Water Mage in the Flame Realm

At the city gate of "Shield of Flowing Fire," the magic airship landed, and another group of wounded soldiers was transported down.

Linda shouted for another medical team, long prepared and standing by, to quickly move forward and respond.

Then she turned back, slightly puzzled, looking at Andrew, then at Falk, "Not your student?"

If it were someone else, they might be confused for a while longer.

But Linda wasn't one to get tangled up in such insignificant details. Instead of delving deeper, she felt at heart: This is right! If I remember correctly, Falk the Grand Mage's main focus is the "Solar Type" series, not the "Fire God's Blessing Series" we specialize in. How could he teach a student proficient in healing?

She looked at Andrew again, "Anyway, may I trouble you to come with me for a bit?" She paused, unable to help but ask, "Why... are you so sure that two simple Tier Three healing magics could bring that wounded soldier back to life?"

Before this, everyone saw Linda rushing over and then being particularly polite to Andrew, apologizing and inviting him, and there was a bit of murmuring in their hearts.

Especially Havier, who couldn't believe in any way: Did this kid Andrew really help the medical team just now? Did he really help, and not hinder?! I... I don't believe it! Absolutely not!!

However, hearing this, hearing Linda herself say "bring that wounded soldier back," everyone finally understood: He really was brought back!

And the method used was just the one that Andrew had mentioned earlier, which Havier ruthlessly mocked as unreliable!

"How could it be... why would it be like this?" Havier only felt his face burning.

This invisible slap was much more painful and embarrassing than the invisible slap he received back in Wildfire Territory from "Farmer Spring Water!"

Havier gritted his teeth, angrily glaring at Andrew, who had never paid much attention to him, and shouted in his heart: "This kid, this bastard! Did he do it on purpose? Purposely ignoring me, allowing me to mock him to my heart's content, and then publicly humiliating me!?"

Andrew indeed purposely ignored Havier, but he never intended to humiliate him.

He really didn't take it to heart.

At this moment, facing Linda's invitation, Andrew didn't reply immediately. He first thought seriously: "I couldn't help but take action earlier mainly because saving lives was urgent. That wounded soldier was indeed about to die. But if I accept the invitation to help now... it might not be good? First, I actually lack the qualification to guide. Secondly, this somewhat deviates from my original plan to gather strength after reaching Warm Fire City..."

Thinking of this, Andrew suddenly laughed at himself: What am I thinking? It's just going to help save people together, why think so complicated?

While saving people, just consider it continuing with market research!

Also, earlier, he experienced how it felt to be so low-key that he lacked a voice.

With this in mind, Andrew finally nodded and spoke: "Of course, I have many questions I'd like to ask too — ouch!"

A hand grasped by Linda was suddenly dragged away!

"That's great! Really great! Then let's start right away!"

Linda, with a face full of happiness and excitement, pulled Andrew along while waving at Falk without looking back, "Sorry, Falk the Grand Mage, I'll treat you to a meal next time!" In her mind, even if Andrew wasn't Falk's student, he was with Falk, considered one of Falk's people. "Oh right, hello, Miss Barbara!" She finally greeted Barbara, but she was already running far with Andrew.

Andrew was pulled by Linda, his expression slightly changed, continuously exerting effort in secret, trying several times but unable to break free!

"Damn, is this the power of a Tier Seven Warm Fire Mage? Even if the main focus is the healing type 'Fire God's Blessing Series,' pinching me is like pinching a chick?" Andrew was helpless.

Fortunately, Ivan had silently followed.

Only then did Andrew rid his mind of the strange fears.

There was nothing to be done; although knowing Linda should just be taking him along to save the wounded, this auntie gets so excited that it's a bit intimidating, instinctively feeling that if she drags him to some secluded corner...

Ivan saw Andrew's embarrassment, a bit amused, and comforted him through the "Soul Whisper Channel," "It's okay, I've heard of the name 'Violent Angel' Linda when roaming outside the desert before. She's probably just like that; she won't do anything to you."

"Violent Angel?" Andrew felt the twinge of pain on his wrist pinched by Linda, thinking that's really... aptly named!

He asked Ivan through the "Soul Whisper Channel," "So is this auntie quite famous? Already considered a figure in the Warm Fire Commerce Association?"

"What else?"

"Alright." Andrew nodded.

The original plan was really to continue to keep a low profile and do thorough market research once entering the "Shield of Flowing Fire" city.

He really just wanted to intervene to save someone earlier!

But unexpectedly, having not truly arrived at Warm Fire City, he had already started interacting with significant figures in the Warm Fire Commerce Association.

"It is, after all, this 'Shield of Flowing Fire' is the defensive city of Warm Fire City, closely connected. My previous thought now seems a bit simplistic." Andrew mused, then said aloud, "Uh, Violent Ang... oh no, Captain Linda, could you not grip me so tightly?"

"Oh, oh, sorry, sorry!" Linda said somewhat embarrassed.

But still held tightly!

Andrew resigned himself internally, letting it be, and then said, "Didn't you ask why I suggested using the 'Fire Spirit of Life' and 'Soul Furnace Fire'?"

"Yes, yes, why?" Linda turned back, despite being in her forties, looking curious like a small child.

Andrew said, "Actually, I'm not very sure myself; my thinking goes like this..." He then earnestly discussed related issues of healing burn injuries with Linda.

While addressing Linda's prior questions, Andrew also earnestly inquired about many concerns of his own.

Discussing while heading into the city, they quickly saw a rather large hospital ahead.

This hospital was now admitting all the wounded returning from the front lines, the largest in "Shield of Flowing Fire" city, and also the most professional under the entire Warm Fire Commerce Association's rule.

This hospital had a name that wasn't too otherworldly: Warm Fire Temple.

"'Warm Fire Temple'?"

Andrew looked at the three big words over the hospital entrance, smiled slightly, and at this moment completely cleared away distractions, thinking, "Then let me have a good look, what exactly is the situation with battlefield flame injuries in this Flame Realm? And... what can I do to help!"

...

...

At the same time, at the city gate.

Falk, Barbara, and the others watched Andrew and Ivan following Captain Linda away, and it was quite a while before they snapped back to reality.
