41 – Securing the specimen – 1

“Hmm… I think I’m done with this.”

Among the families of the elven alchemists who helped with the experiment, there were those who fell ill with the plague.

Volunteers were selected from among the dogs to continue research on pesticides and vaccines, and as a result of steady testing over the past few days, at least a drug that could be called a cure and vaccine was created.

In fact, when I used it, some people were cured, and they had immunity again.

The problem is that it doesn’t work well with those with holy power. Well, maybe I should do some more research on this.

As long as there are no variants in Phase 2, there shouldn’t be a big problem.

“But if this is the case, can’t we just talk to the chief of the Suhui tribe and start treatment?”

“But when the priests of the Healing Tree tribe leave, I get more tired.”

Of course, there must be support from the kingdom and the church, but this is the forest of elves.

There was no need to antagonize.

Perhaps they could be framed for causing the plague and the balance of power would collapse.

The reason why Lorelia is not allowed to come here and is killing the Elf Association outside is probably to prevent that from happening.

“Yes. In addition, Lady Lorelia is currently negotiating with other tribes.”

They are struggling to get support from the kingdom and the church into the elven forest.

Oh my gosh. Even in this situation, you refuse to support.

The arrogance of the elves really made my heart grow.

“Grumble…”

Several alchemists avoided my gaze as if they were embarrassed.

I guess so. For the sake of knowledge sharing, they do not care about ties with other races, so for more progressive alchemists, this conservative side of their own race would be embarrassing.

“Well. Wouldn’t it be better to keep the tradition in a situation where you can keep it?”

“Keuheum. Thank you for saying that.”

One of the alchemists helping me placed the chalet in front of me.

I gave him a rough nod and sprayed the medicine on the blood clot in the chalet to see his reaction.

Again, the reaction itself is good.

All that remains is to create a cure that works well for those with holy power…

I’m going to have to hurry up and pick up a volunteer with holy power.

The problem was that there were few people who could be called test subjects now.

Among the test subjects who have suffered from a plague and have not yet used a cure, an elf with holy power is needed, but there are no left.

Um… Shall we catch some priest and test it?

If you get caught, it’ll be noisy, so I secretly caught it…

I saw Yeonhwa who helped me with the test during the last hour.

As I looked at her, fiddling with the syringe, she flinched and backed away.

“What were the side effects of the last test?”

“…the pain is considerable.”

“Okay? Then take one dose of this…”

“I’m on break right now…”

“Sheesh. Then another volunteer…”

“Because of that pain, the resources of those with holy power were cut off. Originally, there weren’t that many. That… Lorian, you know.”

“Who was it?”

As I tilted my head, Rotello, who was working next to me, frowned.

“…My little brother.”

“Those big breasts and big hips? There are two dots between the breastbones.”

“Do humans only remember elves with things like that?!”

no. I just remember it as a feature. It had to be, because she was also an exhibitionist, so it was obvious.

I smiled at Rotello, who was losing his temper, before changing the subject.

“I’m curious. Why do so many elves suffer from exhibitionism among elves?”

Exhibitionism is also a type of psychosis. People living in this world are rare without a single mental illness, but after living in the forest of elves for a few days, there were exceptionally many elves with exhibitionism.

Evangeline didn’t have anything like that, so I didn’t know.

I asked Nina, a blonde elven alchemist standing next to me, clad in nothing but a thong-like bikini, and she hesitated before answering.

“The… The Alchemist Guild did some research on it.”

“Oh? Yes?”

“Most elves have strong self-esteem, don’t they? One of the ways to express that self-esteem is to show off your body.”

“Hoo.”

“Elves are beautiful and have a good body. There are many speculations that stress is expressed through exhibitionism to show that they are superior to other races…”

After all, is this also the elf’s arrogance?

I agree to some extent with Nina’s words.

Well, if I had a beautiful face and body like the elves, I would be proud of it.

Why is it like wearing tight clothes when you get fit?

“Ah. Your reaction has changed a bit?”

