#631. Will it work somehow?

[Release of Quetzalcoatl’s new drug.]
A little unexpectedly.
The rumor did not spread well.
Originally, medicine is necessary only when it hurts.
Cancer patients are only interested in cancer treatments, and anorexia patients are not interested in diet pills.
This is because few people would be interested in a new drug that has no effect.
All the more because in Quetzalcoatl they didn’t even use the media, let alone advertise.
“It’s Quetzalcoatl’s new medicine… Seeing that it’s coming out around this time, is it a medicine to keep the potion in check?”
“No matter how much Quetzalcoatl is, it’s impossible to make a medicine to replace that potion.”
Still, knowing information spreads.
Among the outsiders, it was the brokerage officials who paid the most attention to Quetzalcoatl’s new drug.
London Panic.
Russian Revolution.
African wars, etc.
They, who have been through the jagged stock market due to all the recent events, did not spill any information, no matter how trivial.
After the potion appeared.
In the midst of feeling sensitive to the decline of stocks related to Quetzalcoatl.
The release of the new drug made them gladiators in the arena.
“It’s nothing special to say it’s a new drug.”
“In the end, Quetzalcoatl will lose all of its medical business to the Saint Guild and step down!”
“Exclude all medical stocks! Now is the time to buy stocks related to the World Federation.”
In the end, the World Federation wins.
This is just the madness of the green dragon clan.
There was no doubt that everyone in the stock market in each country believed it.
No matter how excellent the green dragon clan’s pharmaceutical technology is, that technology is hundreds of years old.
It was common knowledge that it was absolutely impossible to surpass the potion created by the Holy Lord, ruler of the Iron Age.
That’s why they poured billions of dollars into Quetzalcoatl’s downfall.
Laughing at the gamblers who dream of reverse dividends and rack up related stocks.
But after some time.
they realized
Clearly, a new drug has been developed.
There are even rumors that it passed clinical trials as a special measure.
The bizarre fact that no more information is released no matter how long it passes.
Originally, those who should have been as interested in Quetzalcoatl’s new medicine as they were and made a noise.
That includes the strange silence of medical officials.
What is the reason.
while they were puzzled.
Some rumors spread in secret.
“…Nectar? Elixir of immortality?”
“Is that the effect of this new drug?”
“What absurd nonsense…”
Most laughed at the rumor.
Even in this age of iron, where all kinds of skills exist, immortality was such an absurd story.
But as time goes on.
The sneer gradually hardened.
It is because similar rumors have been constantly transmitted through various reliable routes to be regarded simply as chirashi.
How to drill a rock if the water drop continues.
The increasingly rich and detailed rumors gradually shook their minds.
‘The green dragon family’s elixir is amazing.’
‘Even if it’s not really immortal, he might have made a drug that increases lifespan to some extent…’ ‘
Why can’t I get this medicine?
At the end of raising doubts about the situation where you can’t get the medicine even if you try to get it, pretending to be deceived.
A shocking rumor struck them.
“what?”
“The reason why the drug is not distributed is because medical officials are sweeping it away?”
“I can’t believe that such nonsense…”
But it actually happened.
A large amount of nectar was found in the warehouse of a certain distributor.
Those who found out about the fact questioned the distributor, but the answer that came back was speculative.
“It’s just a collection of medicines for me, so what’s the problem!”
they just found out
The reason why I couldn’t find nectar was because of the indiscriminate hoarding of distributors and medical personnel.
That it was not in anticipation of a price increase, but in order to secure the amount to use before it was sold out.
The moment when I learned about such behavior of medical personnel who clearly know the performance of the new drug more than anyone else.
The stock market turned upside down.
It wasn’t because potion-related stocks plummeted and Quetzalcoatl-related stocks skyrocketed.
It was because those who heard the rumors rushed to the hospital and pharmacy without saying who said first.
“Nectar! Give me the nectar!”
“Get out of the way, I’m first!”
“No? Do not lie! Do you think you guys don’t know that they stole it secretly?”
shake the whole world
creating distrust among medical personnel.
Furthermore, it was a major incident that caused massive protests in each country to secure nectar or establish a quota system.
It was the moment when the nectar shock began.
* * *
“Well, this sucks.”
The original fancy dress.
However, as a result of wandering around the jungle for a long time, the woman’s clothes are messed up with mud and insect juices.
Holy Lord Johanna sighed lightly.
And the cardinal, as messed up as she was, took her words with a tired face.
“Isn’t it too early to decide? If we spread articles questioning the efficacy of nectar from now on, we may be able to change public opinion.”
Immortality and disease-free longevity.
whatever great effect it has.
The results will show up in the long run.
Although doctors talk about telomere regeneration, it is not easy for the general public to feel the efficacy of the drug.
So, if you spread black propaganda, such as saying that it is originally a drug, that it is not very effective, or that it has serious side effects.
The possibility of reversing this nectar shock was certainly not out of the question.
If it was from the Green Dragon clan, he might have suspected that he could turn a fake medicine into a real one.
But Johanna shook her head without a second thought.
“No, it’s too late.”
“…you’re saying that you should have started sooner.”
“Princess Green Dragon is not easy enough to win a public opinion battle even though the situation has progressed this much.”
