The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 53Episode 53. How to paralyze the tail (2)

‘This is it.’

Rakiel’s fist clenched. In my head, a fountain of ideas gushes out like an oil field bursting from a spring deep in the mountains.

At the core was Botox.

Botox.

A word that every modern person living in the 21st century has heard at least once. The moment I discovered wrinkles at the corners of my eyes on a face I thought would be plump forever. The injection that you usually think about at least once when you realize that the nasolabial folds have started to form in the area of your mouth that was once moist and tight.

‘Botox injection. ‘I can apply that.’

The flow of thoughts in Rachiel’s mind became faster. In general, what happens when Botox is injected into a muscle? Muscles relax. Wrinkles are smoothed out.

Or when your calf biceps are so big that you don’t want to see them? The volume can be reduced by paralyzing part of the muscle with an injection. Just like when you wear a leg cast for two or three months and then take it off, your muscles shrink. A similar principle can also be used to help achieve slim legs. Sometimes, the square jaw muscles are reduced to create a V-line.

But what is the secret? Sёarᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It was highly toxic.

‘Actually, Botox is a tremendous paralyzing poison.’

Botox.

His real name and full name is Botulinum toxin. It wasn’t just any toxic substance. Of all the toxins that mankind has discovered and developed so far, it is by far the most toxic substance.

Cobra or black mamba venom? In front of botulinum toxin, it is nothing more than cream soup in front of nuclear buldak. Cyanide, known for being extremely poisonous? He is nothing more than a one-month old boxer at a local boxing gym who takes on Mike Tyson.

‘of course. Even if it is cyanide, it is at least 10,000 times weaker than botulinum toxin.’

What is the half-lethal dose (LD50) of botulinum toxin? When inhaled, it is about 10 nanograms per kilogram. So what if there is an adult weighing 60 kilograms? Only 600 nanograms. 0.6 micrograms. This means that if you inhale just 0.0006 grams, you will be able to successfully make a reservation at King Yeomna’s career counseling class.

‘Actually, I calculated that too generously. If you actually inhale it through the mucous membrane… the mass needed to kill an adult male is about 0.0000005 grams.’

That was a huge shame.

‘You need 0.15 grams of cyanide to have the same effect. The famous and terribly radioactive black tea? ‘It takes 0.01 gram to catch a person.’

So, for simple calculation, what if there is approximately 400 grams of pure concentrated botulinum toxin? It could annihilate the entire human race. Botulinum toxin was an incredibly powerful toxic substance.

‘But people often use it for cosmetic purposes, such as improving wrinkles. ‘What are the limits of humanity?’

When I thought about it, I felt a little dazed. Rachiel shook his head.

‘Anyway, now is the time to use the principle of Botox injection. you can do it. What if we use a substance that causes a muscle paralyzing effect with a similar mechanism, even if it is not as powerful as Botox? What if I apply that to herbal acupuncture treatment?

It would be possible.

Werewolf’s local autonomy tail is a problem because it moves arbitrarily. It may produce a local paralyzing effect on the muscles of the tail. This 100% satisfies Anis’s needs.

‘There just happens to be poison there that can be used.’

Rakiel raised his head.

He spoke to Sir Gardin.

“I just thought of something for a moment. “I need to get something for you.”

“yes? “What do you mean?”

“Kusman’s poisonous capsule.”

“…Are you talking about the promoter we arrested last time when we took down the underground gladiatorial arena?”

“Hmm. A poisonous capsule that was secured while arresting him at that time. “You kept it safely in Vigo, right?”

“yes. “Of course, Your Highness.”

Sir Gardin nodded.

thank god.

“Then bring it. right now.”

“yes? “Excuse me, but where are you going to use such a dangerous capsule?…”

“What are you going to use it for? “I want to use it for good.”

Sir Gardin is worried about us. I wonder if this side is in danger because of the deadly poison. He seemed very concerned.

But he gave me a quick glance. In the end, Sir Gardin pretended not to win and walked away. I returned with a total of 30 poisonous capsules. In the meantime, Rakiel organized his plan.

‘First of all, the idea came out. Kusman’s capsule with paralyzing poison. By incorporating that ingredient into herbal acupuncture treatment, it produces a local paralyzing effect on the muscles. But if that’s the case….’

There are two tasks that need to be solved.

‘The first task is the treatment area.’

You can’t stick a needle anywhere.

Where should I apply the needle to get the paralyzing poison to have the desired effect? Will I be able to avoid any side effects? It would have to be thoroughly reviewed. So Rakiel called Anis.

“What are you doing this time of night?”

Anise was called in while resting at the visitor accommodation. She asked in a slightly nervous tone. Rachiel said as if it was no big deal.

“The conditions they asked for earlier. I think I found a way to solve it. So, I think we need to investigate the treatment area.”

“…yes?”

“Sit back and stay still.”

“….”

He turned her around and sat her down. I put my palm on my back. For a moment, her shoulders shook. But I didn’t mind. I activated the dark mind technique.

‘Just like when I was treating epilepsy.’

Kiiiiing-!

The Mind Act was activated to its maximum extent. The mana circle surrounding the heart rotated furiously. The senses of the body became extremely sensitive. The sensitivity to detect mana has become more precise.

I focused that sensation on Anise’s back, which I was holding with my hand. The warmth of the body felt through the back. Tension in the skin and muscles under the collar. Even the blood flow flowing between them. It all slowly started to make sense.

In this way, his own mysterious, precise diagnostic method that could be compared to MRI was used.

‘That’s right. see.’

Asurahan’s mind method was a mind method specialized for absorbing and processing mana. The ability to detect mana was also excellent. But what about inside the body of a living creature? Of course, it contained mana.

skin and muscles.

blood vessels and nerves.

