Anfey could clearly tell that Urter lost a lot of weight . Urter was merely a skeleton of now . Anfey felt as if he was holding bonfire sticks in his arms . Urter could not stop shaking . His eyes kept opening and closing . Obviously, it was hard for Urter to even raise his eyelids .

Niya ducked in the carriage . She took a seat next to Anfey, leaning on his shoulder . The wagon stopped . Garrison and mercenaries from the League of Mercenaries were herding the pedestrians, so that they could set up the street barricade .

Anfey saw that Urter could not talk for quite some time . He had to turn around to ask Niya what was happening .

"I do not know what is going on . " Niya replied, looking confused . "Urter has been missing for a long time . One day, he suddenly showed up in the marquis' living room . He looked terrible and had lost consciousness . I had to ask soldiers to take him to the room . I did not yet know the horrible things which were going to happen . "

"What horrible things?" Anfey asked .

"Urter got old, so quickly . I could even see his hair and beard getting white, bit by bit, and then he lost all of his hair--even his beard--at the end, even his teeth all fell out . I found priests and doctors to take a look at him . They only told me that his life had reached its end . There was no medical treatment they could provide . They did not know what made Urter like this . "

Urter slowly turned his hand and grabbed Anfey's hand . He nodded at Anfey .

"What happened afterwards?" Anfey asked .

"Urter said he had something important to tell you . I asked him to tell me first, and that I would then pass the information on to you, but he would not listen to me . He said he had to tell you in person . " Niya seemed helpless . "Urter is so sick, and he would not listen to others . There was nothing I could do . I had to leave Violet City secretly, with little Shally and them, to find you . "

"Did you encounter any dangers on the way?" Anfey asked .

Advertisement"No . " Niya shook her head . "I met a few people fleeing from Shansa Empire . The few maids of yours are really powerful . They killed them easily . "

"What happened afterwards?" Anfey asked .

"Nothing . We sought out information about you along the way . I came to Stormburg, and met Master Mario by accident . He told us you were in the Moonlight City, so we came here," Niya said .

There was screaming outside the wagon . "Shally!"

"Sis…" Little Shally's giggling was heard .

Even though it was Anfey's only sister in-law outside of the wagon, and his only blood-related family, Anfey was not in the mood to get out of the wagon . Urter could die at any second . If Urter wanted to tell him secrets in person, it meant Urter must have some sensational news . He had to figure this out first .

Anfey suddenly found Urter had laid his eyes on his Dimensional ring . In fact, Urter did not used to be able to afford a Dimensional ring with his salary . Anfey gave this Dimensional ring to Urter as a gift, when he came to Violet City for the first time .

"Dimensional ring?" Anfey asked in a low pitch .

Urter slowly blinked . Anfey slowly lifted the left hand, the one with the ring . After waiting for a while, Anfey only saw Urter's hand shaking and moving, but he did not see anything showing up . He knew that Urter's life could wither away at any time . Opening the Dimensional ring became a luxury .

"Master, is Master Urter important to you?" someone asked from inside of the wagon .

Anfey did not realize it was one of the elves speaking . Anfey had had those elves for over a half year, but he never talked to them . He asked them to stay in the station . One of the reasons for this request, was that he did not want Suzanna to get jealous . The other reason was that he did not want rumors starting . Anfey had gone through thick and thin with his friends . He married Suzanna, and got few gorgeous elves, but Blavi and the other boys did not even date anyone . These differences could hurt their relationships . For Anfey, "Master" sounded very distant . He had paid all his attentions to Urter, and did not realize who was talking to him now .

"Master!" The same elf had to call Anfey again .

"Anfey!" Niya called .

"Yeah?" Anfey turned around and looked at Paglia, who talked to him now . "What?"

"Master, is Master Urter important to you?" Paglia asked .

"Yes, very important," Anfey said .

Paglia went silent for a second . She turned her hand over . A purple crystal vase showed in her hand . "Master, this is the Water of Life . Urter is losing his life . This Water of Life could not let him return to his youth, but it could prolong his life for a few more years . "

Anfey did not take the crystal vase immediately . He looked at Piglia, while the other three elves looked shocked . Jen, who liked to speak her mind, yelled, "Piglia, how could you have the Life of Water?"

"Bruzuryano asked me to keep it," Piglia said in a low pitch .

