Bishop Isaac was a man of swift action. After the discussion, he immediately brought Violet and the others to the outermost area where the patients lay in their beds.

 

“This person was just brought in this morning. Although the spread of the blisters isn’t too severe, due to the old age and weakened physical condition, without effective treatment, it’s going to be difficult for them to make it through the day.”

 

Elderly patients are often the most challenging cases for physicians because they generally have weaker physical strength and may carry various underlying illnesses or complications.

 

Isaac began with a high-difficulty case, which was evidently a test for Violet, bordering on being harsh.

 

However, Miss Priestess paid no attention to this and kept her gaze fixed on the patient, her pupils slightly constricting.

 

“Why is it her…?”

 

The patient before her, with dark red blotches on the skin, labored breathing, and constantly coughing up blood weakly, wasn’t this the same old lady who had chatted with her and even sold her that small dragon pendant not long ago?

 

She had been perfectly fine then. They had parted ways less than an hour ago, so how had she suddenly turned into this?

 

When Violet had interacted with her earlier, she hadn’t noticed anything unusual about the woman’s health. Overall, she appeared to be in good health. Although she hadn’t paid close attention at the time, as a level 110 priest, she shouldn’t have missed any signs if there were any issues.

 

In this situation, there were two possibilities.

 

Either the 【Dragon’s Blood Disease】 was an extremely insidious, highly latent ailment that even a strong individual like Violet couldn’t perceive before it truly manifested.

 

The other assumption was that the old lady’s illness had developed after parting ways with Violet and the others.

 

If it’s the first scenario… a disease that not even a level 110 player specializing in healing can detect, then it would make sense for the city’s doctors to be powerless.

 

But was that possible?

 

While Violet never considered herself an all-powerful deity, when it came to healing, she was not willing to admit defeat and didn’t believe there could be an illness she couldn’t detect.

 

But if the first assumption wasn’t true, then who had recently transmitted the 【Dragon’s Blood Disease】 to the old lady? And why did it happen right in the short time span when she had separated from Violet and the others?

 

With various doubts in her mind, Violet touched her fingertips to the dark red blotch on the old woman’s arm, her skin dry and withered.

 

“【Information Detection】”

 

A pale golden ripple emanated from her, circulating around the old woman’s emaciated body, and then returned to Violet’s hand.

 

“……….”

 

Bishop Isaac and Anastasia exchanged glances, watching nervously from the side, not daring to disrupt the black-haired girl’s diagnosis.

 

After retrieving the information she had probed, Violet furrowed her brow thoughtfully, but she didn’t say much. Instead, she continued to raise her hand.

 

“Dispel.”

 

“Calm Spell.”

 

“Swift Recovery.”

 

Three skills with different effects instantly blossomed, and the white, blue, and golden points of light intertwined like a rainbow, slowly pouring out from Violet’s palm and shining on the elderly Amanda. They gradually merged into her.

 

Miss Priestess’s healing was undoubtedly extremely effective.

 

The ominous dark red blotches that had appeared on the old woman’s skin rapidly faded away as if erased by an eraser. The painful expression on the elderly woman’s face gradually eased, her breathing returned to a steady pace, and color returned to her face. She appeared to be peacefully asleep.

 

“I can’t believe it…!”

 

Bishop Isaac was so excited that he almost couldn’t control his emotions. He never expected that the young girl brought by Lady Anastasia would effortlessly solve the Dragon’s Blood Disease that had plagued them for over half a month.

 

To be honest, continuously witnessing people die from this mysterious disease while feeling powerless as a priest had been very distressing for Isaac.

 

If it weren’t for the relatively low number of current patients and the effective control of the disease’s spread, he would have sought help from higher authorities long ago, rather than waiting for Lady Anastasia to slowly post notices and recruit doctors to solve the problem.

 

In fact, he had already prepared the letters to be sent to the Holy City this morning before this unexpected turn of events.

 

Who on earth was this Miss Violet?

 

After all, even as a bishop of the temple, Isaac himself could only temporarily suppress the disease using faith magic but couldn’t cure it. Could she have come from the Holy Empire, concealing her identity as a higher-ranking priest?

 

In the end, Isaac couldn’t believe that any mage or doctor could surpass the divine priests of the goddess in terms of healing.

