46. Obtain elixir(?)

‘There are a total of 5 boxes with that green cross. Among those five, there must be an antibiotic.’

I first arrived at the nearest green cross box.

After that, I quickly opened the box.

Rattling.

Then the items inside began to quickly rise into the air. If things continue like this, everything will fly into the sky.

But there was no need to worry.

I used telekinesis magic to catch the flying items.

Afterwards, I quickly scanned the contents with my eyes.

‘Bandages, gauze, surgical knives… Tsk, that’s crap.’

It was a medicine. But it wasn’t what I wanted.

I closed the box again and quickly headed to the next box.

After that, I looked at the box again in the same way.

And this time…

Rattling.

‘Rubbing alcohol…? ‘Is this okay?’

I was able to find something pretty good. I quickly put the alcohol in my arms. After that, it flew towards another box again.

It seemed like this way we could get antibiotics before supplies ran out.

The situation went much smoother than expected.

However, there was a problem.

As it happened, two green cross boxes were located close to King Sal.

And King Sal opened one of them.

Squeak.

I could see it from afar.

I felt nervous for a moment.

‘No way… it won’t come out of there, right?’

Probably not. Then God was playing a trick on me.

And as expected, King Sal did not obtain any special items. I just got a bunch of bandages.

But was the bandage you just got a hint?

King Sal immediately threw away the nearby box and headed for another green cross box.

And began to quickly open the box.

Currently, I was holding the last green cross box in my hands. Before I knew it, I had also obtained another box.

It could be said that King Sal and I got the last one.

There was a whopping 50% chance that antibiotics would come out of King Sal’s box.

It was a very bad situation.

I watched King Sal open the box with a nervous face.

‘Please… don’t come out!’

Squeak.

But has God betrayed me?

Unbelievably, a round cylindrical object appeared in the King of Sal’s hands. It was a white cylindrical object smaller than a fist.

Churrr.

And then I heard the sound of a bunch of small objects being thrown in.

I was able to quickly concentrate mana in my ears and hear it.

I immediately hardened my expression.

‘It’s a medicine cabinet.’

It was certain.

Plus, it looked like it was full of pills.

And if it’s a medicine cabinet like that…

‘It’s very likely an antibiotic.’

To put it simply, King Sal got antibiotics. At this rate, it was almost certain.

‘damn…!’

If this were the case, it could be seen as completely ruined. It was almost impossible to find antibiotics again in the hands of that nimble king of flesh.

But I didn’t give up. It’s still too early to give up.

I quickly started opening the box in front of me.

King Sal still did not know the identity of what he was holding in his hand. He just had a puzzled expression on his face.

‘There is no way a medieval person would recognize antibiotics right away.’

And now was the opportunity. I had to quickly turn my attention away from King Sal.

I quickly opened the box and scanned the contents inside.

‘please…! Come out…!’

At that moment, I saw King Sal’s expression as he opened the medicine container.

He frowned when he saw the white pills filled in the medicine cabinet. Even though he held the antibiotic in his hand, he couldn’t recognize it.

It is probably too small and unsightly to be called a panacea.

And I was able to get what I wanted from the box I opened. I was lucky.

Oh, unfortunately it wasn’t an antibiotic.

However, it was the first item to appear in the new edition. And it was also a very good item to trick others into eating.

“This is…!!”

I shouted loudly on purpose. Then he lifted up a small orange box. It was a box slightly larger than the palm of one’s hand.

“What’s going on?”

“What did you get for that?”

“Jace! Did you get something great?”

The remaining 3rd awakeners responded to my voice.

Even King Sal looked at me.

I smiled at that sight.

After that, he opened the orange box and took out a well-made golden(?) bottle from inside the box.

The bottle was shining golden in the sunlight.

“Look at this! I think I got the Earth Elixir!”

“, elixir?!”

“Really?!”

Everyone’s eyes widened at my words.

Even the secondary awakeners below reacted in surprise.

The elixir could literally be seen as a legendary elixir. Drinking just one bottle could extend your lifespan by 10 years, and it was a miracle drug that cured all diseases.

But I said this was the elixir of the earth.

“How can you believe that?!”

Immediately, the hero’s voice was heard from below. It was a voice full of rebuttal.

And that was natural. This was the item included this time. Everyone had no choice but to know.

Even I wasn’t supposed to know.

