Doctor Player Chapter 467 – Gaiden 15

Far away.

I saw a beautiful woman wrapped in a bloody haze.

It was an alluring woman with a snake-like impression, but Raymond could notice at once that she was the incarnation of Newbweera.

It was a strong presence.

“Meet the incarnation of Newbwira, the great mother of our vampires.”

The vampires bowed their heads.

New Bweera is their enemy, but at the same time, it seems to be showing respect because it also becomes the progenitor.

[Are you still stubborn?]

“… … .”

Rudian bit his lip hard.

I could see the other vampires agitated.

[That’s stupid. At this rate, your clan will not be able to escape destruction. Or.]

The incarnation of Newbwira looked away.

It was towards Raymond.

The incarnation of New Bwira twisted the corner of her mouth as if laughing.

[Do you want the emperor of those humans to perform a miracle?]

“… … !”

The Sword Saint, the trio, and Raina surrounded Raymond as if escorting them from the front.

‘You know me?’

Raymond made an unexpected face.

He did not expect that a being from a foreign continent would know him.

[Raymond. Emperor of Poverty. His noble character to the point of becoming poor for the sake of others spreads even to our outer continent.]

The incarnation of New Wira let out a laugh.

[But if you think that the emperor of poverty can solve my curse, I’ll say it’s a big mistake.]

“… … !”

[Since you’re human, you won’t be able to recognize the true nature of my curse.]

More than a human.

It was an incomprehensible word.

Then an unexpected situation happened.

“your majesty! I will offer the head of that evil tribe!”

The self-proclaimed Empire’s greatest swordsman.

With his gray hair flying, he rushed at Hwasin like a flash war.

The Sword Master, who closed the distance in the blink of an eye, swung his sword.

Dig!

A strong aura split the body of an incarnation!

Raymond widened his eyes.

‘Did it hurt?’

However, Hwashin’s body was scattered like smoke and then gathered again. It looked like he wasn’t hurt at all.

[Unfortunately, this body is only an illusion like a shadow, so it doesn’t take any damage.]

The incarnation’s body became blurry.

is about to disappear

[I’ll be back in 3 days. If you don’t make the right decision by then,]

the incarnation of Newbweera coldly declared.

[My curse will lead you to complete destruction.]

After the incarnation disappeared, a heavy silence fell again.

* * *

Raymond clenched his fists.

‘It has to be resolved within three days.’

There was no time.

‘Three days is the psychological limit set by Newbweera.’

Even so, among the vampires, the opinion of surrendering to Newbwira was getting stronger.

If Raymond doesn’t find a solution by the end of three days, the vampires will kneel to Newbweera even if Ludian dissuades them.

‘no. I have to stop it.’

If the vampires are subjugated to New Bwira, it will bring terrible results to the Iron Empire and the vampires.

‘Maybe he was a member of the Elyos who corrupted the grand duke named Newbwi.’

The situation was pitiful.

Since they are both lords of chaos in the outer continent, it could have been working hand in hand.

‘We need to find out the identity of the curse. This is highly likely to be some kind of immunocompromised disease. That’s for sure.’

Among the infections seen in some of his patients, Raymond noted fungal infections.

‘People with normal immunity don’t get infected with fungi.’

Looking at it, it was clear that this was a symptom of an immune deficiency.

‘But what if not AIDS?’

Immunocompromised diseases, other than AIDS, are extremely rare genetic diseases that inhibit bone marrow function.

Raymond tested for every possible disease that could compromise immune function, but found none.

‘why?’

At that time, Linden, wearing a protective suit, approached Raymond with a troubled expression.

“Your Majesty, I have a patient to consult with.”

“huh?”

“There are patients with symptoms that I don’t understand… … .”

Raymond looked at the patient Linden was talking about with a puzzled face.

“I have hemorrhagic fever, and I am showing delirium neurological symptoms and shock.”

“however? These symptoms can often come together.”

“Strangely, there is necrosis on the skin. Quite a few patients show the same symptoms.”

Raymond frowned.

‘what?’

Hemorrhagic fever is accompanied by many different symptoms.

However, hemorrhagic fever with skin necrosis was extremely rare.

A disease popped up in Raymond’s mind.

‘Ebola hemorrhagic fever!’

It was a plague that had been famous for some time on modern Earth.

The Ebola hemorrhagic fever could cause symptoms exactly like those of these patients now.

‘The test results, such as leukopenia, are also similar to those of the Ebola virus. But why the Ebola virus?’

Raymond made an incomprehensible face.

If you have an immune deficiency, you will suffer from all kinds of infections that normal people do not get.

An opportunistic infection is also known as a fungal infection.

‘But it’s not like you get an infection you haven’t come into contact with. Why did I get symptoms of Ebola hemorrhagic fever when I didn’t even come into contact with host bats?’

