What kind of b88dac6fbd comfort suits a cc56ee0b40 hero who has 8192341a35 lost everything?5c5774ecc259fcbd

Eddie, once addicted 3d510e642e to web novels, 73586b1e7b had a few 41a83eb23d impressive and touching 410be0fed8 scenes in mind, 8e23b56a17 but those were 131945e06e actions only characters 10eec74b62 with deep bonds 410f43392c with the protagonist f266facc92 could take.64f7aa4527be312c

The man, whose 25dff7b3e8 solitary sorrow had 4eb038cbf0 been interrupted, sat 96483cb7f2 in the inn, f7e7e9505a lost in a c1b36670a1 whirlwind of confused aa5ea286f8 emotions, and eventually 9208baf605 chose to sink d8114243ba into a dull 56b0ebe82f stillness, as if db376ff1b8 he had given 0773fd06e9 up searching for daceeecc9a a way out.14097ac30cfb169d

Having read the novel, Eddie knew how many life-threatening situations Ketron had faced and how often he’d been injured, but that didn’t mean the injuries didn’t hurt.60020c389608a5a6

He wasn’t a doctor, and he hadn’t examined the wound, but even to him, Ketron’s injuries looked like those of someone with festering wounds. If there were any medicines in the store, they would surely help.15e7eca27457d036

Using holy water from the temple would be ideal, but it was a luxury for nobles, and Eddie, a not-so-successful innkeeper, couldn’t afford it.a04f17bebe0dd60d

So, finding a local doctor would be wise, but the surgeons of this era were more like “You’re in pain because of the wound! So, let’s remove the wound!”—not someone he wanted to approach.d8a33fa510fcf28c
