Chapter 366 - Meal at the pier

When they arrived at the port, Denahi and Callisto could see how there were a lot of men and women on the docks who had feet very similar to those of a fish.

"Callisto You know what they are, they seem half-human, half-fish.

It's the first time I see something like this, and I'm really surprised. "

Callisto smiled "They are Tritons and Mermaids, my mother used to tell me about them when I was a child, they really thought that they were stories that had no validity.

But since Emperor Flavio showed us the elves and dwarves I can only believe, I would have liked my mother to be here; she was very believing in mythological creatures.

Unfortunately, she died of a disease that made her urine sweet, doctors in my province could not help her because we had no money. "

The doctor who was close to them approached Callisto. "Sorry to interrupt your Callisto talk, but it seems that your mother died of diabetes, a disease that causes insulin resistance and also in more severe cases sweet urine that can call ants. "

Callisto nodded "That's right doctor my mother's urine was sweet, she never consumed candy because they were very expensive, but she was engaged in beekeeping so every night she could drink milk with honey one day she just fell dead. "

The doctor took a small notebook from his gown, "Callisto regret to tell you, but you can also die of diabetes and your children, unfortunately, there is no cure for it, and you can only treat the symptoms if you had it but the lifetime will be minimal.

From what you tell from your mother she developed diabetes because the consuming honey, maybe after talking with Emperor Flavio today, you can have money to consume things with sugar.

But I recommend that you be careful with it, you can come to visit me whenever you like in my office in the hospital of the capital, I will attend you with pleasure and prepare a diet with which you can live a life without fear of developing diabetes. "

Callisto smiled. "Thank you, doctor, that makes me a little happy, at least I know what killed my mother.

To think that what she liked so much turned out to be something that cost her life, I'm a little scared to think that I could also have developed that disease. "

The doctor sighed, "Your mother was lucky because mine died after ingesting wine preserved in lead containers, Saturn's sugar or lead ascetic poisoned her.

Sometimes I asked me if only Emperor Flavio had met him before, perhaps I could have saved her, the feeling of helplessness when I saw my mother die was what encouraged me to be a doctor and find the cure for which my mother died.

I wanted to be like Hippocrates, but when I learned from Flavio that what killed her was lead, that changed my life completely and gave it another meaning.

I understood that what I was supposed to do was to help people and inform them about what could kill them, I am only a man, but I am sure that my effort will save many people.

Although I would like to keep talking, I think they are waiting for you at the port. "

Callisto realized that the s.h.i.+p had arrived, so he approached the board to disembark from the pier and could see the emperor accompanied by his wife, the iron empress h.e.l.lena.

Flavio could see a somewhat pale young man and still be hairy that looked like a sasquatch, they both went down and reached them, after a handshake the four walked down the pier.

"Glad to meet you. Callisto is a shame that the crew members have died, but the danger was too much.

I'm also glad to meet you Denahi, I was talking to my wife, and I have two options on how to work to get your people back.

But before that, join us. h.e.l.lena prepared a meal for us. I hope you don't mind eating fish Denahi. "

Denahi shook his head "I don't need to eat because being a guardian is not necessary, but I always enjoy food."

The four sat at a table, and a priestess began to serve the food, which was a delicious ceviche with chili.

Denahi did not understand what that hard thing the emperor was used to eat was for what he decided to imitate; first, he took what he was told was a toast, then put a brown paste called beans and finally placed the ceviche.

The toast, despite being thin and made of corn, looked very colorful, Denahi took a bite and could feel an explosion of flavors.

The acid of the lemon and the spicy chili, but also the softness of the beans and the fresh taste of the fish, made Denahi eat nonstop until he could feel satisfied.

Flavio nodded as he drank coconut water "I see you liked h.e.l.lena food Denahi, but I have to be honest and straightforward, there are only two possible ways to make your town bloom again.

The first is that we capture two specimens of those beasts and let them reproduce; we separate them from the baby and try to use divine energy to cleanse the bodies of the babies.

The second involves a lot of time; this because we will have to conquer the entire north of the continent and look for survivors who will be sent to this city so they can live safely.

I think the last decision is up to you. "

Denahi sighed and closed his eyes so he could feel the pleasant wind of the coast "I would like to try both options if you can.

I will help as much as possible, and if the first option works, I just hope to take care of the little babies, in return, I will teach your people how to create guardians.

This can help small towns because an elementary guardian will be in charge of teaching and caring for the place, he may not be able to help much, but he will be a great ally teaching new generations knowledge.

Flavio I just drank his water "I think it's a good deal Denahi, from tomorrow I will show you where we have our two specimens so you can see everything that happens.

Callisto, Ixchel, talked to me, and we could find your wife is in the hospital because she gave birth. "

Tears of joy fell on Callisto's face.
