The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 39
Episode 39 Vagus nerve stimulation (2)
Patchouli!
My spine tingled.
The sensation of highly controlled and weakened lightning magic supporting your back. My shoulders suddenly twitched. Rakiel gritted his teeth.
‘Let’s be patient. Just like before.’
Like the dawn when I visited Janetis and experimented. Let’s endure it now, accept it, and absorb it. I made a promise and spun the circle.
Kiyi….
The rotation of the circle surrounding the heart became more intense. The ability to absorb surrounding mana has been activated. Rachiel turned all of that absorption power away.
Kiiiiing-!
All of the mana from the lightning magic that was irritating my back was caught in the circle’s suction power. Absorbed it as is. Compressed. Processed. It was created from a pea-sized chunk of mana. I began to fill it with the power of lightning magic.
Like charging a battery.
‘I feel like I’m a Transformer.’
Or is the charger more accurate?
I had a strange feeling and smiled bitterly. I felt like I was truly becoming a charger as I was taking in the power(?) that Court Wizard Janetis was giving me and adjusting the voltage to charge the mana lump.
‘Anyway, it’s going smoothly.’
It was going as I practiced earlier. 30 minutes like this? It seemed like enough power would be gathered if I kept charging that much.
‘Because vagus nerve stimulation is meaningless with just one electrical stimulation. You have to use it once and use it for the rest of your life. ‘We must be able to prevent epilepsy from occurring by continuously providing electrical stimulation to this child until he dies of old age.’
To do this, we need to store electrical energy that can be used for several decades throughout our lives. It was by no means an easy sheep.
‘But you can do it.’
Let’s just keep going smoothly like this. Rachiel charged the mana lump with lightning magic with a prayerful heart.
Meanwhile, time passed steadily.
5 minutes, 10 minutes and 20 minutes.
The child’s sister heard the news and came running. Many other people also gathered. Damian and Sir Gardin. Special forces gladiators. Guardsmen and several maids. Everyone gathered together from a distance.
I could see them clenching and unclenching their fists as they watched the procedure, not even daring to whisper. Fortunately(?), no one made a fuss, saying, ‘The court wizard is frying His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with lightning magic!’
‘You might be wondering what I’m doing.’
It must be amazing in their eyes. The court wizard is shooting lightning magic at us. This side was hit with lightning magic and pierced the child’s neck with a thorn. No matter how you look at it, it was obvious that it was a strange sight.
So what about Rachiel?
I was satisfied.
‘It has to be like this. It should be more of a spectacle.’
What if a child was treated with this amazing, fresh, and innovative method? So what if you are free from epilepsy seizures?
The onlookers here will serve as witnesses. His Majesty the Crown Prince cured the child in a miraculous way, and he will continue to drink it for the rest of his life. In this way, they will talk about it every time they meet their in-laws, cousins, and neighbors.
That will become a word of mouth.
‘Is there any such thing as voluntary viral marketing?’
Rachiel smiled happily.
Successful viral marketing.
The result was a public relations hit.
The sight of so many patients flocking to the annex oriental medicine clinic was a sight to behold. I couldn’t help but imagine myself treating them well and giving them a lot of bonus life.
‘Ah, I’m so happy.’
I feel full just by imagining it. As the battery(?) was recharged smoothly, Rakiel kept curling the corners of his mouth.
But it was in the meantime.
Wow…!
‘…hmm?’
Suddenly, I felt a strange flow of mana. At first, he thought he had made a mistake while charging electricity to the mana lump. So for a moment, I wondered if the voltage had jumped.
But it wasn’t.
A place where a strange flow of mana was felt. That place wasn’t inside his body. It was the nape of Child Georges’ neck.
Pazsut… Pazssut…!
“….”
wait for a sec.
No way, this.
‘He’s strong.’
Rakiel quickly concentrated his mind. I observed the flow of mana in the child’s body. Then I realized. The ominous and unstable writhing of mana was captured in the vagus nerve that runs through the nape of the child’s neck.
The moment I captured that.
Rachiel’s brow furrowed.
‘Wow Mr.’
Fuck it.
The child’s vagus nerve.
Unstable nerve signals were occurring there. But somehow, the pattern of the neural signals felt familiar. No, to be precise, it is a nerve signal that I witnessed yesterday.
Exactly….
‘It’s the same detonating signal that causes epileptic seizures.’
But what if you feel that signal now?
‘It will explode sooner or later. I’m going to have a seizure.’
Rakiel quickly looked at the child’s details. Breathing, facial expressions, even eye movements.
