Doctor Player Chapter 292
The video magnified a thousand times was full of small bug-like creatures.
‘It’s plankton.’
Raymond said the creature’s name to himself.
‘The enormous reproduction of plankton. As expected, the red tide was right!’
red tide phenomenon.
That was the identity of the mysterious phenomenon that appeared in the river!
‘If you combine alchemy and magic properly, it’s possible to cause a red tide phenomenon.’
The cause of the red tide phenomenon was an explosive increase in microbes by increasing the organic matter in the river, so alchemy and magic could be used accordingly.
In particular, the Jord River was a relatively small river, so it was possible artificially.
‘When the red tide phenomenon occurs, the river is seriously polluted, and all kinds of water-borne infectious diseases can occur. Cholera is possible.’
“Please explore the area around Laina Nim River. There must be some guys who have been playing tricks upstream.”
Although it is not a large river, it is not an ordinary trick to cause a red tide phenomenon.
There must be another party other than the ‘astronomer’ who carried out the task. I had to catch them.
‘Because he would have worked with an enormous amount of organic material and magic, he could have even prepared a secret base.’
Rina nodded.
“Ah, as expected, Your Highness. Admirable. How can you be so wonderful every time, just looking at Her Highness Rina… …Ho Ho. Leave it to me anyway.”
Raina sent a sticky gaze and disappeared.
Raymond broke out in a cold sweat as his obsession seemed to grow thicker and thicker.
It looked like he wanted to kidnap her after this job was over.
The disciples showed a bad reaction when they saw such a Raina.
“…To see Master so disrespectfully. As a disciple, I feel bad.”
“I am of the same opinion.”
It was Christine Jude’s words, and
Hanson Elmoud Mien was also offended.
‘The master’s light is so brilliant that strange people get entangled. Indeed, the master’s brilliance is just as enchanting as the devil’s castle.’
‘My lord, I will fight that wicked witch!’
‘Garleung. Meow! Meow!’
Reina, an arc mage with such a high reputation, became a ‘strange’, ‘strange’ and ‘bad’ witch among the party because she was greedy for Raymond.
Raymond also made an awkward face.
‘Isn’t this the two of us fighting when the Duke of Life comes?’
Raymond broke out in a cold sweat.
In fact, I recently received a call from Duke Raif. He heard about what Raymond had done in the Catal Kingdom and contacted him.
– You’re doing such a dangerous thing.
Duke Leif reprimanded Raymond with a stiff face.
– Don’t forget. The disciple of this Life. Your body is not just yours.
Then, Duke Leif sent a terrifyingly burning gaze.
Raymond broke out in a cold sweat.
His eyes were so terrifying that anyone who saw them could mistake Raymond’s body for ownership!
Even Duke Leif said he would find some time soon.
It was said that the situation in the Catal Kingdom was unstable and that Elmud alone could not be reassured.
‘…do you really want to come Since you are such a busy person, it seems difficult to lose weight easily. Anyway, if I come, I won’t be fighting Laina-sama, right?’
Raymond cleared his throat.
With that obsessive Life and Rina, there was a good chance of fighting!
‘…Since they are grown adults, the two of them will take care of themselves.’
Anyway, that’s for later.
Raymond said.
“I will take action.”
Now that the diagnosis came out, the next solution was clear.
“For now, please ban the people of the capital from drinking the river water. Then the spread of the disease will also subside.”
“Yes, got it!”
Jude moved quickly.
He mobilized soldiers and issued a decree.
“Shouldn’t you drink water?”
“Raymond, that’s what he said. Let us follow you immediately!”
Although there was some disturbance, the people of the capital faithfully obeyed the order. It was largely thanks to Raymond’s charisma in the square.
In the meantime, Raymond and his disciples treated patients.
‘If it’s cholere, it will get better with fluid treatment.’
As you can see from the curse of death, cholera can be cured in most cases with proper treatment.
But after a while, Raymond realized something was wrong.
patients died.
Even with proper sap treatment, he could not stand it and died.
‘what?’
Raymond felt cheap.
Originally, cholera naturally recovers over time. In the meantime, I will be treated with fluids to recover from dehydration.
However, these patients did not improve at all.
Rather, as time passed, he developed more intense diarrhea, and eventually died because he could not withstand the acid-base imbalance.
And that wasn’t the only problem.
– It’s a big deal, sir!
It was Mian!
He looked around the capital in the form of a cat and seemed to be in a hurry.
-Patients are increasing rapidly!
“…!”
Raymond’s face hardened.
Something was going wrong.
* * *
‘Is it not cholera?’
Raymond bit his lip hard.
However, the river is polluted by the red tide phenomenon.
and prodigious amounts of diarrhea causing severe dehydration leading to death.
Cholera was the most fitting.
If not, it was highly likely to be a waterborne infectious disease of a similar kind.
