Chapter 353: Rare Spell: [Healing]

~10 min read 1,836 words

The voice was dry, but Gao De's eyes were shining.

It was as if he had discovered a rare treasure.

Anna scratched her small head and answered in a childish voice: "Only understood a part, because I don't understand the meaning of many symbols..."

It was like this.

For Gao De, the symbols and numbers that were common and simple to the point of being simple were heavenly books and complicated things for people in this world.

This was also the reason why he didn't avoid Anna at all; one was that he didn't have much guard against a five-year-old girl like Anna, and the other was that even an adult would definitely not understand what he wrote.

Of course, it was also because these symbols and numbers were too simple, so if they had talent in this regard, it was possible to have insights after watching his calculation and use process throughout.

But even so, a child of this age being able to do such a thing was still an extremely incredible thing.

Gao De didn't know how he should react, and after thinking about it, he rubbed Anna's smooth hair with his hand, "Anna is a genius."

Anna: "Eh?"

Gao De smiled slightly, "But now, go to sleep first, it's already very late."

"Oh yeah!" Anna yawned heavily, only then realizing that she was actually so sleepy.

"Need to wash face and brush teeth." She said confusedly.

Even though she was so sleepy, Anna still had her own rules.

Because of last night's "staying up late," Gao De did not get up early the next day.

It was not until the majestic bell of the clock tower in the city center rang nine times that he woke up from a deep dream.

Anna was still sleeping soundly; her small face was buried in Gao De's chest, and her hands and feet were hanging on Gao De's body.

This time he was embarrassed to pull the little girl up to eat breakfast again, but carefully moved Anna's hands and feet away, lifted the quilt, climbed out of bed, changed his clothes lightly, and went out alone.

What was sad was that because he got up too late, he had already missed the hotel's free breakfast point.

Paid two silver coins, entrusted the landlady at the front desk to prepare lunch for Anna, and found a shop at random, simply had breakfast, and then Gao De, like yesterday, called a carriage and headed straight for the Makoko District.

When the carriage arrived at the Makoko District, Shama was already waiting on the shore with a small boat, and it was estimated that he had been waiting for a while.

"Came late, let you wait for a long time, sorry." Gao De jumped onto the small boat.

"Didn't wait long, didn't wait long." Shama waved his hand repeatedly.

"Still the same rule, take me to the place where you recently discovered magic octopuses." Gao De said.

Hearing Gao De's request, Shama's expression changed, and he hurriedly said: "Master Mage, actually someone just encountered a magic octopus attack here last night."

"Magic octopus attack? Is the situation serious?" Gao De raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Five people died on the spot, and four people were seriously injured and fell into a coma. They have been sent to the medical clinic for treatment, but the situation is very serious. Ya'en in the medical clinic is also helpless, and can only wait for Physician Doctor Danika to take action before there is hope."

"Physician Doctor Danika?" Gao De noticed the respect on Shama's face when mentioning this name.

"Physician Doctor Danika is the same as you, she is also a mage. The only medical clinic in our Makoko District was established by her when she came here ten years ago. She will use spells to treat us and does not charge any fees, but her home is in Lagos City, and she only comes to the Makoko District when there is something during the day." Shama explained.

*It turned out to be like this. * Gao De instantly felt a sense of respect for this Physician Doctor Danika.

A mage who was willing to come to such a place that everyone avoided to treat the poor for free and persisted for ten years, such noble character was worthy of respect.

"Then take me to the medical clinic first, see if they can wake up, so I can understand the specific situation." Gao De thought about it and decided.

"Good." Shama did not doubt him and immediately rowed the boat with all his might.

Not long after rowing out, he remembered something else and hurriedly said: "Master Mage, I also asked about the background of the residents of the shanty you asked about yesterday."

"Oh? How do you say?" Gao De frowned slightly.

"They said they moved from outside five or six years ago, and there were seven or eight people! I don't know what they were doing. People around said they had never seen them go out to sea to catch fish." Shama revealed all the information he had inquired about.

"Five or six years ago..." Gao De thought for a moment, then suddenly asked: "When did the magic octopus and the foul-smelling water salamander start to appear?"

