Becoming a wet nurse is not the end of the story.

A man dressed somewhat like a businessman's butler entered the treatment room as the patient left.

A stranger came to him, and he had no obvious injuries or diseases that required treatment.

"Yes, this is you. How can I help you?"

"It's like this, our master would like to invite you to his home, as a kind of house call."

He was polite and did not do anything offensive. In his speech, he tried his best to keep his tone friendly and did not come across as arrogant.

"Hmm? Your master?" Lin Xueyin indicated that she was not familiar with the master he mentioned. Indeed, she had not been in this town for long and had not made any effort to understand the situation here, so she really did not know what the other party was talking about.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't explain clearly. It's like this, our master is Victor Lier, a merchant in town. He's been quite restless lately, so he hopes you can take some time to visit him."

"Oh, I see, but why doesn't he do it himself?"

The butler glanced around before leaning close to Lin Xueyin and whispering, "Our master believes it's because of dark magic. He's afraid to come out, fearing someone might harm him, so he..."

Dark magic? Lin Xueyin's first thought was of the undead from before, so she agreed without thinking, "I'll close early today, you can come pick me up then."

"Thank you very much, Pastor Lin. I'll go back and prepare now, and come here early to wait for you to finish."

As the man hurriedly left, Lin Xueyin frowned deeply. Dark magic—what was it about this town that made that necromancer so obsessed, even going so far as to target the town's merchants?

Victor? Recalling the name mentioned earlier, Lin Xueyin felt it necessary to inquire about the person who came here for treatment. If he was a good person, she would do her best to save him; if he was also a heartless rich man, then he shouldn't blame her for not working hard.

Patients continued to come in from outside, and the treatments inside continued.

Inside the Greedy Wolf Stronghold, a man completely wrapped in a cloak was talking to a one-eyed man sitting in the hall when a black skull appeared in his hand and was handed to the one-eyed man.

"This contains a dark curse. If you can use it properly, your Greedy Wolf Stronghold will be safe and sound."

"Hmph, how much magic power could a tiny skull have? The curse inside is probably just a single-target spell. What use could it be?"

"Hehehe, single-target magic can also be very effective. Don't worry, you'll see the results."

"Hmm? So, you've already used it?" The one-eyed man glanced at the cloaked man with a cold look, seemingly disdainful of his statement.

As a powerful warrior, he looked down on these rats hiding in the gutter, especially since he had lured dozens of his men out to their deaths.

"Of course, don't worry, you will definitely see the results, and it will come from the person you trust most."

Book 1: The Transmigrated Wet Nurse - Chapter 21: The Kind Person of the Town

It wasn't as luxurious as I had imagined, nor did it have that ostentatious, showy feel. It was just a very ordinary large mansion, and the servants at the gate were very polite.

Upon learning that he was a pastor on a house call, the two servants at the door became even more polite and quickly led him inside.

"Haha, our little Holy Heart Saintess has arrived."

"Huh? What's going on with the Little Saintess of the Holy Heart?" Lin Xueyin was a little confused as she looked at the man who was dressed modestly but very appropriately to greet her.

What's the meaning of this "Sacred Heart Little Saintess"? It sounds so vulgar.

"Of course, it was spread by the townspeople and mercenaries. Your behavior in the town truly deserves the title of 'Little Saintess'."

Although she didn't know what her expression was, Lin Xueyin could imagine that she must be looking disgusted. "Little Saintess, let's just forget about it. We're all still spending money, aren't we?"

"With that little money, in those big cities, let alone treatment, you can't even see a pastor." He stared intently at the slightly blushing girl.

It's important to know that a mage's magic power is extremely precious. They increase and replenish their magic power through meditation, but this is a very slow process, which is why hiring a priest is so difficult.

Of course, there are also alchemical potions for recovery, but these potions are extremely expensive, and alchemists are just as rare as other mages.

This isn't a game. You could say that alchemists are a dime a dozen. In reality, this kind of profession, which requires talent, hard work, and patience, is one that very few people can stick with.

However, this little girl is able to treat a large number of people every day, so how much magical power does she have, and how strong is her ability to restore magical power? These are all things that people can't help but care about.

In fact, those who are family know their own situation. Back then, Lin Xueyin modified her MP and HP to the maximum value, so it was impossible for her to run out of MP with such a small healing spell. As for restoring mana, is that even a question? In which game can a character's mana regeneration speed be so slow that it takes a whole day to fully recover? Just meditate, sit down, and it can be solved in a minute, okay?

