Olena had a fever and was drowsy. Finger confirmed that the wound had not worsened and there was no purulent infection or inflammation.
The only way to explain her persistent high fever is that she was too frightened.
Colin was even more disappointed with Olena, who was so weak and fragile.
Angel, who originally liked Olena because of her looks, is now really speechless.
A magician who got a high fever after being frightened by a monster? How embarrassing for a magician!
Colin asked Finger about Olena's condition and finally decided to send Olena back first.
Under the care of Sally, a team of 10 knights was sent, and Olena was taken back to the Adri Castle lying in the carriage.
In the following days, Ange returned to the knight team with satisfaction. He rushed to wherever there were monsters and was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood every day.
Colin continued to collect herbs with his apprentices, teaching them how to use them.
Occasionally, they would encounter a few magical beasts that had escaped the net while picking herbs, but with Colin around, the magical beasts were no threat at all.
Time flies and it is already mid-October.
Lin Xiaoman didn't know about other places, but in the area of Yadrui, the summers were very hot, the winters were very cold, and the transitional seasons of spring and autumn were very short.
Accompanied by a heavy rain, the weather turned cold sharply, and it became cold all of a sudden, with the temperature dropping by more than ten degrees.
A sign that winter is coming.
While the temperature was still above zero and there was no heavy snow, the logging work was completed and the large group began to head back.
Winter in Adre is a world of white ice and snow. The days of staying at home are about to begin.
Sitting in a carriage, Lin Xiaoman returned to the city with the Knights.
Lin Xiaoman returned to the castle exhausted and got off the carriage. Just as he was about to say goodbye to Colin, the guard who had been waiting there came forward and said, "Master Colin, the Duke wants you to go to his study."
"Now?" It was already afternoon, and Colin was a little confused. Was there something urgent?
"Yes, His Excellency the Duke has been waiting for most of the day."
"Okay, I understand."
"Grandpa Colin, I want to go with you!" Thinking of a possibility, Lin Xiaoman hurried to catch up.
Soon, they arrived at the study.
In the study, the Duke and Duchess, Ang who arrived earlier by horseback, and two chief officers of their Laurent family were all of the same generation as the Duke and were Ang and Lin Xiaoman's elders.
Finger waited outside the door conscientiously. As soon as Colin and Lin Xiaoman entered, Anger started shouting, "Teacher Colin, this is bad! Olena has angered the God of Light and is being punished! She has no magic power left!"
"What?" Upon hearing this, Colin was stunned. He swayed unsteadily and almost fell.
"Grandpa Colin, be careful." Lin Xiaoman hurriedly supported him, feeling ecstatic. Oh, oh, oh! Olena actually ate the black devil's fruit herself!
She had originally planned to find an opportunity to strike in the winter.
After several deep breaths, Colin finally recovered from the shock. With a trembling voice, he asked in disbelief, "What do you mean by not being able to sense magic power?"
"It's like this. Olena came back because she was sick, and then..." The Duchess spoke slowly, her voice filled with regret and sorrow, "She had a fever for two days before she recovered. After she recovered, Sally came to tell me that Olena said she had no magic power anymore."
Lin Xiaoman thought secretly, Finger said that Olena's wound showed no signs of inflammation at all, so the fever was caused by eating the devil fruit?
"I've lost my magic power!" Colin's eyes widened, shaking his head in disbelief. "No, that's impossible. How could this happen? Is it because I'm sick and can't use my magic power temporarily?"
"I wish that was all, but since that day, we've conducted three magic tests on her, but there was no reaction, just like an ordinary person," said a chief officer.
"Colin, do you think the God of Light might be dissatisfied with Olena and have taken her magic power away?" Duke Laurent said gravely. "Anger said Olena's performance in the Monster Forest was truly terrible. She's so cowardly, it's possible the God of Light doesn't like her."
"Maybe." After a long silence, Colin sighed helplessly.
Since it has been measured three times, then Orina's magic power should really have been taken back by the God of Light and she has become an ordinary person again.
Colin was a well-read person, and he had read in relevant books that there was indeed a record of "magic power being taken back by the God of Light."
"It's because I, as a teacher, failed to teach Olena well that she couldn't become a brave magician." Colin's face was filled with repentance as he knelt devoutly facing the west. "May the God of Light forgive my incompetence."
With Colin taking the lead, everyone in the study knelt down one after another and sincerely confessed, "May the God of Light forgive me."
Lin Xiaoman naturally followed the local customs.
After finishing her confession to the God of Light and rising, the Duchess was the first to break the silence. "Regarding Olena, this is truly a pity. But since she's an ordinary person now, Ange and Olena's marriage should be canceled. What do you think?"
"Ah? Mom, can't I marry Olena?" Angel was obviously a little stupid and didn't understand the interests involved.
"Without her identity as a magician, Olena is indeed not qualified to be Ange's wife."
"Baron Kate has no real power at all. Their Kate family has long been in decline. If it weren't for Olenna's awakening of magic, and without the servants, farmers, and fields our Laurent family gave them, their Kate family probably wouldn't even be able to support knights now."
The two Laurentian governors unanimously agreed to cancel Angel's marriage.
"Colin, what do you think?" The Duke asked Colin for his opinion, but it was obvious that he also wanted to cancel the marriage. "Ange is my son, and he will be the heir to my title in the future. And Olena has lost her magic power, which is a punishment from the God of Light. Ane cannot marry a woman punished by the God of Light. The bloodline of our Laurent family must never be tainted by sin. Without the protection of the God of Light, the entire family will decline!"
"I..." Colin was silent for a moment, thinking of Olena's disappointing performance in the Monster Forest. He finally shook his head and said, "I also feel that Olena is not suitable to be the future mistress of our Laurent family."
"Angel, what about you?"
"Me?" Ange scratched his head in confusion, feeling somewhat distressed. Finally, he said, "Dad, Mom, you decide."
Angel's affection for Olena was solely due to her looks. Although this change was too sudden, he would not go against the wishes of the entire Laurent family because of Olena.
"That's it. The land and servants that were given to the Kate family will not be taken back. Just consider it as compensation to them." Duke Laurent made the final decision.
