Episode 748:
How long has it been? Yeo Ha-ryun looked down and said.
“It looks safe here.”
At those words, everyone went up.
My eyes sting because of the light.
After adjusting to the view and looking around, three stone houses appeared. There are no people and the houses have been abandoned for a long time.
The royal road, Namts, was visible in the distance.
“I guess this is a passage they don’t know about.”
“huh. Since the foundation is an underground ruin, the road was very twisted. There seemed to be a lot of hidden facilities.”
“What are you going to do from now on, brother?”
Jin Cheon-hee scratched her head.
“First of all, about that golden mask, he didn’t take it off until the end. So, you have no intention of revealing your identity to me. “I don’t want to damage diplomacy.”
“Are you the kind of person who solves problems beneath the surface?”
“It’s a calculation rather than a disposition. One way or another, the Hua Empire is a gangster. “It’s not something I should say when I’m also being carried along.”
Jin Cheonhee laughed bitterly.
The one and only envoy was dispatched and died, but even if it were disguised as an accidental death, it is unclear how much the emperor would accept it.
On the contrary, if they bring in the siege artillery that was used against the Sukshin tribe to use that as an excuse to gain ground, they are the ones who will be bothered.
So, you probably want to stop pretending and send it off as quickly as possible.
‘Our gangsters are very dependable.’
Jin Cheon-hee continued.
“First… join the military unit. We need to finalize trade. And after sending all the lawmakers away, I will pretend to go back and get out later on my own. And I should join you.”
“Are you trying to keep the military from getting involved?”
“Even though the Hua Empire is a bit of a thug, it really can’t start a war, right? “This country is already at its limit.”
“And my brother hates war the most.”
“okay. We’ll be handling things in a similar way behind the scenes. “Officially, they have no choice but to leave me alone.”
“They will attack from the shadows.”
Wow!
If Hwang-gu is coming, he raises his head stiffly as if telling him to come.
Sometimes he loses face because of the super expert’s hiding, but Hwang-gu is still Hwang-gu.
It’s still a huge help.
Jin Cheon-hee folds her arms and is lost in thought.
“But it’s complicated… it’s complicated. During the Blood Immortal Temple, the royal family took the lead in human sacrifice and employed shamans. Plus blood missions.”
“The Lord of the North Sea Ice Palace at least knew that he was wrong.”
“okay. But this side doesn’t have any doubts that they are wrong. “Is there a way for everyone to be happy in this situation?”
Jin Cheonhee laughed bitterly.
Even in children’s fairy tales, there is no happy ending for a princess and a witch.
“Okay then, let’s part ways for a moment. hungry.”
“i get it. Be sure to replenish your stamina. brother.”
Jin Cheonhee nodded.
“You too, eat well. Then, Ilkana Teksa. “And everyone else, please take care of my younger brother.”
Isn’t saying that a deep respect?
“brother. “I would only do that to my subordinates…”
Yeo Ha-ryun became a little embarrassed.
* * *
As soon as Jin Tianxi returned, he processed a lot of things.
Now that the work is done, the lawmakers have been safely sent back. After returning with the government troops, we were able to quickly reach the Hua Empire without much risk.
The cavalry of the Hua Imperial Army was also notified that the work was over.
The final meeting with the king.
“Now the rinderpest is almost gone. Thank you very much. “I thank you greatly.”
He chuckled and expressed his gratitude to Jin Cheonhee.
‘Doesn’t the king know what happened in the underground ruins? Or is he doing this even after knowing it?’
Looking at the movements of the facial muscles, it didn’t look like he was lying. Of course, there are some experts who fake even that.
“That’s too much praise.”
There is a high possibility that they did not notice the accident for some reason.
‘It’s a shame, I could have gotten more if I had talked to the Golden Mask longer.’
However, the other person was also a person with a deep heart.
Didn’t he keep his words to a minimum in order not to give any information to Jin Cheon-hee?
said the king.
“I’m sorry, but I have a favor to ask of you, a saint renowned for your faithfulness and who removed rinderpest.”
Jin Cheonhee’s eyes widen slightly.
‘Hmm?’
“What’s going on?”
“Right now, a strange disease has occurred in the royal capital. “I don’t know the cause… I want to find out and ask for treatment.”
Strange disease? It’s a weird thing.
Jin Cheonhee’s eyes narrowed.
“I gladly accept it.”
“Oh thank you. “The prince will be with you.”
“Instead, I would like you to increase my stake in the mine?”
A conspiracy is a conspiracy and what needs to be ripped off must be ripped off.
‘Master, disciple earns money. Just wait.’
* * *
Haven’t they already been ripped off enough to be ripped off?
Jin Cheon-hee was confident even when the old king criticized her, asking how much more she was going to take.
No matter what, you have to eat something, right?
In particular, you must not spare your body in order to harvest the special herbs and spices of the Damjin Kingdom.
And there is one more thing.
‘glass. The glassworking skills are amazing.’
Glass was crafted using magic, and the technology was difficult to replicate even in the central region.
In the first place, since the spirits of this world are like the district mayor, it was not a problem that could be brought in by kidnapping a shaman.
‘If you use the top part, too much is taken in the middle, so I would like to develop an independent distribution network with the glass shamans here.’
I’m not doing this just to get a beautiful glass bottle.
‘Better lenses.’
Because there are endless things that glass can do.
So, together with the prince and his guards, we arrived at the place where the mysterious disease was located.
“It feels like death to see people nearby developing the same symptoms.”
“Hmm?”
At that time, Hwanggu barked loudly near the oasis.
