Morgana seemed to understand Luna's intent in asking for a silver furred rabbit, so she quickly said before Emery was able to translate, "Not possible!"

"The silver furred rabbit is a sacred beast of our tribe. It belongs to us; it is not supposed to be in the hands of outsiders," said Emery to Luna, translating Morgana's words. Of course, he didn't mention the latter.

Luna fell silent for a moment then looked at Emery said, "What about you, Merlin? Can you help? You are a wizard, aren't you? You manage to get your hand back!"

Emery shook his head and said, "It wasn't me who cured my hand. And it's something I can't tell you. However, can you show me your father? Let me see what I can do."

Luna's eyes beamed as she led Emery back to her mansion into her father's room with Morgana following closely behind. Emery never thought of himself as a physician or a healer, he knew some knowledge of medicine through his exploration of alchemy and his observation whenever granny heals a patient. But knowing about potions and actually healing a sick person are two different things. He would need the skill to know what kind of sickness the person had before giving any treatment, and Emery has very little knowledge about that. Nevertheless, Emery thought he really should see if there's anything he can do to help.

As the three of them entered the room, the rough coughing man was the first thing that came into their senses and Luna hurried her steps, picked up a pot, and gave it to her father with the assistance of Silas, who had been sitting on the bedside.

After giving the contents of the pot, the father fell back on the bed, slightly trembling coupled with mumbling. Emery drew closer and when he looked at him, Luna's father seemed older than the age she had mentioned to him. His face was full of wrinkles, dried lips, gray hair, body as thin as bones, and sweated profusely. The servant, also waiting in the room, picked up a rag, and wiped off the old man's sweat on the chest and face.

Silas got up to Emery and suddenly bowed almost at a right angle. He said, keeping his bowing position steady, "Master Merlin! Please forgive my previous audacity. I beg of you, help my father!"

Emery felt a pang of pain in his heart as his gaze switched from Silas to Luna and finally their father. He knew completely well how it felt watching someone you love suffering but you could do nothing. He then patted Silas's shoulder without saying anything and walked up to their father.

He checked the pulse; it was weak but it was there. He then turned to Luna, giving a gesture to the servant to leave. She complied and once the servant had left. The first thing he needed to do is to calm the patient as well as everyone.

Emery opened his mouth and issued the new spell he had learned from the Lady of the Lake called Nature's Blessing. The heavy atmosphere felt a bit lighter and the siblings watched as their father stopped mumbling and his breathing calmed down.

Luna was about to say something but got stopped as Emery spoke first, "The spell I just used only has a calming effect."

Emery's eyes fell on the pot container sitting on the bedside. He went to it, gave it a sniff before asking, "Is this the medication the physician has given?"

Luna nodded. "This was given by a well known Lioness physician."

Emery then used his fragmentation spell.

[Fragmentation]

[4 essences found]

[Pain reliever] [High fever elixir] [Body strengthener]

So far, they were all essences that could enhance a person with a weak body. That was good. However, when the fourth essence appeared, it shook him.

[Weakening toxin]

[A poison that although harmless in a small dosage, continuous consumption of it would slowly damage the consumer]

Emery frowned finding out there was something harmful inside the medicine pot. However, this was somewhat a good discovery. Now that he knew the cause, he asked Morgana to bring his bag from the guest's room, and when she returned, he quickly confirmed the information:

[Cleansing Potion]

[Removes harmful bacteria and toxins in the body]

This was exactly what he needed. Emery lifted the cleansing potion and said, "Give this to your father. This should help—"

The father once again burst out coughing. It looked like the Nature's Blessing spell only calmed people momentarily but since the spell description said wounds, the toxins, and whatever bacteria was, weren't gone.

After the father stopped coughing, Luna gave the cleansing potion to her father and at once, her father became calm again, stopped coughing, and was breathing in a rhythmic manner as if he was sleeping like a log.

Luna exclaimed, "Merlin! Look, it's working!"

Emery didn't say anything for his mind was filled with the contents of the so-called 'medication'. "Please observe him for a few more days. It's too early to tell."

"Still, this is the first time in years we have seen him sleeping soundly. Thank you," said Luna. Her brother also bowed.

Emery then picked up the medicine pot and said, "Sorry Silas, but can you give me Luna a moment?"

Silas looked at her sister before nodding and leaving the room.

Now there were only Luna's father, Morgana, Luna, and him. He said, "Luna, can you tell me where are you receiving this medicine from?"

"The physician goes here every month and brews it," answered Luna. Her brows then frowned, looking like she had picked up something. "Why?"

Emery carefully said, "Don't give your father this medication anymore. I'll give you a new one and I'll write down the instructions. This medication has flaws in it. Whether it was on purpose or not, I do not know."

"What are you trying to say," said Luna, trying to keep herself calm.

"The reason why you're father is becoming more ill, is this," Emery said while pointing to the pot of medicine, "again, I don't know if this was done on purpose or not, but I think you should check."

Luna was silent.

"As long as your father does not take this brew or anyone from your household. This shouldn't happen again. If you happen to have the list of ingredients the physician makes, I may try to find which specific ingredient is causing it. So, I can advise you to stay away from it," said Emer.

Luna simply nodded.

After that, Luna got up and once again gave appreciation to Emery. Morgana and Emery then went back to the guest house that had been prepared for them and rested for the day.

The Next day, Emery spent his time buying herbs he hadn't seen before from the markets and various shops in Venta. During one of his shut-in sessions, he managed to find the herb which had the toxin. It was a plant called Nightshade. Now that Emery knows the plant, with his analyze skill he is now fully convinced that his cleansing potion should be enough to cure the toxin on Luna's father's body. But still, Emery made a new brew, similar to the one her father had been taking. All he had done to that was remove the nightshade plant. Now, this new brew can be used whenever his sickness occurs again.

Emery fell into contemplation as he stared at the nightshade plant. It was half-a-fortune that the cause of sickness was due to toxin, hence he had managed to help Luna's father. If it had been something else, he wasn't sure he would have been able to help. In light of this, he decided to learn something related to medicine once he returned to the academy in order to expand his current skill sets.

He continued shutting himself in, learning more about potion making, using his fragmentation, and analyze spells from all the herbs he had bought in the market. When he finished with all the herb he gathered, Emery again feel satisfied with the contribution point he has received"

[Contribution point : 2510]

There were only three days left before he got recalled. However, he was still nowhere convincing Morgana from leaving and going back to the forest. It looked like she had become fond of staying in the city and following him around, although she kept on insisting she was only doing this because of an order from the High Priestess.

This morning, however, a servant of the Quintin's arrived at the guest's house and mentioned that knights from the Lioness Kingdom had arrived and Lady Luna was asking for Emery's presence to attend as well.

He got out of the guest house and arrived in the grand hall of the Quintin Mansion. In front of Luna, Kastan, and Emery, were people wearing silver-plated armor with a red cape that was held in place by a crest of a lion.
