Episode 749
‘We’re really running out of firewood.’
The basis for treating these water-borne diseases is boiling water.
You have to boil water to cook anything.
Fortunately, an oasis exists and is connected to underground water, so a well also exists.
However, that did not mean the tree grew well.
That’s why there aren’t many trees.
It was not for nothing that livestock manure, such as horse manure or camel manure, was dried well and used as fuel in desert areas.
‘So the answer that emerged was human sacrifice.’
It would be quicker and more effective to solve the problem by killing one person.
The ‘sacred tree’ the prince spoke of was created by such people.
‘There’s a lot of sand and stones.’
There are also a lot of weeds.
Since it is an area where rinderpest passed through, wild animals such as roopods have already died en masse once.
So the weeds they eat also started to grow.
Thanks to this, mosquitoes have also started to become rampant.
Fortunately, the ecosystem is alive, so it’s okay ‘for now’. As mosquitoes spread, the number of dragonflies and small birds that eat them is also increasing.
This is thanks to catching the rinderpest quickly.
‘Let’s do what we can for now.’
Jin Cheon-hee made that promise, but she couldn’t help but feel angry.
So Jin Cheon-hee is petty, but really petty.
I went out at night.
Then he hit the prince hard on the back of the head and came back.
Isn’t Jin Cheon-hee now a top teenage expert?
In addition, it was possible because he had learned all kinds of strange martial arts and even magic, and was able to wander around the tents of guards and sorcerers in the palace of a foreign country at night.
I hit it pretty hard and this guy shamelessly came back with a big bump on his head.
I was so offended by his shamelessness that I went back the next day and this time I slapped myself in the eyelids.
This time, he came out with a big bruise on his face.
‘You bastard, be careful of the demonic cult after I leave.’
When I sent the letter, Yeo Ha-ryun said that he would not kill him yet. Not yet.
If I die while my brother is around, he will take the blame for me.
Anyway, Jin Cheon-hee ripped off all the resources that could be ripped off.
During the day, he gathered healers from the Damjin Kingdom and taught them how to treat dysentery.
Although all healers are shamans, they are also quite knowledgeable in herbal medicine.
“The healing spell itself consumes magical power. “If the problem can be resolved without using any treatment, it is best to use herbs.”
It was like that.
No matter how good a healer he is, he cannot treat even ten people a day.
So, save a little on your drinking power by using herbs.
‘But it’s not a form of advanced medical technology. It feels like treating minor and serious illnesses separately.’
That’s the basic concept.
There are a total of 200 healing magicians living in the royal capital.
Among them, about 100 belong to the royal family.
Jin Cheon-hee was not a government official and had been given full authority. In addition to the 50 members of the royal family, 50 freelance healers who only lived in the royal capital were separately selected and trained.
Teaching the causes of diseases and ways to prevent them.
How to distill medical alcohol.
And boiled water.
‘Damn boiled water.’
In southern Manchuria, such hardships have never been experienced.
This was the same for the North Sea Ice Palace, and even the island of Botamun did not suffer from lack of firewood.
“After all, wouldn’t human sacrifice be the most appropriate method?”
The prince smiles with a wide-eyed look on his face.
It feels like he is predicting Jin Cheon-hee’s failure.
“I also studied a little about how Baeklin Uigak practices medicine in the central plains, and it turns out that it is all based on abundant resources.”
“….”
“Is it possible to boil water in a barren land where there is no such thing?”
Jin Cheon-hee opened her mouth.
“Why do you think there are no resources?”
“Hmm. By no means are you planning to call the sand and water in this oasis resources? It is an area where there is only a dry season or a rainy season a year. Even during the rainy season, it doesn’t rain abundantly and you always have to think carefully about starting a fire. “In such an environment, do you always have to boil water before drinking it?”
He chuckled softly and continued.
“It would be possible in the Dadu Kingdom. Because cars are popular there. But it’s not Damjin.”
There is nothing special about you. Give up. That is being said in a very plausible way.
“It’s not just this pandemic. Even after that. There will be many problems. We’ll just do what we did. Even after you leave….”
Can you stop that?
History, life and its methods.
It’s not easy to change what you’ve done. Especially when what has been done is efficient.
A world where human sacrifice really works.
Humans do their best to hold on to the raft of ignorance and not be swept away by death.
In the meantime, isn’t the sacrifice of a cow for the greater good ultimately inevitable?
Jin Cheon-hee herself couldn’t know… but she still had the courage to say that what was wrong was wrong.
Just like when I was stoned in a village back then.
“Ha… that’s me.”
Jin Cheon-hee sighed and frowned.
“Prince Radan. “I don’t know if you remember what I said last time.”
“You said so much, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“If we really want to sacrifice a cow for the greater good, we should all do it together, right?”
Radan’s expression hardened a little.
“Isn’t it cowardly to be left out in the lottery?”
Isn’t the lot that gets chosen always the weak one?
“So you really can end all this disaster?”
Jin Cheon-hee answered with a straight gaze.
“yes.”
At Jin Cheon-hee’s short answer, Radan smiled strangely. And he took something out of his arms.
It was a pure white fist-sized stone.
“Then, Governor Jin. “Let’s make a bet.”
