69 Chapter 17: Pharmacy (2/2)
”T-The cake is fine.” Said serena
I'm getting more and more used to it, Your teasing won't work on me anymore...
We followed the path as the man said and began to look around for the herb sign
”This kingdom feels sort of safe,” Said Ariel
”Why would you say that?” I asked
”There hasn't been any robberies since we came in” Ariel replied
”You're right...” I muttered
”Over there.” Said Eleanor as she pointed over at the herb sign shop
”Looks like we found it, let's go, I'll go get alfred.”
After i said that, We got off the carriage and parked it slightly off the road on the side road. I picked up Alfred and we went inside the store with him.
The inside wasn't too big or small, it was a perfect size. There were potions all around the store on the shelves, each store in some sort of cylinder small bottle.
I called them potions but they might be something else, i cant tell from just the shape.
”Welcome, How may i hel-!?”
Before she could finish, she stopped once she noticed alfred unconscious on my back.
”What happened to him?” She asked as she went over to us.
”He was poisoned, We gave him an antidote but he hasn't woken up since.”
”How bad was it when you gave him the antidote?” She asked as she performed a check up on him
She checked his pupils and mouth to see if anything was blocking his breathing and the sort.
”He was coughing blood” I replied
When she heard me, the receptionist made a worried expression
”What's wrong? Will he be fine?” Asked Eleanor
”He'll be fine, Sorry, i was just thinking about how hard it must have been for him.” She said
”What do you mean?” I asked
”The antidote won't help much if it spread to the point where he was coughing up blood,
”So you're telling me, he hasn't been getting better?” I Asked
”No, but it was enough to weaken the poison so that it wouldn't kill him. Whoever gave him the antidote did a good job at saving his life.” She replied
After that she began to chant something, I couldn't understand it, now that i think about it, i couldn't understand any chantings so far from any mage,
Could it be..? I don't have any talent for chanting? No maybe it's in another magic spell language that i don't understand, but if that's the case how long will it take to learn it? The entrance exam will start soon won't it?
I've only met around 5 so it's two soon to judge... I should ask Eleanor when the entrance exams are, after Alfred is healed, me and Ariel need to learn how to chant... And if she was able to do it when she possessed my body, then i should to...
”Advanced Holy magic: Purify” Muttered the receptionist
A bright light was formed around her arms which were placed slightly above alfreds, The expression of pain on his face, seemed to be fading.
Nearly instantaneous effects, her abilities are no joke... At this rate he'll wake up.
”Alfred, make sure you hurry up and wake up. The person whom you tried so hard to protect ,is waiting, after all.”