That was the moment I thought about it.

Raymond’s body stiffened.

‘for a moment.’

flashing words.

‘bat… … Called?’

Ebola virus originates in bats.

In other words, if the first infected person did not come into contact with the bat, he would never get it.

‘Come to think of it, I’ve had contact with bats.’

Raymond swallowed.

‘In the first place, vampires are bats!’

He remembered the first time Princess Ludian came to him. She had turned into a bat then.

In other words, vampires, like Mien, were a sub-species of bats.

Raymond then realized what he was missing.

‘I should have approached it from the standards of sub-species, not humans.’

The words left behind by the incarnation of Newbweera came to mind.

‘As long as he is human, he will not be able to recognize the true nature of my curse.’

There was a hint in those words.

The sub-species were similar to humans, but different.

The anatomical structure was also slightly different, and the physiology of the body was also slightly different.

‘Immune action will be similar to humans, but different. I have to figure out the difference.’

However, Raymond soon put on a puzzled expression.

No one in the world has studied what vampire immunity is like. Of course, not even on the modern Earth.

Now I have to do a new study, but I didn’t have time for that.

‘no. There’s no need to figure out vampire immunity. Knowing what immune system bats have might give us a clue.’

Beast races share many physical characteristics with their parent animals.

Vampires probably have many similarities with bats.

Fortunately, on modern Earth, there was a field of study specializing in the immune system of bats and other animals.

‘Skill Purchase: ‘Basic Veterinary Medicine!”

[You have acquired the medical skill ‘Basic Veterinary Medicine!’]

[You will learn the basic knowledge of veterinary medicine!]

It was a skill I hadn’t learned because I didn’t need it until now.

Along with acquiring the skill, various basic knowledge about the animal’s physiology, anatomy, and immune system came into his head, and Raymond swallowed his saliva.

“… … It was this.”

A single word escaped Raymond’s mouth.

“Interferon.”

* * *

Interferon.

It is a substance secreted by cells when an infection occurs, suppressing the proliferation of infectious agents and helping the body’s immune response.

Raymond named this protein because of its immune properties in bats.

‘The way bats maintain immunity is to have high concentrations of interferon in their bodies.’

Bats are hosts of all kinds of infectious agents.

It was even said that most of the newly prevalent diseases on the modern Earth originated from bats.

However, bats only serve as hosts and are not affected by the infectious agent.

‘Thanks to interferon. Interferon, which is always maintained at a high concentration, suppresses the proliferation of infectious agents, so there is no harm.’

If vampires had the same immune properties as bats, it was highly likely that this interferon had a problem.

‘But I can’t check the interferon level.’

Raymond made a puzzled face.

A magic tool was created to check immune function, but there was no function to check interferon levels.

Because it wasn’t a problem for humans in general.

‘There is only one way to check if my thoughts are correct. You should try interferon.’

Interferon is also used as a medical treatment.

Fortunately, Raymond had a way to produce interferon.

‘I can use the alchemist’s knowledge.’

He looked at the assistant job column in the status window.

[Medical Alchemist.]

It was a newly acquired assistant job while leveling up.

He used the skills of the Medical Alchemist.

[Used the skill ‘Making Medicine with Alchemy!’]

[Alchemy goal is ‘Interferon’!]

[Analyze the Alchemy difficulty level of ‘Interferon’! The difficulty level is ‘Upper’!]

[It takes justification to gain the knowledge of alchemy hidden in the truth of the world! ‘Sublime’ for others is needed!]

[Pledge to donate 5 million pena depending on the level of pension difficulty!]

“… … .”

Raymond was silent for a moment.

‘Why on earth do I have to pay to get knowledge of pensions?’

Actually, this skill was amazing.

This is because if there is a medicine you want, it will tell you the alchemy method so that you can make it with Leifentaina’s alchemy.

By the way, the anti-cancer medicine administered to Archduke Rembrandt was made with this skill, so Raymond was able to implement numerous medicines.

But there was a problem.

‘Why is the price of money! why?! why!’

The system gave a nasty explanation.

[Revealing the truth of pension is subject to the constraints of causality! Therefore, in order to avoid restrictions, that justification and sublimity for others is necessary!]

It was a reason I had heard several times.

‘Noisy! It’s too expensive though!’

Is it a victim consciousness? It seemed that the system was secretly laughing while explaining that.

Raymond wanted to grab the system by the collar.

The amount requested was not light.

Even Raymond, a rich debtor of 100 million pence, demanded a shockingly high price.

‘Each one of them is knowledge that gives great financial gain, but it’s too much!’

I couldn’t help it because they didn’t give me even a pena.

Raymond swallowed tears as he read about interferon alchemy.
