424 Magi Craft Meister
13 Stronghold Enhancement Arc
13-12 The Healer
When they reached Linus’ house puffing and blowing, a lot of people were gathering in front of the house.
“Oh, Jin! You came back!”
“Hey, Jin is back!”
Most of the people gathering in front of the house were men. Even Linus himself was outside.
“M-Martha, Jin is back!”
The door opened, and Martha appeared.
“Jin! Mine and Elsa, too! You’ve come at the right time! Mine, Elsa, please help me! … Jin, I’m sorry but you’ll have to wait outside.”
Martha, who beckoned Elsa and Mine, closed the door as soon as they entered the house.
Upon listening more carefully, a painful moan could be heard coming from inside the house. Jin asked Linus what was happening.
“Well, around noon today, Sera said her stomach was suddenly hurting. Martha took a look at her condition, but after 2 hours, she started to suffer terrible pain ….”
Linus and Sera had an eight-year-old daughter, Patty, so this was not her first birth.
A few moments later, the door opened and Mine appeared. When she spotted where Jin was, she made her report in a hurry.
“Lord Jin! Ms. Sera is having a breech delivery! If this continues, both the mother and child’s lives are in danger! Do you know of a midwife or a Healer who’s familiar with this kind of childbirth?”
Mine had only given birth to Elsa. Even though Elsa had some knowledge, she had no experience. Martha could not do anything regarding breech delivery.
“Since Elsa is there, both of them should be in less danger. But it can’t be left as it is. Please, find an experienced Healer!”
“A-all right!”
After answering briefly, Jin rushed back to the workshop. Of course, Reiko followed him as well.
“Father, what are you going to do?”
“… I have no choice but to go to some city and bring back a midwife or a Healer.”
Jin answered while dashing down to the basement.
“But I don’t have time to search for them …. Oh, that’s right!”
Jin suddenly remembered Sally Milleshan, a healer he met in Tellurus. She was an exceptional Healer. Even if she was not familiar with childbirth, she would most likely be able to refer Jin to one.
Jin went to Horai Island through the Warp Gate and asked Laojun the coordinates of the Warp Gate that was the closest to Tellurus.
“The ruins of the 8th fort would be the closest.”
That was the site where the Unifiers used as their base when they kidnapped Elsa.
“Got it. Just like the day before yesterday, I’m leaving with Pegasus 1 via the Transporter. Then I’ll use the Warp Gate on Pegasus 1 to come back.”
Jin was using the same method of traveling as when he investigated Marcus.
This time, the ruins of the 8th fort was the marker, so the error was small.
With Invisible activated, they approached the riverside near Tellurus. That was the riverside where MIne was washed up ashore with serious injury.
After landing Pegasus 1 there, Jin and Reiko disembarked.
As a matter of precaution, Pegasus 1 was left standing by, hovering in the air. It would descend if Jin called upon it.
It was a little after 1 pm at Tellurus.
Jin headed straight for the Milleshan Healing Center.
“I’m sure it’s around here somewhere ….”
At the end of a narrow road, he found a familiar door with the sign “Milleshan Healing Center” written on it.
“Here, here!”
The door was tattered with holes here and there. There were pebbles and stones scattered around as well.
The place seemed to be deserted, but Jin pushed open the door and went inside.
“Hello.”
There was no reply. There no patients in sight. Everything was quiet.
“Doctor? Doctor Sally Milleshan?”
When Jin called her name out loud, a noise was heard coming from the back. Jin went further inside to check it out.
He found Sally in the far corner of a dimly lit room.
“Doctor …!”
“Hmm? … Who are you? ….”
Her appearance was unkempt with dirty clothes, ruffled hair, and hollow cheeks.
Although her dark blonde ponytail and blue eyes remained unchanged, Jin could not believe his eyes that he was looking at Sally Milleshan, who had always been dedicated to her work.
“… What in the world happened?”
“Hmm? Oh, oh, you’re … Jin, aren’t you?”
Sally asked while an alcoholic breath oozed out of her mouth.
“As you can see, I’m drinking because I don’t have any patients. That’s all there is to it.”
“Why don’t you have any patients?”
The question seemed to have been taboo. Sally’s eyes turned vindictive.
