Chapter 99 Decision
Vincent then saw the door of the small house open as the servant of the Divine Doctor came out to greet Elder Han's group.
After a while, he saw Elder Han get invited inside while the rest of the disciples stayed outside.
Vincent then looked around the disciples and the mercenaries that were left behind and confirmed that Disciple Daniel wasn't included.
Daniel was the strongest disciple of the Primal Sword Sect and it's surprising that he's currently not with them.
"Hmm? Is he being treated by the Divine Doctor?" Vincent said as he thoughtfully glance at the small house where the Divine Doctor is.
Based on what he heard from Elder Han just now, it appears that this Divine Doctor was also invited to visit the Arms City with them.
Well, it wasn't that surprising considering the threat of the Barbarian invasion. In this nearing battle, it would be normal that there would be many people who were going to be injured and that potions may not be enough to save them.
The presence of the Divine Doctor will certainly lower the casualties on their kingdom's side.
"Oh~ It's them…"
As Vincent was observing the small house and thinking about how to approach the Primal Sword Sect disciples, he saw the three people that he just helped to reach this city.
They are Denise and his two escorts, Alfred and Mathias, that are both Mana Arts Practitioners at the level of a Master Magician.
Vincent then recalled that they are indeed looking for the Divine Doctor and it seems that they have just found the doctor now.
Unfortunately, as soon as they arrived the Divine Doctor together with a few injured members of the Primal Sword Sect came out and it seems that they are about to leave.
It appears that some disciples who came out were actually being treated by the Divine Doctor. Right now, Vincent can see that these people have bandages on their bodies and pale faces like they have lost a lot of blood.
This included Daniel who has his left eye covered by a patch. It seems that they have been in a dire battle before getting here into the city.
Clip, clop, clip, clop…
The sound of horse's hooves was heard as Vincent's carriage arrived near the Divine Doctor's house, or perhaps clinic.
He immediately came out and greeted the group.
"Vincent! You're here." Elder Han immediately recognized them. Of course, this includes Alfred's group who had just separated from them a moment ago. They also gave a slight nod to Vincent acknowledging his presence.
"Are you guys about to leave? I'm also planning to visit Arms City. Is it alright to follow you?" Vincent asked with a smile.
"Of course! Your presence would be a great help to us." Elder Han didn't hesitate as he quickly agreed to Vincent.
He knows that Vincent and Tara weren't ordinary people after all.
"That's great… Are you perhaps planning to bring the Divine Doctor to the Arms City as well?" Vincent asked as he looked at the dignified old man who had just come out of the small house. The divine doctor is probably in his sixties already but he still appears to be very refined.
Although he has long white hair and a long beard already, he still exudes a strong vitality that normally wasn't present in the old people.
He remained silent as he just continued observing the young Dennise who doesn't seem to be well at the moment.
Elder Han then confirmed his suspicion that they have to bring the Divine Doctor to assist the medical team of the city.
However, another patient had just arrived and they were in a dilemma. They can't stay here for too long after all. Based on their estimation, the Barbarian Invasion should be starting in about five more days.
Unfortunately, it would take about seven more days to travel from Canthus City to Arms City so they have to hurry.
At this moment, the Divine Doctor seems to have completed diagnosing Dennise as he spoke gently to Alfred.
"It would take me three days to cure her. I'm sure you already tried all possible healing potions you can purchase in various apothecaries."
"Yes, Divine Doctor Ji, we have tried even Mid-Grade Healing Potion and Rejuvenation Potions… There were also Tier 2 Recovery Pills that we've tried but…" Alfred didn't continue but everyone could understand that none of them were able to cure Dennise's condition.
"Divine Doctor Ji, we don't even know what kind of disease is this…" Mathias added as he recalled how they have hired numerous Alchemists and Doctors to help their young miss but none of them has a solution.
Now that the Divine Doctor confirmed that she can be healed in a few days, they were desperate to ask for his help!
"It's not like she's going to die already… She probably has about three more months to leave… I'll come back here after finishing my business in the Arms City. I already received their payment so I can't delay any longer."
The Divine Doctor didn't think too much of their situation as he just cold answered the two escorts.
Vincent wasn't sure whether he was just too faithful to the people who already paid for his service or heartless for not taking Dennise's matter too seriously!
Within three months, there are a lot of things that could happen!
Her disease might worsen or the invasion of the barbarians might even be successful! If that happens, the Divine Doctor may no longer have a chance to return to this city.
They don't even know how long this battle would last.
Without waiting for Alfred's reply, the Divine Doctor already ordered his servants to block his group as he headed to his carriage going to the Arms City.
"Doctor, please, give us some of your time… Sir, please help us. We're willing to pay you with a treasure…" Alfred realized that he can't convince the Divine Doctor as he turned to Elder Han.
However, Elder Han was conflicted as well. To be delayed by another three days to cure the young girl was too much. They were already delayed because they have unfortunately encountered a group of venomous Savage Beasts along the road. Even Disciple Daniel's left eye was blinded because of this.
If they delayed this more, there might be more sacrifices in the Arms City because they haven't delivered the unique weapons of their Primal Sword Sect and the White Tiger to the general.
He can only refuse as he leads his group away.
Haa…
Vincent took a long deep breath after seeing all of this.
