"Never in my life have I seen or made sothing like this." The blacksmith comnted as he handed the needless which were still a little warm but hard as a rock. I wasn't mistaken. This man was the only one who could craft sothing like this. One. He made these needles in only one try and they were perfect down to the last detail.
I smiled as I said, "Thank you. You may not know but because of you, a life will be saved today."
He looked at strangely. "It seems it is true. About you losing your mory." He said before shooing away. I bowed in courtesy before I left the smithy.
I t with Rose outside, and we traveled back to her house. I saw Kate changing the coals with new ones. She stood up once she saw , but I waved my hand before she greeted or knelt.
There was no ti to lose. I removed the coal from the patient's back and raised his body by placing all the mats and pillows in the house. Since there was no anesthesia, I could only block his neural vessels to stop him from feeling the pain. But that didn't an that his body wouldn't react, so I instructed both Rose and Kate, "No matter what happens, hold him and keep your faith strong."
I applied the burning side of the coal to the swollen part but there was not much reaction from the patient. Then I inserted one needle from the side of the swelling to block the blood flow. It was a risky move since if I hit the wrong nerve, internal bleeding might comnce but luckily it didn't. The needle was sharp but blunt enough to press the vessel, not penetrate it.
The craftsmanship of the old man was astonishing. But now ca the hardest part. I inserted the second needle which was thicker than simple needles. The reason being that this needle also acted as a funnel.
Its head was a hole that would insert itself in the puss and the puss would flow out from the other side of the needle. The problem was that although the needle wasn't thick, it was thick by the standards of the human body so any deep insertion or if there were any vessels around the Abscess, it would be ga over.
Slowly and steadily, I inserted the needle while with my other hand, I took his pulse from the area around his lung. As soon as the needle the blob of puss, he started trembling, but Rose and Kate held him down.
I turned the needle slightly and spun it ever so slightly and he stopped trembling. Everything stopped altogether, such as his breathing. Rose and Kate were about to panic when I placed my mouth at the other end of the needle and sucked.
After a few monts, puss started flowing from the other end of the needle and I was happy to see that there was no blood in it. It ant the treatnt worked. The patient also took a deep breath right at that mont to show that he was alive.
I let the puss flow which was quite a lot from the looks of it. It was a miracle how he had lived this long. Once all the puss had stopped flowing out, I carefully extracted the funnel needle, and then just as I was about to extract the needle holding his blood flow, I applied the heal skill while taking it out.
Even a heal was amazing at this point. Good enough for to not require any dicine to regulate the blood flow and close any internal wounds. The healing didn't work before because the defense chanism of the body had stopped the puss in one place therefore making it a part of the body.
Once done, I unblocked his neural vessels to resu the connection between his body and the brain so it wouldn't be long before he woke up.
"His breathing is normal now. Try to feed him sothing with a lot of fat. Rose, take so beef from the castle under my na and feed it to him after cooking it thoroughly." I started spewing instructions but both Rose and Kate were looking at with their mouths open.
"Now," I yelled, and they both snapped out of their reverie. Rose hurriedly left acting on my instructions while Kate ca closer to her husband and held his hand. Since I had nothing left to do, I left the house after Rose left and made my way to the commoner's district.

It was pleasant to see the change in my status. In just one day I had increased my level enough to now run about two hundred ters without running out of breath.
[You call that an achievent?]
'Huh! What would you know? There were days when running an extra ter was an accomplishnt to .' I wasn't always strong. Fragnt or not, I wasn't born strong. Yet every ti I made my way up from rock bottom and every ti, even a minor improvent was an achievent.
'Transfer the language pack.' I asked Allison and the next mont; a lot of information was poured into my head. Although I could understand everyone since earlier, our lips weren't in sync. It ant that they were speaking in another language, but it was being translated. The sa was the case in vice versa.
But that didn't an that I could write. That was why I needed the universal language pack. Usually, it isn't free, but Allison is more in control than I had first assud.
Anyway, now that I was done with that, I went to a shop and a fat rchant broke into cold sweat when he saw . I ignored his reaction and asked, "Give a piece of charcoal and a skin to write on. If you have paper, then give that to instead."
