Physics The Greatest Magic 70 Chapter 17: Pharmacy

Since we had no idea where her father was, and the person who was supposed to tell us, ended up falling into a deep sleep, we decided to look for a pharmacy or hospital as we admired the city.

"Hey, John look! They're using wind magic to dry their clothes." Said Ariel excitedly

There were people casting wind spells and drying their clothes near what seemed to be their houses.

Looks like she's still hyped about coming

"Just like mine, no wait, mine gathers the water itself so..."

"John's way is unique." Said Ariel

A good unique right

"Thanks, a good unique or..." I said

"Obviously an abnorm- a good unique." Said serena as she joined in

"Than- Oi, what was that?" I asked

"That your way of drying clothes is a good unique?" Said Serena

Nope you were definitely trying to say something else

"Anyways, Any clues as to where the pharmacy might be?" Serena asked

Changing the topic... Is this revenge for earlier?

"Why don't we just ask?" I asked

Suddenly everyone looked at me with a surprised expression

"What?" I asked

"I'm surprised i didn't think of that..." Muttered Serena

"Yeah..." Said, Ariel

***

"Excuse me, do you know where the nearest pharmacy is?" I asked a random person who walked by

"Pharmacy... If you follow the path, you'll see a shop with the sign of herbs, That will be what you are looking for. They also have a doctor there."

"I see, thank you." I said

As the man was about to leave i stopped him and handed him 5 silver coins

"Are you sure?" He asked as he looked over at the coins

"Of course, information is valuable after all." I replied

"Thank you very much!" Said the man as he bowed and left

"Hey, did you have to pay him?" Serena asked

"Well there was no reason not to, and we can always make more later. His information was helpful after all."

"What if he was lying?" Serena asked

"He wasn't," I replied

"Hmm, Okay, ah, you said something about information being valuable right? Remember all those times i informed you of the monsters? Where's my reward?" Serena asked with a smile

"Hmm, I thought the cake was the reward? Well since you don't want it, I guess only me and Ariel will have it, I can get you a different reward later" I replied

"T-The cake is fine." Said serena

I'm getting more and more used to it, Your teasing won't work on me anymore...

We followed the path as the man said and began to look around for the herb sign

"This kingdom feels sort of safe," Said Ariel

"Why would you say that?" I asked

"There hasn't been any robberies since we came in" Ariel replied

She's right, there's also a magic barrier outside of the kingdom, Although it's not visible, i could feel it. Any country that tried to invade this kingdom would probably end up biting the dust.

"You're right..." I muttered

"Over there." Said Eleanor as she pointed over at the herb sign shop

"Looks like we found it, let's go, I'll go get alfred."

After i said that, We got off the carriage and parked it slightly off the road on the side road. I picked up Alfred and we went inside the store with him.

The inside wasn't too big or small, it was a perfect size. There were potions all around the store on the shelves, each store in some sort of cylinder small bottle.

I called them potions but they might be something else, i cant tell from just the shape.

"Welcome, How may i hel-!?"

Before she could finish, she stopped once she noticed alfred unconscious on my back.

"What happened to him?" She asked as she went over to us.

"He was poisoned, We gave him an antidote but he hasn't woken up since."

"How bad was it when you gave him the antidote?" She asked as she performed a check up on him

She checked his pupils and mouth to see if anything was blocking his breathing and the sort.

"He was coughing blood" I replied

When she heard me, the receptionist made a worried expression

"What's wrong? Will he be fine?" Asked Eleanor

"He'll be fine, Sorry, i was just thinking about how hard it must have been for him." She said

"What do you mean?" I asked

"The antidote won't help much if it spread to the point where he was coughing up blood,

"So you're telling me, he hasn't been getting better?" I Asked

"No, but it was enough to weaken the poison so that it wouldn't kill him. Whoever gave him the antidote did a good job at saving his life." She replied

After that she began to chant something, I couldn't understand it, now that i think about it, i couldn't understand any chantings so far from any mage,

Could it be..? I don't have any talent for chanting? No maybe it's in another magic spell language that i don't understand, but if that's the case how long will it take to learn it? The entrance exam will start soon won't it?

I've only met around 5 so it's two soon to judge... I should ask Eleanor when the entrance exams are, after Alfred is healed, me and Ariel need to learn how to chant... And if she was able to do it when she possessed my body, then i should to...

"Advanced Holy magic: Purify" Muttered the receptionist

A bright light was formed around her arms which were placed slightly above alfreds, The expression of pain on his face, seemed to be fading.

Nearly instantaneous effects, her abilities are no joke... At this rate he'll wake up.

"Alfred, make sure you hurry up and wake up. The person whom you tried so hard to protect ,is waiting, after all."
