157. Seeing what you’re doing,
“Isn’t this the cure?”
“Strictly speaking, it is not an antidote. I was going to tell you in advance, but I forgot.”
“You impostor! Did you trick me!”
closely!
Harvey grabbed Seunghyun Kang by the collar with trembling hands. But it didn’t mean anything because I had no strength in my hands.
“Shut up and listen.”
Pak!
Kang Seung-Hyun lightly shook Harvey’s weak wrist that was holding him by the collar.
“I play with patients’ lives, but I don’t cheat.”
‘Are you kidding me…’
Harvey wanted to argue further, but he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, fearing that he would treat him for hurting his feelings.
‘For now, let’s wait until the body gets better.’
After all, his life is in Kang Seung-hyun’s hands.
‘Just wait for the treatment to end! I’ll make you a clay pot!’
said Harvey, suppressing his anger.
“I’m sorry! I apologize if I offended you. I had no bad intentions! I’m just a little sensitive because I’m not feeling well…”
“It’s enough to know.”
‘That bastard!’
“The reason I didn’t make an antidote.”
Seunghyun Kang said as he tidied up his crumpled shirt.
“Because I can’t find ingredients for the antidote for Lecacothecin around here.”
One of the substances essential to lecacothecin antidote, ‘lavatein’, can only be obtained in coastal areas.
Of course, in the Red Forest, which is far from the sea, he can never be saved.
“If there is no material for the usual antidote, isn’t it made by substituting it with a similar substance?”
“Other antidotes can be substituted with similar ingredients, but lecacothecin cannot. It’s a top-notch synthetic poison made by mixing several types of poison.”
Detoxification skills are still difficult to obtain, but among them Lecacothecin boasted the highest level of difficulty.
It’s not easy to make an antidote.
“In addition, the antidote for lecacothecin takes more than 10 hours just to prepare the ingredients.”
“What?”
So, even if you were lucky enough to get the ingredients, Harvey, who has only 7 hours left to live, is said to be unable to eat in the first place.
“So treatment with an antidote is impossible, since no one has the detoxification skill, that is also impossible.”
There is only one treatment left.
It’s just to hold on until the poison that spreads in the body is discharged outside.
“Even though lecacothecin is a deadly poison, poison is poison, so it is excreted out of the body over time.”
The problem is the nature of Lecacothecin.
Once symptoms appear, the lungs and respiratory system are destroyed at a rapid rate, so most patients cannot survive until the poison is expelled from the body and die from respiratory failure.
“Then there is no answer… Cough Cough!”
Harvey coughed violently and began coughing up blood.
‘It’s so hard to breathe… Turn off!’
As if her condition was rapidly deteriorating, she now felt a strong pain in her chest whenever she coughed.
“That’s why I changed my mindset.”
“Changing the idea of a bar?”
The most common cause of death in patients with lecacothecin poisoning is asphyxiation. There are no other complications, just death from not being able to breathe.
“In other words, if only suffocation can be prevented, it means that the patient can endure until the poison is expelled from the body.”
Seunghyun Kang smiled lightly and took out a vial from Harvey’s pocket.
“Treatment of lecacothecin is difficult.”
When I opened the lid, a small needle appeared.
“Preventing suffocation is quite doable.”
hooked!
Kang Seung-hyeon inserted a needle into Harvey’s throat and administered the drug.
“Heh heh…”
As the drug was pumped through his veins, Harvey’s coughing quieted down and at the same time the pain in his chest disappeared.
“I can breathe more easily… my heart doesn’t hurt.”
“It’s all thanks to this guy.”
The medicine Kang Seung-hyun used was [Rustain Potion], which has a respiratory protection and stabilizing effect. Prevent damage to the respiratory tract.
“As I said before, lecacothecin is not a treatment. This is a potion usually used to treat airway burn patients. Of course, I don’t even have the ability to decipher.”
So, while using this does not remove the poison spread in the body, it can prevent respiratory damage caused by lecacothecin.
“It is the only hope for lecacothecin poisoning patients who have not been able to find an antidote.”
Thanks to this simple change of thinking, the survival rate of lecacothecin poisoning patients is said to have increased significantly.
“Well… if there’s a downside, it’s quite difficult to make the Rustein potion, but it’s much easier than the lecacothecin antidote, and all the ingredients can be found in the Red Forest.”
As a result, Kang Seung-hyun was able to prepare the Rustein potion in just three hours.
Of course, I didn’t get it myself, but Kim Ho-jung and Rebecca did.
“Then am I okay now?”
“It should be fine now.”
Hearing Seunghyun Kang’s answer, Harvey smiled.
‘I have nothing to do with you now, child! I’ll keep pampering the adventurers from now on!’
In the first place, he had no intention of keeping his promise.
I was thinking of just taking the medicine.
“Because the medicinal effect is still there.”
“About… effective?”
“You really thought it would end with just one pill?”
Kang Seung-hyun laughed at Harvey and took out three or four Rustane potions.
“There is no problem with one bottle. How poisonous is lecacothecin. As soon as the effect wears off, you will vomit blood.”
“Does that mean you have to take your medicine every day until you feel better?”
“Not every day, but every three hours.”
“3 3 hours?”
Lecacothecin is so toxic that Rustein Potion lasts only 3 hours.
