Chapter 71: Top-Class Healing Magic

Chapter 71: Top-Class Healing Magic

Apart from the adventurer commission, Riezel's group had brought a bunch of stuff to sell during their visit to Dian Cecht Familia.

Within Dian Cecht Familia, they independently developed special items like potions and healing items, creating a demand for drop items that could be used as materials.

Finn handed over some drop items that could be used as medicinal materials to Riezel's group, asking them to sell them off.

Among these items were the wings of Cadmus that Lefiya casually picked up in the cave at Cadmus's Spring.

This was a very precious drop item, not only appearing on super deep floors like the 51st Floor but also dropping from the body of the strong dragon, Cadmus. Just that fact alone was enough to fetch a high price.

Tione and Airmid engaged in a heated debate over the wings, arguing vehemently until they finally settled on a deal for 12 million valis.

"12 million valis..." Riezel marveled.

Selling a single drop item for 12 million valis was truly eye-opening for him. It was already equivalent to the transaction price of quite valuable second-rank special equipment. If they aimed higher, they might even be able to buy his Hermit.

Indeed, everything brought out from the super deep floors was precious, whether it was the spring water from Cadmus's Spring or the drop items from Cadmus, each worth at least 10 million valis or more.

On this journey, Riezel's group alone earned several tens of millions of valis. If they added the money Finn and the other groups earned by exchanging magic stones at the Guild, Loki Familia made at least a few billion valis from this expedition.

A few billion valis!

Riezel, who had worked hard until now, had earned nearly 10 million valis. However, this expedition alone brought in many times more loot than what he earned since he became an adventurer.

However, there was still a significant loss.

Despite seeming like a lot, a few billion valis would probably not make much of a splash in a big familia like Loki Familia. Not to mention that the main weapons of the first-class adventurer members were almost all first-class equipment worth over a billion valis each, even if it was just a little short.

On this expedition, except for a few people, everyone's weapons dissolved due to those worm monsters.

These dissolved weapons meant a loss of several billion valis.

Adding to that was the loss of other items like spare weapons, medicines, and backup items. This expedition was undoubtedly a real blow to Loki Familia.

If they could achieve their goal, successfully reaching unexplored floors of the 59th Floor, they might be able to compensate for the losses.

Unfortunately, due to those worm monsters, Loki Familia, with a massive loss of resources, couldn't continue the expedition. As a result, the highest floor they reached on this expedition was only the 51st Floor, not even reaching the final floor they had reached in the previous expedition.

What's even more infuriating was that the worm monsters causing all this could self-destruct. When they did, they released a massive amount of corrosive acid, dissolving everything around them. Their magic stone and drop items didn't even leave a trace, only causing continuous losses without any gains.

Thanks to this, Loki Familia had a loss of several billion valis in this expedition. Right now, they were just trying to patch up the losses as much as possible.

Fortunately, this was still manageable for Loki Familia, if any other familia faced this kind of loss, they'd probably just straight-up disband on the spot.

Several billion valis, the combined wealth and assets of some big familias probably didn't even come close to this.

Loki Familia not only had to make up for the losses but also had to shell out more to prepare for the next expedition. The whole member had to replace their main weapons, and that needed some serious planning.

Finn, Riveria, and Gareth knew this, so they wanted to wrap up the aftermath of the expedition as soon as possible to discuss the next steps.

"Okay, let's seal the deal at this price."

Tione finally negotiated a deal with Airmid, wearing a satisfied expression.

Ais, Lefiya, Tiona, and Riezel could only watch from the sidelines, unable to get involved in this kind of battlefield.

Seeing the two savvy women finally settling on a price, Riezel took a step forward.

"Miss Airmid." Riezel looked at Airmid with an earnest expression. "Can I ask you to show me your healing magic once?"

His out-of-nowhere request caught everyone off guard.

"What's up, Riezel?" Tiona wondered. "Are you injured or something?"

She thought he wanted Airmid to treat his injuries.

""Magic?""

Ais and Lefiya, on the other hand, caught on and their eyes started to sparkle.

