The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine - Chapter 331
The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 331
Episode 331 Dragon King Berkis (1)
“Where did the crown prince go wandering alone at this late hour, abandoning the precious guard of his hospital bed, and only now come back?”
“…yes?”
Here is Damian’s hospital room.
So, Byeolgung Oriental Medical Clinic.
What if you receive a questionnaire asking you to choose the person who is least likely to come here? The answer would be obvious. I think I’ll answer ‘Emperor!’ before even looking at the options.
Because it actually is.
The emperor is the one who handles the empire’s numerous issues, maintains political balance, and coordinates international power games. The emperor was that busy. I can’t even imagine that I would intentionally come to this annex oriental medicine clinic.
‘Besides, even visiting Damian in hospital?’
There is something about this.
Rakiel hurriedly showed his courtesy as he felt an alarm sounding in his head.
“Crown Prince Raquiel Adria Magentano comes to see His Majesty the Emperor, the rightful owner of this land.”
“It was a greeting that I didn’t even mean to say.”
“….”
“Tell me, crown prince. “Why didn’t you tell me this news voluntarily?”
“yes? If this is news….”
“It is the unfortunate and urgent news that the empire’s most promising sword master has become seriously ill and is in bed.”
“….”
Oh no.
Rakiel felt a pang inside.
And recently, he realized what he had been missing while struggling to manufacture insulin while being preoccupied with the race against time against type 1 diabetes.
‘okay. Damien did a great job publicly at the canonization ceremony. He showed stronger skills than the two sword masters possessed by the imperial family.’
The emperor certainly saw it too.
Maybe that’s why.
‘The imperial family was classifying Damian as a strategic weapon resource.’
Suddenly, the worldview setting in the novel Demon Sword Emperor came to mind. In this world, the Sword Master is a very precious being. The maximum for most kingdoms is to have one or two. Magentano Empire? Even including the margrave guarding the border, there are only six people. No, seven if you add Damien.
‘In other words, in this world, a Sword Master…’
has a status similar to that of nuclear weapons in the modern world.
What if there is a war between two countries and there is no sword master on one side? I can’t stop it. As soon as the sword master breaks into the command center of the other country and dances with his sword, a situation arises where everyone, including the king and commander of the other country, has to find a place in the Tanggeum Market.
Therefore, all countries were always scrambling to secure at least one more Sword Master. The same goes for the Magentano Empire here.
‘However, if Damian, who showed off his status beyond that of an ordinary sword master at the canonization ceremony, is suffering from a serious illness, then…’ It
is the same situation as if a defect or malfunction occurred in a nuclear weapon in possession. This means that it is an urgent issue that requires national management and action.
After thinking that far, Rachiel looked at the emperor with new eyes.
‘That’s why this guy came.’
Come to think of it, he was only focused on treating Damian and did not officially report Damian’s illness to the emperor. Maybe that’s why. The emperor came to this hospital room to visit in person. And speaking of this as if scolding them.
As expected, is that guess correct? The emperor’s eyebrows were seen twitching at a level 3 angle.
“Tell me. Prince. “Why didn’t you report such an important matter to Jim?”
“…I was thinking about reporting after taking preemptive measures.”
“Report after preemptive measures?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Rakiel told the truth.
“Sir Damian Cayenne was in urgent need of treatment immediately after the onset of the disease, so I was making efforts to ensure that the appropriate treatment was not missed at the right time.”
“Was it that urgent?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. “Even now, when I am submitting a belated report to Your Majesty, it feels like gold.”
“Does this mean not to interfere with medical treatment?”
“If you felt that way, I truly apologize.”
“…okay. In any case, these imperial doctors will not be able to treat Lord Cayenne better.”
“That’s too much praise, Your Majesty.”
“It’s something I don’t even mean to say.”
The emperor clicked his tongue and asked, “
Then, what are the details of Sir Cayenne?”
“For now, I have bought some time.”
“Thanks to the drug that the Crown Prince recently made by killing dozens of bulls?”
“Have you heard the news?”
“of course. “Thanks to this, I also heard that even the palace guards, special forces nurses, and maids are getting sick of eating only beef every day.”
“…Oh yeah.”
“Anyway, what does it mean to buy time like that?”
“It literally means that a more appropriate, fundamental treatment is needed.”
