Chapter 62 – Loli's Clinic
Two days later, at the original location of Old Parker's pharmacy, a brand new clinic quietly opened.

A sign hung at the entrance of the meticulously decorated clinic, which read:
[Specializing in difficult and complicated diseases, sprains and bruises, knife and gun injuries, insect and beast bites, starting at 1 copper coin]
Next to the clinic stood a giant stone statue, while inside sat a charming and beautiful demi-human girl.
She wore a brand new maid's long dress, leaning on the counter with her hands supporting her chin, watching the passersby with a warm smile on her lips.
This demi-human girl was Loli, and the stone statue was Saraken, sent by Sylvie to protect her.
Usually, it posed as an immobile statue beside the clinic.
At this moment, it was idly watching the streets of Winterfell City through its ghostly green eyes, muttering to itself in a voice only it could hear:
"Bugs! They're everywhere!"
"Damn it! Saraken hates bugs!"
...
Compared to before, the little maid Loli had grown half a head taller, from just over 1.5 meters to 1.6 meters. Although she still appeared petite and delicate, she no longer seemed as immature.
In the past two days, Sylvie had basically figured out Loli's skills through various tests.
Each of her skills was extremely practical and powerful, far surpassing any healing unit on the Kain Continent.
Sylvie even thought that even if the Saintess of the Holy See came, she would have to kneel and sing in submission when compared to Loli's healing power.
[Rain of Light]: A group healing skill, covering 20 people, with a recovery speed about twice that of a priest's healing spell.
A serious sword wound that would require a priest to cast a healing spell for ten minutes to fully heal, Loli could heal in just five minutes.
[Endless Vitality]: A very powerful single-target continuous healing ability, similar to directly applying a healing buff on the body.
With Loli's full exertion, it could achieve limb regeneration, something only the Water of Life and high-concentration Holy Water could accomplish.
[Spring Awakening]: Similar to a purification spell, it dispels diseases, negative effects, and curses.
[Holy Spirit's Protection]: A group shield, covering 10 people, which breaks after one immunity to death.
The effect is powerful, but it almost depletes more than half of Loli's natural energy.
The remaining passive skills are as their names imply, allowing communication with birds and beasts, control over plants, and emitting a refreshing floral fragrance from her entire body.
To help Loli gradually gain confidence and to slowly change the people's attitude towards demi-humans in Winterfell City, Sylvie helped Loli open this clinic in the name of the lord.
The fee standard is flexible, symbolically charging one copper coin from poor farmers, while wealthy merchants could be charged up to ten gold coins.
However, Sylvie made a three-point agreement with Loli, forbidding the casual use of the limb regeneration skill, and the clinic could only be open for one morning each day.
Limb regeneration consumes a lot of natural energy, and there are plenty of people missing limbs in Winterfell City. Healing them all would exhaust his little maid.
Sylvie is a selfish person, able to almost freely help the citizens in Winterfell City, not to mention that the one appearing is his closest person, which is already a great kindness.
Gratitude for a grain of rice, resentment for a bucket of rice. Loli's powerful limb regeneration ability is only used twice a day in the injury camp, and the soldiers' eyes must be covered.
The exquisite decoration, the tall statue, and the unique little clinic quickly attracted the attention of passersby.
When they saw that the one sitting inside was a demi-human girl, many showed expressions of shock and doubt.
People always hold skepticism and fear towards new things.
So, Sylvie, who had been observing in secret for a long time, invited Little Fatty's mother to act as a decoy for the little maid's clinic to open smoothly.
"Healer sister, can you take a look at my mother? She's been coughing for several days!"
A loud and anxious voice came from outside the crowd.
Hearing this, everyone made way for him, and soon they saw Little Fatty carefully helping his mother into the clinic.
He deliberately shouted loudly, which was a natural performance since his mother indeed had a severe lung disease.
Originally a bit nervous because no one had come for treatment, Loli immediately became delighted and quickly welcomed Little Fatty and his mother into the clinic.
Outside the clinic, murmurs of discussion arose among the onlookers.
"Isn't that the little fatty from Kritt's family?"
"Sigh, poor Aubrey, his father died in battle, and his mother is seriously ill. His mother's lung disease is known throughout the outer city."
"Do you think it can be cured?"
"What are you thinking? Even the priests couldn't do anything, can a demi-human girl manage it?"
"Old Parker is gone, and Aubrey is just desperately seeking a cure, sigh."
Moments later, someone in the crowd exclaimed:
"Hey! They're coming out, so soon!"
Everyone saw Little Fatty joyfully leading his mother out of the clinic.
They noticed that Aubrey's mother's previously haggard complexion had visibly improved.
"Aubrey, your mother is..."
"She's cured! She's cured!"
Little Fatty's small eyes squinted into slits with joy as he said with a smile:
"That pretty sister is amazing. She just raised her hand lightly, and a gentle white light fell on my mother. In no time, my mother felt much better, her lungs no longer hurt, and she's not coughing now."
Seeing everyone's eyes on her, Little Fatty's mother also smiled and nodded affirmatively at them.
"She really is cured?"
"Incredible!"
"May I ask, was the treatment expensive?"
After a brief shock, someone raised a question, and many others showed concern.
If it was like the previous Holy See priests, charging 100 gold coins for a healing spell, the clinic might as well not have opened.
"The pretty sister only charged us one copper coin."
"Really? Only one copper coin? How is that possible?"
"Of course it's true." Little Fatty unhappily pursed his lips and pointed at the sign outside the clinic:
"Isn't it written there? Starting at one copper coin."
After confirming several times, the crowd erupted, with some limping towards the clinic and others hurrying home.
"By the gods, I must quickly go back and inform the old man at home!"
"Great, great... My daughter can be saved this time, I'll go back to the town and bring her over first..."
...
"Please line up properly, don't push."
"Everyone will have a chance to be treated, don't worry."
At this time, a long line had formed outside the clinic, with a group of guards temporarily recruited by Sylvie maintaining order in front of the clinic. This task wasn't entrusted to Saraken, otherwise, every citizen would have run away.
Inside the clinic, Loli was busy. Although a few drops of sweat were on her forehead, her face was adorned with a happy and warm smile.
In front of her sat a middle-aged man sweating profusely, grimacing in pain.
This man was a hunter living in the outer city. He was attacked by a magic wolf while hunting in the mountains this morning and barely managed to crawl down the mountain alive, but his condition was still dire, with seven or eight bite wounds and numerous abrasions.
Without a priest's treatment, the magic wolf's bites alone could have been fatal.
As a gentle white light fell on him, his wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the magical pain caused by the magic wolf was disappearing.
The middle-aged hunter was shocked, examining his previously blood-dripping arms and thighs, and couldn't help but exclaim:
"Healed! Haha, I'm healed!"
"Um... Miss, is the treatment really just one copper coin?"
The middle-aged hunter looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, asking incredulously.
"Yes, one copper coin is enough."
Loli nodded with a smile, bending down to take a tray from the table behind her, and cheerfully handed it to the old hunter.
In the tray, there were already more than a dozen copper coins scattered around.
...
At the gates of Winterfell City.
The round-faced Fat Hen, wearing a simple mage's robe, stood at the foot of the tall and majestic city walls.
Looking at the magnificent city gate, the fierce guards, and the magic cannons glowing with mysterious magical light, she couldn't hide her excitement and shock, murmuring:
"So this is Winterfell City? Finally arrived!"
