“Well, it hasn’t been long since they’ve arrived here. All we can do right now is wait… Prince Davey?” Yulis called upon Davey, who kept silent.

“Oh, yes.” Davey snapped out of his thoughts and nodded.

Yulis chuckled. “And the order protecting the place is the Knights of Destruction, and I have heard that the captain dispatched here is Count Collio.”

“Count Collio? Um… From the Lyndis Empire, the most powerful empire in the eastern continent…”

“Yes, he is one of the royal knightage’s captains. I heard that he retired a few years ago, but it seems that he’s here.” Yulis added with a sigh, “Well… It doesn’t seem like a bad idea to leave it to them for now…”

It wasn’t a bad decision to leave it to the coalition, since they were the continent’s best medical organization. However, it seemed like Davey’s worries weren’t going away.

“I wouldn’t have brought the two of you here if I knew how dangerous it was…” Winley blamed herself. When Davey just hugged her and patted her on the back, she murmured, “Bro…ther?”

“Don’t worry. It’s going to be fine.”

“Okay…” Comforted by Davey’s voice, Winley gradually stopped trembling.

At least they had gotten off on the right foot. What they planned to do from now on was more important, and it was meaningless to dwell on what had happened.

Davey was determined to keep his promise; Winley was his precious younger sister who brought him joy and laughter, after all. Then, turning to Yulis, Davey said, “Anyways, never mind me, but we caused a huge inconvenience to you, Class-5 Yulis.”

Yulis shook his head and laughed. “No, not at all. I forgot to tell you, but Portna is part of the Red Tower.”

“Oh… Yes.”

“Since one of the mages of the Red Tower is severely ill, I must stay and monitor the situation as an elder.”

It looked to Davey that Yulis was being genuine since he was someone of a virtuous character. In fact, it said that Yulis truly did want to help when he checked with [Check Information].

‘But why does it look like he has another reason?’

-Don’t blindly trust the power of [Check Information].

The power couldn’t be perfect even if the authority was a fragment of the power of God.

-Why didn’t you stay there and treat people?

“It wouldn’t have helped even if I was there.”

When she heard Davey’s aloof answer, Perserque tilted her head in confusion. She wondered why he left without any hesitation when he had seen the patients and knew what the disease was.

-And all you did was take some weird pus.

“This is key.” Davey smiled bitterly as he lightly shook the liquid in the test tube. “I told you that it’s a virus. We can treat the disease right away by finding the cause.”

-But if we do that…

“There’s a fifty-fifty chance: you either get to live or you die on the spot. Acupuncture could also work, but only for certain cases.” To Davey, it made no sense to make such a rash and extreme decision. He continued, “If the coalition is at least suppressing the number of dying residents as best as they can, I have to find a cure when I have the time right now.”

What Davey was trying to do was simple: to make an antivirus or an antibody. This disease didn’t exist in this world, but it was strong enough to remain and wreck the human body, so Davey’s method was the only way to find a cure. Hypocria, the Goddess of Medicine who previously cured this disease, had said that she had to watch numerous people die while she developed an antibody.

The process of developing a cure for a nasty disease was incredibly arduous. Candidly put, the history of medicine was stained with blood; as such, it was crucial for those who practiced medicine to learn the importance of life while learning the art of medicine. Even Davey, who hadn’t personally experienced the bloodstained history did understand the magnitude of life.

-An antibody…

“When something bad enters the human body, the human body secretes something to destroy it. And it remembers the information of the intruder and makes an antibody for it.”

Perserque nodded in understanding.

Antigens and antibodies; the human body was truly fascinating.

-It’s common in the medical field, right?

The Coalition of Disease Control probably tried several different ways to create an antibody as well. Of course, they most likely didn’t succeed since the method to create this antibody was completely beyond common knowledge.

-But…how are you going to make an antibody with just that?

Davey was just staring at the tube, but he suddenly raised his head. “Come in if you’ve arrived. Don’t just stand there.” There was no one other than Davey and Perserque, who was floating, in the room, but his words were clearly for someone else.

Shshshsh… Just then, a presence could be felt. The empty space began distorting, and someone started appearing in the air.

“…”

Davey could only see the eyes of the man in the black uniform and mask, just like before. The man looked slightly shocked, his emotions showing through his eyes. It seemed like Jack had tried to hide as best as he could, but Davey’s skills as an assassin were probably more than ten times better than Jack’s; honing a craft for close to a thousand years was nearly impossible for ordinary people. Time was probably the most valuable resource that the heroes who couldn’t reach the end in their lifetime could have in the Hall.

“You found me again,” Jack said.

