Chapter 84: Deal
84- Deal
Hello, Orochi. My name is She. I have heard a lot about you from my daughters mouth. Thank you for taking caring of Armelia.
Said Armelias mother or She.
Ummm... yea...
I could not think of a proper answer because it was hard to maintain eye contact with She since she was so attractive and I feared that they might find my stare/look simr to that of a pervert.
Fufu... Looks like your boyfriend is shy.
Hearing this I justughed awkwardly and Armelia who was beside me, replied in a stuttering voice
Ahh...Aunt Bertha, he...he is not my boyfriend. And I wont ever talk to you if say that again.
fufufu... my niece is getting angry on her Aunt huh? Alright then, I will not tease you in front of your boyfriend then.
AHHH....Aunt!!! Go, I wont talk to you anymore.
With that Armelia ran out of the room.
Seeing her running away, I was startled because Armelia was a link between She and I. And if she was not present, it would be difficult for me discuss matter regarding the cure for the poison.
But before I could call her, Armelia was already gone.
Since Armelia was gone, it would look cowardly if I could not talk for what I havee. So, I decided to take my chances. I tried calming down and asked She
She, I heard that the poison in my body can be cured? Is that correct?
I looked at She with expectation.
Yes.
I felt relieved after hearing this answer. And my tensed muscles rxed.
So, I quickly asked her
Could you please tell me how can it be solved?
Hmm... I could tell you but what do I get in return?
She asked me with a smile.
Hearing this I felt that a bucket of cold water was poured on me. But since I need to solve the poison issue, I decided to throw away any unnecessary pride.
Well, there is no free food in this world, huh? But what can I give her?
Seeing my troubled expression, She chuckled and spoke
I was just joking... well just partially.
She continued,
I am grateful to you for looking after my daughter. So, I will tell you how your problem can be solved.
As you might know, the poisons used on you is one of the most lethalbinations, especially for a human like you. (Devils Breath) which prevent you from cultivating and (Nine times destroying herb) which chips away the cultivation level and cripples the person who consumes it. There is hardly any cure to this.
Of course, there might be people who possess great knowledge in the field of medicines and poisons, or there might be miraculous medicines that can just save you. But I dont think that it would be easier to find those and even if you did, then you will have to prepare to pay the price for it.
But luckily, you have met Armelia and destiny has brought you to us.
As you know, the serpent family has many poisonous sub families in it. And there is hardly any living being who is more knowledgeable in the field of poison whenpared to the serpent family. The serpent family has the deadliest poisons avable and also the cure for those. And we are the ones that can help you in removing the poison from your body.
And for your information, Bertha over here belongs to the royal family. And if we both join our hands then we can cure you.
Hearing this I fell into contemtion. What She said about - I can find people or medicines that can cure my problem, is true but it would be practically impossible for me though. Because, I belonged to the Leon n which holds a huge power in the Saurastra kingdom. And since their power could not even find the (Devils Breath) that was lurking in my body, then I hardly expect anyone else to help me. Of course, if I travel all of Pagero Continent, then I might someone but it would be like searching a needle in a haystack.
And I dont know how much my body and health will deteriorate by then. So, instead of keeping my hopes on fake dream and wasting my time, I should quickly solve my problem.
And from what I understood, both Bertha and She together can solve my problem. But from their expressions I can understand that require something from me.
Well, it''s not like I have anything to lose. As long as they dont ask for my life and their requirement does not cross my limit, I can pay any price to get my poison cured.
So, taking a deep breath, I asked
Then I would ask for your help and if there is any condition or requirement, please tell me. As long as it is not my life, I can do anything for the cure,
Fufufu...Orochi was it? Not bad. You knew that we will not help you for free. Maybe, She would have agreed to help you without any condition, but I wont because I do not trust humans. But from what I heard, you risked your life for Armelia, which has earned my appreciation. Hence, I am willing to help as long as you promise to fulfill 4 conditions. Mine 2 condition and Shes 2, what do you think She?
Bertha looked at She.
Yes, if you agree to our 4 conditions then we will help you with the poison in your body. And dont worry, it won''t be difficult conditions. What do you think?
Replied She, while looking at me.
I replied without any hesitation
Yes, I ept it. As long as you dont ask for my life and dont ask me to be your ve, I ept any condition that you have.
