Mixed Blessing System



When Helmut left the Ritter residence, Viktoria looked at Elke as they walked back into that house and asked. "Who is this doctor? Will he be able to help my mother and sister?"

"I think so... He is a Saint," Elke said as her lips arched, showing her beautiful teeth.

"Saint?" Viktoria frowned, staring at Elke.

But then she heard someone else standing there in the doorway of her residence.

"I'll take care of everything now, dear..."

When Lothur said this, Viktoria immediately looked in the direction of the main hallway of this residence, thinking she had imagined her man's voice.

But as she looked at that man, she immediately realized she was not imagining anything.

He really was there!

"Lothur!" She shouted as she ran toward him, seeking his arms.

Lothur smiled and felt his wife's body. "You missed me, huh? Don't worry. I will take care of you from now on."

[Name: Viktoria Frost]

[Soul Cultivation: level 16]

[Body Cultivation: level 15]

[STR: 229.9] [CON: 411] [DEX: 235.8] [AGI: 235.1]

[INT: 384] [PER: 189.1] [WIL: 203] [SOU: 467.9]

Lothur looked at his wife's status and noted that she should reach level 17 of soul cultivation in no more than a few days.

Considering that he was now there to take care of her needs, this could happen faster, and she might even be able to advance the level of her body cultivation!

'Viktoria is really talented...' He thought as he felt his clothes getting wet where Viktoria was supporting his face.

"Lothur, you don't know what we had to go through in your absence..." She said as she collapsed into her man's arms.

"We were so worried about you... But still, we were doing our best to continue training and developing the Ritter family as you wanted." She said, sobbing. "But then several spectres appeared on my family's property.

My father died that day, but I couldn't even give him a proper rest because I didn't have enough power to get rid of the spectre in his body.

My mother is badly injured, and Anna has been in a deep sleep since she lost her baby..."

Lothur heard this and closed his eyes, breathing deeply.

"I see... So she has lost the baby."

Lothur was sad to hear that, but he couldn't help but worry more about Annaliese's mental state.

He wanted to have that child, but for a father, it was not so easy to connect with an unborn child. For the mother, it was something totally different, so the weight of the news for Lothur did not compare to what Annaliese must feel.

That's why he worried twice as much about her!

"Don't worry. I'll sort everything out now that I'm here." He said in a low voice. "Shall we take a look at the two?"

"Hmm..." She nodded as she wiped the tears from her face.

With that, the three of them went to the room where Annaliese and Mabel were.

When they got there again, Lothur immediately saw the situation of the two women with his visual ability.

Annaliese did not have any worrisome problems in her body. She just needed some encouragement to overcome the mental barrier in front of her.

In a way, her state was similar to a creature trying not to face a problem, forcing itself into hibernation mode.

As for Mabel, her case was more serious. She had several internal injuries, her own soul powers were destabilized, and some of her spiritual nerves were broken.

Spiritual nerves were structures through which a cultivator's soul power circulated within their body.

The importance of this spiritual part was extreme since cultivators needed to direct their energies to different parts of the body when doing activities.

For example, the activation of techniques usually occurred through the hands, where cultivators usually used weapons or controlled their techniques. So if one lost the spiritual nerves of the hands, a cultivator might be unable to reuse that technique after the trauma.

Not only that but to fly, run, to do various other things, spiritual nerves were needed.

If one didn't want to live as a mortal, preserving these structures was essential!

A single broken one could already turn a cultivator into a cripple!

Seeing this, Lothur didn't say anything at first but couldn't contain his thoughts. 'That's really sad, but considering the kind of person you were, I'm not sure you didn't deserve this...

It's just a shame that Aiken died. Of the two of you, he was the only one who didn't deserve that.'

Lothur had already heard from Elke exactly how the battle that day had happened and how Aiken had fought Mabel while possessed by a spectre.

He sighed and said. "I can awaken Anna immediately. As for your mother, her case is complicated."

Viktoria clenched her fists as she felt a tightening in her heart. "Lothur, please help her. If not for her, for me." She begged.

"It's not that I don't want to help her. It's that some of her spiritual nerves are broken... I'm sorry to say, but I doubt she will be able to use several of her abilities in the future."

"It can't be..."

"That is if there is no way to restore those nerves." Lothur only had medical knowledge to the degree of 3-star.

There were no methods of regenerating spiritual nerves for doctors up to that level.

But without knowledge beyond that, he didn't rule out the possibility that one day he might achieve enough to help his mother-in-law.

"But even if there is, I can't currently do anything about it. It's above my knowledge." He said without letting his resentment for Mabel get in the way of his judgment.

"So what can you do for her?" Elke asked as Viktoria went blank, unable to say anything.

"I can solve her other problems. End the risks to her life and wake her up. But that will take a few days.

I have to produce several pills and potions for her, things that, at the moment, I don't have the ingredients with me."

Viktoria then stepped forward and said. "Thank you, Lothur. That's enough for now. If you can restore her spiritual nerves one day, that will be perfect, but saving her life at the moment is crucial."

"Hmmm." He nodded before folding up the sleeves of his shirt and sitting in a chair.

He then began to write everything on a piece of paper.

"Here are the herbs, plants, and minerals needed for your mother's treatment. Look for these and bring them to me." He said as he handed that paper to Viktoria. "Try to prioritize what is at the top of the list. Those are ingredients needed to end the risk of death."
