The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 455

Episode 455 Unexpected Reward (3)

“That is exactly what Lord Bonedragon Tusik did.”

Mayor Breda, whom I saw again after a long time, looked somewhat haggard.

Rather than being haggard, I should say I’m exhausted. I didn’t know if it was because of the fatigue brought on by the restoration work on the city that had been destroyed during the last Bond Dragon incident, or because of a new headache.

The mayor asked in a slightly stern voice.

“But Your Majesty, have you already… seen that?”

“What is the general outline?”

Rakiel shrugged his shoulders.

Exactly 12 days since departing from Harmion. Returning to the old Tennion after a long time, the atmosphere of this city, now called Rakiende, was quite different from before.

It was so bitch.

There wasn’t even a human nose to be seen in the square.

The atmosphere was about 179 degrees different from before, when the Bone Dragon Incident, Holy Water Festival, Religion and Secular Revolution, and the fever for hopeful urban restoration were raging.

Rachiel said.

“There’s no way you didn’t see that. It was engraved so blatantly on the biggest wall in the square. “There are traces of photographing human bones.”

“also. “You saw it.”

Mayor Breda’s complexion became even darker.

“So, Your Highness, are you okay?”

“Uhm what?”

“You saw the traces of the curse yourself… I was worried that you were feeling uncomfortable or in pain.”

“….”

Mayor Breda looks like he’s really worried about us. Only after seeing that did Rachiel understand the atmosphere of the city that had changed so much.

“Did everyone do this because of the marks carved on the wall of the square?”

“yes?”

“That’s not a bad thing.”

“What are you talking about?…”

Mayor Breda is dumbfounded.

asked him.

“First of all, let’s start with the whole story. “Can I hear when and how those traces were engraved?”

“Ah yes, Your Highness. of course.”

Mayor Breda remembered.

“The accident… struck the workers on site without any warning…”

Every time I look back on the memory, I can’t help but feel goosebumps.

The mayor recalled the disaster(?) of that day.

It was an ordinary day.

The weather was moderately clear and, thanks to the occasional cloud shadows, it was not overly hot. Thanks to this, workers at urban restoration sites were also able to sweat happily.

The same was true at the plaza renovation site.

A wide square.

The damaged paving stones on the floor were being newly laid. Sir Bone Dragon Tusik, who was moving a pile of paving stones among the workers, suddenly stopped.

Then, out of nowhere, he shook his head. At first I wondered what was going on. But then a butterfly landed on the tip of Tusik’s nose.

And then catastrophe occurred.

“Lord Tusik sneezed. “So suddenly, without warning.”

“So you dropped the pile of paving stones you were moving? So the workers were crushed or injured?”

“That’s not it.”

“then?”

“Lord Tusik did not drop a single paving stone. The gust of wind brought about by the sneeze ripped off the hard hats of nearby workers, but no one was particularly injured. But there was a bigger problem.”

“no way.”

“Did you guess?”

“What is the general outline?”

Rachiel nodded.

Then he asked what he guessed.

“Is it possible that it was engraved on the wall right after Tusik sneezed? “What do the bones of people nearby look like?”

“That’s exactly what it was.”

“haha.”

“It was… a terrible sight…”

The mayor barely managed to speak, his shoulders shaking, as if he was getting goosebumps even looking back on it now.

“Actually, I was also there at that scene. Although I was a few dozen steps away, I was the first person to run there in fright after Sir Tusik sneezed. I was wondering if there were any workers caught in the gust of wind and injured. And there… I was the first to run, so I was the first to witness the devastation…”

“Skeleton figure?”

“…Yes, Your Highness.”

The mayor’s countenance became even more miserable as he nodded his head with difficulty.

“Your Majesty, as you well know, I am not actually a person who passionately believes in God. But at that time, I had no choice but to cry out God’s name. Such a curse. Carving the bones of a living person into a wall… such a terrible curse. “I’ve never imagined anything like that.”

“….”

“Perhaps the feelings of the workers who were directly cursed… were even more terrible. Those who realized what was happening suddenly lost their legs. On the other hand, some people ran home in a hurry as if they were running away. That was just five days ago. What happened after that… is exactly what His Highness witnessed upon returning here….”

“….”

“Of course, I did my best to respond in every way possible. They quickly called in priests and tried to remove the curse. But the priests were helpless. “The traces of the terrible curse engraved on the wall of the square… As soon as we saw them, we all turned pale and prayed countless times… but the scars of the curse were never erased.”

“….”

“So, I would like to dare to tell your Majesty. This city is cursed. Lord Tusik… although he seemed to have reformed, he was unable to completely rid himself of the curse he was born with. So, please, Your Majesty, leave this cursed place quickly. “That is the only advice I can give with all my sincerity, Your Majesty.”

“…Uh, so what about Tushik?”

“After realizing the situation, he went down to the lowest level of the mine and has not come out.”

“Are you going hand in hand with depression, thinking you’ve put a curse on people?”

“Maybe so. So, Your Majesty, can you please take this situation seriously?”

“Yes, no.”

“…yes?”

Mayor Breda, who had been giving a solemn remonstrance, paused. Rakiel couldn’t help but smile bitterly at that sight.

“I don’t think that’s a curse.”

“Yeah? But there are bones of healthy, living people on the wall…”

“Oh, that’s because it’s an X-ray.”

