isn't a high level because of Fixation thing. But if it's Skalabel-sama's
, then.”
”And this Fixation, is?”
Norma answered Skalabel's question.
”As Guide may have known, adventurers who frequent dungeon depths are sometimes unable to heal their old wounds even with Large Red Potions. I believe that is because red potions have fixed rate of healing potential, as well as limitations like decreased effects with successive uses, due to all that, its healing effect may not reach certain parts of patients whose life force is too large.”
”Fumu, fumu. Intriguing. I believe that is likely a correct interpretation.”
”But then, there are also cases where their wounds don't get healed even though they have <Recovery> cast on them and displayed healing effects. After checking Lecan's left eye, I believe it's due to a phenomenon, different from <Overwritten> we discussed yesterday, in which a wound gets recognized as a normal state in the deeper part of body.”
”Indeed. I have witnessed such things myself.”
”It's a high-level magically induced state, but I've yet to understand its mechanism. For argument's sake, I refer to this state as <Fixation>.”
”I see, I see. Quite enlightening. I do dabble in medical treatment but my main profession is an apothecary thus I never delved into such research. But if I am not misunderstanding things here,
with enough depth can restore both <Overwritten> and <Fixation> then.”
”Yes, that's what I have concluded as well. Hence why I told Eda that her
may some day heal Lecan's left eye if she keeps improving on it.”
”So that is how it is. Of course, I would be delighted to cast
on Lecan-dono.”
”T-thank you so much! Aren't you glad, Lecan.”
His left eye can see again.
It'd be wonderful if that really comes true.
The lost of sight in Lecan's left eye may not have hindered him in battle thanks to <3D Perception>.
But it's just not the same as spectacles seen from naked eyes.
Lecan has come to truly appreciate sense of sight precisely because his left eye has lost it.
Perhaps deep in his heart, he has always longed for his lost vision be restored to his left eye.
”Lecan-dono. I shall now cast
on you.”
Skalabel readied his wand.
That was when Lecan saw Eda's face.
She looks pleased. Pleased, for Lecan's sake.
However, in reality Eda must have wanted to heal it herself. That was why she kept casting
every night with utmost effort. And how she kept getting dejected at her failure every night.
Can it really be said that Eda absolutely has no regret or chagrin, asking Skalabel to cast
on Lecan like this?
”No. Guide Skalabel. I'll have to decline.”
”Hou? It might bear no fruit, but there is no harm in trying, is there?”
”It's not like I can't fight just because my left eye can't see. Meaning there's no need to rush. I'd be ecstatic if it could see again though. Well, I can wait.”
”By wait, what are you waiting for?”
”Either for a <God Cure> I found in a treasure chest, or for Eda's
to get better.”
”Hahaha. I see, I see. So that's how it is then. You truly are an extraordinary man, Lecan-dono. That's unthinkable normally.”
”Eh? Eh? What? What's this about? Lecan, it's once in a lifetime chance you know. You can have the highest level
, you know?”
”Hahahaa. Eda-dono. Lecan-dono is saying that he wishes not of my
. He would like your
to heal him.”
”Eeh? Mine?”
”Or perhaps he wished to obtain a <God Cure> with his own hand. I see, so this is adventurer's dream. Lecan-dono lives for his dream. Most impressive indeed.”
