The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 360
Episode 360 Researching
SARS-CoV-2 (3) is difficult.
This is because it is about pioneering a new path. It is not uncommon to have to take a path that no one else has taken, a muddy path, a method that no one has tried before, without even reference materials.
That is research. That’s why the monster called research grinds people down and eats them.
In particular, they prey on poor graduate students who have accumulated karma from their past lives in the most delicious way.
“…yes? “Are you telling me to run?”
“huh.”
“….”
Rachiel was silent.
In fact, he was a little excited just a moment ago. The enormous task of curing the Dragon King’s coronavirus was given.
I wondered if I could do that myself. No, honestly, I wasn’t confident. This is something that many modern pharmaceutical companies and researchers have not yet been able to accomplish.
But that?
myself?
alone?
It was ridiculous.
But just then, amazing reinforcements appeared. The Dragon King himself will help you. Let’s study together. I felt reassured, as if I had won a thousand soldiers and ten thousand horses.
On the one hand, I was also looking forward to it. Since he is the Dragon King, there is an expectation that he will show tremendously advanced knowledge and wisdom in a different direction from that of humans.
… was being brutally destroyed.
“Of course I have to run. “Did you catch coronavirus too?”
“Oh yeah.”
“So you should run.”
“….”
So why?
Rachiel wanted to ask with her whole body.
Dragon King Berkis responded as if it was completely natural.
“If you run hard, your heart will pound, right? Blood circulation will speed up. Your metabolism will also speed up. yes?”
“I guess so.”
“Then the disease will progress faster, right?”
“I guess so… but…”
“Then the state where I feel like I’m going to die will come sooner. yes?”
“….”
“Breaking through the limit.”
“….”
“After breaking through, you will become stronger.”
“….”
“why? “You don’t like what I think?”
“yes.”
“But that doesn’t mean I can run.”
“Why?”
“Because my stamina is infinite. Moreover, it is said that corona has no effect on the health and life of dragons. So, there won’t be any limitations.”
“Yes, but…”
“So you have to fight against your limits?”
“No, what is that…”
Rakiel protested, suppressing his absurdity.
“Dragon King? “Before I tell you anything, there is something I want to make clear.”
“Yeah, guess what.”
“Because the Dragon King and I decided to conduct research together. “If it’s about research, can I speak with facts ahead of other etiquette?”
“Are you just trying to make a point?”
“For research purposes.”
“okay. Go ahead. Instead, I have a slightly delicate heart, so please take care of that.”
“….”
Wow.
Rakiel spoke, chewing the Dragon King’s words with a refreshing tone.
“First of all, I understand the purpose of the Dragon King telling me to run. “We will accelerate the progression of the disease, induce self-healing in that state, and obtain antibodies to be produced during the recovery period… Is that right?”
“Are you smart?”
“thank you. But the method you came up with is absurd.”
“why?”
“Because it is a method that has no backs. To put it bluntly, if I die, isn’t that the way everything will end?”
“Is this the only way for you to end up alone?”
“yes?”
“I’m going to be okay. haha.”
“….”
“If you’re really worried, I could give you at least one extra life. how is it? “Even 300 years ago, there was a kid who was given an extra life and used it very wisely.”
“But you can’t use magic now, right?”
“uh? “Oh my gosh.”
“….”
If it weren’t for the Dragon King, I would have hit him once. Rachiel said, suppressing her destructive impulse(?).
“Besides, if it’s for accelerating metabolism, I have a better way.”
“okay? “Then I can use that.”
“…This method itself is not the answer.”
“Tsk.”
“It doesn’t mean it isn’t. Besides, I think you’re saying this because you don’t know how poor my physical strength is, but if I jump around like you said, I’ll really die.”
“Then what do you want to do?”
“First of all, I agree with the idea of extracting antibodies from my body. However, saying that you will create a risk of death by jumping and overcome it… is nonsense. “I’d like to brew some decoction instead.”
“Decoction?”