“…How much longer do I have to stay like this?”
Did you feel anxiety on this side? Or maybe he himself had a strange premonition? The child looked at me and asked. Rachiel smiled lightly and answered.
“little bit more. It’s all over now, so just be patient. Are you fine?”
“yes.”
No, it’s not okay. I don’t know if the child knows, but epilepsy seizures are about to start.
‘Within 3 minutes at most.’
The child’s vagus nerve was becoming more and more active. The unstable nerve signals were gradually becoming stronger. Considering the progress, it seemed certain that a seizure would begin within 3 minutes at most.
‘In the worst case, one minute.’
Before that, the charging inside the mana mass must be completed. The fully charged mana lump must be inserted into the child’s vagus nerve.
But what?
‘There’s not enough time.’
It seemed like it would still take 10 minutes for charging to finish. In the meantime, epileptic seizures will begin. What happens when a seizure starts? Everything from procedures and electrode installation becomes impossible.
‘Then should we stop right now?’
Rakiel was in serious trouble. With so little time left, I had to make a quick decision.
He shook his head.
‘no. If you stop now, neither porridge nor rice will work.’
He could feel it. The tension and anxiety the child feels while undergoing the procedure. That psychological state was stimulating the vagus nerve and causing an unstable nervous response.
The meaning was clear.
‘Even if I stop the procedure now, the next time I do the procedure, it will end up in a similar situation. ‘He’ll show the same signs of seizures.’
What if you slowly give your child time to get used to it so that he or she can become psychologically stable? That might be a possibility. But in the meantime, your time will be wasted.
‘I don’t have time.’
His current life expectancy was 158 days remaining. However, after comforting the child, stabilizing the child psychologically, waiting for the procedure to be successful and word of mouth spreading, only then would patients flock to the villa.
‘I can’t estimate how long it will take.’
Maybe you need more time than your life expectancy. You shouldn’t do that. Because your lifespan will end and you will die.
‘So, we have to see the game now.’
A conclusion has been reached.
How to do it?
Something came to mind.
Rachiel strengthened her resolve. I looked back at Court Wizard Janetis.
“Sir Janetis, I’m sorry I have to ask you this.”
“…yes?”
“Make the lightning magic three times stronger than it is now.”
“majesty?”
“hurry. “I’ll explain why later.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“You don’t die like that. “You probably know it too.”
“…you will be in a lot of pain.”
“doesn’t care.”
“….”
Janetis pursed her lips.
‘Your Highness…’
He looked at Rachiel with the corners of his eyes trembling. Because the crown prince of the empire is enduring pain to treat his child? Are you deeply moved by the noble display of compassion for the sick? When I look at it, the bridge of my nose suddenly becomes cold.
It wasn’t.
It never was.
‘Oh, if I’m going to crack it, I’m going to crack it. ‘I’m from the royal family.’
To be honest, I didn’t feel like it. I wondered what would happen if the crown prince made a mistake and used poison gourd. But I couldn’t help it.
Because I am Eul. Because it’s not easy to make money from other people. Even the person who gives orders is not just a person, but a person next to the emperor in this empire.
It’s so sad that I just have to say yes and follow what A tells me! The joys and sorrows of an employee brought in early in the morning and forced to work overtime by an unscrupulous employer!
‘Anyway, since it started at His Majesty’s command, there will be a lot of people watching, so it won’t be a big deal.’
There shouldn’t be any.
Janetis put all her effort into controlling her magic power. The output was raised just enough to prevent the prince from dying.
Parts!
Lightning magic that became three times stronger hit Rachiel’s back.
“…that town!”
Is this how it feels when you get hit with a Taser? My whole body suddenly convulsed. For an instant, my vision became dark. Sparks flew across my field of vision. My vision became dark again. Sparks flew. It was repeated again and again and again.
I felt like I was going to faint.
I gritted my teeth to keep from losing my mind. A compassionate heart that understands the pain of the sick? A noble promise to save even if it’s just a commoner’s child?
There was no such thing.
The solemn determination that emerges in Raquiel’s mind is…
‘…Gwaaagh! Surgery! Success! certainly! please! Success and word of mouth! Viral! marketing! Awesome oriental medicine clinic! Bonus life bonanza! ‘Illness-free, long and royal life!’
It will definitely succeed. I will make a full recovery for the child. So, I will take all the benefits.
‘…Wealth and fame! Damn the money! Flexuuu-!’
I shouted with hope.
