The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 76
Episode 76 Minotaur Hwangcheongsimwon (1)
The interrogator was taken away.
His charges were simple and clear. The charge was ‘deliberately negligent investigation and obstruction of official duties to search for the crown prince.’ An act of trying to handle the disappearance of the crown prince without anyone else. The sin was great.
“If you’re unlucky, you’ll either get the death penalty or at least rot in prison for the rest of your life, right?”
“Maybe so, hehe.”
“I guess so. Anyway, His Royal Highness came back safely, and we were left sweating in the hot sun. “Wow, it’s so hard.”
“How hard is it? “Isn’t it good that we also have work thanks to this?”
“Well, it’s been a while since I won such a big project.”
“yes. “If there is a construction project, it’s good for our contractors.”
The sturdy old man laughed and wiped the sweat from his forehead. The mayor’s residence was completely under construction. The night the Minotaur went on a rampage a few days ago. On that day, workers were sweating as they carried materials throughout the site where the damaged official residence building and garden were being restored.
The old builder said.
“But did you go to the dock yesterday?”
“yes? no. “I was at home.”
“okay? “Did you miss something good?”
“A sight to behold?”
“It is the Minotaur that His Majesty the Crown Prince tamed and brought to him.”
“Oh, I heard that too. “Is that real?”
“of course.”
“Did you see it in person too?”
“haha. “That is also natural.”
The old man chuckled.
“It means that the sea suddenly began to stir. Then, a Minotaur larger than a house soars through the seawater and comes onto the dock. “But His Majesty the Crown Prince was sitting on the back of his neck.”
“You must have been very surprised.”
“I was surprised. At first, I couldn’t believe it and couldn’t even breathe. It even made me wonder if I had already become senile. Moreover, the rough and fierce Minotaur listened so obediently to His Highness the Crown Prince. “Isn’t it true that His Majesty moves as he moves his eyes, breaks the iron bars, and moves like limbs?”
“Could it be… you really tamed it?”
“Minotaur? “Your Majesty?”
“Yes, old man.”
“I don’t know that. But maybe…”
“Maybe?”
“You didn’t subdue him, did you?”
“Suppress…?”
“okay.”
“But old man.”
“Hmm?”
“It doesn’t make sense for Your Highness, who is an ordinary person, to subdue the monster Minotaur…”
“You don’t think that’s possible?”
“yes. Aren’t you the one who was kidnapped by the Minotaur that night? But subduing that monster after being kidnapped… seems a bit… unbelievable.”
“Hugh. Even I would have that question. “If you haven’t heard that testimony.”
“A testimony?”
The man tilted his head. The old man lowered his voice with a meaningful expression.
“…Actually, this is a bit of a cautionary tale. “Are you sure you can keep your mouth shut?”
“What on earth are you talking about?”
“Shh. Please lower your voice. “No other than that, I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince can grow as big as the Minotaur.”
“…Yes?”
“Uh huh. “Even if I tell you to lower your voice.”
“No, what kind of nonsense….”
“It’s not nonsense. “You know my nephew, right?”
“I know. “Didn’t you say that you joined the mayor’s private sailing ship as a sailor?”
“He said he saw it himself. “That was the night the Minotaur went on a rampage.”
“…Is that true?”
“okay. They say that His Majesty the Crown Prince used all sorts of tricks to make it as big as the Minotaur. Well, they said they saw him fighting a Minotaur with his back and sticking a large thorn deep into the back of its neck.”
“Are you saying your nephew was drunk?”
“Tekki. Would there have been time to drink in that situation? “I heard the other crew members saw it too.”
“….”
“That’s what you’re saying. “It seems like His Majesty the Crown Prince really captured and subdued the Minotaur.”
“Hehe….”
“It’s nothing to laugh about. Think about it. What kind of monster is the Minotaur? Isn’t even that ferocious ogre a ferocious bastard who can’t be defeated? But would such a Minotaur listen to someone weaker than himself? Even obediently?”
“Hmm, well. Is that what you heard?”
“yes?”
“yes. Now that I think about it. “Is there something that comes to mind too?”
“Something?”
“It’s a rumor that has been widely spread throughout the imperial capital… Have you ever heard of the crown prince hegemony?”
