Epic Of The Demonic Sage

Lucius carefully read the information that was given to him by nexus.

Gift Name: Healing pulse

Description: The user can heal the injuries of a person such as cuts, scratches, bruises. Infections, poisons, and diseases cannot be cured. Dismembered body parts cannot be healed.

Rank: Rare

He could tell that the gift was rather useful, even though the limitations of it were quite obvious. Lucius now understood why Delia had not been of much help when he was injured. She could not heal diseases.

Though the description still left a lot for him to learn about. It didn’t say if internal injuries could be healed by it or not. Neither did it say if it could fix other complex things such as blood clots or broken bones.

Lucius wanted to know more information of course, but his Aether had already been drained from this single use. And since he did not know more information about her gift beforehand, only the basic information had been revealed.

‘Though for her type of gift, I reckon it must be an emitter type of a gift.’ Lucius thought.

He then watched as Delia extended her hand and placed it on his chest. A warm pulse of energy came from her hand that made him feel comfortable. The energy spread from her hand and coursed through his body, reaching all the way to the tip of his toes.

She kept her hand on his body for about a minute, after which she lifted it. Lucius looked at her for signs of exhaustion, but there were none. But he could also tell that whatever small vessels he had burst in his body had been healed.

The pain in his chest and throat had disappeared. But the headache was still not gone, which he understood as it was not something that could be healed so easily. Lucius would have an easier time if he took some pain killer drugs instead.

‘Hmm… there should be those drugs… or rather something similar to that in this world, too. I saw poppy seeds in the food, so they should definitely have poppy extract.’ Lucius thought.

Delia lifted her hand and nodded her head.

“There we go. How do you feel now?” Delia questioned.

“Much better. The sect pain is gone, but the headache is still there.” Lucius answered.

“Ah, I see. That was expected. My gift is not effective on things like those. That’s why I use herbs and medicines for that.” Delia said before looking at Kiana.

“Give young lord Asher some tea made from willow bark. That should help with that headache and any leftover pain.” Delia advised.

“Thank you, healer Delia. I’ll get it made right away.” Kiana said.

“Alright, I’ll head back now. If you need me, I’ll be in my clinic.” Delia said before leaving the room.

Once she was gone Lucius spoke, “where is healer Delia’s clinic?”

“It is down the road from the mansion. You must have seen it when we passed by there in carriaige, there’s usually a line of people standing outside it.” Kiana answered.

Lucius thought over it and indeed, recognized the place. Though he had not seen any name board there.

‘Must have been hidden behind something, or I just missed it somehow. Though using willow bark is a good remedy for pain. At least for the standard of this world, I suppose.’ Lucius thought.

Kiana then went to get medicine that was advised by healer Delia, while Asher read through more books. He thought that perhaps he should take a look at the medicinal books of this world, too.

There were bound to be many of them that he had never heard nor seen. Not to mentions the various effects that could be shown by them.

In his past life, Lucius had used quite a few drugs to boost his physical strength. These drugs were made from magical herbs and when used in combination with magic, strengthened the physique of the user.

There were even some special potions that could boost the total capacity of one’s mana. These were quite rare and difficult to make, but he had some knowledge about them too. Sadly for him, his specialty was not in medicines and potions, thus he had not learned more about it in detail.

“Hmm… seeing as how many things match my previous world’s conditions, I wonder if there are potions or substances that can boost my Aether capacity just the way they boost mana?” Lucius muttered to himself.

He had actually been looking for methods to boost his own Aether capacity as being able to use his gift only once was rather limiting. Lucius had learned from both Kiana and Kain in passing that regular use of gifts would boost one’s Aether capacity and just getting older would do the same as well.

It was the reason why a lot of babies or children needed the help of the appraisal hall to display their gifts, as they simply did not have enough capacity to do it on their own.

~Sigh~

“I’m gonna need an extra pair of hands and eyes at this rate…” Lucius muttered, missing the tech from his past life.

Eventually Kiana came back with a mug of tea for Lucius who quickly drank it down, wanting to get rid of the headache. The effect was shown rather quickly in less than five minutes. Feeling better, Lucius went to the library for his daily lessons.

Though today Kain had a surprise for Lucius.

“Take these. They should help you with the artifacts. It’s mostly basic stuff but once you are done with these, I can get you better books.” Kain said as he handed Lucius a bundle of nearly twenty books.

They were easily over thirty kilograms in weight and almost made Lucius fall when Kain handed them to him. The man was carrying them with ease and the weight did not seem to bother him, which made Lucius raise his brows.

‘From his body, it doesn’t seem like he’s too strong either though…’ Lucius thought to himself.

“Thank you for this, master Kain.” Lucius said.

“It’s no problem. If you truly get some skill with artifacts, it would only make me and the count proud.” Kain replied.
