Episode 374: Ten sincerity and hundred prayers that everyone didnât know
âWait a minute.â
Ray talked to the young elf who was about to leave.
The elf who was about to leave the door stopped.
âWhy is that?â
âIt seems difficult to go right now. As you may have heard rumors spreading in the village, I want to focus on treatment now.â
âCureâ¦â
He looked at Selis with a curious look.
A long silence of three seconds passed.
The young elfâs head nodded.
âI canât give you that much time.â
âOne month is enough.â
Not only the young elf, but even Selis were surprised to hear that he only asked for one month.
Can the curse that has been together for decades be lifted in just one month?
The young elf, who turned his body completely and looked at Ray, narrowed his eyes.
âWould you really be okay with a month?â
It was a question full of doubts, but Rayâs answer was refreshing.
âyes. One month is all it takes.â
âAt that level⦠I get it. But be sure to keep what you say. Unlike humans, elves hate lies.â
While nodding her head, Ray shifted her gaze to the young elfâs clothing.
A colossal outfit with only leaves visible.
It was much thicker and longer than the one she had received from Selis, but it was the same that if she wandered around in a village of humans, she wouldnât have anything to say even if she was immediately arrested for disorderly conduct.
So, no matter what I said, I couldnât take it seriously.
âyes.â
âIâll just go. See you again in a month or so.â
* * *
When the elf youth disappeared, Selis became restless.
âCan you really fix it in a month?â
As if telling him not to worry, Ray patted his chest.
âI was underestimating the elvesâ ability to heal themselves. If we keep going like this, we will probably be able to finish it within a month, not a few months.â
âThatâs fortunate, butâ¦â
I canât help but worry.
Itâs a simple treatment that ends with just applying medicine, but isnât it improving thanks to his advice so far?
If the skin spots did recur while Ray was gone, it would be quite troublesome.
As if guessing what she was thinking, Ray rummaged through his leather backpack.
âIâm going to change my medications from now on.â
âAre you changing?â
âYour skin will be somewhat dry, but the effect is much better than now.â
I knew that the existing medications worked well for Selis.
Also, thanks to the elfâs unique healing power, it was confirmed that other drugs were worth trying.
There was nothing wrong with my body, so there was no need to take the slow route.
The degree of dryness of the skin can be solved by supplementing with sufficient moisture.
You may feel drowsy after taking the medicine, but if you sleep or take a sigh, you will definitely feel better.
The reins of âpossible side effectsâ that had been blocking him so far were released.
A doctor who is not worried about getting behind the scenes (?) is invincible.
Ray let out a sinister laugh.
âHeh heh. open your mouth It goes in.â
When I put the water and the heavy-looking medicine into my mouth, Selis, who felt that his life was threatened, protested.
âWait a minuteâ¦! Ugh!â
Wait a minute, Nabal, and it was no longer used.
Due to the lack of modern medical equipment, the medicine that could not be fully compressed boasted the size of an adult male fist.
After putting it in her mouth, Celis was dying.
If he hadnât protected his jaw with mana, the jaw would have fallen out as soon as he put the medicine in his mouth.
It even made me wonder if he was trying to kill himself in the name of treatment.
Enemy-! Enemy-!
I chewed hard on the dry medicine that looked like tree skin.
Every time I chewed the dry medicinal material, my mouth dried up in an instant.
Like a drought, so to speak.
It is the soil that has begun to crack due to drought.
I chewed it up somehow and passed it down my throat, and this time Ray approached with a bucket of water.
After a drought, a flood awaits.
* * *
I took the medicine for over a week and applied it again.
Sellis, who was trying to show her strength, got a little tired of it.
The medicine is stuffy and the throat is dry.
And the taste was so intensely bitter that it was like poking your tongue with sharp needles.
âDo I really need to eat this?â
I tried to complain, but only a playful reply came back.
âIt is a high-quality nutritious food that cannot be compared to the fruits and grass that you have always eaten. Be patient and eat.â
Itâs high-end nutrition.
I donât know if itâs good for the body, but the taste was so bad that even eating just one was painful.
âHow the hell do you make something like this? It will be difficult to make.â
The hard work was mercilessly ignored.
Ray smiled and nodded.
âI borrowed it from somewhere else.â
âCould you borrow it?â
âYou could say I borrowed knowledge. Everything in my life is borrowed from somewhere.â
Sellis waved her hand, wondering if she was playing a joke on his subtle words again.
âIt was a joke. What else would you do? Can you really cure it in the next three weeks? Dispelling barrier magic is not an easy task. The elders are busy people, so I canât wait forever.â
âThe medicine is a bit lacking, but I can solve it somehow. Trust me completely.â
Selis gave Ray a look.
Although he was joking around a lot, he had never let go of what he had said once.
Moreover, the eyes of truth were also proving that his words were true.
âItâs only at times like this that youâre really trustworthy.â
* * *
When exactly 15 days had passed.