“I found you because I can see you,” Davey replied.

“That makes…”

“Sense.”

‘You should look at who you’re talking to before teaching a fish how to swim.’

Although Davey’s physical body wasn’t that experienced yet, his inner self was another story altogether.

Davey cut Jack off and glanced over in irritation.

Then, Jack approached slowly. “This is the information you were looking for.”

“Good work. And are you going to receive the compensation?”

“Not yet. And take this as well.” Jack calmly handed Davey a capsule that contained two different piles of documents. Well, Jack was actually Aina Helishana, the dark elf.

“This is?”

“I brought it because I thought that it would be useful.”

“You’re going to get fired if you keep doing this kind of charity work.”

“It doesn’t matter. We calculate everything.”

Offering the extra documents wasn’t the intention of the Echo Guild, the enormous intelligence guild, but of Jack’s own accord.

Since Jack was offering them, Davey accepted the documents. He went on to read and squint at the documents. “Hm… Are you sure this is accurate?”

Jack silently nodded. The information was probably true since anybody who sold information as their livelihood had to be known as reliable.

“Okay, then. I’m afraid I’m going to have to ask for one more thing.”

When Jack quietly nodded, Davey made his request. “I need large quantities of the products listed here. Put it under the name… Coalition of Disease Control.”

“Are you sure?”

“What would be wrong with that? You already know that the coalition is here. Just tell them that Baron Gorneo ordered it. You have to get it as soon as possible. I don’t know how many more will die each day that we don’t have the items.”

Puzzled, Jack tilted his head, but it was good for both of them to have a win-win situation.

“The quantity of each medicinal herb should be more than enough to fill up one carriage. I think you should be able to obtain it faster and more accurately than mercenaries.”

“I will get it to you as soon as possible…” Jack slightly bowed and disappeared into thin air. Watching him, Davey just shook the test tube in his hand.

As soon as the sun came up, Davey headed to the headquarters where the Coalition of Disease Control’s doctors and administrative members were having a meeting. The knights who normally blocked his entrance into the headquarters no longer did that; perhaps they were given different orders from the members.

“Ah! Prince Davey, you’re here,” Count Lington said.

“Thank you all for your hard work,” Davey replied.

Lington chuckled. “Haha, what is there to call hard work? It is you who’s done the hard work, Your Highness.”

“Hm…”

“I heard that you saved an emergency patient at the treatment center yesterday.”

“It just happened, so I dealt with it.”

“Hahaha! I was really surprised. I didn’t know you were versed in the art of medicine.”

“It’s not enough to be proud of.”

Lington shook his head vigorously. “Not something to be proud of?! The treatment method you tried yesterday, Your Highness, was something that was new and bold to all of us. Isn’t that right, Baron Gorneo?”

“…” Gorneo lowered his head.

Lington said, “Thank you for your help yesterday, but…”

“Enough with the formalities.” Davey cut Gorneo off and stared at Lington. He said, “Thank you for stopping the territory from getting into worse shape. It has been a huge help.”

Lington shook his hands in dismissal. “That is the very reason we are here.”

“However, it is not that I cannot trust the two of you, but looking at the disease, we cannot afford to waste any time.”

“Then, you are saying…”

“I will treat them. So please give me the right to participate in treatment activities.”

Slam!! Gorneo bolted up from his seat, exclaiming, “Absolutely not!”

“No?”

“Does this situation look like a joke to you?! Do you think they will be fine if we leave them to someone else for a few days like you want?!” Gorneo shouted.

Davey squinted. “That patient. Do you know that he would’ve died if I was two or three minutes late?”

Gorneo flinched at Davey’s question. Normally, he would’ve given them carrots and used his stick moderately, but he didn’t have the luxury, nor did he think to do that since the patients would have to be treated as soon as it was prepared.

“Let me ask again: do either of you have a way to cure this disease?” Davey asked.

“T—Then! Are you saying that you have a way, Your Highness?”

“You should at least hold onto any chance if there is one.”

“…”

“I am not trying to take away your jobs or anything. This is a territory of my kingdom, and the territory of my younger sister.”

As Gorneo glared at Davey as his tightly held fists trembled, the atmosphere soon turned extremely hostile.

“Isn’t it a good idea?” Lington just fixed his monocle, which made his sharp eyes pop, and calmly wiped the cold sweat off. It seemed like he had no intention of acknowledging the threatening atmosphere.

“Count Lington!” Gorneo shouted.

“We must face reality. It hasn’t been long since the ‘Blood of the Demon’ has spread in the Ordem Territory. It’s a relief that we acted quickly and not all the residents were affected. However…” Lington trailed off before his next question.
