Chapter 207. How to prepare for ominous omens
⑷ In this era, it is impossible to simply calculate what percentage the fatality rate is if this disease is circulating.
It is dangerous if you do not urgently prepare countermeasures.
First of all, I thought I should come up with a countermeasure.
‘Is this a kind of problem that is too late when you think about it after the situation has broken out
?
Judging by the circumstances, whether or not the Seongguk would have a means of attack using an infectious disease could no longer be ignored.
‘First of all,
should I come up with a countermeasure alone?
It is a certainty obtained through past cases.
A number of annoying problems follow from simply approaching this problem through him.
If so, it would be much faster and more convenient to prepare alone.
‘Above all, the most important thing is the possibility that I just misunderstood.’
that would be better
But my ‘feel’ whispers.
This is an infinitely high possibility.
And this feeling never goes wrong.
“…It’s bothering me.”
I sighed and came out, leaving the archives library behind.
I hurriedly left the territory to investigate, so if I don’t hurry back, everyone will worry about what’s going on.
“Once you go back, find out how to deal with it right away..”
Fortunately, coping is not difficult.
It’s just an endlessly tedious task.
To walk, grumbling in annoyance, and somewhat deciding what to do next.
In front of me, for some reason, I saw a familiar face.
“…Who is the author?”
Surprisingly.
I tilted my head and approached the 2nd Prince, Leonil, who was walking blankly in front of me.
“Leonil-hyung, what are you doing here?”
I called out to say hello, but somehow there was no response.
Wasn’t he silent the entire time as if he was lost in thought?
….Or was I just so insignificant?
older brother? Because I’m here? Let’s look at this. No, look this way! You bastard!
“older brother?”
As I seriously contemplated whether to scribble on my face if I ignored it any longer, he blinked.
“…Hmm… Is that Arel?”
what? Why are you now looking this way as if you saw me…
Something is strange.
Was he such a fierce man?
It can’t be.
Although I haven’t seen you often.
He never looked like this when I met him from time to time.
Even if he didn’t stand out compared to other members of the royal family, he still had a bright feeling.
Even though he was ordinary, he was not a person who lived so carelessly.
Yes, he was really an ordinary prince.
….But is this a compliment?
While I was worried about the impression of my older brother in my head.
He groaned a little and let out a sigh.
“I was tired for a while. I was out of my mind.”
Is it that hard?
see
The royal family is so hard.
but it’s a bit strange
Has anything been so difficult lately?
It’s not like something happened in the country.
Aside from the coronation not too long ago, there was nothing special… Could it be because of the coronation?
‘…Did I care this much?’
I wanted to be surprised.
Obviously, at the coronation ceremony, Leonil’s appearance looked somewhat unusual.
I had many complicated feelings inside.
‘So… is that something to be concerned about…?’
It’s not that I don’t know at all.
Unlike the oldest brother, who had a firm throne from the beginning.
In the case of Leonil-hyung, his position was quite subtle.
Even without the possibility of a throne.
Because of his position as the second prince, he must have been treated as an annoyance.
Yes, no matter where you go, second place always has a lot of worries.
‘…That’s why I got the territory right away and left it.’
Naya had no interest in the throne from the beginning, and rather felt that it was a nuisance.
In addition, even if you are not in the position of a prince, you do not have to have a headache because you have the position of a lord and the owner of the hottest city in the kingdom.
….Ah yes!
I was struggling with the possibility of a dispute with the Seongguk.
By the way, did Leonil hyung-nim ever have trouble?
Unlike other royal families, no matter who becomes the king, there will be no special storms.
“What’s wrong?”
again
Again he was silent.
Negative is positive.
It’s no different than saying it outright.
what to do I feel kind of annoying.
Normally, if it were my personality, I would have waved and left, saying ‘Then think hard’.
why? because that’s annoying
I don’t know if it’s a beauty problem.
I don’t want to go along with the agony of a brother I’m not very close to.
I’m not that lazy either.
“???? Hmm.”
However, I glanced over at Leonil-hyung and frowned.
Also something is weird.
Like a child who had an accident or something.
I feel that kind of suspiciousness.
“…is something going on?”
Being from the same royal family, I couldn’t ask forcibly, so I just asked again like this.
Are you still thinking of saying this?
It seems annoying, so should I give up?
when you want to worry about it.
“…Arel, what do you think?”
“yes?”
Isn’t Leonil-hyung suddenly bringing up these words?
“What are you talking about?”
“So… Hmm, that’s right. Arel, do you really have no attachment to the throne?”
It’s definitely a difficult question to ask outright.
It is a statement that can be greatly misunderstood by others.
I wondered if this was a trap, so I secretly searched for signs around me.
There are no other guys.
