The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 108

Episode 108 Wasp catching bees (1)

[Heart: From now on, we are going to kidnap the queen larvaㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[Lungs: Hahahahahahaha]

[Captain: Wow, our body’s conscience hahaha]

[Lip: This, this, this human. Look at your personality that you kept your mouth shut on purpose while coming here, but now you are telling me haha]

[Camouflage: Oh, if I spoil it in advance, you will escape haha]

[The five intestines criticize your personality and throw your HP as if you were giving rice cakes to an ugly guy.]

[The Ojangyukbu sponsored 100 HP.]

[Currently your HP: 5500]

“….”

I have nothing to say even if I hear such criticism. Actually, it’s true that I didn’t tell you until now on purpose. I was worried that if I told them in advance, they would either refuse to accompany me or insist that I return to camp.

‘Well, anyway, the plan was a great success.’

An evil smile bloomed at the corner of Rakiel’s mouth. In fact, the whole group was enjoying synchronized swimming in a crucible of astonishment.

‘It’s not unreasonable. Aphyros, a giant bee, is a fairly strong monster despite the fact that it commonly inhabits deep forests. Individual individuals may not be a big deal, but when they gather together as a group, even most ogres are a problem.’

Suddenly, the story in Demon Sword Emperor came to mind. It must have been mid to late in the novel. Around that time, Apyrus was properly mentioned.

‘I said that Apyrus is a rather gentle creature. The tendency itself is not aggressive. Even if a human or intruder wanders near the nest, it is rare for them to attack first. But if someone touches the nest or the larvae, it’s a completely different story.’

It becomes more aggressive than any other monster. Chases intruders until they die. Rush until the earth ends. They become so persistent that they even disregard their own lives.

‘Especially if you touch the queen larva? There’s no need to say more about that.’

It was that dangerous.

But it was well worth it.

‘Because the substance secreted by the queen caterpillar contains tremendous antibiotic properties.’

It was like that in the novel Demon Sword Emperor. Thanks to that secretion, Damian, who was dying, came back to life. As a bonus, the scene where the elves extract the queen caterpillar’s secretions was also depicted in detail.

‘I used the elf’s unique ability to communicate with animals. Of course, I can’t copy it… but I’ll be able to extract it in my own way.’

So, you have to get your hands on the queen caterpillar. What if I just pull out that secretion? It will be possible to free many wounded soldiers in the camp from infection. You will be able to save it. You will be able to enjoy a lot of bonus life. You will enjoy a rich and rough life as a royal family.

‘….’

I was excited for a moment.

But Rakiel came to his senses. This is the beginning. I raised my head with a promise. I looked around at the group who were still splashing in the pool of astonishment.

“What’s wrong with everyone’s expressions? why. Is there a problem?”

“Of course there is a problem-”

Damian responded with a perplexed expression.

“Do you realize how dangerous it is to say that you would kidnap a caterpillar, especially a queen caterpillar?”

“huh.”

“Then do you know what will happen if you put that into action?”

“huh.”

“And you’re going to do that?”

“huh.”

“….”

Damian’s expression hardened.

“I already know that you sometimes do absurdly reckless things. Because I experienced it while serving you. But not in this case. “You have crossed the line.”

“Did you cross the line? I?”

“yes. Who are you going to entrust with the role of kidnapping the queen caterpillar? “Anyone who takes on that role will definitely be attacked by all the bees in Apyroth’s nest.”

“huh. “I guess so.”

“And most likely, you will suffer terribly without being able to escape the siege.”

“huh. “I guess so.”

“Are you sure you’re going to ask one of your group members to play that role?”

“huh. “It will happen.”

“Are you out of your mind?”

“huh.”

“…no way.”

“huh?”

“You’re not going to do something crazy like that yourself, are you?”

“no way. Of course not.”

Rakiel smiled brightly. A wrinkle appeared between Damien’s eyebrows.

“Then to whom…?”

“you.”

“…yes?”

“it’s you.”

