The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 19
Episode 19. Claiming medical expenses (1)
Kiiiiing!
The low growling sound of the heart.
A clear message ringing in my ears.
The circle began to rotate in reverse.
The mana contained in the circle opened its eyes.
The 10 liters of air contained in the slot resonated with mana. It resonated and fired.
[The material stored in the circle slot is fired.]
Amplified and condensed.
Condensed and contained in a circle.
It came out from the heart.
It ran along the bloodstream.
And finally.
Fuuuuuu-!
A total of 10 liters of condensed air burst out. It expanded and exploded in an instant. The palm of his hand struck the solar plexus of 2nd Prince Theodore, who was holding his hand.
“…Cow!”
It happened in an instant.
Theodore’s eyes widened in astonishment. But it was already too late to react.
‘…ah.’
Is this what it feels like to be hit in the solar plexus with a large hammer? The strength drained from my limbs. My waist was bent arbitrarily. Both feet even floated in the air.
‘I have to… counterattack…’
but it was impossible.
Through his blurred vision, he could see the sword he had lost. The iron sword I always used for practice was falling to the floor.
I wanted to pick it up again.
But I couldn’t.
‘I…’
With that thought, 2nd Prince Theodore’s consciousness was cut off. His body, hit by an unexpected air bomb, flew five steps and fell over.
Kwadangtang! Clang!
The falling 2nd prince and the dropped iron sword. Only that loud sound filled the large bridge. No other voice could come out. Everyone was enveloped in great silence, each with their own astonishment.
Dozens and hundreds of nobles.
There are also thousands of citizens.
Not even a single emperor.
No one could keep their mouths shut.
‘What is this…?’
Everyone had the same thought.
Something is wrong with this. This situation in which the 2nd prince, not the sickly crown prince, collapsed seems like such a lie. No, maybe this could be the 2nd Prince’s intended production.
Even such an absurd thought occurred to me.
‘That’s right. I guess so. I heard that His Highness the 2nd Prince is a sincere and considerate person. I’m sure he did that on purpose for a moment to give his brother the honor of having lost after a struggle. ‘Isn’t that natural?’
‘Oh, is that plausible? So, you’re going to just shake it off and get up and subdue His Highness the Crown Prince as if nothing happened?’
‘I guess so?’
‘No problem. Now that I think about it, that’s true. I guess he thought that if he won too easily and unilaterally, he would feel sorry for his brother, the Crown Prince?’
‘okay. That’s it. As expected of our 2nd Prince, His Highness….’
‘He is a very serious and thoughtful person.’
‘Isn’t it different from guys like us?’
‘also! The one who learned.’
The majority of people whispered, showing off their logic in the face of this unbelievable and unprecedented situation.
This situation can’t be real. There must be a grander reason. Only then can this absurd situation be explained. Everyone guessed, reasoned, and reasoned in their own way.
Among them, the only exception was the emperor, whose eyes were wide open in astonishment.
‘Just now… what was the large joint?’
Emperor Asterion’s eyebrows fluttered.
I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe it even more because I not only witnessed it with my own eyes, but I also felt the resonance of mana through my faint mind.
I felt a surge of mana.
It was clearly an outpouring coming from Rachiel. However, it had a force that was completely different from the usual pouring out of mana.
‘I’ve never heard of anything like that. Or, if it’s at least similar, would it involve blasting?’
blasting.
It was a very powerful advanced technique of Asurahan’s mind. It could be said to be the ultimate technique of colliding multiple circles to create an explosive amplification of mana and focusing it on a single point.
‘Yeah, it was similar to the blasting. But Rachiel?’
The emperor’s eyebrows were deeply wrinkled.
I couldn’t understand.
‘To use blasting, you must have at least three circles. Because two must collide and the other must protect the heart from the repulsive force of the collision. But Rachiel is the holder of the triple circle?’
No, that’s impossible.
The emperor shook his head.
The last person with triple circle ability that he knew was the emperor of the pre-war era. But Rachiel, who has suffered from a chronic illness for over 20 years, has such transcendent abilities. I thought that was impossible.
‘Besides, if what Rakiel just used was really blasting, the second child’s body probably wouldn’t have been blown away.’
Instead of being blown away, it would have been pierced on the spot. It must have been pierced through all of its armor and all, leaving a fist-sized hole in its torso. So what Rachiel just wrote is not blasting.
‘Then what on earth did you do?’
The emperor’s eyes trembled slightly as he looked at Rachiel. Rachiel in that gaze was walking slowly.
