The Man in the Swamp

"Hey, hey, hey, can someone please help me?"

Upon seeing someone approaching, the middle-aged man waved for help; he was just a step away from sinking completely into the mud and becoming the most miserable Priest to die.

Looking at the middle-aged man who had fallen into the swamp, Li Yan suddenly felt that he looked like someone, but she couldn't quite remember him. After all, who would remember an ordinary middle-aged man?

Your hands are too dirty.

Li Yan glanced at the middle-aged man's hand without any politeness; he had no desire to touch the hand of that middle-aged man that exuded a certain odor.

"This is definitely not the time to care whether other people's hands are dirty or not." The middle-aged man's lips twitched slightly.

"Let's resolve this quickly."

Just as Li Yan was about to use Levitation Magic to pull him up, Frieren extended her staff, whispered a few words, and with a fluctuation of Mana, the middle-aged man who was stuck in the swamp miraculously emerged from the swamp.

Seeing that the middle-aged man was saved, Li Yan ignored him and turned to leave with her back to Fern. Frieren followed closely behind, leaving the middle-aged man alone on the spot wiping the mud off his body. He had almost lost his life just now.

Ten minutes later, Li Yan looked at the small village in the distance and couldn't help but smile. If it weren't for Fern's insistence on experiencing an authentic adventure, he would have used Space Magic to return to the Royal Capital long ago.

The Flight Magic flew straight to the village, with Frieren following closely behind. The village was quite ordinary, but thankfully, it had Church, and a rather large one at that.

Li Yan pushed open the Church door without stopping and immediately pulled the still somewhat bewildered Priest with Glasses to treat Fern.

Upon seeing Fern, who was afflicted by snake venom, the Priest with Glasses came to his senses. It turned out there was an injured person; no wonder the other party was in such a hurry. Realizing this, the Priest with Glasses immediately cast healing magic to try to remove the snake venom from Fern's body.

After a while, under Li Yan's expectant gaze, the Priest with Glasses shook his head. Clearly, he couldn't cure the snake venom. The only thing he could help Li Yan with was slowing down the onset of the venom.

The doctor shook his head; it was a near-death experience.

Seeing the Priest with Glasses shake his head, Li Yan's expression changed instantly. Wasting so much time along the way was worse than going back to the Archbishop Priest in the Royal Capital for treatment, and then using Space Magic to return later.

"But you don't need to worry. My brother is also Priest, and his healing magic is superior to mine. He will definitely be able to heal you."

The Priest with Glasses gave an awkward laugh; his healing magic was truly ineffective against this snake venom.

Seeing the Priest with Glasses's words, Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to ask, "Where is your brother now? Get him here for treatment as soon as possible."

The Priest with Glasses scratched his head sheepishly and looked out the window. "He's been out searching for medicinal herbs lately. At this rate, he should be back soon. Just wait a moment. I've suppressed the girl's snake venom; it should be enough to last until my brother returns."

Li Yan's lips twitched. He would have been better off taking Fern back to the Royal Capital with him. There was no need to insist on an authentic travel experience.

Just as Li Yan was carrying Fern and preparing to leave, she pushed open the door. The Priest with Glasses kept telling Li Yan to wait a moment, reminding her that there were no villages around.

As Li Yan left the Church, preparing to return to the Royal Capital through the Spatial Gate with Frieren, the middle-aged man who had fallen into the swamp appeared at the right moment, waving to Li Yan and Frieren.

The Priest with Glasses blinked and quickly stopped Li Yan from leaving, saying, "My brother is back. He can definitely cure him."

Li Yan stared in astonishment at the middle-aged man covered in mud, then at the handsome, bespectacled Priest with Glasses. This combination reminded him of Sein and his His Older Brother in the world of Frieren.

If the mud-covered middle-aged man is Sein, then Fern can indeed receive treatment. Remember, in the story, Stark was poisoned by snake venom and cured by Sein. Unexpectedly, without Stark, Fern suffering from snake venom instead.

After the farce, Li Yan couldn't help but laugh at his own actions. He ignored the Priest Sein who could have saved Fern and immediately went to a nearby village to look for the Priest. He ended up finding Priest 'Sein His Older Brother, but the crucial point was that Sein 'His Older Brother couldn't cure Fern either.

Compared to his His Older Brother, Sein's His Older Brother was indeed far superior, which made Li Yan feel a sense of appreciation for his talent and decided that he was worthy of being recommended to be trained in the Church in the Royal Capital.

After Fern's treatment was completed, Li Yan warmly invited Sein go to the Royal Capital for further studies. Rather than wasting his talents in a small village, he suggested that Zain should strive to achieve great things and make a contribution to the Kingdom. This invitation was only extended because Zain had cured Fern; otherwise, no matter how talented Zain was, Li Yan would not have bothered to persuade him.

"The Royal Capital?"

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Sein's face. His former friends had warmly invited him to travel, but he refused with all sorts of excuses. Although he desperately wanted to go with them at that time, he couldn't bear to abandon his brother and leave alone.

"I have no interest in leaving the village. You should go find someone else."

Sein waved his hand, which was tantamount to a refusal.
