Doctor Player Chapter 106
Raymond thought to himself.
‘…Couldn’t it be that in the future I’ll be able to become stronger than a sword expert?’
But Raymond shook his head.
‘Anyway, it’s not important, so go see the patient.’
It was when I went to the treatment center and was focused on treating patients.
Suddenly, dark clouds swallowed the Houston kingdom army.
It was an epidemic outbreak!
“It’s a big deal, therapist! A plague has broken out!”
Raymond made a surprised face.
‘Something has come.’
In the military, epidemics were not uncommon.
This is because many people live in a densely populated environment. It was an environment prone to epidemics.
Is there a case where the number of people who die from infectious diseases is greater than the number of people who die fighting?
‘You have to catch it early! Only then can the number of patients be minimized!’
Raymond headed to the barracks where the military leaders, including Duke Rife, were located.
“Are you sure there is an epidemic?”
“All four or seven patients show the same pattern of spots on their skin.”
Viscount Rand, who acts as the head of the healers, spoke with a confident voice.
“If we don’t act right now, the number of patients will increase uncontrollably.”
“What to do?”
“It needs to be quarantined and then purged.”
Quarantine and erase!
It is to drive the sick to a remote place and burn them on fire.
The most common and sure anti-epidemic method in this era.
The faces of the military leaders became serious.
“That’s a bit…Let’s eliminate the soldiers.”
different from the common people.
If you eliminate the soldiers who share your joys and sorrows, your morale will be adversely affected right away.
In particular, the soldiers who were affected by the plague this time were not conscripts or conscripts, but the elite standing regular soldiers who occupied the core of the army.
“If it is not now, in the early stages of the outbreak, there is no chance. If the epidemic spreads further, then no capital will be available. At worst, it could have an adverse effect on the war situation.”
adverse effect on the war situation.
I’m talking about defeat.
It wasn’t a false story.
Because it wasn’t once or twice that a war that had been won by a whale was overturned because of an epidemic.
“What would you like to do, sir?”
“….”
Duke Leif kept his mouth shut.
It wasn’t an easy choice.
It was a choice that might decide the outcome of the war.
Then a voice spread through the hall.
“Can I see the patient?”
It was Raymond!
he raised his hand.
Senior healers, including Viscount Rand, showed their teeth in displeasure.
“When someone like you, who uses pseudo-smash, intervenes….”
“Ah yes. So, I solved both the plague in the capital and the plague in the south with my pseudo-soup. I wonder what noble healers did at that time?”
Healers became dumb who ate honey.
Even then, they recklessly insisted on erasure.
“Let you take a look.”
With the Duke of Leif’s permission, Raymond went to see the patient.
For reference, patients are isolated outside the barracks for fear of contagion.
Raymond checked the condition of the patients.
‘I have a bad rash on my skin. But don’t you have a fever?’
Raymond noted that the patients’ condition was not as bad as expected.
Only the rash was severe, but he was fine.
There was also something more worth noting.
‘Everybody has rashes on exposed areas such as the forehead, face, wrists, and neck. Erythematous papules and vesicles, too.’
Raymond, who had observed up to that point, had an idea.
‘for a moment. Isn’t this an epidemic?’
It was different from the usual epidemic.
‘Rather than the plague… ….’
After thinking about it, I returned to the barracks where the leaders were gathered.
As soon as he returned, a heavy voice asked him.
“Did you find out anything?”
It was the Duke of Life!
Is it because of the bad relationship with Seytil? Raymond’s heart skipped a beat every time he faced Duke Rife.
Fortunately, ‘Heart of Steel’ was activated and he was able to overcome the tension.
“I think we should think about other diseases than infectious diseases.”
“…!”
“therefore…It looks more like a normal skin disease.”
The people in the barracks made an absurd expression.
“A skin disease?”
“Are you saying that now?”
Healers, in particular, laughed openly. It was a look that said that it would be like a lowly pseudo-sober.
But Raymond was convinced.
‘This is absolutely not an epidemic. ‘That skin disease’ is obvious.’
At that time, Duke Leif asked sharply.
“Can you take responsibility for your words?”
“…!”
“The plague is a matter in which the lives of soldiers are at stake. It is an important matter that may decide whether the war is won or lost. But can you take responsibility for your words?”
Raymond swallowed.
I felt it last time too, but the sword master’s intimidation was no joke. It was difficult to open my mouth properly.
But because I’m sure of the answer.
Raymond nodded.
“Yes, this is not an epidemic.”
Raymond then gave the correct diagnosis.
“This disease is contact dermatitis. therefore…It is hypersensitivity skin disease.”
* * *
Contact dermatitis!
It was a skin disease that caused a rash on the skin from contact with a substance that caused a hypersensitivity reaction!
The contact dermatitis and the symptoms of the soldiers were the same.
Of course, healers didn’t accept it.
“Nonsense! Why does a simple skin disease appear the same in so many patients?”
“The plague is certain!”
It was a natural reaction.