 

After confirming that the old woman’s vital signs had completely stabilized, Violet stood up and let out a sigh of relief.

 

“It’s all fine now. Let her have a good rest, and when she wakes up, she should be back to normal.”

 

“By the Goddess… it’s truly incredible. Please forgive my earlier rudeness. You are indeed a remarkable healer.”

 

Isaac appreciated the priestly prayer ceremony that the girl performed, regardless of his speculation about her identity, this young lady was indeed worthy of his respect.

 

“Miss Violet, she really has…”.

 

Anastasia didn’t have the same sharp eyes as the Bishop, and even now, it was somewhat hard to believe. Although she could guess that Miss Violet must have extraordinary medical skills, she hadn’t imagined that she could effortlessly cure such a terrifying ailment.

 

“Well, it’s not too difficult to cure this disease.”

 

Violet paused for a moment and suddenly revealed some earth-shattering information.

 

In fact, the symptoms on this old man’s body are not caused by viruses or evil spirits, it’s a mutation, a failed mutation.

 

“What does that mean?”

 

Isaac immediately displayed a humble attitude seeking guidance. He still hadn’t fully understood the cause of 【Dragon’s Blood Disease】.

 

Since the appearance of the first patient over half a month ago, the doctors and priests in Flame Dragon City had spared no effort but had only roughly deduced the common symptoms of the disease and temporary methods of suppression.

 

This was only figured out with great difficulty, after many patients worsened and died.

 

Because most patients exhibited two symptoms, “dragon scale-like spots on the surface of the body” and “coughing up blood,” they named it 【Dragon’s Blood Disease】.

 

However, Violet didn’t immediately answer his question.

 

“Now I’m not sure either, it’s just a feeling. After all, there are too few reference cases… Let’s see more patients before saying anything.”

 

Violet expressed this, and Anastasia and Isaac naturally agreed, immediately cooperating with her to investigate and treat more than a dozen of the most severely endangered patients.

 

Among these people, there were elderly individuals, young people, and children, with no clear gender bias. It seemed that Dragon’s Blood Disease indeed infected indiscriminately.

 

Violet always felt… that it wasn’t that simple, but she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

 

After a series of treatments that miraculously restored the health of the dozen or so critically ill patients in a short period, the sun was almost setting.

 

There were hundreds of 【Dragon’s Blood Disease】 patients in the clinic, and there was no way they could treat them all in one day. Although Vales had the ability to use a high-level magic to cover the entire clinic for collective treatment, it would be too conspicuous, and she knew it would become troublesome.

 

She also wasn’t in a rush to cure all the patients. Violet wanted to further investigate and confirm each patient.

 

After temporarily ending today’s treatment, Bishop Isaac, who seemed much more relaxed, repeatedly thanked and praised Violet before returning to the Flame Dragon City’s temple with his group of priests, leaving behind the necessary emergency personnel.

 

They had an agreement with Violet to continue treatment the next day.

 

As for Lady Anastasia, she went directly to a well-known local hotel with the priestess and her maid, booked the best room, and expressed her desire to host a dinner for the two of them to thank Violet for her actions.

 

Regarding the remuneration for this consultation, she would pay it all together after it was completed.

 

Violet agreed to the dinner invitation. However, she only agreed to go to the dinner with Lady Anastasia and suggested preparing a quiet room.

 

Anastasia immediately nodded, seemingly understanding the priestess’s intention.

 

Food in this otherworldly realm was quite different from Earth, and although Violet didn’t have a strong appetite, she enjoyed the local specialties of Flame Dragon City, which included various spicy dishes, precious meat infused with flame attribute magic, and refreshing soups. So she ate a bit more.

 

After a few rounds of drinks, Violet felt that the timing was right and decided to test the city lord’s knowledge to see how much she knew.

 

“Miss Anastasia, do you still remember when I mentioned during the day that 【Dragon’s Blood Disease】 is essentially a mutation?”

 

The elegant lady set down her wine glass and smiled warmly.

 

“Of course, I’ve been thinking about that all day, but Miss Violet never brought it up, and I didn’t want to pry. Do you have any discoveries?”

 

Violet also smiled and didn’t confirm or deny. Instead, she chose to respond with a question.

 

“Do you know about the existence of Dragonkin, the descendants of dragons?”
