Chapter 52: Entering the City

John stopped the crowd from letting them in so as not to find blood all over the bed. Al packed up the sheets and tried to make his aunt sleep as comfortable as possible. Then I sat in the corner with my knees folded and fell asleep.

The birth of a new life is something to celebrate, and it is a twin.

John's grandfather was a veteran of the army, and his family had little assets to raise so many children, and Al was respected by the villagers who came to congratulate him as a physician, and a physician was a more noble profession than a professional, because mortals inevitably die, grow old, sickness and die.

His fame spread in this small village, and everyone knew that John's family had come to a traveling physician, albeit very young. As for the word apprentice in the back, I consciously forgot about it.

Although the wound was sewn up with sheep intestines, after all, it was the first caesarean section, and Al was afraid that it would cause complications such as bacterial infection, so he stayed here and wanted to take care of Aunt Mogan until she recovered. It turned out that Alliu was right, there was no surgery in a sterile environment, and the aunt started to have a fever the next day. Al had the foresight to make this world's antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, early on.

The medicine was brought to Al-by John's eldest son who came into town and bought it from the herb shop. The cost of getting a doctor out of the house is too expensive, and don't think about any pastor blessings or anything like that. The Empire of Light rejects other churches, and churches here are very scarce. And the Church of Light is too noble, and they haven't heard anything good from Matilda anyway.

The surrounding villagers, whether they were sick or not, came to ask for some potions to be used later. Al never refused, but he didn't have the money and needed to bring his own materials.

He went out of the house, and he brought a suit of clothes with him, and it didn't take long for him to be picked up.

After a month of the child, a tax collector came with a guard to collect the freshman tax, and John honestly handed over a gold coin.

"You're the doctor who traveled here?" the tax collector looked at Al curiously.

"Salute to you, Lord Tax Collector," Al saluted respectfully.

"Well, your fame has spread to the city, and you are welcome to settle in Mesantan," the tax collector invited.

Physicians are more precious treasures than farmers in the territory, and they are an indispensable profession to protect farmers' effective production and stabilize people's hearts.

Even if Al's origin is unknown, the tax collector sincerely invites him, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he is a city resident.

"Thank you very much for the invitation, I will visit Aunt Mogan when she recovers. ”

"We look forward to your visit. The tax collector smiled kindly at him and left with the guard.

Having received a legal invitation to enter the city, Al stayed here for a few more days before preparing to go to the city of Mesantan.

"Your Excellency, you may be unfamiliar with the city, so I'll let George guide you for a few days. Although I was very scared at that time, after so long, my wife is still alive, my children are healthy, and the doctor has such a good temper, and he has been taking care of the mother and child until now, and the fear of the life-saving benefactor in my heart has slowly dissipated.

All fear is due only to one's own ignorance.

George was John's third son, a little taller than Al. In addition to arranging a guide, the surrounding villagers also spontaneously sent some food specialties and, of course, five gold coins. Al has never asked for money, but John is also a big man from his ancestors, and there is still a little bit of family learning.

"George, did your grandfather ever serve in the army?" George, who was following Al, proudly proclaimed his grandfather at the mention of his grandfather.

"My grandfather used to be a centurion of the Eighth Legion of the Empire, a veteran of the Order of the Flame of Light, and after being discharged from the army, he brought his grandmother to settle in Mosantan, and even the lord of the city received him."

"Oh, that's amazing. Did you learn your grandfather's swordsmanship? ”

"No, only my father and eldest brother will, after I was born, my grandfather and grandmother died" Speaking of family swordsmanship, George picked up a branch on the side of the road with a little disappointment and waved it a few times.

"My eldest brother didn't know much about it, and my father didn't see him use it. There is a lot of farm work to be done every day. ”

The traces of military combat skills in the Eagle Empire of Al were too heavy, and he turned over the only book in John's family, his grandfather's diary, which recorded several sword moves. I originally wanted to learn from George, but now I have to figure it out by myself, his swordsmanship talent is not very good.

When you go out, you will use spells to solve some provocations, make too much fuss, and you will invisibly find yourself a lot of trouble.

What is the first reaction of a low-level mage who is weak in birds???

The entrance fee is ten coppers per person. Al was about to pay for it, but George was already yelling.

"This is a doctor who was personally invited by the tax collector, why do you have to pay for the city. ”

Almost shameless shouting for the sake of ten coppers, Al, who has been living elegantly, is a little unbearable. The city guards hurriedly welcomed Algon in, but George's ten bronzes were still not missing.

"Doctor, identity needs to be publicized by others. You are from out of town, and there is no official person to help you promote that you are easy to be bullied. George's peculiar young man smiled slyly, and Alna sighed, still unable to accept it.

When he entered the city, he didn't imagine that someone would greet him respectfully, and Al followed George aimlessly. The most important thing is to turn around the trading market, and then you will have to rely on your old business to live.

Located on the border of the forest, Mesantan is rich and cheap. Al bought three healing potion materials for a single gold coin.

The Bear's Power Potion in a wooden container sold for thirty gold coins in the Adventure Guild. Because there are many adventurous people here, there are many needs, and there are not a few pharmacists like him who come here to make a living.

Seeing that Al changed hands and sold for thirty gold coins, George admired and kept touting after Al, because of the close age, those exaggerated words were just jokes, not annoying.

In addition to the gates of the Adventurers' Guild, Al sensed that someone was following. He walked in a crowded place, but he didn't expect them to dare to stop them directly in broad daylight.

"What are you doing, Lord Al but a physician invited by the tax collector!" shouted George to the tall men, bracing his frightened body.

"Oh, the new guy, I said I don't know the rules. The leader's one-eyed disdagled a dagger.

"I'm going to tell you about our rules here, any deal, our Banksy gang will take a 30% cut, understand? Doctor imp, haha"

Al pulled George, who was still arguing, behind him, grabbed a handful of gold coins from his money bag, and threw them all to the other side. He was away alone and didn't want to get into trouble

However, George, who had just come out of society, couldn't tell the power inside.

"Doctor, you can't give them to them, they're insatiable hyenas, can't feed the jackals."

"So acquaintance, and said that there is a good show to watch" One-eyed took the money bag and looked at it hehehe, "Okay, let you go, the other one who doesn't know each other will clean up well, lest people laugh at our Banksy gangsters and don't even pay attention to a little ghost." ”

One-Eye snorted, not caring about George's words, nor caring about his life or death. The strong men around him smiled and surrounded him, and it seemed that it was particularly interesting to bully the weak.

George shuddered in panic and hid behind Al, who sighed.