"Thank you . " Anfey finally said something: "I owe you one . If you are in trouble in the future, I would definitely help if I could . "

It was such a myth about Piglia . Anfey could tell she was a very sophisticated elf . If she wanted to save Urter, she had many chances, but she did not take out the Water of Life until this moment . She wanted a favor from Anfey . Of course, it was not a terrible thing to be sophisticated in her tactics . The key was whether she had good or bad intentions . Piglia was with Bruzuryano before . She should have good intentions, so Anfey was happy to owe her a favor . It was especially true that he had owed Bruzuryano many . It would not be a big deal to owe one more .

"Master, you are welcome . " Piglia had a smile on her serious face .

Even though Piglia called Anfey master, their conversation did not sound like one existing between a master and his subordinate . "Master" at this moment was just a way to address Anfey .

"Can you come here to help? I do not know how to use the Water of Life," Anfey said .

Piglia pulled out the dark red cork from the vase . She flicked her little finger, and a drop of Water of life flew out of the vase . That drop floated in the air toward Urter . The Water of Life looked no different than regular water, but it left a track of mysterious light as it moved in the air, which looked more like tiny comets .

Urter suddenly looked worried, and tightened his lips together, while his thin body shook harder . He tried to turn his face away to avoid that drop of the Water of Life . It seemed to be worthy for Anfey to exchange his promise with Urter's life, but others might not think so . Others knew how much Anfey's promise was worth . Piglia knew it, too, and so did Urter . That was why Urter tried to stop this deal .

"Urter, what are you doing? Open your mouth!" Anfey sounded very serious .

Urter was not a match for Anfey . Anfey turned Urter's head over by force . That drop of Water of Life dropped into Urter's mouth .

"Master Urter might need some sleep . When he wakes up, he will feel better," Piglia said in a low pitch .

In a short while, Urter closed his heavy eyes, and his head fell to one side . Anfey slowly laid Urter down . Anfey was still worried .

"Is that it?" Anfey asked .

"Yes, master," Piglia said .

Suddenly, Christian yelled from outside, "Niya?"

Niya immediately lifted the curtain of the wagon and jumped out . She saw Christian, Blavi, and Riska were all there . She did not have time to greet everyone, but put her index finger in front of her lips . "Shhhh, lower your voices . "

"What's wrong?" Christian was shocked for a second .

"Urter needs some rest," Niya said .

"What is wrong with Urter?" Christian asked .

"It seems he was cursed . When you see him later, you will know . " Niya heaved a long sign . "Luckily, he is fine now . "

"Niya, why are you here? Are the people in Violet City dumb? At least they should have told us about it . It's too dangerous," Blavi said in a low pitch .

"Ah, I asked them to keep a secret for us . " Niya looked proud . "If you did not know about it, those bad guys definitely would not know about it . It was safe . " This was the first time Niya had used any strategy . She would not allow anyone to put her down .

Christian and the others looked at each other and smiled bitterly . The war had ended . Except for Baery, who could not leave, Saul, Stegar, Ernest, Anfey and the younger ones did not have much left to do . If anyone went back to help Niya, the person could definitely protect Niya . This so-called "Hiding from everyone" was not necessary at all .

"Not bad . Our Miss . Niya knows to think now . " Anfey walked out of the wagon, speaking this with a smile .

"Of course . " Niya felt prouder . She always welcomed praise and compliments, but her smile soon went away . She put her hands on her waist and yelled in anger, "Anfey, what do you mean? Was I not able to think before?"

The garrison nearby secretly tut-tutted with annoyance . They only knew Niya was an important person, but did not know who she was exactly . The current governor, Alice, used to be the assistant of Anfey . They heard Alice was very respectful to Anfey . They wondered who Niya was, and how she could be so arrogant in front of Anfey .

Christian and the others tried really hard not to laugh out loud . No matter whether they were older or younger than Niya, they all treated Niya as if she was their innocent little sister . No matter how much of a higher title Anfey was going to have, or how powerful that he became, Niya still would call him Anfey . Her attitude toward Anfey would not change . She would still laugh or yell in front Anfey, without holding anything back . She was a girl who always spoke her mind . Of course, usually, girls like Niya would end up in tragedy . However, Niya was very lucky, because she was the daughter of Saul .
