Earl Bourban was startled when he heard that and asked: “Are you telling the truth?” You must know that in the past there were many pharmacist enchanters who said the same thing as you, but they all failed.”
“Confidence is a good thing, but confidence without ability is foolishness.”
“Hahahaha…” Alec laughed loudly: “Count Bourban, can you and I make a bet?”
“What do you mean…”
Alec interrupted Bourban’s words, smiled, and said: “It’s very simple. If I cure Sakuth’s illness, you will give me your earldom.”
“Well, do you dare bet with me? Or… are you afraid of losing?”
Looking at Bourban, who was so surprised that he was speechless, he continued to say: “Or… Lady Sakuth’s life is not as important as your Earl title?”
When Earl Bourban heard that, he frowned and said: “Good, ?Sakuth’s life is much more important than this title.”
“However, what if you fail?”
“Hahahaha…” Alec laughed loudly, his smile carrying a bit of confidence and madness: “Will I fail? Don’t think that I’m like other ordinary pharmacist enchanters.”
“However, if I lose, I will give you this.” .
As soon as Alec finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a black fire rose appeared and floated on his palm.
“That is… an essence flame!” Count Bourban was, after all, an experienced adventurer, so he immediately recognised the black fire rose in Alec’s hand as an essence flame.
“Hahaha… It looks like you’re not as stupid as I thought. That’s right; if I don’t cure her, I’ll give this to you.” Alec smiled and said: “You probably know how great its value is, right?”
“Of course…” Earl Bourban nodded and said: “Then… Please show off your abilities. If you can save my daughter, let alone my earldom, even if you want this castle, I will still offer it to you with both hands.”
“Hahahaha… I hope you won’t break your promise by then.” Alec smiled contemptuously.
“Don’t worry. You can ask of me; almost all nobles know my personality.” Bourban frowned and said: “If I make a promise, I will definitely never break it. Even if I jump into hell, I will still try to fulfill that promise.”
“Good! I don’t need to use a contract with you either.” Alec nodded and said: “I trust your character.”
After speaking, Alec approached Lady Sakuth and bowed his head to look at her. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her, and this was because she was very beautiful, as beautiful as an angel descending to earth.
‘Sakuth, after I save you, hopefully… you can become my woman.’ Alec thought to himself.
He reached out and grabbed Sakuth’s hand. Bourban frowned when he saw this scene; however, he did not say anything more.
At this moment, Medos was not free. He controlled the magical energy transmitted into Sakuth’s body and began to search for the source of the disease.
A moment later, Alec let go, the smile on his face becoming more confident.
“Earl Bourban, I think you should prepare a title transfer contract. Hahahaha…”
Listening to Alec’s words, Bourban was not angry or upset; he just nodded and replied: “Good, I will wait until you completely cure my daughter; I will immediately make a contract and transfer the title.” for you.”
“Are not!” Alec shook his head and said, “I want you to do it now because… I will cure her illness right now.”
“What?!” Bourban was startled.
However, Alec did not explain further. He took out a large brown cauldron with strange patterns from his space bag.
Alec took out a few more herbs from the space bag, then put them all inside the cauldron.
‘Fortunately, I anticipated that Sakuth’s illness would require many rare herbs, so I bought them. Now everything is extremely simple; I just need to prepare that pill, and it will solve her disease immediately.’
‘Huh! It looks like those pharmacist enchanters are all a bunch of useless people. According to Master Medos, this disease is not a strange disease.’
‘In ancient times, many people suffered from this disease, and the medicine to treat it was very simple. However, this medicine was only understood by the ancient pharmacist enchanters, so the current pharmacist enchanters do not seem to know about it.”
‘Luckily, I have Master Medos; otherwise, I’m afraid it would take me a long time to find a way to save this girl.’
‘Hahahaha… Earl title, I’m coming!’
Alec stopped thinking about it and started preparing the medicine according to Medos’ instructions.
However, this pill has a 3-star level of difficulty, so he needed Medos’ help.
He then used black rose flame to cover the entire cauldron. However, hidden inside that black flame is another white flame, which is the Essence Flame of Medos.
The medicinal herbs inside the cauldron were slowly melted. Alec focused on preparing the medicinal herbs, not paying attention to his surroundings.
Earl Bourban also did not trust Alec, so he decided to stay in this room and wait to see if a miracle would happen or not.
After more than 4 hours, Alec shouted softly: “Stop!”
The fire immediately burned more intensely, but then it turned into countless small black sparks and disappeared in the air.
