The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 107

Episode 107 Serial Healing Demon’s Plan (2)

[5000 HP will be given as a special reward for these special social and historical medical achievements.]

[Currently your current HP: 5400]

‘Hehehehehehe.’

Rakiel grinned.

He simply couldn’t think of anything to say to reassure the wounded soldier, so he just made a half-hearted excuse. What is strange about military doctors treating wounded soldiers? Isn’t that natural? I gave a completely natural answer based on my common sense.

But that causes such a ripple effect(?). The rewards didn’t end there.

Ding dong!

A refreshing sound that pierces the duodenal villi. What follows is a message that graciously embroiders the miserable cornea.

[Today, you demonstrated the miraculous ability of a saint, completely blocking the pain of an injured soldier.]

[Many camp managers witnessed you doing this.]

[The camp managers were shocked.]

[ The camp management looked at you with sincere awe.]

[This feat of yours will spread through word of mouth throughout the injured camp. Your reputation will increase rapidly.]

[76 GDP has been obtained.]

[Currently held name points (GDP) = 98]

[Lie tickets that can be purchased with the currently held GDP: 0]

‘. ..Whoa.’

I thought it ended here.

But the compensation bombardment continued.

Ding dong!

[You successfully completed the surgery on the patient: Thierry through anesthesia using the ‘My Hands Are Weak’ skill. This is your first successful performance of the ‘My Weak Hand’ skill. This experience of first success has a great influence on the growth of the skill.]

[My hand is a weak hand skill level increases.]

[Skill name: My hand is a weak hand Lv.3]

[Gently stroke the target’s body to cause pain. decreases. It can provide pain reduction equivalent to local anesthesia (+40%).]

Up to this point, it was similar to the previous level-up message. However, the notice that followed was different.

[As the level of the skill increases, a new area of anesthesia has been opened.]

[Brachial plexus anesthesia becomes possible.] [

Perfect treatment of the entire arm area by stroking the brachial plexus (armpits above and below the scalene muscle and clavicle) on the human body’s shoulder. You can be anesthetized easily.]

[When performing anesthesia using the skill, there are no side effects and risks that generally accompany brachial plexus anesthesia (complications of the central nervous system, decreased heart rate, cardiac arrest, arrhythmia, pneumothorax, and difficulty breathing due to phrenic nerve paralysis). It doesn’t happen. So, please feel free to pet me with sincerity.]

‘Huh?’

As soon as I saw it, my eyes widened.

Brachial plexus anesthesia. With my weak hand? Just stroking it?

‘Aren’t you crazy?’

At first, I thought he was joking. But after reading it again, I realized it wasn’t true. It was definitely real.

‘oh my god.’

Rakiel secretly clenched his fists.

Brachial plexus anesthesia. This was an anesthetic procedure that anesthetized the nerve trunks passing through the shoulder area to remove feeling in the arm. It had the great advantage of being able to completely anesthetize the arm area while avoiding physically burdensome general anesthesia.

‘Then now, when performing surgery on the arm area, there is no need to use tricks such as chess or blindfolding. A mentally strong soldier would not feel anything even if he saw his arm being sewn. Additionally, there is no risk of the common side effects that come with brachial plexus anesthesia. Is this real money?’

Rakiel’s heart was pounding. What about brachial plexus anesthesia being breached at level 3? I thought that if I raised my level further, more useful anesthesia techniques could be unlocked.

‘For example, epidural anesthesia. Spinal anesthesia or something. General anesthesia will also be possible in the future.’

If that actually happens, the scope of medical treatment will expand significantly.

‘It will be almost as big as a 34 pyeong apartment in Gangnam from a gosiwon alcove!’

It’s not just simple surgery.

Highly difficult, hardcore level moxibustion. Or bee sting treatment using bee venom. Correction that treats the entire body like Legos. In addition, anesthesia of the inner hand and weak hands can be applied to various treatments.

‘So this is an opportunity. ‘At this time, let’s accumulate skill experience points.’

