Zald (Continued)
Alfia explained, "Zald is a high-ranking member of Zeus Familia, a level 7 adventurer."
"Because of his special abilities, he consumed the flesh and blood of Behemoth, the King of the Land, during their battle, which greatly enhanced his physical abilities, allowing him to defeat Behemoth; he is currently poisoned."
In fact, even without Ming Ge, Alfia knew that person. In the Seven Days of Death, seven or eight years later in the original story, Zald let Hai die at Ottar's hands, giving Ota a wave of experience points and allowing Ottar to level up to Iv7.
In fact, in a battle of the same level, Zald against Ottar, not to mention that Ottar was only level 6 at that time.
Even now, at Orario's peak, he is the third-ranking member of Zeus Familia and one of its important combat forces.
"Why are you only coming to find me now?"
Ming Ge asked, puzzled.
Zald's poison had reached a critical stage, essentially a terminal illness, but it wasn't a major problem for Ming Ge, who possessed Absorption Magic.
"The main problem is that they didn't know about your Absorption Magic. After all, you're not known for your healing magic. They only reminded Hera after they remembered this."
Alfia explained, "There's another reason: Hera doesn't want you to meet Zeus, fearing he might corrupt you."
"But I think that old woman is worrying too much. You and Zeus are no less concerned in this regard."
Alfia then went on to badmouth Ming Ge.
Honestly, how could he possibly compare to Zeus?
Although Ming Ge also likes beautiful women, he doesn't enjoy harassing others like Zeus does.
"I see..."
Ming Ge nodded and said, "Shall we leave now?"
"Um."
Alfia nodded, and then led Ming Ge to the Zeus Familia.
They walked across two whole streets before finally arriving at their destination.
It truly lives up to its reputation as the world's strongest region; the entire area is occupied by two major clans, it's ridiculously large.
The two knocked on the door, and after receiving a response, they opened it and went inside.
"Welcome, young man."
A bearded, somewhat gentle-looking old man greeted us.
Compared to Zeus, who looks like an old man, Hera is a beautiful woman, giving off a feeling of a grandfather-granddaughter relationship.
However, Hera's speech is a different story; she speaks in a very old-fashioned manner, which explains why Alfia calls her an old woman.
"Nice to meet you, Zeus, and Hera is here too."
Ming Ge nodded slightly in respect, and then, at Zeus's gesture, sat down on the other side of the sofa.
Beside Zeus stood a tall, brown-haired man with scars on his face.
The middle-aged man, exuding an aura of oppression, looked at Ming Ge with a slightly frightened yet self-perceived friendly smile.
"I have to keep an eye on this idiot, lest he say something strange."
Hera nodded calmly, then gave Zeus a warning look.
Zeus, feeling Hera's piercing gaze, scratched his head and said, "I've wanted to see you for a long time, and now my wish has finally come true."
"See me?"
Ming Ge looked at Zeus with a puzzled expression.
"After all, I'm curious about how they managed to win over Meitellia in such a short time."
Zeus, in a matter-of-fact tone, exclaimed, "You have my style! So, young man, how about joining my kin?"
"Zeus!!"
Hera glared at him through gritted teeth.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more."
Seeing Hera's angry expression, Zeus raised his hands in surrender, then nodded his chin and looked at Zald, saying, "This child is named Zald, and he has been poisoned. I would like you to help me see if you can cure him."
Even if it doesn't work, it would be good if he could be more comfortable.
I'll try my best.
Ming Ge nodded, then looked at the tall and imposing man.
"My name is Zald, this is a small gift."
Zald handed Ming Ge a magic book and said.
"Polite."
Ming Ge accepted it without hesitation.
For a behemoth like Zeus Familia, a magic book is nothing; it's really just a 'gift'.
Even in the future, the Loki Familia and Freya Familia will only be known as the strongest in 'Orario', while the Zeus Familia and Hera Familia will be the strongest in 'the world'.
Let's get straight to the point.
Ming Ge looked at Zald and said.
Not bad, getting straight to the point right away, straightforward and efficient.
Before Zald could say anything, Ming Ge unleashed her perception magic.
The updated perception magic can project every aspect of the other person's body into the brain, creating a 3D image.
More refined perception, and more refined processing.
Although Ming Ge is not very skilled at healing, this kind of extremely subtle treatment is something that most healing magic cannot do.
"Is it really that serious...?"
Ming Ge sighed.
Although I already knew that Zald's poison was a terminal illness, I didn't expect it to be this serious.
In Ming Ge's perception, all of Zald's cells were stained green, and he was almost entirely clinging to life thanks to the adventurer's physical prowess.
