Episode 74
Is there anything that can replace the research lens?
Ray decided to put his undeveloped thoughts aside for a while.
If the answer doesn’t come out no matter how much you think about it, it’s better to rest your head at least a little.
Of course, even while taking a break, I continued to read medical books, so it may not be a break.
It was right to say do something else.
Ray looked at Eclay, who sat across from him and silently read a book.
Now that we have become friends to some extent, we can exchange words comfortably.
“Mr. Eclay is working very hard.”
So far, the author who read the book a couple of times more diligently than Eclay has said it well.
She said to him with a puzzled expression.
“I think you read the book more diligently than I did.”
“haha. Not much has been revealed about medicine yet, so we must devote ourselves to it.”
‘This place.’
Compared to modern times, it is an extremely low level of medicine.
Of course, it was overwhelmingly developed in all aspects of dealing with magic, swordsmanship, and mana.
Medical level too low. A study that commoners do not want to learn. Even nobles don’t look at it with a good eye.
When various conditions were met, there was even a phenomenon in which medicine was rejected altogether.
Even if it can save a lot of people.
Eclay looked at Ray and her eyes lit up.
“There shouldn’t be much revealed. If nothing has been revealed, can you prove it yourself?”
“yes?”
When asked back in doubt, she giggles.
Then he gestured for me to follow him and started walking somewhere.
I closed the book I was reading and followed her, revealing several doors and a hidden underground staircase.
I’ve been visiting her house for over a month, but I never thought something like this would exist.
As I followed her disappearing down the stairs and entered the room, I began to smell the scent of a modern oriental clinic.
Ray looked around and marveled.
“Wow. What is all this?”
Mushrooms were also grown on one side of the dried roots and fruits, and small animals could be seen on the platform like the experiment table.
That pair is just a research facility.
she said proudly.
“ha ha ha. This is where I study.”
You don’t have to ask what you’re researching.
Anyone could see that this was a medical research facility.
Who in another world would build a facility like this!
Ray showed how seriously she took medicine from the fact that she had her own medical research facility.
Even so, this facility was so well equipped that most of the things were satisfactory.
It seemed that he could do animal experiments, which he had hoped for, in this place.
“You can use it.”
She looked at herself and smiled.
It is like a mother talking to her son.
“Really?”
It was cute to see her restlessly swallowing her saliva.
Eclay laughed at his appearance.
“okay. Because I was alone.”
“Mister Eclay!”
“why?”
“i love you!”
His mind was sold out to a research facility.
* * *
Ray did not think of going back to his mansion.
His daily routine was to focus solely on his studies without looking at books.
Beside him, Eclay was helping with the experiment.
“This is troll blood. It is characterized by being soft and hardened in a short period of time.”
When a certain amount of green stuff is spilled outside from a small tube, it hardens immediately.
Ray picked it up and touched it.
Soft- soft-
The touch feels like a little bit of strong jelly.
He looked at it and thought.
‘Seeing how quickly it hardens, I can understand the troll’s healing power.’
The reason why it hardens in an instant is not clear, but it is thought to be related to platelets.
Platelets, which are responsible for primary hemostasis through adhesion and aggregation processes, coagulate blood.
Trolls don’t know what it is, but they solidify much faster than humans and harden like jelly.
As it is troll’s blood, which is said to be able to be made into a potion if refined well, it seems to be quite effective in recovery.
Ray asked Eclay.
“Then what happens when you inject this blood into an animal?”
“It is unrefined troll blood. I’ll probably die anyway.”
While talking, he took out a small mouse and slightly injured it.
When the troll’s blood was shed there, the rat squeaked and moved for a while, then trembled and convulsed.
“You are dying.”
It’s an obvious result, but it’s strange again.
Are these laws equally applicable in this world?
Ray and Eclay did many other experiments.
Most of it was to teach Ray the results of Eclay’s research, but each time he experimented one by one, it was several times more enjoyable than reading a book.
Some animals had scarlet blood, and some monsters had very rough skin, but it was strong enough not to be cut by a sword.
From modern animal monsters to heterogeneous species.
The more he got to know one, the more acutely he felt the absence of knowledge.
After about a week of research, Ray realized a curious fact.
It was the fact that the body of an orc would move without any problems even if it was mixed with other races.
It’s not just organs and blood.
He roamed around the Holy Land in search of orcs and ogres to try them out for himself.
Then, regardless of the patients(?)’s will, the forced operation was carried out.
Orcs and ogres fell into non-REM sleep as if delta waves started coming out of their brains from Ray’s fist.
He deftly cut open the orc’s lower abdomen.
