Chapter 26 I Am Not a God of Medicine

Happily, the volcano did not erupt.

A villager stood in place, quietly watching the large raindrops fall over Sanchel Town.

"The volcano... didn't erupt..."

"Great! It didn't erupt!"

Among the crowd, a joyful cry of delight burst out from somewhere, instantly igniting the joyous emotions of the villagers.

"Great! There is no disaster anymore!"

"God! God! Blessed by the gods!"

"No! No! It is the mages from the royal capital who have saved us!"

This rain is like a miracle, erasing all crises.

The mages and knights who returned to Sanchel Town one after another relaxed their tightly frowned brows, but their moods did not relax at the same time. Instead, they felt extremely heavy.

Everyone was silent, like walking puppets.

The townspeople who didn't know the truth walked out of the safety zone and returned to their town, thanking these heroes who'saved' them.

However, not a single mage could proudly say "You're welcome" when facing them.

They didn't save these innocent residents. Even they themselves were almost destroyed on the volcano.

Yes, just by a little bit.

The magic formation was ultimately not released.

If at that time, the volcano erupted completely.

All the mages sent by the royal capital would have perished under that world-destroying lava.

Under this heavy rain, the residents returned to their houses one after another.

The army began to send the mages back to the royal capital one after another. Duke Levi stood in the heavy rain, allowing the violent wind to blow on his face.

Until the last batch of mages left, Count Beck took a distant look at Duke Levi and shook his head.

"Goodbye, Duke."

He barely forced himself to say this last sentence, and there was obvious dissatisfaction in his tone. The hand holding the cane was a bit unsteady.

"Duke Levi, I understand your deep love for your daughter."

"But before doing something rash, please consider your position."

"After returning to the royal capital this time, you may be impeached by many ministers. I hope you will be careful."

Saying that, this noble mage got on the carriage and left under the protection of the army.

From beginning to end, Duke Levi did not raise his head to respond to a word.

The knights around were worried that Duke Levi would fall ill in this heavy rain. After all, the bodies of mages are not as strong as theirs.

So they called out to him:

"Your Grace, please get on the carriage and wait first. Knight Captain Gwen is looking for your daughter."

Duke Levi did not respond to him. Standing in the wind and rain, there was no response for a long time.

His eyes were dull and empty.

Suddenly, a silver-white figure appeared in the night sky under the wind and rain, like a sudden dawn in the darkness.

She was holding the blonde girl in her arms.

Duke Levi saw it. In an instant, a light called hope reappeared in his eyes.

Gwen brought Erica to Duke Levi and handed her over to him.

"I have fulfilled my mission, Your Grace."

Duke Levi took Erica with trembling hands and hugged her in his arms. His eyes were full of shock and pity.

"Erica, Erica...."

It seemed that the gentle call woke Erica up. She slowly lifted her eyelids and saw her most familiar father. She forced a smile.

"Dad, I'm back."

At this moment, this man with high position and power in the Calensia Empire shed tears.

He used to be indomitable but failed to protect his daughter well.

He was extremely ashamed.

Duke Levi hugged his daughter tightly, but what he got was his daughter's painful moan.

Only then did he notice that Erica had many burns on her body. In a panic, he wanted to use magic to treat his daughter, but with little effect.

Not all mages can be as abnormal as Victor. He has learned hundreds of magics and can use them extremely skillfully.

Duke Levi's healing magic can only heal some minor wounds and is extremely powerless in the face of his daughter's serious burns.

He looked around anxiously, trying to find a mage proficient in healing, but around him, except for the knight regiment standing in place and waiting, where are there any mages?

Looking at Duke Levi's anxious look, Gwen hesitated for a moment and took out a bottle of scarlet potion.

The appearance of that potion was like blood, red with a hint of black, emitting a faint luster.

This is the healing potion given to her by Victor, but she has never used it once.

She doesn't know how effective it is either.

But if Erica doesn't receive treatment in time, her injuries may leave permanent sequelae.

She can only take a gamble.

She gritted her teeth. At this moment, Gwen believed that Victor would not deceive her.

"Your Grace, why not try this."

"If there is any problem, I will take all the consequences."

Gwen handed over the potion. Duke Levi took it anxiously. Seeing the color of the potion, he was suddenly stunned.

Can this potion with the color of blood really be drunk?

But there is no way now. Erica's injuries cannot be delayed.

