Riveria nodded, then said, "She is Aina Tengluo, my best friend."

"No, I'm just Riveria's attendant."

Aina blushed and whispered.

Aina is a mature woman with brown hair, who looks a bit like a pushover, and has a slightly pale complexion.

He was Riveria's follower before she became an adventurer, so their relationship probably started when they were children.

In other words, Aina is close in age to Riveria and they have been friends for at least seventy years.

"Cough cough..."

After greeting her, she coughed lightly, covering her mouth, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Sorry."

"It's alright... It seems to be a respiratory infection; you're not feeling well."

Ming Ge said.

"Respiratory infection?"

Riveria was captivated and couldn't help but ask.

Since leaving her hometown, Aina's health has gradually declined.

She seemed quite anxious, but didn't know what to do.

In this world, healing can be broadly categorized into wound healing, physical and mental recovery, detoxification, and spell breaking.

Detoxification may help with respiratory infections, but it doesn't have any real antiviral properties.

"Viruses are something that exists by attaching to life, and they are as ubiquitous as the air. The human body has resistance to viruses and other such things, and people with lower resistance are more susceptible to disease."

"Respiratory infections are diseases caused by viruses and bacteria. Detoxification and recovery magic may be effective, but they cannot directly address the problem."

Ming Ge tried to explain in a way that Riveria could understand, "The best way to deal with this type of disease is to strengthen oneself to resist external diseases."

As is widely known, humans and viruses coexist.

This might be different for fairies and spirits, but elves also have physical bodies and are also beings from the lower realm, so they will still be affected accordingly.

Although Ming Ge himself is still within the human realm, he no longer coexists with the virus, and his Regulation Magic allows him to maintain his best condition at all times, unaffected by external influences.

With the skill 'Forever Beautiful Boy', his state can be locked, preventing his body from degenerating, including his physical lifespan, which is essentially fixed.

The saying "spiritual practice is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind" is inapplicable to Ming Ge.

Of course, fairies whose Soul Materialization bodies are also pure and immaculate.

"There's actually something like this?"

Riveria exclaimed in astonishment.

For adventurers, illnesses are now extremely rare.

Because adventurers have high stamina and resistance, advanced adventurers are very likely to choose 'abnormal resistance' as their development ability.

Let alone a tiny bit of virus, even a deadly poison that can corrode the skin in seconds cannot affect adventurers with exceptional resistance.

It exhibits unusual resistance, and it resists not only toxins.

"You can ask Loki about that."

Ming Ge smiled and said, "Although she doesn't understand medicine, gods have a considerable understanding of the nature of the world and the structure of the lower realm."

Of course, the gods are also immaculate.

Not only the gods, but all beings in the celestial realm are immaculate, including immortals and other life forms.

Many deities consider the mortal realm to be impure, and the celestial realm to be pure precisely because of this.

Ming Ge estimated that the Celestial Realm itself was closer to a world constructed of energy, which was why it was able to remain unchanged.

"In fact, once you reach the microscopic level, you'll understand that life in the lower realms coexists with viruses."

Ming Ge offered another explanation, which gave Riveria goosebumps.

Doesn't this mean... her body is actually very dirty??

"It seems this theory is too early for elves."

Ming Ge had completely forgotten that elves are germaphobes.

After all, Riveria didn't show this when she was with him.

"I can help adjust her physical condition after the banquet."

Ming Ge said.

Please.

Riveria said, her face slightly flushed.

Although she felt a little embarrassed by the Falna, it was related to Aina after all, so she couldn't refuse even if she felt embarrassed.

Next, Ming Ge went to greet the others and met many characters from the original work, but they were still very weak at the moment.

Ottar (Level 4), Finn (Level 3), Gareth Landrock Level 3), Tsubaki (Level 2), and others.

Hermes, who often ran around outside Orario, also returned. At this time, the leader was not Asfi yet; the princess of the sea kingdom was still a little girl when Hermes kidnapped her.

In fact, Hermes had already returned to Orario, but Ming Ge had not seen him yet.

Given Hermes's personality, he would never want to miss a heroic moment like challenging the Black Dragon.

"How about it?"

At the banquet, Loki and Freya sat together, talking in hushed tones.

The two gods actually have a good relationship, especially during this period; in a sense, they are finding solace in each other.

If the story takes place eight years later than in the original novel, Astraea will be able to integrate into their circle.

But now, because of Ming Ge, Astraea has reached the pinnacle of the world in a short time since descending to the mortal realm, which even Loki and Freya envy.

"I can't see through it."

Freya shook her head helplessly and said, "The child's clothes have soul-defense capabilities; they're probably specially made robes. Even my Eye of God can't see through them. Clearly, the child is wary of us (the gods)."
