âWithout expecting any gainâŠ. However, are you going to keep looking at me with a baseless prejudice?â
When Lao heard that, he bit his lips tightly.
He didnât believe Raymond.
But is it because of the disease that has clouded his judgment?
Lao is confused now
The clear emerald glow seemed to be only concerned for himself.
âI donât know why you are looking at me like that. I just acted with a heart for the patient.â
â.âŠâŠ.â
âHonestly, I donât like you. But do you know why I am stepping up like this?â
ââŠâŠhow come?â
âBecause you are a patient now!â
ââŠâŠ!â
Thanks to the speech skill, emotion was desperately added to the sentence.
âAt this moment, nothing else matters to me except that you are a patient. I just want to treat you as a healer.â
âI want to heal you.â
Those words pounded Laoâs chest as he lays on the sick bed.
âDid I misunderstand him?â
Laoâs eyes shook.
âI donât know.â
âHonestly, I still donât believe it.â
A sense from Lao tingles as if warning him.
âI shouldnât trust him.â
âBut stillâŠâŠ.â
There was one thing Lao felt.
âI donât think his statement about him wanting to cure me is a lie.â
âIf itâs a lie, I wonât see him with those intense eyes.â
âThose look in his eyes were not ones that could be fabricated.â
âIf even that look in his eyes is fake, then the healer in front of me would be an unmatched performer or a con artist.â
ââŠâŠIs there a way to cure me?â
Raymond nodded.
âAccording to ancient knowledge, this infectious disease is caused by the reduction of blood components in the body called platelets.â
The identity of the epidemic is still unknown.
However, Pathogenesis was able to understand how infectious diseases cause problems.
Therefore, I could also know what the cure was.
It was simple.
âSo we need to fill in the missing ingredients.â
âThat meansâŠ?â
âWe just have to fill you someone elseâs blood.â
At that moment, there was silence in the room.
Did the head refuse to accept it? They all didnât seem to understand Raymondâs meaning properly.
But thatâs also for a while.
Lao was furious.
âWhat nonsense is that! The devil can use it! I canât accept it!â
He always looked against the limit.
âItâs a natural reaction.â
Raymond thought.
A blood transfusion.
Itâs a common remedy in the modern world, but not here.
âI understand your surprise. However, there is no other cure than this.â
âGo! I will never use that method!â Lao shouted with a red face.
âAs expected! He was a fraud!â
Raymond sighed and looked straight at Lao.
âI was expecting this kind of reaction.â
âOf course, I was also thinking about countermeasures.â
âYouâre a coward.â
ââŠâŠ!â
âAfter all, arenât you afraid? To accept a new treatment. Lord Lao, the genius of the Royal Academy, is no different from others.â
It was a provocation.
And a genius like the top graduate of the Royal Academy never just backs down from provocation!
Lao clenched his fist tightly.
Raymond got up from his seat like a clipper.
âI see. I canât help it if you donât want to.â
ââŠâŠ!â
âI made it clear. Iâm trying to heal you. But if youâre scaredâŠâŠ It canât be helped.â
âI have made an emphasis to âif youâre scaredâ.â
In the end, Lao said.
âI see. Then I shall accept the cure method that you have stated.â
âMaster?â
âBut if the cure you mentioned is wrongâŠâŠ I will not forgive you then, even if I die.â
Raymond nodded.
âI see. Instead, if the treatment is successful, the supervisor should also give me one reward.â
âWhat do you want? If itâs money, Iâll try as hard as I canâŠâŠ.â
âNo, I donât want money.â
Money is always the first priority for Raymond, but he wanted something else this time.
âIf you live safely, take me as your brother.â
ââŠâŠ!â
Raymond smiled inwardly.
âItâs time for me to get a high-ranking official as well.â
Laoâs impression was distorted.
âWhat kind of absurdity is that all of a suddenâŠâŠ?â
âHave you not considered me unfounded and ill-founded so far?â
Raymond spoke with an expression as if he had eaten salt.
âSo, please take me as your brother for the rest of your life as an apology for misunderstanding and slandering me. Thatâs the price I want.â
***
Itâs an urgent situation.
Raymond immediately began preparing for the transfusion.
âI will give you my blood! I canât let otherâs dirty blood come in contact with your body!â cried Han, with such determination.
A simple cross-reaction test showed that blood could be transfused.
Platelet transfusions do not necessarily have to be the same blood type, but it was good to check just in case.
âBut how would you put blood into my body? Donât you have to bite my neck like a vampire?â
âIf it is for you young master, Iâll gladly give you my neck!â
ââŠâŠNo, I refuse. I donât have a hobby of biting the neck of a middle-aged man. Is there any other way?â
Raymond nodded.
Of course, it wasnât that way.
âWeâre not going to inject raw blood, but weâre going to first separate platelets from the blood.â
ââŠâŠ.â
They didnât seem to understand what Raymond was saying.
ââŠâŠthere is such a way anyway.â
Whole blood transfusion.
