The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 40
Episode 40 Vagal nerve stimulation (3)
[The level of the hazy mind technique increases.]
A new message appears before your eyes.
A tingling sensation still remains throughout my body.
Rachiel took a deep breath, subsiding the pain. I watched the messages emerge over and over again.
[Skill Name: Asurahan Mind]
[Level: Single Circle Lv. 2]
[Absorbs surrounding mana. It is used by processing/amplifying the absorbed mana into a circle around the heart. Each time the number of circles increases, the amplification rate increases significantly.]
[Mana amplification rate: 130%]
[HP required for next level up: 1200]
[Currently possessed HP: 200]
The level of Psychic Magic increases and the amplification rate increases by 10%. But the message didn’t end there.
Ding dong!
‘Surely there is a reward? ‘Is there anything else?’
That assumption was correct.
[You successfully withstood the strong electrical stimulation applied in a short period of time.]
[This stimulation activated the gold energy in the lungs and large intestine, which greatly strengthened the wood.]
[Golden wood. ), the organ of the five viscera and six organs with the nature of the throat, the liver, is opening its eyes.]
[Your liver has awakened.]
[Liver: Receive a new soldier!]
[Heart: What is it? Newbie?]
[Lung: Lung… Pahak… Pahahak….]
[Captain: Am I not the youngest anymore? Brothers, I’m shaking lol]
[The soy saucer donated 300 HP to you.]
[The Lung and Heart captain was happy to recruit a newbie and donated 500 HP.]
[The soy saucer’s birthday party was held inside you. . As a result, an additional 300 HP is acquired.]
[Currently possessed HP: 1300]
“….”
Suddenly, I gained a new member of the Five Internal Medicine Club. Rakiel clenched his fists.
‘exorcism. Seriously good!’
HP received a lot of support.
That wasn’t all.
HP is a precious resource that allows you to create skills or select fantasy species. The precious person who supported the HP was the five organs and six organs.
However, a new face member of the five organs and six parts was born. Thanks to this, we will be able to receive more HP sponsorship in the future. It was an unexpected bonanza.
It was then.
Ding dong!
‘hmm?’
The message that I thought would be the end continued again.
[You successfully treated the patient: Georges with drastic but aggressive treatment. In the future, he will be free from chronic epileptic seizures and live a more comfortable and stable life. Also, in the original future, he resorted to alcohol to numb the pain of epileptic attacks, developed liver disease, and was scheduled to die at the age of 56. However, thanks to your treatment, the future will change and you will live a relatively healthy old age.]
[The skill Claiming Medical Fees (Lv. 2) is activated.]
‘Oh?’
[Patient: Georges benefited from an extended life expectancy of 14 years and 7 months through your unique vagus nerve stimulation procedure. Accordingly, you will be settled a bonus life equal to 1/1950 of 14 years and 7 months.]
[Bonus life of 2.69 days has been calculated.]
[The minimum unit of life to be settled is 1 day.]
[Bonus life to be settled This is rounded off.]
[A total of 3 days of bonus life is calculated.]
[Your expected life expectancy: 161 days]
“….”
This time, I even got the bonus life.
It was a performance that exceeded expectations.
He took a deep breath and raised his head. I looked up from the message and looked around. The first thing I saw was the face of child Georges.
“…uh? “Huh?”
Georges was in a daze.
“Hey, I’m strange.”
The child tried to get up from his seat. Rakiel skillfully pulled out the thorn from the child’s human blood. When I looked at the child, I couldn’t help but smile.
“Yeah, isn’t it strange?”
It will be strange. The epileptic seizure would have come and gone. Indeed, the child was bewildered as he massaged his entire body.
“It’s my first time doing something like this. Normally, when I get goosebumps and feel weird… from then on, sparks start to pop into my eyes and I start sweating… and then I can’t move as I want.”
“You didn’t do that this time, right?”
“yes.”
“It won’t be like that in the future.”
“yes?”
“It won’t hurt that much anymore.”
“…Yes?”
The child’s eyes are becoming increasingly dull. That seems to be what it means. It seems like it’s unbelievable. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Well, that’s probably true. Because I have suffered from epilepsy my whole life. Who would readily believe it if they heard that the pain disappeared overnight?
Rakiel slowly helped the child up. I was at eye level with the child. He looked into the child’s eyes and spoke thoughtfully.