At that time, Nina, who was looking at the chalet, muttered admiringly, and the alchemists around me clung to me. To see a small chalet, sticking around like this.

oh that’s embarrassing

As I tried to push them away, frowning at the nice scent that brushed my nose, the laboratory door burst open.

“I’m here…!”

The one who entered was a silver-haired beauty in black priestly clothes. Veronica, who came in with a pretty bright expression, smiled at me and hardened her expression slightly.

“Uh. Are you here?”

“…yes. I’m here.”

Why is he like that again? I looked at where Veronica’s gaze had landed.

to…

Her gaze landed on the exhibitionist alchemist elves and the elves whose eyes were shining close to me.

“…Does it really have to stick like that?”

“Because I want to see your reaction.”

“What kind of reaction do you want to see? Aha. The reaction when a woman and a man stick together? Maybe a seduction experiment?”

“Ha. Are you jealous?”

“Ji, jealousy? What is jealousy!”

As Veronica blushed and screamed, another woman appeared at the door she had entered. This was also a familiar face.

It was Claire and Lucille. The two entered with cold faces and were happy to see me, but their expressions stiffened just like Veronica.

“…Master. What the hell are those people…? Surely… didn’t they come to the Elven Forest to cure the plague…? Why are they…”

“Hyunwoo…”

I can see what you’re misunderstanding.

It looks like I’m trying to set up a harem in the elven forest. It’s not like that, so I want to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

I moved the chalet that responded to it to another table, and the elves who had been clinging to me just before rushed towards it.

As I looked at them, who were freed from their skin in an instant, the three faces turned red beyond comparison.

“I don’t want to waste your time with useless misunderstandings. Veronica. How much support did you get from the church?”

“Uh, uhm. Kheuheum. Sorry.”

“You don’t have to be sorry. You and I are in a relationship, so what’s the point of misunderstanding?”

“You, between you and me… heh. Anyway. 30 high-ranking priests and 50 high-ranking paladins from the church applied. And there will be additional support.”

Wow. sent too many

Are there no elves among the dogs?

If so, as a test subject…

“In the kingdom?”

“…Aren’t you going to talk about the relationship between me and Master?”

“Do I need to mention what’s going on with my one and only disciple?”

“Hu-huh. Right? The alchemists of the Alchemist Guild decided to support us. And…”

It is said that they have been purchasing large quantities of food from the kingdom and materials necessary for manufacturing medicines.

“That’s good. You worked hard.”

“Whoops. It’s for Master. As a disciple, of course.”

I saw Claire after congratulating Veronica and Lucille. It is true that whatever the relationship between her and me is, and even if I did not ask for this, it will benefit me in the end.

Did you help me with my achievements?

“Claire.”

“Ugh, huh?!”

“You worked hard. Hey. Thank you.”

“…uh?”

“What’s your reaction like?”

“Oh… thank you…?”

“yes.”

Claire’s eyes were trembling. Orange eyes resembling the sun lost their way and moved here and there. Her long legs wrapped in white pants start to tremble and her fingers run through her hair.

It was Claire’s habit when she was embarrassed.

What kind of thanks are you so surprised at once? Anyway, thank you so much…

“Veronica. I’ll tell you the situation first. Right now in the healing tree tribe…”

I told him what happened with Suhwi a few days ago. After hearing the explanation that the Healing Tree Tribe is preventing plague treatment, Veronica was dumbfounded, and Lucille let out a sigh.

“Then what do you do?”

“Well. Chief Lorelia will take care of it. I can’t help myself with this part.”

Of course, if you think it’s too much, I’ll treat you first, but if you still don’t accept it…

At that time, I have no choice but to use the last resort.

“Hey, there! Hyunwoo!”

“yes?”

“…there you are…”

After hesitating for a while, Claire took a step forward. She glanced at me, then closed her lips, looked again, then closed her lips.

I know what you’re talking about.

“Are you asking Evangeline for a favor?”

“Hey! Oh, how did you know?”

As a member of the warrior party, Evangeline greatly improved the honor of the elves.

As much as you are treated as a hero in the forest of elves, what if you engrave your position as a sage with her help?

Claire’s argument was that then it would be possible to treat the plague without paying attention to the healing tree tribe.