Yohanna smiled bitterly.
The problem was time.
Running away from a fight is fine.
It took dozens of days to return because the place was Amazon.
Because of that, by the time I left South America on the route I had prepared in advance, nectar shock had already spread all over the world.
“The method of causing this nectar shock is also very clever.”
It would be better if the green dragon clan advertised the effect of nectar extensively.
I might have been able to catch a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of
Just as the potatoes that Joan of Arc actively spread in the distant past were called the devil’s crop and were used in political offensives.
But Maia took the exact opposite way.
Instead of advertising nectar, it rather hides it, naturally securing credibility.
It aroused everyone’s desire.
Rather than a mass-produced product that can be purchased at any time, even if it is originally the same product, a limited edition with a limited quantity stimulates the desire to purchase.
In that respect, it was no coincidence that medical officials had a monopoly on nectar.
So Johanna had no choice but to sigh.
“The Eden plan must be abandoned.”
“Hey, are you okay?”
“It’s a waste to invest so far, but there were limits to how we could proceed with the plan at the point where we couldn’t get the millennials anyway.”
To be honest.
Likewise, even if he obtained the millennial flower, he would not have been able to push the nectar out with the potion.
The essence of a potion is a cure.
It has a great effect in that it can replace a healer’s treatment or buff, but in the end it was an item that could be replaced.
On the other hand, what about nectar?
not even a player.
Even if you are not a psionic expert.
Is there any substitute for the absurd drug that allows ordinary people to live several times longer?
Without that substitute, it was impossible for anyone in the world to steal the pharmaceutical and medical market from the green dragon clan.
Knowing this, he agreed, but the cardinal expressed concern.
“It’s true, but other monarchs won’t agree.”
“Well, that must be a problem for sure.”
The Eden plan to dominate the world’s pharmaceutical market using potions was promoted at the World Federation level.
That much money and support from the other 7 guilds went in, so it would be difficult to just say that it failed.
But Johanna wasn’t really worried.
He just had a gentle smile.
“Still, if we ask our best friend Commander, won’t it work somehow?”
“…”
Of course, calling the Commander, one of the most unique among the Seven Lords, a close friend.
When the cardinal puts on a really dumbfounded expression when he sees the pope who is ready to use him as a shield.
T-ri-ri.
Johanna’s pager rang.
Taking out the pager and identifying the caller, she smiled and accepted it.
“You contacted me at the perfect timing. We were just talking about the commander.”
“I’m sorry I couldn’t hear from you. As you know, I’ve been in a place where I can’t reach you until now.”
“Yes, yes, I am sorry about that.”
“Relax, though. I’ll be able to make the medicine you need for Command Lord.”
I was on the phone like that.
Johanna tilted her head.
“Right now… you mean?”
“That’s a bit difficult.”
“I haven’t even washed yet.”
And…
[Wow! Kwah!]
With a great noise, he put the broken pager into his bosom.
Johanna smiled and said.
“It looks like the commander-in-chief will take care of the Eden plan.”
* * *
“…I see.”
with one hand out.
A green-haired woman sitting on a throne.
Maia quietly opened her mouth.
“You mean that the Holy Lord escaped after all?”
“sorry. Because we didn’t have enough manpower to monitor the entire Amazon…”
“I don’t need any excuses. It’s something I didn’t expect in the first place.”
Looking at Barbara, who couldn’t lift her head, Maia was cynical.
Treatment of hospitalized Geumryong Clan.
From there to the production of nectar.
In a situation where most of the manpower was tied up to deal with all of that at once, finding and capturing the Holy Lord and the elite of the Saint Guild.
That would have been close to impossible in the first place.
There was no reason to be disappointed again.
“Rather than that, is the supply of nectar going well?”
“We are doing our best to produce, but requests for an increase in supply continue to come from each branch.”
“In that case, increase production. If necessary, you can bring in the staff from the branch.”
Maia cut it off.
And one arm he was holding out.
Looking at the vial containing the drops of blood that flowed down his milky skin, he said quietly.
“Anyway, there are plenty of ingredients.”
“Princess, drawing more blood is not good for your health.”
“Do you think I can’t even take care of my own body? Stop worrying unnecessarily and do what you are told to do.”
“…your princess.”
Eventually, Arbella and Barbara quietly withdrew, carrying only a vial of her blood.
There was no time to waste idling around at the Green Dragon Clan, who was wasting a single manpower for all sorts of things.
However, he is the one who has worked busier than any other clan to mass-produce nectar.
Maia did not go back to work.
Instead, after getting up slowly.
I was just heading somewhere.
So we arrived at the lowest floor of Quetzalcoatl headquarters.
In the artificial garden where all kinds of flowers are in full bloom, she stopped walking.
And in the middle of the artificial garden.
Sit cross-legged quietly.
With a carving knife resting on his lap, he gazed at the gray-haired man who was immersed in meditation.
“How are you feeling?”
“Still good.”
Is it because I was already aware of that approach?
Limon answered calmly.
And open your closed eyelids.
He looked directly at Maia with his calm golden eyes and continued talking quietly.
“Except for the fact that the dragon psionic I used while repairing and fighting the sword demon hasn’t fully recovered yet.”
