Okay, no worries! Actually this Viktor is the Arcane one, so I didn’t use the vikjay tag. ( I know this is a chaotic pairing）

Because he is Jayce Giopara.

no other specimen like it has ever been seen

Rio
A gigantic salamander of
the Salamandra Gud
Some believe it to be a miraculous creature.
a divine sign of warding off evil and disease
Others suspect that the wondrous medicinal
herbs found within the infirmary are inextricably
linked to its existence.
In all of Custodia,

healing the wounds of weary travelers
who pass through this forsaken place.
Or perhaps,
his choice was driven
by some other reason...?

Viktor
A healer of the Salamandra Guild
Due to his compassionate heart
and exceptional medical skill
he is deeply revered by the local people
When the Land of the Withered Olive
was abandoned
Victor did not leave with the other inhabitants but chose instead to remain,

The bronze door to the Cathedral stands firmly locked.
His chances of returning there are exceedingly slim.

Jayce
Former Knight of the Anointed Legion
During the great purge of the heretics,
he was gravely wounded
and plummeted from the Bridge of
the Three Calvaries.
Upon awakening, he found himself
delivered to an infirmary nestled
in the Land of the Withered Olives,
where he encountered Viktor

I've uploaded the English text of the corresponding manga in each comment section🥰

p4：Sometimes I find myself thinking perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad to stay here. But I still have my duty… and besides—
I think Viktor may not truly wish for me to stay here.

V：...I don’t think this is a suggestion that should be made to someone whose legs are no longer steady.
J：I can carry you up
on my back.
V：Don’t joke around.

perhaps one day, if the chance arises,
I could carry him up there together.

He truly is a kind and devout man…
I once asked him if he would like to see the Basilica of
the Scorched Mother in person someday. He replied that he held no particular obsession with pilgrimage.
Yet still, I find myself thinking —

J：Why didn’t you leave together with everyone else?
V：You do know that this place is quite close to the Graveyard of the Peaks, right? That’s precisely why I chose to stay here— to aid the pilgrims who still pass through, those in desperate need of help.

p3：Though I said I was helping, ever since
the olive groves withered away,
the nearby inhabitants gradually left one by one.
In truth, there is hardly any work left to do here.

p2：but Viktor insisted that I remain and recover for a while longer. So during that time, I assisted him in the infirmary, repaying, in some small measure, the debt of my life.
To survive such a wound...! If someone told me it wasn’t the Miracle itself that spared you, I would scarcely believe it..
