The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 38

Episode 38 Vagus Nerve Stimulation (1)

Court Wizard Janetis’ eyes bounced bounced aimlessly.

“…Me?”

“huh.”

“…why?”

Janetis was embarrassed. It was also absurd that the crown prince suddenly burst into his bedroom in the middle of the night. But to come and ask for a favor like this…

‘Do you want me to lighten your back with lightning magic?’

why?

why?

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t even guess why. Rather, more question marks appeared in my head. Along with the conversation I had with the emperor the day before.

‘Rakiel, he’s changed a lot these days. ‘They’re doing such strange things.’

I remembered the emperor’s grumbling voice. Did the emperor also say this?

‘They’re really doing all sorts of things. I wonder what kind of bizarre things they’ll do after the big joint.’

The emperor’s sigh at the end of his words also came to mind. Clearly, those words were complaints and lamentations. But there was something strange. Even as he complained and sighed, the corners of the emperor’s mouth somehow turned up.

Of course, Janetis, who served the emperor all his life, knew very well what mood his master was in when he spoke in such a way.

‘He was clearly satisfied. Contrary to what you were complaining about.’

The emperor was proud of the crown prince. His lord was proud of having such a son. The ruler of the empire was barely suppressing his desire to go around the neighborhood saying, ‘My child has changed.’

‘That’s right. Everyone becomes so desperate when they have children. But your majesty. Didn’t the Crown Prince say that things have changed? But what changed was… something like this?’

Janetis raised her head.

Crown Prince Rachiel is standing in front of you. When I saw that, I wanted to cry.

“Why should I harm Your Highness?”

“hmm?”

“Are you walking in the middle of the night because you need my life?”

“…Oh, that’s not it.”

“If you come-”

“Wait a minute. I guess there was a misunderstanding. Asking to shoot lightning magic at my back doesn’t mean asking you to kill me. “I don’t even mean to fry it until it’s crispy.”

“What if I do it?”

Janetis asked back with a puzzled look on her face. Rakiel smiled brightly.

“I’m not trying to ask you a strange favor, so you can rest assured. So what I mean is that you want to be given perfectly constant electrical impulses that are as weak as static electricity that will never kill a person, for at least three hours.”

“…Yes?”

“Can you do it?”

“….”

Janetis closed her mouth.

Originally, lightning magic was a very destructive attack type of magic. It’s difficult to cast, but if successful, it’s not like it would devastate the surrounding area. In particular, the lightning magic cast by a high-ranking wizard like himself was tantamount to a small-scale disaster.

But I want you to reduce it to just the power of static electricity and keep it constant for 3 hours.

“majesty?”

“Hmm?”

“That’s what your Majesty just said. “Do you know that this is an incredibly difficult request?”

“uh. So, you’re not here to visit Sir, are you?”

Rachiel answered as if it were obvious. It really was a natural thing to say.

‘It’s difficult. It’s very difficult. ‘It’s really difficult to keep a weak and constant attack for a long time when it’s originally a destructive type of magic.’

This required extremely precise mana control.

‘For example, something like that. Hellfire magic approaching 5,000 degrees Celsius. One is to fire the hellfire 10 times in a row, and the other is to control the flame to only burn warmly at 40 degrees Celsius and fire one shot. Which of the two is more difficult is overwhelmingly the latter.’

How about an analogy to everyday life?

It might be similar to driving.

It’s easy to suddenly step on the full accelerator. However, driving by carefully dividing the accelerator into 10 or 20 steps and maintaining the RPM as intended is relatively more difficult than full accelerator. The reason he came to visit court wizard Janetis today was because of the same principle.

“You are the best wizard recognized in this empire. That’s why I came to see you. It is not common for someone to be able to reliably achieve such meticulous mana control. “It’s something that can be trusted and entrusted to you only if you have the level of respect for it.”

“….”

“how is it? “Are you afraid now?”

“Hmm yes, Your Highness. “But may I ask why you are asking me such a favor?”

“no.”

“….”

“I don’t mean to do anything bad. I’m doing this to save people. So are you going to do it or not?”

Rachiel asked. Janetis stroked his white beard with a puzzled look.

“Hehehe! Huh! To be honest… it is true that a sense of challenge arises, Your Highness. Do you-”

“Do you do it?”

“Just in case…”

“What if I do something wrong?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Janetis expressed anxiety.

Rakiel chuckled.

“are you okay. “I won’t hold you responsible.”

“…yes?”

“Even if I get hurt, you will never be reprimanded. Ah, if you don’t trust me even if I say this, let me use the guards here as witnesses.”

“…!”

The eyes of the Royal Guard knights turned dark.

Everyone became of one mind and one accord.

‘Me?’

A question came to mind as I looked at the back of Rachiel’s chestnut-like head.

‘why?’

But that was a question that could not be asked. Meanwhile, Court Wizard Janetis nodded.

“Well, if your highness says that, I understand. “I’ll give it a try.”

“good. “Well thought out.”

“I wonder when I can do what you said.”

“now.”

“yes?”

“There’s no need to delay. Besides, it’s better now. “When the sun rises, there will be more people to interfere.”

It was true.

When the sun rises, it becomes difficult to proceed with work. They may try to lower the power, but in the end, the court wizard will fry the prince with lightning magic. There will be more people clinging to it and tearing it apart than the squid sold at the early morning fish market.