I
take my tired body and take one step at a time.
Rachiel approached the fallen 2nd prince.
The eyes of the nobles and citizens lit up when they saw this. It was an eye shining with illusion. The second prince saved his brother’s face by pretending to be hit by an unexpected blow. A considerate older brother who slowly approaches the second prince.
What kind of warm and touching image will emerge between the two? Perhaps the older brother deliberately helped his younger brother who had fallen down for a moment. The younger brother will smile warmly and continue the heartless but strict and solemn battle between the brothers.
The moment everyone thinks…
slap!
Rachiel’s palm slapped the fallen 2nd prince’s cheek.
“Hey man? hey. Come to your senses, come to your senses.”
slap! Slap!
The sound of two or three crashes echoed across the bridge. Thanks to this, the large suspension bridge and its surroundings were filled with extreme silence.
“Oh, I adjusted my strength wrong. Hey hey “Please come to your senses.”
Clap, clap, clap!
“…Phew!”
“Yeah, you’re a good boy. “Wow, this guy is weaker than he looks.”
The 2nd prince coughs violently and opens his eyes.
Seeing that, Rakiel could barely put his mind at ease.
It was good that it was a blow of conversion.
But it worked so well that it became a problem.
‘I didn’t know it would kill you in one hit.’
An explosive jet of 10 liters of compressed air.
It didn’t seem like a big deal, but when I actually used it in a close-quarters situation, the power was no joke. If he had been a little stronger, he would have made the second prince’s ribs run away.
Rachiel looked around.
took off his coat He rolled it up and placed it under the second prince’s head like a pillow. Meanwhile, the 2nd Prince, who had calmed down his cough, was slowly opening his eyes.
‘I…’
I felt dizzy.
I felt sick all over.
But my whole body was hot.
My pulse continued to pound in my ears.
It felt similar to that day when I was a child and took a sip of alcohol by mistake, thinking it was water. It felt like my whole body was floating in the air.
“Haha… Hahaha….”
“Are you laughing? Huh. I really got drunk. “Just wait a moment.”
Rakiel stretched out his hand.
I took off the 2nd prince’s boots.
The taechunghyeol (太衝穴) of both feet were pointed out.
The location is the point where the roots of the 1st and 2nd metatarsal bones on the top of the foot meet. That is, it was the top of the foot where the roots of the big toe bone and the second toe bone meet.
‘This is the perfect place to relieve a hangover.’
Taechung acupuncture point was the original acupoint of the last of the 12 meridians, the Jokgwol Yin Gan meridian. It was also a place that could have a great influence on liver function.
‘Now like this.’
Rakiel pressed the 2nd prince’s fetal sinus with all his force.
Even though I didn’t bring any needles.
I started acupressure with all my might.
Ouch!
Then the second prince showed an immediate and dramatic reaction.
“…Kwaaaak!”
The 2nd prince twisted his back as if he was going crazy.
But Rachiel did not stop acupressure. Rather, he worked even harder to loosen the hardened fetal blood vessels. At the same time, I used the Jinmaek skill.
[Begin taking pulse.]
[Scanning.]
[3… 2… 1…]
[The pulse results are in.]
[Please check the
below.]
Ding dong!
[Beginner Comprehensive Checkup Table]
[Test Subject: Teodor Palermo Magentano]
[Race: Human]
[Gender: Male]
[Age: 19 years old]
[Height: 184.1 Cm]
[Weight: 71.3 Kg]
[Blood Type: Rh+ A]
Just the number Just by looking at it, the physical specifications of the 2nd prince, who seemed sturdy, came to mind. Below that, heart function, lung function, liver function, etc. were all healthy as well.
However, what Rakiel wanted to see was not the second prince’s specifications. He looked at the general opinion that appeared at the bottom.
[Comprehensive opinion: This is an extremely healthy and balanced body in all aspects. However, high blood alcohol levels are currently being detected due to excessive binge drinking. Drinking plenty of fluids and getting adequate rest are recommended.]
‘As expected.’
He glared at the comprehensive findings and continued to apply pressure to the fetal congestive acupuncture points. How much did I press until my fingers started to feel numb? Around the time when the 2nd prince’s feet were bruised. Finally, two lines of text were added to the comprehensive opinion section.
Ding dong!
[Currently, the patient receiving treatment is receiving acupressure pressure on the fetal sinus acupoint and blood circulation is improving. The alcohol in the patient’s blood gathers into the fetal blood.]
Rakiel’s eyes shined.
‘good.’
He had been waiting for this moment.
