It was not possible to ask patients to come in separate groups, taking into consideration the circumstances of the treatment center.

Anyone would feel that my wounds are the most painful and serious.

Besides, it’s probably been quite some time since they were injured.

‘There is also time to escape from the labyrinth.’

Inside the labyrinth, the alchemist would have used medicine he made in a hurry to treat his injuries.

‘Is this a wound that will get better if I apply ointment?’

But since it’s not a wound that can be cured by applying ointment, it would be great if it just acts as a hemostatic agent.

Everyone must have felt uncomfortable because the wounds were left untreated for a long time.

You might also want to know if you are okay.

So it was natural that I wanted to get proper treatment as soon as I got out.

“They’re here, they’re here. Oh my! There are so many.”

“I slept a lot today.”

“Oh, Sun God… . Give me the strength to overcome.”

Even though we had prepared in advance, the treatment center became crowded in an instant due to the lack of time.

Waggle Waggle-

“Patients with bone problems, come here!”

“This person’s condition is a bit serious. Can this person be treated first?”

“This side is about to gasp for breath! Wait a minute! How have you been holding it in like this all this time?!”

“I held out by drinking the potion, you know.”

“Is this the time to be talking like that so peacefully?! Arthur, please call the priest!”

“Father Arthur!!!”

I hear voices calling me from all directions.

“Priest, please look after this patient!”

It wasn’t just one person, but several people, each with a different patient, calling me.

I was in charge of patients in areas that priests were not (or could not) take charge of, and because of that, I heard voices desperately looking for me from all directions.

There are other senior healers, so I wondered why I was the only one doing this, but I also thought that if I didn’t do it, who would?

‘Did you anticipate this situation and cram your knowledge into it?’

Would I have been able to handle this task well today if it weren’t for the knowledge that was hastily crammed into me in my dream?

No, in the end, I would have just stamped my feet because I lacked knowledge.

‘I wondered why you gave it all to me at once…’

Don’t doubt.

There is a hidden meaning in everything he does.

I offered a short prayer, feeling gratitude and respect for his greatness and consideration.

Of course, it was a simple prayer that I recited in my head.

Because right now my body had to move busily to treat at least one more person.

“I’m here! Now I’ll do it!”

“Whew~ I’m alive. Please take care of me.”

They take out the patients one by one.

“Next patient!”

“Yes! Please take care of this person here. He was bitten by a bug, and he doesn’t look well.”

“Oh my, your skin is rotting.”

“Ugh… It hurts so much. Please save me.”

I don’t know how time passes.

He treated patients with utmost care.

Even though I’ve treated dozens of patients, people still call me from all directions.

It’s amazing how they managed to get through the labyrinth like this.

What was surprising was that many people who should have collapsed long ago have held on without collapsing until now.

‘Are these people zombies?’

It is abnormal for a normal person to have held out until now when he should have already died and no longer needed treatment.

‘Well, it’s a good thing he didn’t die.’

Let’s think that what’s good is good.

The fact that the patient is holding up well means that even if you are busy and going crazy right now, if you take it one step at a time, you can solve all your problems.

“Actually, I didn’t want to come because I thought it would be okay. But if I hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have been able to open my eyes tomorrow morning.”

“That’s right. You shouldn’t ignore it just because it doesn’t hurt. On the contrary, it’s really scary in such cases. If you’re sick, you think you should go get treatment, but if you’re not sick, you can’t think like that.”

Today, I gave a compliment and a nagging word to a patient who would have died if it weren’t for me, and then moved on to the next patient.

While treating patients so diligently.

“Arthur, junior, I think I should come for a moment.”

“Yes! What are your symptoms?”

“No, that’s not it. Someone came looking for you, junior. They were looking for the person in charge.”

“?”

I tilted my head in confusion when I heard that the person in charge here had called me for business.

Surely you don’t know that I’m super busy right now, so it doesn’t make sense that you have to run over to me when someone calls you.

“I can’t leave my seat right now. What should I do?”

“You absolutely must go.”

“Yes? Unconditionally?”

“Yes.”

Father Chilan urged the patient to leave more firmly than ever.

‘Is this really someone serious?’

At that moment, Father Chilan came close to my ear and whispered.

“They say that I am sent by Princess Canavi of the Deltrak Empire. You must go no matter what.”

“!!”

It was clear why Father Chilan had urged him to go quickly.

“Still, I have to see the patient I was seeing. I hope you understand that much.”

How can you just say simple words when there is a patient in pain right in front of you?

Moreover, this patient’s injury was not something that could be left to someone else.

