How to Live as an Illegal Healer - Chapter 137
137. Tricotti Village 3
Although it is a temporary measure, since the missing body part has been prepared, [suture] treatment can begin.
Kang Seung-hyun took out a tool he had prepared in advance.
“hmm? What is that lemon potion?”
Kim Ho-jeong pointed to the potion that Kang Seung-hyun was taking out.
It was because there was a potion I had never seen before among the magic potions I always used.
“This one? It’s a weakening potion.”
“A weakening potion? Where will you use it?”
A weakening potion is a debuff potion that lowers stats for a certain period of time when used.
Generally, it is used to lower the opponent’s stats while confronting an enemy, so it is not an item that a healer who is treating a patient can use.
“First of all, the mass of flesh made from [imaginary flesh] is not a part of the patient’s own body. It’s a foreign substance of some kind.”
“It’s tricky.”
Basically, the body of a creature has the characteristics of trying to exclude foreign substances. So, even if the magical flesh is attached with [Suture], there is a high probability that the patient’s body will reject it.
“When rejection occurs, pain or necrosis occurs at the wound site, or the thread that connects it breaks, and the best treatment is nullified.”
“Then what should I do?”
“We need to dampen the rejection response.”
What you need at this time is a weakening potion.
By using a weakening potion to lower the patient’s ability, the range or probability of such a rejection reaction can be greatly reduced.
“You can use weakening potions that way. Great!”
“There are other ways to prevent rejection, but using weakening potions is the easiest.”
Weakening potions are easy to obtain and easy to make.
Originally, it is an item that has the opposite effect to the treatment that weakens the physical ability, but it becomes a useful treatment when it comes into the hands of a wild healer.
“Of course, using a lot of weakening potions has the downside of weakening the patient’s body…”
Kang Seung-hyun held up the lemon-colored potion and activated [Thread Pull]. A thin lemon-colored thread was pulled out of the potion.
“This is how you pull it out and use it.”
“oh.”
If you use a long and thin plucked weakening thread, the patient’s body will not be severely weakened.
By [sealing] with this, only the area around the wound can be slightly weakened, so rejection can be safely reduced.
“Then shall we begin? Please recover your stamina.”
“Yes!”
[Spinning the thread]
Kang Seung-hyeon, who handed Kim Ho-jeong a stamina arrow, pulled out the thread from the magic potion and weakening potion. A blue magic thread and a lemon-colored weakening thread were pulled out from the potion.
‘Threading the two threads pulled out through a single needle…’
[Sewing]
Kang started [Sewing] with a needle with two types of thread connected.
[Observation Eye]
‘Apply two effects together with one suture!’
Papa baba babat!
Kang Seung-hyun’s hands moved quickly like a sewing machine and began to sew the wound. The torn off flesh and severed blood vessels were joined together again by the magic thread.
“What is that?”
“I’m stitching the skin!”
“Can I do that?”
The adventurers who were watching looked at the scene in amazement.
“Something seems to be healing wounds…”
“It’s more like repair than treatment, though.”
“Does it seem okay?”
It was absolutely not something a normal healer would do, but it was true that the wounds that were so severe that the bones were exposed were gradually recovering.
“You can’t even recognize Mr. Kang’s latest treatment. There is no such thing as a country boy!”
Kim Ho-jung was talking in a loud voice, but she had secretly turned off [God’s Communication] before spitting it out of her mouth, perhaps because she was afraid to speak openly.
‘Step 1 is clear.’
Kang Seung-hyun, who connected all parts, looked at the patient’s body condition.
‘If only the magical thread was used, the connection would be severed due to the body’s rejection reaction, and the [Seal] might be released…’
Dig!
The weakening thread that was [sewn] together with the magical thread significantly lowered the rejection reaction of the body, so the thread did not easily break.
“Are you done now?”
“Well, up to this point, there is no difference from the existing [sew], but…” The
fake flesh made of [Illusory flesh] does not stick to the body over time, unlike normal bodies. So, if it is not firmly fixed, there is a risk of twisting the mass of flesh before the new flesh grows.
“I need one more job this time.”
“one more?”
“When [sealing], you have to use a little special method to keep it strong and durable for a long time.”
Kang Seung-hyun took out two more new needles from his inventory.
“aka saddle stitch method.”
“Saddle Stitch?”
A suture technique in which two needles are used to cross-stitch holes. Simply put, it is two-handed sewing using one thread.
This method uses a lot more thread than the conventional [sew], but it has great durability because one thread is sewn twice.
“Usually, if one part of the thread breaks, the suture itself comes undone. However, if you cross-sew the thread, the suture will remain even if it breaks.”
Originally, magic flesh explodes like a balloon just by using a skill, but when sewn with the saddle stitch method, its durability greatly increases, so it can withstand skills that consume less magic.
“You’re so good! I should have written it sooner!”
“Of course there are downsides.”
As much as the effect of the saddle stitch is fraudulently good, the disadvantages were enormous.
“This is a more complicated technique than normal [suture], so it takes a long time. Of course, it also takes a lot of stamina.”
Crucially, the saddle stitch belongs to a fairly high-level technique, so it was impossible to try it if you had low proficiency.