“Didn’t you hear me clearly?”

“Don’t use the concept of making a fool of yourself. It’s you. you.”

“….”

One of Damian’s eyebrows twitched.

Rachiel also twitched one side of her lip.

He said with a smile.

“are you okay. It doesn’t hurt. Don’t die. “Because there is a way to do it safely.”

“Is there a safe way?”

“uh. “Thanks to this guy.”

Tuk.

I tapped my chest where the inner pocket was. The answer came immediately from inside.

“Little girl!”

I told him while listening to the answer.

“To tell you my plan, I need you to approach Apyroth’s nest. And then I hit the side of the nest with the strongest blow with my sword – then the swarm of bees in the nest will get angry, right?”

“Probably so.”

“okay. Then, please dance in front of the swarm of bees for just 10 seconds.”

“Then you’ll get angrier.”

“huh. “That’s what I’m saying.”

“….”

“Anyway, we have to make the Apyrros in the nest as angry as possible. Let all the attention be focused on you. “Only attack you.”

“Then what about me?”

“I have to run away. As far away as possible. As long as possible. Take all the bee swarms. “Consistently.”

“…It’s a decoy operation. Is that correct?”

“uh.”

“But I don’t think I’ll be able to run away until the end.”

“You can use it then.”

Tuk.

“Little girl!”

Kkosomi’s answer is heard again.

“Feed him red sunflower seeds. Then it will grow.”

“What should I do when it grows bigger?”

“Get crushed underneath it.”

“yes?”

“The little one will put you under its belly and curl up and raise its thorns. “That’s it.”

“…no way.”

“Do you get a feel for it?”

“yes. Apiros are about 1 meter in size… so they won’t be able to pierce the tight thorns of Lord Cosplay.”

“That’s it. “Operation Cactus.”

“….”

“While you were holding on by dragging all the Apiros from the nest, we went into the nest and scooped out the queen larvae.”

“….”

“got it?”

“But there is still something unsettling about it.”

“What.”

“Even if we successfully kidnap the queen caterpillar, what will happen to me and Sir Cosplay? As far as I know, Aphyros is a monster famous for being persistent against intruders.”

“That’s right. They probably won’t lift the siege until they starve to death. “As long as the nest doesn’t catch fire.”

“….”

“You got it again, right?”

“I… no, master. “You are truly a vicious human being.”

“huh. “I’m sorry for being vicious.”

“….”

“I’m just going to light a light fire. So much so that only the outside of the nest is lightly scorched. If you do just that, the swarm of bees surrounding you will return to their nest. Even a fire in the nest can be quickly extinguished with the secretions. So there won’t be much damage to them either. In the meantime, you and Kkomgi can run away.”

Rachiel said as she slapped an iron plate all over her face. A sigh appeared on Damian’s lips.

“Whew. “So you’re saying I’ll be the bait anyway.”

“huh. So, are you applying for hazard pay?”

“yes.”

“How much do you want?”

“I think 30 times the weekly wage would be appropriate.”

“Tsk. “I’m too greedy.”

“If you don’t like it, can I retire as of today?”

“Is this a threat?”

“I’m serious.”

“Are you going to be very rich?”

“I would like to do that as much as possible.”

“Then let’s double it 20 times.”

“I will retire.”

“How about 25 times?”

“thank you.”

Just like that, negotiations were concluded dramatically with Damian!

The group moved forward steadily again. Of course, not everyone could shake off their anxiety. It was because I thought that no matter how much there was a plan, Apiros was still a dangerous monster. However, my faith in Rakiel was slightly greater than my anxiety.

‘No matter what, his real identity is the Crown Prince of Magentano. ‘You won’t do anything more dangerous than a certain level, right?’

… thought the knights whom the princess had given them. They were also part of the entourage that accompanied Princess Adeline to the imperial capital Magenta. I knew Rachiel’s true identity. That’s why I didn’t lose faith.

So what about the pathfinder soldier?

