Zongman: I'm working hard to develop my daily life in the time-travel series

"The pain has disappeared."

His voice was rather old, but he was somewhat shocked that he was actually alright.

He touched his chest, where the wound had completely disappeared.

Upon seeing this, the girl quickly hugged her grandfather and burst into laughter.

"grandfather."

Shi Yu and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but the way Elzer and the others looked at Shi Yu instantly became much gentler.

"Thank you, Mr. Shi Yu. You are my grandfather's saviors."

The girl looked at Shi Yu and the others.

"I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Rem, the butler of the Duke of Altlind's household."

The butler bowed slightly to Shi Yu and the others.

"This is the Duke's daughter, Susie."

The girl stood with her hands on her hips, looking quite carefree.

"My name is Susie, nice to meet you."

They were somewhat surprised to hear that it was a duke.

Shi Yu looked at the people around him who were already kneeling on one knee and was immediately puzzled.

"What's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong? Why are you so calm?"

Elzer glanced at Shi Yu.

"This is a duke! A duke is the highest degree; only royalty can appoint a duke."

Chapter 453 May I entrust you with a matter?

"Royal family?" Shi Yu immediately understood.

“Indeed. My father, Alfred, is the king’s brother.”

"So you're the king's niece. It's better to call you Lady Susie."

Shi Yu was surprised.

However, amidst their surprise, they didn't show much of the respect that Elzer and the others did.

Susie chuckled. "Just call me Susie. This isn't a formal occasion, so there's no need for honorifics!"

"As I just said, Shi Yu, you are my saviors."

"But why would the royal family be in this place?" Shi Yu frowned.

"I'm going to my grandmother's place, and I'm on my way back to the capital now."

"So they were attacked on the way? If so, then these shouldn't be ordinary thieves."

Elzer and Linze nodded.

At this moment, Elzer clenched his fists, somewhat angry.

“I’ve already asked, and it turns out he’s just someone who was paid to do it, but he doesn’t know who the client is.”

"Oh, I see. That's a real shame."

Susie sighed.

"Mr. Shi Yu, may I ask you for a favor?"

The butler then asked Shi Yu with great respect.

"What can I do for you?"

"I'm afraid we can't protect Miss right now. I'm begging you again, could you please escort her? The fee will be paid to you when we arrive at the capital."

"A guard?" Shi Yu pondered.

Elzer looked at Shi Yu and said.

"Isn't this great? We're going to the capital anyway."

“I don’t object either,” Linze said, echoing her sentiment.

"I'll listen to Shi Yu," Yae said, smiling gently at Shi Yu.

"In that case, please take good care of me on the journey to the capital."

Shi Yu smiled. Since he was going to the capital anyway, he might as well earn some extra money on the side. Why not?

Moreover, they didn't seem like unruly people, so there was nothing wrong with going together.

Susie smiled immediately after hearing Shi Yu's answer.

"We are the ones who need your help."

As they continued on their journey, no one came to stop them.

Soon, the outline of the capital city came into view from the mountain.

"Is this the capital?" Shi Yu murmured to himself.

Elzer nodded and explained, "Alpheus, the capital of the Kingdom of Belfast."

"Located next to the colorful lake of the waterfall, it is also known as the Lake City."

As they explained, they returned to the capital and later to the Duke's house, which was also Susie's house.

Shi Yu and the others were also shocked by this luxurious scene.

Upon entering, one finds numerous maids standing respectfully on both sides.

... .... 0

While Shi Yu and the others were still in shock, a middle-aged man who had clearly blended into the atmosphere hurriedly walked down the stairs directly in front of them.

His face still held a look of surprise.

“Daughter,” he said to Susie as he came down.

Susie also saw the middle-aged man shouting "Father!"

This man was Susie's father, the Duke.

The Duke hugged Susie tightly. "Susie, I'm so glad you're alright. I was so worried when I heard the report."

He then looked at Shi Yu, took Shi Yu's hands in his own, and looked excited and relieved.

"Are you the adventurers who saved my daughter? Thank you so much!"

Chapter 454 Susie's Mother

Before Shi Yu and the others could react, the Duke knelt down on one knee to express his gratitude to Shi Yu.

"There's no need for such a grand gesture; this is simply what we should do."

Shi Yu quickly helped the other person up.

"That's really modest."

The Duke laughed heartily.

"Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Alfred, and I am the Duke of this place."

He laughed heartily, and the maids surrounding him bowed slightly to Shi Yu and the others.

Shi Yu seemed a little embarrassed, which made the others feel even more uncomfortable.

They were being entertained.

"Did you come to the capital on a mission to deliver a message?"

After listening to Shi Yu's explanation, the Duke understood.

At that moment, they were sitting on the balcony enjoying tea.

Shi Yu nodded.

“If you hadn’t taken on this case, my daughter might have been kidnapped or even killed.”

The Duke wore a solemn expression.

"I also want to thank your clients."

Shi Yu simply smiled faintly. "What a coincidence. But do you know the attacker's identity?"

The Duke shook his head, but still sighed.

"From a personal standpoint, there must be quite a few people who see me as a thorn in their side, and perhaps some of them want to kidnap my daughter to threaten me."

In fact, the Duke was well aware that many such things had happened to his daughter. After all, it was only natural that some people saw him as a thorn in their side.

"Father, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Just then, Susie's voice came through.

She had changed into a formal dress and looked quite beautiful.

"Have you finished talking to your mother?" the Duke asked.

Susie nodded.

"I already told her, but I didn't mention the attack because I was afraid she would worry."

As they spoke, they sat down over there.

Shi Yu couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"I'm so sorry, I can't meet my daughter's savior," the Duke said from the side.

However, judging from the Duke and Susie's expressions, it seems that something has happened to Susie's mother.

"To be honest, my wife is blind."

"Is he sick?" Shi Yu asked, puzzled.

The Duke nodded. "Five years ago, I suffered a serious illness. Although I survived, I went blind..."

Susie sighed when she heard about her mother's situation.

She patted the Duke's hand. Susie knew that the Duke was very upset about this, so she could only let her stay by her father's side.

"Have you tried magic healing?" Linze and the others asked in confusion.

"Of course, but it's useless. Magic can repair the body after an injury, but it can't do anything about the aftereffects of an illness."

Susie sighed, "If only Grandfather were still alive."

"Why?" Shi Yu asked again.

The Duke replied, “My wife’s father possesses a special kind of magic that can remove physical abnormalities. Susie’s trip was also to understand this magic and learn her grandfather’s magic.”

"A 2.0 version is definitely possible, if we can find users."

Susie's body began to tremble slightly.

After hearing this, a look of worry inevitably appeared on the faces of the group.

Elzer looked at Linze, but Linze shook her head. She understood some special magic, but she could only cast a few elemental spells. She might not be able to cast any special magic.

Chapter 455 I knew you could do it!

“Susie, attribute-less magic is personal magic, and no one else can use it. But I will definitely find someone who can use similar magic so that your mother can see again.”

The Duke's face was resolute; he was determined to find someone with magic so that his wife could see again.

Susie looked worried and was still troubled by the matter.

But the moment the Duke uttered those words, everyone was stunned, and then they all looked at Shi Yu in shock.

They had expectant expressions on their faces.

Upon seeing their appearance, Shi Yu immediately understood what they wanted to do and shook his head helplessly.

"Please let me try if I can."

The Duke couldn't help but ask with some doubt, "You can?"
