The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 398
Episode 398 He knows the answer (2)
“The maintenance of your new camp has been completed.”
“Hmm.”
A familiar voice knocking in my ear.
Margrave Alkantar Asrahan raised his pensive gaze. The adjutant’s appearance was visible. Looks pretty haggard. Could it be that I was exhausted from the forced march that had been going on for several days? no. It’s probably the effect of something called ‘radioactivity’ that His Majesty the Crown Prince mentioned.
Adjutant too.
Soldiers too.
I also.
The Margrave nodded privately towards his nephew, his lieutenant.
“You had a hard time.”
“It was nothing. “There is still much work to do.”
“no. It’s done. “Let’s rest for today.”
“yes?”
The adjutant blinked.
The Margrave smiled faintly.
“I guess you want to say that there is still a lot of work to do, right?”
“Oh yeah. Of course…”
“I will do it for you. Wouldn’t it be enough to check the soldiers’ nighttime alert status and supervise support for His Majesty’s medical activities? Right?”
“That’s true. But…”
“It’s done.” Take a break today. “Starting tomorrow, I’ll be rolling it non-stop.”
“…I’m sorry, my lord. No, there is no shame. “Uncle.”
“Don’t fuss.”
“Yes, my lord.”
The adjutant bowed his head without a word. He knew very well the character of the margrave whom he served. The lord, who has the same look in his eyes as now, receives no objection. The only way is to follow it.
“If you do, I will just leave.”
“okay. “Please focus on getting a good night’s rest.”
“I will obey your orders.”
The adjutant retreated.
The Margrave sighed softly. Stomach still feeling slightly queasy. The end of the occasional blurry feeling of dizziness. Did the Crown Prince say this about this symptom?
– Those are symptoms of radiation exposure.
“….”
Following the prince’s advice, we left the collapsed fortress. As if that wasn’t enough, they had to go more than 10 kilometers away from the fortress and set up a new camp.
Even after spending almost half a day like that, I honestly still don’t know. What is radioactivity and what does exposure mean?
‘Is this something like an evil addiction spell?’
It seemed similar to something like that. Judging by the symptoms he and his adjutants were showing, that is.
‘Then I guess it’s not the time for me to just rest.’
Even at this very moment, soldiers who have been exposed to radiation are receiving emergency medical treatment from His Highness the Crown Prince. Even those with mild symptoms may be in a certain state during the night. Having forced the adjutant to lie down on his bed of rest, the direct responsibility of caring for and managing the soldiers tonight fell upon his shoulders.
“Whoa.”
A slight feeling of dizziness strikes again.
The Margrave shook his head with a sigh, gathered his resolve, and got up from his seat.

“Well, this is how the hour hand is finished. “Can you get up?”
“Ah yes, Your Highness.”
“Huh? But don’t get up all of a sudden. slowly. Wow.”
“Seo Seong-eun is devastated.”
“This is a complete disaster. Don’t be sick. next!”
Rakiel’s voice rang out loud from the temporarily erected medical barracks. The next soldier, who had been waiting for his turn, entered the barracks.
Rachiel hit the medical cot with a deft hand.
“lie down.”
“Yep, Your Highness.”
A soldier with a slightly pale complexion lay down on the bed at the speed of light. Perhaps it was because he had seen the crown prince right under his nose that he had become more disciplined.
Rachiel felt the soldier’s pulse.
Ding dong!
[Starting the pulse.]
[Scanning.]
[3… 2…1…]
[The pulse results have been received.]
[Please check the
below.]
Rakiel received the pulse results. paid attention to
[Comprehensive medical checkup]
[Target of examination: Ugo Gista]
[Race: Human]
[Gender: Male]
[Age: 21 years old]
[Height: 174.3cm]
[Weight: 66.7kg]
[Blood type: Rh+ A]
[Comprehensive findings: In general, you have a healthy body. However, I was recently exposed to about 0.9 Sv (Sievert) of radiation in a short period of time. Additionally, temporary abdominal pain, nausea, fatigue, dizziness, and male infertility are detected as acute symptoms.]
As expected.
Rakiel frowned and called out the five internal organs who participated in the Jinmaek skill.
‘Everyone, please report the results of the consultation.’
The answer came right away.
Ding dong!
