Chapter 718: "A Walking Elixir"
[The cure…] Ainsley furrowed her eyebrows at this word. She racked her brain, trying to see a solution, but she just couldn"t.
[Can we get help from the healers? Can"t healers heal those sick because of viruses?] Ainsley asked this to the G.o.dfather, and the spirit shook his head.
[Healers can heal internal and external wounds, broken bones, damaged muscle tissues, blood vessels, and so on, but can"t cure illness. They can"t even cure a simple cold or fever.]
Healers weren"t omnipotent. If they could cure illness as they wished, there would be no need for doctors and special doctors.
[What about the doctors? If the healers can"t, special doctors with doctor-related ability users should be able to cure our people?]
Sadly the G.o.dfather shook his head.
[Special doctors aren"t omnipotent too. They can cure a lot of illnesses depending on their expertise. Some with rare abilities can even cure cancer, but viruses...that is another matter.]
And that"s why epidemics or pandemics have always been the government"s focus. Human governments, even other non-human races, were also wary of viruses.
There were a lot of cases where non-human races got infected with an unknown virus from the wild, and the race almost got wiped out because of the virus.
Thankfully, humans didn"t have any direct contact with non-human races, and that"s also one of the reasons why each race didn"t mix and guard each other"s territories.
They didn"t want a pandemic to kill countless races just because of one race getting infected by an unknown virus coming from their unusual environment.
Some even said that monsters and beasts could spread unknown viruses too.
Thankfully, contracted beasts and monsters were basically safe from viruses thanks to the bond with their masters.
But wild ones...they"re not only dangerous because they"re wild and unstoppable, but because they could carry viruses.
[In the end, only an elixir can completely cure an illness, no matter if it"s caused by a virus or not. Elixir can cure all kinds of illnesses. There"s no illness that an elixir can"t cure.]
The G.o.dfather mentioned the G.o.dly medicine above all kinds of potions and pills– the elixir.
Elixir could come in two forms, either liquid or ball-like pills. However, all people know that finding an elixir is even more complicated than prolonging one"s lifespan.
[This lord has lived for countless years and had never heard or seen an elixir. Even if you find one, you can only have one person, and not all of your people.]
Ainsley bit her lips at the G.o.dfather"s words and almost lost all hope when one of the five spirits Ainsley hired to be her spare ability slots suddenly spoke in a soft voice.
[Uh...I...I seem to know a spirit who can cure all kinds of illnesses...the spirit was once known as a walking elixir when she was alive, ]
The one speaking was a female spirit, so she knew more about other female spirits than her male friends.
When Ainsley heard what the spirit said, she almost bit her tongue.
[What?! A walking elixir...a spirit? A spirit has that kind of ability??]
[Yes, milady. During the G.o.dlif"s great war era between the mafia and the government, there"s a person well-known enough to have her statue placed at the monumental park in the capital.]
The female spirit paused before continuing.
[It"s not the G.o.dlif country"s first alchemist, but this female hero is known as a walking elixir.]
A walking elixir...this t.i.tle again.
Ainsley felt that she had seen a statue with this kind of t.i.tle at the capital"s monumental park before.
Who is it?
[She"s one of the mafia society"s biggest heroes because she saves many sick people using her ability.]
The female spirit continued her story despite Ainsley"s effort to recall the female hero"s name.
[This female hero...her ability is that...every drop of her blood can cure anyone of any illnesses, including illnesses caused by viruses.]
!
Miracle blood...a walking elixir…
[Demetra…? From the Meidian family?]
The Meidian family was one of the mafia society"s 7 great families famous for their medical expertise.
They were one of the Healer Guild"s biggest backers, and almost all of their family members were healers or special doctors.
The walking elixir in the legend was the Meidian Family"s ancestor.
Well, it could be said that the young hero got married early, gave birth to a few children before pa.s.sing away in the great war.
Still, because of her fame, even the government didn"t dare to disturb her descendants. After all, in the end, the country also owed Demetra for saving a lot of people from epidemics.
She didn"t discriminate between poor and rich, mafia or government, she just saved as many people as she could.
If the G.o.dfather was the mafia society"s hero, Demetra was the whole country"s hero, on par with the G.o.dlif Country"s first alchemist who awakened many alchemists in the country later.
This was why the Meidian Family could still be a gigantic family despite having rather weak military troops. After all, the other 7 Great Families" members spared no efforts to protect the Meidian Family.
Even the governments made a law not to touch the Meidian Family as long as they"re not a threat to the country.
The 7 Sacred Families always hated the 7 Great Families, but they never dared to offend the Meidian Family. They could offend other families, but not the Meidian.
The Meidian Family was the base of healers all over the countries, home to famous special doctors and normal doctors.
Even the alchemists had to pay respect to the Meidian Family because although potions could heal wounds to some extent, healers and doctors were still more important than potions!