Shama recalled earnestly before answering: "It started to appear about five years ago. They have no natural enemies here, breed extremely fast, and are extremely dangerous, often attacking boats on the waterway, so at that time everyone here was cautious when going out, for fear of being attacked by these water beasts."

"Some people even moved away from the Makoko District because they were worried about their own life safety, but with our ability, where can we settle down after leaving here?" Shama sighed, full of helplessness.

Afterward, his expression lifted, and he said earnestly: "Fortunately, you Hai Shao Bing are willing to regularly send people to the Makoko District to clear and expel water beasts, so that these water beasts will not be rampant, and we can continue to survive here."

*Appeared five years ago... These people also happened to move here five or six years ago, and the time matched exactly. *

Combined with the confession of that "salamander traitor" and his own discovery, some things could be basically determined.

To tell the truth, these people didn't hide their traces and whereabouts too much at all; they should have never thought that anyone would care about these things, so they didn't have much guard.

After all, the Makoko District had always been a place that everyone hated. For so many years, except for that Physician Doctor Danika and the Hai Shao Bing, no other mage should have set foot in this place.

And even if it was a Hai Shao Bing mage who came here, they were forced to be sent here, often completing the mission with a hard scalp and then leaving immediately, never staying in the Makoko District for long.

It was mainly a case of coming in a hurry and leaving in a hurry.

"Did none of these people come back last night?" Gao De asked again.

Shama nodded, "The residents around said that in their impression, they would disappear for a few days every once in a while, and then appear again, and I don't know what they were busy with."

But specifically when they disappeared, they couldn't say it.

People in the Makoko District wouldn't pay attention to these things, and the information they said was all based on vague impressions.

While talking, Shama had already driven the small boat and brought Gao De to the medical clinic in the Makoko District.

It was called a medical clinic, but it was actually just a nice name; the exterior was no different from other shanties, it was a "dangerous house" built with simple templates and looked like it was crumbling.

The only difference might be that some patterns of herbs were drawn on the door.

At this time, the medical clinic was quite lively, and there were seven or eight people around the door.

These people were men and women, most of the men were shirtless, and the women were also dressed in rags, their faces full of anxiety, their eyes looking toward the door of the medical clinic from time to time.

Shama drove the boat and stopped steadily next to the medical clinic, the boat body collided with the wooden board of the medical clinic platform, making a "bang" sound.

Afterward, he jumped off the boat first, tied the rope, and Gao De followed and left the small boat.

The seven or eight people at the door subconsciously turned their gaze, and then after seeing the Hai Shao Bing uniform on Gao De, their expressions changed, showing a respectful look, their eyes full of awe, and they were about to make a salute.

Gao De waved his hand, stopping their actions.

He boarded the platform, then came to the door, stepped over the threshold, and entered it.

The interior of the medical clinic was not as dim as other shanties, but very bright.

This was because in the center of the room stood a nun in a green nun's robe, with a slightly fat body, and a lantern floating on her shoulder.

The lantern emitted a soft and bright light, illuminating the room.

First-rank transformation spell, 【Dancing Lights】.

Gao De instantly recognized the origin of this lantern and also determined the identity of the nun, who should be Physician Doctor Danika in Shama's mouth.

There were also several small beds in the room. These small beds looked very simple, composed of wooden boards and old mattresses. At this moment, they were all lying with wounded people.

And Physician Doctor Danika was standing in front of one of the small beds.

Lying on the bed was a man who was shirtless, covered in wounds, oozing blood, and unconscious.

Those wounds were all blackened, but some green liquid was applied, which should be some kind of herb, temporarily stopping the man's wounds from further deteriorating.

Physician Doctor Danika extended her right hand and pressed her palm gently on the man's chest.

Her expression was focused, and her eyes revealed a trace of solemnity.

The next moment, a green light poured out from her palm, like a nimble silk ribbon, slowly flowing into the man's body.

In this green light, there was a trace of vitality, making the man's vitality become vigorous, and even the blackness at the wound was reduced a lot.

Seeing this, Gao De's heart moved violently.

This was a first-rank evocation spell, 【Healing】!

As a healing spell, 【Healing】 was an absolutely rare spell.

And even among rare spells, it was also a higher-level one, and its value was far better than attack spells.

He didn't expect that in the simple medical clinic in the Makoko District, he could encounter a mage who had mastered such a rare spell.