“Wait. Doesn’t that mean the sage should bow to her?”

Veronica doesn’t seem to like it. When she said it coldly, Lucille nodded as if she agreed.

Certainly, if you know the relationship between me and the warrior party, it doesn’t look good for me to ask Evangeline.

Claire was hesitant because she knew that too.

I turned my head while listening to their conversation.

I saw something swaying and sliding down the window.

“why?”

“No. Nothing. Hmm… Ask Evangeline.”

– Knock!!

Then the door opened with a sense of urgency.

uh? Is there anyone else coming? When everyone in the lab looked toward the door, we were quite surprised.

Because standing there was the most unsuitable person.

Suhwi.

She was the chief of the Tree of Healing Tribe and the mother of a saint.

“Ah. Is it time to use the Great Sacred Art already?”

He said he would put an end to the plague with great divine art. It reminded me of a plan to unite with divine power.

Doing meaningless things…

I can say this with certainty.

Plague can never be solved with divine power alone.

But what do you need to stop doing?

They know whether they should see it or not.

“Now.

huh?

How is the atmosphere strange?

Soo-hwi’s eyes were trembling.

“What? What’s up?”

“…Sage. Ah, no. Sage.”

Soo-hwi came to me trembling.

-dump.

knelt down in front of me

To be honest, this was a surprise to me as well.

That arrogant elf.

To think that the chieftain of a huge tribe would kneel in front of humans.

“Boo… Please… Please…”

Trembling, she bowed her head in front of me.

Showing a desperate attitude of just wanting salvation, the exact opposite of when he was talking quite high-handedly to me before.

“Please… save my daughter…”

What else is this?

Uh… wait.

What this woman is doing…

Wow. Could it be that the saintess has the plague?

How strange is this? Even though I was able to spread a protective shield with divine power to block the energy of death, I was caught…

Perhaps the second phase of the plague event, which was a little stronger, was about to start from her.

Anyway, is there such an unfortunate case?

The opportunity to raise the level of the test subject and pestilence treatment came by hand.

I grabbed Soo-hwi’s shoulder as he prayed earnestly in front of me.

“Let’s go. We need to know what’s going on to know if we can help or not.”

“…Help… Are you saying you’re going to help…? Everything, I ignored you and refused your treatment… me…?”

“In the first place, I came to the Elven Forest to cure the plague. The Elves are arrogant and proud… I already knew that.”

Of course, I don’t mean to just skip it.

In addition, now we need clinical trial subjects, and those who can endure considerable pain.

If this woman and the saintess are used well, even the priests of the Tree of Healing Tribe could be used as test subjects, and the momentum of the elves could be greatly undermined.

And now, I can easily punish those who are finely engraved in the diary of my mind.

Right now, the lack of healing trees is a problem, so they will understand if you do some drastic experiments and test medicines that you have only obtained recipes and haven’t made before.

exciting.

You could even get the Pharmacy Master achievement here!

Elves have good physical condition… Huhuhuhu.

Well, if you don’t cooperate, don’t do it.

As counter-sacred arts have become meaningless, I now have the initiative to cure the plague.

If you don’t want to die, I will cooperate.

I told her, suppressing the laughter I was about to burst out.

“Come on. Let’s go. Time doesn’t always help. Even right now, the Plague is attacking your daughter and the tribe of Healing Trees.”

“I, really… are you okay…?”

“I’m not lying about this.”

okay.

I’ll make a cure, and I’ll treat you.

Of course, in the middle of the process, I will benefit a little.

I stood Soo-Hwi up and looked around at the people in the lab who were staring blankly at me.

Claire, Veronica, and Lucille.

And the elves in the lab too.

He was staring at me in disbelief.

“What are you doing? Are you going to play?”

“ah.”

While the people who suddenly came to their senses were busy moving, I went outside, and there I bumped into two familiar faces.

Leventia.

and Evangeline.

I looked at me for a while, and then I spoke to Soo-hwi, who followed me.

“Let’s go.”

Even while moving with Soo-Hwi, I could feel their eyes constantly piercing the back of my head.
