Chapter 010 Western Fantasy Town 1

Xie Yunsui had no ill intentions and kept a certain distance from them. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry to bother you all. I'm lost and would like to ask for directions out."

Matthew, the oldest one, unconsciously looked at the Flame Winged Beast in his hand. Not only him, but the eyes of everyone else in the team were attracted to it.

This flaming winged beast looks quite familiar. Even the piece of feather that was cut off on its right wing seems a bit like Sally's masterpiece.

Matthew and Sally turned their gaze to Xie Yunsui again.

This is a very handsome young human being with a delicate appearance that is different from the people in this world. His black hair and black eyes are rare colors.

He has no hostility.

The two of them relaxed a little.

Suddenly sensing something, a fluctuation of magical energy? Their pupils shrank.

Matthew asked, "Are you the head of the Pharmacists' Union?"

It was another term that Xie Yunsui didn't quite understand, but he could tell that the attitudes of the person who was speaking and the lady next to him had obviously changed. Their hostility had subsided a little, and they were now a little respectful.

Xie Yunsui smiled, neither denying nor admitting.

The two men mistook his expression for consent. After all, his body was filled with so much magic power, so much that it could be sensed. It was impossible that he had not joined the Pharmacist Guild. The Pharmacist Guild would not let such a magically powerful person go outside.

Matthew placed his hand on his chest respectfully and lowered his head slightly, as if he was saluting.

The lady with the sword also did the same action. The others were startled when they heard the word "pharmacist". Now they followed suit and did the same action. Someone banged his chest twice before nodding.

It doesn't seem like a formality, but more like an everyday way of greeting.

Xie Yunsui didn't understand this etiquette, so he could only smile and nod.

"Master Pharmacist, did you kill this Flame Winged Beast?" the red-haired man named Andrew asked hurriedly.

Xie Yunsui said calmly, "It attacked me just now, and I dealt with it."

Said so lightly, these people seemed to have even more respect in their eyes.

"Well, Master Pharmacist, we were attacked by this flaming winged beast an hour ago. It's very powerful and injured many of us. As a result, Harold... he was attacked by the flames and has been unconscious ever since. Perhaps you have any healing potions with you? We're willing to pay double the price for them."

The sword-wielding lady asked earnestly, looking at him with a rather straightforward, expectant gaze.

Xie Yunsui finally realized that none of these people had any ulterior motives. Even when they were arguing just now, they stated their plans directly.

Xie Yunsui stepped forward: "I need to see him."

The big bird in his hand was about half a person's height and quite heavy. Xie Yunsui dragged it over by holding its wings.

The two iron claws plowed two traces on the ground.

Andrew and others rushed up, seemingly wanting to help him get it.

Xie Yunsui put the Flame Winged Beast down, squatted beside Harold, and looked at him carefully.

Harold was a burly man, wearing silver armor, with two triangular pointed ears among his dark brown hair, and a tail with frizzy hair under his body.

Xie Yunsui raised his eyes and noticed that his breath was weak. He looked closer and found that the marks of burns on his body from the flames still had faint sparks, which were slowly eroding his body.

These people...don't they even put out the fire for him?

No, these people know more about the fire-breathing bird than he does. Since it didn't catch it, it means it can't catch it.

Xie Yunsui stretched out his hand above the Mars, and as expected, he could feel a weak energy reaction. He immediately absorbed the energy, and the Mars gradually went out.

Matthew and the others widened their eyes: "..."

This is the first time I have seen a pharmacist take action. No, the pharmacists I have seen before would prepare medicine after checking the condition. Only after drinking the corresponding healing potion would the injury slowly get better. How could they heal the injury just by touching it?

Could this be the legendary senior pharmacist?

Don’t those people always stay in the royal capital?

This is the forest at the foot of the Vilanstei Mountains, far away from the capital!

Xie Yunsui could only absorb energy and knew nothing about treatment. Fortunately, he had ginseng which could cure all diseases.

He stood up and said to everyone, "His injuries still need treatment. I have two treatment options. Which one do you want to choose?"

"One is to mitigate the damage and keep him alive, but he still needs treatment later, but the cost is lower. The other is to make him recover immediately and be full of energy, without the need for further treatment, but the cost is very high."

The little he showed of his ability was enough to prove his identity as a pharmacist.

These people also knew that senior pharmacists were very expensive, and some adventurers would never see a senior pharmacist in their entire lives, let alone receive treatment from him.

But they really don't have that much money.

Adventurers are all poor people who have no food to eat.

Matthew looked at everyone and saw that they all had their heads drooped, looking powerless. Only Sally said, "Dear Pharmacist, may I ask how much the two will cost?"

Xie Yunsui asked in return: "How much can you give?"

It’s no wonder that he didn’t mention the cost explicitly, because until now, he still didn’t know what the universal currency of this world was.

Matthew sighed and said, "We only have a few silver and copper coins. If we can catch a Flame Winged Beast like the Master Pharmacist did this time, we can sell it and get about ten gold coins. Of course, if the Master Pharmacist needs magic crystals, we can pool our money... we should be able to buy ten magic crystals."

