Doctor Player Chapter 492 – Side Story 40
“I am Raymond, the emperor of the Crusader Empire. We have heard of your difficulties and are here to help. Rest assured that I will be with you now.”
As always, it was a voice that was sublime and full of trust.
However, the Elyos showed an unexpected reaction.
“…thank you But we have no hope. Give up and get out of here.”
“what do you mean?”
“We are already cursed by that terrible being. My whole body is weak and I can’t even control my limbs properly.”
Raymond checked the condition of the Elyos.
All of them were pale in color.
Skin so dry as if it had been dehydrated.
His hands were shaking and he seemed to have difficulty getting up from his seat.
“We do not have the strength to follow you. If the renegades return, you too will be in danger, so run quickly.”
The Elyos said in despair.
But Raymond shook his head.
‘I can’t do that.’
Without absorbing these Elyos with full power, it was virtually impossible to prevent the completion of the space movement portal.
First of all, how are you going to let this many die?
‘I won’t let go of the hukou easily!’
Those who lived here were close to half of the Elyos population.
It was good to see that if all of them died, the kingdom would in fact fall.
This was unacceptable for Raymond, who was trying to make the Holy Kingdom his money bag.
Just then, the quest came to mind.
[Save the Elyos in despair!]
(Medicine Quest)
Priority: Seven Mess
Difficulty: Good
Quest Description: The Elyos are losing their strength and are in despair due to the tricks of the evil being. Save the Elyos with your skills!
Reward: Bonus level up x 5 Skill points 1000
Bonus: Seongguk
Raymond nodded his head at the contents of the quest.
Seongguk.
I liked the perks.
‘If I save them, I’ll be able to become a hero of the Holy Kingdom.’
hero!
It was a title Raymond liked.
You’ll be able to suck on honey without having to be bothered and responsible for anything.
‘There’s still time.’
Raymond saw where the renegade Elyos had left.
They decided to lure them as far away as possible, so there was still time for the renegades to return.
“I will solve your curse.”
“How do you mean?”
“It is possible with my medical skills.”
“…!”
The Elyos made a surprised expression.
It wasn’t just a story.
‘If you look at what he’s done so far, most of them are tricks based on medical principles.’
It was like that from the beginning.
If you look far away, it’s from the Droton Kingdom.
After all, even the evil Archduke Berard of the Drowton Kingdom could be said to be one of his subordinates, and all of them used tricks that caused medical problems.
Not only at that time, but also in the Kingdom of Katal, the Kingdom of Peninsula, and the Ecliptic of the Crusader Alliance.
all the same
In other words, it was clear that he was well versed in medical knowledge as well as great strength.
‘It’s not exactly medical knowledge, but it’s probably using knowledge about the human body.’
This time, it must be a curse that causes some kind of problem in the body.
If we knew what kind of problem it caused, we could figure out a solution.
“Do a Linden Full Wrap!”
It was an overall inspection.
“yes yes!”
Linden and Christine went around and took the blood of the Elyos in the worst condition.
Raymond opened the subspace and summoned the diagnostic test machine.
A blood test showed the cause immediately.
[K: 0.5 mmol/L]
“…!”
He was in a state of severe hypokalemia.
‘What kind of potassium level is that?’
I’ve seen countless patients, but I’ve rarely seen such severe potassium levels.
‘Even if it’s less than 2, it’s serious. less than 0.5. Is it possible to be alive even after this?’
Being a physically powerful Elyos, he seemed to be barely holding on.
Anyway, now that I know the cause, the solution is simple.
“Sir Lyndon Christine! Please replenish your potassium!”
“Your Majesty!”
If hypokalemia is a problem, you can supplement with potassium.
Raymond summoned an electrolyte replenishment sap through subspace magic.
‘I can’t treat all patients because I don’t have time. I have to treat the strong first.’
There was no need to treat all of the Elyos right away.
If he recovers enough power to fight against the soon-to-be renegade Elyos, he should be able to breathe.
‘Fortunately, the problem caused by the lack of electrolytes can be quickly resolved by supplementation.’
It’s okay if you don’t restore it to normal.
Even if the numbers increased to a certain extent, the condition of the Elyos would be much better.
Raymond and Lyndon Christine roamed around, injecting the Elyos with electrolyte replenishment fluids.
Thanks to our haste, we were able to replenish fluids for dozens of people.
But something strange happened.
The symptoms did not improve at all even when the fluid was administered.
Raymond hurriedly ran another blood test.
[K: 0.6 mmol/L]
Almost no improvement.
‘I replenished with sap, but why?’
Raymond knew the answer intuitively.
