Task: A Snow Fairy

Requester: Kurtz, High Demon of the Demonic Volcano

Quest Rank: E-rank

Rewards: 8 Large Copper Coins

Description: A small snow fairy ended up visiting the volcano because the "big red place was cool" apparently... While we appreciated her enthusiasm, it quickly became obvious she couldn't endure the weather... At one point she fainted and we took her away from the volcano, yet she still didn't wake up since then.

We're unsure on what to do with the poor girl, could you find a way to help her wake up? Maybe bringing her to a really cold place might do the trick.

When Zinc saw the quest to wake up a snow fairy using something or someplace cold, he thought about the new skill he had recently received from Dewloren – Icy Touch. According to the information provided from the immortal beast, Icy Touch was a spell that chilled the body upon contact and slowed any bodily movements, perfect for helping the snow fairy or at least restoring some vitality to the overheated snow fairy.

Of course, if Icy Touch doesn’t work, Zinc needed a plan B. Now, in eastern medicine, there were eleven major forms of heat illness. But for fainting and even coma to occur, only one prevailed. This heat illness was dangerous…so much so that it could even cause death. According to the records, the heat toxins had already reached the snow fairy’s heart, causing delirium, extreme thirst, and other mental issues to rise.

After finding out the snow fairy’s location from one of the guild receptionists, Zinc arrived at where the snow fairy resided. Once he proved himself as an adventurer who was tasked with waking her up, the residents there allowed him in. Immediately, Zinc got to work. He walked up to the snow fairy and placed his hand over the fairy’s forehead. Using Icy Touch, Zinc cooled down the fairy.

Soon, the fairy’s eyes began to roll as she awakened. She stared groggily at Zinc and muttered. “Where am I?”

Before Zinc could answer, the fairy fainted once more. The doctor reached over and checked the fairy’s pulse. Although Icy Touch worked and woke the small fairy, however, the coldness could not completely counteract the heat within the fairy’s body. As the spell’s capabilities don’t stack, any more would not affect the fairy in any way. And so…plan B.

First and foremost, Zinc needed to dispel and clear the heat within the fairy’s body – especially the heat that’s attacking the regions around her heart. Zinc decided to use an acupuncture method to solve this issue. There were four steps to take for the process.

First, Zinc pierced the acupoint on the inside of the left arm between the biceps and the forearm. This point not only promoted the clearing of the heat but also calmed the body. Next, Zinc pierced the acupoint located at the center of the fairy’s right palm. This acupoint cooled the blood and cleared the heat from the heart.

Third, Zinc pierced the knuckles of the first three fingers of the fairy’s left hand. The doctor especially made a note that the thumb was not part of the three fingers. The three needles piercing the three knuckles, helped expel wind and promote blood circulation. And lastly, the tips of all ten fingers were pierced in order to let blood flow out. The blood acted as a medium for which the heat escaped from the fairy’s body.

With this, the snow fairy reawakened. Though she was feeling under the weather, Zinc prescribed her some blood nourishing foods and medicine to take during the rest of her trip. Next, Zinc pierced a needle on the top of the fairy’s left forearm, near her wrist. This acupoint doesn’t help clear up heat, but instead, it helped to clear the fairy’s mind in order to prevent delirium from setting in.

Lastly, Zinc pierced the acupoint on the outside of the left arm between the biceps and the forearm. This process helped detoxify any heat poison left in the fairy’s system. Once the task was completed, Zinc headed back to the guild to submit his report.
