“At that moment, Odalys felt as though something was watching her from behind. However, she needed acupuncture for Brandon’s son, and she had no time to tum around
But after she finished with the acupuncture, the sensation faded. At first, Odalys thought it was just her imagination. To her surprise, it wasn’t.
The giant python hissed, nodding its head toward the ground in her direction: Odalys watched as it lowered its posture. She held her breath.
*** take a look at it first. But this wooden stick is lodged in its body. I can’t guarantee I can fix it, and I’ve never treated a snake before.” Odalys said
The giant python listened carefully and quickly moved aside.
“Odalys stepped forward and looked at the snake. It was as thick as her arm and clearly had lived for at least twenty years.
“What is this” Odalys was slightly taken aback. When she touched the wooden stick, she recognized the smell. It was strangely familiar.
This scent… Is this from the Stewart family’s corpse clothing? Odalys eyes lit up.
“She remembered smelling this when she first arrived in the village. It had been present when she entered, but later it disappeared, and she had assumed it was just a problem with her sense of smell
“Unexpectedly, she now smelled it on the wooden stick
***I may need to pull the stick out, and then I can stop the bleeding g. But I can’t guarantee it will survive. Can you trust me?” Odalys asked in a low
voice.
“The giant python swam over and squatted down, nodding its head.
“Odalys placed her hand on the snakes abdomen and, with a strong pull, removed the wooden stick. Blood splattered everywhere.
“She quickly reached into her bag, pulled out a hemostatic powder, and sprinkled it on the wound. Then, she drew a talisman and placed it on the spot. Ther blood stopped instantly the moment the talisman touched the wound.
“The inake, which had previously laren lifeless, suddenly moved slightly

“Keep it still and don’t let it move. Whether it survives depends on its luck,” Odalys said quietly,
Clearly, she was nervous. Her fingers were trembling. She worried that if the snake died when she pulled out thestick, the giant python might hold a grudge against her.
It had been watching her all night, and it had clearly noticed that she understood medicine.
“Even if Sophia hadn’t stolen its eggs, it likely would have come after Odalys today.
The giant python continued hissing but kept its distance from her. Odalys picked up the wooden stick and saw that there was a word carved on it.
“She lightly traced the word with her fingertip, feeling a faint warmth. A chill passed through her eyes.
Ill take this stick with me. If you need anything, you can come find me,” Odalys said, packing the stick away and turning to leave.
“She walked quickly, her steps swift as if the wind was beneath her feet. She was bold, but she still had some fear of the giant python.
“As she hurried back, she heard a sound behind her. She turned around in surprise and saw the giant python chasing after her. Odalys heart leaped into her throat
“It’s not going to die now, is it? This is not my problem. Odalys wondered.
“She was about to turn around and run when she saw the giant python rush forward, blocking her path. Odalys barely managed to stop in time, almost crashing into it
“When she finally came to a halt, she saw the giant python flick its tail, sending something flying toward her.
*his tail swayed confidently in the air for a moment before a few wild animals were tossed in front of her. They were clearly injured from the pressure, not dead from the bites.
***Is this for me?” Odalys said with a wry smile.
“The giant python didn’t respond. It simply turned and disappeared from her sight.
Odalys picked up the five wild animals and headed back. By the time she reached the village, it was nearly noon.
As she passed Brandour’s house, she noticed the door was slightly ajar, Brandon was standing in front of it, his hands clasped behind his back. When he saw Odalys, he suddenly pushed the door open.
dalys met his gaze. He gave her a slight nod.
***Got it,” she said quietly, without turning back, and left without speaking to him further. She didn’t want anyone to see her interacting with him.

“After all, Brandon had had his tendons cut, and his son had nearly died from poisoning. It was clear that both events had been deliberate
“They had been forced to retreat into the mountains, afraid to even go to a hospital. It was obvious someone was watching them, but Odalys couldn’t understand why those people only watched them and hadn’t killed them..
“She wasn’t sure, but she had a strong feeling it was connected to the incident with the Stewart family.
“She kept her distance from Brandon, staying low–key. She wasn’t going to make a public connection with him. The brief nod when their eyes met. she understood it meant that his son’s condition had improved.
“Only then did Odalys feel her heart slowly seule.
***Hey, Odalys is back! Selah had been standing outside, waiting. When Selah saw Odalys, she rushed over excitedly.
“Freya and Stellan, hearing her, quickly ran out as well. Odalys was holding the wild animals, and her clothes were a little dirty.
“You went hunting? You scared me badly! No wonder you’ve been gone so long, Freya said, almost on the verge of tears.
“If Odalys hadn’t come back soon, Freya probably would have dragged Stellan out to look for her.
***I went a bit farther than expected, and got delayed on the way back,” Odalys murmured with a smile. She handed the wild animals to Selah while moving to wash her hands.
“Freya looked around, scanning Odalys for any injuries, and only relaxed when she saw she was unharmed.
“What did it want with you?” Freya asked in a lowered voice.
“Odalys had been checked over several times by Freya and was smiling from ear to ear. She wrapped an arm around Freya’s shoulder and said, “His son was injured, probably by accident during a hunt. He came to me for help.”
That works! Freya was stunned.
“Odalys just smiled without answering, quickly pushing Freya forward. “Did you wash the vegetables!”
“Yeah, they’re all ready. We’re about to make lunch,” Selah answered

“Stellan rolled up his sleeves and said. “I’ll make a stew with pheasant.”
And then we can roast some rabbits… How about we eat while we cook!” Freya added, raising her hand in excitement.
**Sounds good” Odalys nodded in agreement.
They all worked together to clean the wild game Odalys had brought back, cutting some sticks to hang them out to dry. After starting the fire, they skewered the wild rabbits, seasoned them, and placed them on the fire.
“The savory aroma quickly filled the air.
“Meanwhile, the scent of Stellan’s pheasant stew continued to spread through the village.
“Hey, this smells pretty good. I didn’t expect Stellan to be such a good cook, Freya said after taking a bite, immediately praising him.
“Selah and Odalys joined in and tasted it as well. After washing their hands, they sat down to enjoy the stew, while occasionally brushing seasoning onto the roasting rabbits.
“Odalys used a knife to make a few shallow cuts in the meat, allowing the flavor to soak in better while roasting
“We don’t have a fire over here. Can we put
at our stuff on your grill?“” Francis walked over, noticing how strong their fire was. He was holding a
pheasant, clearly already prepared.
****Sure, come on over Odalys waved him over with a welcoming gesture.
“Seeing this, Francis quickly approached with his pheasant, following their lead. He found a thicker stick, skewered the pheasant, and set it over the fire. The delicious aroma soon began to rise.
Finnian also appeared, bringing some of his own food toward the fire.
