How to Live as an Illegal Healer

15. I swear on my honor

. It’s ridiculous.”

The arrogant man clicked his tongue and sat down in a chair.

“What potion are you looking for?”

“Give me anything you made.”

Wherever you go, there are true customers. Needless to say, especially if it was a terrible class society like the Azul Continent.

‘He’s an aristocratic bastard.’

The man in front of me was a son of an aristocratic family. You can tell just by looking at the colorful clothes that are incomparable to commoners.

“All I have now is this.”

Kang Seung-hyun held out a skin regeneration ointment.

“This guy made it right. You can do these trivial things by yourself.”

“sorry. young master. It is an order from the elder.”

The soldier next to the man lowered his head. The man clicked his tongue and spoke arrogantly.

“Consider it an honor. You nasty drug lord.”

I don’t know what to consider it an honor, but I decided to listen.

“I am Richard Iaref. A drug addict like you will never be able to talk for the rest of your life.”

“Iaref?”

Iarev family. It is one of the famous families in this area.

Richard is the third son of Huss Iaref, the head of the Iaref family.

“Ah~ Why did such a great person come to our store…”

There is no reason for someone from such a family to come here. It’s a tent street vendor that even adventurers, let alone aristocrats, don’t give a glance.

“Don’t you think I came here because I wanted to come? A cheeky guy who doesn’t even know the subject!”

‘I have something to say, do it quickly.’

The customers who visited the clinic were not able to come closer because of the aristocrat, and only noticed. You never know what a commoner would be like if they roamed around aristocrats.

‘It’s not enough to be abusive, even obstructing business. He really is a true grandson who has no other choice.’

What on earth is it that bothers people so much?

“Take it.”

Richard threw a sack without hesitation.

What is it?

“You don’t even know that, drug addict!”

“This is medicine.”

The poorer Richard’s soldier opened his mouth.

“It’s a material for making Tehess cure.”

“If there is a cure for Tehes, it is a disease that is caught in the Western Pollution Zone.”

“That’s right.”

Contaminated area refers to an area where normal organisms cannot live for various reasons. There is one in each region of the Azul Continent, and there is a special unit to prevent the spread of the Contaminated Zone.

Huss Iaref seems to be in charge of the Western Pollution Zone.

“The western polluted area of Tehes is experiencing very serious pollution as the soil rots and toxins are released.”

It used to be a very beautiful area, but now it has turned into a living hell where tainted monsters roam.

If an ordinary human enters Tehes without any preparation, they will either die of disease or become a tainted monster.

“The elder is punishing the contaminated monsters with the soldiers to prevent the spread of contamination.”

It seems that the body was contaminated in the process. It is commonly referred to as Tehes’ disease.

Exposure to contamination for too long is hopeless, but light contamination can be neutralized with heals and remedies.

“Because I was exposed to contamination while trying to save a subordinate…” “

In other words, the Iaref family is going to entrust me with a potion production request?”

“Yes,”

the soldier nodded. He added that he would not be disappointed with the reward.

“I don’t think it’s a job to leave it to a street vendor like this.”

It’s not like there aren’t decent pharmacists in Hind Village.

“A servant at the mansion said he received a potion here.”

It seems that one of the patients treated earlier was a servant of the Iaref family.

“To neutralize contamination, we need a semi-solid potion, not a liquid potion.”

“Contamination treatment takes a long time, so an ointment is suitable.”

It’s not that there aren’t any pharmacists in this town, but none of them know how to make semi-solid potions. That’s why it seems to be entrusting a request to a street vendor.

“The elder said he wanted to check his skills before entrusting him with a formal request.”

The sack contained ingredients to make a disposable pollution neutralization potion.

“The neutralizing agent we are using now is being made in a little far away. The elderly man wants a pharmacist who lives nearby to make it.”

If the performance of the potion you made is good, he will officially entrust you with making a potion.

“Is that so.”

Pollution neutralizer.

It’s difficult to make, but not impossible to make. Even the materials were saved over there.

‘That’s why he didn’t send just one soldier, he sent his son.’