It is a method of transfusing whole blood, but it is ineffective and has many side effects.
âItâs a blood transfusion method thatâs rarely used in the modern world.â
Raymond, therefore, intended to use another blood transfusion method.
A whole blood transfusion!
If only platelets are separated and transfused, side effects can be minimized and effects can be maximized.
âThe problem is we need a centrifuge. There canât be such a state-of-the-art machine here.â
But there was a way.
If the modern Earth is a world of science, Laipentaina is a world of swords and magic.
âI can use magic.â
âMarket browsing. Auxiliary skills.â
A list of available skills came to Raymondâs mind.
His level went up, so there were many skills that Raymond can buy now due to his amassed skill points.
âBuy Wind Magic!â
[Purchased Basic (D-Class) Wind Magic!]
[80 skill points are used up!]
[Wind Magic]
Classification: Auxiliary (magic) skills
Magic grade: Basic
Proficiency: D
â Can use wind magic.
-The higher your skill level, the more proficient and intense wind magic you can use!
The principle of implementing wind magic came into Raymondâs head.
Hanâs blood was collected and put in a glass bottle specially treated with reagents.
Since then, blood vessels have been inserted into special devices such as pinwheels that can be rotated by the wind.
âI was in a hurry to make a custom, so I broke my budget just for this.â
Sighs
Raymond swallowed his tears as he looked at the crude pinwheel-shaped special tool.
He assumed that the infectious disease was a hemorrhagic fever and immediately commissioned the Dwarp workshop.
I donât think thereâs much technology in it, but itâs a big deal because it was urgently requested.
âThe evil dwarfs who only light up money. Iâll be rich for sure.â
Thatâs it for Raymondâs useless thoughts.
Centrifugation began immediately.
âWind.â
The wind magic unfolded and the barrel of blood began to spin.
[Intellect is high compared to the level of magic used!]
[You can use your magic more sophisticatedly and powerfully!]
It was a message that came from his mind.
For reference, Raymondâs current intellectual stat is 23.
At this rate, it seemed to be a much higher level of intelligence than âLearner magiciansâ who use D-grade magic.
âIt has to last as long as possible.â
Perhaps because it was a dwarfâs craft, it worked well even if the wind was weak.
But soon enough, a problem arose.
âCanât this magic last longer than I thought? Iâm deliberately concentrating on a narrow range and using magic without waste. But I am still running out of mana that quickly.â
Raymond looked disheartened.
âIs there any way to raise mana?â
Raymond felt frustrated.
âWhy is there no way to raise mana stats? Whatâs the point of learning magic? I should be able to raise mana too! Iâve already learned 4 magics, so Iâm already at the level of an apprentice wizard.â
It was then.
As if to answer, a message came to his mind.
[You have acquired a total of 4 magic skills]
[You met the criteria for opening up the additional stat!]
[Additional stat will be opened]
[Stats]
Stamina: 15
Sense: 20
Intellect: 23
? â Mana: 1
ââŠâŠ!â
Raymondâs eyes grew bigger.
The item that was always displayed only as â?â has changed to âManaâ!
But that wasnât the end of the message.
[The bowl of the top half (mana channel) is very small!]
[The soil before the middle ground (mana heart) is very barren!]
[The bottom half (mana hole) is completely dry!]
It was a cheap message.
Top Half (Channel).
Before the middle ground (heart).
Lower Half (hole).
Each is a place where healers, wizards, and knights accumulate mana.
But I canât accumulate mana in any of them?
âWhat? So what? What am I going to do with Mana?â
[The 4th place, accumulates mana in the veins!]
[The mana vain is activated!]
ââŠâŠ!â
Raymond looked surprised again.
âMana in the veins? âWhat nonsense?â
Avein of blood.
Itâs the way blood flows, that is, blood vessels.
âI canât believe Iâm accumulating mana in my blood vessels!â
âIt was an article Iâd never heard or seen in my life.â
But Raymond couldnât argue more.
Soon another message resurfaced.
[You will be given a bonus for opening up the mana stat for the first time!]
[10 stat points will be given!]
[Caution: It can only be used to raise the mana stat.]
Raymond clenched his fist.
âIt doesnât matter whether itâs blood or anything. Anyway, itâs important that I can accumulate mana now.â
Raymond immediately converted the stat point to mana.
[Mana: 1 â 6]
I used 10 points, but only half, or 5 points, went up.
Unlike other stats, the demand for points seemed to have doubled.
As Mana rose from one to six, suddenly an indescribable sense of fullness rose throughout his body.
âWind!â
Raymond clenched his fist.
The mana that had dried up and twisted gave Raymond strength again.
âConcentrating on the narrowest possible area so that it wonât come out too strong.â
The D-class wind is a powerful magic that instantly blows strong winds around it for an instant.
That is why Raymond is in need of focusing on the narrowest area as much as possible and spreading it with appropriate force.
Thanks to this, it was able to last for a considerable period of time, and the centrifugation was successful.
âItâs done!â
The blood was divided into three layers by weight.