[Your five internal organs consult with Ugo’s five internal organs and report the results of the diagnosis.]
[Heart: … male… infertility… he… is a eunuch… ㅜㅜ]
[Lungs : Phew….]
[Captain: Lung brother? Didn’t you quit smoking?]
[Soy Sauce: Leave it alone. At least for the moment when I witnessed such a tragic tragedy.]
[Camouflage: Hey, isn’t that disguise over there no joke? I’m feeling nauseous. But does it make sense to only focus on infertility?]
[Kidney: Isn’t it obvious?]
[Spleen: In an era where population decline is still a concern!]
[Bladder: But those are all temporary symptoms, right? I was told that if I eat well, rest, and take care of myself, it will go away in no time. Over ㄴㄴ]
[Five organs and six parts report: It is certain that symptoms of acute radiation exposure are detected overall. However, the level of radiation exposure is so minor that it is within the range that can be sufficiently covered by the cell’s self-repair function. No worries. These symptoms will disappear naturally if you rest well and take care of yourself while preventing additional radiation exposure. [Is that so?]
…I guess that’s true.
“Whoa.”
thank god.
Rakiel breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the results of the examination. Like the other soldiers, the soldier in front of me was receiving radiation exposure that did not exceed 1 Sievert.
Temporarily mild acute symptoms are visible. However, if managed well, it is just at the level where natural recovery can be expected.
‘It’s a good thing I hurriedly chased down the margrave.’
What would have happened if it had been two days or even one day late? That is why the soldiers, including the margrave, would have been exposed to more radiation. Perhaps it has reached an irreversible point. Oriental medicine? No matter how legendary a person is, he or she is helpless in the face of radioactive contamination.
“….”
Rakiel suddenly remembered something that happened not long ago.
The Margrave teaches Damian the art of multi-manahat. Damian, who was forced to do ridiculous multitasking, sighs every day. He looked at it and giggled all day.
It was a peaceful day, even if only for a moment.
In the meantime, the border crossing arrived. As soon as I arrived at the Margrave’s residence, I sent out an urgent report while being thoughtful. At that time, he was able to read the contents of the dispatch together with the Margrave.
[Border disaster occurs. Cause unknown. A plague outbreak is strongly suspected. Many villages are suffering a blow similar to annihilation. We request a quick investigation and prevent the spread of the situation.]
The Margrave immediately organized an investigation team. At the time, he expressed his intention to accompany them. But did the Margrave shake his head?
‘In times like these, Your Majesty must stay in a safe place and protect your body. That is my duty to His Majesty who visits my jurisdiction.’
The Margrave’s eyes and attitude as he answered… were so resolute. Moreover, it was not just the Marquis who stopped him. The commander of the guard corps provided by the emperor also had a blood clot on his temple and held onto his trouser leg to stop him.
I said no.
Absolutely not.
Better cut off your own head. No, if you persist and go, he will swallow poison from that day on.
In the end, I had no choice but to give up my stubbornness due to the sanctification of the people around me. On the other hand, I thought I should take a step back and observe the situation.
So he remained at the Margrave’s mansion. But I still didn’t feel good. It was somehow fierce. It didn’t take long to be convinced that that strong feeling was correct.
It was around three days after the Margrave investigation team left. A second dispatch arrived from the border area and arrived at the Margrave’s mansion. It was accompanied by some evidence brought from the scene of the disaster.
It was a corpse that appeared to belong to a villager. According to Pabal, he brought it because it seemed to be in good condition. Did you say that you hoped to uncover the identity of the plague or the evil eye by digging into the condition of the corpse?
It was then.
As soon as I looked at the villager’s corpse, a red warning message appeared before my eyes.
[WARNING!]
[High-risk levels of the radioactive isotope Sodium (Natrium)-24 are detected in a specific target at close range. warning! warning! We strongly recommend that you immediately distance yourself from radioactive materials and protect yourself!]
At first, I thought I had seen something wrong.
Radioisotope.
Sodium-24.
As soon as I saw the warning message, I got goosebumps.
Originally, sodium is an essential component for the human body. It preserves the osmotic pressure of cells and plays a very important role in the transmission of signals within nerves. Naturally, the human body is bound to be rich in sodium.
But what about sodium-24?
different.
