Chapter 56

"Even you? What is this icy fire, that made you to be on the alert? " whispered Noah, as he wiped the smile off his face, and he now looked dispassionate.

[The cold fire ...]

[This fire is considered a curse for humans in general, and unfortunately some people are born with this fire in their bodies.]

"A curse? But why? … And why did you say, humans in general? Does that mean that no one can use that fire? "

[It is seen as a curse by the fact that it burns the host completely from the inside out. And because it practically has no way to cure the person who was born with it, since the only way to cure it would be to transfer the fire to another person, and in the end, that would be the same as just changing the person who would be consumed by the flames .]

[Now why did I say that humans in general cannot use it?]

[Well, this is not entirely true at first.]

"Huh? So what?"

[Yes, it is true that the vast majority of people cannot even dream of using it, but there have been, or are, some people who can or could use this powerful flame. However, unfortunately that never happened, because no one has ever tried anything like that.]

"And who are these people? What requirements are there to be able to use that flame? "

[Although it can be used by one, be aware that these flames definitely do not exist to be used by humans. It is practically created for a select group of demonic beasts, which when they absorb it, evolve to an extremely high level, a level that in comparison to their peaks, it even seems like a joke. And only people who have the lineage of such beasts can use that flame.]

[However, obviously when used by humans, the flame does not even come close to reaching its peak.]

"Okay, but what are these beasts?"

[Well, among them is the Demon Lion King, and also ...]

"Wait!" exclaimed the girl, after apparently having been thinking for a few minutes.

'But what a shit girl, it will scare another! … Damn, I didn't even pay attention to what the system said. … I hope that what you are going to say is very interesting, if not I swear that I will kill you, just because of the scare. '

"Didn't you say you were going to use the money to buy a drug that could cure your daughter's illness?" asked the girl.

The old man didn't understand why that girl was asking that, but he still answered "Huh? Yes, that's exactly what I said. And that's what I'm going to do. Because? Is there something wrong with that? "

"No, that's not what I meant, so please don't get me wrong." said the girl, feeling a little embarrassed, as she waved her hands in front of her face.

"What I mean is that, some time ago I read that it is impossible to cure the cold fire. So, what is this miraculous medicine, that you would buy? "

After hearing the girl's words, three men who were close to each other whispered.

"What!? Is that what you said really true? "

"I don't know, I just heard that the icy fire was something of a terrible curse."

"I also have no idea ..."

"This is not possible, he said that he would sell me a pill that could cure it, if I could get the money. He wouldn't dare lie to me! " said the old man, slightly altered.

After hearing the old man's reply, Noah asked himself in thought 'Him? … Who would this person be that the old man refers to? … And what is that tone of superiority? There's something very strange about this crown… '

"... Who was the person who promised this to you?" asked the girl.

"It was ... (Sigh) forget it, young man, I will look for some other solution." said the old man as he calmed down.

'What was this? Did the old man count? … Just because now I'm curious to know who this person is talking about… why did this old man have to restrain himself right now? '

"… So old man, could I come with you to your place? Maybe I can help your daughter. " said Noah.

"Are you sure what you're talking about?" asked the old man in a serious tone.

"But of course. Know that I would never play with someone else's life. " replied Noah, while appearing convinced in his words.

The old man looked at Noah's face for a few moments, and then said "(Sighs)… Ok young man, I will take you there, but if you are lying to me, I swear it will be impossible for you to leave that place. "

He said it in a soft tone, but a look and expression so serious that the old man seemed to have disappeared at that moment. Noah looked into those eyes and that old man's expression, and immediately felt a shiver all over his body, and in the meantime in his mind the following thought was going on 'As I thought, this old man is not as simple as he appears to be, apparently he he is just a normal old man with no cultivation, but this is far from being true, because the pressure I felt with just that look made my whole body shudder, and it is impossible for him to have done that just being an ordinary old man… and a lot least having a low level of cultivation. '

'I hope my guess is right, because if not ... probably my curiosity will have just taken my life ... but if he really is right ... it will surely be a huge gain.'

"Wait! Are you really going to believe this boy? I already said that there is no cure for it, so it's impossible for him to be able to cure it! " exclaimed the girl.

"I will give him a chance, but in case something happens to mi ... my daughter, I will definitely make him pay for it." said the old man as he stared at Noah.

'I know what you mean young man, it is very risky to believe that this boy can really save the young lady ... but I have no other option at this moment, let alone time, since at that moment she is ...'