"Well, well..." Tione chuckled after a moment, realizing what he was up to. After all, she had seen his status before and could guess what he aimed.

Only Airmid tilted her head in confusion as she glanced over Riezel's body.

"You don't seem to have any particularly obvious injuries. Is it some hidden illness? If so, we can recommend some really useful items."

Hearing that, Riezel shook his head.

"I don't want healing items."

What he wanted was her magic. He wanted to learn her famous magic, the special magic of Dea Saint, Airmid Teasanare.

In Orario, she was already a legend.

Airmid's magic was top-class healing magic capable of healing wounds, stamina, status ailments, and curses. What made it even more amazing was its sustained effects and ability to heal multiple targets within its range.

She could even selectively choose the effects of the magic when casting it, making it a truly versatile and omnipotent healing magic. With this magic alone, as long as she stood on the battlefield, her party could participate in any battle with almost zero casualties, even against a floor boss.

Therefore, even though she was only a Level 2 third-class adventurer, just about to step into the threshold of high-class adventurers, she was the most valuable talent that any party or even army could desire.

A healer who could support an entire frontline alone.

Furthermore, it was this magic that earned her the alias of 'Dea Saint'.

In Loki Familia, it wasn't like they didn't have healers, but compared to this girl, those healers couldn't even be considered in the same league—it was like comparing heaven and earth.

Riveria, the strongest mage in Orario, once admitted that when it came to healing magic, she was nowhere near Airmid.

This evaluation was no joke.

Out of the nine types of magic that Riveria possessed, three were specifically for recovery and healing. But even if she added up all three, they might not even be a match to the single healing magic of Airmid.

Because of that, Riveria decided not to teach those three healing magic to Riezel and taught him other magic instead. If he could learn Airmid's magic, there was simply no need to bother with Riveria's three healing magic that, when combined, couldn't match up to a single healing magic of Airmid.

Truthfully, Riezel had been eyeing Airmid's magic for quite some time.

Her magic had a considerable presence in the original work, and he knew its specific effects, so he didn't need anyone to explain the magic to him. All he needed was for the user of the magic itself to demonstrate it once in front of him, confirming its existence firsthand with his own eyes.

Of course, Riezel couldn't just tell the truth about this.

If Dian Cecht Familia found out he wanted to learn their most treasured and special magic, would they allow it? After all, he wasn't in the same familia as them; he was an outsider. Within the same familia, they'd be thrilled to have as many top-class healing magic users as possible. However, when it was a different familia, it turned into a competition, a competitive relationship.

If another familia mastered their special magic, what would Dian Cecht Familia do in the future for their business?

They'd probably be racking their brains all day, wondering if there would be a new competitor in the market offering similar services.

"I know when Miss Airmid personally uses your healing magic, the fee must be high..." Riezel said calmly. "I'll pay the full price, so please use your healing magic for me once."

Seeing him seemed so adamant, Airmid was puzzled but didn't ask further questions. Some patients do act like this because, suffering from some hidden illness, they desperately hide their condition.

Maybe this rumored monster rookie also had some hidden illness?

She better not to pry.

After all, it was all about healing service. Using her healing magic for treatment, and then paying up was her usual routine. Her familia provided healing services, so she had no reason to refuse.

"Alright then, let me take care of you." Airmid stepped out from the counter. "Need to head to the treatment room?"

"Nah." Riezel shook his head. "Right here is fine."

"Alright." Airmid didn't insist. "Let's get started then."

With that, she opened her hands and closed her eyes.

"Healing droplets, tears of light, eternal sanctuary."

Her chant echoed in the room as if a saint was offering a song to the gods.

"Compose a medicinal hymn - three hundred, sixty, and five. The melody of the healer's almanac saves all things."

"Come, destruction of evil."

"The burial of wounds, interment of disease."

"Curses be gone in the light of vitality."

"In the name of all that is holy - I heal you."

This was a truly long magic chant.

Under Airmid, a pure white magic circle spun open, causing countless light particles to float out.

"Dia Fratel."

That was the name of the top-class healing magic in the entire Orario, a name even heard outside the city.

Watching the light particles floating toward him, Riezel immediately smiled.