“Did you find a way?”
“Fortunately, that is the case.”
“Can you tell me?”
The emperor asked.
There is no reason not to answer.
There is no particular reason to hide it.
Rakiel spoke honestly.
“I plan to visit Dragon King Berkis and ask for help.”
“….”
Was the emperor frightened?
It was difficult to recognize him because he had no expression. However, it was clear that he was a little embarrassed.
“…Keuhum hmmm! Dragon King Berkisra. “When do you plan on leaving?”
“I think we should leave right now.”
“Don’t you need an escort?”
“yes?”
“What if we emergency summoned 1,000 of the most elite SS units and attached them to them?”
“Yes?”
This time, this side was shocked.
At first, I thought the emperor was joking. However, when I looked at the emperor’s eyes, I could not sense even one gram of joking or anything like that.
I’m serious.
Rakiel hastily shook his head.
“It is truly a shameful thing to say, but there seems to be no need for a large-scale bodyguard.”
“Why?”
“This is because in front of the Dragon King Berkis, 1,000 guards and a single fly will have the same meaning.”
That’s true.
Whether it is a force of 1,000 guards or a single fly, the ending of ascending to heaven by becoming a handful of dioxin in many worlds that has been crushed with a single wave of the hand will be the same.
“Are you planning on moving with him?”
The emperor looked to one side. The corner of the hospital room was where his eyes landed. Vampire Lord Hildert, who had been quiet the whole time there, shrugged his shoulders. From the looks of it, it seemed like the Emperor and the Vampire Lord were already spherical.
“That is so, Your Majesty.”
“…If you say so, make your move right away.”
“I will follow your orders, Your Majesty.”
I was wondering what would happen if I got interrupted or tackled, but I was fortunate. In fact, I was even grateful that the emperor urged me to go quickly.
Of course, Rachiel didn’t know.
The emperor’s indifferent eyes looking at him. The faint complexities and concerns contained within. The deep sigh that the emperor swallowed while trying to hide it. Without knowing it, Rachiel quickly moved. I lifted Damian up from the hospital bed and supported him. I snuggled up next to Lord Hildert.
“Lord? Let’s go.”
“I will do it.”
A wave of magical power bloomed from Lord Hildert’s hands. The space around me trembled. The feeling of both feet floating in the air. Or the feeling of riding a surfboard on rolling waves.
…Paaaaah wow!
I felt a little nauseous. My vision went dark and then flashed. The retina was violated as if the eyelids were blinking hundreds of times per second.
Suddenly everything returned to normal.
Wow!
Instead of the neat carpet of the hospital room, I stood on the dirt floor. At the same time, my stomach flipped.
“…Oh my god-”
The inevitable motion sickness struck!
Rachiel nauseated and looked around. The place has completely changed. The pure white hospital room was filled with nothing but a forest scene. And in front, I saw a huge rock wall and cave.
‘Space movement… Did you use teleportation magic?’
So, are the rock walls and caves in front of you the Dragon King’s residence?
It seemed like that. Rachiel raised the hand that supported Damian and asked Hildert.
“Have we arrived?”
“no. at all.”
“…yes?”
“We just stopped by for a moment in a deserted forest on the outskirts of the imperial capital.”
“Why?”
“For some reason.”
Lord Hildert responded as if it were absurd.
“Do you consider teleportation magic to be omnipotent?”
“yes?”
“That thing called teleportation. This refers to a series of operations that extract the entropy, including both the body and soul, of a being called you that exists at a certain point in this vast universe and re-create it at a specific coordinate of space and time. “Do you really think that’s easy?”
“….”
“It’s not easy. Anyway. What if? “If teleportation, which can travel hundreds or thousands of kilometers in an instant, was as easy as you thought, would I have gone so hard to find doctors all over the country?”
“….”
“The only beings capable of such teleportation are Dragon King Berkis and some dragons. “I am impossible.”
“Then…”
No way.
Oh no way.
Rachiel asked, feeling like she wanted to deny reality.
“To get to the Dragon King Berkis’s residence… how many more times do I have to use the same teleport?”
“Um, about 80 to 90 times?”
“….”
“If I do my best, I might be able to get it done within 70 sessions. Instead, you will have to suffer from mana depletion for at least a few days.”
“….”
“Why is your expression like that? “You don’t want to go?”