Interest appeared on the old man’s face. The man’s story continued. The ears of the workers carrying materials around me perked up.
The ‘crown prince hegemony theory’, which has no basis or roots but sounds plausible, has spread to Cremo as well. The Minotaur Urus, which was leisurely grazing in the garden area beyond, swung its tail and shooed away a swarm of flies.
The swarms of flies that were chased away dispersed. One of them flew up in the sunlight. I went up to the window on the third floor of the mayor’s official residence, which was only half-open. And then he fell after being hit by someone’s finger.
Tick-!
“But that Minotaur.”
Damien, the man who shot down a fly trying to come in through the window, asked as he looked down at Urus in the garden below.
“Your Majesty, how on earth did you tame it?”
“Tame?”
Rakiel grinned after hearing the question. Perhaps because we met again after being away for a few days, he said while stroking Kkomgi and Bboboki, who had been sticking to each other like chewing gum since last night.
“I have never tamed it. “I just left it alone because I thought I would misunderstand.”
“…yes?”
Damian’s head tilts.
What a misunderstanding. It was a puzzling statement. In fact, I couldn’t really understand it even after seeing it with my own eyes. It was the Minotaur that went on a rampage trying to kill the crown prince that night when the chaos broke out.
But what about now that the crown prince has been kidnapped and returned? It has changed. He was following the crown prince to the extent that the events of that day were insignificant.
How on earth did they tame it? Why did the Minotaur follow the crown prince so much? That has been the question that not only Damian but almost everyone in this city has been thinking about since yesterday.
‘But it’s not tamed.’
What a misunderstanding. What on earth? What on earth did the crown prince do? The moment I thought that, Rakiel continued.
“Do you remember that day? “I suddenly became huge.”
“…yes.”
That matter is also full of questions. A faint smile appeared on the corner of Rakiel’s mouth.
“That’s no big deal. It was because I ate sunflower seeds that were fed to the phantom species. Don’t ask me why I ate it. “It was a situation where I had to do anything to avoid dying.”
“….”
“Anyway, when he got so big, I used acupuncture to calm him down, and coincidentally, other areas of his pain got better for a short while.”
“yes? Then…”
“Can’t you feel it?”
“Did you misunderstand that His Highness treated you?”
“uh. “He considered me a benefactor.”
“….”
“Well, if you think about it, it’s not like I was his enemy from the beginning, right? It would be nice if we could get along smoothly. is not it?”
“I see. Of course, it is fortunate for me as well.”
“Relief?”
“yes.”
Damian smiled and nodded.
“Because the hazard pay I was supposed to receive that day was not lost.”
“…Thanks to you that I’m safe?”
“yes.”
“Am I a pay shuttle?”
“What is a shuttle?”
“A hogu just scooping it up?”
“If that’s what you mean… that’s accurate.”
“omg. “Now I don’t even hide my money.”
“Isn’t that what employment is all about anyway?”
“What? “To the point of being shameless.”
Rakiel laughed and scoffed. A wry smile appeared on Damian’s lips. Although I say this in such a shameless way, the truth is that it was bitter. The Minotaur that went on a rampage that night. It was because of self-blame for not being able to properly protect the crown prince in front of him.
‘I thought about getting paid, but I didn’t get my money’s worth. It’s a shame.’
I never felt any doubt about my abilities. I was confident that this would continue to be the case.
But it wasn’t.
A Minotaur of oversized size suddenly encountered. In front of that monster, his sword was weak. He was not strong enough to protect the crown prince.
I was embarrassed.
It was shameful.
‘…Let’s train more.’
I will never experience such humiliation again. I will become a strong man worthy of a salary worthy of being the crown prince’s bodyguard. Damian changed the topic, reflecting on his firm resolve.
“The reason I can give you such a shameless answer is partly because of the pride I have in completing all of the work your Highness instructed me to do last night.”
“hmm? “What did I tell you to do?”
“yes. “There was something your Highness told me to do last night, right?”
“Can you say that already?”
“yes.”
“You prepared all the different kinds of medicinal herbs I told you about? “In one day?”
“yes. This was because it was the largest port and trading city in the North.”
“Whoa. “That’s kind of amazing.”
Rakiel stuck out his tongue.
