Note: Well, these chapters could be considered just a test. From now on, there will be no dramas since I'm not good at that XD.

========

In an alleyway illuminated by the glow of red street lamps, the sprawled figure of a girl could be seen.

Her eyes were tightly closed, and, were it not for the contractions of her beautiful but dirty face, one would say she was fast asleep. Her fluttering hair danced in the wind as she moved across the floor.

Beneath the girl was a strange substance. A golden, gelatinous substance that served as a slippery platform.

*Swoosh!

A gale blew past, causing some cracks to appear in the walls of the dwellings. A dark silhouette revealed itself to the front, and, as if sensing a connection, the substance twisted and twisted out from under the girl before shooting out towards the silhouette.

Adler aimed at the remaining stump, and the gelatinous substance, writhing, could attach itself to her missing arm.

"There's still a chance to save her...". Adler loaded Emily gently into a princess bag.

After unfolding a holographic map in his field of vision, he marked a location—the golden linear trace linked to a point on the other side of the Babel tower.

Adler stomped his foot and soared skyward. With each leap, he flew over the rooftops of a few houses. Although it attracted quite a bit of attention from the adventurers, Adler didn't mind.

Since the city was quite large, with his speed, it took him a good few minutes to reach the other end of the city. He passed by the location of the Tower of Babel, the guild, the "Northwest Shop of the Hephaestus Family" and stopped in front of the "Pharmacy of the Dian Cecht Family."

A large building made of smooth white stones. Above the door hung a sign with the name "Dian Cecht" and its respective symbol, composed of an orb of light surrounded by grass.

Most of the families were of the exploration type. However, there were also other types of Families, such as the business type, the industrial type, the medical type, and even the national type.

And as the name on the sign at the entrance suggested, the Dian Cecht Family was of the medical type, as it had a pharmacy in which it sold potions and related items, such as prosthetics, which were highly prized in the "Dark Ages" of Orario.

Adler entered the interior of the building, well lit by the glowing pearls embedded in the ceiling. Several shelves stretched across the room. On them could be seen different glass containers filled with thick liquids that were unpleasant to the eye.

Behind the counter in the center of the room sat a beautiful girl with somewhat wavy white hair. Her clothing consisted essentially of a white and blue suit with some yellow trim. On top of her white hair, she wore a white cap with gold trim.

The sound of hurried footsteps caused her to raise her expressionless face.

Her purple eyes roamed over the unknown hooded figure before lowering her gaze to the wounded and bloodied woman lying unconscious on the stranger's arm.

The girl stood up and introduced herself, "Welcome to the Dian Cecht family pharmacy. I am Airmid Teasananare, the captain and chief medical officer of the Dian Cecht Family."

"..."

Airmid paused for a moment and realized that the stranger was ignoring her. The hooded head moved from side to side as if searching for something.

"I see the girl is in critical condition. You have chosen a good place to treat her, as I am the best healer in Orario. Please follow me." Airmid turned around and headed towards the door of a room. A room that was mainly used to treat patients.