Therefore, Lin Xueyin, unaware of the actual situation, thought that this situation was very ordinary and normal.

"Little Saintess..."

"Um, could you please not call me Little Saintess? Everyone can call me Pastor Lin, or like Aria and the others, you can call me Xueyin. Just please don't call me Little Saintess."

The title "Saintess" always gives off the vibe of a girl from a harem anime who chases after the male protagonist. Of course, if you're thinking too much about it, she might even become some kind of demon in certain anime.

Unaware that the girl before him had already let her thoughts run wild, Victor smiled politely and said, "Then I'll call you Pastor Lin."

Seeing the other party nod in agreement, Victor gestured for them to come inside, saying, "Please come in first. I have arranged a dinner. Although it is not luxurious, I hope our distinguished guest will make it special."

As Victor entered the hall, Lin Xueyin couldn't help but gasp at the sight of the sumptuous food on the table. The abundance of delicacies on the table was enough to whet anyone's appetite.

"This...this is a bit too luxurious, and there's too much of it...I..."

"Haha, not much, not much. You've taken time out of your busy schedule to come and make house calls here, so I can't possibly treat you to a meal. Besides, you've saved so many people in town, so as a resident of the town, it's only right that I treat you to a meal."

"Everyone says that Lord Victor is one of the few truly kind-hearted people in town, and now that I see it, it's definitely true." With a smile, Lin Xueyin followed Victor's lead and sat down in a chair.

"That's all thanks to everyone's kindness. I'm just doing what I can."

"What we can do? We'll fund road repairs in town, renovate all the roads leading to other towns, provide some livelihoods for impoverished families, and even fund some mercenary groups to overcome difficulties. These are not just things we can do."

After a slight pause, Lin Xueyin had to admit that the man in front of her was truly a great philanthropist. When she chatted with the wounded and patients before, not a single one of them failed to give him a thumbs up in praise.

"I remember that before, because of the war, the price of food in the town rose. It was your mercenary group that went out to purchase large quantities of food, which prevented the people in the town from running out of food and stabilized the upward trend of food prices."

"Where did you hear that? I'm not as good as you say. This is just what I, a resident of this town, should do."

“So, compared to you, what I, a mere pastor, did was just a little frivolous thing. You are the real benefactor.” Victor then handed him a plate already piled high with turkey.

"Try it. Ordinary commoners don't deserve to eat this kind of turkey meat."

Lin Xueyin frowned slightly, feeling a natural discomfort with such words.

"Ah, I almost forgot. The empire has a very strict class system. Ordinary commoners have their own specific food requirements. There are some special foods that they are not qualified to eat. Of course, I am not qualified either. However, I mentioned to the Baron today that I wanted to host a banquet for you, and the Baron specifically requested that this roast turkey be served."

"Speaking of which, our family is only able to enjoy this special food thanks to you this time."

"Why is there such a requirement? Does it mean we have to control what they eat?"

"Actually, the regulations aren't strict, but you have to understand that these turkeys are extremely rare, so they are very expensive. It's difficult for ordinary families to afford them, and even without connections, it's very difficult to buy one."

Ultimately, it all boils down to using bizarre things to assert the nobility's presence and enhance their sense of superiority. Looking at the plate of tender turkey meat in front of me, I suddenly lost my appetite.

"Actually, you don't need to think so much. Sometimes, nobles also have their own difficulties. At least, commoners don't have their elaborate rituals or strict etiquette. They even have to follow certain rules when eating."

"So if that's the case, it's better to be an ordinary citizen. Although there are some things that are said to be off-limits, you can do them secretly. Isn't freedom a much higher value?"

What the other person said seemed to make a lot of sense. It would be better for me to stay away from the aristocracy in the future, since so many complicated etiquettes would be even more difficult for an outsider like me to accept.

So, in the end, we still haven't gotten to the point. Lin Xueyin has almost forgotten why she came here.

Volume 1: The Transmigrated Nanny - Chapter 22: The Dark Curse

After a hearty meal, with Victor hesitant to speak, Lin Xueyin belatedly realized the purpose of her visit: this philanthropist had been feeling uneasy lately and had hoped she would come and check on him.

“Mr. Victor, we’ll go check on your bedroom now.”

