Episode 23 Village of Elves (6)
“Although it is an elf, this is…”
It was a beauty I had never seen before.
If humans usually feel possessive after looking at the appearance of elves, the elf in front of them was on a different level.
A look that doesn’t even make you possessive.
It was the first time that I had only seen one face, but my heart became reverent.
Long eyelashes and fine hair.
Even the nose with its graceful curves was not human.
For a while, I had no choice but to stop and stare at the lying elf.
After coming to his senses after a few minutes, he murmured.
“This is what it means to be possessed by beauty…”
It seemed like a dream.
I even forgot the purpose of coming here and just stared blankly at it.
Ray shook his head.
“To put the opposite sex in front of a patient. It’s gone, it’s gone.”
As he spoke, he looked at the elf’s expression.
I heard that it exhaled purple breath, but as it was said that it became clear, I couldn’t see it now.
Ray tore off the white clothes he was wearing.
When I put the torn clothes under her nose, the color of the clothes faded a little.
That too, in light purple.
“It is strange. Purple breath…”
Saying that breath has color means that it can be an addiction.
I needed to find out if there was something in my lungs or bronchial tubes.
That said, there was no endoscope, and he did not know that the elves might kill him if he recklessly opened his stomach.
There was only one way.
Rey put the elf’s hands together with her own.
This was because the most active part of mana was the palm.
Rey, who held her hand tight so that it wouldn’t fall, let her mana flow.
‘and. This wide….’
Her mana rod was literally a monster.
Aside from the enormous size, the strength of the mana rod itself was incomparable to his own.
Perhaps even if she just pushed mana into Ray’s body, Ray’s body would burst without maintaining its shape.
Ray gulped at the terrifying figure he could imagine, examining every corner of her body.
There appeared to be no foreign matter in the bronchi and lungs.
I also looked at the rest of the nose, but couldn’t find any problems.
I tilted my head and tried blowing mana from head to toe.
I slowly moved the mana and searched for even the smallest blood, but in the end I couldn’t find anything.
I was puzzled as I let go of Ray’s hand.
“No problem? It’s not like life is over…”
When was the time when I ran into a problem in medicine.
My pride was hurt.
A doctor who can’t fix a patient when he has a patient in front of him.
It was very different from what he had envisioned.
Aside from not knowing the symptoms, you can’t even find the problem.
“I should have studied in advance…”
If there were cutting-edge medical facilities that could be used in modern times, it could have been done, but this was a different world.
Rather than giving up, I had to do the best I could.
Rey raised the elf’s eyes.
If the eyeball is dry over time, it is normal for the eyeball to produce tears due to the protection of the eyeball, but there is no tears.
“I’m not a vegetative person… I’m completely unconscious.”
Even if it continued in this state, there was nothing that could be done.
After sitting and thinking about the symptoms for a while, Ray noticed a slightly strange smell coming from the lying elf.
I couldn’t smell it because it had a strong fruity scent, but when I got used to it, it smelled different.
A smell I’ve felt somewhere.
It was a familiar smell. It was similar to the smell of an old man living alone who could not be supported.
He hurriedly laid the elf aside.
Then, what he saw was the rotten back of an elf.
Because he maintained the same posture for a long time, his back was bitten, and the soft cloth at the pus burst was wet, causing a secondary infection.
How long would it have been if I left it like this?
At least it was this much because there was still mana left in the elf.
Ray was furious at the miserable appearance.
No matter how much it is because of lack of knowledge, this is not because of lack of knowledge, it is just neglect.
“Noble? dignity? Awe? I’m sitting there screaming Is this the awe you were talking about?”
In contrast to the beauty of the front, her back was truly devastating.
He, who was talked about as a legend in modern times, was miserable enough to question whether he could be completely repaired.
I even shed tears when I thought of her who must have been here for a long time without anyone.
“Huh…”
It was fortunate that the bugs weren’t attracted to what kind of magic was hanging in the house.
Thinking about how to treat it, Ray sighed again as the lack of medical supplies became desperately glaring.
“I wish there was at least a disinfectant…”
Of course, I had to get things that have disinfection effects from nature.
