0014. The best herbalist in the village
The stars hanging high in the night sky hide many secrets, and the changing stars are an inexhaustible treasure in the eyes of astrologers, and there is always something to gain when the stars are interpreted.
Magicians are extremely keen on astrology, and it is said that many of the high-level magic and alchemy formulas are inspired by the endless starry sky.
There are also candidates among witches who specialize in astrology, but their purpose is more simple, not to ask for it, but only to unravel the meaning of astrological representation.
Unlock the stars just to find a newborn companion.
There is no pattern to the awakening of witches, they cannot predict it in advance, but the awakening of each witch can always cause subtle changes in the starry sky, so they find new witches in this way and lead them to the witch's stronghold to avoid persecution.
In addition to being a member of the Witches' Council, Herty Shelley is also the most knowledgeable of the witches in terms of astrology, and she is usually in charge of the astrological horoscope at night.
She looked up at the starry sky as usual, but her gaze was a little dazed, as if she was thinking about something else. This can't be blamed on her, after all, the probability of the appearance of newborn witches in the past few years is too low, and the last freshman companion awakened four months ago, and there is no sign of witch awakening in these four months.
Such a low awakening rate is accompanied by an extremely high mortality rate, and in just these four months, at least five witches have died at the hands of magicians, and two more are still missing.
Hetty was also troubled by this problem, and if this trend continued, the witch would soon be wiped out.
"Despicable magician. Thinking of what the magician had done to the witch, Hetty frowned and scolded.
It was at this time that the dim starry sky suddenly changed, in the dim star palace in the northwest direction, a star actually flashed a faint light, but it was just like this, but dozens of dim stars around this star actually began to slowly rotate around it, and with each rotation, the light of the stars became more and more abundant, until it illuminated the entire star palace, and the bright light burst out, which could no longer be ignored.
"It's ......," Hetty opened her mouth slightly, speechless in surprise.
According to the direction, this star undoubtedly represents the awakening of a witch, but this star is too incredible, and in the end, the light of the star is as bright as a sun, even ordinary people who don't know the stars know that this is not normal.
What kind of witch awakening can trigger such a shocking astrological phenomenon?
She immediately woke up from her surprise, no matter what, a new witch must be a good thing for them, and according to the location of the star palace, she calculated the location of the awakening in her heart.
With the result in hand, she ran into the house, took out the map, compared it with the calculated coordinates, and finally determined the direction.
“...... Awaken here. Looking at the red circles marked on the map, Hetty clutched her forehead and began to feel a headache.
"What's wrong, Hetty?"
Down the stairs is a woman named Rey, who is also one of the members of the Witches' Council.
Hetty looked up at her and smiled wryly, "I observed a witch awakening just now. ”
Ryan was overjoyed, knowing that they hadn't found a new companion for four months, and immediately said, "This is a good thing, why are you so miserable, we should send someone to pick up the new companion immediately." ”
"But the position of her awakening is really bad. ”
Ryan smiled disapprehantly: "How bad can it be, is it possible that it is in the royal capital, even if it is really in the royal capital, we can also take out new companions, wasn't that the case with Moira two years ago." ”
"It's worse than that. Hetty sighed, "She's awakened in Devany's possessions. ”
Rya's smile froze as she asked incredulously, "Which Daphne?"
"Which one do you think it could be? Hetty rolled her eyes at her and said word for word, "Phoenix" Daphne Gryffin. ”
"It's actually on the territory of that female devil. Ryan shuddered, for a witch councillor to call her an adversary, and to imagine how bad Daphne's reputation among witches was.
"Do you still send someone to pick it up?"
"You're going to go by yourself, I don't want to deal with her. ”
"Then write a letter to her and ask her to keep an eye out for her new companion. ”
Hetty quickly made a decision: "After all, she is also one of the councillors, although it seems that she never cared about ......"
......
"Hold back. ”
Hodge's words seemed to be just polite words, because before the shirtless Orion could nod his head in response, he took the knife and slashed neatly into Orion's arm, and the pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow made Orion's eyes widen, and if it weren't for the bite of a log in his mouth, he would probably scream worse than a pig to be slaughtered.
Hodge's hand movements were very steady, and he used his knife to quickly cut through Orion's arm, and it didn't take long to pick out a purple-black blood clot from it.
The knife was withdrawn from the muscle, and Orion wiped the sweat with his other hand, spit out the log in his mouth, and was about to say something to Hodge, but before Hodge turned around, he twisted the salt crystal, and without looking at Orion's expression, he directly wiped it on the cut in his arm.
"Ahh
Some time later, Hodge was packing up his jars and jars, while Orion sat in his chair, gasping for air.
"Little Hodge, tell me before you apply the potion......"
Hodge was unimpressed by his grievances: "Uncle Bach, this is the third time you've come to cut this thing, and if you haven't memorized the process yet, you'll have to blame yourself." ”
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. Bach had to smile helplessly, Hodge's temperament was not the first day he knew, and what he said just now was in vain.
The boy had come to this remote village in the far north of the North eight years ago, and no one knew why a little boy had come here, but he had paid for the outermost cottage in the village, and the people of the village were still worried about his survival, and they often knocked on the door to give him some food in the first few days, but within a few days Hodge refused the kindness of the villagers, and the ten-year-old boy began to inquire about how often the footmen would pass through here, and bought many bottles and jars from the merchants on the trading day, as well as a lot of herbs.
No one could understand the use of a little boy with this.
It wasn't until a few days later that Hodge established himself as a herbalist in the village.
Everyone thought it was just a joke, after all, a ten-year-old child could understand what a doctor was, maybe he was just bored at home, and no one took it seriously.
It wasn't until more and more of the wounded hunters were rescued by Hodge that the villagers discovered that the little boy really knew herbalism.
Since then, the small village has finally had a herbalist doctor, and the casualty rate of hunting has dropped dramatically.
Eight years have passed, and the boys of yesteryear have grown into handsome young men, and the men who have watched him grow up are a little jealous of his handsome face, while the women are making excuses to send their daughters to Hodge's hut and thinking about how to marry them to him.
At the same time, Hodge became more and more skilled in herbalism, and he was known by others as the best herbalist in the village.
Of course, he was the only doctor in the village.