If you’re just making a medicine, you can send a soldier or a servant. However, if you are entrusting a formal request, it is correct that the head of the household visits you directly.

‘Because the person in charge of the Adventurer’s Guild request comes directly to them.’

Right now, the Iaref family was not in a situation where the head of the family would visit them in person. If the body is contaminated, it will be difficult to move.

‘Instead, I sent the young master of the Iaref family.’

It’s such an important thing and it’s said that expectations are high.

“What a lucky guy. If you look good in my father’s eyes, he’ll open a great store instead of a street vendor like this.”

said Richard sarcastically.

“It’s a disgrace to the family if the guy who makes the medicine for the Iaref family makes it on the street.”

If that’s a disgrace, isn’t it disgraceful to entrust a request to a street vendor?

“It means that a guy like you will receive a grace that will not be enough even if he repays it for the rest of his life. What a lucky drug addict.”

In fact, the Iaref family is a family that has a lot of money and is respected by the public for defending the contaminated area.

‘If I build a relationship with these people, it will be easier to live in the future.’

An adventurer who is sponsored by an aristocrat is nothing to be afraid of unless he is a member of the royal family.

“I will make about 10 bottles in this time. What are you doing if you don’t start quickly?”

Kang Seung-hyun opened his mouth because Richard urged him so much.

“I’m sorry, but I will decline.”

“what?”

“yes?”

Both the soldier and Richard shouted in disbelief.

“What did you just say?”

“Thank you for your words, but it is not a commission I will take on.”

Leave it to a professional pharmacist.

When Kang Seung-hyun said this, Richard burst into anger.

“You are doing well on the subject. As you said, this is not a job for a street junkie like you!”

“…”

“Father just said he would give you a chance. I never said I would choose you right away, you cheeky bastard!”

That is why it is said to make medicine without questioning whether it is good or not.

However, Kang Seung-hyun listened roughly to Richard’s words and spoke.

“You misunderstood the person in the first place. I’m not a pharmacist, I’m a healer, right?”

In fact, Kang Seung-hyun used to hear a lot of sarcastic remarks about being a pharmacist. Pretending to be a healer and using only medicine.

However, Kang Seung-hyun is not a pharmacist, and most of all, being a pharmacist is not a job that others will ignore.

“what? are you a healer? It’s ridiculous.”

Richard sneered and spread his hands.

“Healing light!”

Brilliant light emanated from Richard’s hand. This man could wear heels.

“Mister Richard is in charge of treating the contamination of the elderly.”

The soldier quietly informed me.

Among the nobles, there were those who were born with the talent of a healer. Even if I don’t have to be a healer, I just don’t do it because I have a lot of money.

“Since you sold some medicine to those insignificant people, they mistakenly thought you were some kind of healer.”

Richard said with an arrogant face, scattering divine power.

“A real healer is someone like me. I’m not a guy who can’t even use heels!”

“Anyway, I have no intention of accepting the request, so please leave.”

It’s the reason Richard refuses because he’s unlucky, but there’s another real reason.

‘Because if I accept the Iarev family’s request, I’ll only have to do that job.’

Starting with the medicine for the householder and the medicine for the soldiers. Then you can earn plenty of money, but it will be difficult to earn points.

‘If I were a pharmacist, I would have accumulated points just by making potions.’

You can’t say you’ve cured someone just by making medicine. In order to earn points as a healer, you have to face patients and treat them directly.

“Are you ignoring the orders of the Iarev family?”

“Asking a healer to make medicine is no different from asking a wizard to make medicine.”

“What kind of a guy can’t even use heels…”

“Sir Seo!”

The moment Richard was about to speak, a loud voice came from behind.

“Mr. Kang!”

He is Wall, one of the Hind villagers. Wol came running with his younger brother on his back.

“What are you doing?”

“My little brother hurt his finger! Do something… please do it!”

Wall carefully put down the younger brother he had been carrying on his back. My brother had his hand wrapped in a cloth. It’s an injury you don’t even have to ask about.

“Your finger is cut off.”

