90. If only a cure could be developed…!

“Isn’t this something you should go out for?”

“You don’t have to worry about the princess. It’s a problem that that great saint can solve.”

“Uh huh. Lord Baine! It is not right to speak to a saint like that!”

“That… Sigh, sorry.”

“Mom, that driver got scolded again.”

“Sseu-eup! Anna! Come here quickly!”

Currently I am at the academy.

And this was our house.

But there were strange(?) people in the house.

It was the princess, Fritz, and Anna and her mother.

First of all, it wasn’t strange that the princess and Fritz were together.

The two came to Trier to investigate the Abyss problem.

And now, this disease is clearly related to the Abyss.

But, I cured that illness. In addition, suspicious water was found.

Of course, it had no choice but to cling to me.

On the other hand, I had no choice but to bring Anna and her mother.

Should I say, more accurately, that I was hired to play the role of a maid?

‘They both became so famous.’

The two were known to have received healing directly from God. Plus, there was a beautiful story.

Naturally, all kinds of people latched on. Because of this, a dangerous situation arose.

Fortunately, nothing serious happened thanks to the help of people nearby, but we couldn’t keep him in that shack.

Plus, I also needed someone to manage the mansion. This was because there was not enough time to manage the mansion alone.

To put it simply, I was in a situation where I needed help.

‘The academy also said it was okay to have up to four employees.’

It could be seen as a privilege for those who use the special room.

Anyway, I also needed it, so I hired them both. I could tell he wasn’t hired just out of sympathy.

Of course, they were both very satisfied. He had moved from living in a back alley to a neat mansion. If you didn’t like it, that was even weirder.

Anyway, perhaps because the number of people suddenly increased, the inside of the house became quite noisy.

But this wasn’t even a problem.

Now I had a bigger problem than that.

Just now, a loud sound from far away was ringing in my ears.

-Saint!!

-Saint, please save us!!

-He is a saint!! Please save my husband!!

-My child is sick! Please save me!!

Before we knew it, there were a lot of people in Trier suffering from the flu disease. The disease did not get better, but the number of infected people continued to increase.

But in such a situation, rumors about the saint spread. Perhaps because there were more than one person who actually witnessed the miracle, the credibility was quite high.

Of course, people couldn’t stay still.

So, I came to the front of the academy and shouted my name.

And that number alone was over a thousand people.

The sound could be heard all the way to my house, so I knew how many there were.

“I… saint. Don’t you have to go out?”

I looked worried for a moment at the princess’s words.

But he soon shook his head.

“No.”

“Seo, saint!”

The princess’s surprised voice was heard. Of course, it seemed like they thought I would save them.

Of course, a true saint would have saved them all.

But I was no saint.

He didn’t have the personality of a saint, nor did he have that kind of ability.

‘We can’t save them all.’

There were now over a thousand people gathered at the main gate of the academy. Many people were being harmed by their voices.

It’s a good thing the lecture was interrupted, otherwise it would have been a big problem.

Of course, it is true that it is still difficult.

There are probably quite a few academy students who find me uncomfortable.

‘But I can’t help it.’

I didn’t have many antibiotics. It wasn’t enough to save them all.

Moreover, even if we rescue them, it becomes a problem.

‘Probably, more people will flock.’

This will continue to repeat itself until the disease itself disappears. Of course it wasn’t good for me.

That’s why I was only at the academy.

Probably, the moment you leave the academy, great confusion will occur.

‘Everyone will make a fuss trying to touch my body.’

By the way, the princess did not know about this situation.

That’s why he had a confused face.

‘If it had been the original, it would have been quite difficult.’

I couldn’t think of any excuse anymore. Even my brain had its limits.

But there was no need to come up with an excuse.

There were better numbers than that.

I changed my expression. He had a pious expression, like a priest.

And then he spoke in a serious voice.

“It’s all God’s will.”

“Si, God…”

“Yes. So, believe it.”

“Oh, I understand.”

I took advantage of her great faith. Now she really knew me as a saint. Perhaps that’s why this move worked well.

At that time, I saw Fritz with narrowed eyes next to me.

He still gave me a suspicious look.

Anyway, there were as many suspicions as there was a dirty personality.

I ignored his gaze.

And soon I was ready to go down to the basement. There was work to do inside.

