After an emergency discussion, everyone quickly made a decision.
The Martial Artists were in charge of finding a doctor. There were only a few doctors in this area anyway. According to Glis 'description, Elder Edgar's condition was very serious and probably couldn't be treated by ordinary doctors. However, it was better than a Martial Warrior who only knew how to heal. Even if he couldn't be cured, it would be good if he could wake him up. With Elder Edgar's medical skills, it was very likely that he could cure him.
As for the warriors, they all rushed to Farah and prepared to enter the swamp to save them.
In the carriage ahead, Margaret and Madam Mary sat on the cushion and carefully looked at the map of the swamp. Grissy curled up in a corner of the carriage and sobbed softly.
Ever since Margaret suggested letting Glis ride with him to Farah, the warriors 'attitude towards them had changed a lot. They no longer kept a respectful distance from them. Daley and Lauder also seized the opportunity to chat with them along the way, and everyone gradually became familiar with each other.
The panic-stricken Grissy gradually calmed down under Margaret's comfort. For some reason, Grissy felt that even though the woman in front of her was not much older than her, all her troubles would be solved as long as she told her. During the questioning, Margaret finally learned about the legend of the golden magnolias.
It was a local legend. It was said that when a kind person encountered a disaster, as long as someone could find the Magnolia Goddess who lived in seclusion in the swamp, the goddess would fulfill his wish and let the kind person turn the disaster into good luck and come back to life. Because the goddess's entire body was shining with golden light, she was named the Golden Magnolia.
After confirming that she had memorized all the routes, Margaret raised her head.
"Glis, the one called Gru has never been to the swamp or the association, right?”
"Yes."
Hearing Margaret's question, Grissy hurriedly raised her head and answered.
"That means he probably doesn't know how to get here.”
Margaret pointed at a place on the map.
"This is the only place with magnolias in the swamp. Does he know the general direction?”
"Legend has it that as long as you keep going north and overcome all difficulties, you will find the golden magnolias.”
Glis answered obediently.
"The direction is correct."
Margaret nodded and drew a line between the village and the magnolias.
"There are many obstacles on the road. I wonder if a Level Three martial artist can make it to the tree alive?”
Margaret thought to herself.
As time passed, the humidity in the air became heavier and heavier, and there was a strange smell of decay. After some time, the carriage finally stopped.
Margaret held Grissy's hand and got off the carriage.
It was a small village, shrouded in humidity. The village was surrounded by thorny plants to prevent the wild beasts in the swamp from attacking. Behind the thorny fence was a blue plant. After that, there were all kinds of herbs, and then there were small houses. The group of people who had rushed over from the town stopped in front of a small house at the edge of the village. A group of people with patched clothes gathered around the small house and looked at the warriors with expectant eyes.
Seeing Margaret walking towards the house, everyone could not help but make way for her.
Margaret walked into the room, felt the old man's pulse, and then put her ear on the old man's chest, listening for a while.
Seeing that Margaret was behaving herself, the onlookers looked at her expectantly.
"Miss?"
When Margaret finally raised her head, Madam Mary couldn't help but ask.
"I've read some medical books."
said Margaret, embarrassed.
"According to the book, Mr. Edgar's body should have been exhausted to a certain extent, causing him to fall unconscious. Although there are treatment methods in the books, I have never treated a patient before. I think it's better to wait for other doctors to discuss a method.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, it was better not to put Mr. Edgar's life in the hands of a novice.
About an hour later, the two doctors rode their horses to the front of the house. They immediately jumped off their horses and rushed into the house without even straightening their clothes.
Unfortunately, although it proved that Margaret's judgment was correct, the two doctors had no choice. As for the medicine in the prescription that Margaret suggested, it was impossible to get it in such a small place.
"To be honest, the doctors in this area are not as good as us. I'm afraid they can't save Mr. Edgar.”
After a while, a doctor broke the silence in the room.
"I think we should think of a way to wake Mr. Edgar up. That way, he might be able to cure himself.”
another doctor said.
Hearing the two doctors 'words, Margaret silently walked out of the room. After a while, she came back with a small bottle.
"Miss?"
Madam Mary was slightly shocked when she saw the bottle.
"It's worth it."
Margaret walked to Edgar's bed and carefully poured out a pill from the bottle. Instantly, the whole room was filled with fragrance.
Seeing the actions of Margaret and Madam Mary, everyone realized that the pill must be extremely precious. They held their breaths and watched as Margaret pried open the old man's teeth and put the pill into his mouth.
After a while, the old man's throat made a sound. Then, he took a few heavy breaths and slowly opened his eyes.
There was a burst of suppressed cheers in the room, and everyone looked at Margaret with grateful eyes.
"This is…Who are you?"
The old man was obviously not fully awake. He looked at the noble woman in front of him with a confused expression.
Everyone looked at Margaret with gratitude.
"Mr. Edgar, don't worry about who I am.”
Margaret said as Edgar gradually regained consciousness.
"You only have two hours to wake up, and then you'll have to sleep for a day, so please seize the opportunity to save yourself.”
"Oh, I see. My illness can't be cured. It can only be delayed.”
Edgar composed himself.
"Moreover, the medicine needed to delay the time is too precious. It's best not to waste it on me.”
"That's not right."
Margaret advised gently.
" You see, for the sake of your health, so many people have come to visit. There's even a gentleman named Gru who went deep into the swamp to look for some golden magnolias…"
"Gru went to the swamp?"
Edgar hurriedly interrupted Margaret's words and struggled to stand up, but Margaret gently held him down.
"Mr. Edgar, please listen to me."
Margaret's voice was still calm, like a gentle breeze, calming people's hearts.
"There are so many warriors here. It won't be a problem to save that gentleman. The most important thing now is for you to tell us a prescription that can delay your illness. Otherwise, if your illness doesn't improve, even if we save that gentleman, he will go deep into the swamp again.”
"Yes, yes."
The warriors at the side echoed.
Elder Edgar calmed down and gave a prescription. Margaret carefully wrote down the herbs on the prescription, then read it out to Elder Edgar. After confirming it, she handed it to the two doctors standing beside her to copy.
"The other medicines are fine."
After Elder Edgar rested, Margaret said to the warriors who had gathered together.
"There are still eight herbs that we need to get. There are four that are rarely used, so it's not dangerous to collect them. We can leave them to the martial artists to find. As for the other four, we can only rely on us.”
"These four are all from the wild beasts in this area, and they are specifically indicated to be king level beasts. There are twelve of us, how should we split them?”
A warrior asked.
"I think everyone here is born and raised here, so you're more familiar with where these monsters are than us.”
Margaret said after some thought.
"I would like to ask everyone to form groups of two to gather these materials. My team has assassins who are good at tracking, so leave the matter of saving people to us.”
"Alright."
The others discussed for a while and followed Margaret's instructions. They split up and entered the swamp area.
"Mary, you take Daley and start tracking from the village. Lauder and I will go to the Magnolia Tree first before going back.”
After everyone left, the four of them changed into their boots and went to the village entrance. Margaret gave the order.
"Yes."
Mary and Daley lowered their heads in response and quickly ran towards the swamp, while Margaret brought Lauder and ran in another direction.