“I’ll tell you. You are all better now. It won’t hurt. “This means that you will no longer feel strange and lose your mind, fall out of nowhere and start shaking, and other children will no longer make fun of you or avoid you because of that.”
“…really?”
“then.”
“really?”
“Really, really.”
Rakiel grinned.
“If what you say is a lie, you will become the crown prince starting tomorrow.”
“Ahem. Everyone, follow my orders.”
“…Huh.”
I stroked Georges’ head roughly. The child’s hair is all tangled up. A laugh spreads beneath it.
A smile formed on Rachiel’s lips as well. Somehow, he seemed to know just a little bit how Georges was feeling right now.
‘Because I had something like that when I was young.’
Suddenly, something happened when I was 9 years old.
Was it while playing with friends in the neighborhood? I had a severe sprain on my right ankle. My ankle was all swollen. It hurt so much I couldn’t even walk. I was carried by my mom and went to a local oriental medicine clinic.
I couldn’t remember if it was an official oriental medicine clinic or an acupuncture clinic. There was Mr. Gombo. He was a blind person. He placed acupuncture needles on the ankle and in various places. At first, I was scared, anxious, and unreliable.
But after all the acupuncture?
My ankle, which had been in so much pain, is now fine! When I went home, I had my mom carry me on my back, but when I came home, I jumped up and down. It was truly amazing. Perhaps it was because of his memories of that time that he decided to pursue a career as an Oriental medicine doctor.
‘Do you want to remain there the same way?’
An unknown acupuncture clinic in the neighborhood where I once lived. Under the overpass in front of Seokpo Elementary School near the UN Cemetery in Busan. If I could, I would like to show my acupuncture technique to the person back then. Or, I wanted to receive teachings from him.
‘Anyway, that’s how I felt at the time.’
How amazing I felt the entire time I was running home after receiving all the acupuncture treatment. Looking at Georges’ flushed face, I vaguely remembered how I felt at that time and couldn’t help but smile.
Besides, there was more to be happy about.
‘And… it’s successful.’
I looked around.
Court wizard Janetis. Sir Gardin and Damien. Special forces gladiators. Even the palace guards and maids. Everyone was looking at me and Georges alternately with wide eyes.
The highlight of all is…
“Georges!”
A maid jumped out from the crowd and shouted. As soon as the child saw the maid, he responded.
“Sister!”
The siblings embraced each other. The child smiled brightly and the maid cried out in joy. Rachiel also felt a heart-wrenching emotion.
‘Ah, this is one step closer. A dream of wealth, fame, and a lot of money.’
Finally, the child’s epilepsy was successfully treated. The entire villa family watched the process. This side is also able to withstand the lightning magic. The child’s seizure that was about to start calming down. Everyone witnessed it vividly, cheering with their fists clenched.
And I will use it as a snack for the rest of my life. I will say this every time I meet someone. This funny(?) story will spread widely as a rumor.
‘Then it’s okay. Because it is a separate palace, it is the palace where the crown prince stays, so it can relieve the burden that people feel. Hey, didn’t you hear that rumor? They say that if you go to the villa, you can get better! ‘I mean.’
Then heal them and you’ll get a ton of bonus life. A beautiful future of disease-free longevity awaits us. Rakiel’s shoulders trembled at that happy premonition.
Then, without even realizing it, my legs gave out.
dump.
“…uh?”
Was it because I was nervous throughout the procedure? Is this why they resisted the lightning magic with evil spirit? Is it because I stayed up all night bringing in the court wizard? Or is it the result of all those reasons combined?
‘Power…’
It drained from my whole body like an ebb. I couldn’t tell when I collapsed. I also wondered why everyone was so surprised and running towards me.
‘Am I going to pass out?’
answer.
With the sound of the five organs and six parts whispering, my consciousness quickly faded away. Like falling into a deep sleep. Only then did realization come to me.
…I forgot. I was a patient with a weak constitution.
The end of enlightenment with a bitter smile.
The world went dark.
♣
When I opened my eyes again, the night was deep. I looked blankly at the ceiling for a moment.
‘Did you sleep all day?’
That may well be the case.
Because I overextended myself in many ways. This person is still a terminally ill patient with a weak constitution.
“…majesty?”
A voice calling this way. I saw Sir Gardin’s face immersed in joy.
“Are you awake?”