“No, what are you going to do by going down again…!”

“Uh-huh! Lord Baine!”

Fritz immediately rebelled at the sight of me, but was quickly subdued by the princess.

“Purple… Can you tell me what you’re going to do when you go down to the basement?”

He gritted his teeth and couldn’t help but ask me a question in a polite manner.

of course…

“You don’t have to know.”

Of course there was no way I could answer.

“Suddenly…!”

Soon the sound of teeth grinding was heard from Fritz’s mouth again. If I did that, my teeth would quickly wear out.

“Wow…! Interesting! The sound keeps coming out of this!”

“You…! Don’t be quiet!”

“Uh-huh! What if I yell at a child? That’s not what a knight looks like!”

“Well, that is…”

I enjoyed watching Fritz get scolded by the princess.

Then, with a brighter face, he walked towards the basement.

It’s nice to be alone, but sometimes being crowded doesn’t seem to be a bad thing.

‘That’s strange. ‘Is it because I’m older?’

***

In the basement.

There was a secret basement in our house.

To be more precise, it would be correct to think of it as a laboratory.

In fact, it felt similar to a laboratory on Earth. White desk and chair, various equipment, beakers, flasks, etc. on a white background.

Even to a modern person, it looked like it could be mistaken for a laboratory.

And there was one person busy working here.

“Huh…! They made something great.”

It was quite impressive to see her speaking like an old man with a girl’s face.

It was my teacher.

Currently, Master was examining a liquid using his microscope magic.

To be precise, I was looking at the water I had drawn from the well a few days ago.

I received help from Master in this matter as well.

Of course, Master should not have been left out of such an important issue.

However, it wasn’t free either.

‘Sweet, there’s nothing I can do.’

The number of infected people had already increased significantly in just a few days.

There were quite a few people suffering from the disease here at the Royal Academy.

It was much faster than expected. As the number of infected people increased, the rate was increasing rapidly.

If things continued like this, the whole of Trier was going to be hit by an epidemic. It was a pretty serious problem.

That is why I received help from Master.

‘But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a way.’

However, did they say that even rat holes have sunny days?

That’s exactly what the situation is like now.

Currently, I have found microorganisms that cause viruses at the edge of a well.

And I was conducting various experiments with my teacher. It was all to create a new drug that could kill microorganisms.

‘There’s no need for antibiotics. ‘I just need to be able to kill those microorganisms.’

Of course it wasn’t poisonous. Although it was harmless to humans, it had to kill only those microorganisms.

Soon, I saw Master drop a drop of blue liquid onto the microorganism.

Knock.

And I watched the progress with a very serious expression.

of course…

“Hmm, this is also a failure. This guy has quite strong vitality.”

Unfortunately, it failed. I didn’t know how many times this was already. It seemed like he was something that Abyss had deliberately created.

Still, it wasn’t that there was no hope.

I gave the following ingredients to Master.

“Here is mud goat horn powder.”

“Oh! This precious thing? This might work. But where did you get all these precious ingredients? Are you a disciple?”

“Hmm, I usually collect it whenever I have time.”

“Ho, I thought you only cared about swordsmanship…”

Master looked at me with a proud face.

Of course, my conscience pricked me a little.

In fact, all of those ingredients were contained in the archmage’s space pocket.

If my thoughts are correct, the red-haired archmage I saw last time was the culprit of this incident.

And I had taken possession of the criminal’s warehouse of materials.

Naturally, there was a high probability that this pocket contained material related to the virus.

‘If you check them one by one, something good will come out.’

This is why I said there was hope. Even though it would take time, it seemed like a cure could be created someday.

Of course, the faster it could be made, the better. That’s why I received help from my teacher.

Plus, as I said before, this was an opportunity.

‘What if I create a cure…?’

Then, you will truly gain great fame.

A city had been saved.

And this wasn’t just Trier’s problem.

If this continues, the disease could spread to other cities.

Just like the Black Death in the Middle Ages.

If you look at it that way, it could be said that they saved the Newpan continent.

‘Few people will think that far… but you will still gain tremendous respect and fame.’

Combined with the reputation of the saint he currently has, it will create tremendous synergy.

Perhaps it will become difficult for anyone to treat me carelessly?

Even if it is a king, emperor, or pope.
