Why Am I a Priestess When I Reach the Maximum Lev…
Vol. 2 Ch. 7 Table of contents

Originally, Isaac thought that Violet was some important figure from the Angel City, the divine capital. After all, she displayed such incredible healing abilities. In the eyes of the Bishop, only those who were closer to the Goddess, the divine envoys with six wings or more, could easily save those afflicted by the 【Dragon’s Blood Disease】.

 

But Violet didn’t wear the divine emblem and holy seal, and her actions didn’t show any belief in the Goddess. Such a situation was impossible for the high echelons of the Temple.

 

Isaac, as the Bishop of Flame Dragon City, wasn’t a half-baked adventurer like Lester, who knew little about these matters. Naturally, he wouldn’t mistake the young woman for a saint or anything of the sort.

 

So the Bishop was quite curious about who this suddenly appearing black-haired girl was. She clearly wasn’t a priestess, yet she could use healing magic beyond his own abilities.

 

It’s not that the limits of 【Faith-Based Magic】 and the power of the Goddess exist. It’s just that my own cultivation is still insufficient. Please forgive my doubt, Lady Goddess…

 

With these thoughts, the devout Bishop once again offered silent repentance in his heart.

 

“We’ll be relying on you today as well, Miss Violet.”

 

“Yeah, no big deal.”

 

The three of them entered the medical clinic once again. The priestess, looking at the group of people next to her starting to put on protective suits, casually declined the one that Isaac handed to her. Come on, those things were awkward to put on, and she didn’t want to try it again, especially after showcasing her ability to easily cure the 【Dragon’s Blood Disease】. She believed that Lady Anastasia wouldn’t be fixated on the safety issue after seeing that.

 

Moreover, Violet currently had some doubts about the disease’s transmission rate. The 【Dragon’s Blood Disease】might not necessarily infect everyone. Anastasia’s insistence on having everyone wear protective gear was actually meant to cover up a certain fact – one that Violet hadn’t discovered yet.

 

The priestess had a premonition that if she could find the “anomaly” that distinguished those who might contract the 【Dragon’s Blood Disease】, the truth would not be far from revelation.

 

One by one, 【Dragon’s Blood Disease】 patients were brought before Violet. Under her healing magic, they regained their health, and she also systematically collected information about the health of the Flame Dragon City residents, consolidating useful data.

 

She found that the stronger and healthier a person was, the milder their symptoms were if they contracted the 【Dragon’s Blood Disease】. Most of these patients were ordinary people with levels below Lv. 5, and the few with higher levels were said to have had close contact with the infected on multiple occasions.

 

The stronger the physical fitness, the lighter the rejection reactions, right…

 

So, assuming the body is even stronger, strong enough to withstand the transformation of 【Dragon’s Blood】, is it really possible to evolve into a new individual?

 

That’s right, it’s evolution. Although Lady Anastasia, or the United Kingdom, cannot accept the idea of humans turning into different species, in Violet’s view, half-dragon people have gone further in terms of species.

 

If having equal or greater intelligence, superior physical strength, recovery ability, and combat talent doesn’t qualify as evolution, then what is?

 

Moreover, after extensive data selection and seemingly casual inquiries, Violet discovered another valuable piece of information.

 

All 【Dragon’s Blood Disease】 patients are natives of Flame Dragon City and have lived here for generations.

 

This is quite interesting.

 

If these people have grown up because they consumed crops that grew in the land irrigated with the blood of the Red Dragon inside Flame Dragon City, why don’t the people who came from elsewhere and ate the same food get affected?

 

On the other hand, if it’s a genetic issue, why haven’t similar symptoms appeared in the past for such a long time?

 

It’s certain that something must have happened during this time, some trigger that caused 【Dragon’s Blood Disease】 to emerge, and Lady Anastasia definitely knows about it.

 

However, despite this, judging from Lady Anastasia’s behavior last night, she will definitely not speak easily.

