Doctor Player Chapter 129
Ristein The royal family really killed and killed each other endlessly, and they could hardly join forces because they were fighting each other endlessly.
Even now, it was divided into the King, the Grand Duke, the Princess, and the Aristocrats, and they were fighting for power.
‘The Marquis of Langham said he was a royal faction. Then, is Prince Rashid, the commander-in-chief of the reinforcements, also a royal faction?’
“I am Baron Pennin of Houston Kingdom. It is an honor to see His Highness Prince Rashid of the great Ristein royal family.”
“What an honor. I am even more honored. I am happy to see the light of the famous Houston Kingdom army on the battlefield.”
Prince Rashid smiled warmly.
“Anyway, things don’t look good. The story was told through the communication crystal ball. You want me to transport the soldiers and the people of Drowton to the rear?”
“Yes, please.”
However, Prince Rashid gave an unexpected answer.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think it will be possible to do that request.”
“…!”
Prince Rashid hurriedly explained.
“There are circumstances. A terrible plague is now circulating on the fleet. That’s why it’s hard for me to do a favor.”
Everyone’s faces became serious.
is it an epidemic?
“What epidemic is going on?”
“It’s an epidemic called ‘Big Sea Sailor’s Disease’. In other words, it is also called ‘The Curse of the Great Sea’.”
Prince Rashid said with a puzzled face.
“It is an infectious disease that usually circulates in long-distance fleets sailing to distant continents, but for some reason it also circulates during wars like this. It’s a big deal.”
Raymond felt perplexed.
‘What should I do?’
Then the quest came to mind.
[Eradicate the Big Sea Sailor’s Disease!]
(Medicine Quest)
Medicine Grade: Two and a Half Mess
Difficulty: Har
Quest Description: Great Sea Sailor’s Disease is a disease that has been sacrificing sailors for a long time. Eradicate disease for poor sailors!
Clear condition: Big sea sailor disease eradication
Reward: Bonus level up skill points 50 points
Perk: Salty extra income (?)
‘Eradication? Not a cure?’
Raymond paid attention to the word ‘eradicate’, which was different from his usual quests.
‘To eradicate the disease itself, not simply treat the contagious disease? in this place? Moreover, the difficulty level is also ‘low’, right? what? Is it easy?’
Anyway, Raymond decided to step out himself.
Even if it wasn’t a quest, it was a situation that had to be resolved in order to use the ship.
“How are the patients’ symptoms?”
“I complained of fatigue and lethargy, and bruise-like spots appeared on my skin. In severe cases, there is bleeding.”
Raymond thought.
‘What kind of plague is it? Distant voyage Fatigue Bleeding… ….’
For a moment, a disease passed through Raymond’s mind.
‘no way?’
“Prince, by any chance, when was the last time the fleet anchored in the port?”
“Four months ago. Ever since I left the Peninsula Kingdom, I’ve been floating on the sea watching the ships of the Drowtons.”
Raymond stuck out his tongue.
Four months floating in the sea. It was unimaginable in other kingdoms. It was possible because it was the Peninsula Kingdom with overwhelming navigation skills.
‘Isn’t it the spirit of the Peninsula Navy that they don’t set foot on shore until they sink all the enemy ships?’
Raymond thought.
‘But rather, that’s what caused this disease.’
“Then how about meals?”
“We solved it with dried stockpiled food prepared in advance. We did receive supplies from transport ships from time to time.”
“Did most of your supplies consist of dried food?”
“I guess so. There was some fresh food, but it was not enough to supply all the crew, so only a few people were rationed.”
Raymond’s eyes deepened.
It seems that his guess is correct.
One last question to confirm.
“Aren’t most of the patients ordinary sailors? The officers are all fine.”
“Yes, it is. No knights, officers, or high-class sailors got sick.”
Prince Rashid replied as if asking how he knew, and Raymond was sure of the answer.
‘This must be the disease!’
A terrible disease that claimed the lives of countless sailors on modern Earth.
However, it is a disease that can be eradicated absurdly easily if you know the identity.
Raymond opened his mouth.
“Do not worry. I will solve this epidemic.”
“…!”
Prince Rashid opened his eyes wide.
“Is it really? A cure for Great Sea Sailor’s Disease?”
How Terrible Is the Big Sea Sailor’s Disease?
It is a terrible disease that has plagued maritime nations for over hundreds of years.
Rarely does it occur when sailing on the ‘inner continent’, i.e. the Leifentai or the continental coast.
However, it happens without fail when entering the ‘Sea of Chaos’ heading to the ‘Outer Continent’.
It was common to lose more than half of the crew.
That’s why some people call this disease ‘the curse of the great sea’. It is a curse that the sea rages against the humans who dare to challenge the great sea.
Can you cure such a terrible disease?
He looked at me in disbelief, but Raymond said confidently.
“Yes, it can be cured.”
“…!”
Realizing that Raymond was telling the truth, Prince Rashid looked horrified.
‘Nonsense! Isn’t that a lie?’
Prince Rashid swallowed.
How many people of the Peninsula Kingdom died because of the great sea sailor’s disease? No matter what level of heal he used, he was just dying helplessly.