Similarly, he incised the ogre’s lower abdomen, took out the ogre’s kidney, and exchanged it for an orc’s kidney.
With a hand movement worthy of admiration even by the sight of a god, the orcs and ogres’ stomachs were sewn together with a thread made of mana, as if they were separated at some point.
“Is it okay to just look at the status now? Clean.”
We struggled unexpectedly because our heights were so different from each other, but that was the case.
After the operation, Ray, who had cleaned his hands with magic, waited for them to wake up, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
has it been four hours? The ogre still had no sign of opening his eyes, but the orc awoke.
“Keuuuk… Chwiik.”
According to the results from Eclay’s laboratory, Orcs seem to accept the bodies of other races without difficulty.
The orc looked around and screamed as soon as he saw Ray.
“Chwiik! Chwiik! Chwiik!”
Ray frowned as he heard a loud hum.
Seeing that, the orc’s greenish skin turned white.
However, the pain that gradually pushed through the lower abdomen started screaming as if it was the first.
“Ah!”
As soon as he woke up, Ray put his index finger to his mouth and quietly pointed at the ogre.
An ogre lying dead. No, since he’s not breathing, he’s definitely dead.
Although orcs were stupid, they were intelligent monsters.
He didn’t know what his actions meant.
‘If you don’t want to be like this, be quiet.’
Like a child who stopped crying in front of candy, the orc’s big mouth shut.
Satisfied with that, Ray muttered while looking at the orc.
“Except for the pain, it doesn’t seem to have any problems moving… it’s perfect.”
I think the surgery was successful, and I also did the experiment.
Feeling satisfied, I was about to get up when I noticed a singularity coming out of the orc’s wound.
‘water?’
Strange water started coming out of the stitches in his lower abdomen.
As he tried to touch his wound with a serious expression, the orc went mad.
“Chwiik! Just save my life! Chwiik!”
“Don’t worry, I will save you. Hold.”
Giying –
With a short mana resonance, the mana in the air bound the orc’s body.
The orc, who couldn’t even scream, looked at him with fearful eyes while moaning.
His eyes narrowed in fear of not knowing what he might do to his body.
However, Ray did not intend to open the wound without anesthesia.
I lightly touched the wound and touched something like water.
It was just the blood of the orc that was shiny and slightly sticky.
But why is color transparent?
Until the operation, the orc’s blood was a deep greenish red.
But now it was transparent… so to speak, it had the same transparency as water.
Blood is red because of the human body’s hemoglobin, a pigment protein in red blood cells.
In other words, the red color of blood is due to the color of hemoglobin in red
blood cells.
But does this mean that hemoglobin has undergone transformation and become transparent?
Why?
Of course, it is not that transparent blood does not exist.
If you look closely, even shrimp or squid have transparent blood.
Of course, when combined with oxygen, it should be pale blue, but the original color is transparent.
However, oaks do not have hemocyanin like squid or shrimp.
Why is the blood of orcs with only hemoglobin transparent?
Suddenly after surgery!
Seeing him clenching his head and behaving strangely, the orc’s expression changed every moment.
Ray sighed and dispelled the spell on the orc.
“Cancel.”
Only then did the orc, who was able to move his body freely, opened his mouth.
“Chwiik! human. I was wrong. Chwiik! From now on, the human village… Chwiik! Do not rob… Chwiik!”
It couldn’t be that annoying to let out a snort at the end of every word.
Ray slightly paralyzed the orc’s wound.
When the pain stopped, the orc healed his wound.
“Don’t touch the wound.”
“Chwiik!”
The orc, who removed his hand from the wound in an instant, stood up cautiously.
Then he ran and started running away.
It should only last about three hours, but during that time, you won’t feel any pain, so you won’t have much trouble returning to your village.
Ray, who looked at the scene for a while, also hurriedly headed to Eclay’s mansion.
Because I want to quickly research this strange matter.
* * *
“Meet the Holy Son.”
Ray ran inside, ignoring the people’s greetings.
“Mister Eclay!”
As soon as I returned to the laboratory, I found Eclay.
While reading a book in her library, she smiled slightly at the voice anxiously searching for her.
“Why do you keep calling loudly, kid?”
Ray, who entered the study following the voice, spoke to her.
“While experimenting on an orc, I found out a strange fact.”
“huh?”
“I transplanted an ogre’s kidney into an orc’s body, and it was accepted without any problems.”
“Yeah, that’s right. Orcs accept bodies of other races without any abnormalities.”
“The problem lies after that!”
He said with a clear expression of excitement unlike usual.
“The blood of the orc transplanted with the ogre’s kidney has turned transparent!”
