Chapter 228:The Saintess has become the forsaken of the gods! (1)
The door to the treatment room was pushed open, and Betty walked in briskly, holding a pained expression on Louise's face. Chester followed closely behind, gasping for breath.
The captain of the guards held the saint, but she climbed the stairs much faster than him. He had to almost run the whole way to catch up with her.
As Betty entered, her gaze fell upon Adolf and she hurriedly approached him with Louise in her arms, respectfully saying, "Lord Adolf, the saint's condition has worsened. We request your help."
"Louise, meet Lord Adolf," Louise, although in pain to the point of almost fainting, still opened her eyes and spoke softly.
Both of them showed enough respect towards Adolf.
Ignoring Hayward, they went straight to Adolf, which made Hayward's face darken slightly, but he couldn't do anything about it.
"Quick, place the saint in the center of the formation." Adolf saw Louise covered in cold sweat and wasted no pleasantries. He led Betty to place Louise on the jade bed in the middle of the formation.
The intricate formation was embedded with expensive and precious elemental stones and magic cores. It was the highest-level healing formation of the Physician Association and the top healing formation on the Isor Continent.
"I am Hayward, the President of the Physician Association. How is the saint's condition?"
Hayward stepped forward, deliberately blocking Adolf behind him, looking concernedly at Louise lying on the jade bed and asking.
Louise, only sixteen years old, had already reached the fourth level of strength. It was said that she was a wood-element mage with a strong affinity for natural forces.
Although she had not yet fought against anyone, it was said that she was invincible among her peers in the forest and could fight beyond her level.
It could be anticipated that within a hundred years, she would grow to become one of the most powerful beings on the Isor Continent, possessing extremely formidable strength.
The elves, with their long lifespan and the blessings of the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of Nature, could not be underestimated.
If they could save her today, it would mean gaining a great favor from the future queen of the elves. Hayward naturally wouldn't let this opportunity be taken by others.
As a powerful ninth-level healing mage and with the support of the healing formation, Hayward was very confident in saving Louise.
Betty instinctively looked at Adolf.
Adolf took a step back and nodded slightly to her.
Only then did Betty turn to Hayward and say, "Respected President Hayward, the saint has been experiencing severe Abminal pain since two days ago. The High Priest and many healing mages in the clan have tried various healing spells, including detoxification, but have been unable to cure her. Her condition has worsened. We request the President and the other masters to save the saint."
The faces of the elders all slightly changed when they heard this.
The elves were known as the favored children of the Goddess of Life. Even if they were not healing mages, they were mostly skilled in using herbs to treat illnesses.
The proportion of healing mages among their ranks was the highest among all races, and their strength was evident from Elder Adolf.
The seriousness of Louise's condition could be seen from her being sent to Calva overnight.
"Abminal pain?"
Hayward looked at Louise, who was clutching her lower right Abmen, almost curled up in pain, with a slight frown.
Benjamin was equally renowned as Adolf and was also extremely skilled at healing and saving lives. The influence of the Physician Association within the elven clan was limited, mainly because, under Benjamin's leadership, elven medical skills had developed into a unique field.
Although healing spells were their main focus, they also developed the production of herbal potions, flourishing in that area.
If Benjamin and the healing mages in the elven clan couldn't solve Louise's illness, it meant that the condition was probably not simple.
If Hayward could cure her, he would certainly become famous among the elves, even overshadowing Benjamin.
But if he couldn't heal her, he didn't need to worry too much about his reputation being tarnished.
After all, this was a disease that even the combined power of the elven race couldn't cure, a race loved by the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of Nature. It wouldn't be surprising if he couldn't heal her.
Thinking of this, Hayward gained confidence. He nodded slightly and said, "Saint, don't worry. The Physician Association has the best doctors on the Isor Continent and the best healing formations. Today, we will cure you."
Louise was in so much pain that he could only nod slightly, indicating his consent.
Seeing this, the elders all withdrew from the formation.
Adolf, though concerned, did not question Hayward.
While he didn't approve of Hayward's methods and actions, he recognized Hayward's abilities as one of the best doctors in the Medical Association. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the president.
Adolf didn't care about reputation if Hayward could save Louise.
After all, even Benjamin couldn't find a way to cure the incurable disease, so Adolf also had no absolute confidence in curing Louise.
"This illness... feels somewhat familiar..." Elder Jacques muttered quietly on the sidelines, his face also filled with concern.
"Don't worry, Captain. The president will personally take action and will surely be able to cure the saintess," Chester reassured Betty confidently.
Hayward produced a dark golden magic wand in his hand, with a bright blue diamond embedded at the top. He stood beside the jade bed, his expression solemn as he began to chant an incantation.
Ancient spells resounded from his mouth, and the formation on the ground lit up. Intricate runes and lines merged and converged at the center of the jade bed.
Louise's body was enveloped in golden light and slowly floated up.
As Hayward chanted, countless green dots of light appeared in the air, as if being drawn into a vortex, rushing towards Louise who was suspended in mid-air, entering her flawless skin.
Such a powerful healing magic could even revive someone who had only a faint trace of life left.
But unfortunately, the painful expression on Louise's face did not disappear. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed tighter, showing even more agony.
"This..." Betty's face changed slightly, and she instinctively wanted to step forward.
"Don't panic. If it's not an injury, it might be some kind of poison. Let me detoxify her," Hayward raised his hand to stop Betty.
After ending the healing spell, he began to chant the incantation for detoxification. The green dots of light disappeared, replaced by snowflake-like white dots that turned into a white ribbon, surging towards Louise's most painful lower right Abmen.
"Ah--"
A layer of frost covered Louise's face, and she finally couldn't bear the pain any longer, letting out a painful scream.
"Stop!"
Adolf instantly entered the formation, interrupting Hayward's spellcasting. He waved his hand, dispersing the white dots of light that were still flowing towards Louise, and pointed with his pale yellow magic wand to her lower right Abmen.
A pale yellow light entered her Abmen.
The chill was instantly dispelled from her body, and Louise stopped struggling. However, the intense pain made tears uncontrollably stream down her face. She looked at Adolf with gratitude in her eyes.
Hayward, whose spellcasting was interrupted, didn't look too good. He looked at Louise, who now had a pale face and weak breath, his brows furrowing even tighter.
After a moment of deliberation, he said, "Healing magic is ineffective, and the detoxification magic has accelerated the deterioration of the disease. With the support of the healing formation and me overseeing the treatment, magic does not affect her. The vile disease Louise is suffering from is not caused by any illness, but rather because she has been abandoned by the gods."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone in the treatment room changed dramatically.
Abandoned by the gods!
