144. The road to heaven is endless
The junior apprentice ran back panting with the holy water in his arms, and handed it to Bai Yi, who gently opened Arti's mouth and poured some of it into her, although it was an undiluted version for his own use, but it still had no effect, and Arti's body automatically rejected the power from other gods.
In fact, the holy water was not given by the cold god, but was made by the priests who poured divine power into ordinary water sources, and the church usually diluted some of it and distributed it to believers for free, leaving some for their own use.
It still doesn't work now, and Bai Yi doesn't think it's strange, this thing is actually similar to the principle of divine art, but it can directly act on the body, and sometimes the effect is a little better than divine art.
Pastor Yellowskin Mouse was out of luck with this, rubbed his hands, and said with some embarrassment: "This... Maybe her system is special? β
"I'd better take her to the pharmacy." Bai Yi picked up Artie again, and regardless of the priest's retention, he walked straight out of the church and walked towards the pharmacy next to it.
Priest Yellowskin Mouse sent him all the way to the door, and finally watched him walk towards the pharmacy with some regret, he actually wanted to help Bai Yi in his heart, after seeing Bai Yi's strength, everyone wanted to get acquainted with such a powerful magician.
But Bai Yi still prefers to keep some distance from these clergy, the impression brought to him by those people from the church in the void is actually not very good, the two sides are opposite after all, if it weren't for Artie's illness like this today, he really didn't want to take the initiative to find the door, and now it seems that he should have gone directly to the pharmacy at the beginning.
In fact, diseases can also be treated with medicines, but they are not as fast and convenient as divine magic, and they are not as cheap as churches, after all, it costs money to buy medicines, and you have to buy several groups at a time.
Of course, not everyone has the patience to queue up for such a long time, so the merchants are very clever to open a number of pharmacies on the street next to the church, and the business is naturally quite good.
But when he walked to the door, he was stunned for a moment, if he wanted to make Artie's illness get better quickly, I was afraid that he still needed to buy those expensive special medicines, but he had no money in his pocket...
Fortunately, he saw the iconic $ mark of the Dowler family at the door, so he rushed in and rushed to the counter, thinking about how to convince the clerk to give him the best medicine on credit.
But who knew that when he was still hesitating whether to use illusion or report his name, a middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper took the initiative to come over, bowed slightly to him, and said politely: "Welcome, Master Hope." β
After that, he glanced at Artie in Bai Yi's arms, and hurriedly turned back to a few guys and said, "Go and get the best fever reducer." With that, he turned sideways again and stretched out his left hand towards a section of stairs, "Master Hope, let's go up to the second floor first, where there are ice packs and beds." β
"You know me?" While climbing the stairs, Bai Yi asked in a low voice.
"Of course, how dare the Dowler family forget their greatest benefactor?" The shopkeeper smiled and said, it seems that he should have seen Bai Yi in the family before, and later heard about Bai Yi's experience of rescuing Wentini, so he behaved so politely.
After entering a small room on the second floor, as soon as he put Artie on a small wooden bed, the guy in the store brought a bottle of dark red potion and handed it in, but the shopkeeper frowned after taking a look, and said angrily, "Who told you to take this?" I'm saying the best, don't you understand? β
So the guy hid his face and left, and after a while handed over a bottle of lilac potion, the shopkeeper nodded with satisfaction, and handed it to Bai Yi, and asked her to feed Artie and drink it.
After a few moments, Artie's frowning brow finally relaxed, and it seemed that the situation had improved, and the person fell asleep groggyly.
"It's a special fever reducer made with snake gall grass and phoenix flowers, and she'll get better soon." The shopkeeper said confidently.
"Tsk, you actually use these two herbs to make a bottle of ordinary antipyretics? This guy is really joking..."The alchemist also said in the void, "Judging by the color, this should be the so-called full recovery potion, right?" It is claimed to be a panacea that can renew muscles and bones and cure all diseases, although the actual function is certainly not so exaggerated, but it is still too luxurious to reduce fever. β
In the alchemist's memory, there are several theoretical potion formulas, and the reason why they are called theoretical, is mainly because their effects and the materials required are completely unacceptable and cost-effective, and they are too expensive! It has no practical value other than pretending to be forced.
The so-called Total Recovery Elixir is one of them, and according to the alchemist's speculation, this medicine can basically have the same healing effect as divine magic, and even slightly stronger.