He had returned to Cremo yesterday. After transporting the interrogator from the inspection team, he had a happy reunion with the group. On the other hand, special instructions were given to Damien. Medicinal ingredients used in Minotaur Hwangcheongsimwon. The instructions were to prepare the ingredients.
‘But it wasn’t just one or two things.’
Sanyak persimmon ginseng, ginseng, singuk, seogak, soybean hwangkwon, chickweed, glue, peony, maekmun-dong, golden angelica, windbreak, Baekchul, posthumous sign, Gilgyeong, Hangin, Baekbokryeong, cheongung, Yeongyanggak, musk, Bingpyeon, unghwang, baekryeom, pohealth, jujube, and honey.
It’s literally the herbal medicine Avengers in full force. The herbal medicines that were said to be good for the body were all necessary.
‘Of course, I took out the injections containing mercury. That’s too risky. Anyway, I thought it would take at least a week because there were so many different medicines needed.’
But I got them all in one day. I was once again feeling the majesty(?) of a trading city. Damian said.
“Oh, and I have one more news.”
“News? What?”
“There is news that His Majesty the Emperor has returned to the Imperial Capital.”
“…okay?”
“yes. “It is said that on the way here, you heard the news that His Majesty returned safely.”
“So, as soon as you heard that I was safe, you turned to the Imperial Capital?”
“yes.”
“That’s right. “He’s a cold-hearted gentleman.”
Rachiel burst out laughing. It’s like Emperor Asterion. But I felt rather fortunate.
‘That guy is a bit burdensome.’
Actually, this is not that uncle’s son. He is simply wearing the shell of his son, Rachiel. However, I did not want to share the affection of father and son and receive attention while hiding that fact.
Then I felt like I would feel disgusted with myself. No, it was burdensome before that!
‘It’s better. It will continue like this in the future! ‘It would be best to stay faceless.’
Rakiel promised himself that he would definitely do this. And we also strengthened our resolve to start from now on.
“good. “Your Majesty has just returned and I have obtained all the medicinal ingredients, so we can get started right away.”
“What if it’s the beginning?”
“Minotaur Hwangcheongsimwon Preparation.”
The corners of Rachiel’s mouth slightly rose. All ingredients have been prepared. The most important thing, the Minotaur Emperor Wu, has also been secured with a special S+ grade. There was no reason to delay dispensing.
“So, tell them to empty out the kitchen of the residence immediately. “I have to prepare the medicine.”
“All right.”
It was from then on.
Rakiel’s cooking class (?) was held in the kitchen of the mayor’s residence, which is being restored. Various medicinal herbs were refined in a way suited to each person. peeled off dried and torn apart. Stir-fried and stir-fried. Powdered and steamed. The base ingredient was made by mixing boiled jujubes with honey.
The remaining ingredients were added to the base ingredients in the golden ratio, mixed and mixed. As a finishing touch, it was decorated with gold leaf and included elegant luxury brand packaging.
So finally the fifth day came.
‘…complete!’
The first prototype of Minotaur Hwangcheongsimwon was created. But Rachiel was not satisfied with that. Of course, a medicine is only useful if it has the correct effect. No matter how much care you put into making it? If it has no medicinal effect, it is a waste of time.
‘So we have to test it first.’
He placed the Minotaur Hwangcheongsimwon prototype on his palm. I stared at the prototype with my heart pounding. The skill was activated.
Ding dong!
[The medicine you prepared yourself has been detected.]
[Decoction preparation skill option: Do you want to activate ingredient analysis?]
[YES / NO]
‘Of course yes.’
The option was activated upon selection.
[Decoction preparation skill option: Activates ingredient analysis.]
[Scanning]
[3… 2… 1….]
[Scan is complete.]
Ding dong!
A clear and beautiful sound echoing in my head. Information about the Minotaur Hwangcheongsimwon came to mind.
Right after that.
‘…hmm?’
Various specifications of Minotaur Hwangcheongsimwon. Rachiel, who was reading it, paused. My eyes widened at one point.
‘uh? for a moment. What is this?’
While making it, unexpected side effects were discovered. But the details of the side effects…
‘Is this crazy?’
Rachiel swallowed dry saliva. In an instant, she performed a triple axel and, with her heart pounding, a premonition of the birth of a super hit sold-out product bloomed.