Rakiel strengthened his fighting spirit(?).

Toured the wounded soldiers camp with Lord Gardin. We treated only those with injuries that could undergo immediate surgery. I stroked it hard and anesthetized it.

However, amputation surgery was not performed. By the standards of this era, I could see soldiers whose limbs needed to be cut off immediately. Most of them suffered cuts or stab wounds from weapons. Every time such a soldier was brought in, Sir Gardin expressed his disapproval.

“I… no, master? “If I don’t cut this off right away, the wound will rot?”

“But that doesn’t work.”

“But…”

“I have an idea, so let’s start by cleaning up the wound and suturing it.”

“…All right.”

Sir Gardin reluctantly agreed.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with what he said. Given the level of medical care here in the world, it may be best to amputate these wounds. In fact, it was like that in the modern battlefields of Earth’s history.

‘During the Napoleonic Wars and the Civil War in the 1800s, the severed limbs of soldiers were piled up in field hospitals. Because everyone got shot or stabbed? no. Because even a simple scratch on the skin caused the wound to become necrotic and rotten.’

That was ‘cellulitis,’ which any Korean reservist who served in the military would have heard of at least once.

‘In modern society, wounds that would have healed with just Madecassol or red pills then led to the catastrophe of amputation. Otherwise, I could have died from infection.’

Perhaps that is why Sir Gardin is worried. But I ignored it. Because everyone has thoughts.

“That’s why. “Why did you call the two of them separately like this?”

Two days had passed since the urgent surgery was completed. Rachiel summoned Lord Gardin and Damien to the commander’s tent. He spoke to the two.

“First of all, Sir Gardin?”

“Yes, master.”

“Please improve the sanitary conditions in the camp while I am away. Replace all tents, bedding, and clothing for wounded soldiers with new ones. The supply arrived today, so it should be possible. “I also pay attention to improving my diet.”

“All right. But… while the master is away?”

“I’m going to go somewhere for a while. “With Damien.”

“Yes?”

Sir Gardin tilted his head. Damian narrowed his eyes.

“Where are you planning to take me?”

“A very dark place?”

“….”

“It’s absolutely necessary. Otherwise, all the wounded soldiers will die.”

Rachiel smiled faintly.

It was exactly as I just said. Most of the soldiers’ injuries were ‘only sutured’. But what if we leave them like this? Most people will die from infection without any benefit from emergency surgery.

“We need medicine to prevent and treat the infection. But there are no such antibiotics here. So what is the way? “You have to make it yourself.”

“….”

Antibiotic?

Lord Gardin and Damien blinked and looked at each other. It was a type of medicine I had never heard of before. Anyway, I think it’s really good. While the two people exchanged glances, Rakiel continued speaking.

“That’s why. “I need to get some ingredients to make antibiotics.”

“Can’t we get supplies or buy them?”

“huh. no.”

“….”

“Because you can’t get it that way. “Because it’s an ingredient that people aren’t familiar with yet.”

It was true.

The people here don’t know ‘yet’ the existence of the material they are trying to obtain. It will be a few more years before that becomes known.

‘It was like that in Demon Sword Emperor.’

Suddenly, an episode from the middle to the end of the novel came to mind. It must have been an episode of the elf kingdom. There was a time when a unique medicine used by elves and a treatment using it were revealed. Thanks to this, Damian, who was in a state of half-death, survived.

He intended to apply what he saw at that time. Since when?

‘In the carriage leaving the villa and heading to Amboise. I’ve been thinking and thinking about it all this time. ‘Measures to prevent infection among soldiers.’

I was on my way to take care of wounded soldiers on the battlefield. Naturally, measures were needed to prevent trauma and the infections that come with it. I thought about it and thought about it.

“Anyway, for that reason, I think I’d like to leave right away.”

“You mean right now?”

“uh.”

Damian asks as if it were absurd. I responded to him as if it was natural.

“We need to move now. It will take time to get the ingredients, and it will also take time to get them and prepare them. What about the wounded soldiers? Where are their injuries? Will it wait for us patiently?”

