chapter 14
14 – Mad Doctor Asclepius
“Follow me”
The one who grabbed me immediately after Keiron’s declaration of joining was a pure white boy.
A sickly handsome boy with a slender body and a small physique that seems to bring out women’s motherhood.
I thought she was a girl at first, but maybe she noticed what I was thinking.
“It’s not a woman, it’s a man. If you make a mistake, you die.”
At the threat of
, I quietly put my question down my throat.
Anyway, I arrived at a lonely one-story building in the corner of the forest, led by the white guy.
The place I was taken to was a treatment center filled with the smell of rubbing alcohol and bitter herbs.
“Sit down”
The albino opened his mouth as he sat me down in the treatment chair and busily went back and forth between the shelf and the desk.
“Let me introduce myself first, my name is Asclepius. The director of this clinic.
He’s the one that battle-crazed wild boars like you see the most. Let’s see…”
“Hey…?”
“Quiet, you are concentrating”
I was afraid to say anything because the green eyes were sternly warning.
As soon as I shut my mouth, Asclepius nodded his head in satisfaction.
He brought out clean bandages, herbs, and a wooden barrel in front of me, then pulled my arm without hesitation.
“Let’s see, the bones are broken, the muscles blow up like balloons, and the legs?”
– Perfect!
Asklepios strikes his knee with a small wooden mallet.
Of course it didn’t hurt, but when my legs trembled as a reflex, I also glared at him.
The pure white Mad Doctor continued to treat her without hesitation.
“Nerus is fine. Good thing I can save some nectar.”
“Nectar?”
The drink of the famous gods in Greek mythology.
Why is that here?
“Ha, as expected, you respond to that too”
Asclepius, who was diagnosing my back, chest, stomach, etc., Smiled and explained as if he knew that.
“The drinks and food of the gods give the gods immortality. However, if a normal human eats it, they can’t handle the power and become reconciled with a handful of blood.”
However, it shows a different power to students who can enter the forest.
“It works as a kind of panacea for those who have inherited the blood of a god or are born with strong bones and are strong beyond a certain level.”
Ambrosia, the food of the gods that makes the bodies of the gods eternal, is a physical medicine that instantly heals any wound.
Nectar, the drink of the gods that immortalizes the souls of gods, is a cure for spirits that makes any pain in the soul go away.
Not only does it taste good.
Hasclepius shrugged his shoulders as if jokingly adding, and now took out potions from the ceiling and began to mix them around.
“Usually Ambrosia and Nectar cannot escape Olympus. Thanks to my father and Master Chiron’s hard work, I’m taking it little by little for treatment.”
“Oh… Is that okay for safety reasons?”
Isn’t this the forest of Chiron where all kinds of heroes gather?
A hero is synonymous with troublemakers who bring all sorts of storms.
Those guys leave the SSS-class item, which is the food of the gods, intact?
“I’d rather stick a fish in front of a cat”
“…You’re a very peculiar guy. Are you worried about security after hearing about ambrosia and nectar?”
Asclepius, who has dealt with numerous troublemakers called heroes, tilted his head as if he was very surprised by my words.
“Unexpectedly, I might be able to communicate a bit with you. The stone heads of this goddamn forest can’t even think of it that far. Drink this, this, and this, in turn.”
Asclepius sighed as he handed out some unknown pills and poisoned wine.
“Can I eat this…?”
“It’s a bit bitter for your mouth, but if you want to walk on your own two feet tomorrow, I recommend eating it.”
Still, he’s a healer, so he wouldn’t have given him something he couldn’t eat, right?
As I drank the bitter pills and the delicately flavored medicinal wine, I couldn’t help but be amazed at its effectiveness.
“What kind of drug is this?”
“Does it work?”
“Very good?”
As soon as I drank it, my swollen blood vessels, muscles, and even cracks in my bones were restored, and even the seething energy and blood were gradually stabilized.
It’s a bit less than the Demonic Cult’s Shinma Hwan or Shaolin’s Great Hwandan.
At that level, in Moorim, all the Murim people would want to buy it even if it cost gold.
“It’s good that the effect is good. But you haven’t recovered very much, so if you don’t want to get sick, calm down and sit down.”
“Oh, I see”
Even after producing such an amazing medicine, Asclepius only lamented as he poured herbs and potions into his stone mortar and pounded them.
“Words of beauty have already spread. There’s food for the gods in the infirmary. Thanks to that, there’s only sixty-three attempts to break in at night this month.
Front extortion, pickpocketing, and fraud are uncountable. Master Chiron gave a strict order, but even that could not stop the curiosity of the children of Hermes and the boars.”