He immediately activated the Asurahan Mind Act.
Kiiiiing-!
The circle started spinning.
A flow of mana arose. It further stimulated the fetal blood vessels. Immediately after that, he strongly pressed down on the invulnerable acupoint in the solar plexus.
The effect was immediate.
“…kup!”
Whoosh!
The 2nd prince spit out a mouthful of gastric juice. It was a liquid bomb liquor extract with a strong alcohol smell. The 2nd prince’s reddened face cleared up in an instant. It was thanks to the alcohol that had completely subsided.
‘…uh?’
2nd Prince Theodore blinked. I had a strange feeling while the tops of both my feet and solar plexus were throbbing like crazy.
‘what? I…’ I
was clearly feeling like I was in a trance just a little while ago. I felt dizzy, as if I was heavily drunk. It was so painful that it felt like my stomach was going to turn over.
But that unpleasant feeling was completely gone. Even my mind was becoming clearer. It was just that the crown prince was massaging the top of his foot and he vomited once.
Theodore raised his upper body in a dazed mood.
“Hey, I…”
“Shh.”
The crown prince looked back with a strange smile.
“wait. “If you want to get over your hangover properly.”
“….”
Hangover.
What do you mean?
Of course, I didn’t drink a single sip of alcohol. But why was it that I was staggering around like I was drunk just a moment ago? And why on earth does the crown prince’s hand massaging his foot feel so cool even though it hurts? Can the flow of mana be detected within it?
At that moment, Theodore opened his eyes wide.
“Hey, this can’t be right now….”
“Uh. that’s right.”
“How on earth…”
“How can you?” “It’s only now that we’ve started using it too late.”
“….”
Only then did Theodore slowly look around.
The first thing I saw was an iron sword for sparring lying around. A handle full of hand grime. It was his familiar sword.
Beyond that, I could see the guards running hastily towards us. A large crowd could be seen watching behind the guards. There was also an image of the emperor clutching the armrest.
Everyone was unrealistically quiet.
As if he couldn’t believe this situation. As usual, everyone was immersed in great silence and silence.
Then, suddenly, enlightenment came.
“Have I lost my mind?”
“why? “Don’t you believe it?”
“….”
“are you okay. Honestly, I don’t believe it either.”
“Hey…”
“Huh?”
“By the way, brother, there is blood on your forehead.”
“this? ah. It hit the inside of the shield. “When you hit me with your sword earlier.”
“Are you okay?”
“Oh, I’m sure it’s better than you.”
The crown prince smiled as he wiped the blood stains from his forehead with his sleeve. The immense fatigue behind that smile was briefly visible. I don’t know about others, but only I could recognize that smile right in front of me.
‘You really fought with all your might.’
I finally became embarrassed.
The fact that he lost to the crown prince, who was naturally weak?
It wasn’t.
While the crown prince was fighting, giving everything even with his weak body and pouring out all his might just for the sake of victory… what was his attitude towards this fight?
‘I was arrogant.’
Just like everyone else did.
I had no doubt that I would win this match. He acted as if the victory was determined to be his.
So that his brother would not be humiliated in front of everyone. So that we can at least keep our face and honor. He said he would finish the game quickly. He said he had arrogant and arrogant thoughts.
Naturally, I never once thought about my own defeat.
‘That’s why you lost. ‘Today I am.’
There was no room for excuses.
The more I looked back, the more embarrassed I became.
His brother fought with all he had despite his weak body. Even after winning, he was not flattered.
Rather than experiencing the joy of the winner, he felt the pain of the loser. Before cheering and declaring victory, he chose to take care of himself as he collapsed and fainted.
I massaged this foot by hand.
It would have been something that could have been done to the subordinates.
He showed kindness without any hesitation.
‘I…’
He was a person who fell far short of the crown prince, no, his brother. But without even knowing it, I had been implicitly ignoring you all this time.
Second Prince Theodore truly reflected and felt ashamed. I had no choice but to acknowledge the crown prince.
“….”
He gave in with his heart and got up.
To protect the honor of the winner.
To have the dignity of a loser.
Still dizzy, I got up and got down on one knee. He bowed his head towards the crown prince in front of everyone.
“I, Second Prince Theodor Palermo Magentano, officially acknowledge today in front of His Majesty the Emperor and everyone that I lost the battle against Crown Prince Raquiel Adria Magentano.”
It was a sincere declaration of respectful respect and gratitude. The moment when that clear declaration was directed to Rakiel. An unexpected message appeared before Rachiel’s eyes.
Ding dong!
