These artifacts must have been corrupted by a certain kind of energy if Sam said he liked the smell. Even if she couldn't see it, Sam could detect its presence by sniffing it. After he tried smelling a few more artifacts, he came up with the same conclusion. "Boss, this smells really familiar… Oh, I remember! It smell

Chapter 1983 Eyes on the Harbor

Shale's voice turned serious. He said to Aria, "Ms. Carver, if you need our help, we're at your service." Seeing their determination, Aria pulled Shale, Lumen, and Fisk aside. "Things in Portfall have been getting dangerous lately. I need you guys to stake out the harbor for me. Someone's planning to smuggle Farshya's artifacts overseas. "They're shipping everything out in three days. I'll bring backup to catch them in the act, but I need you to keep watch until then." "Alright, you can count on us." Shale waved confidently. "But how did you find out about the smuggling? We've been all over Portfall, and we haven't heard anything about this." "I can't tell you." Aria raised an eyebrow. "Some things are meant to stay secret. I'm trusting you three to keep those artifacts safe." Lumen nodded. "We'll handle it properly, Ms. Carver. If you can't talk about it, we won't ask anymore questions. We'll head to the harbor right now and start our watch." While Aria talked with them, J

Chapter 1984 Healing a Blind Woman

The manager's eyes narrowed. "It doesn't matter. We won't allow dogs into this restaurant." The young woman, Eleanor Hollerith, stood up at that point. She said to Aria, "Thank you for trying, but I should go." She picked up the leash and started feeling her way out with her cane. Aria walked over and grabbed her arm. "It's fine. We can eat somewhere else. Honestly, I couldn't eat here anyway with people like this around."The other customers looked at her. "Just leave already. That dog is making me lose my appetite." "Yeah, get out. You've ruined my mood." "Not everyone belongs in a high-end restaurant." "Do you all really think you're better than everyone else?" Aria's eyes went cold. "I remember one of you just said she had no class because she ordered well-done steak and used the wrong utensils." "So you think eating well-done steak makes someone inferior? Farshya didn't become powerful so we could eat steak in a 'perfect' way. We're powerful because we can eat steak

Chapter 1985 Making Progress

Eleanor said to Aria, "I'll call you Ms. Carver then. I'm Eleanor Hollerith. Just call me Eleanor." "Sure." Aria nodded slightly. "I had someone make some medicine syrup for you. Let me grab it." She got up and walked outside. She noticed that Sam had prepared the syrup and was about to bring it over. He saw her and held out the cup. "Boss, all done!" Aria took it from him. "Nice work. You remembered everything I taught you." She started to turn back, then remembered something and looked at Landon. "Take Sam and scout around again. Her grandmother's important, so we need to find her." "On it." Landon stood up. "You handle things here. Sam and I will track her down." Aria nodded, then carried the syrup back into the room. "Eleanor, your medicine's ready. Sip it slowly—it helps calm your system and supports healing." Eleanor took the cup with both hands, still shaking slightly. She lifted it to her lips carefully, blew on it, and took a small sip. The medicine initially t

Chapter 1986 First Glimpse of Light

There was an old medical saying about using golden needles in acupuncture. The first needle would reveal what was wrong, the second would initiate action, and the third would bring the cure. Each golden needle took its toll on Aria's concentration, but seeing Eleanor slowly improve made everything worthwhile. Eleanor was about to black out from the pain when a weird, cool sensation spread up from her stomach straight to her eyes. She gasped. "Ms. Carver, it's cold. My eyes feel really cold." Aria knew the medicine was working. And so, she pulled out all the needles quickly and held Eleanor's face. "Alright. Try opening your eyes now." Eleanor trembled as she slowly opened her eyes. Her grayish-white pupils were still cloudy, but a tiny bit of light was breaking through. "I... I think I see something." Her voice shook. "There's this yellow light... Is that a flashlight?" Aria smiled at her. "No, it's the middle of the day. I don't have any lights on." Eleanor couldn't beli

Chapter 1987 Worth It

Landon followed Aria's gaze and saw something. "That's a bronze stallion from the Mashern Era." Aria gave a small nod. "And there are still traces of draconic fortune clinging to it." She could not believe there was an artifact from the Mashern Era here. After all this time, it carried more than just ancient history. It held the wisdom of people who'd lived centuries ago. "Drakonic fortune..." Landon's voice was soft. "Someone's supposed to pick these up here, then ship them all to Sylas. He'll drain the energy off these items and send them back." Aria looked away from the artifact. "Shall we catch them red-handed?" "Good idea." Landon sounded calm. "But honestly, they're just some small fry." Aria turned to face the leader. "How do you usually hand these things off?" "We don't hand them off." The leader's voice was heavy. "The boss tells us where to drop them. We just unload and leave." Aria's eyes darkened after hearing that. "Where do you drop them?" The man answer

Chapter 1988 Talon Appears

Aria didn't respond to Landon. She just turned over and stayed asleep. Landon couldn't help smiling. He reached over and adjusted the blanket so it covered her more effectively. Looking at her face, he found himself reaching out without thinking, just barely touching her cheek. Her skin was impossibly soft and smooth. He even felt like biting it. After a moment, he turned and quietly left the room. Sam came back and started playing with the guide dog, grinning from ear to ear. "Hey, he's such a good doggy." The guide dog followed Sam everywhere he went. He'd stop now and then to feed it a bite of something, then they'd go back to wandering around together. As Landon watched them, his eyes grew darker. Sam had gotten to Portfall before they did, and he'd learned to talk while he was here. Landon knew the real reason why that happened. It wasn't just because someone taught him. The consciousness buried in his mind was beginning to awaken. Anyone who had been Chaos knew

Chapter 1989 Sweet Delivery

"You!" Sam's eyes went wide. "That's so mean!" A smile played on Landon's lips. "So, are you going or not?" "Fine, whatever." Sam's shoulders drooped as he dragged himself inside. Once Sam was gone, Landon stood and walked outside. Talon had already shifted to human form and was standing nearby. When he saw Landon coming, he hurried over. "Sir." Landon looked at Talon. "Did you get them?" Talon reached into his pocket and pulled out some candies. "Here are the sweets you wanted." Landon took the candies and didn't bother hiding his smile. He knew Aria had a sweet tooth, but she hadn't had any candy since they got to Portfall. So he'd asked Talon to bring back her favorites. Landon felt the candies in his hands. "What'd you find out?" Talon's voice went serious. "Sir, I've been tracking down what you lost all those years ago. It might be connected to that sacred relic you mentioned." Landon kept his voice flat. "So you think the sacred relic's tied to me?" "Yeah.

Chapter 1990 Aria the Fortune Teller

Diana looked up at Aria. "I'll do it." Aria paused. "But I haven't even told you what—" "That doesn't matter." Diana's face softened. "If I can help, I will. I'd do it gladly even if it kills me." Aria kept her face neutral. "It's nothing that dramatic. Remember when you told me about blackmailing those smugglers? Did you notice anything else going on? Like what's happening at the port?" "The port?" Diana thought for a moment. "I've lived here a long time, but I don't hang around the port much. Though I did hear something recently—the customs chief's wife showed up and made a huge scene." "Made a scene?" Aria's eyes sharpened. "Tell me everything." Diana looked up, trying to remember. "This is just what I heard, but apparently, his wife came to the port and kept demanding to see him. Nobody could stop her—or even dared to. Some people overheard her saying that if he ever betrayed her, she'd expose everything he'd done and make sure everyone went down with him. "I mean, it