“yes. “It seems like it would suit my body well.”
In fact, it is a natural story. If you think about it, there is no reason to choose a risky method. You can treat your body with herbal medicine, acupuncture, and moxibustion.
As long as it doesn’t progress to severe disease. What if you endure while boosting your immunity like that? There will be sufficient natural healing.
What after that?
‘You just need to use Asurahan’s mind technique and circle slots. Then, I will be able to extract the antibodies generated in my body and give them to the Dragon King.’
The Dragon King’s idea to secure antibodies through natural healing, plus prescriptions that you can try on your own. I thought that that combination would be worth a try.
Meanwhile, there was a sigh.
It’s Corona again.
“….”
If you think about it, it was the coronavirus that ruined the lives of people living relatively well in Korea.
Not only did it take tens of thousands of unfortunate lives, but it also plunged our life plans into an abyss.
To be honest, I had a pretty good life until the coronavirus outbreak.
Although I did not inherit any property from my parents, nor did I have any accumulated wealth, my job as an Oriental medicine doctor still gave me a decent income.
They said they painted a rosy future.
Because my income was improving. I thought it would continue to be like that.
I also believed that as long as a natural disaster did not occur, a stable life would continue. With that confidence, he took out a large loan and used the funds to open a private oriental medicine clinic.
I was quite confident. Unless there is a natural disaster. If only that didn’t happen. I thought I could manage it somehow.
And then a natural disaster called Corona occurred.
‘Whoa.’
Is this a trauma? I felt like the remoteness I felt at the time was eating away at my heart again. Rakiel shook his head vigorously.
Now is not the time to get lost in useless sentimentality. I told myself that I had to solve the immediate problem first.
“So first, I will deal with it myself.”
“Then what about me?”
“I think you just need a little help.”
“It’s help. for example?”
“Perhaps there are medicinal herbs stored in the Demon Dragon’s Cave… right?”
“of course. So last time, I gave you a teleportation service to bring you the ingredients for the deep sleep bathtub, right? “Now I can’t even use teleportation.”
Dragon King Berkis frowned and scratched the back of his head.
Rakiel asked, wondering if it was possible.
“Then do you know what types of herbs grow naturally in the forest near Demon Dragon’s Cave?”
“Do you think I know that?”
“no.”
“But why did you ask?”
“…sorry.”
I knew it.
There may not be much to expect from the Dragon King. Rachiel worked hard to overcome the difficult situation.
‘First of all, the only medicinal ingredients secured now are the ingredients for the deep sleep bath soup I brought last time.’
Sumyeondaebotang is a decoction that combines Sanjoin-tang and Sammul Golden-tang. This means that there are only Sanjoin, Bokryeong Jimo, Cheongung Rehmannia Root, and Golden Gosam here.
Rakiel frowned as he thought about the ingredients he had.
‘It’s not enough.’
I guess I really need to go around the nearby mountains and look for medicinal ingredients. Moreover, now is not the time to hesitate.
“Then I will go.”
In fact, I felt little signs of chills rising. I wanted to rest. But I endured it. This was because there was no one to go looking for medicine other than himself.
Damian was isolated in a room in the corner of the Demon Dragon Cave. Fortunately, one of the Demon Dragon’s Cave volunteered to take care of Damian.
“Koy? “Kkoii?”
It was a gargoyle that flew in after hearing the news. Rachiel felt relieved as she looked at the gargoyle’s body made of stone statues.
Since it is not a living organism type, I thought it would not be possible to receive the corona from here or the Dragon King and spread it to Damian.
Rachiel finally relaxed and climbed onto the little girl’s back.
“Little girl?”
“Little girl?”
“Are you going to be okay?”
“Kkosuseum?”
“You could give me the coronavirus.”
“Little girl! “Kkosseum!”
“You think I’ll be okay if I wear a good mask and gloves?”
“Kkosuseum!”
“…Okay, thank you. “If anything seems strange, let me know right away.”
“Little girl!”
