Gender-swapped Saintess: A Survival Diary on Hell Difficulty

"Oh yeah!"

"The stabilizer is indeed effective!"

"Congratulations, your magical contamination has been removed!"

Looking through her glasses, Roland was absolutely certain that the pollution had disappeared, and she happily exclaimed twice.

Just as she expected.

After the chaotic elemental forces are inertized, their contamination effect on human magic is reduced.

Once the magic cycle is re-established, dealing with the weakened elemental power will be a piece of cake.

The only thing that gives Roland a headache.

The problem is that the consumption of potions is too high.

After all, it took three bottles just to treat two people.

Even with the potion pot given to her by a wealthy woman, she couldn't supply the entire Old Port District.

However, once the potion is confirmed to be effective, further optimization can be carried out.

If all else fails, I can always find another all-powerful rich succubus.

Roland began casting healing spells on the Renee sisters.

The result was that it only emitted a faint stream of light.

"Um, the potion concentration in this room is a bit too high. Let's go outside for treatment..."

Roland gave an awkward smile, then froze.

By the way, although the [Apprentice-level Stabilizer] has spread, it hasn't disappeared.

What if we put the patients together in a closed room?

She then sprayed more magic potion mist inside.

Wouldn't that maximize the potion's efficiency?

Moreover, it saves time, space, and even magic potions.

That's so interesting! This idea is so interesting!

She's a genius!

Roland took the Renee sisters outside and treated their injuries caused by the contamination.

However, Renee's limp is something she can't address for the time being.

Apprentice-level healing techniques have limited effectiveness.

"Thank you so much, Lady Roland."

The gray-haired girl Jenny, holding her younger sister's hand, bowed deeply to Roland.

Then, from inside the gray skirt lining, she pulled out a tightly tied cloth bag.

She took out all the silver coins, a total of seven, and presented them to Roland with both hands.

This was originally the money she had saved up over the past year, hoping to treat her sister's lameness.

"Lady Roland, I know this money is not enough to cover the consultation fee, please accept this first."

"I will definitely make up for what I lack in the future."

Roland naturally wouldn't accept it.

After all, the first person to try something new always deserves preferential treatment.

Moreover, the seven silver coins were no longer of any importance to her; she might as well give them to the sisters to improve their lives.

These two sisters seem to be honest people; we could hire them as helpers.

Roland carefully examined Jenny.

Jenny looked like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl with short gray hair, and was a little taller than Roland.

He was thin and small, and looked quite malnourished.

Her cheeks were somewhat thin, but she could barely be considered pretty.

She has light blue eyes and is probably not related to Renee by blood.

His hands had obvious calluses, and his skin was somewhat rough; he was clearly a top-notch worker.

So Roland said:

"No need for money, since you helped me test the potion."

"However, I have a suggestion."

Roland glanced at Renee standing to the side.

The little black-haired girl, dragging her right leg, looked rather pitiful.

"I'd like to hire you sisters to work for the church and help me run and manage it. What do you think?"

"The pay will definitely be better than what you get for working illegally in the textile factory."

Jenny opened her mouth in surprise, her eyes filled with delight.

"You...you mean, you'd be willing to hire us to work at the church?"

For them in the slums, this was like a meteoric rise to the top.

But she hesitated for a moment, then honestly lowered her head and said nervously:

"Lady Roland, I only know simple manual labor and I'm illiterate... Won't that meet your requirements?"

Roland was even more pleased with this performance.

Honest people are good. She has many secrets, so hiring honest employees is the best choice.

She took Jenny's hand and gave her a gentle smile.

"Don't worry, it's all very simple work."

"You are all good kids who are working hard to live your lives, how could I possibly look down on you?"

"If you don't mind, you can stay in the church; there are plenty of empty rooms."

"One day, I will be able to heal your sister's leg."

Jenny's pale blue eyes welled up with tears.

For so many years... I struggled in the slums with my younger sister.

When was the last time someone cared about her this much?

……

Her thoughts seemed to drift back to the past.

It was winter in the old port area. Her mother, exhausted from overwork, stroked her with guilt and heartache, and held her hand.

Just like now, Roland is holding her hand.

Mom reminisced about the first time she celebrated her birthday, the first time they ate meat together, and the first time she started working...

The mother said she was sorry for her, that she couldn't get her out of the slums.

Having left behind only meager savings, he left her forever on a terrible, cold, rainy night.

……

Roland suddenly noticed that Jenny's mood was off.

Suddenly, tears began to stream down the face of the girl in front of him.

Her little mouth twitched, and she looked like she was about to cry.

Roland, a hero for twenty years, couldn't bear to see such a pitiful child cry.

Startled, Roland stood on tiptoe, freeing one hand to stroke her gray hair, comforting her:

"Don't cry, don't cry, it's okay, it's alright now."

"The hard times are over, and life will only get better in the future."

Not only did it not work, but Jenny immediately burst into tears.

It was as if she wanted to cry out all the suffering she had endured over the years.

This left Roland at a loss, so she could only hug her and gently pat her back.

"Mother……"

Jenny murmured, her voice trembling with tears.

Roland: "???"

What's wrong with this child? He's calling for his mother!

At that moment, a notification sounded in my mind.

Jenny has become your follower.

[Faith +62]

[The believer unit will continuously provide you with faith every day.]

Roland was shocked.

Being called "Mom" by someone? Is this even possible?

Could the world be just a giant Varoite?

……

After another ten minutes or so of commotion, Roland finally led a calmer Jenny and a still-limping Renee back to the chapel.

She handed over the task of selling the medicine to the two sisters, and then comforted the waiting crowd.

"Rest assured, everyone, the potion experiment was a success."

"Everyone is saved, but please wait a little while and do not approach other people to avoid spreading the infection."

"Otherwise, you will lose your eligibility for treatment!"

Upon hearing this, those who wanted to bother the Jenny sisters immediately returned to their original positions.

Roland nodded and went back upstairs to start preparing the potion.

The materials used in the apprentice-level stabilizer are inexpensive.

However, it used "Roland brand milk".

We still need to charge more money.

Ultimately, she set the cost of treatment for one person at 2 silver coins.

It is estimated that each bottle of [Apprentice-level Stabilizer] can generate an income of about 30 silver coins.

Compared to the [Vigorous Potion], which also uses "Roland's Milk," this price is practically charity.

However, even slight magical pollution only affects ordinary people.

How much money do ordinary people have?
