84- Deal
Hello, Orochi. My na is Sheela. I have heard a lot about you from my daughters mouth. Thank you for taking caring of Arlia.
Said Arlias mother or Sheela.
Ummm... yea...
I could not think of a proper answer because it was hard to maintain eye contact with Sheela since she was so attractive and I feared that they might find my stare/look similar to that of a pervert.
Fufu... Looks like your boyfriend is shy.
Hearing this I just laughed awkwardly and Arlia who was beside , replied in a stuttering voice
Ahh...Aunt Bertha, he...he is not my boyfriend. And I wont ever talk to you if say that again.
fufufu... my niece is getting angry on her Aunt huh? Alright then, I will not tease you in front of your boyfriend then.
AHHH....Aunt!!! Go, I wont talk to you anymore.
With that Arlia ran out of the room.
Seeing her running away, I was startled because Arlia was a link between Sheela and I. And if she was not present, it would be difficult for discuss matter regarding the cure for the poison.
But before I could call her, Arlia was already gone.
Since Arlia was gone, it would look cowardly if I could not talk for what I have co. So, I decided to take my chances. I tried calming down and asked Sheela
Sheela, I heard that the poison in my body can be cured? Is that correct?
I looked at Sheela with expectation.
Yes.
I felt relieved after hearing this answer. And my tensed muscles relaxed.
So, I quickly asked her
Could you please tell how can it be solved?
Hmm... I could tell you but what do I get in return?
Sheela asked with a smile.
Hearing this I felt that a bucket of cold water was poured on . But since I need to solve the poison issue, I decided to throw away any unnecessary pride.
Well, there is no free food in this world, huh? But what can I give her?
Seeing my troubled expression, Sheela chuckled and spoke
I was just joking... well just partially.
Sheela continued,
I am grateful to you for looking after my daughter. So, I will tell you how your problem can be solved.
As you might know, the poisons used on you is one of the most lethal combinations, especially for a human like you. (Devils Breath) which prevent you from cultivating and (Nine tis destroying herb) which chips away the cultivation level and cripples the person who consus it. There is hardly any cure to this.
Of course, there might be people who possess great knowledge in the field of dicines and poisons, or there might be miraculous dicines that can just save you. But I dont think that it would be easier to find those and even if you did, then you will have to prepare to pay the price for it.
But luckily, you have t Arlia and destiny has brought you to us.
As you know, the serpent family has many poisonous sub families in it. And there is hardly any living being who is more knowledgeable in the field of poison when compared to the serpent family. The serpent family has the deadliest poisons available and also the cure for those. And we are the ones that can help you in removing the poison from your body.
And for your information, Bertha over here belongs to the royal family. And if we both join our hands then we can cure you.
Hearing this I fell into contemplation. What Sheela said about - I can find people or dicines that can cure my problem, is true but it would be practically impossible for though. Because, I belonged to the Leon clan which holds a huge power in the Saurastra kingdom. And since their power could not even find the (Devils Breath) that was lurking in my body, then I hardly expect anyone else to help . Of course, if I travel all of Pagero Continent, then I might soone but it would be like searching a needle in a haystack.
And I dont know how much my body and health will deteriorate by then. So, instead of keeping my hopes on fake dream and wasting my ti, I should quickly solve my problem.
And from what I understood, both Bertha and Sheela together can solve my problem. But from their expressions I can understand that require sothing from .
Well, it's not like I have anything to lose. As long as they dont ask for my life and their requirent does not cross my limit, I can pay any price to get my poison cured.
So, taking a deep breath, I asked
Then I would ask for your help and if there is any condition or requirent, please tell . As long as it is not my life, I can do anything for the cure,
Fufufu...Orochi was it? Not bad. You knew that we will not help you for free. Maybe, Sheela would have agreed to help you without any condition, but I wont because I do not trust humans. But from what I heard, you risked your life for Arlia, which has earned my appreciation. Hence, I am willing to help as long as you promise to fulfill 4 conditions. Mine 2 condition and Sheelas 2, what do you think Sheela?
Bertha looked at Sheela.
Yes, if you agree to our 4 conditions then we will help you with the poison in your body. And dont worry, it won't be difficult conditions. What do you think?
Replied Sheela, while looking at .
I replied without any hesitation
Yes, I accept it. As long as you dont ask for my life and dont ask to be your slave, I accept any condition that you have.