Fascia and skeleton.

Even to the deepest marrow.

There was no place where mana did not flow. It was a completely natural thing for living creatures. Thanks to this, Rachiel was able to closely understand the flow of mana moving throughout Anis’ entire body.

‘I can see it, I can see it.’

When I close my eyes, a pitch-black world unfolds. A halo of light flowing through it. It felt like looking down on downtown Seoul at night from the top of Namsan Mountain. Numerous waves of light were seen flowing along the road. The road was the vein, and the flow of traffic sprinkling light was mana.

In particular, Rakiel paid attention to the flow around Anise’s waist, buttocks, legs, and tail.

‘As expected, the flow here is a little different from that of humans.’

The tail was an organ of which only traces remained in humans. On the other hand, what about werewolves like Anis? It is an organ that functions exactly like a human limb.

Therefore, we expected that the composition of the tail and blood vessels around it would be different from that of humans. As I looked into it, I found that the prediction was correct to some extent.

‘But… it’s not as different as I thought, is it?’

Is it because the tail remains as a vestigial organ in humans as well? The composition of most blood vessels was not significantly different from that of humans.

‘At least the location of the dokmaek (督脈) is a little different. In particular, the space between the viscera and yosu acupuncture points of the buttocks is wider above and below than in humans. In between them… a completely new blood vessel that does not exist in humans extends towards the tail.’

A tail that has disappeared from humans. From root to tip. There was a vein I had never seen before.

‘Still… the structure is simpler than I thought.’

As I continued to observe, I was able to guess which spot I needed to mark. But that didn’t mean the inspection was over.

“So, do you want to transform now?”

“yes?”

“Because when you transform into a wolf, the location of your blood vessels will change. “We have to inspect and figure out everything.”

It was natural.

Was it because of their serious attitude? Anise also nodded obediently.

“All right.”

Kuddeuk!

Under the moonlight seeping through the wide open window. The transformation was completed in an instant. Anis, an ordinary-looking woman, was no longer there. Where she was, there was only a brown-haired werewolf wearing human clothes standing on two feet.

“Whoa. “You’re not particularly big, are you?”

“….”

“But it looks just like Jindol.”

“Huh?”

“Ah, the name of the dog I had before.”

“Growl.”

“sorry.”

“….”

“So you can’t speak because your oral structure has changed? Now then, hands.”

Ok.

When I held out my palm, Anise’s hand, or rather her front paw, reflexively came up. Did Anis realize her reaction too late?

“…Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

The gaze glaring in this direction became quite ferocious. Rachiel shrugged her shoulders and smiled.

“sorry. “I wondered if it would really work.”

“Crumbling!”

“I’m really sorry. “Then let’s check again.”

“….”

Nod.

Anise nodded obediently. I examined her body again in wolf form. Thanks to this, I was able to understand the composition of the blood vessels that changed during the transformation.

After that he sent her away. The bedroom left alone. There, Rachiel reviewed the results of the vague detailed diagnosis.

‘thank god. There is no significant difference. This may be because its body structure is basically similar to that of a human.’

So, I decided which area to use Botox acupuncture. But the problem still remained.

‘The first task, the treatment area, was solved. But the second task is a bit difficult.’

Rachiel was troubled. Second task for botox acupuncture. That was the amount of paralyzing poison used.

‘This is just as important as deciding on the treatment area. No, actually, it’s the most important thing.’

It was a natural story.

A procedure that uses poison rather than medicine. It is a procedure that injects a strong poison that even causes paralysis in the muscles. But what if the capacity is determined randomly? There will be a parade of all kinds of dangerous side effects. It was something that should never have happened.

‘We need to find out what the ingredients of this deadly poison Kusman manufactured are and what is the safe and appropriate amount to achieve a local paralysis effect while avoiding side effects.’

It was a process that had to go through. But I was a bit at a loss as to how to figure it out.

‘Should I ask Koosman, who manufactured this? ‘It’s not that difficult.’

Kusman, promoter of the gladiatorial arena. He is arrested and imprisoned in the imperial palace prison. So, just go and ask. But Rakiel soon shook his head.

‘no. ‘I can’t trust that guy.’

He’s not a good guy to begin with. They may even harbor a lot of ill feelings towards this side. Of course, it would be difficult to expect a proper answer.

‘They may intentionally provide incorrect information. That’s the most dangerous.’

So, the opportunity to question Koosman is dismissed. Rachiel’s brows furrowed.

‘Then should I try it myself?’

Should I eat it and store it in the mana circle? So, let’s test the ingredients by passing a very small amount into the body. A thought occurred to me for a moment.

But as soon as I thought of that thought, a loud message appeared before my eyes.

Ding dong!

[The five organs and six parts are horrified by your dangerous idea.]

[Heart: Guys, did you just hear that? He wants to try poison?]

[Lung: Huh… pahahahaha]

[Captain: Do you want to conduct a self-experiment? The villus projections become majestic.]

[Soy Sauce: Hey, if I eat that, I have to detoxify and dispose of it all. Why don’t you just pull out the phantom species and feed it to me, you crazy person?] The

five intestines and six parts make a big fuss and complain. Rakiel opened his flounder eyes. He responded to the chief who was most blatantly dissatisfied.

‘You’re giving poison to a phantom species. It’s not even an experimental guinea pig. ‘Isn’t that a bit harsh?’

Immediately, a rebuttal came back.

[Soy Sauce: Is there a phantom species whose specialty is testing ingredients for poison?]

‘…What?’

Wrinkles appeared between Rakiel’s eyebrows. It was from then on. The soy chief’s explanation continued as if he had been waiting.