“Oh, that’s… no.”
I want to cry.
Should I have brought my ears with me?
Rachiel smiled in resignation. And I held Damian tightly.
“Let’s go.”
“It was already going to be like that.”
The Vampire Lord unleashed his magic power.
…Whoa! Oh my god-?
Along with the teleportation magic, the nausea parade was engraved like an echo across countless times and spaces in the vast universe.
♣
Fortunately(?), the teleportation ended in episode 67.
“…Whoa whoa!”
“Are you done with nausea?”
“Oh no. “Oh my god-”
“….”
“I’m sorry, this is my first time doing something like this.”
“That’s right. “The patient who was sick and lying in the hospital bed was fine, but I didn’t know that the person who was supporting the patient would suffer from motion sickness like this.”
“….”
Rachiel became mortified.
Who should I blame when Damian is a being born with strength and he is the epitome of sickly and pitiful(?)? But now was not the time to discuss such trivial matters.
“By the way, Hildert?”
“Hmm?”
“Is it true that we have arrived at the residence of the Dragon King Berkis?”
he asked with serious doubt. It had to be that way. This was still a remote forest. Not a single dilapidated hut was to be seen, let alone the Dragon King’s magnificent residence.
Lord Hildert chuckled as if he had expected to ask that question.
“To be precise, we arrived ‘near’ the residence.”
“yes?”
“Demon Dragon’s Cave, the home of the Dragon King, is a no-teleportation zone. There is a kind of obstruction magic circle spread out, so if you try to enter the teleportation, your whole body…”
“Your whole body…?”
“It will be disassembled and randomly reassembled.”
“….”
“Would it be nice if the tongue were replaced with toes?”
“…I decline that.”
“I agree. So, walk a little bit. “The entrance will be not far away.”
“Oh yeah.”
I walked along the forest path following Rod Hildert. I didn’t notice it at first because of the stomach-churning aftermath, but as I walked, the air in the forest felt really refreshing.
“Whoa… “I really like nature.”
“You like nature?”
“yes. “After being in a crowded city, coming to a remote forest like this makes my heart feel clearer.”
“Hmm well? “Isn’t this a very remote place?”
“yes?”
“Strictly speaking, this is in the mountains about 30 minutes by carriage from the royal capital of the Kingdom of Trivent.”
“Yes?”
“If you go down the path down there, there are about 20 carriages a day that run to the royal capital of Trivan.”
“Yeh?”
“It is a huge mistake and prejudice to say that just because he is the Dragon King, he will stay in a desolate and isolated place. “How convenient is public transportation, such as regular horse-drawn carriages?”
“….”
“That’s why the area near the station is important. “You too, remember this.”
“….”
Ah yes….
Rakiel continued walking, enjoying the feeling that his mind was becoming strange. Fortunately, the entrance to the Demon Dragon Cave, the Dragon King’s residence, was not far away.
‘It’s an ordinary cave, just a little big.’
That was my first impression when I saw the entrance to the Demon Dragon Cave. The size of the entrance is about the same as that of the tunnel entrance in the direction of Uijeongbu on the outer ring road in the metropolitan area. There was no other impression other than its size.
There weren’t even any traps.
“Can I just go in here?”
“of course.”
Hildert chuckled at this question.
“I am the Dragon King. “Does his residence need security or security?”
“Ah…”
When I thought about it, it made sense.
The Dragon King is the strongest among dragons. Perhaps it is the most powerful being among the creatures in this world. That’s why there’s no need for expenses. Because the Dragon King himself would be the most powerful safety measure in the world.
‘After all, if your body is strong, your head won’t suffer.’
If you have overwhelming power, you don’t have to use your brain to create traps or anything. Realizing a new truth(?), Rakiel entered the Demon Dragon’s Cave.
The structure inside the Demon Dragon Cave was also very simple. A winding road? There was none. It’s just a long, straight passageway.
A huge space opened up at the end of the passage. A vast area that is the size of about 10 baseball or soccer fields. A sofa was placed in the center of the place.
I saw a stretched out figure lying on the sofa.
It’s like…
‘…unemployed person in the corner of the room?’
A plastic bag fluttering without any value in a corner of this vast universe. That was the strong(?) first impression Rachiel received upon encountering the Dragon King Berkis.