“This fool must have slipped his hand earlier…”

The thing has finally arrived. A wound that heals with just a little medicine and an injury that is on a different level. Still, something that happens often.

He was a finger amputee.

In fact, finger amputation is one of the most benign cut wounds.

‘Better than the neck or limbs.’

Even when using a heel to attach the amputated body, finger treatment was very easy and there were few failures.

“I can’t see you because it’s funny.”

Richard laughed at Wall and said.

“Hey, commoner over there. This guy is not a healer. A drug dealer who sells potions.”

“Lee Richard-sama…?”

“Even if a medicine man can cure a disease or poison, what can he do with a severed finger? Don’t you know that?”

Adventurers didn’t worry too much if they cut off a finger or two.

But not common people. Cut wounds could never be cured with potions. It can only be fixed using a heal.

‘So for commoners who don’t have the money to heal, it’s no different from death. I can’t work with an injured body, so I’ll starve to death in the end.’

This is why pharmacists are treated worse than healers no matter how good they are at potion making. Because adventurers are more likely to die from amputations than diseases.

“Are you sticking to pouring some potion on the cut wound? Only a healer like me can fix this.”

“Then, Master Richard will attach it to you. Healing is excellent.”

“What do I do? Can this little bastard have the money to pay me?”

Richard said this, but in fact, money is an excuse. Even if interest pays a large amount, it will be rejected for other reasons. Noble healers don’t help commoners because they don’t want to touch their insignificant bodies.

“What if you want to ejaculate? If you want to create a contamination neutralization potion, I will treat you specially.”

“Oh is that so?”

Hearing the unexpected answer, Kang Seung-hyun realized at that moment.

‘Does this bastard need to take the potion I made?’

Richard said that he would be in great trouble if he refused the job. It was clear when I saw the aristocrat saying that he would cure the commoner.

‘There’s no way it would come out like that otherwise.’

If I can’t convince myself, will I be beaten by my father?

‘Then I have to refuse unconditionally.’

The problem is that Wol is looking at Kang Seung-hyeon with desperate eyes because of Richard’s words. If Kang Seung-hyun nodded, he would be able to attach his younger brother’s severed finger.

‘Richard must have been aiming for that too.’

Of course, Kang Seung-hyun had no intention of being fooled by Richard’s intentions.

“No, you don’t have to.”

“what? what?”

“Because I can attach it.”

He didn’t need help from a healer from the start.

Richard, red-faced, grabbed Kang Seung-hyun by the collar and shouted.

“How can a drug addict use the cut wounds!”

“Because he’s a healer.”

“Stop talking nonsense and quickly make medicine! Then I will be merciful and heal that commoner!”

“What if I put it on?”

“I don’t mind. If you really put the finger on that commoner.”

Richard pulled out the necklace he was wearing.

“I will give you this lucky necklace. Are drug addicts like you crazy?”

The luck level increases the chance of activating an additional effect. In the case of the Alchemist, you can create better and rarer potions.

As Richard said, pharmacists are coveted.

“You said it before. Because I’m a healer? I don’t need to give the pharmacist anything nice.”

In fact, it doesn’t matter if You can sell it to any shop or adventurer.

“Then I’ll give you as much money as you want.”

“The money is done.”

Seunghyun Kang said with a smile. Because I remembered what this guy would hate the most.

“You set up a tent in Hind Village for three days and do free service for the common people. As a healer.”

“what?”

“On my own without any help from anyone.”

Richard’s face crumpled.

Arrogant nobles hate being in the same room as commoners. But setting up a clinic and treating commoners? From Richard’s point of view, it must have sounded like he was told to take care of the pigs in the pigsty for three days.

“If you don’t like it, quit. By the way, I have nothing to lose.”

“Such a cheeky bastard… I like it. If you stick your severed finger on, I’ll treat the common people and treat them to meals.”

Richard said in a sarcastic voice.

“Of course, even if I died and woke up, that wouldn’t be the case.”

Kang Seung-hyeon heard those words and raised himself with a smile.

“You promised?”
