Chapter 87

It takes me an hour to arrive at a small village at the edge of the forest. I walk through the gate and look around. By the look of it, this is a fishing village. I can see many smokers behind the villager's houses, and the smell of fish invades my nose.

I continue walking through the village and stop at one of the food vendors.

"Welcome, young man! What can I do for you?"

"What do you have?"

"Well, I have some squid, fish, and oyster."

"I will take a couple of oysters and one squid, please."

"Of course! That will be one Copper Star, please!"

I nod and put my hand into my pocket to access my inventory. When my hand gets inside my inventory, a rush of knowledge gets inside my brain. I now know the currency of this world. I remove the biggest copper coin from my inventory and give it to the vendor owner.

"Here you go."

"Thank you! You can wait at the table over there. Your food will be done soon."

I nod and walk to the nearby table. I sit on the chair and wait for my food. I look at the village, and I can say that the place is not as bad as I thought it would be. People are not starving, and there are not a lot of people being sick.

"Help! Help, please…"

I snap from my thoughts when I hear a scream from my back. I look at the source of the noises and see a woman carrying a child.

"Please! Anyone! Help my child…."

I can see the child in her arms shivering and looking pale. Seeing no one helping her, I quickly get up and walk toward her.

"Let me help."

I quickly put my hand on the child's forehead and felt his body really hot. I quickly take out my wand and start to cast healing spells on the child. The spell is to help the fever go down, and after that, I take out a potion from my inventory.

I slowly feed the child the potion and see the color of his body start to return. After a few seconds, the child's breathing started to steady up, and now he looks healthy.

"There you go. Here."

I take out two more potions from my inventory and give them to the mother.

"Feed these potions to him, okay? Let him drink one of the potions after he eats in the morning. After these two potions are done, your child will be healthy. Can you do that?"

The mother mutely nods her head.

"Good."

I smile at her and get back to my seat. However, when I sit down, people start to surround me, asking for help.

"Alright! Please create a line. I will help as much as I can."

I take a deep breath and start to work. I just hope that all of my potions are enough. I buy enough potions for me to last for a couple of years of continuous consumption, but I don't know if it can last for a week if people start coming over here.

|3rd POV|

There are rumors flying around Dragonstone. A rumor of a healer who can heal anyone, even the one who is on the brink of death. This rumor reached the ear of Lady Selyse Florent, the wife of Lord Stannis Baratheon, the Lord of Dragonstone.

"My lady… Are you sure you want to meet this man?"

Lady Selyse looks at her daughter in her hand and sees the scale-like skin on her face with sadness. She then looks back at the Maester and says.

"Yes. He might be the last person in this world who can help my daughter."

"But we don't know if this is a real deal!"

"Oh, really? The four servants we sent there are not enough evidence to you, maester?"

Selyse looks at the old Maester with disbelief. Seeing the old maester unable to answer her, she nods and leaves the castle. With a company of twenty soldiers, she and her daughter walk to the small village in the southern part of the island.

They arrive in the village at night, and Selyse looks at one of her servants.

"Where does the healer live?"

"He lives not too far away from here, my lady. He lives inside the forest, in a small house."

"Take me there."

"We are going now, my lady?!"

"Yes. The sun is just setting. He must not yet sleep. Take me there."

"Very well, my lady."

Without resting, Lady Selyse and her companion quickly follow the young woman to the forest not too far from the village. As they get deeper into the forest, they see a lone building in the middle of a clearing of the forest.

As they get closer to the house, they see a young man coming out of the house. The young man is Jacob. He looks at the group of people and says.

"What can I do for you?"

Lady Selyse walks forward and says.

"Are you the healer?"

"People start to call me that, yes."

"Please… Please help my daughter"

Jacob looks at the small bundle on the woman's hand and sees the small blue panel appear above her head.

|Shireen Baratheon (Greyscale Disease)| |Level: 1|

He blinks for a few seconds and says.

"Come inside. I will prepare for the treatment."

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Lady Selyse and her companion get inside the building. As they get inside, the people look around and widen their eyes. The inside is bigger than the outside, three times bigger. Not only that, they can also see many things inside the house.

They can see a lot of plants, vials, and other things.

After his first day of healing, Jacob decided to train his potion-making skill for the past week. He can safely say that he can brew newbie-class potions. He can brew twenty or so potions without seeing the recipe without a problem.

Jacob points his wand and flicks it. A second later, the nearby table changed into a small bed.

"Please place her on the bed."

Selyse nods and quickly places her daughter on the bed. Jacob quickly casts a diagnosis spell when the child is on the bed and sees what happens to her body.

"Hmmmm… Virus, huh?"

"How is it, healer? Can you help my daughter?"

"Easy enough."

Jacob did not see the people around him look at him with shocked expressions. There is no known cure for Greyscale. His tone makes it seem it is easy to cure Greyscale.

Jacob takes a deep breath, and suddenly, the symbol of Water Rune appears above him. The people watch in awe as a water blob appears above the small infant. The blob falls on the baby, and Lady Selyse is ready to scream but stops when she sees the blob get absorbed by the baby.

What makes her get even wider is the sight of the scale on her baby's face starting to fall off. It takes a few seconds for the scale to fall off, but the baby looks healthy by the end. Jacob put his wand on the baby's forehead and cast another diagnosis spell.

After a few seconds, Jacob nods and gets up from his chair. He walks to his trunk and leaves Selyse crying over her daughter, who is now healthy. Jacob takes five potions from his trunk and places them on the bed.

"Please take these potions and make sure to drink them. These are nutrient potions that will help your baby grow healthy. However, she cannot drink it. You need to be the one who drinks it every morning for the next five days. To make your daughter healthy, you need to breastfeed her yourself. Can you do that?"

"Of course, healer! I will make sure to breastfeed my daughter. How can I thank you? Please tell me anything!"

Jacob looks at her for a few seconds before saying.

"Can I buy land? I have money."
