Chapter 10: Ch 10 - Little Doctor

Alekia: Albion could you help collect the supply of holy water with Marcus?

Albion's dad asked as he was stitching together a chopped-off finger on a man wearing armour.

Albion: Yes Dad!

Albion ran over to Marcus fast a they went to the back door of the clinic. Walking out of the store room and outside to the back of the clinic. Two clergymen in grey robes and golden sigil necklaces hanging from their necks over their grey robes. The sigil was similar to an infinity symbol that hung sideways. The two men stood in front of the door.

???: Bless it be.

Marcus: Bless it be.

Albion: Bless it be.

All of them gave a slight bow to each other as one of them pulled out two crates from a small pouch attached to his waist. The pouch was made using a magic replica of a very in-demand skill. Every time Albion saw it he was amazed. It seemed like there was infinite space inside that small pouch. Albion looked at the two big crates full of vials of holy water that were stored inside such a small pouch.

Marcus counted the vials in each crate. Making sure all of it was there. Each vial was quite expensive, so one was not to be missed out. And as Marcus smiled Albion took it as his sign to proceed. He picked it up and walked off with the two large crates. Even though he was now three years old Marcus and the Clergymen who had delivered here before were still surprised he could carry so much. The crates half the size of him. The crates were full of vials of concentrated holy water.

Marcus: He most definitely takes after his mother.

Marcus giggled as Albion walked off. Albion's hair was now at shoulder length, the red tips slightly longer. He was only 3 but he already looked like a 6 year old. Lifting a lot for his age. Lifting a lot for anyone not fully grown.

As Albion walked into the store room he gently placed down the crates. Running off to his father.

Albion: Dad we've received the delivery from the church and Marcus checked that we have the correct number of vials. Marcus is paying them now.

Alekia finished healing the finger back on as the man closed his hand. The finger was a bit shaky but it was still working. The wound left the smallest of scars as he took out the suture.

Alekia: Good job. Beds 2 and 6 just need some healing for minor wounds and bed 1 needs their weekly Purify.

Albion quickly ran to bed six, the nearest bed. A magic circle came from Albion's hand as a small cut that was bleeding in the patient's hand was sealed and healed. When he ran to bed 2 he saw a large cut on their leg. Albion grabbed a needle and suturing the wound closed. Then healing it and taking out the suture. The suture was used because larger wounds left scars but by closing the skin together you could leave a smaller scar on the patient. That would hopefully disappear over time.

Last was his favourite patient. A very kind and nice old lady who taught him often.

Albion: Mrs Winchester!

Mrs Winchester: Nice to see you again Albion. Are you doing well?

Albion: Yep! And I finished all the work you gave me! Do you want me to go and get it?

Albion was so excited every time he saw Mrs Winchester he nearly jumped for joy. He found it weird. Strangely he found it harder and harder to act his past age and became more like the age he was now. Though he tried to develop some control over himself.

Mrs Winchester: I'm sure it's right as always. So are you still set on becoming an adventurer? You know you're very good at being a healer and doctor.

Albion: Helping my dad is fun. But I want to see the world! {Defeat the demon king and live my life in a peaceful world.}

Mrs Winchester: The world's a dangerous place.

Albion: And I'll explore that too!

Albion said with a gleaming smile. A small smile on Mrs Winchesters' face. Only seeing the innocence in Albion.

Mrs Winchester: Hoho! You're just like your father. Dead set on what they want. You know your father was more stubborn than anyone I knew in his younger years.

Albion: You knew Dad when he was young?

Mrs Winchester: I may have retired from being an adventurer before him but we actually knew each other when we were younger. In fact, now that I think about it when you turn four and finish the church ritual come to my house. I'll have a gift to give you for your future adventuring. You'll most definitely need it.

Mrs Winchester smiled and Albion held a hand out. Using Purify over her body.

Albion: What will the gift be?

Mrs Winchester: That's a surprise.

Mrs Winchester winked as she got up. Using her cane to stand up well.

Mrs Winchester: I'll see my favourite little doctor next week then.

Albion: Same time!

Albion said with a wide smile. Waving Mrs Winchester off.

Albion: Dad! I'm going to visit the slime fields again today!

Alekia: Ok. But be safe! Remember to run away if you see anything other than a regular blue slime!

Albion: I will.

Albion said running out the door and through the town. Running to a large open field where blue slimes usually graze. It was just outside the village. A large open field, where trade carriages and travelling went through. The furthest Albion had gone outside his home village.

Lily: How's my little boy been doing?

Albion: LILY!

Lily appeared behind Albion as he ran up and hugged Lily as she hugged Albion. The embrace was long as both of them enjoyed being with each other. There was a calm gentle breeze as Lily kissed Albion's forehead, parting the hug as Albion giggled.

Albion: My status is looking a lot better. I got a skill called Clean from what my dad calls a skill book. And in 4 months not only is Mrs Winchester going to give me a special gift but I get to know my affinities.

Lily: So is today more slime hunting?

Albion: Yep! I may not be able to invest stat points but when I levelled up I felt my body still get stronger.

Lily gave a soft smile at Albion being so happy.

Lily: You're growing up so well.

Albion: I'm not really a kid!

Lily: You know that your child body has been affecting your mentality. You're practical a child in both body and mind. The only thing that's older is your soul.

Albion: Are you trying to say I'm childish?! I'm getting better control of myself. Soon I'll be back to my normal self.

Albion looked shocked as Lily hugged him.

Lily: You're still my little baby boy. No matter how old you get you're nowhere near my age. So you'll always be my baby.

Albion: I know. Thank you for staying with me Mommy.

Lily looked down at Albion and hugged him harder. Lifting him off his feet and spinning around.

Lily: AWWWW YOU'RE JUST SO CUTE!

Lily gave him so many kisses and placed him down as Albion walked over to a blue slime.

Lily: Just like I taught you ok.

Albion waited and waited. Looking at the slime. Using his Observing skill on it.

[Blue Slime]

Then quickly plunged his hand into the slime and crushed the blue core inside of it. The blue core while like a glass ball on the inside of a slime became soft when crushed. The slime lost its round form as it turned into a puddle. Albion put the small core shards in the bag he had. It felt weird. Like a jelly. But Albion knew. It didn't taste like jelly.

Blue Slimes were mostly docile creatures. The weakest of the weak. Only attacking if provoked. So if you took out their core. The only weakness in their body. It was an instant win. But if you didn't move fast enough just putting your hand in one would provoke it. And while they don't do much damage because they have soft bodies it still hurts to get hit by them.

Albion: 99 more slimes to go before we drop these core shards off at the Adventures guild!

Lily: The tax for non-adventurers is crazy though.

Albion: I know. When they said 50% I nearly passed out.

Albion and Lily giggled as Albion continued to hunt Blue slimes.