However, it is a world with plants and animals that are different from modern times.
It is possible that a bigger problem may arise while treating them for no reason because they look similar.
Reluctantly, Ray had to fetch water.
Fortunately, water was readily available.
It was because there was a small pond at the back of the house as soon as I went outside.
He wove the leaves to make a watertight basket and brought water to purify it with his own mana.
No matter how clean the pond was, there was a possibility that unknown microorganisms were living there.
Then, using very little mana, he chanted toward the water.
“Heal.”
If it contained even a little recovery ability, that was enough.
If she had a strong mana rod, I couldn’t guarantee it, but she would easily handle her own small amount of mana.
Of course, mana with a different affinity had the potential to be poisonous.
However, since she was originally an elf who used pure mana, there was little chance of that happening.
The reason Ray didn’t directly heal her was simple.
First of all, the heel itself is not omnipotent.
Congenital or tumor stones cannot be corrected with healing.
Healing only increases healing power.
If it was an almighty heal, it would be quicker to go to the priest.
The healing magic used by wizards had certain limitations.
Besides, no matter how huge her mana load was, if she did something wrong, she could not stand her own pure mana and would die.
It was because the different types of mana, such as magic power and holy power mana, were so great that they ignored the size of the mana rod and destroyed it.
Of course, it was a problem that happened because the mana he used was unusual.
Otherwise, whenever wizards use heals, it is normal for people who do not match well to die.
After washing her hands with the healed water, Ray applied the water little by little to her back.
Since he used a very small amount of mana so as not to be noticed by the elves, the effect was not significant.
It was much better than not having one.
“I have to clean the other places too…”
Ray muttered in embarrassment as he wiped his back.
It was a medical practice, but it could have bought a big circle for the elves.
However, Ray soon shook his head.
“What kind of grudge do you have when you don’t take care of one of the elves that they hold dear?”
He grunted and wiped every nook and cranny of her body.
The important parts had no choice but to close their eyes tightly.
He even dulled the senses of his hands with mana, and he could say that he did his best without any hesitation.
If someone asks if he didn’t polish himself with a black heart, he can beat him up without hesitation.
It seemed like 30 minutes had passed since I started wiping my body.
My mind and body were overworked, so it’s not strange to sweat, but I didn’t sweat because the temperature in the house was very comfortable.
It was quite cool inside the room, which was kept at an appropriate temperature, probably because of various magics.
Laying her on her side, Ray scratched her head.
“Shall we go back after doing this for today?”
It would be futile to keep thinking about treatment now, when you don’t even know what the problem is.
There was only a way to make the current elves in a better state.
* * *
The next day, Ray also came to the village.
Pretending to stop talking to Pia, he went back and waited for the village elves to eat lunch as soon as Pia disappeared.
As they lead a regular life, when the time came, there were no elves wandering around the village.
Taking advantage of that gap, Ray quickly climbed the tree and arrived at Aira’s house.
“Whoa… whoa… what a fucking tall tree.”
I always feel it, but it is very difficult to climb.
Thinking that he would put the stairs when he built the house, he entered the room and saw her lying in the same posture as yesterday.
Like yesterday, I scooped up water and wiped myself off.
“Still, I’m glad my back is better than yesterday.”
I couldn’t tell unless I looked closely, but I was satisfied that my condition had improved.
After wiping the spaces between her fingers clean, Ray breathed mana into her again.
Through the head to the neck shoulder waist and ankles.
I tried turning mana in all kinds of places, but in the end I couldn’t find the problem again.
He sighed, put his hand down, and sat down.
“Whoa. What the hell is the problem?”
No matter how much I try, there is no disease that comes to mind, and there is no way to confirm it.
It would be nice if I could do that easy blood test just once.
Ray shook his head at the first taste of defeat.
It was a big shock to him.
A dying patient is right in front of you, and it becomes your job to just watch.
Aside from hurting my pride, I felt a sense of loss.
The shock and loss of medicine turned into a resolution.
“I will make sure there is no disease in this world that I cannot cure. It’s something you’ve done in modern times, but can’t you just say it here?”
He would not have known that the resolution he made now would change his life forever.
