The Crown Prince That Sells dicine Chapter 193
Episode 193 The inside story of the dead (2)
30 minutes ago.
The outskirts of the border city of Kranos. Inside a cave located in a dark corner of the vast wasteland, Necromancer Cartu was concentrating.
‘Mmm.’
see.
Concentration and connection of mana. A gift from great black magic. A sharing of sensations with one’s creation.
Thanks to this, he beca completely connected to the zombies. It was a zombie that had been sent out of the hiding place earlier by putting on a mat and an old hat. He made him walk to Kranos all day. They chose the dark hours of the night to infiltrate the city.
Fortunately, it was successful. He continued to control the zombies. We took a seat in the square around dawn, when people were not paying attention. I sat down sprawled out on the corner of the road. While looking around the city, I also stopped in front of the dented can and two coins I had luckily picked up.
It was perfect.
‘Anyone can see that this is the appearance of an ordinary and standard beggar.’
Cartu was very satisfied with the appearance of the zombies he created. It was a very typical beggar appearance. The posture of sitting sprawled out on the corner of the road, the mattress that was worn half-heartedly, and even the old hat that was crookedly pressed down.
This zombie was even fresh(?), having just been created. Thanks to this, there was almost no unpleasant sll that zombies have. Of course, there was a slight odor, but isn’t that kind of sll a basic requirent for soone who is at the level of a beggar?
Anyway, thanks to you, we completed the infiltration safely. It was from then on. Cartu opened the eyes and ears of the zombie disguised as a beggar. I tried to listen to every word of the people passing by on the street.
All kinds of chatter and useless stories pricked my ears.
So-and-so’s son had an accident. However, they acted so shalessly that the adults had to hold their tongues and allow them to get married.
A certain house’s cow gave birth to two calves, which was unfortunate. While the party was taking place, a drunk so-and-so tried to light a cow’s tail on fire and was kicked by its back foot. In the end, I was taken to a temporary dical center and treated by His Majesty the Crown Prince, etc.
‘…Prince?’
Cartu tilted his head.
The crown prince. A temporary dical center. It was a combination of words and content that I never expected to hear in a place like this.
‘Why is the crown prince in a place like this?’
I didn’t understand it at first. This place, Kranos, is a frontier among frontiers. The place was so remote that it was designated as an Orc autonomous territory. Strictly speaking, it ant that it was an area that was only indirectly ruled by the Imperial Family of the Magentano Empire.
Would the crown prince ever co to this place? No, this was a place that not even the crown prince, nor any mber of the previous imperial family, had ever visited.
‘Besides… a temporary dical center?’
What I didn’t understand even more was the dical center. Of course, I had heard through rumors that the crown prince had a strange hobby. Did you say they do sothing similar to playing hospital?
‘But what if it cos to this change? ‘Why?’
Am I crazy?
Is that why they are going on such a strange journey?
Cartu beca curious and focused more on hearing connected to the zombie. Thanks to this, I had to be shocked by the following information.
“So what happened to that drunken fool? “Did the Crown Prince treat that idiot too?”
“Sure. “Your Majesty says there is no disease that cannot be cured.”
“Is that true?”
“sure. “Your Majesty also cured our child.”
A young man and a woman were talking on the side of the road. the young man asked.
“Did Mrs. Eot’s son also go to Your Majesty?”
“yes. What can I say about that day? Actually, I was almost giving up. Because my child’s cough just can’t seem to stop. “Fever broke out on my face, and even blood ca out in my cough.”
“Your son’s details were very serious. “You must have been very concerned.”
“Don’t even talk. The future was daunting. Then I heard a story from my next-door neighbor. “They told to quickly pick up the child and go to a temporary dical center.”
“You an His Majesty’s temporary dical center?”
“yes. I ran with the child on my back, feeling like I was grasping at straws. The Crown Prince is indeed there. “Thanks to you, I was hesitating because I didn’t know what to do, but didn’t His Majesty readily extend his hand and take care of the child?”
“So what about your son?”
“I got better. Neatly.”
“You an coughing sickness? Oh, I’ve heard quite a few rumors, but I haven’t heard the details. “How on earth did your Majesty catch the coughing disease?”
“It was a potion. “It’s a hot potion that’s as black as burnt charcoal.”
“You an the potion?”
“yes. I heard that it contained various precious herbs, but according to the child who drank it himself…”
“How was it?”
“It tastes like a gorilla’s belly button….”
“….”
“Hmm! Anyway, after taking that dicine, the fever and cough subsided like a lie. “After that, I took dicine and drank it for a few more days.”
“Then what about the child?”
“Oh, there he cos. Hey! “Mom told not to run blindly on the street!”
It was a conversation called…
‘What is this?’
Warlock Kartu was astonished. I couldn’t believe what I had just heard through the zombie’s ears. A potion that instantly relieves coughing sickness. I’d never heard of anything like that. But the stories I kept hearing on the streets showed that the potion was real.
“Well, I drank the potion your highness gave …”
“Oh, don’t even talk about it. “I heard you’re brave.”
“Even if the child who was dying is now alive and well?”
“My father also gained strength.”
“So, now there’s no more people dying from coughing sickness?”
“uh? is it? That’s right, hehehehehehe!”
‘….’
It’s true.
If it’s a lie, there’s no way everyone on the street is talking about it like that. Only then did Cartu realize the situation.
‘Because of that crown prince…’
There was a problem in securing my body. Because he dared to intervene in my work and treat my coughing disease, the number of deaths drastically decreased.
Cartu was truly angry.
