《Epic of The Demonic Sage 》Chapter 129: Considering
Advertisement
Lucius couldn't help but raise his eyes upon hearing the cost. Six thousand gold coins were a rather large amount that even he barely had right now. He was now wondering whether this would be viable or not.
"Hmm, I'd like to see Finch first if you don't mind," Lucius spoke.
He reckoned that seeing her actual condition might help him better and give him a proper idea of what was the actual problem. Lucius definitely had a lot more knowledge than most people in this world.
He thought that he might be able to find a better solution to the problem, which might even be cheaper than the current one. If it really did turn out to be six thousand gold coins, he may need to double think this.
"Sure, Young Lord Asher. You can come with us to see her." Gellor agreed right away.
To him and his companion, Lucius coming to check up on their companion was nothing but assuring them of getting the money for the treatment. Thankfully, what they did not know would not hurt them… for now.
"When do you want to visit her, Lord Asher?" Gellor questioned.
Lucius thought over it and remembered his schedule. There was still a little more than an hour left until his lessons with John. He was originally going to spend this time in reading in the library, but he reckoned it could be used for this.
"Let's go there right away," Lucius answered.
"As you wish, Lord Asher," Gellor replied straight away, feeling content at the responsiveness of Lucius.
Gellor and his companion left the mansion, and Lucius followed behind them on horseback. They soon reached a small hospital that was located about ten minutes away from the mansion's location.
Lucius had seen this hospital many times before, as it was on the main path that led to the mansion.

'Doesn't Healer Delia work here too?' Lucius remembered.
The resident healer of the Inanis family was Healer Delia, while the one who had taken care of Lucius when he was paralyzed was Healer Peron. Healer Peron was called from another town to take care of Lucius and did not work in this city particularly.
The only reason why healer Peron was called instead of Healer Delia was because Healer Delia's gift worked on cuts and open wounds, while Healer Peron's gift worked on internal wounds.
He was also knowledgeable about the internal injuries along with paralysis and thus was the preferred person for the job. Healer Delia usually did not have much work in the Inanis family as there was rarely anyone getting injured, except for the guards.
Thus, the Count had permitted her to work at her clinic and the city hospital. The clinic was even closer to the mansion than the hospital and was often more busy than the hospital itself. People only went to the hospital if they were severely injured and needed long term bedside care.
Lucius and the rest came to a stop at the entrance of the hospital and saw the line of people waiting there.
"We can just go in since we are here to visit," Gellor said.
He took the lead and directly entered through the secondary door and the rest followed him. Lucius did the same and upon entering saw a similar look to the hospital he had seen in the Dowland city.
There was a desk at the front and a male receptionist was sitting there. Though looking at it Lucius could tell that the man was a nurse as well, or perhaps a junior healer. The difference between a nurse and a healer was also uniform in this world.

If a person had a healing type gift and they wanted to enter the field of medicine, they would become a healer. While if a person did not have a healing gift and still wanted to enter the field of medicine, they would become a nurse instead.
"We're here to see Finch," Gellor spoke to the receptionist.
"Oh, it's you guys. You can go ahead then, you should know where she is by now." The receptionist replied.
It was evident that Gellor and the rest had come here enough times that the workers here were now used to seeing them. Gellor simply nodded his head and turned in the direction of the inner wards.
"Please come with me, Young lord Asher." Gellor spoke.
They then walked for a few meters before entering one of the smaller wards to the right. In there, Lucius could see about six beds and a couple of healers working on the patients. There were also a few nurses taking care of the patients.
The entry of several people was quickly noticed by the healers inside and it seemed like they recognized Gellor and his companions too.
"Young Lord Asher?" An Old Woman's voice spoke.
"Greetings, Healer Delia." Lucius spoke.
"Why have you come here? Are you sick?" Delia instantly went into concerned mode.
She was the resident healer of the Inanis family and thus needed to care for them first. If she was called in the middle of treating someone else, she would probably leave right away as well. Thus she wondered why Lucius himself had come here, when he could have simply called for her.
"Oh, I'm fine myself. Actually, I'm here to see someone else." Lucius replied.
"You are, who?" Delia asked, but then her gaze went to Gellor and his companions. "Is it Finch?" She guessed.
"Indeed, healer Delia." Lucius replied.
Delia furrowed her brows but did not question him. She simply moved the curtains of the bed to her right and revealed the person who was lying in there.
It was a woman who seemed to be in her mid twenties and Lucius recognized her to be none other than Finch. But her current condition was indeed quite bad, as Gellor had stated. There were bandages all over her body that were red with blood, and burns could also be seen on her limbs.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