“So right now. here.”

“…Oh, I understand.”

Janetis took a deep breath. Rakiel also made up his mind and sat down on the floor.

‘I’m just going to test it out first.’

In any case, it was a matter of receiving electrical stimulation directly. The task was to process the stimulus and deliver it to the child’s vagus nerve.

So you can’t just try it blindly. First, you have to test it. Minimum stability must be secured. So I strengthened my resolve and took my stance. I slowly awakened my dull state of mind.

Kiiiiing….

The circle slowly rotated. Ready to accept external mana and stimulation. At that time, Janetis’ voice was heard.

“Are you ready, Your Highness?”

Instead of answering, I nodded. Janetis’ expression became solemn.

“If you come, I will shoot you.”

With those words, Janetis crossed her hands in front of her chest. A pair of palms and ten fingers were entangled and then untangled. A complex seal was formed and the flow of mana was rearranged. Tied and knotted, a rule was formed.

yet.

…Pachit!

A small spark was born in the air. And without any time to react, it was fired in this direction.

Parts!

‘…Tegeuiup!’

My shoulders suddenly flinched.

It stung.

It was a stinging sensation five times greater than the full-power static electricity produced by a sweater that had not been blessed(?) with fabric softener in the middle of winter. But it wasn’t to the point of death.

‘good. Just right. ‘I knew it would be like this.’

Sir Janetis is a court wizard of the Empire. Court mage is not a position to be won by hitting GoStop. This is proof that he is officially the strongest wizard in this country.

‘I thought I would be able to easily fulfill this request.’

Even in the novel Demon Sword Emperor, it was mentioned that Sir Janetis’ mana control ability reached master level. I believed it and carried out the experiment.

The result was successful.

‘Then now it’s my turn.’

Sir Janetis had lived up to expectations, so now it was their turn to exert themselves. Rachiel further increased the absorption power of the Mana Circle.

Kiiiiing-!

The rotation speed of the circle increased.

The tingling sensation felt from being hit by lightning magic has dulled. That much more current was absorbed and contained in the circle.

‘You can’t just absorb it. Next is processing.’

A small chunk of mana was created in the center of the circle. At first, it was the size of millet. It contained the energy of lightning magic.

It wasn’t just about putting it in. Electric signals were engraved. Like a pattern. Like drawing a graph. Like putting together a program. So that the millet-like mass of mana emits a certain pattern of electrical impulses to the surroundings.

The shape was refined and the function was tailored.

And watched.

Patchoot Patchoot!

As if the heart was beating, the completed mass of mana began to emit weak electric signals. He was following the pattern exactly as he intended.

‘This is a complete scam.’

Rakiel was surprised even though he did it himself.

I never thought it would be successful in one hit. I thought I would have to practice for at least a few days. When I actually tried it, it was easier than I thought.

That’s enough.

Rakiel raised his head. Feeling the electric magic with my whole body. He continued to shake his upper body and said.

“…that grun… that last time…!”

Court wizard Janetis tilted her head. Could it be that I didn’t understand what was being said?

I shouted again.

“Gmüntsrg!”

“Are you telling me to stop…shoot?”

“My back hurts! “Mmmmmmm!”

Janetis was belatedly surprised. The magic casting has stopped. It was the end of a successful experiment.

Now is the time for the real procedure.

♣

When I returned to the villa, it was dark and morning was coming.

“So it’s going to sting a bit from now on.”

“It stings?”

“huh.”

Rachiel nodded.

Is it because I woke up in an unfamiliar villa? A bit of tension appeared on Georges’ face.

“I won’t tell you not to be nervous. Basically, medicine is used and the procedure is stinging. “I won’t lie to you.”

“Does it… sting a lot?”

“Um, just slightly?”

“How much?”

“Is it just a joke?”

“Ugh, I don’t like being pinched.”

“Have you been pinched a lot?”

“To Lily.”

“friend?”

“no.”

“then?”

“My girlfriend.”

“….”

I suddenly felt sad.

“Whew. “I feel betrayed.”

“yes?”

“Uh no. “Shall we lie down first?”

laid the child down

I took out the little one.

“Little girl, I’m sorry for breakfast. “Can you give me one white thorn?”

“Little girl!”

Wow!

I accepted the pure white thorn. Georges’ eyes widened when he saw the thorn.

“That…”

“It’s okay. “You’re not going to cry just because you got slightly stung by this, right?”

“It looks like it’s going to hurt…”

“If you cry, Lily will tell you.”

“….”

“what. why. what.”

“….”

“And you’ve already been stabbed.”

“yes?”

“I just stabbed you. “You didn’t know, right?”

Rakiel grinned. It’s not that it wasn’t, the thorn was already stuck in the back of the child’s neck. It was thanks to the fact that while we were just chatting, I had applied a needle to the human body acupuncture point on the side of the nape of my neck.

“look. “I said it didn’t hurt.”

The child was confused at first, but finally felt relieved. I looked at that and then looked away. Court wizard Janetis was there.

‘now. Let’s get started.’

A signal was sent.

Janetis nodded. The lightning magic he was preparing was fired in this direction.

Patchoux!

A tingling sensation down the spine.

At the same time, it raised the faint state of mind.

Of course, at this time, Rakiel had no idea. Vagus nerve stimulation is being performed on your child today. Find out what unexpected achievements you will receive as a result of this procedure.
