The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine

The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 47

Episode 47 Obtaining the Ice Cap (2)

“Can you hit me until this shield shatters?”

“….”

This crown prince.

No, this human.

What nonsense are you talking about now?

‘Am I crazy?’

Damian tilted his head for a moment. And then I got lost in serious thought. Has the crown prince recently received a major blow to his head? Or did he appear to be suffering from excessive stress and sleep disorders?

I looked back, but it wasn’t there. So I didn’t understand.

“When you ask me to strike you, do you mean the shield you are holding?”

“uh.”

The crown prince nodded as if it was obvious. He said this with a very calm expression.

“I told you I might need your help, right?”

“Yes, you did.”

“Is that what this is?”

“….”

“You have to strike this shield for Mrs. Deanlyer to survive.”

“….”

“That way, the Villa Palace Oriental Medical Clinic will not go bankrupt.”

“….”

“Of course, my health and longevity will be protected.”

“….”

“You mean the imperial family won’t fall?”

“…So you’re saying I should hit that shield?”

“uh.”

“….”

What on earth is this person thinking? Damian frowned. However, on the other hand, I also thought that there were some things that the crown prince did not explain.

“Could you please elaborate a little more?”

“of course.”

The crown prince grinned.

“You probably saw the notice about this ice cap in Vigo earlier, right?”

“Yes, I saw it.”

“Then I guess you remember. Instructions and precautions for using the ice cap in the instructions.”

“yes. “Are you talking about the phrase that the cold shield breaks when a strong impact exceeds its limit is applied?”

“that’s right. “Do you remember the precautions at the bottom?”

“of course.”

Damian nodded. He was able to recall the contents of the caution notice without difficulty.

“It is said that the pieces of cold that break and fall off upon impact are crystals of pure mana… and will naturally disperse over time. There was also a warning to be careful not to touch or ingest it as it could have a significant impact on the human body upon contact. Is that correct?”

“answer. “You did really well, clap clap clap.”

“….”

“what. why. what.”

“Anyway, is there some relationship between the contents of the warning and the order to beat up His Highness?”

“of course.”

Rachiel nodded.

“I’m going to use those cold crystals as medicine.”

“yes? There is a caveat that it has a big impact on the human body….”

“You just said it has a big impact, but there was no specific mention of whether it was good or bad.”

“….”

“So, we should get it and take a look. Is it beneficial or harmful to the human body? To do this, you must first deliver a shock big enough to break the cold shield.”

“But why should I…”

“Because you are the most trustworthy among those who have a sword strike strong enough to break this.”

“….”

Me?

why?

Damian swallowed back the question rising in his throat. Instead, he asked another question.

“If so, does your Majesty have to take my sword strike while holding that shield?”

“hmm?”

“Can’t I just hit the shield that’s on the ground?”

“Oh, that’s impossible.”

“Why?”

“Because this is what happens.”

The crown prince put down the handle of the ice cap as if to show off. The ice cap fell to the ground. At the same time, the deployed cold shield disappeared without a trace.

The crown prince smiled bitterly.

“As you can see, when the mana supply is cut off, the cold shield disappears. So, in order to maintain the cold shield, I have to hold this at all costs.”

“So, to sum it up, are you saying that we should adjust the force so that only the cold shield is broken so that His Highness will not get hurt?”

“that’s right. “That’s it.”

“….”

“I’m not doing this because I like it too, right? “Honestly, I’m scared?”

“Not only are you scared, but I am scared as well.”

“why?”

“It is an act that could easily be considered treason. So, I would like to place one condition.”

“condition?”

“yes.”

“What conditions?”

The crown prince asked a question. Damian spoke honestly.

“Every time I hit your shield, give me a special allowance.”

“…ah?”

I tilt my head. The prince’s expression was strangely frowning. Either way, Damian expressed his thoughts.

“Your Majesty, as you know, my sword is fierce. It’s rough. However, your Majesty is trying to withstand the sword attack by relying on only a shield. Even until the shield breaks. If you think about it, wouldn’t it be an incredibly dangerous thing for me?”

“Isn’t it dangerous for me?”

“It’s dangerous for me too.”

“Is it because if I get hurt, you’ll be accused of treason?”

“That’s right.”

