How to Live as an Illegal Healer Chapter 3

3. Which Healer 3

“Potion?”

What the man took out was a potion bottle filled with liquid. It was a black potion the same color as black cranberries.

“This is an antidote made from black lingonberries.”

“antidote…?”

The man shook the potion bottle lightly. A thick liquid gushed out.

“It is manufactured by extracting only the detoxifying ingredients of black lingonberry.”

A potion for patients who are unable to use their hands because the poison has spread too much. It is made with black lingonberry and medicinal herbs for ingredient extraction.

“No, if there is a way, tell me in advance that there is!”

“I was trying to talk. But I asked about the effectiveness of black lingonberry, so I’ll tell you about that first.”

“Yeah, I thought that was the only cure back then!”

Ruth was dumbfounded when she saw the potion the man took out.

‘I made a fuss because I was scared for no reason!’

relieved at the same time. there is a way to cure it.

“Anyway, if I use it, I won’t have to lie down all month, right?”

“At the earliest, two days. I recommend three days.”

“Two days?”

It would be unreasonable to cut further there. The man added that his legs would need to rest for at least a day to function properly.

“Poison is better if you use an antidote, but it doesn’t recover the physical strength weakened by the poison.”

“Mistress… You shouldn’t have gone to the priest earlier.”

From this point on, heels work. After the poisoning has been cured.

‘The problem is that I don’t have the money to call a healer.’

If you go to the Adventurer’s Guild, they will urge you to pay back the borrowed money.

“I kindly told you not to go. It’s a waste of money and time.”

The man said he was very sorry, but his face did not. No matter how you look at it, look at it. Did I warn you?’ face like this

“Still, compared to a month…”

Lying down for a whole month vs working after resting for two days.

There is nothing to worry about. Ruth said she knew and continued.

“So what now? Can I drink it?”

“no.”

“Then do you put it on? on the bridge?”

“no.”

“sure?”

“You have to cut your flesh.”

the man said calmly.

“Ah… you cut… your flesh? This leg?”

Ruth screamed in fright.

Thanks to the black lingonberry, it has subsided a lot, but that doesn’t mean there is no pain. I feel like I’m going to die of pain just by pressing it with my hand, but I have to amputate my leg?

“So I pour the medicine.”

The man replied with a face asking why did you ask such a thing.

“You cut this with a knife? this?”

“Now, do you see how sick you live here?”

“….”

“If he hadn’t received a heal, he would have just poured it into the wound.

Ruth’s ankle wound was in good condition. It was because the priest healer’s high-grade heal was poured.

“I also want to treat it without touching it as much as possible… but it’s so perfectly healed.”

“….”

“There is no way if you don’t cut it.”

Ruth was at a loss for words and kept her mouth shut. Because it was all done by myself.

“Oh, there is no way. If you don’t like cutting, you can eat black lingonberries and lie down for a month.”

“I am going to amputate my leg…”

There was no choice. In the end, Ruth surrendered with both hands and feet.

The man opened the tightly closed window.

“I said it before, but I can’t use heels. It’s not that I don’t want to write, it’s that I can’t.”

“Yes… I have heard a lot.”

“But there is no pain reliever. So it will hurt a little worse.”

“Wait a minute…”

Whoops!!

The man cut his ankle before Ruth had time to stop. A small knife cut through the flesh and opened the wound.

“Turn it off…!”

As the man said, it hurt terribly.

It hurt enough to bring tears to my eyes, but Ruth endured it. A swordsman who fights with a sword cannot make a fuss about this.

‘The swordsman has pride!’

If you make a fuss about getting a knife on your body, you won’t be able to do this job.

Ruth gritted her teeth and endured the pain.

Wow!

Black blood gushed out from the cleanly slashed skin.

Just by looking at the strange sour smell instead of the bloody smell. Black bilberry poisoning, no doubt.

“Even with ventilation, the smell is terrible.”

The man frowned as if the smell that had spread throughout the room bothered him. It was a pretty toxic smell.

‘By the way… It’s torn very neatly.’

Instead of the sour smell that filled the room, Ruth turned her attention to something else. It was his own ankle.

‘Did I use a skill?’

A neatly torn ankle with a single knife cut. To rip it cleanly like this, you need to use at least some skill.

‘Then I should feel the magic.’

To use a skill, mana is required, and when a skill is used, mana is released out of the body.

However, the man’s body did not feel any magic power.

‘If you’re a master swordsman, you’ll be able to cut like this without using skills.’

Why would someone like that work as a healer while being criticized?

It hasn’t been long since we met, but this is for sure. This man is not a prosecutor.

‘Then what the hell is it?’

Ruth looked at the man with a puzzled face.

The man paid no attention to Ruth, only caring about the cut.

“I want to draw all the blood out of my heart, but I can’t afford it…”

The man took out the antidote prepared in advance. And poured it without hesitation.

Aww!!!

As the antidote was mixed with the black blood, the mass of flesh gradually returned to its original color. The nasty, sour smell of blood had also diminished.

However, even after pouring a bottle of antidote, it did not return to its full color.

“One more bottle to go. One more bottle here.”

The man dropped three bottles of antidote to treat Ruth’s leg.

“Turn it off… turn it off!!”

Of course, Ruth was to die for. It wasn’t enough to cut the raw flesh, so I poured medicine on it.

In addition, from the moment the antidote touched the body, incomparable pain came.

‘Aren’t you really going to die?’

For this moment, I was desperate for a heel to alleviate the pain, but I said,

“Be patient or pass out.”

