Chapter 36 (1/2)

“Truly inexcusable”

“Please, take no notice of it”

I s at each other inside the residence of the Eicher family

Right after the last incident, they got around to asking “By the ho are you?” then Georg and Michael began to introduce themselves It seemed to take a little under twenty h

Taking notice ofalone and still at the entrance, everyone rushed to apologize

I wasn’t angry However, I was envious of how quickly the boys became friendly with each other

More important was the “medicine” Master Julius had mentioned

I pro explained it toon airs

This is what happened Abelow Master Julius had chanced upon it

While he was staying in a Nebel port city, a sailor staying at the sah fever

When the merchant first heard of it, however, he had no interest because it was nothing out of the ordinary If a voyage was long, naturally the body’s health declined, and those who fell ill were to no small extent few Since the season was Winter, it was likely a cold

At best, a few days would see the sailor recovered

That merchant’s expectations were half-on point, half-off

The next day the fever quickly broke, and the sailor seeain two days later

The physician had prescribed an antipyretic, but it was practically ineffective, and the sailor became noticeably weaker

That hen the physician realized it was not a common cold, but it was the first ti the symptoms It hen everyone believed the worst that aid came from the most unexpected places

Coincidentally, a foreign shi+p had docked at port to avoid a storm, and when one of its sailors heard the story, he delivered a medicine to the physician He had seen the symptoms before

With a word of caution, seven days’ worth of spare medicine were left with the physician, and it seems like he departed when the storm broke

Taking the words of the foreign sailor to heart, the physician and his associate frantically nursed their patient

In the end, the splendid fever lowered, and the illness was cured

Master Julius’s subordinate thought this an undoubtedly incredible ht the remainders

However, this here the problem stood in their way

Like Georg had mentioned previously, the raw materials, production method, production site were all unknown There was no technology that could possibly analyze its properties like the modern world, even if they had the actual product at hand

If the port entry logs were searched, the kingdon shi+p with the key individual would probably be revealed, but finding that him was next to impossible

Even if he was found, getting in touch with hiain take time On top of that, the physician said that it seems the sailor himself had inherited it from someone else

Everything was against us, was exactly what it meant

“It’s a o by As a commodity and an item with unknown properties, it would take a vast a said with a sigh

Master Julius smiled wryly

“And there you have it, turned down for such a feeling”

“It is not that I do not trust your judgo after now Handling it while we are in theposes too much risk”

That was the biggest proble, soe risk of expending a lot of money

Even if ive up

So of the ga choices were being laid in front of ht now

Whether I searched or gave up, the future will change I had a feeling I was standing on a turning point

“May I hold it…?”

“Go ahead”

Pere on top of the table Even looking at it frohtest idea by what means it was made

I tried s it while it was in my hand, but it was faint Compared to traditional Chinese medicine, it was an alrance of the earth or plants That was all I got

I’ve had a lot of opportunities to come into contact with , but I rong I was completely in the dark

I eary of s, but even if I planned to becos of a jack of all trades, master of none

Unconsciously, I alhed

“………?”

Noticing so in the corner ofat the medicine with keen interest

“Would you like to see?” I asked spontaneously, and he nodded

After I handed over the

“Master Julius Georg”

“Yes?”

“What is it?”

Looking at the two, for a moment, I was filled with indecision

If, I began to say, and stopped I wasn’t asking a favor fro

I blinked once Taking a deep breath, I began again

“Will you sell this medicine to me?”

“………”

Georg’s eyes opened wide, and Master Julius’s expression changed

“In the palace there are wizards and apothecaries They have inal I think they could examine it and offer advice Of course, I will also look into the harbor’s logs”

“You ate it?”

“Yes”

If I tried and discovered a clue, then I could try to cootiate with these two But, a business deal with so many uncertain factors can’t be called a deal

It boiled down to simple selfishness

“May I ask for your reasons?” asked Georg

His clear amethyst eyes looked hard at me

“Our kingdom will continue to have diplodo the shi+ps of faraway kingdoin to suffer from the same illness si on the circumstances, it’s not unlikely for others to become infected”

Going by Georg’s story, it inter when that sailor came doith illness
