Claire’s eyes lit up, and she turned her focus on this dish. She said, “I’ll have that.”
“Pebble grass with mixed vegetables can help in physical growth and development, but…”
Before Timo could finish speaking, Claire had already put a spoonful into her mouth and promptly screamed.
Timo continued with a smile, “But pebble grass is hotter than chili peppers.”
Following that, more than a dozen dishes were introduced, each with its own special effect. Even Philip, whose
realm had been stuck in the early stage of a half-step to the other shore, felt as if there was a slight advancement.
***
In the next two days, Philip read all the books in the medical hall and asked Mr. Keppel about some herbal
knowledge.
The herb he got from Commander Graham the other day was a grade-seven herb to prolong life. This herb mostly
grew in obscure places, and herbs were also divided into grades, from grade one through 11.
The higher the grade, the rarer it was!
Grade ten was also called the holy grade, While grade 11 only existed in legends. It was the god grade. Almost no
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtone had ever discovered a god-grade special medicine.
The herbs’ age, appearance, and efficacy were comprehensively judged and graded. Most of the herbs used for
normal practice were grade five.
Philip also found that the books about herbal records in the medical hall were not comprehensive. Most of the herbs
only had a picture without detailed information, but the Multidew Herb that Philip was looking for did not even have
a picture.
At the end of a book, Philip found several herb records that were obviously added later.
[Zombie Herb: It can bring people back from the dead, but the resurrected will be irritable and attack both friend
and foe. Grade nine.]
[Revival Twig: It’ll take about an hour to revive a person who just died, but all practice bases will be lost. Grade
nine.]
Philip sighed and closed the book. His mother probably left this behind when she was looking for special medicines.
In the research room, Philip asked the old man who was grinding the medicine, “Mr. Keppel, what does your
benefactor look like?”
Timo kept his eye on the special medicine that was gradually being ground into powder in his hand and said, “She
has been of great help to our medical hall. I can even say that she saved Montana Alliance’s medical hall all by
herself…”
“At that time, our alliance had just been established, and it was the period of expansion. The resources in our
medical hall were no higher than grade five, but we had countless casualties. That was until she appeared…”
“Every seven days, she’d turn up with a lot of special medicines and relied on her superb medical skills to bring
many people back from the brink of death. Some of the herbs stored in the medical hall now were left over from
that time.”
Seeing that a portion of the medicine had been ground, Timo got up and bottled it.
He then added another portion of dried herbs before he continued, “She has done more than that. By virtue of her
strength alone, she intimidated several established alliances and won us a suitable living space. Not only Montana
Alliance but also the development of several other alliances nearby has to do with her, such as the Starfire
Alliance.”
At this point, Timo sighed and said, “But after the growth of those alliances, they were afraid that her existence
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwould affect the status of their leaders, so they joined forces to drive her out of this area. However, for some time
after that, she’d still return to the medical hall and bring some prescriptions with her for us. This happened more
than ten years ago…”
The old man stood up and massaged his back, lamenting how time flew by.
Hearing that his mother was driven away by joint coercion, Philip clenched his fists.
After calming his emotions, he continued asking, “Where did she go later?”
“She seemed dissatisfied with the effects of many herbs, so she set off to the depths of the land belonging to the
ancient dragon royal family. There has been no news of her since then.”
Philip muttered under his breath, “But she already found it.”
“Found what?” Timo was puzzled.
Philip was startled and thought about it. If there was a special herb that could resurrect someone without any
conditions, the entire land of the other shore would be in an uproar if they heard about it. There must be some
reason why his mother did not disclose it.
Philip replied, “Nothing…”
At this moment, a message from Elder Whitmore popped up on Philip’s communicator: [Come to the meeting room
as soon as possible].
