Chapter 4561: Guild Meeting

I stopped in front of the healing guild’s building.

It is a four-story building and larger than one would expect in a city with around a dozen healers.

It is in the guild district, the city’s most exclusive district. So, different from every other area. It has a perfectly cobbled street, large open spaces, a fountain, and a lot of trees.

"It felt like I was not in the city anymore," said Mira as she looked around with wide eyes.

Commoners are not allowed without a reason. So, it’s not surprising that she had not been here. Most people in the city never have.

"Let’s go," I said and stepped into the Healer’s Guild.

I have come for the meeting and brought Mira with me to register as my apprentice. She doesn’t need it, but it will make things official and provide her with the privileges.

"Welcome to Healers Guild, Healer Ross," greeted the guard. I nodded and walked toward the registration.

"I want to register her as my apprentice," I stated to the green-haired elf receptionist. "Of course, Healer Ross," replied the woman.

"I will need your badge, a drop of blood from your apprentice, along with her details," she stated.

I nodded and gave her my badge, while Mira provided her with the blood and all her information. Within a few minutes, the process is over.

"Welcome to Healers Guild, Apprentice Mira. This is your badge, and this brochure has the list of rules you will follow from now on and privileges that will be afforded to you," stated the receptionist.

The young girl seemed to have barely heard it. As she is staring at the badge with shaking hands.

It took her a while before she came out of it. "I am an apprentice," she said softly. I wanted to say, it’s not a big deal, but it is for the young girl.

So, I nodded and smiled.

"I have a meeting, you can explore around the guild. If you go to the guild’s library, only read these books," I stated and handed her the note.

There are many thousands of books in the library, but only a few among them are readable.

The rest of them are trash.

"Ok," she replied, and I nodded and walked toward the meeting room where most of the healers had already gathered, aside from the leader.

It didn’t take me long to reach it.

The guards guarding the door bowed before opening the door for me. I nodded and stepped inside the room.

"Oh, look, finally showed up," said the plump stone-skinned man. It is the first plump man of the stone skin race I have seen; they are usually thin.

This is not, and its not because of diet. Of all the healers here, he eats the best food.

It is his affliction that he has had since childhood. Looking at his body, he had tried many things to heal that, both himself and by other healers.

It’s quite a complex problem.

Even the Sovereign healers of the island would not be able to deal with it without killing him. There are also methods; it is how he controls his affliction.

Without it, he would have become much bigger.

I can’t imagine how hard his childhood had been. From what I could see, the man had started using the method in his early thirties.

"Healer Urb, everyone," I greeted, before sitting down in one of the two empty seats.

"I heard your clinic is doing well, Healer Ross," said the thin human man beside me. "I have been lucky," I replied with a smile.

"It’s nothing to do with luck. Its people you treat, most of them commoners or weak Primary-I. It’s no challenge in treating them," replied the woman with an ink blue haired.

I didn’t say anything other than smile.

If we compare skills, these people are not even children compared to me. There is an insurmountable difference in skills between us.

If I argue with them, I would be lowering myself, and I do not want to do that.

The only reason I come is that I want to experience different things. If it were me, I would have tinkered with their memories.

It wouldn’t even take me any effort.

She glared at me and opened her mouth when the door opened, and an old man walked inside.

"Guildmaster," Greeted everyone before getting up. "Everybody," he replied and sat down. As he did, he looked at me before turning his eyes to the rest.

"I am glad to see every member present here," he said, once more his eyes darting at me for a moment.

"We are always present for our meeting, Guildmaster. Unlike certain someone," replied the woman. Children, I thought, smiling to myself.

The man didn’t say anything, but his expression turned serious.

"Today’s meeting is not our general weekly meeting," he said, and people sensed there was something, as the room’s atmosphere turned sombre.

"I have just come from meeting the lady, and she had informed us that war between the city of Lakal and Barinheim is certain," he informed, and many healers sucked their breath.

"I thought they had a breakthrough in negotiations?" asked the Healer Urb, hearing that guildmater shook his head.

"The negotiations have failed, and they are now preparing for the war," he informed, and expressions on everyone’s face turned ugly.

"The lady had assured me that she would stop the cities from drafting you into their armies," he stated, and relief flooded into the room.

"Though she had asked me to prepare ourselves to receive the wounded from both sides,"

Hearing that, some people’s expressions changed a little, but not as badly as before. They love their comfortable life; they do not want to work in the army.

Especially in war.

"So, all of you restock your supplies and prepare for the flood of patients that might come to us in a few weeks," he said, and expressions on some faces became calculating.

"Also, don’t try to leave the city. Once you leave, the lady will not be able to guarantee you will not be drafted," he warned, and many shuddered hearing that.
