The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 422
Episode 422 The Friendly Killer’s Dilemma (1)
– Hahahaha? Haaaa…?
I am worried.
I didn’t want this.
Actinus, a member of the family of plague made from the skeleton of a baby dragon, flashed worried eyes.
– Haaah… Sigh…!
At first, I was just happy.
A human who smells like a dragon. However, he was a person who was difficult to approach. No, a person that was too difficult to even find.
But we met today.
After many twists and turns, we met.
I was just so happy. So I just approached with a happy heart. I just followed closely behind. I passed through the complex alleys of the city, ran down the main street, and finally came into a cramped mine.
I was excited for the first time in a while. Let’s go ahead or behind together. The inside of the mine was cramped, but it was just as thrilling. It was a bit risky because we couldn’t see each other clearly due to the thick dust.
Plus, playing tag with a running iron cart! I couldn’t even imagine such a thing. I didn’t even expect it. So I actually tried it and it exceeded my expectations. It was so much fun. happy. I even felt a sense of liberation as I ran freely along the iron cart carrying a welcome human.
Ah, if only I could play with that person like this forever.
How good would it be then?
Just thinking about it made my heart feel warm. The radiation emitted also seemed to gain more strength.
I was happy. I was excited. So I got excited without even realizing it. Perhaps it was because the structure of the vertical shaft made it even more exciting. I took a leap impulsively. So I jumped down the shaft and tapped the back of the iron cart.
– Haha….
Now that I think about it, it wasn’t like that. I had to first think about how strong I was and how unstable the iron cart that ran on the rails was.
But I couldn’t.
I ended up doing something.
The iron cart that was touched was unable to withstand the speed and inertia at which it was running and derailed. It flew away. My core collapsed. I hurriedly stretched out my hand and tried to grab it. But I couldn’t reach it. Failed.
So I had no choice but to stare in despair. The sight of the iron cart being blown away and crashing into the inner wall of the cavity. Meanwhile, the sight of a welcome human being thrown out of a steel cart and rolling around on the floor. Even the appearance of suffering.
– Sigh…!
Sorry. Sorry. I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean to do that. are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere? Are you out of your mind? Is there any pain anywhere? What can I do for you? Shall I help you? Can you get up? Aren’t you dizzy?
There were many things I wanted to ask. I was so worried. I was sorry. I wanted to hide somewhere right away. But that shouldn’t be the case. It’s clearly your fault. Because of this, welcome humans suffered and were injured. So you shouldn’t avoid it. You must take responsibility until the end. Because that would be exemplary behavior for a well-mannered dragon child.
– Saaaaaaaaaaaa?
Actinus approached Raquiel cautiously. I lowered my body as slowly as possible. I tried to match eye level. I felt like that would give me a better view of the welcome human condition. I was nervous. I felt like my core was going to crack. But I persevered. I approached the welcome human more cautiously.
Thanks to this, Rachiel was shocked.
‘…omg.’
crazy.
Why is this guy like this?
Rachiel swallowed dry saliva, feeling like she was clutching her heart that was about to sink. And then I looked up with trembling eyes. I could see it through the special glasses attached to the helmet.
A monstrous bone dragon that emits radioactivity. He was just three steps ahead. In terms of meters, the distance was a little over 1 meter. It was jumping forward, 100% reachable if I stretched out its hand, and was looking straight at me with its huge chin resting on the floor.
“….”
scary.
To be honest, I almost got tired of being in the shielding armor. My heart was pounding randomly. Should I run away right now? Let’s take a little step back. It was as if the survival instinct was pulling one ear and shouting loudly. Run. If you want to survive, move now.
On the other hand, reason suppressed that survival instinct. It seemed like if I moved carelessly, it would be stimulated and start attacking. When I thought about that, I couldn’t move a single finger. My breath came out slowly.
‘What do we do?’
I couldn’t be happier that I was wearing a helmet. The eye rolling will be hidden by the helmet and special glasses, so he won’t be able to see it.
I shook my head desperately.
I tried my best to understand the guy’s expression.
The more I thought about it, the more ridiculous a hypothesis suddenly occurred to me.
‘Strange. Why don’t you attack? ‘Why are you just looking at me?’
It was really strange.
On the one hand, it was strange.
Strangely enough, the bone dragon that came right in front of me did not attack at all. Just quietly look at this side. Or, they just tilt their heads slightly as if they are worried and let out a low cry.
‘Could it be that they are checking the liver?’
That’s what I thought at first. How should I kill this person? Or maybe you’re thinking about how to chew it to make it taste good. There is something like that. It’s like picking up a bag of ramen at the supermarket and debating whether to boil it or pour it on.
But why do I keep doing this?
– Sigh…?
“….”
Does it seem like he’s worried about us?
It feels ridiculous. If someone had told me this, I would have dismissed it as bullshit. For some reason, I kept getting that feeling. My intuition was telling me. I don’t know if that’s really true.
‘…But let’s not let down our guard.’