“X…ray?”

“huh.”

“What is that?”

“There is such a thing. Anyway, it’s not a bad thing. It’s good for me. So I’d like to ask you one thing. Are you talking about the workers around you who were X-rayed at the time? “Has anyone among them been bedridden or sick?”

“Oh no. “Not yet…”

“You won’t have any pain because of that in the future. “Then I guess I’ll have to take a look at Tusik first.”

“yes? majesty? but…!”

“Oh, that’s because it’s not a curse.”

Mayor Breda wakes up in shock when he hears that he is going to see Tusik. Rachiel had to argue for a while to reassure him.

Thanks to this, Rakiel was able to get rid of him and head to the mine only after some difficulty.

‘under. X-ray.’

As I thought about it, I stopped praying again.

I was happy.

It was an unexpected harvest.

‘I thought the radiation was completely sealed off as Tushik’s core stabilized. I guess that wasn’t the end of it.’

Now I see that it can still emit weak X-rays. The evidence was the X-ray results of workers left on the wall of the square.

‘…If I do this well, the annex oriental medicine clinic will have X-ray equipment, right?’

Just thinking about it made my heart pound.

In fact, there are limitations to the acupuncture point scanning that has been used so far. It was a skill that could predict and track disease through the body’s mana flow.

Therefore, it was not possible to directly look at the bones or joints.

But now it seems like it will be possible. An X-ray that can be taken without even a special film coated with a photosensitive emulsion such as silver halide (AgBr)!

The steps going down the mine naturally became lighter.

‘Of course, before that, I need to clear up people’s misunderstandings.’

The bones of a living person fit perfectly on the wall. If you think about it from the perspective of someone who doesn’t know anything about X-rays, it’s easy to misunderstand.

That seemed to be the same for Tusik himself (?), who accidentally emitted X-rays.

“It’s been a while, Tusik?”

– Touu…?

“Are you okay?”

– Touung tou…?

“Oh my, why is your complexion like this? “There are only bones left of the child.”

– Tuang Tu….

Du Sik was crouching on the lowest level of the mine. The guy I met after a long time had slumped shoulders.

Maybe it’s because I’m suffering from a huge sense of guilt. He must have been tormented by memories of the killings he had committed in the past, thinking that he had placed a curse on people without realizing it.

Rakiel said with regret.

“I heard everything from the mayor. “There was an uproar.”

– Touu….

“But you didn’t mean to be bad. I know. People were really mean. right?”

– Too?

“I’m talking about the drawings of human bones that were engraved on the wall when you sneezed. “That’s not a curse, actually.”

– Touuu…?

“Really. “Actually, that’s a really good thing.”

– Tuangdu!

“Oh, you don’t believe me?”

– Too….

“Would you like to raise your head for a moment?”

– Touuung….

“Aren’t you going to see my face? “It’s been a while since I last saw you?”

– Duduu….

“That’s right. yes. Look at me. So, is it here?”

Tu-sik finally raises his head from his buried position and looks back. Rakiel smiled brightly and pressed the tip of Tusik’s nose with his finger.

The reaction was immediate.

-Toot…toot…toot!

Phew!

Tusik’s violent sneeze bursts out immediately, as if he had pressed a button!

However, Rakiel did not blow away from the pressure of the sneeze. I was able to survive thanks to my preparation in advance.

And before Tushik was startled by his own sneeze, I quickly hugged his big head tightly.

“woah. woah. are you okay. “Nothing happened.”

– Touuu!

“My bones were carved into the mine walls? Let’s see. “Wow, your bones are very handsome.”

– Dudu dudu!

“It won’t be a big problem. are you okay. I’m fine. Did I tell you? “It’s not a curse.”

– Touu…?

“Actually, it’s really great to be able to photograph bones like this. You mean you can look inside a person’s body without cutting it open? Thanks to this, I can more easily find where the pain is. is not it?”

– Duduu?

“That you can do such great things.”

– Too? Ddu-du?

“Yes you are.”

– ….

Is it finally possible to have faith in these words? I felt Tushik’s skull, which was shaking with anxiety, calm down a little.

Rakiel grinned.

And on the other hand, he performed a self-examination by holding his wrist. As a result, his body was fine.

Tusik’s X-rays were so powerful that they did not cause any unintended radiation damage. In other words, the conclusion was clear. There is no problem with Tusik’s X-ray safety. Ground pound pound.

“So, Tushik.”

– Too?

“The power that automatically erupts when you sneeze.”

– Duduu?

“The output isn’t jagged or anything like that, right?”

– Too!

“Completely constant?”

– ddu!

“It’s better.”

Rakiel grinned.

thank god. very good. So, it can be carried out easily.

“Then let’s start by changing people’s perception.”

– Touuu?

“We need to first clear up the misunderstanding that your X-ray is a terrible curse. Then-”

Then a good idea occurred to me.

Rakiel looked at Tusik and spoke confidently.

“Shall we start planning the Life Bone Cut campaign soon?”

-Ddu duuu…?

“uh. “I thought I would try my hand at commercials for the first time in a while.”

Tusik keeps tilting his head at what he says. Rachiel was smiling happily and recalling her plans. It was the moment when the ‘Life Bone Cut Festival’, which would forever be engraved in the city’s history, began.