But what if there is a solution?
From the perspective of the Peninsula Kingdom, it was like a revolution.
But at that time, a healer from the Peninsula Kingdom next to him gave him a scolding.
He was a powerful double-A healer and looked down on Raymond a lot.
“Don’t listen to me, Prince. He is the one who uses the strange magic called medicine. Our healers will do their best to treat patients… ….”
After that, others chimed in.
“Your Highness, don’t take the Huston Kingdom’s bluff seriously.”
“There is no cure for Great Sea Sailor’s Disease, the curse of the sea.”
He wasn’t the only one. officers, knights, wizards, etc.
Everyone laughed.
‘Something from Houston Kingdom.’
Everyone had such eyes.
It is one of the most powerful countries in the Crusader Empire, so it has a heart that looks down on the relatively weak Houston Kingdom.
It was the moment when the disciples and Elmud were about to get angry at the reaction of the Peninsulars.
“wait for a sec. I will solve it.”
Raymond stopped them and crossed their arms.
‘hmm. Even if I begged him to teach me, I wouldn’t be happy, so I don’t want to treat him for free, right?’
Originally, Raymond intended to solve the ‘Big Sea Sailor’s Disease’ without any special conditions.
The solution was so simple that I didn’t think I had to accept something.
But this changed my mind.
‘They say that the most greedy people in the world are the people of the Peninsula Kingdom. Let’s eat a little like that Peninsula Kingdom.’
“Then why don’t you guys make a bet with me?”
Raymond pointed to the gangsters who once laughed at him.
“If I solve ‘The Big Sea Sailor’s Disease’, each of you pay me 100,000 pennies.”
“…!”
“If I can’t heal, I will give you all my possessions. How is it?”
The men who had ridiculed Raymond hardened their faces.
100,000 pennies!
It was a huge amount.
Even though they were wealthy as high-ranking officers, knights, and wizards, it was a difficult amount to raise even with all their wealth.
Among them, only the double-A healers who could afford 100,000 pence were the ones who swept the money away from patient care.
As they hesitated, Raymond laughed.
“If you don’t have confidence, you can’t do it. The fearless people of the Peninsula Kingdom were so cowardly. I just found out about it today.”
“…!”
Their faces hardened at Raymond’s provocation.
“Good! Be prepared to pay all your fortune if the baron fails to cure you!”
For reference, Raymond’s entire fortune is now negative, so even if he loses the bet, he has nothing to lose.
‘I can’t lose anyway, so it doesn’t matter.’
This time I looked at Prince Rashid.
“I know that the big sea sailor’s disease is a disease that has plagued returning home for a long time. If I solve it, what reward will you give me?”
Before Rashid could answer, Raymond said what he wanted first.
“Please make sure that the price of herbs and samples supplied to our treatment center from the Peninsula Kingdom is less than 30% of what it is now.”
“…!”
Rashid made a troubled face.
“It is the domain of merchants….”
“It seems possible.”
Raymond said straight up.
“Because it’s the merchants back home who want to solve the big sea sailor’s disease more than anyone else.”
“…!”
“Your Highness doesn’t think this is a loss either. It will be an opportunity to strengthen your influence with merchants.”
Prince Rashid swallowed his saliva.
Everything Raymond said was right.
‘They say it’s the light of the Houston Kingdom. You’re so wise.’
Prince Rashid had heard of all that Raymond had done on the battlefield.
The protagonist of all victories in the Houston Kingdom Army.
Truly light!
That was the rumor I had heard about Raymond.
But to be honest, I thought it was half exaggerated.
This is because it was too enormous a feat for one individual to do.
However, seeing him face to face like this made me realize that the rumors were not false.
Even Prince Rashid felt Raymond’s straight gaze like this.
Aren’t you confident in persuading merchants even though you have a great card to solve the big sea sailor’s disease?
“All right. I will take responsibility and try to lower the price of herbs and samples to less than 30%.”
At that confirmation, Raymond laughed inwardly.
‘Good! Let’s cut costs!’
Although the cost was reduced once by asking the Marquis of Langham, the cost of herbs and samples was still high.
Now that the price has been lowered to below 30%, the burden has been relieved.
‘The 500,000 pennies you get from those nasty bastards is a bonus. I’ll use it well to pay off the debt.’
Then Prince Rashid spoke in a firm voice.
“Everything you just said is possible when the Big Seaman’s Disease can be solved. Is there really a solution?”
“of course.”
Raymond nodded and whispered to Prince Rashid.
It’s better to keep it a secret for now in order to use it as a negotiating hand with the merchants later.
‘It’s a very simple cure, so it’ll spread quickly anyway.’
“You can eat the fruit.”
“…what?”
Prince Rashid made a puzzled expression.
What are you kidding me about now?
It was such a face, but I didn’t care and continued talking.
“I especially like tart fruits like lemons and oranges. For now, you have to keep it a secret, so try mixing it with other foods.”
“….”
“Pretend to be deceived and do it now. If it doesn’t work, I’ll give you my entire fortune.”
‘Considering the identity of the Big Sea Sailor, there’s no way it won’t work.’
Raymond thought to himself.