If it is sewn poorly, the flesh will be twisted and the patient’s condition will deteriorate.
“It’s a two-handed suturing method.”
“What are you knitting leather for? Wouldn’t it be hard?”
“What is that…”
Kang Seung-hyeon said as he threaded the needle.
Although saddle stitching is a fairly difficult technique for one reason or another.
“Since I have the [Suture] skill, I can shorten the time… Kim Ho-jung can fill up my stamina.”
It didn’t matter to Seunghyun Kang.
“Above all, because I am ambidextrous.”
Because he was a skilled man with excellent dexterity.
“I’ll make this much easier.”
[Suture]
Kang Seung-hyun, who had finished threading, started sewing the saddle stitch with needles in both hands.
Spa ba ba ba ba bat!
The two needles crossed at high speed, resealing the magical flesh more firmly. The thin mana threads overlapped and overlapped to form a more stable form.
‘Speed and precision equal to that of a machine, and durability and stability comparable to hand-sewn!’
Seunghyun Kang’s saddle stitch sewing was a rare technique that combined the advantages of manual work and the advantages of a sewing machine.
‘Everything is good, but my stamina is very low.’
Kang Seung-hyun’s stamina disappeared at a tremendous speed, as it was a complex technique that activated and used both [Observation Eye] and [Suture] at the same time.
swish swish!
“teacher! It’s a new stamina arrow!”
However, since Kim Ho-jung restored stamina each time, there was no stamina depletion.
‘As expected, it was good to have an assistant.’
Kang Seung-hyeon moved his hands without worry and finished the [suture].
“The bandages… I’m out of stock.”
“I thought so, so I brought weeds.”
Kim Ho-jung brought a lot of weeds nearby.
[Cloth making]
The weeds growing in Tracotti were also red due to the influence of the forest, so the fabric they made was also red.
“The visuals are a bit like that.”
“It looks like red tissue paper.”
square square.
Kang Seung-hyeon cut the cloth and wrapped it carefully around the patient’s leg.
‘Finally, when the [Cure Judgment] is activated…’ When the
[Cure Judgment]
skill was used, the patient’s recovery speed increased significantly. Originally, as the body recovers, the probability of rejection will also increase, but
dig!
Due to the weakening chamber in the body, no serious rejection occurred.
Kang Seung-hyun, who checked the condition, said with a smile.
“Okay, it’s over.”
“Oh my God…”
“I can’t believe there is such a treatment.”
“If you rest for three days, you will recover completely.”
When he removed his hand, the patient’s leg had healed so neatly that it was hard to believe that it had just been a bony wound.
“I thought that magic threads were only used to make items, but I never thought they would use them on a human body to heal injuries and strengthen defense.”
Among the party members, a man wearing a black cloak muttered in disbelief.
“That guy is not normal.”
“Your complexion is also very good!”
“I didn’t know there was a guy who could do something like this without wearing heels.”
A self-proclaimed healer who suddenly appeared and did something impossible. The method was bizarre, but the patient was unmistakably cured.
“Thank you so much!”
The first to come to their senses and say thanks was a woman wearing a hood.
“Thanks to you, I was able to heal my colleague!”
The rest of the teammates also began to bow their heads toward Kang Seung-hyun one by one.
“Thank you for treating me!”
“I have never seen such technology in my life!”
“You were such a great healer! I didn’t know much before and I’m sorry for saying it on my own!”
“It could be.”
Kang Seung-hyun replied with a soft face, but
‘This is the pleasure of a wild healer.’
In reality, he was enjoying the satisfaction of looking down at people bowing toward him.
“How much do I have to pay for treatment…”
“Oh, that’s the money.”
“yes? sure?”
“I’ll take the treatment fee as a potion.”
Now, Kang Seung-hyun has used up the few remaining potions for this treatment. All they have are sticky potions and other items like weakening potions.
‘A potion shop in a rural village like this doesn’t have many potions. Magic potions tend to sell out quickly, so I have to get up early in the morning.’
So, in this situation, it is better to receive the potion directly than to receive money.
“Can I really use a potion?”
“Um… do you need a magic potion?”
“I don’t really care about the type.”
“I only have stamina potions.”
“Give me all of that.”
The adventurer party gave away the potion with a bewildered face.
But I didn’t think Kang Seung-hyun was strange.
“You seem a bit unique, but you seem like a good person, right? You did well to believe me too!”
The woman in the hood said with a smile.
The other colleagues nodded in agreement.
“That’s right, if I had just gone, Wilson wouldn’t have been able to get treatment.”
“I must have wasted time looking for a healer.”
“huh? Tracotti doesn’t have many healers? Is there an adventurer’s guild?”
Kim Ho-jung, who was listening to the story from the side, asked with a puzzled face.
There is a high probability that injured adventurers will appear in villages where adventurers’ guilds are originally installed.
Of course, adventurer healers and priests aiming for their pockets also visited a lot.
“Are you two new to Tracotti?”
“Yeah, it’s my first time here.”
The hooded woman sighed and said.
“It’s a town where it’s hard to find healers here.”