Although troubleso, he still gave the things I required without asking anything. His reaction was troubleso as if I would gobble him up the next mont. It was the sa for every shop I went to.
I returned to the slums and embedded the board on which I had written my resu in the ground. It simply read, "Free treatnt of any curable disease."
I couldn't treat diseases related to mana since I had none myself. It was the sa case in every fragnt. It was for this reason, that I had to resort to other powers and also why unlike my father, my research in power was related to life, not to death.
[Shouldn't you be doing everything in your power to get strong?]
Allison asked but I didn't think the sa. Of course, if I wanted to, I could beco stronger than everyone in this world in just a small span of five years. That was if I didn't try my hardest. Just consider how much less that ti would be if I gave it my all.
But first and foremost, I was a doctor. The number of people flocked with sickness was the most in the slum area and I noticed it the mont I entered the slums. I will first deal with this, then I will focus on getting stronger.
Still, with my reputation, no one stopped, and everyone avoided like a plague. Correction, they would rather embrace a plague than .
I, however, was not disheartened. It's not the first ti I am treated like this. And all I had to do was wait. They were all humans in the end. When they would lose all hope, they would turn to the only option they had. .
It wasn't long before I was proven right when a mother ca to vigilantly while carrying a baby in her arms. The baby was burning hot. The baby, who was apparently a girl, wasn't more than three months old.
"Please, help." She said while crying and she even forgot to kneel to . Of course, she would. Her child might as well not live for long. She would hardly have any ti for common courtesies.
Anyway, "Give her to ." I took the baby from her and gave her a thorough check-up and was instantly relieved. Her symptoms were very simple. Runny nose, Nasal congestion. Her throat was a little welled which would indicate a sore throat and her body was burning which was a sign of fever.
All symptoms point to only one problem. Rhinovirus. Thank goodness as I have no antibiotics with right now. If it had been a case of pneumonia, then I would have been stuck.
Luckily, Rhinovirus doesn't require antibiotics of any kind. Treatnt was also very easy, so I said, "Go ho and bring boiling water and salt. Hurry."
She was confused but still ran ho. She returned after a few monts with her hand quite red which ant that she ended up burning herself. Still, she brought the water in a pan and salt with her. I handed over the baby to her, took the water, and poured about half a teaspoon of salt in the water about one cup.
Once done, I stirred it violently which burned as well but since there was no proper equipnt to do so, there was no other choice. Done with that, I had my saline solution prepped to be administrated. Of course, I couldn't do so while it was hot.
Just about at that ti, Rose had found as well. "Ahh, Rose. Perfect timing. Don't ask. In fact, don't speak at all. Run along and get so honey.
Hurry."
Before she could ask what was going on, I had already instructed her on what I needed next. Being as loyal as ever, Rose didn't inquire about anything and left to get honey and just after fifteen minutes, she was back.
I took the honey, tasted it to make sure it wasn't too mild for the baby, and administered it to relieve the sore throat of the baby. Then I took my readied saline solution inserted a few drops of it through her nose and then turned her on her back.
She sneezed after a few monts which also removed any waste in her nostrils. Since she was a baby, I doubted that there would be much, so I did it again. This ti the waste was quite less. On doing it again, there was hardly any of it.
The fourth ti was the charm and now the girl was breathing normally. The issue of her fever still remained but that would soon be done with. The problem was the sa as Rose's father. Heal spell or skill, heals the whole body. This ant that if it was applied to the baby while the waste was inside her, the waste wouldn't have been removed. Once it was removed, then there was no problem at all.
"Heal." I applied the heal skill to the baby and her fever died down quite quickly. Even though I was a man of science, I still had to give a thumbs up to heal. Otherwise, this fever would have taken at least three days to die down, yet it was gone with just a wave of my hand.
Next, I took the boiled water, which was now slightly warm only, and applied heal on it as well. This would purify the water and make it safe for baby consumption.
"Only feed this water to her along with whatever you want to feed her. If you run out of water, then find or a priest and have them apply heal on the water. Do this for only one weak and her sore throat will be completely cured." I instructed the mother amidst her nonstop rants of gratitude. I also applied another heal on her hand and there was another round of gratitude.
However, her nonstop chants of gratitude also attracted the attention of the surrounding people. I was finally about to get busy.