◎ ◎ ◎

There were more seriously ill patients than I thought, so I couldn’t ignore them and treated them, so I ended up going to the place that Father Chilan had mentioned later than I thought.

Upon entering, two knights who looked like they could wield a sword incredibly well were sitting upright.

Perhaps because he had been waiting for a long time, the expression on his face as he looked at me was not very good.

“I’m sorry for keeping you waiting. I couldn’t move right away because I was seeing patients.”

“… Are you the person in charge?”

“Yes, I am the person in charge.”

I guess it’s because I’m young that I’m a little suspicious.

“This is an urgent matter, so let me get straight to the point. Please recommend the person with the best treatment skills here.”

“Can you tell me what kind of illness you have?”

Even if I asked them to recommend a good therapist, it wasn’t easy because each person was in charge of a different area.

“Just recommend the person with the best skills.”

“To introduce you to the best person, we need to know what kind of disease it is. Each priest is best at handling different kinds of diseases.”

The knights exchanged glances in embarrassment.

I knew you’d give me a recommendation if I asked you, but I didn’t know you’d be so picky.

Still, I had no intention of changing my words.

In the end, it was the knights who won.

“… I would like someone who is skilled in treatment such as detoxification or purification.”

“Ah-!”

Why does it have to turn out like this?

“Okay, let’s go.”

“Yes?”

“I’m an expert in that field.”

“… … .”

It is full of knowledge that God has generously given us.

“Where should I go?”

“Ahem, they are waiting nearby.”

A knight with a somewhat deceived expression guided me.

What the article said was true.

As I left the temple, I was able to meet someone who was waiting for me in the building right next door.

“Brought to you.”

“Come in.”

◦Please go inside %◦”

I opened the door the knight had opened for me and went inside, where a woman was sitting in a dark room.

Why aren’t you turning on the light?

First, I went inside, hesitantly.

“You are… a sphere.”

Even in the dark, she managed to recognize my face.

“Yes. I didn’t think I’d see you again, but here we are, Princess Kanabi.”

Princess Canabi, who left a bewildering impression on me.

The first time we met, he threw a white envelope at me out of the blue, so I had a very deep impression on him.

I had a feeling that the injured person might be Princess Canabi.

Seeing her secretly seeking a therapist also made me guess that her wounds would be very deep.

“First, let me diagnose you. Is that okay?”

Without wasting too much time, I decided to check on Princess Canabi’s condition first.

“Yeah.”

“What symptoms do you have?”

Princess Canabi took a moment to collect her thoughts and then spoke.

“I guess I should show you this first.”

She untied the bandages wrapped around her left arm without hesitation.

Honestly, even after taking off the bandage, I couldn’t see well because the surroundings were dark.

But if you put a little bit of divine power in your eyes, the dark night becomes no problem at all.

Even if you can’t use it for a long time, it’s possible to check for injuries briefly.

“I hope you’ll understand that I can’t turn on the light. My head hurts too much.”

“Does the pain get worse when exposed to light?”

“What should I say… .”

Princess Canabi said after pondering whether it would be easy to explain.

“Yeah, it gets worse. You can see it more clearly.”

Can you see it?

Do you hate seeing wounds?

“Hmm, your arm color is purple.”

“Yes. It got darker and darker after I got hurt.”

“How long has it been like this?”

“14 days.”

“You held on strong.”

“If it weren’t for this injury, I would have stayed in the labyrinth a little longer. It’s a shame.”

“Good for you to come back. It looks serious. Let me diagnose it.”

She held her left arm in her hand and concentrated.

‘Let me see, what is your identity?’

The diagnosis was quite shocking.

“This is….”

“Is it serious?”

Princess Canabi saw the ominousness in my hardened expression.

“It doesn’t seem to be a simple poison.”

“If not poison, then what?”

“It’s a curse.”

“… Curse? Are you talking about the curse that witches use?”

Princess Canabi couldn’t hide her bewilderment.

“The monster made me like this.”

“That’s right. That’s amazing. I guess monsters can use curses too.”

Although it is tied to the curse field, this is completely different from the curses used by witches.

Their curses cannot torment people so viciously.

“The most important thing is whether it can be fixed. Is it possible?”

“Did you kill the monster that put this curse on you?”

“No, unfortunately I missed it.”

I expected that monster to be alive.

The knowledge of this curse came to mind, and if the bastard were dead, the problem would be solved.

“Then there is no way to fix it. This is a curse that can only be lifted if the one who cast the curse dies.”

“!!”
