Episode 12.20-21 (2/2)
”Hou.”
”What happened to them?”
”I gave some pain relief to one and asked him to go home. His chronic illness acted up, but honestly, there was nothing I could do to that.”
”My condolences.”
”The other one suffered injuries. I gave him an emergency treatment and referred him to the temple.”
”You can get treatment at the temple?”
”Where were you born, Eda?”
”A small village near Boyd.”
”What's the village's name?”
”I don't think it has one.”
”It should have one though. But I see then. No temple would be built in somewhere more rural than Boyd.”
”Yes.”
”All temples offer treatment for the sick and wounded. And they charge a fee for their service.”
”Fee...”
”Medicine and herbs mostly make up the cost of treatment employing them, so it's not too expensive.”
”Yes.”
”However, Temples despise the idea of treatment solely by medicine. They strongly encourage the usage of <Recovery>. Cause well, <Recovery> are divine acts of gods to temples.”
”Is it expensive?”
”It is. Even the lowest class of <Recovery> costs five silver coins per casting. Though it's effective on all kinds of diseases and injuries, only the most skilled practitioner is able to fully heal a patient with a single <Recovery>. Meaning, it often needs twice, thrice the casting. They would even demand gold coins if two priests work together to cast <Recovery>.”
”Buying a red potion would be cheaper by the sounds of it.”
”Where'd you buy something like that?”
”Don't they sell those?”
”I've never seen red potions in store shelves here in this town. Some noblemen and the wealthy did manage to get those potions, but for great prices I believe. Wait a minute.”
”Hum?”
”You two are adventurers, aren't you. A top one even in Lecan's case. Could it be that you've got red potions with you? I'd like to purchase a few pieces of small red potions if so.”
”I do. But none a small red potion. Only mid to large.”
”Oh I can't afford mid ones. That's a shame.”
”I don't need money. We are in your debt. I'll give you all red potions I have.”
”No no no. Those won't be for me to use on. And I've got to charge money if I were to use those potions on my patients. Charging less than the market price is bad.”
Lecan had no clue what's so bad about it, but that's probably true if Norma said so.
”OK then, I'll get you some small red potions during my next dungeon expedition.”
”That'd be helpful. But make sure you use some for yourself when you need 'em, you hear me.”
”Small red potions are practically useless on me. Even the large ones hardly do anything.”
”What? Something like that... could only possible if, Lecan, you're... I see. That left eye, it's”
”Norma-sama. Your ride is here for you.”
”Ah, it's that time already huh. Well then, Lecan, Eda, let's go visit our patients.”
”Yeah.”
”Yes.”