It is a radioactive isotope that is created when the normal sodium present in the human body changes when the human body is exposed to neutron rays for some reason.
That means….
‘Stay away! everyone! hurry!’
He said he shouted.
I realized it at the same time.
This is the essence of what is happening at the border.
‘Something unidentified is walking around spraying high-risk levels of radiation. A village on fire everywhere? This is probably due to the high heat emitted by fissile materials that have exceeded their critical mass as they cause a nuclear chain reaction.’
So it’s simple.
This is a radioactive contamination incident.
However, both the Margrave and the investigation team will be ignorant about radioactivity. react? I can’t do it. Because you won’t even be able to figure out the cause. The conclusion was that if left alone, they would all die.
So he hastened his departure.
The commander of the escort corps who is still strongly dissuading? I pressed it with a command. It was accompanied by a strict order that any further violation of his will would be considered treason.
And then we set off. I gathered a lot of items from the warehouse of the Margrave’s mansion that would be needed to respond to future radioactive situations. Along with Damien, Urus Special Forces, and other necessary personnel.
Fortunately, it was not difficult to trace the margrave’s traces. This was thanks to the fact that it was a very large investigation team. He followed suit. I witnessed the devastation of several villages. All of the trainees that the Margrave had left there also joined him. It was obvious that if left behind, there would be continuous exposure to radiation.
We also did not forget to prevent radioactive fallout damage that could occur in the village that was reduced to ashes. He covered his entire body with a hood and windbreaker and covered his mouth with a makeshift mask. My eyes were covered with goggle-like goggles.
Just like that, I ran and ran, saving day and night. Finally, today I caught up with the Margrave. He immediately informed the margrave of the danger of the situation.
Fortunately, the Margrave obediently followed our advice. Although he still didn’t seem to understand radiation or exposure, he seemed to feel that the situation was unusual.
“Whew. Ego. “It’s all over, so get up.”
“Ah yes, Your Highness.”
While I was lost in thought, the clock was finished. Rakiel advised, removing the thorn that was inserted into the acupuncture point that stimulates the soldier’s metabolism and aids diuresis.
“Don’t overexert yourself for the time being and get some rest. “Don’t forget to drink plenty of lukewarm water often and in small sips.”
“I will follow your orders, Your Majesty.”
The soldier walked out of the medical barracks feeling relieved.
Rachiel mechanically called the next soldier.
“next.”
Flap!
The barracks door was opened.
An incredibly handsome middle-aged man with the style of a Hollywood actor came in with a face shining like a self-luminous diode.
“Margrave?”
“Your Highness, is there anything I can help you with?”
“uh. there is. “Please leave.”
“…yes?”
“You have to treat the soldiers.”
“Well, that’s true, but…”
“I guess we came here to discuss the future. Am I right?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Then welcome. “I was planning on going to see you after the treatment tonight.”
Rachiel smiled as if shaking off her fatigue.
The Margrave asked with a stern expression.
“Your Highness, what do you plan to do from now on?”
He was curious.
Is it radiation or exposure?
The border was literally being devastated by some unknown evil magic. We must chase down and destroy the evil beast as quickly as possible. But how? I couldn’t sense it.
But strangely enough, I didn’t feel anxious. When I was blindly chasing an unidentified beast, I felt hopeless. That wasn’t the case anymore.
It was thanks to the crown prince.
He said he would have a solution. He said he would show a clear path. Although it had no basis, I felt a strong belief.
And indeed, Rachiel did not betray the Margrave’s trust.
“The solution is simple. The goal is to chase down and destroy the radioactive beasts as quickly as possible to prevent the spread of damage. “For that, we will have to form a small, elite pursuit team.”
“A small number of elites… you mean?”
“Hmm.”
“But your highness? It’s because I don’t understand your words very well. “Is there any reason to form a small, elite pursuit team?”
The Margrave asked, feeling puzzled.
Why does it have to be a small number of elites?
Because of the rapid pace of advance?
The margrave’s guess was wrong.
“There’s a reason. “Special equipment would be needed to prevent continuous radiation exposure during the chase, but that equipment would not be able to be produced in large quantities in a short period of time.”
“What do you mean by special… equipment?”
the margrave asked.
Rachiel answered sharply.
“Full body armor made of magical materials and plated with lead.”