Gold, silver, and copper coins should be universal currencies. The magic crystals mentioned specifically are probably a currency used exclusively by pharmacists, or perhaps a valuable product.

Xie Yunsui smiled and said, "I suggest you choose the first option. It only costs one gold coin."

Matthew and the others looked at each other for a moment and said at the same time, "Let's choose the first option."

This is also within the acceptable range for them. With a little bit of gold, they can get it together, even if they return empty-handed this time.

Xie Yunsui picked out a bowl of bullfrog, sweet potato and ginseng paste, handed it to Matthew, and asked him to feed it to Harold.

The healing potion also needed to be drunk, so Matthew took it naturally, even though the potion bottle... why did it look so much like a bamboo tube? When he got it, he saw the mushy bamboo tube, and vaguely saw a whole frog leg. Matthew suddenly froze.

It looked like the immature work of an apprentice pharmacist; the meat wasn't even melted.

Matthew could only complain in his heart and fed it to Harold with a glimmer of hope.

As Harold swallowed subconsciously, the pale look on his face gradually improved, with a faint blush.

Before everyone could be surprised, Harold blinked awake and said excitedly when he saw Matthew for the first time: "Old...Gudong, Old Matthew, you are still alive! Wait, what did I eat?"

"It's the pharmacist's... healing potion. Are you feeling okay now?"

"Healing potion?" Harold sipped his lips. Why did it feel like he'd just eaten a bowl of meat porridge? He knew he'd been seriously injured, and the potion must be the reason he was awake. He nodded and said, "I feel great! Look!"

He clenched his fists and showed everyone his strength.

The tail also began to sweep the ground unconsciously.

Xie Yunsui: "..."

From his strong voice, it can be heard that he has recovered well, even better than Xie Yunsui imagined. You know, this bowl of porridge only has a health value of +15. He thought that after Harold finished eating it, he should be barely hanging on.

Fortunately, the second treatment plan was not used. He was also planning to use the resurrection ginseng. After taking that, Harold would probably be able to get up and run 30 kilometers now.

Although Harold looked much better, he was still very weak and coughed twice when he stood up.

"Harold, this is the pharmacist who saved you. He was also the one who dealt with the Flame Winged Beast that injured you!"

The Flame Winged Beast is a magical beast that likes to occupy territory. They have confirmed that the one brought by the pharmacist is the one that occupies this territory. The right wing has one less feather than the left wing. It was cut off by Sally!

Harold stood up like a burly mountain. He pounded his chest twice and bent down to express his gratitude to Xie Yunsui.

Xie Yunsui smiled: "You're welcome. I'd also like to trouble you to tell me the way out of here."

Oh, everyone just realized that the pharmacist said he was lost the first time they met.

Sally thought for a moment and said, "Harold, although you are much better now, you still need treatment. Please take the pharmacist with you and leave the forest. Pharmacist, please tell us your name and address. We will pay for the treatment, but you just have to wait."

"No!" It was Harold who refused. He said, "I'm not going back. I want to stay with you!"

"Be obedient, you are still injured and need treatment."

"Then we should go together. Villanstai is too dangerous. I am worried about you."

"Harold! You almost died just now!" Andrew said angrily. "We also paid one gold coin for your medical treatment. We have to hunt at least one magical beast before we can return."

Harold's voice was even louder than his: "There are only Flame Winged Beasts in this area. Do you think you can kill even one?"

"At least we have experience!"

Xie Yunsui tried to speak several times but couldn't get a word in.

Sally snorted coldly: "Enough!"

Sally said, "We overestimated the attack power of the Flame Winged Beasts. Not only Harold, but everyone else is injured. Without Harold to hold the beasts back, these second-level beasts will tear us to pieces sooner or later!"

Matthew said, "You mean, everyone should go back?"

Sally pursed her lips and said, "Next time, recruit more people. At least three teams, at least ten people."

Everyone was silent with a sullen expression. Sally then asked Xie Yunsui, "Master Pharmacist, do you have anything to say?"

Xie Yunsui said slowly, "I'd like to hire you all to take me out of this forest. As for the reward, is ten silver coins okay? I'd also like to ask you to help me sell that flaming winged beast. No matter how much it sells for, I'm willing to pay half as a commission."

"How can this be possible?" Sally said, "This flaming winged beast can be sold for at least ten gold. It's just running errands, there's no way it's worth five gold."

"It's getting dark," Xie Yunsui pressed his temples, looking worried. "Now I just want to find a comfortable bed to sleep in. This is my deal, you can choose not to accept it."

Only a fool would not accept it!

This thought popped up in everyone's mind.

They searched for two days in Villanstai before finally finding the Flame Winged Beast, which was the most valuable hunting target newly released by the Adventurer's Guild. They thought that two teams could kill one, but they didn't expect to kill it and almost lost a person.

Now there is no need to fight, all you need to do is take this lost pharmacist away from Villanstai and help him sell the Flame Winged Beast, and you can earn 5 gold?

Even after deducting all the medical expenses, each person can get 50 silver coins, which means they can live well for a month without worrying about food and drink, and can also support a family.

Andrew instantly carried the Flame Winged Beast on his back and said, "Master Pharmacist, let's set off quickly."
