The dwarf filled him in on what happened afterwards, as while he was checking their belongings both hooded men flared up in a golden fire leaving only a reverb of their cry behind. Nothing that shouldn't be expected from lord Vosphel's methods. At least Voört found a couple of Low Grade Bing Chilling Pills on them, which were indeed a questionable way to temporarily suppress the meridian corrosion.
The girl woke up to a burning sensation in her larynx. Her voice was in a bad shape, but she still managed to draw the alchemist's attention from his tiny furnace.
"I need you to tell me each of your meridian which element they are." asked Kaede while checking her pulse again.
"Fire. All of them."
This was the worst case scenario, as any cold-based remedy would severely damage her already stunted meridians. Not to mention her Body Refinement Realm being still at the Marrow Washing Stage limited the conventional treatment paths to none. Even thinking outside the box barely gave him any ideas, the best one being simply supporting her spiritual veins while she refined the Three Shaded Flame. On the flip side, he was already working on Root Harmonizing Pills for healing his own meridians, at the very least she had that going for her.
"Why are you helping me?" asked the girl.
"I wonder about that myself." It was an answer, but she was expecting something useful, which he hadn't. He tried again: "If life was a novel I would say everything is happening just for narrative purposes: you're conveniently a girl, so of course you're not as bad as your friends, you must have had a good reason for the evil you've done etcetera. On a serious note, although it was to save you from bleeding out, I do feel a bit guilty about forcing you to take that poisonous Low Grade Rejuvenation Pill. Basically everything can be boiled down to me doing whatever I feel like."
"Your answers are terrible." commented the girl with a hint of a smile. "My name is Enicya. Nicya, for short."
