Chapter 42: Two Kinds of Pills
“Sir Aethelwolf, did you manage to get the herbs you need for grandfather?” Samira asked as she lowered her spoon and fork.
Leric nodded his head as he swallowed down the food in his mouth. “Now that you ntioned it. The owner of the shop where I got the herbs is a friend of your grandfather. He also told to send his regards to you.”
Samira’s eyes glowed after hearing his words. “You must have visited Sir Johann’s shop!” Her eyes then dimd down as she muttered. “Unfortunately, Sir Johann is also afflicted with a terrible illness and I heard from my grandfather that it was incurable. What a pity!” She shook her head and resud eating her food with a despondent look.
Seeing her expression, Leric chuckled as he said. “You don’t have to worry about this. I also noticed his condition when I saw him, but Sir Johann wasn’t afflicted with an illness. There was a parasite inside his heart and it has been absorbing his vitality.”
Hearing this, Samira raised her head and stared at Leric with excitent. “Sir Aethelwolf, does that an you were able to remove the parasite inside Sir Johann’s heart?”
Leric nodded his head with a smile. “I was lucky enough to remove the parasite from his body. Sir Johann would be fine after a week of recovery.”
Samira and the two maids were excited. They beca even more confident about him.
.....
From what they heard, Sir Johann’s condition was examined by Lord Karman, but he wasn’t able to do anything about it. However, a strange illness that had plagued Sir Johann was treated by Sir Aethelwolf and he wasn’t even gone for long! It was only a few hours since they parted, but during those few hours, he was actually treating Sir Johann! How impressive!
How would they react if they knew that he also went to the Maynard Household’s weapon shop and created an antidote for Enrique Maynard?
Leric chuckled in his heart as he thought about their possible reactions.
“I will visit Sir Johann after this al. I also haven’t seen Anna for a long ti. I wonder how she’s doing...” Samira mumbled before munching down on her food.
Leric grabbed a clean napkin and wiped the oil stains on his lips. He then put it down and glanced at Samira as he said in a serious tone. “You have to be careful on your way there, Miss Samira. I noticed so hostile auras while I was on my way here. I think soone from the Northern Viper Group is tailing us.”
Samira’s face turned grave as she listened. The Northern Viper Group actually managed to chase them to Vale City! That ans that there was a capable leader among the scouts sent by the enemy! “Thank you for telling this, Sir Aethelwolf. I will bring my guards with to prevent them from having any dangerous thoughts.”
Leric shook his head with a calm look. “That won’t be enough. From what I sensed earlier, there should be a Level 3 Esper among them. You and your guards alone could not handle them. You might as well ask for support from Captain Phillip. The Northern Viper Group would hesitate to attack if a high-ranking soldier like him is staying with you guys. Furthermore, he has so strong subordinates with him.”
Samira and the two maids stared at each other before nodding their heads in unison. They were stunned when they heard that Leric sensed a Level 3 Esper monitoring their movents. “We’ll do as you say, Sir Aethelwolf!”
“Good! Thank you for the al.” Leric smiled as he stood up from his seat. With them gone, he could finally begin refining the two pills he needed.
“Here’s the key to the room we got for you, Sir Aethelwolf. Don’t worry. We won’t be gone for long.” Samira handed a golden key to Leric.
Looking at the glowing golden key, he knew that the young miss of the Reynolds Household must have chosen the best room in the hotel for him. What a nice young lady! So rich and kind!
“Thank you, Miss Samira. I shall begin my preparations. I still have ti to make dicine for your grandfather.” Leric said as he kept the key inside his storage space.
After bidding farewell to the three ladies, he went upstairs and looked for his room.
According to Samira, his room was located on the topmost floor of the building.
Upon arriving in front of his room, Leric took out the golden key and unlocked the door. “Not bad!” He muttered as he looked inside.
It was comparable to a presidential suite in his past life! There was a kitchen, a bedroom with a king-size bed, a large living room, a working room, and a restroom. The view from the balcony was also great!
Leric went to the working room that had a neat brick flooring. There were all sorts of equipnt for Blacksmiths, Alchemists, and Engravers. Most of them were even of high quality!
Leric set his sights on a cauldron. It was many tis more valuable than the cauldron he got from his mother’s clinic. It was a Rare cauldron!
Leric grabbed the cauldron and placed it on the multi-purpose working table. He then took out the herbs he got from Johann’s shop and sorted them.
He planned to refine two kinds of pills this ti. The first one was an anti-bacterial herb for Julius Reynolds and the other one was a pill that could make his Hegel wider and sturdier!
“The anti-bacterial herb is easier to make, so I should make it first.” He muttered as he sorted the herbs into two sections. The first section is for the ingredients of the anti-bacterial pill, and the second section is for the ingredients of the other pill.
While Leric was refining the two pills, Samira brought Skylar, Kathlyn, and her guards to the camp of Captain Phillip.
“Miss Samira is looking for ?!” Captain Phillip’s eyes widened in shock when he heard his subordinate’s report. He abruptly stood up from his seat and went to receive his guests.
“Welco to our camp, Miss Samira! I hope that I didn’t make you wait for long.” Captain Phillip greeted them warmly. He was happy that Samira visited their camp when they just parted ways a few hours ago.
“We just arrived here, Captain Phillip. There is no need to worry. Did our arrival cause you so problems?” Samira replied politely.
Captain Phillip shook his head as he chuckled rrily. “No trouble! There’s no trouble at all! Do you need my help, Miss Samira?” He asked while looking at her. He knew that sothing must be troubling her that she was forced to visit their camp with all her guards.
“You’re mind is still as sharp as ever, Captain Phillip. That’s right. We need your help this ti.” Samira’s face turned solemn as she told him everything that Leric told them earlier.
This ti, Captain Phillip’s face also turned serious. “I see. It seems like I’ve underestimated Sir Aethelwolf. He was actually able to sense the scouts of the Northern Viper Group. If I’m not wrong, he should be the Alchemist who helped General Gavin and the Fla Tiger Army to win against Solas and his bandit army.” He looked at Samira deeply, but she rely replied with a smile.
Captain Phillip sighed and shook his head. That was enough as an answer. At least this ti, he was sure that it was Aethelwolf! “I’ll tighten the defenses inside the city and I will also have twenty soldiers protect you guys in secret. As for that Level 3 Esper... Don’t worry about him, I’ll make sure that he doesn’t cause trouble here in Vale City!” He muttered with a confident look.