I instilled in myself infinite selfish motivation. I pumped. I mustered up courage. He burned his firm will toward wealth, fame, and money-laden flex.
That’s how I endured it.
The shabby way of thinking was raised to its extreme.
Kiiiiiiiing-!
The Mana Circle roared.
The rotation speed has exceeded the limit. More mana was drawn in forcefully. Absorbed, compressed, amplified and processed. The charging speed of lightning magic has increased dramatically.
Kiaaa-! Partschut! Wow!
A pea-sized chunk of mana began to glow white-blue. Powerful sparks flew in all directions.
Charging was complete.
‘But… it’s not over yet!’
The most difficult step begins now. Rachiel bit her lip until it bled. Pain offset pain. I brought up my final concentration. A lump of fully charged mana. The electrical signals within it were processed again.
‘You must not randomly apply electrical stimulation inside the child’s body.’
In any case, the goal is to suppress epileptic seizures. To do this, we need to control unstable nerve signals originating from the vagus nerve.
‘Those unstable nerve signals. Because it is also biological electrical stimulation. If an opposite signal that is completely symmetrical to that signal can be applied with electrical stimulation… with the same intensity and timing…’
it would be possible to attenuate the unstable nerve signals of the vagus nerve.
‘you can do it. ‘You can do it.’
I encouraged myself.
I recalled the child’s vagus nerve signal pattern engraved in my memory and processed an electrical stimulation signal that was symmetrical to that pattern. It was engraved into a lump of mana.
‘done.’
A highly designed mana electrode was created. It took about 40 seconds to get there. Rakiel checked the child’s condition.
“I… I feel strange.”
The child held this collar tightly.
Before I knew it, my complexion had turned pale.
Rachiel had a hunch.
‘Less than 30 seconds left until the seizure starts.’
It was like this yesterday too, when I started having seizures.
It will be the same today.
His hands became busy.
‘hurry.’
I grabbed the thorn that was stuck in the child’s nape. The charged mana electrodes flowed through the thorns.
Parts!
A small, white-blue glowing electrode passed through the spine and into the child’s throat. The path was controlled by a simple method of thinking.
‘The place to implant the electrode is… the carotid artery.’
I could feel the carotid artery passing right next to the vagus nerve. Meanwhile, the unstable signal of the vagus nerve was growing uncontrollably.
‘Now 15 seconds.’
I could feel it intuitively.
After 15 seconds, the seizure occurs.
His hands became faster.
The mana electrode was extended.
A loop was wrapped around the carotid artery.
Carefully and meticulously but quickly. Like defusing a time bomb. Without the slightest mistake.
Precisely. Moved, stretched, wound, tightened and tied. Trim and connect,
“I uhhh…. uh…?”
The child’s eyes slowly began to roll over. My arms and legs suddenly gained strength.
‘5 seconds.’
Pazzzzzz! Bzzz!
The vagus nerve starts going crazy. Beside him, he rushed to finish the procedure.
“…Ugh!”
The child’s back straightened.
Convulsions began.
It spread to the nape of my neck.
Like an inevitable earthquake.
Like an unstoppable tsunami.
But Rachiel did not avoid. I moved with the determination to stop it at all costs.
‘3 seconds.’
Electrode installation has been completed.
“…Okay.”
The child’s mouth began to foam.
‘2 seconds.’
A loud pulse thumps in the carotid artery.
“…Ugh.”
The child’s head was tilted back.
‘1 second.’
The pulse was racing and the carotid artery wall was swollen. The movement stimulated the mana electrodes. The stimulated electrode was activated.
Patchoux!
The first electrical signal was emitted. Invading the child’s vagus nerve. It clashed with the unstable nerve signals that controlled the vagus nerve.
Rachiel saw the scene in its entirety.
Pazzzzzzzz-!
Nerve signals and electrical impulses.
The two forces collided.
hitting each other
Hit me hard.
Overturned.
And they killed each other. The two signals collided and canceled each other out. In this way, the unstable nerve signals of the vagus nerve completely disappeared.
‘0 seconds.’
The moment Rachiel counted the final count in her heart.
“Ugh, uhm, uhm… huh?”
The tension in the child’s limbs, which had been tense, was relieved. The head that had been tilted back was lifted straight up. The overturned eyes returned to their original positions.
“…brother?”
Before I knew it, the child’s black eyes were looking straight up at me. An unbelievable smile soon blooms. A moment of surprise and astonishment appeared in the eyes of many who watched it.
A new message appeared before Rachiel’s eyes.
Ding dong!