‘But why didn’t I drink the water?’
After checking, most of the new patients did not drink river water.
‘Even if it’s not cholera, if it’s a water-borne disease, if you don’t drink water, there shouldn’t be any additional cases?’
It was not explained.
I checked again, but the patients had never really drank river water.
Moreover, the situation got worse.
In an instant, the number of patients began to increase!
The number of patients who were only a few dozen increased exponentially to more than a hundred.
The capital turned upside down.
“What happened?”
“Why do the number of patients keep increasing?”
“Isn’t it really God’s wrath?”
That sound started leaking out.
Fortunately, however, it has not yet escalated into a panic.
It was thanks to Raymond.
[The effect of the hidden effect savior is manifested!]
[People strongly believe in you!]
“Wait still. The former founder of the country is here!”
“that’s right. Raymond-sama will solve it!”
People tried so hard to soothe their anxious hearts.
But not everyone was like that.
Vermont, in particular, did not miss this opportunity.
“What are you going to do, Your Highness? How many people must be sacrificed to break stubbornness?”
The Astronomer from the side opened his mouth terrifyingly.
“If you look at the movement of the stars, a more terrible disaster is coming. If you don’t give up greed and back down, many people will die. Keep that in mind.”
Vermont spoke like an ultimatum.
“Three days until the coronation. Make decisions for your people in it. Otherwise, Heaven’s wrath will cause irreparable damage to the Catal Kingdom.”
Jude and Raymond’s faces hardened.
‘3 days.’
Raymond looked at the patients in the clinic.
Even now, people were dying in real time.
‘You have to solve it before that. Even for the sake of the patients.’
Raymond clenched his fists as he watched a patient gasping for breath from a severe acid-base imbalance.
‘I will never forgive you.’
Both the Vermont guy responsible for this and that damn guy.
They will all be judged properly.
* * *
But things didn’t go as planned.
No amount of analysis could find the cause.
‘what? What am I missing?’
Raymond bit his lip hard.
‘This is not cholera. It’s another disease with similar symptoms to cholera.’
Raymond concluded so.
But still it was not explained.
‘Even if it’s not cholera, it’s probably a waterborne contagious disease. Why does it happen to patients who don’t drink the river water?’
That was the biggest mystery.
Then a message popped up.
[In response to medical difficulties, the ‘medical challenger’ attribute is manifested!]
[Currently, the probability that the contagious disease is a ‘water-borne contagious disease’ is ‘very’ high!]
Raymond let out a blank laugh.
‘Another unhelpful advice… ….’
But at that moment.
Raymond hesitated.
He described it as ‘very’.
Conversely, there is a small possibility that it is not a waterborne infectious disease, but there is.
‘I was too preoccupied with the red tide phenomenon.’
Raymond swallowed.
Waterborne infections cause inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, causing diarrhea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
However, not all gastrointestinal inflammation is caused by water.
‘Maybe the red tide phenomenon is a gimmick? To hide the real cause.’
Raymond swallowed.
There was no reason.
But now was the time to rethink everything from scratch.
‘Forget the red tide phenomenon. There may be another real cause.’
I had to do an epidemiological study to find out.
Raymond opened the map.
Then, the areas where the patients had been diagnosed were checked individually on a map.
‘There is no particular regional commonality.’
The only thing in common is that all of the affected patients are from the poor working class.
There was not a single patient among the nobles.
Even among the affluent commoners, the number of patients with the disease was small.
‘The poor often drink river water. The wealthy drink the water supplied separately through the water canal. So at first, I thought the red tide was the cause.’
It wasn’t.
I had to find something else in common.
‘A residential environment? no. Even commoners living in relatively clean neighborhoods have cases of the disease. What else do they have in common?’
Raymond was deeply concerned.
It is absent from the aristocratic class, mostly among the poor, and rare among the wealthy commoners.
I had to figure out what it was.
Then Christine came in.
“master.”
“Ah disciple.”
Christine let out a low sigh and said something unexpected.
“Get some rest.”
“yes? it’s okay.”
What do you mean out of nowhere?
What do you mean when the situation is like this?
But Christine seemed frustrated.
“You haven’t slept for days.”
“…!”
“You look like you’re going to die right now.”
Raymond looked in the mirror with a surprised face.
It was a very corpse-like face.
‘Damn tireless monster skill. Isn’t this really sudden death?’
The more tired you are, the more you work.
‘Ugh, but I can’t rest now. I have to figure out the answer somehow.’
The moment you bite your lip.
Christine sighed again.
It was a sigh of giving up.
“Even if you dry it, you won’t listen. Master will ask you to bring your favorite beef, so please eat it and cheer up.”
“Yes thank you…beef?”
Raymond widened his eyes.
A thought flashed through my head.
“beef!”
“…yes? yes?”