Damian, who was next to Sir Gardin, also jumped up. After that, the court wizard Janetis was also seen.
A bitter smile came out.
“what. “I guess everyone was gathered together and watching others sleep.”
It would be embarrassing if you said it too openly.
It was the moment I was about to complain.
“I was so tired of watching that, I was hoping it would end quickly, Your Majesty.”
Sir Gardin began to cry.
I was embarrassed.
“What. why. what. “Why on earth are you doing that?”
“Sigh, it has no choice but to be like this, isn’t it? “Your Majesty has been unable to wake up for two days and has finally opened his eyes.”
“…what?”
It’s been two days since I fell asleep?
I couldn’t believe it at first.
However, seeing Sir Gardin with tears in his eyes and Damien slightly nodding, it seemed like it wasn’t a joke.
Court wizard Janetis added a word.
“I was thinking about how to tell Your Majesty about this situation, Your Majesty.”
“…Tsk. I put a burden on you for no reason. Sorry.”
“No, Your Highness. “I’m glad you’re safe.”
It’s not that it wasn’t, Janetis’s face had already become half-faced. It seemed like he stayed by my side the entire time he was sleeping, unable to rest.
It could have been so.
The crown prince fainted while receiving his own lightning magic. Because the prince couldn’t wake up for two days. Maybe it wasn’t just nervousness. But then something suddenly occurred to me.
“What about Georges?”
What happened to the child? I wonder if the epileptic seizures have recurred in the past two days. The answer was given by someone else instead of Sir Gardin or Damien Zanetis.
“Am I fine?”
“uh?”
A small face poked its head out from between Sir Gardin and Damien’s sides. It was Georges. When I saw that, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“what. “Why are you here again?”
“I asked this person here.”
Georges glanced at Sir Gardin. Sir Gardin cleared his throat for no reason.
said the child.
“I want to give you this when you wake up.”
And then he carefully extends his hand. Rachiel looked at the object in the child’s hand. As soon as I saw it, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“…What is this?”
An object held out by a child.
It was a necklace.
Woven with twine I don’t know where it came from. It was an incredibly shabby necklace made of pieces of wood with a crooked heart engraved on them that I didn’t know how they were carved.
Gorgeous? Of course there wasn’t. Rarity? It was an item that could not be found. Rakiel asked, suppressing a bitter smile that was about to come out.
“You really made it? “While I’m sleeping?”
…Nod.
Am I embarrassed? Even in the dim candlelight, the child could not hide his bright red face.
Rakiel clicked his tongue inwardly.
‘This is burdensome.’
Honestly, it was a very crude necklace. A lot of effort may have been put into making it, but realistically it was a bit embarrassing to wear around the neck.
‘Just don’t take it?’
If you don’t want to wear it, it’s better not to get it.
I had that thought for a moment, but…
“It was well made.”
He smiled warmly. I patted the child’s head and received the necklace.
“This is better than any of the fancy jewelry I’ve ever worn.”
“…really?”
The child’s face widened.
I nodded as if it was obvious.
“okay. But the best reward I have received is seeing you healthy.”
As I spoke, I glanced around.
“…Huh!”
Sir Gardin looked touched and his nose wrinkled. Damian and Janetis were seen smiling warmly. The two guards guarding the door from a distance also had eyes as if they were watching a human drama.
Those images made me smile.
‘Whoa, good. ‘You just made a good comment.’
I could barely stop myself from cringing.
But it worked out well.
After all, finishing everything is important. The end of a beautiful good deed is cringeworthy yet touching. Only then will this medical treatment case spread as a more heartwarming story. Because it will become a more destructive word of mouth. So, I intentionally received the necklace happily and even sent a touching comment.
It was successful.
“So now everyone, rest assured. “But I’m a little tired and would like to rest alone.”
He looked back at everyone with a slightly tired expression. So I sent everyone out of the bedroom. Only then did I take a deep breath.
“…Whew.”
Is it because I acted out of my heart? It felt a little strange. I stared blankly at the ceiling for a while. I lay down and raised my hand.
A necklace given by a child. So crude. It would be embarrassing to even wear it. Such a shabby and unsightly necklace.
I burst into laughter.
“Who wears something like this?…”
Rakiel grumbled and turned around. He slowly fell asleep. Around his neck was a shabby and unsightly necklace that was so crude it would be embarrassing to wear it.