He opened the cork and gently held it to Erica's mouth. Casually, he asked:

"Where did you get this potion...?"

"It is... given to me by my fiancé."

The potion flowed down by Erica's mouth. Duke Levi's hand trembled slightly.

The fiancé of Gwen Delin?

"Victor Clevenner?"

"Yes."

Gwen lowered her head in embarrassment. She knew that there was some friction between the duke and Victor, but now is not the time to worry about so much.

Just then, a miracle happened.

After drinking the potion, Erica seemed to be blessed by the goddess of healing.

The burns on her body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was as if new flesh had grown. Her skin was as smooth as before.

The duke was completely stunned.

First the blue magic potion, and now the scarlet recovery potion...

What's going on with this terrifying effect?

Gwen also widened her eyes in surprise, looking at this scene in astonishment.

She had never used that potion and never thought that the effect would be so astonishing.

With such a terrifying recovery effect, even if one loses half of one's life, one can be revived, right?

However, Erica, who had recovered from her injuries, did not open her eyes.

Her spirit was extremely exhausted. It was already a miracle that she could wake up once in the duke's arms.

At the moment when the pain disappeared, she finally fell into a deep sleep.

Duke Levi personally sent Erica to the carriage to rest. After coming out, he bowed deeply to Gwen.

"Sincerely thank you, Knight Captain Gwen."

"Please allow me to express my gratitude to you properly after returning to the royal capital. Naturally, this also includes your fiancé."

Hearing the duke's words, Gwen was flattered.

She watched Duke Levi, who had regained his composure, get on the carriage. The carriage slowly started to move and left slowly with the surrounding army.

Gwen took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at the white horse in the stable that had no owner claiming it.

It was still eating grass quietly at the post station, and it didn't even realize that Victor, who rode it here, had disappeared.

'Victor, where on earth have you gone?'

The heavy rain did not stop for a long time. She put on her helmet to shield herself from the wind and rain and got on the horse.

Before leaving, she took one last look at that lonely white horse.

'If you still have a conscience and remember me, then come back to find me on that horse.'

'It won't die. At least not until it sees me again.'

She turned her horse around and led the knight regiment behind her and left.

After a series of clanging of armor and the noisy sound of horseshoes stepping through the mud, Sanchel Town returned to tranquility.

....

After being baptized by a heavy rain, the sunlight pierced through the haze and the sky was clear.

In a few days, the residents of Sanchel Town resumed their ordinary lives as before.

It seemed that everyone had forgotten those terrifying days a few days ago.

However, it was not peaceful in front of the post station.

"Hey, that white horse is really beautiful. Give it to me, how about it?"

A stout man surrounded the post station and glared fiercely at the post station manager and asked.

They had taken a fancy to that white horse a few days ago. After several days, no one has claimed it. So they think this horse is ownerless.

But the manager was very stubborn and didn't agree to their overbearing and unreasonable request at all:

"A knight 大人 paid a large price and asked us to take good care of this horse."

The big man burst out laughing: "Those people from the royal capital have left for four or five days. This horse has been abandoned."

"That's right! Our boss definitely didn't misjudge!"

Several of his subordinates echoed beside him.

"If you offer a higher price than her, I will agree."

The manager made a suggestion and looked contemptuously at these reckless troublemakers.

The big men looked at each other and asked, "How much did she pay you?"

"This number."

The manager stretched out a palm and shook it in front of them.

"Fifty? Hahaha! I'll pay a hundred!"

The manager shook his head. The big man hesitated for a moment and continued to ask:

"Five hundred?"

The manager didn't speak and continued to stare at them.

"It's five thousand."

When he said this number, the big men flew into a rage.

"Damn it! You're selling us a horse for five thousand Gios?"

"Are you taking the opportunity to blackmail us?"

Saying that, they rolled up their sleeves and were about to hit. The manager covered his eyes with his hands and shrank back.

The fist didn't hit him. Instead, he heard a scream.

He moved his hand away and stared in disbelief.

He saw a huge hand wrapped in lava lift up the leader.

The big man suddenly rose into the air, completely confused.

He didn't even know what had happened.

Several of his subordinates were extremely frightened. They looked along the huge hand. At the end was a man in a windbreaker.

There was also a strange one-eyed crow standing on his shoulder, chirping.

Behind him, a seemingly lava-composed arm extended out.

There were some red patterns on the black windbreaker, and it seemed that lava was constantly flowing inside.

"That's my horse. Do you have any objections?"
