Chapter 397: Chapter 239: Humiliating me with Money? _1
Aestolia’s eyes were injured as a result of a magic backlash while casting a Forbidden Spell, shortly after she had just promoted to an Arcane Magician.

Backlashes of magic are serious accidents. In minor cases, they result in injury, but in severe cases, they can cause a person to burst and die. Despite the price of damaging her eyes, she managed to survive.
However, this didn’t seem to be a bad thing. Although she lost her sight, Aestolia’s perception of the Magic Elements became keener, and her understanding of magic became more three-dimensional and vivid.
This resulted in a massive progression in her understanding of magic. She broke the boundary between the arcane and the truth, become a Truth Mage, and awakened the Forbidden Magic Domain, which is considered the nemesis of mages. She earned the title of the God of Truth and Law in the Elemental Deadland.
“Perhaps because I’m blind, I am more sensitive to the elements,” was Aestolia’s conclusion.
So now, she teaches her students to cover their eyes during their apprenticeship.
However, every advantage has a disadvantage. Her blindness also became a hurdle in her progress, hindering her from reaching higher levels. Moreover, there were some awkward issues.

Now, she perceives things through elemental fluctuations. Any object, in essence, has an elemental reaction, such as, the body of an elf contains a large amount of the Water Element. In her perception, these elves or humans are clusters of walking water elements.
Land, wind, fire, light … all kinds of elements make up the colorful world in her perception. However, there is one awkward problem. Perceiving through elements lacks many details – a dirty face, a torn skirt, stepping on excrement…
As a result, one could often see a truth powerhouse walking around with grime, and because of her status, others would not dare to remind her, sometimes even assuming that it was merely her unique style.
Later, she only moved about by floating, and before going out, she would use the Water Element to cleanse her body then dry it with the wind. She would do this regardless if she was dirty or clean, she’d wash first and then discuss later.
Actually, these minor embarrassments in life can be easily resolved by having a few attendants, or by marrying a few male elves to serve her. Given her status, this was entirely reasonable.
However, she was not the kind of person who liked things walking around her. She did not even keep pets, let alone tolerate male elves, so she could only pay more attention by herself.
If her eyes could be healed, these life inconveniences would be easily resolved. Especially in seven or eight hundred years, when she will be old, she wouldn’t have to worry about not being able to care for herself.
However, treating the eyes is not an easy task. Even the Church of Light, famous for its healing abilities, is able to regenerate limbs but cannot cure blindness.
Elves themselves are also adept at healing, but all the elves that are good at it have examined her and declared their helplessness.
“The magic backlash caused a large part of the nerves behind your eyes to die. Simply restoring the eyes is not enough, you have to connect the nerves and the eyes. But these nerves are related to the brain, any operation is very risky and can easily turn you into an idiot. So, unless you can revive these nerves, it is impossible to cure it,”
The last Great Druid concluded to her.
Aestolia thought there was no hope for the treatment of her eyes. Is there any way to revive the necrotic nerves that connect to the brain?

That is until recently, when she was staying in the Goddess of Beauty City, she discovered a teeth whitening treatment package…
“Your teeth whitening package can restore nerves and regrow teeth. I’m sure it can also treat my eyes. If you can heal my eyes, you will gain the loyalty of a truth powerhouse,”
Aestolia confidently said. She was indeed very confident. She believed that no one could refuse this offer, no one could refuse the loyalty of a Truth Mage.
Although the value of a Truth Mage cannot be measured in terms of money, there are some who are willing to make extra money. For example, Tyrone from the Republic of Stellaris. The cost for him to take action once is 500,000 Demon Crystal and he doesn’t undertake any harm-related tasks.
For example, paying him to escort goods, protect a money lender, or help ‘stoke the fire’ while forging something, or help change the terrain while building a dam, etc. But asking him to kill or break into a city is not acceptable.
As can be seen, a true powerhouse taking action at least once values at more than 500,000 Demon Crystal. So how much does the loyalty of a Truth Mage value?
Priceless.
If it’s the loyalty of an ‘elf’ True Mage, how much is it worth?
Priceless, multiplied by sixteen times. Because elves live longer, the peak of their magic power is at least sixteen times that of a human Truth Mage. Typically, the longer I live, the more valuable it is.
In many human knight novels, the strongest inheritance of the family is an ancestral elf…
It made one of her young friends she knows keep tempting her: “Come and join me, I’ll pay you a high salary.”
Of course, what treatment, loyalty and everything are all excuses. The real reason she said to Gailard at the beginning was: “Elves cannot be without the Tree of Life, use all means to capture it. If you can’t capture it, establish a good relationship, and one day in the future, ask your clan to take refuge in it and pray for its protection.”

This ‘it’ … Aestolia subconsciously looked to Ange’s top of the head, where there should have been a flowerpot. Little Sapling would peep out from the edge of the pot, and prompt any unfamiliar objects to grow―
Because she looked at the top of Ange’s head and was distracted, Aestolia heard a sentence, but she thought she heard it wrong and subconsciously asked: “What?!”