Kkosemi shouted loudly and kicked the ground. But that was before we even got out of the Demon Dragon Cave.
As I was running down the passage leading to the exit, I saw someone busily waving their hand from ahead.
‘Armor?’
Shiny metallic texture.
Living Armor, a walking magic armor, was waving its hand in this direction.
Like someone trying to hitchhike. Or as if trying to tell you something that needs to be known. Then, finally, Living Armor rushed out into the passageway and blocked the path ahead.
“What?”
Good!
Kkosomi attempted to make a sudden stop.
Thanks to this, I managed to avoid a car accident(?) with Living Armor. However, Living Armor didn’t seem to care about that fact, gesticulating with his hands and eagerly saying something to me.
“Squeak! Squeak? “Squeak!”
“…yes?”
“Beep! “Squeak!”
“Uh, um, I don’t understand what you’re saying, but do you mean… I have something to show you, so please follow me?”
“Squeak!”
Living Armor nodding its helmet.
Immediately, without listening to his response, he turned around and started walking away. I had no choice but to follow him. It was in the opposite direction from the exit.
‘What…?’
I’m sure it’s not a trap. Judging by the generally favorable attitude of the Demon Dragon Cave’s demon beasts, it seems like they are trying to help. This time, I had no idea what kind of help they were trying to give me.
I moved along the dark passage for a while. During this time, many thoughts came to mind and then disappeared like bubbles.
How will the crown prince who remains in Korea fare? Will my friends be okay? And when will I be able to live comfortably?
Fortunately, the time to think did not last long. At some point, the dark passage became wide and bright.
“Pigagak? “Squeak?”
Living Armor pointed to one side with a proud hand gesture. Rakiel narrowed his eyes. Where Living Armor points. There….
“Sweet potatoes?”
Huge amounts of sweet potato leaves and stems filled the aisle. It wasn’t just the numbers. Each leaf was almost the size of a banana, or rather, an umbrella.
“Hey, Living Armor?”
“Off?”
“Is this what you wanted to show me?”
“Squeak!”
“Did you mean to show me the sweet potatoes?”
“Beep!”
Living Armor’s helmet, which had been nodded throughout, moved horizontally at the last question.
In fact, Living Armor did not guide Rachiel because of the sweet potatoes. There was something else he wanted to show.
“Beep, beep!”
Living Armor’s mittens moved and picked up a large leaf. And then he held it out to Rachiel.
“Beep beep beep!”
I tried my best to explain using hand gestures and foot gestures.
It is said that these sweet potato leaves are prized by the Dragon King’s wife. The Dragon Queen, who is an ordinary human, sometimes brews these leaves and drinks them like tea whenever she feels sick, and without fail, her body aches subside.
Fortunately, Living Armor was a master of gestures(?).
The movement is almost like a pantomime!
Thanks to this, after making gestures with his hands and feet two or three times, Rachiel was able to vaguely understand their meaning.
“This? “Do you think the medicine is effective?”
“Squeak!”
“….”
no way.
Rakiel activated her skill towards the giant sweet potato leaf, just in case.
‘Exploring medicinal herbs.’
Ding dong!
[The Herb Search (Lv.2) skill is activated.]
[〈Simani Mode HUD〉 has been activated.]
[It automatically searches for herbs within 10 meters and displays the results in the field of view.]
[Medicine effects useful to patients Herbs with are displayed in fluorescent light green. The more powerful the medicinal effect of the herb, the more vivid the displayed color.]
[Poisonous herbs that are harmful to patients are displayed in fluorescent red. The more toxic the poisonous plant is, the more vivid the displayed color becomes.]
[Treasure hunt time on!]
Jeeeeee!
As Simmani mode was turned on, my vision changed. I looked at the sweet potato leaves with my changed vision.
“…!”
At that moment, Rachiel felt her eyes fill with the roar of the supercharger on the ridge of the Ricebendator rice fields, running through the thick greenery of the overflowing Amazon nature.
The green was such a dark and intense green.
