Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

In an abandoned city in a small country, countless homeless people swarmed up as the help and ration from the Holy Dragon Empire had arrived and were being facilitated by the army.

"Don't push. Everyone will receive their share. Just line up properly so that we can distribute them faster." In an open area among the ruins, several wooden tables were placed accordingly, where large pots full of hot porridge rested on them. At the same time, three beautiful women were serving the porridge to the civilians that formed a long line. The people were delighted that on top of the hot meal that they could eat, they were being served by gorgeous and kind-hearted ladies.

"Sabina, look at all these people. They're wearing such shabby clothes when the winter is around the corner. They might get sick later on. Shouldn't we prepare some warm clothes for them?" a woman in blue, who looked so dignified and graceful, asked the woman in white.

"Oh, right! I almost forgot. Thanks for reminding me, Lucilla. I was about to ask Commander Li about it, but it slipped off my mind after we got busy preparing for the food. We really need to request the Holy Dragon Empire to bring some warm clothes for the people here," the woman in white replied.

These two women were none other than Sabina and Lucilla. They were part of the group that was sent

n, the old man took out three plants of Elsholtzia communis from the medicine basket behind him.

When Commander Li was about to get the plants from the old man, he was immediately stopped by Sabina, signaling him that she would do it herself. All this time, she couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something suspicious about the old man. Thus, when she took the herbs from him, she deliberately looked at his face under the bamboo hat. Although she couldn't clearly see his look clearly, she vaguely saw a wrinkled old face.

"Thank you." Sabina then shifted her gaze away from the old man with furrowed brows. She was still somewhat confused, but she also thought that she might just be looking too much into it.

After taking the herbs, Sabina asked someone to pour the hot water into the huge bucket. Then, she placed all the herbs inside to soak them all in. Soon after, they placed the child into the bucket and submerged his skin into the water.

Just as the old man said, in less than fifteen minutes, the boy's plague-like symptoms had begun fading away, and his skin gradually cleared up.

"He's cured! It really is not the plague!" Shirley shouted, elated by the outcome of the procedure.

Seeing this, Sabina immediately turned towards the old man to thank him, only to find out that he had already disappeared.