The water must have been contaminated since I didn’t even touch the tip of my tongue.
‘Is it a waterborne disease?’
It’s common in this world. And it’s also fatal.
Jin Cheon-hee first met the patients and took their pulse. Observe the condition and ask about the condition of the stool.
Diarrhea, bloody stool, mucus, fever, and abdominal pain.
Fortunately, there were clear common symptoms among the patients.
I stayed here for a long time and observed it closely.
‘It probably looks like bacterial dysentery…’
Jin Cheon-hee knows this well. Because it is a common infectious disease even in Gangho.
In Korea, it is a group 1 infectious disease and is often transmitted through stool excreted by patients or carriers.
To put it this way, ‘Can I get caught because I eat poop?’ You may think this, but usually infection occurs through contaminated water or contaminated hands.
Even a very small amount can cause infection, and because of the bloody stool, dysentery is also called red blood.
‘Sakyamuni also died of dysentery.’
The spread of dysentery is frightening.
So much so that it can be said that just saying good morning is enough.
Rather than penicillin, which blocks bacterial cell wall synthesis, antibiotics that block protein synthesis themselves work better.
‘There is streptomycin.’
Geumho Shindan.
But of course, since they are not a strong team, they are short on supplies.
And if you force a small amount into this situation, you will only be increasing your tolerance.
‘Symptomatic treatment will be the main focus.’
While he was pondering this, the prince came to his side.
“How is it? It was order and peace that was maintained through the sacrifice of a few people. “This happened because you burned the roots of the mature tree and the water was not purified.”
At that moment, a cold feeling rushed around Jin Cheonhee.
Sussseu –
In an instant, frost formed around the area. A level beyond that of a spirited merchant.
Jin Cheon-hee was just spreading cold with anger.
“Saint Jin Cheon-hee. “Can you save us and them?”
“…I think you look better taking off the mask than wearing it.”
golden mask.
“As expected, you are not surprised. “I wasn’t expecting to make a fuss, but I was hoping to be a little shocked.”
“Because there were only three suspects.”
Prince Radan.
He is the person who personally welcomed Jin Cheon-hee when he first came as an envoy.
“As I went down to the underground city, I was curious about how water flows, but surprisingly, the answer was simple.”
“The magic that goes into it is complicated. “Human sacrifice may seem simple, but it is quite delicate.”
Are there only four pseudo-believers I’ve met so far?
Blood Mission, Demonic Cult, Blood Immortal….
“It seems like we have gone far beyond the existing teachings of Lamaism. What do you call it?”
“It’s called Maitreya Bridge.”
Lastly, Maitreya Bridge.
‘For some reason, the demons came running and turned on the surround speakers, saying that Maitreya was coming.’
It was like that. These four were friends I met as soon as I came to Sae-oe.
In this town where human sacrifice is practiced as if it were a traditional culture, the Demonic Cult has become the weakest of the Four Great Heavenly Kings.
‘It would be better for the Demonic Cult to rule. ‘The world of cancer is cancer.’
This may be why the Demonic Cult carries its head stiffly.
By the standards of the Central Powers, they are a cult that should be eliminated, but in this neighborhood, they are a conscientious, strong-willed religious group.
For some reason, I feel like Milk Man Al Capone, but whatever.
“Large-scale human sacrifice. Even the spirit was caught there and the water was purified by sucking the stem. “It wouldn’t have been a facility just for purifying water.”
A tree grown through human sacrifice is used as a water purifier. What kind of cost-effective horror novel is this?
“yes. you’re right. However, the fact that it was purified is the truth.”
Jin Cheonhee thought.
‘I sent the peeps back safely. ‘I don’t have the courage to tell these guys how the water I’ve been drinking is purified water.’
It’s best to keep this kind of shock to yourself.
It may seem like those from the Demonic Cult are just listening to it in silence, but we bastards have grown up well and will vomit when we hear stories like this.
“I will use some of the kingdom’s medical staff.”
“Oh, I thought you were going to kill me instantly?”
“If you do that in broad daylight, you’re talking about going to war. Be careful on the road at night. Oh, and when you die, who will do the human sacrifice next?”
At those words, the prince burst out laughing.
“Kkkkkkkkkkk.” Oh, I see. I know this won’t end if you kill me. So….”
“….”
Jin Cheonhee didn’t answer and just looked at him.
said the prince.
“You don’t trust humans. Rather, face the darkness as it is. But why did you become a divine doctor?”
The prince gazes into cold blue eyes.
Now there is no mask between the two.
Why? I couldn’t understand the inner thoughts of the man who was called a saint in front of me.
He wants to save humans, but he doesn’t trust them.
He was someone who loved humans but at the same time believed in the banality of evil.
“…It’s annoying.”
Surprisingly, these words came from the mouth of God.
Finally, he said this.
“Since the king has entrusted it to me, I will spend a lot of money on the budget. Manpower too. It’s not my country anyway. All you have to do is fix it.”
“Ho-oh, are you saying it can be fixed without human sacrifice?”
“Are you going to give me money? Are you going to tell me?”
There is no definite answer. But why?
There was no wavering in his blue eyes.
The prince laughed bitterly.
“Even if you give money and manpower, nothing will change. This is not an abundant land like Jungwon, and trees are also rare. But…”
He stared at Jin Cheonhee.
“…great. I give you carte blanche. “If that fails, you will know that my way is right.”
That’s not bad either. Despair goes hand in hand with faith.
When he becomes desperate, Maitreya will bloom in his heart as well.
The prince said to Jin Cheonhee.
“Shall we make a bet?”