You probably don’t know anything about contact dermatitis.
‘If I explain the medical knowledge about contact dermatitis, they won’t accept it.’
The best thing is to prove it.
‘Contact dermatitis is a skin disease caused by contact of the skin with a toxic substance. There must be an object that’s causing it, so I just need to figure it out.’
A quest just happened.
[Resolve the plague in the barracks!]
(Medicine Quest)
Rank: Two Mess
Difficulty: Har
Quest Description: A plague of unknown cause is prevalent in the barracks. Solve the situation with your medicine!
Clear conditions: Investigate the cause of the plague and solve
it Quest Reward: Bonus level up skill points 30 Points
Privilege: Unexpected additional merit (?)
“Please give me a little time. Not only is this disease not an infectious disease, but we will clear everything up from identifying the cause of patient treatment.”
At that confident statement, the military leaders looked at each other.
They all knew of Raymond’s past achievements.
Then Duke Leif warned.
“If I follow your advice, Baron Pennin, and things go wrong, what are you going to do? If that happens, I will hold you accountable.”
Raymond hesitated for a moment.
responsibility!
It was a heavy story.
I didn’t know what kind of severe punishment I would receive if the contagious disease hit me.
But he soon nodded.
“All right. I will obey your word.”
‘Because this is one hundred percent contact dermatitis. Let’s not worry about Jill.’
Raymond decided to believe in ‘medical knowledge’.
He decided to take advantage of the opportunity that he encountered in this situation and get what he needed.
“Instead, if I solve this problem, please give me a reward.”
“What do you want?”
“It’s command authority.”
“…!”
Raymond asked more specifically.
“Give me the authority to command 30 special personnel and 20 regular soldiers.”
Duke Leif’s eyes stood out.
“What about special personnel?”
“We want to gather low-level healers and create a ‘healing corps’ that specializes in healing.”
Now, Penin Treatment Center is going back with only the existing number of people, but it was limited due to lack of hands.
More assistants were needed.
‘That means we need a medic. Let’s recruit D-class low-level healers and teach them their attributes. 20 regular soldiers were asked to do minor chores such as cleaning, washing bedding, and arranging items.’
There was also one more great advantage to gaining command.
‘It’s like being the commander of the healers, so I’m going to be in the same level as the leader of the ‘magic corps’.’
In terms of the officer’s style, it was a position similar to that of the Cheoninjang!
‘If that happens, no one will easily ignore me.’
What are you thinking?
Duke Leif looked at Raymond gently for a moment.
The moment Raymond’s heart beats at the knife-like gaze.
“I’ll give you two days.”
Duke Leif said in a cold voice.
“Let’s settle it there.”
* * *
Afterwards, Duke Leif returned to the Command Barracks.
“Why did you entrust it to Baron Pennin? Isn’t there a risk of spreading an epidemic?”
The staff member asked as if he was curious, but Duke Leif replied as follows.
“What if I don’t let you go? Shouldn’t the soldiers who shared the joys and sorrows be burned for something that is not certain?”
“ah….”
“and.”
He recalled the look in Raymond’s eyes, Duke of Leif.
Eyes that do not back down even when frightened.
‘…Is it a will for the sake of the patient?’
Duke Leif laughed.
‘quite.’
yeah that was pretty good
“Because I was full of confidence.”
“yes?”
“It was a look full of confidence, without the slightest doubt. Then it’s worth trusting and entrusting innocent soldiers to the fire right away.”
Besides that, there was another reason.
It was for personal reasons.
‘I want to see how much ability he has.’
After the war began, Raymond endlessly attracted the attention of the Duke of Rife.
He wasn’t just outstanding as a healer.
He warmly cared for the soldiers, received overwhelming support, and even boosted their morale.
This could be said to be the quality of a commander or a leader.
Also, an incomprehensible swordsmanship talent.
Duke Leif wondered just how much power Raymond had.
* * *
‘To solve contact dermatitis, we need to find the causative agent.’
As the name of the disease suggests, it is a disease caused by ‘contact’ with toxic substances.
‘In other words, I just need to find out which toxic substance it came into contact with.’
Fortunately, it wasn’t difficult in this case.
Because they are soldiers, they are all exposed to a uniform substance.
‘It’s armor!’
All of them developed inflammation where the armor and bare skin came into contact.
‘But why did the armor cause contact dermatitis? Is that okay then suddenly?’
Raymond was puzzled.
‘Why is the toxic substance in the armor that was fine?’
And after researching, I found out one thing.
‘These are all newly supplied armors!’
New armor was supplied, and contact dermatitis occurred in 7 of them.
‘Is it a coincidence? or not?’
I felt like something cheap was missing.
“Can I help you with something, disciple?”
“Anything.”
“Try slashing this armor with your sword. It doesn’t use mana.”
Christine made a puzzled face.
Caang!
Of course, I couldn’t cut Christine’s black armor.
In the first place, the standard for proper armor is to block attacks that do not carry ‘mana’.