 

Does Bishop Isaac know something?

 

Doesn’t seem like it… He gives off the impression of being a helper brought in after the incident, not directly involved in this series of events.

 

Well, since Anastasia doesn’t want to talk, Violet doesn’t want to force the issue. She has her own means of investigation.

 

Moreover, this matter has already made some progress, and they’re only missing the final key piece of unknown information.

 

“Sigh… Is this the last one?”

 

Miss Priestess withdrew her hand from the child, who appeared to be around seven or eight years old, now peacefully asleep. The treatment was finished.

 

For Violet, treating a patient only took a few minutes, with most of that time spent on assessing the situation. The actual treatment only took a few seconds.

 

In reality, the treatment method was quite simple. The root cause of 【Dragon’s Blood Disease】 was the presence of a bloodline that didn’t belong to humans, causing turmoil. By suppressing it and then repairing the body’s injuries, the problem could be easily resolved.

 

In this high-speed situation, the hundreds of 【Dragon’s Blood Disease】 patients that Anastasia had originally expected to take several days to treat in batches had all recovered before sunset.

 

Bishop Isaac, who had been watching from beginning to end, was somewhat dumbfounded.

 

“Miss Violet… do you not need to expend magic power for your treatments? The feeling is, at the very least, on the level of a third-tier spell, and you’ve cast it hundreds of times without interruption. Even legendary figures would find it difficult to keep up. Oh, I apologize, I’m not prying into your secrets…”

 

The Priestess didn’t mind and chuckled.

 

“Well, how could I not use magic power? It’s just that I have a bit more magic power than the average person, and my recovery rate is a bit faster, that’s all. It’s that simple, Your Grace. You’re overthinking it.”

 

“Now that all the patients have recovered, it’s considered a job well done. If there are no issues, I’ll stay for a couple more days and then prepare to leave… Hmm, there shouldn’t be any other challenging cases that can’t be resolved, right?”

 

When she mentioned the words “challenging cases,” Violet deliberately slowed her speech and cast a discreet glance at Miss Anastasia.

 

“That’s all there is. This time… we truly owe it to Miss Violet. I will personally visit you with a reward tomorrow, and you are welcome to stay in the city as long as you like. The Flame Dragon City will forever remember this kindness.”

 

A diplomatic response.

 

The beautiful woman maintained a composed and steady smile on her face, showing no signs of anything unusual, which left Violet slightly disappointed.

 

Should she keep the secret to the end?

 

Well, it was better to not have high expectations from the beginning.

 

Violet could understand. After all, in the eyes of the city’s lord, she was just a stranger they had known for less than two days. Even if she had healed many patients, it wasn’t enough to earn complete trust from a well-guarded noble count.

 

So, she would uncover the city’s hidden secrets in her own way. Violet had a plan.

 

Saying farewell to Anastasia and Bishop Isaac, Miss Priestess headed towards a certain place in Flame Dragon City as the day was not yet dark.

 

The Adventurer’s Guild.

 

“Heh, when it comes to a different world, it’s definitely a must-visit place like this!”

 

Violet stood on the street in front of the towering three-story building, her silver-blue pupils radiating with excitement.

 

Though she had already encountered the highest level, even a legendary adventurer like Scarlet Flame Flora, and had worked with her for a considerable time, becoming an adventurer herself was a completely different experience.

 

As a former inhabitant of the Earth, Violet naturally had a strong desire for adventure, or else she wouldn’t have been so obsessed with the open-world RPG game, 【Illusory World】.

 

“Is there a specific purpose for the master to become an adventurer?” asked a certain dragon lady who was following Violet, curious. In her view, her master’s behavior should be utterly meaningless.

 

“Wrong! It’s not me becoming an adventurer, it’s both of us! Come on!”

 

“Huh?!”

 

And so, the dragon lady, looking rather baffled, was dragged by her master through the doors of the Adventurer’s Guild.
