It wasn’t difficult to travel across the rocky mountain path with the royal guards guiding Truen. The journey took almost two weeks to get to the borders of Rocket Mountain and the archer didn’t know why the master crafter would choose to flee to the borders near Mystic meadows. It was all the way the other side of Magnus Hilda and hardly anybody settled here apart from adventurers brave enough to go to Mystic Meadows for a quest. The town that Dorgon was hiding in was a small one called Geode Town.…-

With the introduction of delicious food and a more balanced diet, the number of patients that Zero had to see became fewer by the days. Truen still wasn’t back but he sent word that he finally met the elusive master crafter. Dorgon Flintstock wasn’t willing to return so easily and Truen explained that there might be delays for his return. The old dwarf wasn’t being forthright with his requests so the archer had to slowly pry it from his mouth in a polite manner. Zero was pleased that everyone was…

Zero decided to show his sincerity to apologise for the trouble he had caused Rocket Mountain in his moment of fury. Hence, he announced that he was going to cook a feast and ordered that none of the chefs could help him out but they were more than welcomed to observe. Naturally, Zero was also hoping to bribe the royal family and gain their favour so that the process of registering him as an adventurer would be easier at the later part. Needless to say, when they heard that the healer was going to…

It took Zero three days to finally arrange a private audience with the princess. King Darius had been petrified when Zero made a request to see the princess alone in the salon for a chat. Even the chancellor started to plead on behalf of their princess and Zero had to spend hours convincing them that he wasn’t angry anymore. After talking to the King and the chancellor about why he lost his cool and why he wanted to keep his adventurer ranking a secret despite his frightening ability, they were…

It was late and Zero was tired. After a week of tutoring Princess Dorothy, he was starting to understand the difficulties of a teacher. Hua Tuo must be the world’s best teacher and Zero found himself respecting his shifu even more now that he understood how difficult it was to be a teacher. Initially, Princess Dorothy would cling onto Zero’s every word and did her best to cultivate. Zero didn’t seem to see anything wrong with it until he found out that the princess had been doing more than what he…

Nobody knew what was going on behind closed doors. Zero asked the royal kitchen to prepare Princess Dorothy’s favourite dessert and follow his secret diet recipe. King Darius was slightly worried but he decided to leave and place his faith in the elven healer. The chancellor didn’t say anything and only greeted Zero a good morning. He saw the bills that Zero submitted to the administration department but chose not to comment about them. While Zero wasn’t overcharging for his services, the chancellor…

Zero was half-worried and half anxious about the princess’ decision. While he had high faith that the princess would come to find him, the doctor still couldn’t focus on the task at hand. Thankfully, most of the patients looking for a doctor suffered from the usual things. Zero didn’t have to focus fully and called a Parallel Mind to take over while he brooded alone in his mindscape. Truen seemed to be doing well and got along easily with the dwarven guards. The elf learnt that dwarves were a lot…

Tea arrived and Zero took time to talk to the princess, easing her into the more difficult topics after gaining her trust and admiration. The doctor soon found out that Princess Dorothy was actually a smart girl who just wasn’t exposed to the world thanks to her overprotective family. The lady was a good age of twenty and was considered rather young for a dwarf. However, she inherited her mother’s intelligence and would have been a very capable ruler if not for the fact that her father caged her in the…

To say that Zero was nervous would be an understatement. Truen spent two days enjoying the luxuries that the palace had to offer before disappearing like the wind to find Dorgon Flintstock. Zero had the pleasure and displeasure of talking to King Darius who was worried and highly concerned over his daughter’s behaviour that he ranted for four long hours that included bragging about how cute and amazing Princess Dorothy was. Truen was nowhere in sight when that happened and Zero promised to pay his best…

Sadly, the foolish king didn’t die. In fact, he proved that the potion was a genuine thing. Nobody knew how King Darius would look like if he slimmed down but when he finally did, the maids of the palace were swinging over the good looking unknown man. The chancellor hated to say it but King Darius was actually quite the looker when he slimmed down. Pity, the slimming potion’s effect did not last forever. It wore off after a day. Reluctantly, the chancellor called for the two envoys to come back…
