Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 1057  The Situation of Nan's Grandfather

Vicente communicated with the small-bodied old man lying in front of him, leaving the surrounding fairies totally unaware of what he was doing.

Nan had heard how her grandfather had ended up in that situation, as well as his current condition, with the expectations of the tribe's Healers. The expectations for the old Grand Magus were not good. It wasn't impossible for him to recover, but it would take time and a lot of resources, which the tribe might not have to give the old specialist.

The tribe was in a dangerous situation, surrounded by problems from the war, with clashes to fight on all sides of the island, and enemies to worry about up and down. Their forces were suffering defeats and their troops constantly needed resources. Meanwhile, they could fall in a matter of months or a few years, given the growth of their enemies and the weakening of their alliance.

Could the tribe, in this grave situation, make a heavy effort to recover the old man, who, even if recovered, would suffer from sequelae and be weakened?

Nan understood the difficulty of her people and mourned twice as much for her grandfather, shedding her heartfelt tears as she leaned over the old man between life and death.

After a few minutes, however, she remembered why she had brought Vicente, and looked at him with hope. "Vice, can you examine my grandfather?" she asked him as she wiped away her tears.

The old Healer just looked at Vicente in silence, having already seen from the presentation he had given a few moments ago how impressive this man was. But whether Vice was as impressive a Healer as his pentagram configuration, this old Healer didn't know.

"Oh, sure, I'll take a look for you," Vicente pretended he hadn't already done so, asking Nan and the chief fairy Healer for permission to approach the old man sleeping soundly.

'There's a chance that this old man is being poisoned by someone. I can't tell them the truth just yet. I'll cure the most immediate problems to avoid complications later, but I'll leave signs that the old man is still poisoned. I'll leave the opportunity for a traitor to continue poisoning him and reveal themselves.'

As Vicente pondered, a cyan pentagram glowed around one of his hands, making the old man's pulse quicken as his skin reddened. Mana entered his body, with Nan and the tribe's Healer watching Vice's action expectantly.

He said to them both, "The grandpa's situation is complicated. I can only sort out the most immediate injuries, but what's causing his unconscious state is out of my hands. I can't say exactly what it is, so I can't find a solution."

Nan lost the hopeful glow on her face, slumping her shoulders and sighing in defeat.

She had asked too much of Vicente. He had barely begun his journey as an 8th stage magician. How could she ask him for medical skills superior to those of the Healers in his tribe? The fact that he could already improve her grandfather's situation a little was already very good!

"Thanks for that, Vicente. I'll definitely return all your help later."

He smiled subtly, continuing his action with the 6-Star 8th stage old man.

'But this poison is really complicated. Even with my skills, it would take me about two hours to beat it and even then I don't know what would happen to the old man at the end of the treatment... Maybe I should settle this when I've absorbed the essences that Nan is going to give me.'

He then retracted his aura, showing the Fairy Healer and Nan his finished work for the moment, while drops of sweat trickled down his face.

'Let's see if you've really been poisoned by a traitor, old man. If there really is a traitor, he'll analyze you right after I leave your side and probably poison you again.

While Vicente was thinking this, he had secretly activated another of his abilities and was now in control of Nan's old grandfather's body.

He tested it by slowly moving one of the old man's fingers, using this ancient ability he had, something he had used very little, despite its impressive capabilities.

"Sigh! Unfortunately, I can't do any more. I'm sorry, Nan, your grandfather is still in danger," he said as he stood up beside that bed, his gaze somewhat sad. "You should keep an eye on him. I've improved their situation a little, but not the main thing... In a way, he looks better now, but I've merely treated for the more superficial damage. The main thing is still there."

"Don't worry, you've done your best, young Vicente," said the Chief Healer of the tribe, thanking him with a handshake. "If possible, I'd like to talk about medical practices with you during your stay in the tribe. It could be of great help to the fairies and the alliance."

Vicente nodded to the old man courteously, in the dark as to who was to blame for immediately treating this being as suspicious.

Nan stayed alone with her grandfather for a few minutes, but eventually joined Vicente outside her grandfather's room.

She looked at him as she finished drying her tears and said, "Come with me. I'll take you to the tribe's treasury so you can get the essences I promised you." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"All right." He followed after her, with no intention of telling her his findings just yet.

Something he had learned on his journey was that it was always worth hiding your plans from everyone, even allies.

Nan wouldn't contribute anything knowing the truth, so he focused on getting his resources, determined to reach the 3-Star level as quickly as possible. If he could advance in level before going off to fight around Amae, he was sure that his chances in combat would be much better and his time on the island would be shortened.

"As for your pentagram, I already have a group looking for information on the tribe's enemies and their current locations. I believe that in a few days we'll be able to find the position of a good target for you, Vicente," Nan said before they entered a tree extremely well guarded by 8th stage fairies.

Upon entering the tree and finding himself in a much larger space than the outside implied, Vicente saw the action of the fairies' spatial rots in this place, before focusing on a large door with several magic circles on it, the entrance to the treasure.

"Anyway, we'll focus on sending you into combats that will bring you into contact with essences that are compatible with you. But for now, please accept this gift from me to you." Nan opened her arms as she finished unlocking the magic lock on their path, revealing to Vicente the greatest treasure he had ever seen in his entire magical journey.