“omg.”

“So, isn’t it the same as taking a huge risk every time I throw a single sword strike at Your Majesty?”

“Huh.”

“That’s why. “You should be given a special allowance or hazard allowance for one inspection.”

“Hey.”

Rakiel stuck his tongue out.

“So you’re going to get paid to hit me?”

“yes.”

“Am I the Golden Goblin? “Are you a mob that makes money by hitting people?”

“…I’ve never heard of a golden goblin. And I don’t know what a mob is, but the suggestion I just gave you is my honest opinion.”

“So you can’t hit my shield if I don’t give you hazard pay?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Damian nodded with a firm gaze. And on the other hand, I thought. This is a good opportunity to earn more money.

‘His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I consider you a benefactor. I admire your actions of caring for people without compensation. But apart from that… I’ll take whatever money I can from you.’

money.

Just thinking about it made my teeth grind. Looking back, the cause of all the unhappiness in his life was money.

His mother raised him alone. My mother’s miserable last days. He was left as an orphan in a back alley. All the hardships he had to go through to survive alone at a young age. The underground gladiatorial arena that flowed into the end. The days when I was trapped in a gladiatorial arena and couldn’t escape.

All those years of pain came from money. If only I had more money. If only my circumstances had been a little better. It was a misfortune that I should not have had to experience. So it was.

‘I respect you. But I need to get the money. How long will you be as healthy as you are now? ‘Because I’m not sure how long I can serve you like this.’

In fact, the crown prince was a person who was said to be lying in a hospital bed not long ago. I’ve gotten somewhat healthier recently. Although I found the strength to be active without any problems. It occurred to me that I never knew when my health would deteriorate again.

‘So, can I serve you for 10 years?’

10 years at most.

Or 5 years.

Maybe it’s shorter.

If you look at it realistically, it was like that. I wanted to prepare for the day when the crown prince would collapse and leave his side. I wanted to prepare for the day when I was forced to lose my job.

The goal is to receive as much compensation as possible until then. Save up as much money as possible. I thought that was the only way to prepare. It was still the same now.

‘I should get paid every time I get an opportunity like this.’

Loyalty and money are two different things.

It is foolish to work without pay just because you are loyal or respect someone. Damian looked at the crown prince with stubborn eyes. Rakiel, who received that gaze, stopped laughing.

‘Whoa. Damian, this guy behaves just like in the novel.’

Suddenly, the contents of the novel Demon Sword Emperor came to mind. Among them, the actions of the main character, Damien, from the beginning and middle of the novel came to mind.

‘The guy up until the middle part was surprisingly salty and a miser. I had a grudge over money. I always acted with money as the most important value. So… it’s still like that. That’s it.’

The request he makes so shamelessly. Those eyes that seem stubborn. I could see and feel all of those things. I was able to understand it when I overlapped Damian’s appearance in the novel.

Again, a smile formed on my face without me knowing.

“Well, if that’s what you want.”

“Are you sure?”

“okay. One day’s salary per sword attack. how is it?”

“great.”

Slurp.

Finally Damian drew his sword. Rachiel took a deep breath and listened to the ice cap. A cold shield was deployed.

…Partszzzz.

“come in.”

“All right.”

Damian adjusts his sword.

“For safety’s sake, I’ll go light at first.”

“…Okay, thank you.”

I held onto the handle of the ice cap tightly. I lowered my posture and waited for the sword strike. At that moment, the sword Damian was holding disappeared. No, at a speed that is invisible to the eye.

Tukeng-!

“…!”

I saw stars in front of me. The world suddenly became completely dark. Soon my vision returned along with a dizzy feeling. But Damian was a few steps further away than before.

No, the thing that got further away is….

“Hueok.”

This way.

After lowering my head in dizziness, I finally understood. There was a furrow dug in the ground two feet ahead. So this is….

‘Crazy.’ How many steps were you pushed back just because you blocked one sword strike?’

But is this a ‘light stroke for safety’?

‘What about the shield?’

Rachiel looked at the ice cap. I hoped it would be broken in one hit. But it wasn’t. The cold shield was still intact. Damian spoke calmly, as if he knew about our difficulties(?).

“As expected, it doesn’t break at this level. “I will go again.”