“….”

“That’s why we’re moving right now. do not forget. “Patients don’t wait for us.”

“But master….”

“Me what?”

“Antibiotics. I’ve never heard of such a drug. Moreover, you said it was an ingredient unknown to the public. How did you know such a thing?”

“Suspicious? I saw it in a book. Are you done?”

“What kind of book it was….”

“I don’t remember.”

“….”

“what. why. what. whatever.”

“….”

Damian was at a loss for words. However, he did not withdraw his suspicious gaze towards Rachiel.

‘Because the crown prince is a little strange sometimes.’

Such was the sudden decision to come all the way to Amboise. This was done by alleviating the pain of a wounded soldier just by caressing his wounds and singing strange songs.

And most of all….

‘It makes you feel as if you are looking down on the world from a staircase. Like right now.’

Sometimes it looked like that. Do you feel like someone who has lived in the world once before? Or did you feel like you had the experience of looking around this place from another, higher world?

As such, there were times when it felt like it made no logical sense. That was exactly the case now.

“….”

But Damian soon calmed his expression. Instead of revealing my suspicions, I answered as usual.

“All right. Let me follow. Just-”

“Just?”

“You will need to pay a separate allowance.”

“…call.”

Negotiation(?) was concluded. We immediately hurried to prepare for departure. In addition to Damian, Rachiel also recruited six knights assigned to her by the princess. A guide soldier who was familiar with nearby geography was also called in. So a total of 9 people left the camp.

“To the deep forest, the most sparsely visited forest in this area. Please guide me.”

I ordered the guide soldier.

The soldier took the lead.

leave camp

Crossing streams and fields.

I climbed the gentle slope of the mountain.

The forest became dense. Paths with people walking became increasingly sparse. But we moved forward without stopping. Eventually, even the remote cabins that hunters only occasionally used became invisible.

Pusssss….

The deep forest resembled an abyss. A space where only the wind and the sound of birds occasionally flow in. Other than that, I couldn’t sense any other familiar signs.

‘This reminds me of Gangwon-do.’

Suddenly, I remembered the time I went to Hongcheon. At that time, while trekking with a senior, I took a wrong side road. Was this a road only occasionally used by soldiers crossing from Hongcheon to Yanggu?

It was an atmosphere that made you feel like you might encounter a wild boar from the Ural Mountains and give a high five. The scenery I saw then was similar to what it is now. The group seemed to feel the same way.

“I think I’m going into too deep.”

Damian said, looking around. It was a tone of concern.

“In a place like this, you might encounter monsters. “Especially in a place like this where there are few people, you may unintentionally step into the territory of Apyroth’s nest.”

“uh. “Maybe so.”

“yes. So everyone is anxious.”

What Damian said was true.

Also the knights sent by the princess. A guide soldier too. Everyone clearly looked nervous. I was watching this person’s eyes. It seemed like he wanted to know where he was going.

‘I need to reassure everyone.’

Rakiel grinned.

He spoke to the group.

“There is no need for everyone to be anxious. Apyr’s nest? okay. In a remote forest like this, you could end up in their territory. “Apiros is a monster that lives in large groups from central Magentano to northern central Amboise.”

Everyone nodded silently. He smiled more confidently at them.

“But everyone knows, right? Apyrus is relatively calm as long as someone does not disturb its nest or larvae first. “Isn’t that common sense?”

Nod.

Everyone nods again.

A similar thought occurred to me.

Fortunately, that fat army doctor doesn’t know the habits of the giant bee, Apiros. So, I won’t do something pointless. Seeing him say that, it seems like he definitely has his own thoughts.

So we won’t experience anything very dangerous. Everyone was a little relieved. I let go of my anxiety a little. At that moment, Rakiel’s smile became meaningful.

“That’s why.”

What brought us this far?

What we need to do from now on to obtain antibiotics to prevent and treat infections is….

“From now on, we will kidnap the queen larva of the Apyrus nest.”
