Chapter 108 Reward ( 1 )

Vincent's alchemy skill is something that he has taken note of after he managed to cure Dennise of a disease that he would even have a hard time healing.

Based on the symptoms that the Divine Doctor had seen from Dennise, he already guessed that it was called Tantra's Chill. It's a disease that slowly drains the infected person's life.

If it was him, he would need various precious herbs to create a potion to alleviate the symptoms before he can use his healing hands. However, he had seen Vincent use a simple mid-grade potion that seems to have been slightly modified to completely cure her without any side effects.

It was something that he couldn't understand and wanted to learn! However, this is obviously Vincent's secret and he can't just ask for it without paying a huge price.

It's similar to the secrets of his healing hands. There was no way he would easily reveal its secrets as this is how he makes a living.

"I understand, Divine Doctor Ji. I made some preparation already. Severin is a Poison Expert from Zemin Clan and he would be helping you to create medicine or any method to cure all the poisoned men on our side. As for the payment, we have already found the special materials you were looking for. It should be here in just a few more days."

p "Hmm… That's good… I will try my best. I could also use this as a learning experience and increase my knowledge about poisons. In any case, this man here is also an expert when it comes to potions, I wonder if you're interested in helping us?" Divine Doctor Ji suddenly asked as he looked at Vincent.

This greatly surprised the latter since he had never considered this situation. Right now, he thought that after meeting the general, he would just receive his reward and look for his fiancé.

"Doctor Ji? I'm not that good… I'm still lacking and I only know superficial things about potions." Vincent said as he tried not to get entangled too much.

However, he suddenly recalled what General Yves said.

'Wait… Severin is from the Zemin Clan… He definitely knows my fiancé…' Vincent mused.

"Hoho~ You don't have to belittle yourself, young man. Your skills are nothing to scoff at. Just look at the situation with me before you decide whether you wanted to help or not."

With that said, Vincent can only accept since it would be too rude to just continue refusing.

In any case, once he had proven that he can't do much, he could just leave them.

"Very well, let's see the situation first. In the meantime, I would like to know why the General wanted to see all of us here." Vincent said as he returned his gaze to the general.

"Haha! Of course. I didn't just call you here to thank you for your efforts in bringing the doctor and the supplies to us, I'm also giving you all a reward. We may be lacking funds right now due to the current situation here on the frontlines but we have obtained several treasures from the Barbarians. I will allow you all to pick one among those. I will lead you all to the treasure vault…"

As soon as he said this, Vincent and the others couldn't help but feel excited.

"Uhmmm… Sir General… I didn't really do anything so I won't be joining the treasuring picking. Instead, can you allow me to take a rest for now? Though I'm already fine thanks to Sir Vincent's potions, my body has gotten weaker and I needed a lot of rest so I can start rebuilding my mana core."

Dennise said with a smile. Apparently, her disease had affected her Mana Core. Though it didn't completely cripple her, her core was damaged by that disease. Even with Vincent's potions, it will take time for her to adjust and allow the external mana to be stored inside her body again.

"I understand. I will call someone to help you. In any case, since you have decided to stick with the group and lend your escort to help with the transportation, I will give you this token… Everyone will receive one later as well."

The general said as he handed a coin-size token to Dennise. It is octagonal and made of blue metal. It has a pattern of the tiger representing the Blue Storm Army.

"You can use this token to get some help from any members of the Blue Storm Army. As long as you stay here in the eastern region of the kingdom, you will find this very helpful. This token can also be seen as a sign of our friendship so don't lose it."

"What? Isn't this too precious?" Dennise was shocked as she already understands how valuable this thing was. She heard from her father that the Blue Storm Army is the strongest force in this region after all!

"It's fine… I know that it wasn't easy for you as well. One of the Master Magicians escorting you even sacrificed his life for this task. This token is rightfully yours." General Yves said as he convinced Dennise to take it.

After that, he called for a knight outside to bring Dennise to a vacant room to let her rest for a while.

Knight Claude also arrived at this time as he brought Severin with him.

Since Divine Doctor Ji has no interest in any of the Barbarian treasures, he decided to just follow Severin to the infirmary where the poisoned people are being treated.

Of course, he already reminded Vincent to follow them after he selected a treasure.

Finally, General Yves led Vincent, Alfred, Raymond, and Ladislas to the treasure vault so they can find a suitable treasure for themselves.

'Hmm… I imagined that the barbarians were people who fell behind with their technology. But if their treasure is actually being valued, does it mean that the barbarians weren't those uncivilized or savage people that I'm thinking of?' Vincent mused as they got closer to the treasure vault.

They passed through several guards and knights patrolling the castle or the headquarters of the Blue Storm Army.

It even took them about five minutes to arrive in front of the treasure vault.

"We're here… You are all allowed to take one item each. All treasures here are really valuable and would normally be sold for 10,000 gold coins and above. I wouldn't normally allow anyone to take these things out. However, the problems you have encountered to help us are just too much. Aside from the death of a Master Magician, even Elder Han who had almost mastered the Primal Sword Technique died… Your Sect Leader will surely be angry with us."

General Yves said as his mouth twitched after recalling this.

It appears that he actually knows the Sect Leader of the Primal Sword Sect.

Creak~

The two knights who were guarding the treasure vault opened the metal door under the orders of the general.

Soon, Vincent's group was finally exposed to the treasures of the Barbarians.

'To think that I'll see their treasures first before even meeting them…' Vincent mused as he looked at the items shelved neatly within the room.

He knows that the barbarians have human-like features as well but they are larger than normal humans. The smallest Barbarian was said to be three meters tall!

Ever since then, he imagined the barbarians as muscular figures with weapons like a huge battle axe, halberds, or great swords as their weapons.

But he was wrong!

All he sees on the shelves were grimoires!

'No way… This is weird…'

Vincent then looked carefully and finally confirmed that there are a few double-edged swords and spears at the furthest back of the treasure vault.

Vincent looked at the other people who entered with him and as expected, they weren't surprised by the sight as they all looked at the grimoires with great interest.

"Are they barbarians some sort of magicians? Why are we seeing mostly books here?" Vincent asked.

It was General Yves who answered with a smile.

"It's not like that. Most of the barbarians are still using swords and spears as their weapons. It's just because only Barbarian Warlocks have valuable weapons that have low requirements so we are collecting them. It doesn't matter whether you have completed the Mana Baptism or not, you will be able to use their Grimoires… Isn't that interesting enough? Although they have decent cold weapons as well, our Magic Craftsmen were still capable of creating something better after all."

"Such a low requirement… Is that even possible?" Vincent was shocked after hearing this. No wonder they were all excited to see these many grimoires on the shelf.

"Of course… Now, go find a treasure you want for yourself. You can only select one. I will give you all half an hour." General Yves said as he retreated to the closed door. It seems that he will watch them picking a treasure.

Vincent didn't mind it at all as he proceeded to check the nearest shelf.
