If he recognized me, it could disrupt the plan.
There was a chance he might suspect something if the Duchess’s wife acted suspiciously in such a remote border area.
“You… You’re the blacksmith’s daughter, right?”
I reflexively nodded my head. At that, the soldier chuckled and flicked his hand.
“The blacksmith said he wouldn’t even show his daughter in death, but there was a reason for it. She’s more than I imagined. She’s the most beautiful girl in the village, so it caused quite a stir.”
Fortunately, he was just surprised at my appearance. I let out a sigh of relief inwardly.
“But it seems like you’re having trouble with one of your legs, are you okay?”
“You’re kind too. When did you notice my gait?”
“Did you get hurt badly?”
The soldier sat on a crude wooden box and rolled up his pants. Blood oozed and dripped from a long wound on his calf.
“Got scratched by an orc’s sharp claws. A tough guy like me, a scratch like this will heal as soon as I spit on it.”
But the wound seemed rather deep.
“Do you have any medicine?”
“That’s for weak races like you. Kursians don’t need medicine.”
The soldier blurted out.
But he wouldn’t know.
That’s the reason for Kursia’s downfall.
There are numerous temples within Kursia.
In the history of Kursia, known as the homeland of the gods, there has always been a god.
Therefore, they heavily depended on the divine power of the Saint and the clergy who received divine power.
If they were sick, they could just go to a nearby temple and get treated.
The more they depended, the more the development of medicine stagnated. They didn’t need the progress of medicine.
‘But what if there is no more divine power?’
There’s nothing to treat them.
Like now, if there’s no temple nearby, they had to endure the pain.
“I’ll apply the medicine for you.”
I decided to sell herbs to them. If I had to give Kursians a fortune to get out of my fiefdom, the money had to come from their pockets.
“It’s okay.”
“Sigh. It hurts, right? With this wound, you won’t be able to wash for days or walk properly. Besides, you said orc’s blood is toxic. If the poison gets into the wound, your leg might rot.”
Finally, the soldier closed his mouth.
I opened the basket and took out herbs that had healing and detoxifying effects.
“You can treat wounds with mere grass?”
The soldier who saw this snorted.
“It’s not grass, it’s herbs.”
“If you go to the temple, a wound like this will heal in a few seconds.”
“So, can you go to the temple?”
“Hmm.”
After applying the herbs carefully on the long wound, I wrapped the wound area with clean cloth. Then I handed him the pain potion I had prepared in advance.
“Drink it all.”
The soldier looked at the bottle containing the brown potion with a strange eye.
“Is it poison?”
“Do you think I would kill you with poison after treating the wound?”
“The color is strange……”
To ease the doubtful soldier, I opened the medicine bottle myself.
“Think of it as something good for your body and gulp it down.”
In the end, he poured the medicine in one gulp and choked.
“What kind of water is this bitter!”
“Potion. Medicine is supposed to be bitter.”
“Are Reqiuessians mad? Believing they can heal by drinking such a thing?”
The soldier wandered around the barracks like a child encountering medicine for the first time, making a fuss.
Looking at him prancing around and telling the other soldiers, it seemed the potion had absorbed.
“It seems you’re not in pain. You’re walking around well.”
“Not in pain…… huh?”
Only then did the soldier realize his condition and move his leg around. The pain disappeared in an instant, and he seemed visibly bewildered.
“Did you put divine power in this?”
“In Reqiuess, divine power is so rare that even the royal family has a hard time receiving it.”
“Did the pain really stop with just grass and muddy water?”
The soldier asked, full of doubt.
“All I did was apply the herbs.”
“But…… the wound hasn’t healed yet.”
Blood seeped through the cloth wrapped around the wound.
“It would take at least a week for the wounds to heal. I’ll prepare some medicinal herbs for you. Change the clean cloth once a day and apply the herbs.”
“A week? That’s all it takes?”
“Yes. You’ll recover faster if you drink this potion.”
Once I said it was muddy water, the soldier carefully tucked the potion I handed him deep into his bosom.
For them, medicine was like a new world.
There were many temples in Cursia, but it was hard to find a pharmacy.
The temples would fall in the near future.
The divine power, Pater, which was supplied from the wells of the temples, would no longer be supplied, thus cutting off.
It would become impossible to heal with divine power, and countless diseases began to spread throughout the Cursia Empire, except for the existing Ophil Kingdom. A third of the imperial citizens would die.
Witnessing people’s death in front of them, they brutally invaded the neighboring countries and began to loot medicine.
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
