Capadox looks a little pale!Life sure is difficult when Aesculapius hates you.
![Page 15: Aesculapius, the god of medicine, delivers the prologue to a captivated audience](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070400/568134aa550346895d9bbc78/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

There’s no medicine like a good song,especially if it’s in Latin!

Banking seems pretty hard…maybeit would be easier if they sang about it.
![Page 25: Aesculapius, the god of medicine, delivers the prologue to a captivated audience](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070400/568134aa550346895d9bbc78/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

The cagey Lyco doesn’t quite buy Curculio’sact. Maybe it’s the eye-patch?
![Page 29: Aesculapius, the god of medicine, delivers the prologue to a captivated audience](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070400/568134aa550346895d9bbc78/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
