Chapter 184: Chapter 182: Hilia’s Healing Is Amazing Too

"Master Shark, the master whale from headquarters has sent a message from the president. He has prayed to the gods and obtained the clue of the divine gift from Roster."

Star Spirit Forbidden Land, Deep Sea Mutual Aid Association base.

Outside.

A subordinate in a deep blue robe respectfully handed over a secret message to the person in front of them, who also wore a blue robe adorned with shark patterns.

The person referred to as Shark took the secret message and injected it with polluted magic power.

Moments later, the message turned to ashes and disappeared.

He nodded, his voice as cold as the ice of the Land of the Far North: "I have already locked onto the position of the one who stole the divine gift. How many people do we have left?"

"Only five sardines are still alive; the rest are buried underground," the subordinate said in a low voice.

Shark clenched his fist, and the horrific aura blew away the fallen leaves around, forcing the subordinate beside him to kneel down, unable to lift his head.

"M-Master Shark..."

Shark took a deep breath and retracted his aura: "I understand, call everyone together, let’s go directly."

There were a total of seven people, apart from Shark in the lead; the rest were all injured, looking rather unsteady.

Shark frowned, "In your current state, you can’t fight. I’ll take you to the Divine Hall for treatment first, then we’ll go find that damned person."

The subordinate said, "There are two Divine Halls closest to here. One offers free treatment, called Star Dust Divine Hall. Shall we go there? The other charges 20 Silver Coins per person."

"Go to the free one."

...

Hilia successfully returned to Star Dust Divine Hall, and it was already three or four in the afternoon.

Upon entering, she saw Vanessa treating the townsfolk.

"Mama Vanessa, I’m back."

Vanessa looked up and smiled, "Glad you’re back. You’ve worked hard. Later, let Mili prepare dinner for you."

Mili is the name of the female assistant priest.

Hilia nodded, seeing the long line for consultations, she couldn’t help but say, "Let me help you!"

Vanessa shook her head, stopping Hilia, "You’re all covered in leaves and grass. Go take a bath first."

"Oh, okay."

Hilia quickly washed up and changed into her assistant priest’s clothes, which she wore when assisting Vanessa in the Divine Hall previously.

"Even if Mama Vanessa doesn’t let me help, I still want to assist, there’s so many people!"

Hilia picked up a table and chair from the side and sat next to Vanessa, patting the table, "Anyone in line can come over here!"

The others looked at Hilia but didn’t move.

Some recognized Hilia but weren’t sure if she knew Healing Skill.

Here, Vanessa was akin to an expert in treatment, while Hilia was more like an intern; they were a bit apprehensive.

Hilia then said, "Don’t worry, I can treat all external injuries, whether scratches, bruises, or cuts, as long as it doesn’t involve internal organs or special causes. Feel free to come."

Vanessa smiled, "Hilia is now a top student at Divine Magic Academy, her Healing Skill is even better than mine."

Everyone exchanged glances.

A moment later, some decided to step out of the long line and approached Hilia.

The first to come was a middle-aged man with a cane, limping, who politely asked, "Miss Hilia, I injured my leg while hunting, can you treat it?"

Hilia looked at it and nodded, "Yes, but you can’t be treated sitting like this, lie down on the bed over there."

"Alright!"

The hunter happily went to lie down, setting aside his cane.

Vanessa looked over in surprise.

She seemed to want to say something but eventually didn’t.

She was also anticipating Hilia creating miracles.

After the hunter lay down, Hilia first released the Mage’s Hand, turning into an invisible state, penetrating his skin and entering the bone.

After carefully sensing, she said, "Next, I will start the treatment. You can take a nap; when you wake up, your leg will be healed."

Holy Word: Persuasion.

Under the magic power of Holy Word: Persuasion, the hunter slowly closed his eyes. Hilia then used Water of Stagnation combined with Frost Freeze to freeze his knee, temporarily blocking his leg nerve, and then began to set his bones using Mage’s Hand.

A faint white light emerged from Hilia, continuously healing the corrected injury while Mage’s Hand set the bones.

Ten minutes later, she withdrew her hand and wiped the sweat off her forehead.

"Wake up!"

A light call, and the hunter opened his eyes.

"Is the treatment over?" he asked.

Hilia nodded.

Happy, the hunter sat up and grabbed his cane to get up, suddenly pausing.

He placed the injured foot on the floor, realizing there was no stinging pain.

He couldn’t help but want to jump but was held back by Hilia.

"You’ve just healed; don’t do intense activities. You can walk now, but it’s best to rest for two or three days before trying to climb stairs or jump."

"Two or three days?"

The hunter was shocked.

"Vanessa, the chief priest, once said it would take at least 10 treatments, about a year, to heal my leg, but now in just the second treatment, you... you’ve cured it?!"

"Huh?"

Hilia blinked and looked at Vanessa.

Vanessa nodded, chuckling softly, "Yes, his situation was quite severe, with fractured bones. Even with Healing Skill, it needs to be corrected over time. I couldn’t resolve it in one go. Hilia is really amazing, solving it in just one session."

"Uh, I..."

Hilia felt she might have done too much, embarrassed she said, "I thought everyone was like this, healing would make it better immediately."

Her understanding of treatment wasn’t deep; she only knew basic Healing Skill. The rest of her experience was from chats with Phil.

During that preparation month, Phil often treated mercenaries, and she would go watch her treatment during leisure time and chat with her as well.

She lacked Phil’s experience but had Mage’s Hand. Combining it with the treatment experience learned from Phil, it led to a god-like bone-healing procedure.

The hunter exclaimed on the spot, "Miss Hilia is like the return of the gods! So incredible! If Miss Hilia can become the chief priest of Star Ash Town, we will fully support her!"

Vanessa and Hilia didn’t refute, just smiled.

Hilia continued to sit at the table.

Quickly, a long queue formed in front of her.

At least more than half of the people ran over to her to line up.

After all, with the skills she showed, even Vanessa acknowledged she was more adept. People who trusted Vanessa’s healing abilities naturally believed Hilia could cure them too.

However, Hilia could only treat external wounds or instances of contamination, and some accidental internal injuries.

For illnesses caused by viruses like fever, coughing, etc., she was helpless.

With these patients, she emphasized her strengths, then passed them to Vanessa.

Thanks to their cooperation, all patients were quickly tended to.

As evening approached six o’clock.

Just as the two were preparing to conclude the day’s treatment, seven uninvited guests suddenly barged in.

"Priests, please help us with treatment. We’ve encountered terrible demons in the wild, everyone’s injured, we need urgent help."

Vanessa, who was about to leave, sat down again, "Come over."

Hilia looked at the seven who entered, her brow furrowing suddenly.

"No, these people are concealing strong contamination."

Their clothing was quite normal, just typical hunter attire, seemingly mountain hunters.

In the midst of her suspicion, one of them met Hilia’s gaze, momentarily stunned, and then revealed fierce killing intent.

"The scent of the divine gift... it’s you!"
