Just as Adelaide stepped into the All Things Shop department store, the cedar trees inside quickly spoke up.
"Hello, Miss Adelaide, are you here to buy something?"
"Oh, Cedar, you're here? I just came from your house. Your house has nice ground!" Adelaide teased Cedar slightly.
"No, it's all thanks to Miss Adelaide's kindness that I'm able to live in my current house." The cedar tree was still very grateful to Adelaide. They had met in the mountains before, and it was Adelaide who first offered them bread. Although Adelaide was somewhat reluctant at the time, in those circumstances, who would care about such small details?
"It's already very kind of them to bring you bread." The cedar tree glanced at the person beside it and immediately added:
"Miss Adelaide, this is Elm. We heard that his son, Elm Lump, was injured, so we came back to visit." Fir pointed to Elm and introduced him to Adelaide.
"Miss Adelaide, I'm Elmwood. It's an honor to meet you." Elmwood quickly introduced himself again, even though his name was Elmwood, he wasn't actually made of elm wood.
"Well, Elm, your son isn't in serious trouble. This is Sophia, a trainee doctor. Her diagnosis doesn't quite live up to her title." Adelaide pointed to Sophia behind her, and Sophia stared at her with wide eyes.
"Thank you, Dr. Sophia. We'll head back now. We only have half a day." With that, Sugi and the others left the All-in-One Department Store.
"Adelaide, are you going to add the word 'intern' to your introduction every time you introduce someone?" Sophia glared at Adelaide, still fuming.
"Am I wrong?" Adelaide retorted.
"No," Sophia conceded.
"Sister Adelaide, we've come to ask about that beautiful thing."
Carly's timely reminder made the two temporarily stop looking at each other.
"Aunt Anne, what's that thing?" Adelaide asked the salesperson inside.
Adelaide is truly remarkable in the territory; even Ed doesn't know as many people as she does.
"Miss Adelaide, that's called a windmill. There are only six in total, and one has already been given away. The lord sent it over this morning, saying that he would give one away with every pair of children's shoes you buy."
The saleswoman named Anne patiently explained it to Adelaide.
"Okay, then I'll buy three pairs, no, I'll add one more pair of women's shoes."
"Adelaide, I have my own bronze dragon coins, I don't need you to buy them for me," Sophia said, still sulking.
Adelaide looked at her and said, "Sophia, you need to understand, you're a trainee healer. Your few copper dragon coins aren't even enough to buy food."
Yes, Sofia doesn't have many bronze dragon coins, but it's definitely enough for food. Adelaide is a bit overrated.
However, Adelaide knew that her master was preparing to change the current method of seeing a doctor, and in the future, everyone might have to pay with bronze dragon coins. The number of healers would also increase, and Sophia would soon no longer be a trainee healer.
However, Sofia remains the castle's healer, while Gisela, the healer, may build a treatment room outside, so that people can go to see a doctor when they are sick and pay for their own medicine with copper coins.
Sophia didn't say anything more and silently changed her shoes. Adelaide's words made some sense; if Adelaide hadn't given her two types of paper, she really wouldn't have enough bronze dragon coins.
Sofia put on her new shoes and felt a real difference; her feet felt much more comfortable.
He stood up and stomped on the ground, as if his body was about to lift off the ground.
Carly, standing next to Sofia, happily watched her with a windmill in her hand.
"Sister Sophia, does it feel like you're flying?"
