This was inside the te his treatment for the curse The worst part about this wasn’t the pain froold coins he had to pay to get this fixed If he hadn’t been saving up for the past year and a half he would probably have to cut his ar with his shoulder to survive instead

He had specifically fought for adding a clause to his contract It stated that he would get ain This included hi an assassination attereed to such a clause as the possibility of that becoh, the coold coins and would be able to break off the contract entirely This was soh of this city This was the second time this had happened, first was the incident with the thieves guild and now soe cult was after him

From the small amount of information that he had, he knew that this was souild of assassins orshi+pers of some kind of de they orshi+ping was

‘I hope that gnoet ritted his teeth while thinking, he had lost sight of the other people involved in this incident and he wasn’t sure where they went He had a written contract and this was a big coet his money at a different company store

The old priest was finally finished with the treatic worked A person’s wounds would just patch themselves up, he could even see the process of the healthy tissues for in real-time It was as if time ound back to the previous healthy foric was exactly different fro various skills that he had like hisThere were no runes involved so he couldn’t copy it onto a diagra mana to fuel the spell so maybe it would be possible to emulate these spells in the future

For now, he reoing through it he could see soht didn’t end just with the destruction of Exeter's Magic Emporium The unidentified assassins h level people One of them was Zilyana but there were others which Roland wasn’t acquainted with This in ter shapeshi+fting Warlock was quite indiscrihout the night and the two assailants were never apprehended Rolandout He was lucky enough to have brought er to take it off hih priest

On the outside, he was greeted with some sunny weather The clouds had parted and the day was looking bright It was still quite cold though and the sun did nothing aboutthe white snow that covered most of the city

Roland decided to walk towards Exeor’s Magic Emporium or at least as left of it On his way there he could see collateral dahborhood had suffered during the scuffle that ensued He could even see soround zero

After he arrived he noticed that there were a lot of people around the store They looked like battle-hardened soldiers but they weren’t part of the city guards These people were part of the company, they were a bunch of mercenaries contracted as hired muscle Obviously, they were a bit late to the party as the battle was now over

Maybe if ht before the store wouldn’t have been destroyed this ical device that was used would probably render the skill worked on the greater runes and he was able to get out of the world of illusions