Are you really asking me out of curiosity?
I thought for a while about what kind of answer I should give.
I decided to answer my brother’s question like this.
“There were no regrets from the beginning.”
“Is it really?”
“I am serious.”
It’s not even telling lies.
To begin with, the throne is like shit to me.
If I had been the only member of the royal family in the kingdom, I might have run away right away.
To that extent, I am not attracted to things like the throne.
However, in my case, my thoughts cannot be the immutable truth.
I am not so arrogant as to swear like that.
There are as many viewpoints and ideas as there are people.
“…Could it be, older brother?”
My eyes narrowed.
“No, I also… I understand about the coronation. I am also sincerely congratulating the oldest brother on his coronation.”
However, Leonil-niisama shook his head and said that.
Sounds like you’re telling the truth to my ears.
” but??????
” but?”
what do you want to say
I calmly waited, but Leonil hyung-nim hesitated about something and eventually shut up again.
“No. I guess I was just trying to say something weird. Never mind.”
….to say this and not care.
I’m not kidding…
But contrary to my intentions, I nodded lightly for now and said I wouldn’t mind what I just said.
I also thought that there was no need to listen to it anyway.
‘Is it really as I feared then?’
Even at the coronation, it didn’t look very comfortable to plant.
At least, it was clear that my older brother had some complicated feelings.
‘But… am I really just thinking about that?’
Or…
“Leonil hyung.”
“hmm?”
When I called his name again, he flinched.
“Oh no! never me.”
What is it? What is not?
what? not a guilty person
If anyone sees it, they will misunderstand that I must hurt him. I really…..
“Then I have work to do, so I’m going to leave. I don’t know what concerns you have. Please do not carry it alone.”
“Yeah… Thank you.”
He answered me like that, and sent me on my way back.
‘…Let’s check it for now.’
And while continuing to walk around the garden, watching for signs of him worrying about something, I decided to remember today’s events.
‘I just hope you don’t reach out to weird things.’
I sincerely wished as I moved my gaze into his arms… into the pockets of his coat.
Please don’t dream of anything stupid.
“I want to know first, but how much knowledge do you guys have about medicine?”
Let me ask you this question.
The alchemist Darmon and the exclusive wizard representative Dia organized their thoughts for a while before answering.
“Medicine is not my specialty, but before I worked in the palace, I used to get requests for strange medicines from various nobles.”
“Which drug?”
“Why aren’t you…? A love potion.”
“Ah… I heard it was popular.”
heard the rumors
It was around the time I was born.
I have heard that quite strange drugs were popular among the nobles in Ernesia Kingdom.
I heard it was a love potion or something?
“So what kind of drug is it actually?”
“I can only say that it is not such a romantic drug.”
When I showed interest, Damon told me the information about the drug with a wry smile that seemed extremely difficult to say.
When I heard about it, I was a little taken aback.
No matter how much I listen to it…
“What is an aphrodisiac?”
??????
I can’t deny it.
Before that, why was that kind of thing popular among nobles at the time?
What the hell happened in those days?
Because I was imagining it roughly, I naturally frowned.
Among the nobility, such issues are regarded as important.
There are always a lot of idiots who get their hands on such foul play.
In particular, alchemists want money… no, so they must have made such a strange medicine to buy favor with them.
“Yes, but the efficacy was poor. Rather, there were quite a few nobles who died because of excessive toxicity.”
With just that level of explanation, you’ll quickly understand how useless it is.
A little disappointed.
That’s not what I know.
Well, is it difficult to make a real potion with the technology here?
“Could it be that you made something like that too?”
“no. It’s just that some of the alchemists I knew were specialties, so I got to know them a little.”
Fortunately, he didn’t touch any of that.
“However, they manufactured it to gain the trust of the nobles, and in the end, a great nobleman died, causing a great uproar. At the time, I hadn’t touched any of those drugs, so I was able to pass safely.”
“Right. Then what about Dia?”
“Even if it’s medicine… We can only make basic catalysts or reagents.”
On the other hand, Dia’s side seems to know less about medicine than far away.
Well, since he’s a wizard, it seemed like he only knew how to make something like a catalyst to increase magical power at best.
Roughly, from this conversation, I knew what level the two people’s knowledge of pharmacology remained.
Both are substandard.
Maybe it’s because he’s an alchemist, but somehow he only knows dangerous medicine.
In the first place, Dia had only knowledge as an extension of magic rather than medicine.
‘What… is it? That’s because I can teach it.’
First of all, after confirming the current level of the two, I drew some lines about what to teach.
“Arel? Why are you suddenly talking about medicine?”
On the other hand, the two people who didn’t know why I was asking such a question all of a sudden seemed very puzzled.
