Chapter 1011 Nathan, Yorl, Grandal

Upon hearing that all of them had passed, they collapsed on the ground as a few of them cried tears of joy.

Seeing this, Shiro chuckled as she waved her hand and summoned a tablet.

"I'll give you lot an accommodation for the day and we'll be setting off early in the morning once you have rested up well. We'll be teleporting near the rough location of Vrish' Lir and continue the remaining journey manually. If there is anything you want to do before you leave for a few days you might want to do it now." Shiro said as a few of them nodded at each other.

"Erm, your highness." One of them called out as Shiro glanced over.

"Mn? What is it?" She recognised him as the one in charge of the formation when the three of them joined hands to endure the attack.

"I know this might sound like a lot but can you have a look at our older brother? His condition is a little unique and we haven't been able to do anything about it. We've had a request for the healer's guild but it was not their expertise." He asked as Shiro raised her eyebrow before nodding her head.

"Alright, I can have a look at him now. What kind of injury is it?" Shiro asked curiously since there wasn't much that Silvia couldn't handle. For her to say that it wasn't their expertise this injury must be quite hard to treat.

"Um… the problem is that we don't know. Miss Silvia had a look at our brother and she said that she couldn't determine the cause so it was hard to treat. Hence why it probably wasn't within her expertise." He replied as Shiro crossed her arms and furrowed her brows.

"Alright, show me the way. I'll see what I can do." Shiro nodded.

Glancing back, Shiro was about to ask Nan Tian to show the others to their accommodation when she thought about how long this might take.

"Nan Tian, have someone escort them to their rooms, are you able to come with me?"

"Of course I can." Nan Tian nodded with a smile since that was what he was planning anyways.

Waiting for a moment, a few servants arrived as Nan Tian instructed them on what to do.

Seeing the people leave, Shiro turned to the three.

"If you will." She smiled and gestured for them to lead the way.

As they were walking, Shiro brought up their information and had a look.

All three of them were orphans and the one being registered with them was also an orphan but it seems like he was acting as a guardian before succumbing to the injury.

The current leader of the three was called Nathan. He was a tall youth that had short brown hair and brown eyes. He seemed slim but most of his physique was hidden behind his cloak.

The second oldest was called Yorl and he seemed to be a half elf. Similar to Lyrica, he had blond hair and green eyes, but his ears were shorter than most elf's hence why Shiro figured that he was probably a half.

/p>

The youngest of the three is Grandal. Like Nathan, he had brown hair and black eyes but he was shorter than the other two. He was just slightly above Shiro's height and his aura was more reserved than his brothers.

"Seems like you four have quite the nice relationship." Shiro smiled after going through all of their information.

After coming to this city, the three of them have worked hard to find a treatment for their older brother but they haven't found anything useful just yet.

Even with all of the healers and mages around, they haven't been able to determine the cause of their brother's illness.

"Mn, big brother has been looking after us ever since we were little. It didn't matter what happened but he was always there so we have to help him back." Nathan nodded as Shiro smiled.

Following them to the residential district, quite a few of the residents were surprised at Shiro's sudden appearance and greeted her. Greeting them back, Shiro kept a smile on her face while occasionally grabbing onto Nan Tian without anyone knowing so that she could calm her nerves a little.

There were moments where doubts would fester in her heart. Is there someone here that means harm? But knowing that it was just her paranoia, Shiro dismissed the thought.

Walking through the streets, they eventually reached a detached house a little far away from the city centre.

Scanning his key card, Nathan walked in first.

"Brother I'm home." He called out, taking his shoes off and putting on the shoe rack.

Pulling out some slippers, he offered it to Shiro and Nan Tian.

Doing the same, Shiro put her boots to the side before putting on some slippers.

"I'll prepare some drinks. What do you like to drink, your highness?" Grandal asked as Shiro smiled.

"I'll take juice then."

"Understood what about you sir?"

"I'll take the same." Nan Tian nodded as Nathan led the two of them upstairs.

"This is brother's room. He's just inside." Nathan said as he opened the door.

Turning on the lights, he stepped aside so that Shiro could see him for herself.

The moment she entered the room, Shiro was hit with an overwhelming sense of miasma as she couldn't help but frown.

Walking up to the bed, she could see a pale faced youth that looked like he was sleeping without any trouble.

Drawing a rune on his chest, Shiro did a quick scan of his body and furrowed her brows.

'No wonder Silvia couldn't determine the cause. Everything seems normal and the miasma seemed to originate from thin air.' Shiro thought with a frown as she activated analysis along with her mana sense to see if she could sense whatever was wrong with the man's body but again, the diagnosis was that he was completely healthy.

Is it something to do with the soul?' She wondered.

Closing her eyes, black mist started to creep into the room as the shadows wrapped around her body and turned into a black dress.

Activating her true spirit nature, Shiro opened her eyes and gently tapped his head.

Suddenly, a faint figure of the man appeared in front of them as Shiro couldn't see anything that was wrong with him.

'Strange… Too strange. There's definitely miasma so why is he not 'harmed'?' Shiro furrowed her brows.

Reaching beside her, a small portal opened as Shiro dragged out a lantern.

"Holy f*ck the light of day? Room? Whatever you finally dragged me out. I thought I was forgotten and lost to the void for a moment then. I've already finished with the dumbasses you sent me last time and there's no entertainment in here." The ancient terror complained immediately as Shiro already had the urge to throw him back into the void.

"I'll give you some entertainment for your prison later. Before that can you have a look at this man for me? His soul isn't injured nor is his body injured yet there's miasma." Shiro asked as the ancient terror paused for a second before opening his mouth.

"No idea but it stinks of gods to me. Maybe the lad behind you can tell you more about it. His eyes are special after all." The ancient terror shrugged as Shiro raised her eyebrows and glanced back.

"I can certainly try." Nan Tian nodded his head.

Activating his skill after not using it for a long time, Nan Tian had to get used to the sensation again as a tiny magic circle could be seen in his pupils.

Looking at his eyes, Shiro couldn't help but think that they're akin to tiny jewels with the faint flickering of light.

As for Nan Tian, the moment he activated his eyes, he immediately spotted what was wrong. There was a crest in the centre of the man's soul. Recognising it to be similar to the crests that Hemera was using, he knew that it was divine energy.

"There's a god crest on the young man's soul. A god is probably preparing to do something with this person. I'm guessing that it's an evil god with the miasma and if we want to get rid of it, the best choice would be to get rid of the crest." Nan Tian replied as he furrowed his brows.

"A god crest? What does it look like?" Shiro asked curiously as Nan Tian started to draw it out while Shiro placed the soul back into the man's body and dismissed her true spirit nature.

"It looks like this."

Receiving the tablet, Shiro looked at what he had drawn and furrowed her brows.

The crest was that of a raven skull with a sword stabbed through the middle. Beside the skull were two torches that burned with a dark purple flame.

Checking through her knowledge of god crests, Shiro could find a single match or record on what it might be linked to.

"Ah I've seen that crest before!" Nathan called out in surprise as both Shiro and Nan Tian looked towards him.

"You have?"

"Yes, it was on an amulet that the nun carried on her at all times."