Of course, the more Rakiel felt that way, the more nervous he became. I can’t believe I let down my guard by being pushed into this situation. This is ridiculous. Even if you get bitten by a tiger, if you come to your senses, it may hurt more because you are eaten with your mind intact, but at the same time, it gives you the incentive to try something.
Besides, there wasn’t much time right now.
This kind of confrontation is not desirable.
The reason was simple.
Ding dong!
[WARNING!]
A red-hot warning message appeared before my eyes along with an eerie sound.
[You are continuously exposed to external radiation.]
[The number and density of radiation particles bombarding you exceeds the exposure prevention function of the equipment you are currently wearing. Additionally, part of the shielding armor you are wearing is damaged by impact, further increasing the amount of radiation exposure.] [
Your expected life expectancy decreases in real time.]
[Warning: Expected life expectancy decreases by 10 days!]
[Expected life expectancy : 2431 days]
“….”
I’m going crazy.
This is the problem.
Even the radiation exposure warning did not end with just one warning. Even while having a snowball fight(?) with the Bone Dragon, it came to mind from time to time. It feels like almost once every 30 seconds? So, if it continues like this…
‘In just one hour, my life expectancy could be completely cut off.’
I remembered the first time I encountered a bone dragon in the field outside the walls of Tennion and engaged in a grapple with it. Even back then, when I got close to that guy, a warning about radiation exposure like this would pop up. But it wasn’t as bad as it is now.
‘The distance is closer. It’s an enclosed space. Moreover… the iron cart overturned earlier and rolled around on the floor, denting and denting various parts of the shielding armor.’
Thanks to this, it seemed that some of the radiation shielding material, such as lead plated on the outside of the shielding armor, had been removed. Radiation probably penetrates mainly through that area. If this continues, the amount of radiation exposure will accumulate. Perhaps the decline in life expectancy will accelerate. So out of control.
‘I don’t like that.’
As if reflecting the mood here, the five intestines and six parts were also going crazy in real time.
Ding dong!
[Your five organs and six parts will fall into a real-time mental breakdown due to the hot radiation exposure!]
[Heart: Hey, stop the radiation! ㅠㅠ]
[Lungs: Huh… Pahahaha… ㅠㅠ]
[Captain: I don’t think I can stop it ㅠㅠ]
[Lip: Ah, radioactivity…. It comes into my life as it pleases and makes me dizzy, and if I see it, it bothers me because it’s visible, and if I don’t see it, it makes me dizzy. Because I can’t see it, it seems like I’m really going crazy ㅠㅠ]
[Stomach: Even when I close my eyes, he looks good, so I’m a winner of insomnia ㅠㅠ]
[Kidney: With the appearance of radioactivity in Labungi’s body… it’s going to be fun haha]
[Spleen: Ramombang Back ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ]
[ Bladder: Oh crazy ㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ
]
We sponsor.]
[Current HP: 27600]
“….”
Okay. I’m going crazy too.
But I know one thing for sure.
If it just stays frozen like this, it will definitely come to an end. Any number of measures must be taken immediately and quickly.
‘So what should I do?’
I looked up nervously.
A confrontation like thin ice.
It seemed like if I moved even a little hastily, it would start attacking right away. So, is there a way to get out of this place without causing unnecessary stimulation? It would have been impossible to safely escape while carrying a fainted Damien using normal methods.
Or, what if we change our thinking and make him step down? How? By what means?
‘Let’s think about it. ‘Think about it, Lee Han!’
Radiation exposure notifications keep coming to mind in real time.
The five intestines and six parts that make all kinds of noise.
Even in the midst of that anxiety and fear, I tried not to lose my composure. I only focused on the current situation. observed. analyzed. There must be a way. I just couldn’t think of it. I was constantly persuading and encouraging myself and thinking hard.
Current situation.
Things you can see.
Feeling atmosphere.
Bone Dragon’s attitude.
Actions you can take when you put them all together. Variables and results accordingly. Possibility. I thought of all those elements, combined them, disassembled them, stacked them again, fused them, destroyed them, and finally came up with them without giving up and connecting them.
‘…This is it.’
One faint possibility appeared.
It was thanks to Bone Dragon’s atmosphere and attitude toward this side. The attitude of this guy seems to be secretly worried about this person. I thought that if I used that, maybe I could really get out of the current crisis. Thanks to this, doubts about that judgment also surfaced.
Am I crazy?
But I think it will work.
A small possibility rose like a spark of hope in the corner of my head. Perhaps this is the only meaningful attempt this side can make in the current situation.
‘Let’s try it.’
Anyway, all other methods seem unlikely. As soon as I realized that fact and made my decision.
Sigh.
He stretched out one hand. I pulled out the dagger from the waist of the fallen Damian. As soon as he pulled it out, he put the blade to his own throat. Without hesitation. Without wasting movement wire. Promptly. And firmly.
shouted.
“Don’t come any closer! Get back! “Otherwise, I’ll pierce my head with this!”
