Syllis and Bellerine quickly walked outside of my shadows, alongside most of the rabbit-kin.
We were greeted by my group of friends, things seemed to have gone fine and there were no problems whatsoever.
“Here they are, all the cute rabbits have been retrieved successfully! Side quest completed! Now give me my prize.” I said while puffing my chest.
“Your prize is a kiss.” Said Lucifer with a smile.
“W-Wait, I was joking! Don’t get closer, Casanova!” I cried.
“I-I was joking…” sighed Lucifer.
“Oh! Ah, I am still getting used to you having a new sense of humor…” I said.
“I can tell…” said Lucifer.
“I can give you one for real!” said Partner with a cute smile, showing her sharp vampiric fangs, her crimson-red eyes were sparkling brightly.
“M-Me too… If you don’t mind…” said Emeraldine, she was blushing while caressing her long hair nervously.
“Why are you all so horny for Maria? Stop with your degeneracy…” sighed Catarina.
“Hahaha… W-Well, you girls can save that for later… Now we got a lot to do, Emeraldine, I need your help the most, you’re the greatest alchemist in this entire camp, so you’re our salvation and only hope.” I said.
“E-Eeeh? Me?” she asked timidly.
Emeraldine was the chosen one after all, she was a powerful Alchemist and the chosen one for this task, I wanted her to do this for me, she had a high-level Alchemy Skill, and could become the one that could do the potions that I want, potions that would work like vaccines in some sort of way, giving the people antibodies for whatever disease they have!
Wouldn’t that be great? But can she do it? There’s no other way than trying it out and giving it a shot though, so no point in going around it pointlessly, we’ll do this, and we’ll do it good.
My people, the many former slaves, which were primary led by the Goblin Chief, quickly welcomed the Rabbit-kin, while I separated all those that presented the disease, so it wouldn’t spread anymore. I would also need the rabbit-kin to be on quarantine for the moment, so after they greeted the people from afar, I quickly moved them to another side of the camp.
I left them in enclosed camps by themselves, and only used Undead to serve them. Undead can be easily cleansed using Disinfect, and they’re naturally immune to diseases anyways, although they can carry them.
But not phantasmal Undead! So the pair of fire ghosts and also my snake clones were the ones that brought them food and other things they needed. The people felt welcomed, and after explaining them what quarantine was, they quickly agreed to my methods, although they seemed a bit too much, it was something that I had to do.
After they understood I didn’t wanted the disease to spread, they nodded and decided to do as I asked them, they quickly moved away into the camps and now, I had gathered with my friends for a small meeting where I would discuss what I wanted to do.
Syllis was here, as the sole representant of the village, the Elder that used to be the leader is sick and bedridden, in another separate and quarantined camp, so he wasn’t able to be here.
Partner, Lucifer, Emeraldine, Catarina, Silvio, Francesco, The Goblin Chief, and the Goblin Elder, alongside Syllis were within this table. I had already disinfected Syllis, and his sister was left in the quarantined camp, so she was afar from her brother, but she understood it was for the best after he told her, she was a stubborn girl, but she always listens to her brother.
“So the plan is to make a medicine for the disease, we’ll use whatever is left from the medicinal herbs we got, although I would love to save some… so we’ll only use half.” I said.
“Hm, it seems reasonable, we cannot simply sacrifice all the materials for strangers we just meet.” Said Lucifer.
“But what other materials will we use? If you want me to make a potion out of it, it will take way more than just herbs…” sighed Emeraldine.
“Yeah, we are going to sue these things.” I said.
I quickly summoned a semi-transparent sphere of phantom which had a floating, red-colored organ floating inside.
“W-What is that thing?!” asked Lucifer.
“This is a Spider’s Liver, they got a lot of organs inside their abdomen, the liver and the pancreas are where most of the antibodies originate, so we’ll use this and that one too…” I said.
Honestly speaking, I never thought spiders had these many organs, I think they’re actually different from the normal spiders from my original Earth, that’s for sure.
“Anyways, we’ll use these to make the potions. I’ve read a lot of potion-making books I stole from the library long ago to pass the time, although I didn’t find anything regarding these spiders, I found many recipes using the internal organs of magic beasts or well, as everyone call them now, monsters.” I said.
“Oh right! I remember that too… So you mean we could use the internal organs of the monsters that carry the disease to fight against it? Makes sense! This recipe is also used for Mist Fox Rabies… I remember that there was a big infection in a town I was living with my mother back then… the Alchemist that taught me what I know asked some people to bring her the corpses of these foxes, and she made a potion capable of curing the disease…” said Emeraldine.
“See? Then it can work!” I said.
“Hmm, certainly, it is worth giving it a shot.” Said Lucifer.
“I agree, it could be a good way to experiment, if we ever come across another disease in the future…” said the Goblin Elder.
“Though, are there enough ingredients to make so many potions for all the rabbit? We should also make for the rest of the people, if anyone happens to get the disease… there were spiders that attacked us recently after all…” said the Goblin Chief.
“Yeah, we got a lot of spider corpses… I hunted 18 myself in the way here…” I said.