“Oh…”
The tired face of this white therapist was that of an office worker tired of the surging workload and team members who were trolling recklessly.
“Of course, after giving them all terrible stomach pains and diarrhea for about a week, they calmed down.”
Look at that glistening eye. Judging by the atmosphere, it seems like a few people have already been soaked.
As expected, a guy who went to the god of medicine in Greek mythology, who said that there is no sane guy, and at that age, a guy who gives out medicines at the level of the Shaolin Great Hwandan, can’t be insane.
At the same time, he was so proficient at applying medicine and bandaging my limbs in an instant, I was just thinking that his skill was also like that of a pre-medicine god.
“First of all, I don’t need a splint because my bones aren’t very broken or broken, but my muscles and bones are a little damaged because I used too much strength, so I applied medicine and bandaged it. Don’t touch it”
“Is this the end?”
“No, I still have a question. A very important question.”
Asclepius sat in the chair across from me with a sullen smile.
The eyes that were scrutinizing me were shining like those of a madman examining a new test subject.
“Now, as the healer of this forest and Chiron’s medical agent, I ask. What is your identity?”
“What?”
When I asked a question out of the blue, Asclepius shook his head as if he knew everything.
“Ah, don’t even think about making fun of it. No matter how small the amount of ambrosia and nectar, he can digest it without feeling hot or uncomfortable.
I think there are only two of them in the world”
“Ambrosia? Nectar?”
The food of the gods who were said to be troubled by security issues earlier?
I ate that?
“Can’t it be that the medicine…?”
“Correct answer, usually Jason and Theseus also know that after eating they run out of energy, and the wild boar also has seizures because it makes them itchy.
It’s all because of the specificity of ambrosia and nectar.”
The pure white idiot began to explain calmly, as if teaching a young student.
“Ambrosia and nectar are actually more like material food. It’s convenient to see them as processed substances with a more special aura. They are very special substances that directly affect the human body and soul.”
Aura, Moorim’s aura called innate jinki or natural jinki.
Is the food and drink of the gods condensed energy?
“That disparate aura around your navel. It was not a natural body organ, but the aura gathered around it and spread out to the White Sea and circulated. Obviously according to your will.
I think the ambrosia and nectar in the medicine and wine were digested by your auras and focused on healing?”
“…..!!”
In that moment, I got goosebumps as the two lives I had lived were colorless.
With just a few touches, he noticed my Danjeon and Muryeong Singong’s bet, and skillfully fired a confirmed kill.
Is living as Dianes too relaxed? To be caught making a bet with someone else so easily.
“Perhaps it was thanks to that energy that I was able to achieve an equal number while sparring with Master Chiron… How is that possible?
Only gods whose bodies and spirits are made up of auras, or monsters who were born and born, can operate the aura as naturally as breathing.
As you have a physical body, you collect and use the aura inside your body.
Hercules, even that guy barely raises his aura with spirit.”
Ki exists in this world as well.
Aura, called aura, is the exclusive property of mighty monsters, gods, and heroes who were born with the lineage of those gods.
However, in light of Asclepius’ words, it means that there can be no existence other than a god or a monster who can freely handle qi like the qigong I learned.
“Very… Amazing. Are you…”
Dark green eyes that innocently shine with madness, like a child looking for a fun toy.
Those eyes were eyes I knew well.
Gong Son-yeon, the Demon Goddess.
I heard that he turned on the light in his eyes and attacked, asking what kind of musculature he was born with to be able to remain intact even after inheriting the Jinmagi of the Twelve Gods like me.
Could a woman and a member of the Demonic Cult sneak into the Heavenly Demon’s bedroom and try to draw her blood?
‘Then, after taking plenty of other things out of my body, I calmed down a bit.’
Aside from that, do medical students and people who practice medicine have such a passive insanity?
How come the better your skills, the better the taste.
“Anyway, if you don’t tell me straight up here, I might have to tell my father about it. A human who is neither a god nor a monster can handle the aura freely. Maybe it will be the seed of a great disaster…”
By the way, I couldn’t help but laugh at the menace of the fool in front of me.
“Pufufu, puhhahahahaha!”
I was surprised by my reaction, and the albino’s eyes widened as he laughed darkly like a mad scientist.
No way, did you mean to threaten me?
“Heh heh, where are you going to do such a bad thing, our albino?”
“White…What?”
Let’s see. If the albino father is Apollo, the god of medicine?
“Maybe you know?”
“…What?”
I laughed at the albino who couldn’t keep his mouth shut because he was dumbfounded.
You bastard. Do you think you ate the heavenly devil?
It’s all done.