‘I heard that the military doctor performed a miracle. Then, even if we get hurt, that miracle will be able to save us, right?’

I recalled the rumors spreading throughout the camp. Did they say that the fat military doctor performed the miracle of a saint? Therefore, they developed the belief that they would be safe even if they were in danger.

Another half a day passed amidst everyone’s misunderstanding(?). In the meantime, Rakiel made everyone familiar with their roles.

And finally.

“…I found it. “I saw a nest in the clearing in front of the hill across from the stream.”

The guiding soldier discovered Apyroth’s nest. There was tension on the faces of the group.

“good. First, check.”

I lowered myself into the grass.

We moved forward slowly.

How much did it move? Just as the guide soldier said, a nest was visible.

‘Wow. Look at the size.’

It was like a beehive nest, and it was huge. Almost any small local supermarket?

A dome-shaped nest that appeared to be at least that size was firmly erected on the ground. Around it, bees that looked as big as Jindo dogs were buzzing and flying around.

‘I’m speechless. Does that sound almost like a motorcycle?’

It was like a scene where dozens of delivery motorcycles were flying around. Rachiel looked back at the group.

“Let’s begin. “As planned.”

“….”

Everyone nodded silently.

From then on, everyone started moving in unison. I took out the wild flowers I had picked on the way here, one by one. Flowers and stems were rubbed all over the body without distinction. Rachiel did the same. The exploration suit quickly became covered with juice from the flower petals and stems.

‘Because this way, Apyrus will be less hostile towards us.’

It was a mention from Demon Sword Emperor.

If you do this, your whole body will smell like wild flowers. Bees feel less hostile. Remembering that, I rubbed and applied even harder.

“next. torchlight.”

“I’m ready.”

The knights took out their perches. I applied a lot of rosin. It is ready to ignite a fire as soon as a small spark appears.

‘That’s enough.’

Rachiel took a deep breath and looked back at Damian.

“Are you confident?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“Still, should I do it?”

“…Whew. “Please hand it to me.”

I handed over the little girl.

Damian relaxed. I stayed far away from my group. I stared at the nest. With sharp eyes, I observed the surrounding herd of Apiros.

I approached slowly, familiarizing myself with their movements and measuring the appropriate timing. I grabbed my sword to strike the nest as hard as possible for the most powerful blow.

But that was then.

Bub bub bubuuuung-!

The movements of the flock of Apiros flying around the nest changed. It got busy. The wings flapped much faster. It became fierce. A reaction as if meeting an enemy. Or, it was a movement that seemed to detect an intruder.

“…!”

Damian flinched.

Could it be that he has already sensed their intentions? Is that why they do that? He looked back at Rakiel while clutching his sword. He protested strongly with his eyes.

‘How did this happen?’

Rachiel also glared at Damian and responded with his eyes.

‘Didn’t you reveal it too early?’

‘No way. ‘I killed as much as possible.’

‘I think he killed it clumsily?’

‘Anyway, what should we do now?’

‘What should I do? If this has already happened, hit me right away and run away.’

‘…All right.’

Tsk.

Damian clicked his tongue. And then I grabbed the sword again. It didn’t seem like the time to waste time.

‘So, the most powerful blow I’ve practiced so far.’

Crack!

Tendons sprouted from the backs of his hands, his forearms, his shoulders, and his entire upper body. The Manaheart in my heart roared fiercely.

I swung my sword.

No, it was just before swinging.

Kwaaaaaa!

A sudden roar sounded from the sky. A huge silhouette fell as if crashing down. It attacked one unlucky Apiros in an instant. He asked with his massive upper jaw. torn No, I cut it. at a whack. Without any time to react.

And it roared.

Kiiiiaaaaak-!

“…!”

It was a wasp as big as a rhino. But it wasn’t just one guy. The first raid was just the beginning.

‘What is this…’

While Damian was widening his eyes, dozens of giant wasps came pouring down towards the Apyroth nest.

Hunting without mercy.

It was the beginning of a massacre.
