Zuu immediately stood up as soon as he saw Edrik get off the stage and walked up to him. "First prince, your wound-"
Edrik saw the wound on his hand. "Only small wounds, no need to overdo it. How's the woman doing?"
"The knights immediately searched for the nearest doctor."
"Far from here, the temple. Why was he taken to the doctor?" Edrik asked not to understand.
"First prince, did you forget about the teachings that the high priest spread in viscount Fei's territory?"
Edrik.
"You also have to be treated immediately, fortunately the wound is not too severe. I'll investigate the man."
Edrik nodded, happy to have a subordinate who was quick to respond.
-----------
The doctor's clinic.
"It's a good thing the wound wasn't too deep, it was just cleaned and bandaged." The doctor said while dealing with Edrik's wounds.
Edrik looked around the small, clean but rather old clinic. "Why is the clinic like this? Is there a better place to treat patients?"
The middle-aged male doctor, sighed. "How can I improve this place or look elsewhere, people in this region no one wants to seek treatment, they rely on the power of the pastor's prayer.
"I don't really care about that, but definitely not all can be handled by the priest, such as a broken bone. Only the high priestess or high priestess below him could handle it."
"You didn't tell them?"
"I was laughed at, even accused of being a subordinate of the devil. The doctors in this region are just my left."
"What about the woman who was whipped? He's gonna need treatment, too." Ask Edrik curiously.
The doctor shakes his incense. "How can I treat while I'm a man, I recommend a family treat but no one wants to do it because thinking a woman who's ever been sentenced to whip is just as dirty."
"Ah, just like the nobles who think scars are disgusting." Edrik saw the doctor had finished his work. "What about the baby?"
"Infant?"
"Well, baby or kids get hurt. Are they treated the same?"
"If they are injured and the high priest is busy, the parents come to my place and make sure their children do not leave any scars. The most unfortunate thing is the vaccine."
"Vaccines?"
"Well, especially babies need vaccines to protect against the virus. Parents don't believe then-"
"If a foreign body enters the body, it is also prohibited."
"True, I tried to give an explanation for the parents but in vain. They do not want to hear and even scorn me, even though the endurance of each child's body is different."
"Can the temple not be cooperated?"
"How to cooperate? The temple always says this." The doctor shook his head in despair. "I stayed in this place out of pity to see little children who knew nothing and became victims."
"Have you asked the capital for help?"
"What way do I ask for help? Fix the clinic alone no money, let alone send a letter asking for help. If there's a little money, I'd rather buy drugs."
"How can you get the medicine? If they all believed in the temple, of course they would not believe in medicine."
"Yes, they switched to herbs. It's just that even medicinal plants can be toxic if they are not in accordance with the dosage. Once a month there is a merchant who helps bring my order, I can also owe."
"I look for herbs and sell them."
Zuu who stood behind the edrik and watched the course of the treatment, was shocked. "You're too old to look for plants and definitely have to go up the mountain."
"What else do I have to do to save them? I am not a hero or protector of evil, my conscience is too great to see the sick."
Edrik promised the doctor. "I'll try to talk to the temple, promise me you won't go up the mountain again. Drug problem, I will help distribution. You don't have to worry."
The doctor stared at the confused Edrik. "Are you a high nobleman that merchants and temples fear?"
Zuu. "No, it just so happens that we also have a conscience that we feel capable of doing anything for the sake of the sick."
The doctor breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank God, I hope you don't change your mind."
Edrik was determined to save his people.
"Mr Zuu, there's a dog owner who came to say thank you." Report the knight assigned to look for the dog owner.
Zuu asked Edrik. "Are you going to meet them?"
Edrik nodded briefly. "I want to hear the full story."
Zuu and the knight brought the dog owner to meet with Edrik after borrowing one of the clean rooms.
"Ha-hello."
Edrik nodded briefly and then let the woman aged about forty years and above sit down. "My name is Ed, you?"
"Rose." Rose replied while sitting on the wooden chair.
"It's nice to meet you, I'm sure your dog has the same feeling."
Rose prostrated on the floor and spoke in a trembling tone. "Thank you for saving Bo, I was worried when I heard Bo was released when I wasn't home. I've been looking for him for two days, apparently all this time he's been hiding in the temple.
"Know so, I went to the temple and saved him. Temple people do not like animals, especially dogs. Thank you, thank you."
"You can sit down, all I do is be ordinary."
Rose sat down again after Zuu's help. "No, you've been amazing helping Bo's life. In this region there is no place for animals and also followers other than Helcia."
"Why don't you get out of this area with Bo?"
"How do I get out? I don't have much money to be able to go out with Bo, besides I'm afraid I can't get a decent job."
"What do you work for?"
"I'm just a regular farmer, helping my husband. Usually Bo keeps our place, said a neighbor who harassed Bo to escape far away and can not go home."
"You know Bo can't be maintained because the rules aren't written, why is it still maintained?"
"I embrace the belief in nature, whatever we do in the world will surely be rewarded. We can't hurt animals or just throw them away. Bo ran away from someone's entrapment, my husband and I can't just close their eyes."
Zuu nodded. "True, the teachings of the temple in the viscount Fei region were incompatible with the teachings of the Helcia temple. It seems that the high priest in this temple is troubled, we are investigating."
Both of the women's eyes were shining. "Are you from the representative of the temple of Helcia?"
Zuu and Edrik exchanged glances and replied simultaneously. "Yes." Yeah."
"Good, then can you bring in a high priest to heal sick children as well?"
"Yes?" ask Zuu and Edrik simultaneously.