Jin Cheonhee glared and said.
“A bet?”
“is it so. bet.”
I remembered him mentioning a bet the other day in passing. However, I passed it off as a minor thing, but I didn’t know it was serious.
“I don’t think you would gamble in this situation… What bet are you making?”
“This is called the Stone of the Covenant. It is part of something called the Tablets of the Covenant.”
Stone of the Covenant. Tablets of the Covenant.
“It is a relic passed down from generation to generation in our royal family. “You could say it’s a holy relic.”
This is Jin Cheon-hee, whom Eungryong also met.
It wasn’t surprising that there was something like this.
“So?”
“When we make a covenant about this, we must never break it. “Those who break it will face great misfortune.”
A solemn aura was felt in the stone slab.
“So let’s make a bet?”
“is it so. Are you right? “Let’s bet on whether I’m right.”
Prince Radan looks at Jin Cheonhee intently.
“great. Let’s do it. If I solve the epidemic and water quality problems, will I win?”
“That’s right. If it were the other way around, you would lose.”
“Then, if I do it, you will completely ban human sacrifice from this kingdom. “You do so with the authority of a prince.”
The divine doctor did not hesitate at all.
The prince was inwardly surprised at that sight.
‘A crazy person is a crazy person. I thought you would get scared and run away.’
He doesn’t seem to think at all that he will fail.
Where on earth does this man get such confidence?
“great. Instead, Jin Tae-soo. “If you lose the bet…”
“What if you lose?”
“…We need you to join Maitreya Church. You wanted a country, so I want you. “Wouldn’t that be fair?”
“….”
“If you really win the bet, I will do everything in my power to contractually prohibit human sacrifice. It might be easier to die. If that happens, someone else sitting in my seat will perform our country’s traditional events.”
Only then does Jin Cheon-hee stop laughing.
“great. “Let me put my country on the line and let me put myself on the line.”
Goosebumps –
The prince got goosebumps.
If you run away, I was planning on laughing at you and calling you a hypocrite.
However, even a hint of madness was felt in Sinui.
The man who wasn’t smiling looked like a sharp blade somewhere.
The prince spoke strongly on purpose.
“Then let’s take a look at Governor Jin’s skills to see what he will do.”
Jin Cheon-hee turns her head and looks at the sun after hearing Prince Radan’s words.
“You said earlier that we should be careful about starting fires, right? “Because there is no fuel.”
Prince Radan looks at Jin Cheon-hee, who suddenly returns to the previous story.
What did he mean by this?
“Instead, there is an enormous amount of sunlight. “Right?”
okay. There is a sun here.
Sun fuel is in the sky. Do you need other fuel?
“sun? “Do you really think that is a resource?”
Jin Cheon-hee still answered with a smileless expression.
“Where I was, there was a saying like this. ‘If you don’t have teeth, you have gums.’”
After saying that, he stretched out his hands straight out with a blank expression, made a Y shape, and looked at the sun.
The ‘Knight of the Sun’ stance from a game played by Jin Cheon-hee in the past.
Oh oh. Praise!
Oh oh! sun!
It was like that. If there is no firewood, it is the sun.
* * *
He taught healers during the day and began other work at night with other types of shamans and Chakratant warriors.
There is only one thing Jin Cheon-hee wants to do.
Large magnifying glass.
The glassworking technology of the Damjin Kingdom is one of the things that Jin Cheon-hee has been coveting for a long time.
‘This is how I write it.’
Isn’t good something good?
The glass made by using spirits and combining it with magic is all beautiful and elaborate.
However, what Jin Cheon-hee wanted to create was even bigger.
“Leave the heating to me.”
Pour the moist melted glass into the mold.
Originally, making large glass was never easy. Unless you use Yuho.
However, shamans use the power of spirits to remove impurities from the glass and fix it smoothly within the frame.
Quaaaaa!
To prevent the shamans from collapsing, they assist with chakratant, and Jin Cheon-hee regulates the temperature with heat energy and ice energy.
‘Wow this works.’
In addition, by adding internal strength, a huge glass lens was completed that was as hard and smooth as crystal.
“Let’s complete ten more like this.”
“Hehehehehehehe… Just rest for a moment.”
Even with Chakratant’s help, the shamans collapsed and were busy breathing heavily.
Large magnifying glass.
A very large magnifying glass.
It’s not the end after putting it in a mold and making it.
In a way, they are the same as glasses.
Fine polishing and coating work are essential.
Because of this, everyone who participated in the work is exhausted and having a hard time.
It was even more difficult because Jin Cheon-hee did not explain why he had to make this.
Since we don’t know what trick the prince will pull, we can’t explain it until the matter is over.
However, humans tend to feel stuffy if they do not know the reason for what they do.
Even when playing with blocks as a child, isn’t it the human heart to set goals?
Whether it’s a dinosaur or a house. You still have to have some kind of income.
“I don’t know the goal.”
“Can we just make it round and big? sleekly?”
“That’s the way it is.”
“It’s too big to use as a bowl.”
“Why on earth are you asking me to do this?”
Because of this, Jin Cheon-hee felt the need to look at people and comfort them.
‘Here…I’ll just have to eat to appease you for now.’
