Chapter 718: "A Walking Elixir"

[The cure…] Ainsley furrowed her eyebrows at this word. She racked her brain, trying to see a solution, but she just couldn't. 

[Can we get help from the healers? Can't healers heal those sick because of viruses?] Ainsley asked this to the Godfather, and the spirit shook his head.

[Healers can heal internal and external wounds, broken bones, damaged muscle tissues, blood vessels, and so on, but can't cure illness. They can't even cure a simple cold or fever.] 

Healers weren't omnipotent. If they could cure illness as they wished, there would be no need for doctors and special doctors. 

[What about the doctors? If the healers can't, special doctors with doctor-related ability users should be able to cure our people?] 

Sadly the Godfather shook his head. 

[Special doctors aren't omnipotent too. They can cure a lot of illnesses depending on their expertise. Some with rare abilities can even cure cancer, but viruses...that is another matter.] 

And that's why epidemics or pandemics have always been the government's focus. Human governments, even other non-human races, were also wary of viruses. 

There were a lot of cases where non-human races got infected with an unknown virus from the wild, and the race almost got wiped out because of the virus. 

Thankfully, humans didn't have any direct contact with non-human races, and that's also one of the reasons why each race didn't mix and guard each other's territories. 

They didn't want a pandemic to kill countless races just because of one race getting infected by an unknown virus coming from their unusual environment. 

Some even said that monsters and beasts could spread unknown viruses too. 

Thankfully, contracted beasts and monsters were basically safe from viruses thanks to the bond with their masters. 

But wild ones...they're not only dangerous because they're wild and unstoppable, but because they could carry viruses. 

[In the end, only an elixir can completely cure an illness, no matter if it's caused by a virus or not. Elixir can cure all kinds of illnesses. There's no illness that an elixir can't cure.] 

The Godfather mentioned the Godly medicine above all kinds of potions and pills– the elixir. 

Elixir could come in two forms, either liquid or ball-like pills. However, all people know that finding an elixir is even more complicated than prolonging one's lifespan.
