Considering Abel''s importance, the Favonis would just be getting themselves into trouble if they upset him.


    What if Abel simply up and left? Who would they go to at that point-Frank Lawrence?


    Nheless, Abel zoned out for a moment. "Zamri, you say?"


    He was naturally aware that Frank had been staying in Zamri recently but was afraid to confirm it as he could see the Favonis'' attitude.


    He nodded, putting aside the questions he had as he remained curious-there were plenty of people in Zamri but not that many who could strut in the Favonis'' own turf.


    "Hehe. This way please, Mr. Loggins." Chet Favoni led Abel through into a traditionally decorated cottage.


    As soon as the doors opened, the oing scent of medicinal herbs was so strong that Abel''s nostrils twitched.


    "Hmm? Drakedrool, cranepore..."


    As Abel quickly identified over ten natural wonders urately, Chet and Edon''s smiles visibly broadened.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    One could really easily tell if a person was an expert-the man certainly inspired confidence, identifying the herbs just from the scent.


    "Your reputation is deserved, Mr. Loggins," Chet promptly praised. "We''ve spent a fortune buying those herbs to brew an elixir to keep Jaden alive."


    On the other hand, Lubor remained perfectly calm.


    Being a member of Hundred Bane Sect, he knew better than anyone how terrible the Soulbleeder could be.


    Forget Abel-even the best healers of Draconia could not save Jaden even if they were all here.


    As such, he strode in, folded his arms before his chest as he leaned against the doorway, watching gleefully as events unfolded.


    "Don''t pin all your hopes on me just yet," Abel said humbly just then. "There are people who are better than me across Draconia, and I can only do my best." In fact, he never came specifically to help Jaden.


    He simply encountered a handful of unusual illnesses that he could not handle and wanted to consult Frank.


    However, going to him directly was a little impolite, and after asking around, he found out about the duel between Jaden and Frank.


    And since he had some time on his


    hands, he would like to use the


    Favonis as a springboard to me


    Frank in Zamri, by getting the

    Favonis to owe Frank a favor. en.swhovels


    Frank was way above the Favonis'' weight ss anyway.


    Meanwhile, the Favonis were all shaking their heads.


    "Oh, you''re being too humble now, Mr. Loggins."


    "We know that you''re the most illustrious healer in Draconia, and even the Four Families of Morhen regrly consult you."


    "If you can''t save Jaden, no one in Draconia can," Chet added.


    Abel listened to the praise, stroking his beard and shook his beard too.


    "You tter me Mr. Favoni, but that really isn''t the case." He smiled at Chet. "Not many are aware, but I


    have a mentor, and my skills and et


    knowledge in medicine pale inparison to his. If you''d ask him, I''m sure he''d save your son with no uncertainty."


    He kept things mysterious, just to get the Favonis'' interest in Frank.


    "What? There''s such a miracle


    worker in Draconia too?!" Chet eximed in astonishment, but he immediately presumed Abel''s mentor to be some reclusive hermit. en.swhovels


    And if Abel failed, they might really have to consult him.


    "Well, let me see the patient for now..." Abel said.


    He was just mentioning the possibility of consulting Frank, but he knew he should not get ahead of himself either.


    Walking up, he found Jaden being soaked in a bathtub filled with a pale green elixir.


    The elixir was keeping Jade alive, but ck fluid was still seeping out of his lips and nostrils.
