Chapter 385 - Salary for a 14 year old girl

Green glow, what does it remind you about. Or best yet, what do you think it can be? Well in this world, it resembles healing powers! What King Michael along with the rest discovered here is amazing, well more like King Michael didn't discover the powers but an opportunity.

A 14 year old girl from the group of 500 Zamerians who live here now, has arrived in to power. She discovered her own abilities, quite hilariously she didn't even know that she has them.

But what might interest you more, is how she discovered these powers? Well, Eric was walking in the Kingdom along with the friends he had with him at training. He is wearing a thick fur robe, but it isn't covering his hands.

This 14 year old girl saw a small durable burn mark over his knuckles. He barely felt it really, the embarrassment he faced in training is a lot more tormenting.

Thanks to her nature as a Zamerian, she felt a sudden urge to heal, a reflex. In fact she barely realized that she did it, until she saw a green glow shinning dimly. She barely even realized that she waved her own hand, she saw an injury and just wanted to help.

"Did you see that?" Mogranius gave out a mild shout, followed up by a voice crack.

"See what?" Eric asked, rubbing his ear since the tone felt as if it pinched it. He could also feel a slight relief of pain on his hand, but did not pay enough attention on it to link it with the situation.

"There was a green glow, I am sure that is a healing spell... Er power move." As Mogranius pointed at the little lady, noticing wide eyes around her after, she could barely understand what they are saying but felt like she did something wrong, even though all she did was help. I suppose Mogranius got too excited.

Eric is barely here with his thoughts, keeping his mind on the embarrassing situation earlier. While King Michael here saw an amazing opportunity, having a healer in this Kingdom can turn the tides not only in battle, but in small or medium injuries on work.

"I've ran a deep check, hoping to find healers here. How did I skip you?" King Michael asked the 14 year old girl, but seeing that she is getting confused a little bit he went a bit more slowly towards this situation. "What's your name little girl?"

"Um I'm not little, I'm 14." She answered, with the little Ignite language she knew. "My name is Ladia Ketuk."

"Perfect, Ladia. Do you wish to join me to the Castle? Can you bring your parents along too?" King Michael can not let this opportunity slip, so he wants to talk with her and her parents.

...

"Did you know that your daughter has healing powers?" King Michael asked her parents, having them invited to a dinner. Ladia's father is a blacksmith so he has been called from work to talk about this situation and Ladia's mother doesn't really work.

Not knowing the language enough, her father answered. "She powers? What is power?"

"Healing spells, she healed the Electus here although the injury was minor." King Michael pointed at Eric across the table, and asked him. "Can you show your hand please?"

Eric afterwards waved his hand upwards, pointed at the small burn wound and said. "This used to be a bit bigger, my friend saw a green glow on me, your daughter waving your hand and now the wound is almost gone." For someone nervous in social situations, he sure explained it in detail although in a slight rush.

Speaking to Ladia in their own Kastarian Language, he asked. "Since when did you gain powers? Did you get in trouble with the King? Because that would be very stupid, we are still guests here and would take decades to fit in!" Her father has a different point of view indeed, but in the midst of all this he is just trying to protect his daughter.

"I didn't get in trouble, I healed the Electus. I guess I discovered my powers today, it kinda just happened." Ladia explained as calmly as she could, here she is practically being yelled at because she helped someone.

"Mister Litwak." King Michael spoke, grabbing his attention and trying to explain some fundamental facts. "It is obvious that you all as a family are misinformed. But I think the concept is simple, healers don't really need training to avoid self damage like Ignites have too. What she attained as a Level 1 Healer is in some terms random, but it can help Gaster Kingdom more than you think."

As King Michael explained, the Healers are indeed interesting. They don't need to be paranoid about blowing their own fingers off like Ignites in training, and in no way could they hurt someone else with their powers.

Her instinct when she tried to heal Eric's wound shows her origin as a Zamerian, as if fate has called her here, she will be very useful to helping Gaster Kingdom progress, although she has a lot to learn and most likely can't heal big wounds like an arrow shot yet.

"Mister Litwak, we can consider your daughter as a Guardian Angel. I'm going to get it straight with you here, with her help we can have a millitary advantage even though she will fight behind the walls, fight as a hidden hero, she will never be in battle." King Michael might be stretching his sentences here a little bit, both Ladia's parents don't speak the Ignite language. They have only been here for roughly 3 months.

"My daughter in the Army?" Ladia's mother asked, not liking this idea because she barely understood everything else that King Michael said.

"Not exactly, she won't be in the battlefield. She won't have to fight anyone." King Michael explained, putting out a Dagger on the table, tapping it and waving his forefinger signifying that she won't touch a Dagger.

Seeing that her parents are listening, he used the silence to explain his thoughts a bit more. "I want her to get in to training tommorow, she will train her powers 3 hours a day for now and gradually work it up. If you know anyone who understands how these powers work, please ask them for as much information as possible." King Michael began to be lost in his own words, explaining a bit too much.

"But, she young. I feel she needs time, grow older so she decide." Ladia's mother explained, obviously still refusing for her daughter to be in the military.

"Misses Litwak, rest assured that your daughter would be under my personal protection, she will barely work at this age and I'm willing to offer 200 Gold Coins a month for her, here with this much gold your family can really shape your life together faster than anyone else." Perhaps gold can change their mind, King Michael thinks. Accompanied by the absolute guarantee of safety.

"She will be paid?" Her father asked, feeling shocked. Even Zamerian Kings wouldn't pay Healers unless they are Experts or more, because there are more than enough healers there.

"How much?" Ladia asked, dropping her fork and almost choking on a piece of steamed Barramundi meat.

"200, and it will increase by a hundred every time you Level up. Meaning if you reach Level 6, if you become a Grand Master, you will earn 700 Gold Coins in a month. That's more than anyone else earns here, but if its not enough I am willing to increase the pay for a Healer." The deal here he is offering is indeed big, and one would find it hard to believe considering the different ethnicities and origins.

"My daughter can earn 700 Gold Coins?" Her father asked in shock, finding the King's words hard to believe.

"Well not instantly, but she will earn 200 Gold Coins now when she won't be doing much. We need her, for the sake of the Ignites. For the sake of helping wounded Soldiers, to give them another chance of life if they fall in a bad dilemma." King Michael tried to explain as slowly and as clearly as he could, considering that this family barely knows the Ignite language.

Earning this many Gold Coins here where one of the best salaries is 150 Gold Coins, it is a huge advantage. Because if she reaches Level 2 for example, she will not bring one but two salaries in her home. Furthermore, if she actually earns 700 one day, it would be a huge salary. And the only person to top her would be Alama the investor.

"Okay, if Ladia agrees, I allow. This is big gold, she should never skip this opportunity." Ladia's father spoke as clearly as he could, but regardless it is obvious that he is agreeing to these conditions.

Having a strong attitude, Ladia didn't feel shy to answer. "I definitely will work, for gold and for Gaster Kingdom!"

King Michael liked this attitude, although at the same time he found it just a little bit annoying. But he wanted to repeat some points now, "You will start tomorrow, please come at mid day. And please try to gather up as much information as possible about learning your healing powers, we are pretty much clueless."