However, the snake gall grass and phoenix flower that it needs are two extremely precious medicinal materials, among which snake gall grass grows in the deepest part of the great desert in the west, and few people have the life to pick it; The phoenix flower is a bright flower that grows near the dragon cliff, resisting the dragon's majesty, and is rich in the breath of life, so it is named after the phoenix, a magical beast with tenacious vitality and can stand side by side with the dragon.
This flower is easier to find at the top of the dragon, well, as long as you can come out alive... Therefore, the ones on the market are generally passed down from the Gufu plane.
However, the final recovery potion made from these two such precious medicinal materials is only about the same effect as divine magic, so it is no wonder that alchemists would classify this potion as a theoretical existence, even if he is called a madman, he can't do such a wasteful act, and if he has the money to collect these medicinal materials, it is better to hire a priest to follow him.
It's just that I didn't expect that this flashy potion would help Bai Yi a lot now.
"Maybe there's a new and improved recipe behind it, right? Or is it the benefit of dimensional development? Bai Yi was also a little secretly surprised when he heard that the medicine was made of those two kinds of grass, and Artie was afraid that he had drunk hundreds of gold coins from this vial.
It is impossible for the shopkeeper not to know the true value of this medicine, and he will not be naΓ―ve to think that Bai Yi can't guess it, this favor is very vague, but it makes Bai Yi have a good impression of him.
This good first impression made Bai Yi have the leisure to chat with him after seeing that Atie's face began to improve, so he said, "You are very good, what is your name?" β
The shopkeeper could actually give Bai Yi an ordinary grade of medicine, but in the end, he used the most expensive medicine in the store to treat a simple fever, which was his personal choice, which seemed wasteful, but it was actually very smart.
"Jayger, Jayger. Dowler, Miss Wendini is my aunt. The shopkeeper remained humble and said something that sounded a little thunderous.
He looks to be over 40 years old, and Wendini is obviously still a young girl, and the seniority in this aristocratic family is really chaotic... However, Bai Yi also deduced from this point that he should be a side of the Dowler family.
The two chatted casually for a while, the shopkeeper was very clever not to ask, nor to inquire about Artie's identity, and after a few words of compliment, he left under the pretext of business, and when he left, he also asked the man to send a few sets of colorful potions, some of which were to help Artie recover his strength and replenish water; Some are to help prevent colds.
This guy is really good at being a man... Bai Yi was thinking about whether to push him a little behind his back, but a sudden sound from behind interrupted his thoughts.
Looking back, Artie had actually come to her senses.
"How does it feel?" Bai Yi gently touched her forehead, her body temperature was already normal, it seemed that it was a top-notch medicine comparable to high-end luxury, and she got what she paid for.
Artie nodded obediently, and then seemed to resist Bai Yi's hand, his head shrank slightly, and he grabbed the quilt with both hands to cover half of his face, and asked in a whisper with some urn voice: "Master, am I disappointed you?" On the first day of work, I fell ill, broke the plates, and even caused you to send me over..."
"How so? What are you thinking? Bai Yi patted her head lightly, "I look like that kind of harsh person?" β
Artie nodded, and quickly shook her head, it seems that she is actually quite conflicted in her own heart.
"Don't be cranky, taking you over here, in fact, the main reason is for the stability of that air trade route, and at the same time, this is also the best protection for you, I need you to stay alive and let that trade route continue to be stable." Bai Yi said, unscrewed another bottle of recovery potion, and gently fed it to Artie.
This excuse actually sounds a bit far-fetched, but Artie, who is still dizzy, doesn't have enough thinking ability to distinguish it, she obediently swallows the potion in a few sips, spits out her little pink tongue, and whispers: "It's so bitter..."
"It's not as bitter as when you were the king, right?" Bai Yi said half-jokingly.
But as soon as he said this, Artie seemed to be angry, covered her head with a quilt, and refused to pay attention to her.
"I think I'm saying the wrong thing?" Bai Yi complained to himself in the void, "Sure enough, I'm not suitable for coaxing little girls..."
"You've coaxed all the high-quality beautiful girls around you, what else are you going to do?" A few more anonymous voices questioned dissatisfiedly.
In fact, in Artie's heart, it was not that she was angry because Bai Yi's words revealed her scars, but she felt a little wronged, and the days of being a king were indeed not very good... So when Bai Yi said those ridiculous words, she actually had some urge to cry in her heart?