The herbal scent from inside the cauldron spread throughout the room. It was extremely strong, but it did not make Bourban feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, it comforted him.
Alec took out a black pill from the cauldron with a white light pattern on it.
He frowned and muttered: “Just good quality? It’s fine, anyway; this is enough to save her.”
Bourban didn’t understand at all what Alec was saying. Although he had a lot of knowledge, he was not a pharmacist enchanter after all, so he had no idea how difficult that pill was to prepare.
However, he just needed to know whether that pill could save his daughter or not.
Alec held the pill in his hand and stuffed it into Sakuth’s mouth. As soon as the pill entered her mouth, it immediately disintegrated without her having to swallow it.
A moment later, Sakuth slowly woke up; her eyes opened as she looked around. She was startled when she saw Alec, but Alec quickly smiled and reassured her.
“Miss Sakuth, don’t worry. I am the one your father invited to treat you.”
“The other pharmacist enchanters couldn’t save you, but I saved you because… I’m different from them. No, to be more precise… I am more special than them.”
Hearing Alec’s words, Sakuth looked around. When she saw Bourban, she immediately felt safe.
When Bourban saw Sakuth regain consciousness, he was unable to control his emotions, so tears immediately flowed out of his eyes.
“You’re finally awake, Sakuth.” 𝑖.𝑐ℴ𝑚
“Uhm! I’m awake, father.” Sakuth spoke softly; her voice was as easy to hear as the sound of a silver bell.
Suddenly, Bourban shivered, as if he had sensed something extremely scary.
However, no one noticed his expression except Sakuth.
Bourban hurriedly said: “Sakuth, how do you feel about your body?”
Sakuth tilted her head; she then meticulously felt her body for a moment, then said: “Very good; it seems I’m not sleepy anymore. I… I can really live like a normal person.”
“Are you really not sleepy anymore?” Bourban asked suddenly.
“That’s right.” Sakuth tried to sit up in bed, nodded, and said: “Before, every time I woke up, I still felt sleepy, as if I didn’t get enough sleep.”
“But now it’s different; I feel completely awake, no longer sleepy. I even feel that even if I don’t sleep for 2 to 3 days, I’ll still be fine.”
Bourban heard that and nodded repeatedly, while muttering: “Good, that’s too good, too good…”
“Dad… I want to hug you.”
“Ack!” Bourban was startled and quickly said: “You just woke up; your body may not be completely stable yet; you should lie down and rest a bit.”
“But… you should also hold my hand a little.” Sakuth spoke softly.
“This… Ah! I need to discuss with the young man who just saved you his reward. Sakuth, you should rest first; if you need anything, call a servant.” Bourban said.
“Alec, you follow me, I will give you the reward immediately.”
Alec frowned, feeling confused because Bourban’s expression was a bit strange. It seemed he was very afraid of Sakuth. No, even… Alec could sense that Bourban didn’t even want to touch Sakuth.
‘Huh! That’s good, my woman… No man can touch her, not even her father.’
Alec then looked towards Sakuth and smiled warmly: “Lady Sakuth, Earl Bourban is right; you should rest first; your body is still very weak.”
“After all, you have been asleep for a long time, and your body’s functions have not yet fully adapted to you waking up.”
“Don’t worry; after discussing the reward with your father, I will come back to check on your physical condition.”
“Really?” Sakuth asked a little happily.
“Of course.” Alec glanced at Sakuth’s beautiful face, his eyes slowly moving to her neck, then her chest, and finally… there.
His eyes were filled with greed, like a wolf looking at a white rabbit.
Then, Alec followed Bourban to the study. Bourban sat at the desk and motioned for Alec to sit across from him.
As soon as Alec sat down, Earl Bourban immediately took out a contract paper: “Alec, thank you for saving Sakuth; this is the contract transferring the Earl title that I have prepared; you can see it first. ”
“If there’s nothing that needs to be changed, you can just put your fingerprint on it. After that, my title will be transferred to you.”
Hearing that, Alec felt extremely excited. He picked up the contract and read it. Feeling that there was nothing strange, he wanted to put his fingerprint on it.
Of course, in this place, ink is not used for fingerprints; instead, magical energy is used to print fingerprints on contracts.
Alec’s finger was about to touch the contract when he suddenly raised his head. Seeing Bourban’s face full of excitement and anticipation, he felt strange.
“Wait! We just made a bet today; why did you prepare this contract in advance?”
Bourban: “…”