“It must be administered without missing a single dose until the poison that has spread throughout the body is completely discharged.”
“Then give me the rest of the medicine as well…”
Harvey held out his hand with a servile face.
However, Kang Seung-hyeon put the vial in his inventory as if showing off.
“I saw you doing it.”
“what?”
“You must keep the promise you made earlier. Release the adventurers who are working, pay them for their work, and return the horse golem rental price to normal.”
Seunghyun Kang said with a smile.
He knew Harvey’s heart right from the start.
‘Where are you going to scam?’
As I always say, people do not change easily.
If the medicine was given in advance, he would break the promise, so Kang Seung-hyeon decided to play with Harvey while using the medicine as a hostage.
“And if you get down on your knees and beg me for medicine like you did today, I’ll give you one.”
“You look at me now and pray every day?”
“Not every day, but every three hours.”
“You wicked bastard!”
Harvey burst into anger, but Kang Seung-hyun only smiled with a very refreshing face.
“If you don’t like it, don’t. I have no regrets.”
“…Ah okay! You can do as you say!”
In this way, Harvey Sarvan was paid back for all the sins he had committed.
-“It was just great! Healer Kang Seung-hyun is the first person who has subdued the elder Harvey to such an extent!”
When I finished my conversation with Harvey, Rebecca came over with a very excited face.
Kang Seung-hyun seems happy that he trampled on Harvey.
“I’m sorry to say this to a sick person… but I sued a lot.”
‘This friend seems to have accumulated a lot of things too.’
Kang Seung-hyun was about to answer with a smile.
“Healer Kang Seung-hyun.”
Ziggs approached and greeted him politely.
“Thank you for saving Master.”
“you’re welcome.”
Although he is a human who cannot be distinguished from trash, Harvey Sarvan is the real power of the Tracotti doll workshop.
If he had died, there would have been a great uproar in the doll studio.
“Master… paid for all the medical expenses, but apart from that, I’ll reserve the best horse golem carriage in our workshop.”
“thank you.”
“Did we rent a carriage then?”
Hojeong Kim shouted with great joy.
Now, Kang Seung-hyun and his party can leave Tracotti at any time if they want to.
“But I can’t leave right now. There are still things to investigate in Tracotti.”
“That’s right.”
In the first place, the horse golem was an excuse to enter the doll workshop, and Kang Seung-hyun and his party’s real purpose was to investigate the inside of the doll workshop.
‘According to the information obtained so far, the identity of the Wismel Church is the puppeteers.’
If you investigate their hideout, you will undoubtedly get clues about Wismel.
‘Originally, they wouldn’t have let me in, let alone investigate, but it’s different now.’
Some things happened along the way, but Kang Seung-hyun is Harvey Sarvan’s lifesaver anyway.
Even if he openly said he would investigate the hideout, he would never be able to refuse.
“Ziggs, are you going back to the doll studio now?”
“yes. It is meant to be.”
“Then we will come tomorrow.”
“What what?”
Harvey, who was lying on the floor, jumped up and shouted.
“Isn’t there nothing to do with my workshop now?”
“The building is nice, so I want to do some sightseeing.”
Seunghyun Kang took out a bottle of medicine from his inventory and threw it.
Ting!
“I’ll replace the entrance fee with this.”
“…great.”
Harvey nodded as he took the vial with a humiliated face.
-“I have to finish today’s schedule with this.”
“It is quite late.”
After the doll studio and the others went back, Kang Seung-hyun and the others went back to their dorms.
“Before going to bed, let’s organize the information we learned today.”
“Have you got any information?”
“There are two things that concern me.”
Kang Seung-hyun sat down on the bed and opened his notebook.
“First of all, it’s a tracotti doll workshop.”
“Why is the workshop?”
“It’s empty, like it’s about to go bankrupt. According to Rebecca, it was originally full of people, so something must have happened.”
There’s no way that the puppeteers who used to work well would kick the workshop for no reason.
“Isn’t it because the personality of the owner is too dirty? Even if it’s like me, I’ll hit you.”
“Even so, old Harvey’s personality must have always been dirty, so there must be something special about it.”
“A special occasion?”
“I’ll have to investigate what it is.”
Considering the recent situation of Tracotti, it seems to be related to ‘Wizmel’.
“Um… then what’s the second?”
“The second is a minor one, Rebecca’s attitude.”
“Why Rebecca?”
“It seemed to have something to do with the doll workshop.”
From the moment Rebecca entered the doll studio, she tried to hide her identity by wearing a hood.
That means there is a person in the workshop whose face should never be shown.
“In addition, Rebecca seems to have some ill feelings toward old Harvey.”
“Isn’t it strange that Tracotti doesn’t have any ill feelings toward Harvey?”
“It does.”
“Oh, maybe Harvey is Rebecca’s dad? Or that Ziggs is Rebecca’s brother.”
“I think Rebecca belonged to a doll studio.”
Kang Seung-hyun recalled the time he investigated the masked member.
-I wondered why they cursed such precious soil as a material.
– What kind of soil is this?
-It’s the highest grade soil used only when making precious dolls in Tracotti.
At that time, Rebecca was the only person who noticed that the clay was used to make dolls.
“that’s right. Didn’t the other Tracotti people notice at all? Are you really a puppeteer?”
“I’ll have to ask for more details tomorrow.”