The healer, who didn’t know how to heal, just spit it out coldly.

“If I had been treated earlier… it wouldn’t have gotten to this point, right?”

“sure.”

“Ugh!!!”

Ruth sincerely regretted not listening to the man.

‘Come to think of it, that bastard told me about the poison in advance.

Ruth glared at the man hatefully and gritted her teeth. Either way, the man ignored Ruth and proceeded with the treatment.

-“Ugh…”

“Now, it’s over.”

The treatment, which started in the middle of the night, ended only in the early morning. Ruth, who was drooping, was able to open her eyes only then.

“I lived…”

The first thing he checked was his leg.

The burning pain was gone and the bandages were neatly wrapped. Even my skin color, which had been dark, regained its color.

‘I can’t believe I’ve recovered so neatly without using a heel.’

Ruth couldn’t believe it.

Is it possible that a leg that was serious even to the naked eye can recover to this extent in just a few hours?

‘I won’t be able to walk right now… but with this, I’ll be able to move soon.’

Ruth shouted with tears running down her nose.

“thank you! thank you!”

The man looked at Ruth, who was relieved, and added his words.

“The wound will heal quickly, but as I said before, don’t walk for two or three days.”

“yes…!”

“I told the inn, so the meal will be brought to your room.”

The man wiped the blood from his hands with a handkerchief.

When I looked around the room lightly, black blood was splattered all over the room. It is proof that poison energy remains.

“It must be hard to sleep here because of the blood…”

The man recommended moving rooms.

“You can move to an empty room.”

He told me not to worry about this and that because he will deduct the expenses from the treatment.

‘Then I’m just paying my own money to move it.’

Thinking about money reminded me of paying a large sum of money to a priest and receiving healing.

“These bastards of the Church of Ayber…. are you taking out 600,000 gold after treating them like shit? I have to go and ask…”

“Don’t waste your time.”

The man looked at Ruth and shook his head.

“If it weren’t for those bastards, my legs would be this bad…”

“I’m sure the priests have experienced that once or twice?”

Priests are very clever and vicious guys. Even if Ruth visits, the priests will say:

‘How do I know if your wounds are damaged after being healed or not?’ Called.

In the first place, Priests are Gap and Adventurers are Eul. Even if you come out shamelessly, you can’t pick it up.

“It would be a waste to lead a sick body and lose strength.”

“That’s true…”

“Of course, I’m not saying those bastards did well.”

The man smiled and said.

“If the priest had looked carefully, he would have discovered that it was a wound from a black bilberry tree.”

There’s no way he wouldn’t know that as a priest. After all, I am a person who lives in this town.

“It’s getting to this point because we only care about the outside and treat it roughly.”

lazy guys.

The man cursed for a long time, probably because he hated the priest. Ruth nodded and agreed.

“If you’re going to get paid to fix others, you have to do it right. Aren’t you?”

“Yes. damn bastards.”

“It doesn’t happen once or twice, and I’m in a position to earn thanks to those damn bastards.”

The man made money thanks to the careless treatment of the priest. I cursed a lot, but that is an unmistakable fact.

“Still, I must have lost if I hadn’t met the teacher.”

“It is not a fatal disease. It hurts enough to die.”

“Yes…. He cured me of a poison that hurts enough to die but doesn’t die.”

Ruth looked at her bandaged ankle with a wry smile.

“uh?”

The wound was recovering rapidly. It’s slow compared to Hill, but in a short time, his condition improved noticeably.

‘Wasn’t it just pouring some potions? It wouldn’t have been a health potion, but only an antidote.’

If he was wearing heels, this quick recovery would be understandable, but Ruth saw no sign of heels.

In the first place, he himself said that he did not know how to use heels. Above all, there was no feeling of consuming mana.

‘Is it possible to do something like this without wearing heels?’

At this point, amazement goes beyond admiration. Ruth looked at the mysterious self-proclaimed healer.

‘What the hell is it?’

I don’t think the answer comes out by thinking alone, but I was able to be sure of this one thing.

‘I’m not an ordinary person. This must be it.’

Ruth recalled that she did not recognize such a person and called her a fraud.

‘How much did you laugh? What would an adventurer do because he doesn’t have eyes for people like this?’

Ruth begged for forgiveness with a red face.

“I’m sorry for calling you a cheater earlier… I don’t have eyes to see…”

“I’m used to hearing that kind of thing a lot. Common sense says healers can’t use heals, but who would believe that?”

The man said with a good laugh.

Ruth was moved by the fact that a person with good abilities also has a good heart.

“…and.”

“yes?”

“How funny it is when people who say things like that come running to me and beg for my life.”

“yes?”

“It’s my hobby to watch people who were ignoring people until now get ejaculate. It works for its taste.”

Ruth’s emotion was shattered terribly. He wasn’t sure if he had a good or bad personality.

The man laughed heartily and asked Ruth her name.

“Oh, what’s your name?”

“name? Ruth… Ruth Taker.”

“All right. I’ll tell the inn.”

When the man heard Ruth’s name, he nodded and stood up.

“Soon people will come up and move rooms. Until then, have a good rest… Nothing will happen, but if there is anything, let me know.”

The man was about to leave the room, saying he was going to leave.

“Now wait… wait a minute!”

Ruth urgently called the man over.

“Then, what about your teacher’s name…?”

You have to pay off the debt later. A knife must also be received. Above all, isn’t he the benefactor who saved his life?

At Ruth’s question, the man stopped and said,

“My name is Kang Seung-hyun.”