He was annoyed that his plan, which was working well, had hit a snag. I was even more angry because it was absurd that the crown prince would co to such a remote area and cause trouble.
But even for a mont.
“…No, if you think about it again, it’s not sothing to make a fuss about.”
Cartu cald down his anger and regained his senses. After that, I was able to analyze the current situation calmly. As I cald down my excitent, my worries also disappeared.
‘The crown prince won’t stay here for long anyway.’
It will happen. We will return to the ecliptic in three or four months at most. That’s it. After the crown prince returns, all you have to do is destroy the long-root licorice farm that the crown prince runs.
Then, the coughing disease could spread widely in this region, including Kranos. Just like in the past, people will suffer from illness and die, and you will be able to secure the bodies with ease. Everything goes back to how it was before.
‘Ti is on my side anyway.’
When I thought about that, I felt at ease. The plan was only delayed by three or four months. Even if the dog barks, the gears keep rolling. Anyway, your great work will be accomplished. So, for now, be patient…
“Excuse , but I ask you one question. I have a unique way of feeling the flow of mana, so I sense it even when I don’t want to. That’s right…”
“…Huh?”
I was in the middle of thinking. Out of nowhere, soone approached the beggar zombie and started talking to him. why? why? For what purpose? Cartu was startled and borrowed the zombie’s vision.
Then it appeared.
Dress neatly and cleanly. The entire body is covered in the highest quality fabric, which looks comfortable but can be seen upon closer inspection. A young man with a slightly thin build and silver hair was talking to . A dozen escorts were also seen lined up around the silver-haired man.
However, the epaulettes on the guards’ shoulders are…
‘Imperial… Guards?’
Cartu’s eyes widened. At that mont, a silver-haired man approached the zombie and gave him a aningful look.
“I don’t think it’s from there?”
“….”
How did know.
“You caught it?”
“…!”
flinch!
It’s not sothing we just pass over. It is a question filled with certainty. Cartu shook his shoulders without even realizing it. The zombie with senses connected to him also bounced with his shoulders full of embarrassnt.
Cartu realized two things.
‘I got caught!’
You have to run away.
From that prince!
‘Why the hell is the crown prince here? Besides, how did you recognize my zombie?’
He hurriedly started controlling the zombies.
♣
Kwadangtang!
The beggar, or rather the zombie, hurriedly stood up with a confused gesture. Then I lost my balance and fell. Looking at that scene, Rachiel inwardly slapped her knee.
‘also.’
right.
His eyes were not wrong.
‘I felt fierce the mont I saw it.’
Was it a little while ago? I was riding a carriage and looking out the window. In the scenery of the passing street, I happened to see a beggar. At first, I thought he was just an ordinary beggar. But sohow I felt a strange energy.
It was thanks to the shabby way of thinking.
‘Because I was constantly using the faint spirit technique to restore my energy. Thanks to this, I was able to roughly sense the flow of mana around to so extent.’
The mind thod optimized for the absorption and amplification of mana was the Asurahan mind thod. Naturally, whenever I activated a ntal technique, I beca sensitive to the flow of mana around .
It was like that when I saw the beggar just now.
As soon as I saw the beggar, I felt a strange flow of mana through my mind. The breathing pattern was strange. The mana energy flowing around the beggar was strangely distorted.
Thanks to this, at first I thought it was a patient with a unique disease. So I stopped the carriage and approached. Acupuncture point scanning was turned on. At that mont, I was able to clearly see the flow of mana in the beggar’s body.
I finally realized it.
Not a living person. It is not the mana flow of a living person. That’s a walking corpse.
In other words….
‘It’s a zombie.’
…gulp.
Rachiel swallowed dry saliva without realizing it. Actually, I’ve seen zombies in books and movies so many tis, but this was my first ti seeing them in real life(?). It felt like I was encountering a scene from a real horror movie. The thought of the corpse moving gave an eerie feeling.
But on the other hand, I also thought that I couldn’t just ignore this. This was because the contents of the novel Demon Sword Emperor suddenly ca to mind.
‘If there are zombies, it ans there’s a warlock nearby.’
A warlock runs rampant in the area where he is trying to establish a long-root licorice farm. That wasn’t right. Wouldn’t this cause a setback in a project that was put in so effort?
Rachiel quickly ordered.
“Capture that Damien alive. I drove it into an alley so that people wouldn’t notice. “Be careful not to get bitten.”
“All right.”
Damian and the mbers of the Royal Guard Special Forces were already holding the sword handle when the beggar zombie flinched in embarrassnt. As soon as Rakiel’s command was given, he went out holding a sheathed sword.
“…Kwouk!”
Under pressure from Damian and others, the zombie got up and took a step back. Damian slowly advanced. The zombie retreated further. I was driven into an alley. Finally, I stopped getting people’s attention.
At that mont, Damian’s sheathed sword moved lightly.
Bah!
“Guwok?”
Damian’s sword swung low and tripped the zombie’s leg. Imdiately after that, special forces and guards rushed in. He held on tightly to the fallen zombie’s limbs and captured it.
“…Geuuk! Gwok!”
The zombie struggled wildly. The old hat he had been wearing deep inside his head was taken off by the razor. The pale, corpse-like face was clearly visible.
However, the mont Rakiel saw the zombie’s bare face, he paused without realizing it. A fragnt of mory penetrated my consciousness.
That zombie was a face I had seen sowhere before. when? The first day I arrived in this city. where? At the funeral ho of Sang-jangjang. How? Through the portrait erected in the head’s shrine.
So, that zombie…
“…Tulun Chief?”
