BXBX NOVEL Chapter 62 A Good Harvest
I quickly used my hands and gave a quick massage to the woman\'s back and shoulder, which was infused with Life Infusion, First Aid, and Qi.
FLASH!
"Ooh!"
The elderly woman\'s entire body began to flow with a golden glow, the little black cat spirit with her seemed more energetic too, reflecting her recovery.
This black cat seemed like a recon spirit. It seemed to be able to meld in shadows, an interesting spirit, but the elderly woman mostly uses it as company for her.
"Do you feel better?" I wondered.
"Yes… You\'re such a miraculous child, please take this!" the woman said, giving me a few silver coins, three spirit orbs, and a bag of potatoes.
"Thank you for your help, my family will really appreciate it." I said.
"I-It\'s nothing! You\'re such a nice kid… what you did to me would had cost a fortune, but you just accept any compensation… I wish I could give you more…" she sighed.
"Don\'t worry, this is more than enough. My mother is pregnant and my father is wounded, so the two cannot work, I have to somehow find food, your potatoes are appreciated." I said.
"Oh my, you\'re such a hardworking child… Take care, dear." Said the elderly woman, petting my head and walking away back to her home.
Success, it appears we got a lot of potatoes, these will feed us well through the week, this woman was rather generous. Acting good and like a saint really adds up to the charm of a "miraculous savior child" or whatever.
I continued walking around the village while picking up people that required my help. In the poorest places is where the priests never stepped in, so the people there were in most aid and I wouldn\'t get involved with them either, it was a win-win for me.
I ended helping an old hunter get his leg fixed, which was wounded from the bite of a wolf. I healed the fever of a toddler, helped a young woman regain her taste senses by stimulating her tongue taste buds with Qi and then healing them with magic and First Aid, fixed the back of an old man, healed the wounded back of a hunter who was attacked by a wild boar, and more.
After all of that work, I ended with more than I thought, dozens of Spirit Orbs, animal pelt, meat, vegetables, fruits, milk, wool, and some silver coins, there was an old woman that gave me a gold coin too.
This was a rather good harvest. Perhaps one of the best days of the week, I\'ve been doing this daily now, and it has helped supply my family with stuff. Due to this, my popularity as a Savior has increased.
I don\'t know how long I can keep this up, but I will take the weekend off from my Savior duties to cool down the popularity and make the priests less restless over me.
I don\'t know yet what they truly want out of me, but there might be some ideas, such as them wanting to recruit me as a priest or even send me to some weird priest school. Forcing me to work for them using the church as a pretext, or even asking me for all the rewards I\'ve gathered saying that I\'ve been taking them while faking to be a herald of the holy spirits, there are many things.
Thankfully in this era, people cannot easily just register the face of someone and share it around, so I am a mysterious kid, and I can use the Tier 1 Illusion-Attribute Magic "Fake Appearance" to slightly change my face. Even if very slightly, I will always look different to the people, so my original face would be even harder to discern.
Of course, they recognize me because it is well known that the Savior Child has a golden aura around him, which I produce with magic, if I take it out, there\'s no need to worry about that.
It is all meticulously elaborated, but it works, and that\'s what matters.
"You\'re really becoming more popular…" said Eleanora.
"You think so?" I asked.
Eleanora has been watching me my goody-two-shoes job from within my spirit orb all this time, and she had conflicting emotions over it. But as long as I explained to her it was because of the benefits and not because I was actually having some sort of hero complex, she felt more relieved…
"Oh well, as long as you don\'t do it for free… It is fine, you help your family with it too." Said Eleanora.
"Of course, I want payment for what I do, there\'s nothing free in this world after all." I said with a smirk.
When I came back home, I surprised my mother, my grandmother, and Erika there with a big haul of items and food which I poured over the table from my Dimensional Storage Bag, which I had been upgrading slowly, adding more runes, so it has more slots.
"Wooow! So many things! Wait, is that an eggplant?! Let\'s put this one in the oven, Mary!" said my grandmother. She liked eggplants.
"So many potatoes and carrots… I guess we won\'t starve at all thanks to the generosity of the people…" said my mother.
"Ah! An apple!" said Erika.
"The people seem very fond of the Savior Child," I said rather cynically.
"To think my son would become such a figure…" said my mother.
"And all those that spoke bad behind our backs because we welcomed Erika are now swallowing their words too, gyahaha!" laughed my grandmother.
"Blake this is amazing…" said Erika.
"It\'s nothing much." I said with a prideful smile.
After sorting out everything, we had dinner together with father, who managed to come out of bed as he had been feeling better now.
And tonight… I was going out for a true hunt. I\'ve been craving for more Blood Qi for a while.
I want to see if I can find any clues about the demons too, if possible.
