Chapter 100 Danger
After thinking for a while, Vincent finally made his decision.
"Alfred, get inside my carriage… I might be able to help you." Vincent said as he thought of curing her using a +9 healing potion. Though he wasn't sure if it was going to be effective, it was better to try than leave this child suffering.
Although he doesn't have a +9 potion yet, he still has several +5 healing potions and a day or two should be more than enough to make a few +9 potions.
Furthermore, Vincent already noticed the treasure that they are willing to use to pay for the price of healing Dennise.
Vincent recognizes this treasure after working for a month within the Guardian Auction House, it is a box filled with Spirit Stones!
Based on the fluctuation that he could feel, it must've been at a mid-grade level!
Currently, Vincent has 10 low-grade spirit stones that he purchased from Therese. They are considered Ascension Crystals by his system and he's currently saving them and was only planning to use them in urgent matters.
After all, he can still substitute his Mana during his Ascension attempts. More than that, he still has 1 Ascension Card in his inventory that he can use.
At the moment, the low-tier Spirit Stones that he has can also be used as emergency money since they can be easily converted into one.
'Right… Maybe I can already try ascending the Primal Sword once I get these…' Vincent mused as he recalled that the Arcane-Forged Primal Sword he received from Elder Han was only enhanced up to +5.
Once he has more Spirit Stones, he would worry a lot less if he uses them during his Ascension attempts.
Apparently, he hasn't tried ascending the sword yet since he was busy using his Mana in enhancing potions for Tara and Rem.
'There should be about a dozen mid-grade Spirit Crystals inside. I wonder what other uses they can provide to the Divine Doctor…' Vincent mused.
If he has these Spirit Stones, he no longer has to wait for 300 units of mana just for a single ascension. However, he's unsure what use would it be for the Divine Doctor if he gets it. Why are they offering it to him in the first place?
"S-sir Vincent, do you really have a way to help us?" Alfred asked. He was obviously agitated since he found Vincent very young and shouldn't be knowledgeable about disease and medicines yet.
It was understandable.
However, Vincent didn't answer and only gave them a reassuring smile as he gestured for them to get inside the carriage.
The Divine Doctor and Elder Han saw his actions but didn't stop him. They probably thought that Vincent would try to create a chance for them to be treated by the Divine Doctor while traveling,
Soon, their group started moving out of Canthus City.

Within Count Magnus' Castle, a soldier arrived and saluted the group of people gathered around a table.
These people were important figures within the city, they are Count Magnus, Baron Leo, and Baron Eldo who were all influential nobles in this region.
"We have confirmed that the group has already left the city and they indeed brought the Divine Doctor with them. We have already sent a group to intercept them at Myriad Pass."
The soldier reported as he waited for the Count's instruction…
"The Divine Doctor?" Baron Leo frowned after hearing this.
Obviously, he already reported about the White Tiger Cub's existence to the Count. He knows that this matter couldn't be handled by himself anymore especially after Elder Han brought up the Hailstorm General.
"It doesn't matter… Just make sure that none of them will be recognized as soldiers…" Count Magnus said.
"Yes… The 50 knights have dressed as members of the Twelve Slasher Gang… There shouldn't be a problem even if one or two managed to escape from Sword Sect.."
"Good… If the Divine Doctor decided to interfere, just kill him as well." Magnus ruthlessly commanded.
He appears to be a man in his forties and has a large frame. He exudes a noble and fiery aura as if he was always ready to be in battle.
Although he barely has any talent as a Mana Arts Practitioner, he has practiced many martial arts and trained his body to the peak. He can activate a few Magic Tools to protect himself and owns many Magic Weapons to make him a decent warrior.
Right now, however, his face is full of greed as he was already imagining what he will do once he acquired the White Tiger Cub. He can either sell it for a high price or gift it to a higher noble to increase his influence.
Many may not know but a Count like him knows how valuable the White Tiger Magic Beast is.
"Count Magnus, is it true that the White Tiger Cub can be used to enhance the power of a Master Magician?" Baron Leo asked. To be honest, he was only targeting the White Tiger for its fur and fangs which were extremely valuable.
However, as soon as he reported this to the Count, the latter informed him that it could actually help a magician to master the Lightning Element!
One of the hardest elements to be converted from mana was lightning. There weren't many Master Magicians who were capable of wielding it even after they have become Adept or even Archmage.
The easiest to be converted to mana was water and wind element which weren't that great in battle. If news of this secret method leaked out, there would surely be a lot of people hunting for the White Tiger!
"Hmph! It's true… That's why we can't fail here. Baron Leo. Baron Eldo… I need both of you to 'save' their caravan after being attacked by the Twelve Slasher Gang. Make sure that you take care of them and come back here." Count Magnus revealed a wicked grin after saying this.
Baron Eldo, a previous knight who became a noble thanks to Count Magnus conferring him a title, stood up and reassured the Count.
"Do not worry, Count… I will be leading my knights to 'rescue' them." Baron Eldo gave a vicious smile as he immediately left the castle with Baron Leo.