But I immediately said this was an elixir. It felt even weirder to believe it.

However, I was a political talent that even Professor Lehmann recognized.

I immediately started making up something plausible.

“Do you see this golden, well-made bottle?”

“Yes, I admit that it looks quite luxurious. But just for that reason, you conclude that it is an elixir?”

“That can’t be possible. You can see it because you speak English too, right? Do you see it written here as Vita 800?”

“Yeah, but what does that have to do with it?”

It was like that.

I just gave him a drink that has a nourishing and tonic effect. And this was being tricked into thinking it was an elixir.

“This means that it contains as many as 800 vitamins that are difficult to find even on Earth. Of course it has to be Alice.”

“No, what does that mean… How do you know that?!”

I no longer talk to the warrior.

In fact, other people may wonder what the nonsense is. Suddenly, I was insisting that this was an elixir.

But it may be difficult because of my reputation.

Anyway, it was quite confusing. Still, it wasn’t worth going out.

Elixir was such a legendary elixir. There was no way it would appear this easily.

However, there was one person who took the situation differently.

It was King Sal.

He unconditionally believed that a panacea could be found through this portal. So, I even entered the academy myself.

But I gave him a box no matter what the disease was. And he claimed that this was the elixir of the earth.

In addition, he added some plausible words.

He will definitely feel different from others.

Additionally, what he picked up was something that looked like a small piece of white stone that seemed worthless.

But what I picked up was a liquid in a luxurious(?) bottle. From the perspective of a medieval person, he would think that what he holds in his hands is a panacea.

‘Pills like that weren’t common in the Middle Ages.’

Of course, it shouldn’t have ended here.

A performance that would attract even more attention from others was needed.

I put on an expression of anticipation.

After that, he took off the cap and started bringing the bottle to his mouth.

Here, they showed a performance of drinking elixir.

“Now, wait! If you drink that…!!”

“Jace, it’s dangerous!”

“No, what if I eat it carelessly!”

At that moment, worried voices were heard from all directions.

But voices of jealousy could also be heard. These were people who really believed this to be an elixir. I tried to drink with confidence, but I ended up being deceived.

“Don’t drink it! I will live!”

“That’s really an elixir?!”

And King Sal was also included there.

I could feel a figure quickly approaching me.

It was a very stealthy yet fast presence.

Probably, it would have been difficult to feel it under normal circumstances.

But now I felt it clearly. This was because we had prepared in advance.

‘how is it? ‘You want it, right?’

It was the presence of King Sal.

He threw the medicine box away. I could immediately see the medicine cabinet rising into the sky. I threw it away because it seemed unnecessary.

Instead, he was showing crazy greed for my Vita 800.

So he approached me to steal it.

I smiled at that sight.

Of course, others will know that you are reacting this way because of the elixir you are about to drink.

Soon, Vita 800’s unique sweet liquid began to pass over my tongue.

gulp.

It was then.

“Damage!!”

“Jace!!”

Suddenly, urgent voices were heard.

Whick!

And immediately, I could feel the elixir… no, the Vita 800 disappeared from my hand. The entire box disappeared.

“Heh…!”

I stopped drinking and looked surprised.

And I shouted loudly on purpose.

“King Sal runs away with the elixir!!”

It was quite an intentional shout. Of course, I didn’t forget to use mana to increase the sound.

And soon people responded immediately.

Everyone’s eyes turned to King Sal. And immediately some started chasing him.

Representative examples included a saint, an elf princess, and an archmage. The three flew toward King Sal at very high speed, as if competing.

And strangely enough, the warrior also chased after King Sal. It seemed like I wanted a fake elixir.

Anyway, now was my chance.

No one was interested in me right now. Everyone was watching the chase between King Sal and the third awakeners.

I secretly turned towards the back and used magic.

He used telekinesis magic.

Then, he used his telekinesis to grab the falling antibiotics and medicine cabinet.

‘Okay, success.’

The moment I got the antibiotics, I smiled with excitement.

Everything went as I planned.

There is nothing more exciting than this.

Plus, I got antibiotics.

Now I don’t have to worry about getting sick. I was free from the virus.

The Black Death, which even the Third Awakening was afraid of, was just a trivial disease to me.

‘very good.’

So I made a fool of everyone in an instant.

And I was able to get what I wanted.

It certainly seemed to me that he had a talent for scheming and politics.