‘Potassium is being discharged from the body!’
In this case, there was only one organ that would have had problems.
‘There was a problem with the electrolyte regulation channel in the kidneys. Which channel is the problem?’
There are several diseases that cause problems with the kidney’s electrolyte channels.
Raymond recalled the other test figures accompanying the Elyos and soon came up with a diagnosis.
‘It’s Bartter’s syndrome.’
It was a disease that caused hypokalemia and dehydration due to a problem with the NKCC channel among electrolyte channels in the kidney.
‘It must have caused problems in the NKCC channel of the kidneys of these Elyos by using his authority.’
It seems that a combination of biometric knowledge and the powers of chaos caused this phenomenon.
‘What do we do? If this is the case, it cannot be cured in a short period of time.’
Raymond made a troubled face.
If it was Batters syndrome, there was a treatment.
You can use a drug that promotes the kidney’s ability to absorb potassium. Since it was a relatively common drug, it had already been developed.
‘You can bring medicine by subspace summoning. The problem is time.’
It took time for the drug to take effect.
And now, in the case of the Elyos, it was because of a curse rather than an actual disease, so it was questionable how effective the medicine would be.
‘In the worst case, there may be no medicinal effect at all.’
What is certain is that it is impossible to restore the renegade Elyos until they return.
“How are you, Your Majesty?”
King Seong asked with a worried expression, probably feeling Raymond’s unusual atmosphere.
“….”
When Raymond couldn’t answer, a heavy silence fell in the room.
At that time, the disciples who were watching Raymond said.
“Your Majesty, I don’t think there will be any more time.”
“It’s time for the renegade Elyos who left the chase to return soon.”
Raymond bit his lip hard.
‘What the hell?’
The operation to save the Elyos was practically a failure.
A few of them may be able to be helped and taken away, but most of them here will not be able to be saved.
‘There is no way to break the curse. We have to hide before it’s too late.’
Relatively, the renegade Elyos who left the pursuit were far more elite than those who remained here.
Also, the numbers are incomparable.
Even Raymond and his party could not be assured of safety if they encountered them.
‘Let’s run away. This can’t be helped.’
He was about to make that decision, but Raymond hesitated.
It was because he saw the desperate faces of hundreds of Elyos.
Even though I knew there was no way, I couldn’t stop walking.
‘Is there really no way? at all?’
While thinking about it, Myen, who had gone out to reconnaissance, shouted.
[The renegade Elyos are returning!]
“…!”
The group looked at Raymond.
It was the look in his eyes telling him to leave.
‘damn.’
As I was about to make a decision, King Seong told me an unexpected story.
“Your Majesty is not okay. Please leave.”
“The Holy King?”
“I know you are willing to risk death for the sake of us Elyos.”
“….”
Raymond kept his mouth shut.
‘No, not so much… ….’
King Seong smiled benevolently at Raymond as if he knew everything.
“No matter how embarrassing your Majesty is, it is impossible to save us Elyos in this situation. it’s okay. I, the king, will protect these, so please, Your Majesty, plan the future.”
keep
It was a story that King Seong had lost all his powers, so he would die as a king along with his people.
“still…It was a short meeting, but I sincerely admired His Majesty’s light. thanked.”
Why?
Hearing the same greeting as the will, Raymond’s heart suddenly jumped up.
‘You’re going to die if you haven’t earned me a penny yet? I will never let go of the hukou in my hand! there must be some way Remember!’
Raymond opened a market.
I was wondering if there was a skill that would help in this situation.
‘alchemy? no. I do not have time. Magic? It’ll work faster, but it’s too much to use on this many people.’
When Raymond didn’t intend to move on, the group shouted again.
“your majesty! We must leave!”
“The renegade Elyos are getting closer!”
Beyond the sky, I could see the renegade Elyos approaching.
It will arrive sooner or later. Then it was over.
I had to leave now to escape.
‘little bit more. 10 seconds.’
It was when he was desperately searching for market skills.
One category caught my eye.
[Ruler of Chaos]
‘What is this? When did it happen?’
It was a category that did not exist until recently.
When I selected it, this explanation came to mind.
[As your rank as the Ruler of Chaos has risen, you can acquire special ‘Power Skills’ as a skill!] [Please
select the ‘Power Skill’ you want!]
Seeing the list of skills, Raymond was fed up.
The Night of Hell, the Dark Nightmare, the Whispers of Greed, and so on.
They were skills that looked menacing even at a glance, befitting a ruler of chaos.
‘Why do I need this skill! I’m not the real ruler of chaos.’
The moment he tried to get out of the category, Raymond was startled.
One skill caught his attention.
