The Herb King

48 Exchange

Julius Reynolds' eyes widened as he stared at the festering injury on his right leg that was healing at a visible rate. He could hardly believe the scene happening right in front of him. It was magical!

There was actually a pill capable of healing even the most fearsome of wounds!

Lord Harold and Madam Antonette exclaimed in shock. Their mouths were agape with dumbstruck expressions on their faces.

Even Samira who was confident about Leric's skill was stunned by this spectacle.

No one has seen or heard about a pill capable of healing an injury deemed impossible to cure!

Leric nodded his head, satisfied by the effect of the Recovery Pellet. It was merely a 3rd-Grade Pill, but it was highly effective for treating deep festering wounds.

Not long after, Julius Reynolds could no longer feel any pain in his right leg. There was only a tingling sensation, but it felt very comforting to him. He then tried to sit up straight and he found out that he could now freely control the world essence in his body again!

Other than Leric, everyone was surprised when they saw Julius Reynolds sitting on his bed. There wasn't even a look of pain on his face, a clear indication that he was feeling great!

"Sir Aethelwolf, the pill you gave me… What kind of pill is it?" Julius Reynolds asked in a trembling voice.

"Oh, you mean the Recovery Pellet? It's just a simple pill for treating sword wounds." Leric replied with a smile.

"Recovery Pellet?" Julius Reynolds almost choked when he heard the name of the pill. It was so generic that he almost thought that absurd. If not for Leric's straight face, he would have believed that the guy was messing with him.

"That's right. It's just a random creation of mine. Nothing worth mentioning." Leric waved his hand humbly. His words made everyone inside the room feel at loss for words.

"This… Sir Aethelwolf, do you still have a piece of Recovery Pellet?" Julius Reynolds thought about Johann who was suffering from a terminal illness. 'Maybe the Recovery Pellet could also cure him.'

"It's not that difficult to make. In fact, I have four more with me." Leric answered as he revealed four bluish-green pills on top of his palm.

Julius Reynolds stared at the pills with yearning.

"Sir Aethelwolf, can we buy those pills from you? You can ask for anything in return. As long as it is within the power of our Reynolds Household, we will provide it to you. What do you think?" He nervously waited for Leric's response. If he could get the four pills, he can give one to Johann and keep the remaining three for the Reynolds Household. The Recovery Pellet could potentially save the lives of those who are gravely injured! It was very precious!

Leric's eyes flashed for an instant. He already expected this kind of response from him. The Recovery Pellet was valuable to the Reynolds Household since they are a military family. Most of their family members are part of the army and there might come a time when they would need the Recovery Pellet.

"Sir Julius, since you really want the pill, I can give them all to you. I only want a small piece of land in your territory where I can construct my clinic. It has been a long-time wish of mine to establish one, but I've been too busy wandering in the wilderness in my youth that I didn't manage to find time for it." Leric stated what he wanted. He was already thinking about this since the moment he journeyed with Samira.

He had no lofty aspirations or wild ambitions. He merely wanted to live a peaceful life and enjoy every moment. For that to be possible, he had to make a name for himself and establish a firm footing in the empire.

Building a clinic that offers treatment and precious medicine would make him famous in the empire. He would then enjoy a life of luxury that he never once had.

"A clinic in our territory?" Julius Reynolds glanced at Leric and saw that the man was serious. That was it? He thought that Leric would ask them for an extravagant sum or even a precious treasure. Who would have thought that he was actually willing to part with four Recovery Pellets for just a small plot of land?

"Father, the northern portion of our territory has a weapon shop that is about to go bankrupt. It is in the heart of Lion City so if Sir Aethelwolf truly wants to build a clinic, we can give him the title for that plot of land. It is a very ideal location to build a clinic." Madam Antonette who was responsible for managing their territory suggested.

"That's right! We can also help Sir Aethelwolf build his clinic. I have a friend from a merchant family that offers construction services. They should be able to create a great clinic for Sir Aethelwolf." Lord Harold added.

After hearing their words, Julius Reynolds glanced at Leric and said. "Do you agree with this, Sir Aethelwolf? We can offer the plot of that weapon shop to you and also help you in constructing your clinic. We will handle all the tedious process so that you can just wait and relax."

Leric nodded his head without hesitation. The Recovery Pellets weren't of use to him. This exchange would also strengthen his friendship with the Reynolds Household, providing a strong backing for him!

"Sure. No problem!" Leric shook Julius' hand and sealed the deal.

"Antonette, I'll leave the documentation to you. Harold, tell your friend to prepare the best materials for Sir Aethelwolf's clinic. You two go!" Julius Reynolds was excited after receiving the four pills from Leric.

Madam Antonette and Lord Harold were also happy that the pillar of the Reynolds Household was now back on his feet. They immediately left the room after bidding farewell to Leric.

After the couple left the room, Leric stared at Julius and said. "Sir Julius, although your wound has already healed, you need to rest for about a week. That should be enough for you to completely recover. If you feel that there is any issue, you can tell me any time."

Julius nodded his head. "I will follow your instructions, Sir Aethelwolf. Thank you very much!" He replied with a grateful look. He then stared at his granddaughter and said. "Samira, take Sir Aethelwolf to his room."

Samira nodded her head. "Yes, grandpa."

"Sir Aethelwolf, please follow me."

Leric could no longer decline them since they didn't even give a room for him to reject their offer. He silently followed Samira as she brought him to the guest room.