“uh?”

“going.”

“Hey, wait a minute….”

Toukwaang-!

“… Okay.”

A shooting star flashes before my eyes again. When I came to my senses, I found myself pushed further back than before. The aftereffects of dizziness were worse than before. But still the cold shield was not broken.

“What is this…”

“Hold on tight.”

“Huh?”

Tukwahak-!

“…Geek?”

It felt like a meteorite fell into my mouth. But Damian didn’t stop. Did they decide to take this opportunity to extract proper(?) allowances?

The guy’s swordsmanship became more and more powerful. I barely held on in front of him and held on again. The feeling of becoming the world’s most boneless chicken came over my whole body.

‘Aaaah, crazy!’

I had no idea it would be this bad. I knew that this guy’s sword attack would be powerful, but when I actually got into the position of receiving it, the feeling was on a different level. I thought that if I continued like this, not my shield, but my shoulder, waist, or knee would be shattered.

But I held on.

It had already started.

You have to succeed in this to get a cold crystal. An attempt was made to revive Mrs. Dean Lier’s vagina with a cold crystal. Save her. Continuing the momentum of opening an oriental medicine clinic. Take care of your bonus life even more.

‘Health-free, long life, wealth, fame, and royal life! ‘Go!’

I held on and held on, promising to have a beautiful future someday. And finally.

…Two-!

For the first time, a different sound came from the shield. It sounded like a huge pot lid cracking. And Damian’s stormy sword attack ended like a lie.

Thump thud….

The sound of something falling.

The appearance of rolling on the floor.

I opened my eyes unconsciously. He looked as if he was following the sign. It was finally visible.

“ah.”

Broken glass? No, rather, it’s a lump that looks like an ice shard. Several translucent, clear-colored lumps were lying on the floor. It was the cold crystal that I had longed to obtain.

‘It’s a success.’

While feeling dizzy, I clenched my fists. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket. I quickly packed the cold crystals in case they disappeared.

“Are you okay?”

“…Uh, roughly.”

Only then did I find myself laughing at Damian’s concern for me. So I sat down on the grass for a moment and caught my breath. But there wasn’t much time to waste.

“Keuung Sakshin.”

I got up.

I entered the villa with Damian’s support. I headed to the kitchen used as a decoction dispensing room. I took out the prepared galgeuntang ingredients.

Galgeun, dried arrowroot root.

Ephedra and jujube seeds.

Peony and licorice root.

Ginger root and cinnamon bark.

The portions were divided and combined accurately. Boil the clean water and boil it carefully. It was galgeuntang that I always made. However, one step was added at the end.

‘Cold crystal. ‘What would happen if I put this in?’

I took out the cold crystal I got earlier. Even though I was wrapped in a handkerchief, I felt extremely cold. The smallest piece was put into the galgeuntang.

Fondant.

As soon as the pieces of cold air were mixed, the steam rising from the galgeuntang suddenly subsided. Thin ice formed in an instant. Sweat was beading on this forehead.

‘please. Be successful. Please come out properly.’

I hope this attempt will lead to success. I hope it becomes a decoction that will boost Mrs. Dean Lier’s sexual energy. I hoped and hoped. I prayed with an earnest heart. And I prepared to drink the decoction.

‘If you drink it and put it in the circle slot, you can roughly test its ingredients.’

Only a very small amount through the slot. Just enough to not be dangerous to your body. You will be able to find out if you adjust it and apply it to your body.

Will this be harmful? Or would it be beneficial? How much yin energy can be boosted? You will be able to analyze and analyze for yourself through the faint method of thinking.

But that was the moment I thought about it.

Ding dong!

With an unexpected notification sound, an even more unexpected message appeared before my eyes.

[You have developed a new recipe based on the existing traditional herbal medicine, ‘Galgeun-tang’.] [

As a result of the new recipe, ‘Special Ice Galgeun-tang’ has been successfully prepared.]

[This challenging attempt has been a great experience for you. This has been done.]

[With successful experience as the foundation, a new skill has been unlocked.]

“….”

This is crazy.

Rakiel took a deep breath without even realizing it. A new skill revealed when you least expect it. The moment I read the last part of the message, there was only one thought in my head.

‘oh my god.’
