"Hello Miss Barbara, I am Collei, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Barbara had a gentle smile on her face and said softly, "Hello, Collei, it's a pleasure to meet you."
As a Healing Nun of the Knights of Favonius Church, Barbara was not only skilled at using Hydro Element to treat various external injuries, but she also had extensive research on various diseases.
Therefore, the moment she saw Collei, Barbara sensed that Collei's health condition might not be very good.
What kind of ordeal could have caused such a well-behaved and adorable child to suffer such torment? A shadow fell over Barbara's heart.
Although she was in a bad mood, Barbara did not show it. She knew this was not Collei's fault, so she naturally would not take it out on Collei. Instead, she felt great pity for Collei, the victim.
"Amber, Collei, as a Healing Nun of the Knights of Favonius Church, I have considerable experience in treating illnesses. Collei's physical condition doesn't seem very good. If you need my treatment, please don't be shy."
"Amber's friends are my friends, and I am very happy to help friends."
As an Outrider of the Knights of Favonius, Amber had many friends in Mondstadt due to her fiery enthusiasm.
Her friendship with Barbara originated from when Amber learned about the conflict between Acting Grand Master Jean and Barbara, hoping to help the two sisters reconcile.
Although the sisters ultimately did not reconcile, Amber became friends with Barbara because of it.
Furthermore, because of Barbara, Amber also befriended many young nuns within the Knights of Favonius Church. Even the usually aloof nun Rosaria, who was often described as difficult to get along with, could share a few laughs with Amber.
Succubus Amber, truly terrifying!
Hearing Barbara say that, Amber's eyes immediately lit up. She turned to Collei to ask for her opinion.
Looking at Amber's expectant gaze, and then glancing at Arkz not far away, Collei nodded.
"Since you are Amber's friend, I am willing to trust you this once!"
Seeing Collei's small eyes filled with both tension and hope, Barbara felt a great sense of responsibility. She immediately became fully alert and began examining Collei's physical condition.
During this period of training in the Underground Mine, Barbara had gained quite a bit. She had even developed new applications for her Hydro Element healing methods.
Barbara looked at Collei and said softly,
"Open your mouth."
Collei cooperatively opened her mouth.
Barbara extended her index finger, and a drop of Hydro Element gathered on its tip. Then, under Barbara's control, it slowly floated into Collei's mouth.
This technique, the "Perception Droplet," was something Barbara had specifically developed to deal with the special environment inside the Underground Mine.
The Underground Mine was dark with dust flying everywhere. Visibility was extremely low once a fight broke out. Moreover, the monsters in the Underground Mine were all cunning schemers, always thinking about ambushes. If it weren't for Noelle's shield being sturdy enough, the members of the Five-Color Squad would have been injured long ago.
To guard against monster ambushes in the Underground Mine, Barbara developed this move.
By scattering small droplets of Hydro Element imbued with her own perception ability, she could enhance her own senses. This way, as soon as a monster approached, Barbara could detect it in time and direct the team members where to attack.
This greatly improved the efficiency of the Five-Color Squad's progress within the Underground Mine.
And this move also had great utility in healing.
For instance, like today, when needing to examine the internal condition of a patient, relying solely on the naked eye was definitely not clear enough. But if Barbara sent a water droplet with perception ability inside the patient's body, directly near the lesion, wouldn't she be able to clearly know the patient's physical condition!
Moreover, this tiny drop of Hydro Element was non-toxic and harmless. Even if it remained inside the patient, the patient could expel this drop of Hydro Element through their own metabolic capabilities.
Barbara planned that the next developmental direction for this skill would be to allow the Hydro Element entering the patient's body to attack the lesion, performing procedures like debridement and healing.
Thinking about it carefully, the development prospects for this skill were extremely broad!
Under Barbara's control, the small droplet of Hydro Element slowly moved inside Collei's body. To avoid causing discomfort to Collei, the speed at which Barbara controlled the small droplet was extremely slow, allowing Barbara to observe very meticulously.
"Wait!"
"This is..."
Just as Barbara guided the droplet into Collei's abdomen for examination, she discovered a mass of black mist coiled up in Collei's abdomen.
This black mist looked listless but was extremely malevolent. In an instant, it devoured the Hydro Element controlled by Barbara, and even tried to attack Barbara by following the connection between the Hydro Element and her.
Fortunately, Barbara severed the connection with that water droplet in time.
The agitation of the demon god remnant inside her body made Collei cry out in pain. Seeing this, Amber quickly asked with concern,
"Collei, what's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"My stomach... My stomach hurts so much!"
Arkz, who had been observing the situation and was greatly impressed by Barbara's "Perception Droplet," deciding to learn from her, immediately rushed over upon sensing Collei's condition.
"Move aside, let me take a look."
Barbara and Amber quickly made way for Arkz upon hearing this.
Arkz closed his eyes, placed both hands on Collei's abdomen, and used his spiritual power to sense the situation inside her body.
A moment later, Arkz opened his eyes and pulled out a bottle of water of purity from his backpack, pouring it into Collei's mouth.
One bottle of water of purity later, the effect was immediate; Collei's stomach stopped hurting right away.
And under Arkz's perception, the demon god remnant that had been acting wildly and crazily just moments before was now sickly and unresponsive, not reacting at all even when Arkz poked it with his spiritual power.
Seeing both of them looking at him nervously, Arkz gave a brief explanation.
"The demon god remnant inside Collei is very sensitive to Elemental Power. Perhaps Barbara's Elemental Power just now agitated the remnant's ferocity."
"But there's no need to worry. Even if we ignore it, the demon god remnant inside Collei won't cause trouble for much longer."
"As long as she insists on drinking water of purity several times a day, the demon god remnant inside Collei will be cleared out soon enough."
As for the withering sickness inside Collei, Arkz did not elaborate.
On one hand, he didn't have a very good method to cure the withering sickness. Even the water of purity could only suppress it temporarily, not eradicate it.
On the other hand, the withering sickness involved great entanglements, whether it was forbidden knowledge or Irminsul. These were not things ordinary people should know. Although Barbara was an allogene, knowing too much would not benefit her.
Listening to Arkz's explanation, Barbara and Amber both breathed a long sigh of relief.
Especially Barbara; the sudden abnormality on Collei had nearly scared her to death.
However, thinking about the spiritual power projection and sensing technique Arkz used just now, Barbara's eyes lit up. If she could learn this technique, treating patients in the future would be much more convenient.
However, none of them noticed that Collei, lying on the sickbed, had flickering eyes and a deep gaze, as if she had something weighing on her mind.
