Compared to the threat of life expectancy, war, famine, disease, and disasters are the most terrifying enemies of humanity in this era.
Otherwise, why would individuals mature by thirteen or fourteen yet have an average life expectancy of only in their twenties?
Many ordinary people never reach the stage of worrying about life expectancy in the face of these threats.
While aging takes decades, starvation can kill in seven days, and war and disaster can claim lives in an instant.
These are tangible and understandable, and death is certain.
But disease is beyond their comprehension. They do not understand why the body changes this way. Sometimes the pain and suffering caused by disease are often seen by ignorant people as curses from evil wizards, leading them to seek aid from the Church.
Indeed, divine arts have an obvious healing effect on external injuries, and the boost from a bottle of holy water might help the patient endure.
