36 Chapter 36 (1/2)

”Usher the last one out, Peter.” I said to the old man. Although the event in the morning stained my great entrance, i did not let it ruin the rest of my day.

A hasty shower and a new set of freshly made mystical robes did that trick easily.

I sighed and had an excessive urge to stand and stretch my limbs out but when I remembered to keep a doughty façade in, i stayed still to provide the illusion of a preternatural expert.

I gazed at the opened windows and saw that the day was now showing the last of its lights which signified the end of another cycle.

I was tired amidst the countless inspections and wanted nothing but close my eyes and sleep. But that would have to come for later.

I still have to await the prize at the end of this quest.

”As you wish, master!” Peter hastily called the family of my last patient and carried the sick out of my sight.

I lost count of the made up names of diseases I conjured but my cure only really consisted of one thing. A vaccine of nano medicine.

The people who got injected today will have no problem living up to a hundred years of life, easy. A prodigious equivalent for a mere bronze coin of recompense.

Especially when the most common payment for checkups and healing in these parts of the world was one silver coin or a thousand bronze coins. I shook my head at the fate of these poor people.

”Are you tired, master? We already prepared your lodging for the night in one of the residence.” Peter offered, same as the meal that I tactfully declined.

I can't imagine how their food would taste like after seeing how deprived these people were.

I certainly did not lack these amenities myself and I even decided to give them a hundred boxes of ready to eat meals which won me the hearts of this community.

”Yes. I would love that, Peter. Thank you.” I answered and stood to follow the old man out of the house.

The neighborhood was dark and all I could see were the lights coming off the houses within while outside rendered anyone else basically walking under the shadows of this moonless night.

”I will have someone outside to guard your doors for the evening, master. Is there anything else we could offer you?” Peter asked after he guided me inside my chambers.
