139. The Legend of the Green Dragon and the Art of Herbal Medicine

As soon as I realized, we were already somewhere full of green mist. I remember thinking about what we just experienced. We are shown a bleak past in our memories and even to the point of appearing in reality.

Just like the one in the mirror labyrinth, it's just that there, rather than attacking through the illusion, the shadows infiltrate our hearts to see the greatest guilt in our hearts and strengthen it. Fortunately, none of us waver about it. All seven of us made it out of that place.

But this is bad, this is already our fifth transfer place, but still we have not found any clues about the cause of the opening of the virtual world portal wildly on earth today. I don't know when this will happen. Moreover, we spent too much time on his third exam. We all hope that we can get out of here as soon as possible.

We also looked around. All around us was a forest filled with green mist. Aunt Sandra vomited blood. That's where we realized that the fog might be toxic and chose to get out of the place immediately to avoid even more severe contamination of the poison.

The fog was not seen again when we came out of the forest. There, I saw a casually dressed guard guard guard guarding the forest entrance.

“Whose are you?” Ask one of the guards.

We told in detail what we had experienced that we had lost consciousness and suddenly we realized we were already in the forest. Of course the related thing that we feel from the real world that infiltrates the virtual world remains a secret.

“Oh, you wanderers apparently. Indeed, lately many are misled by demons. Being tricked into retrieving his essential energy was then thrown away in the forest. Lucky you can still survive because you did not meet dangerous beasts from the forest or contaminated by toxins there.”

The guard also told us the incident that had happened in his village which turned out the existence of the wanderer for them was common.

We were kindly invited to visit the village chief there to explain the situation. It was seen that the village chief was very friendly. He even provided us with a place to stay for the night as long as we could not find a place to go.

The day passed quietly. Because of the loud warning from the village chief that forbade us to go out at night because at night, the poisonous green mist will seep into the interior of the village so that the doors and windows must be closed tightly, we passed through the night quietly.

Morning came and we started to walk around the village. But this is a bit strange, there is absolutely no system notification of what we should do. But clearly, that point on the road map once again stops which means there is one thing we have to do here before we continue our journey of searching for the villain who has caused chaos in our world by causing the portal opens wildly.

But we're not what it is. About what we have to do in this world to complete its mission. Is it the same as the first world we came to where this is an illusionary world where we have to kill the illusionary slime to get out of this world?

But Uncle Dios had said emphatically that there was no such thing here. Obviously this world is more akin to the world where the Prince, no, I mean the eighteenth King of Amora, Ivan, lives. Not knowing anything, we went around this time to get a clue.

We formed almost the same team as before where Aunt Sandra and Uncle Arthur were one team, then Professor Dios teamed up with Kak Arskad and Kak Kaiser, then this time I was left alone with my wild Uncle Shou, who was not clear what he would do next.

Even after he reached 63 years of age, when he regained his young body, he acted like a teenager who was just getting to know a world filled with curiosity.

Every place, no one was left unturned for him to visit and he was always curious about things that I thought were not at all important like why his accessories were made mica instead of metal, he said, or why his noodles are made sour rather than sweet, and so the questions are not important for him are always thrown to the villagers who are selling in the market.

Me alone, two things caught my attention. First, a way of treatment in this world that is relatively rare that utilizes herbal ingredients to store mana is then combined with pharmaceutical techniques and sacred techniques to make potion-like potions. Funny thing is, some of the herbs as we often see in everyday life such as turmeric, kencur, duck cocor, and so forth.

I accidentally passed by a woman who seemed to be dressed like a pharmacist complete with herbal medicines in her hands.

“Ah, forgive me. I hit Mommy accidentally. Duh, what is this plant?” I said in panic. If asked to change, I could be confused because when we were summoned in this world, we were not equipped with a supply of money.

“Ah, it's okay, Mas. I was also the wrong one because it moved too hastily so did not see anyone in front of me.” Answer the woman.

Thank goodness he's a good man.

“Ah, I'm Adrian. If later there is nothing with Mbak's boss because of my mistake, Mbak can look for me at the village head's house.” My real words only meant to make small talk.

The woman replied, “Ah, my name is Silvia. I am the pharmacist assigned to this village. I happened to live near the village chief's house. I can visit the Village Chief's house sometime.”

Silvia replied with a very friendly smile.

“If talking to the person who is currently living in the village head's house, it means you are a wanderer who is currently being rumored by villagers. Ah, bad. I'm late. Then, I go first huh, Adrian.”

Silvia seemed to be in a hurry to leave the place. Most job demands due to his fierce boss. Well, it can happen anywhere, whether it's in the real world, or in a fantasy world.

Though I have not asked what kind of rumors about us are currently spreading in the village warg. I must admit the greatness of the citizen information network in this village. We had just stayed overnight at the village chief's house, but the news of our whereabouts, the wanderers, had apparently spread throughout the village.

Then, one more thing that caught my attention, which was about the legend of the green dragon being possessed by an evil demon. It was the evil devil who corrupted little by little the body of the green dragon to produce the poisonous green mist.

The green dragon whose body was corrupted, settled in the deepest part of the forest, avoiding himself from people from being affected by the poison produced by his illness while still maintaining his consciousness that was gradually corrupted by the evil demon.

I had a feeling that this was the mission we had to figure out by eliminating the disease that was corrupting the body of the green dragon. Of course, this was just a guess, so I had to ask the others first about how they responded.

But if this were to be true, then we would have to think of a way to survive the poisonous green fog during our journey into the middle of the forest. None of us are as skilled in medicine and healing as my father's late best friend and Uncle Dios who disappeared into the virtual world, Kaiser Dewantara.

Of course the Uncle Kaiser Dewantara I am referring to here is not the Kaiser Dewantara Kak who is with us now. They just happen to be named the same. Nope, they were destined to be the same name because I heard that Kaiser's father admired his cousin so much that he named his son by the same name as him which may have been an attempt to keep that name in mind that had disappeared being swallowed into a virtual world.

Back to the problem, because none of us are capable of medicine and healing, inevitably we have to learn the art of medicine and healing from this world. And apparently, the woman named Silvia that I had met was quite talented in the field.

I had to go back to the woman and persuade her to teach us the art of medicine and healing for the success of our mission in this world.