"Alright, alright, let's go over there now." Victor, who had already finished his dinner and fruit and even rested for a while, was also starting to feel anxious.

“I usually look at the accounts until very late, but these past few days, I’ve felt a chilly atmosphere around me when I’m looking at the accounts. But when I’m lying in bed, I always feel like something is watching me. This feeling of unease is always lingering in my heart.”

It sounded a bit strange, but what exactly was going on? There was no special debuff on the other person, so Lin Xueyin still felt that she could check the places he often stayed in.

Do you usually review the account books in your bedroom?

"Yes, I will put the ledger in the bedroom at night to save some energy from the magic lamp."

As Lin Xueyin entered the bedroom, she glanced around. There didn't seem to be anything particularly special. However, when she saw a uniquely shaped black sculpture on the table, her brows furrowed tightly.

A faint, imperceptible aura of darkness emanated from within. That ominous aura sent a chill through Lin Xueyin, yet within that chill, for some reason, there was a sense of familiarity.

"May I take a look at this sculpture?"

Although it was an inquiry, Lin Xueyin didn't wait for the result before receiving it. It was a very strange monster-shaped object, at least not one of the species she knew of that existed on Earth.

It appeared to be a monster crouching atop a stone pillar, with two demonic wings on its back. Its face lacked any defined features, instead bearing numerous tentacle-like appendages. Four sharp claws were meticulously carved onto its powerful limbs.

"Oh, this was sold to me by someone wearing a cloak before. I thought the sculpture was quite intricately carved, so I put it in my bedroom. Is there a problem with it?"

"It's not a problem, but could you give me this sculpture? I'm quite curious about this monster."

For some reason, Lin Xueyin felt that she didn't need to tell the truth, so she just made up an excuse to brush it off.

"I don't know how much this will cost, but I'll just buy it."

"No need to buy it. This sculpture was a gift from the seller. He sold me a lot of things and gave me this sculpture as a bonus."

"Well then, I'll gladly accept your offer." It's free, so why not take it? I don't have much money on me anyway, so I'll use this sculpture as payment for this house call.

He gave Victor a perfunctory prayer and blessing, then took the sculpture, which exuded a dark and ominous aura, back to his little shop.

From afar, he could see Aria waiting anxiously at the entrance, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

"Aria, I'm back. You must have been waiting for me."

“When I came here, I heard that you went out to make house calls. Why are you coming home so late? It’s not safe in town now. Try not to go out so late, okay?”

Seeing Lin Xueyin walking over leisurely with a paper package in her hand, Ailiya breathed a sigh of relief. Nighttime was when the undead were most active, and she was still a little worried about walking outside alone.

"What's this? Let me hold it for you." Seeing the paper package Lin Xueyin was holding, Ailiya quickly took it from her. To be honest, Ailiya already felt somewhat guilty towards Lin Xueyin. The previous encounter with swords drawn had made her inner chivalry constantly condemn her.

"This is the dinner I brought for you. Victor invited me to his house for a house call and treated me to a big meal, so I packed some up and brought it back for you."

"Huh? He actually let you eat and take things?" Aria looked at the girl in front of her in surprise, not expecting that she would do something so rude for her sake.

"Thank you, Yukine, but please don't do that again next time, it was very rude."

"Is that impolite?" Lin Xueyin tilted her head. It was indeed a bit inappropriate, but the other party didn't say anything. Besides, it would be a waste to throw away so many leftovers.

He waved his hand and said, "Oh, Aria, it's nothing. I brought it anyway, and you haven't eaten any, so I just brought you some. The other party won't say anything."

Looking at the indifferent Lin Xueyin, and then at the food wrapped in yellow paper in her hand, which was still slightly warm, Ailiya felt a warmth in her heart.

"Yes, thank you, Yukine. It's cold outside, let's go inside."

After removing her armor, Aria fully displayed her tall, slender female figure to Lin Xueyin. Although this wasn't the first time he had seen her, he still couldn't help but focus most of his attention on her.

"What's wrong, Yukine? What happened to your eyes?"

Looking at Lin Xueyin, whose eyes were twitching noticeably, Ailiya was a little confused. What was this girl looking at that made her eyes look like that?

"Um, it's nothing." Lin Xueyin covered her face, feeling her face burning up. She had only intended to peek, but not only was she caught red-handed, the other person also brought up her eye.