Celis shuddered and shook her head.
âI canât even eat it. Canât we just treat it like before?â
âIt might be easy, but for now, itâs better to treat yourself while taking medicine. Shut up and open your mouth.â
âOuchâ¦â
She opened her mouth after making a painful sound.
A handful of finely chopped medicines went into his small mouth.
There was no end to the medicine, just a handful.
The amount you need to eat at least three or four more times.
I tried boiling it and powdering it, but the nasty taste was still the same.
Ray looked at her and said.
âSwallow. It is to treat your skin, which you wanted to get rid of by tearing off your own flesh. Thereâs no way it can be fixed without any trouble.â
âBut no matter how much this isâ¦â Itâs
already beyond the genre of taste, and itâs even painful to pass it down your throat.
The strong scent of medicinal herbs seemed to have lost its function in the nose and cut off the tongue.
sick.
That would be the correct expression.
Ray calmly looked down at Sellis, who was showing displeasure.
There was no more smile on his face.
But there was only an inexplicable remorse in those eyes.
âAs far as I know, millions of people have been crippled for their entire lives because there is no common medicine available, and tens of thousands of people who have lost their lives because there is no healer to take care of them. You have medicines and a doctor who will treat you ailments. Are you still going to spit out the sound of being full because it doesnât taste good?â âButâ¦â
When she opened her mouth to say something, Ray cut off her words.
âOpen your mouth. If you want to get better, take medicine.â
ââ¦â
She opened her mouth again.
* * *
24 days have passed.
The spots were now significantly reduced in size.
At a glance, itâs the size that makes you think itâs attached to something.
Celis, who hadnât left the house since Ray told her to be careful of sunlight, was itching to brag about her current situation to the village elves.
I wanted to show the traces of the ugly years that everyone treated as a curse and looked down on as soon as possible.
â Be careful of sunlight.
It sounded like someone was nagging him, but he shook his head to clear his thoughts.
âIâm going out for a while, so what? After all, I have a lot of worries.â
for a moment.
It wonât go unnoticed for a very short while.
In addition, I felt strongly that going out for a few minutes would not harm my skin.
Celis, having made up her mind, decided to go out.
* * *
She couldnât sleep properly for over twenty days.
Although this is a heterogeneous race, it was enough to be a shame while living in the same house with a member of the opposite sex.
Selisâ footsteps naturally headed for the stream behind the forest.
After staying at home for a while, soaking in the stream seemed to relieve the accumulated stress.
âHaaâ¦â
So far, there hasnât been anything that could be called twists and turns.
I simply took my medicine and drank some water.
Only those two things drove me crazy.
I wondered how the hell it was made, and I wondered if it was made with black magic.
what about water?
He yells at you, telling you to drink in one day the amount you should have split over at least three days.
In the process, Selis quarreled and quarreled and fought a lot with Ray.
It is only now that I am getting used to it little by little, I hold back and drink it, but when it is time for a meal, the desire to run away is like a chimney.
âIâll ask you to eat it again when I get back.â
I am not in a position to complain because I am receiving treatment by relying on his kindness.
To be honest, I would be lying if I said I had no complaints at all.
she got up from her seat
There were only a few traces of spots left on Selisâ body, which was not wearing a single thread.
If it goes on like this, it will be cured within a month.
* * * As
she was about to get dressed and return to the village, a person came into her eyes from afar.
A figure bent over wearing a familiar murky white robe and engrossed in something.
Selis, hiding behind a tree without realizing it, looked at him.
His hands, who usually liked clean things, were muddy.
âWhat are you doing?â
She watched him curiously.
At first I didnât know what the heck I was doing, but after a while I understood the actions.
Finding medicines to make for yourself.
The reason I went out early in the morning and didnât come back until late in the evening.
â Iâm a bit short on medicine, but I can solve it somehow. trust me completely
The person who said that was secretly and silently doing his job in the back mountain.
Seeing this, Celisâs mouth closed little by little.
In the meantime, there was one drug that he did not know about, and there was a tenfold devotion and a hundred origins.
In a playful tone, he covered up his hardships as if they were nothing.
There was a person who was climbing a mountain covered in dirt, even though his bare face was barely covered.
He dug and dug through the hard earth.
Spring has just passed winter.
Every time he moved his hands to dig up the cold ground, he didnât even know it was his turn.
White, proof of pure whiteness and one mind, showed off their small presence vaguely.
dug up
The hard work put into making one medicine was indescribable.
â My life is only borrowed from another place.
Borrowing knowledge from another world, borrowing a body from another world, borrowing a place from another world.
His soil-covered hands brushed off the still-frozen ground as if handling something precious.
Ten sincerity.
The floral scent gradually intensified.
Hoping for the happiness of others instead of me, I carefully sweep the ingredients for making medicinal herbs into my waistband.
The origin of the hundred.
The birth of the medicine that Selis herself had refused to eat was quietly and sacredly taking place there.
