Chapter 88: Physicians Guild (1/2)
After waiting for 5 minutes, finally, a girl walked out from inside. ”Ah, here she is. She will take you in, dear customer,” the receptionist said.
The girl looked at Ning with surprise and said, ”You, what are you doing here?”
”Oh, it's you. Uhh… sister Mikaela. Good morning. My Night Snatcher here needs some treatment, so I came here,” he said.
The girl was the granddaughter of Kaezir Brouch, named Mikaela Brouch. ”Is that so?” she said with a cold face and looked towards the bird. After confirming that he was telling the truth, she told him to follow her and walked back inside the building.
After a long corridor with many rooms to the side, he finally reached one of the rooms where a middle ages gentleman was staying in.
”Master, we have a customer,” she said as she walked in.
”Oh,” the man said as he looked towards the door. He saw Ning standing there and asked, ”Dear customer, are you injured.”
Ning looked back at the bald middle-aged man and told him that it was his beast that needed the help and not him. After learning about it, he asked to see the Night Snatcher and carefully examined the bird.
After a while, he reached into his storage bag and took out a bunch of ingredients. ”Take out a clean slab,” he said to Mikaela.
”Yes, Master,” she said and walked towards the drawers on the side of the room and took out a stone slab with a smaller stone from inside. She handed it to the man and he started crushing the different ingredients in it.
He would measure each ingredient before putting it in and use only the required amount. In the end, after he crushed all the ingredients into the slab, he mixed it until it formed a grayish-black paste.
He took out a ceramic bottle from his storage bag and put all of the paste inside, aside from a bit. He then handed the bottle to Ning.
”Can I get the bird once more please?” he asked.
”Of course, here you go,” Ning said and handed Night to the man. Night was pretty docile right now under Ning's orders.
The bald man took the remaining paste on the slab and applied it gently on Night's wound. Night started crying, ”Hurt. Burn. Pain.” ”Just endure it, it's good for you,” Ning said.
Night stopped struggling after that. After he was done applying the paste, the bald man looked back towards Ning and said, ” Apply the paste twice a day for about a week and he will be fine. Just don't let him fly around or sit on his leg.”
”I see, thank you. How much do I have to pay?” he asked. ”3 gold coins,” the bald man said. 'Hmm… that's cheap right?' he thought, still quite unsure about the value of gold coins.
'Whatever,' he thought and paid the amount. ”Amitabha,” the man said in response.
