Chapter 172 Burns
We were heading towards the treatment of the Phoenix in The Forest of Divine Beasts.
The Phoenix scatters ashes of death, causing illness among the elves.
Guided by Aegis-san, we arrived at The Forest of Divine Beasts, but...
"What's this... it's on fire!"
Surprisingly, The Forest of Divine Beasts was engulfed in flames.
The flames color is blue. Even though we weren't inside, we could feel intense heat.
"Hey, is this okay!? Won't the fire spread!?"
"No worries, look at that."
Aegis-san pointed at the blue flames. ...!
That is...!
"Even though it should be burning in flames, the trees in the forest are not turning to ashes, right?"
"What!?"
Normally, setting a tree on fire causes it to turn to ash within minutes.
However, the trees in The Forest of Divine Beasts, enveloped in blue flames, remained intact.
"The trees in The Forest of Divine Beasts are under a special protection, they won't burn away no matter how much they burn."
"On the contrary, the trees around the forest are disappearing due to the heat... but that prevents the fire from spreading further."
I think what Mercury-san said is correct.
Fire won't spread without something to burn.
"The fire is being contained, but due to this heatwave and ashes, we can't go inside."
"This is a bit... it's too hot even though we're this far away..."
After some thought, I activated a skill.
I quickly made an ointment.
"With this, we'll be fine!"
"What's this?"
"It's sunscreen (strong)!"
"Sunscreen... that's beyond normal levels..."
"It's okay! If you apply this to your skin, you'll be fine in any heat, and won't be affected by the heat at all!"
"I-Is that really okay?"
"Yes!"
Probably!
First, I applied the ointment to my skin.
Then to my hair.
And also to my clothes.
"Alright!"
In that state, I approached the forest.
The heat... was gone!
"As always, you make amazing medicines, and so quickly... have you made this before?"
"Yes! My old man used this sunscreen a lot when fighting against Fire-Spitting Lizards!"
"Hey, I said...! It's a dragon! It's a dragon, not a lizard!"
"No, it's a lizard!"
"AAAAH, it's been a while, so FRUSTRATINNNNNG!"
