I Am the Madman of This Family - I Am the Madman of This Family chapter 122

Chapter 122. Faith without power is meaningless (1)

It was an office made of swords.

It was not an abstract expression. The floor and ceiling, even the walls and windows are all ‘swords’.

They were not swords made for decorative purposes. All of them had black blades, and those that could be called famous swords from the outside.

Five people entered the office of Eslow, which was made of tens of thousands of famous swords. They were the three brothers Miles, Anise and Tarragon, and Keter and Catherine.

In front of a table made of swords. Eslow’s presence in the sword chair was sharper and sharper than tens of thousands of swords.

The four people who received their eyes trembled.

It is not oppressed by authority.

it’s fear

The ghastly feeling of the sharp blade in front of my neck amplified tens of thousands of times and tickled my heart.

Poof, Eslow threw something. It was a business card, and it flew for miles.

good!

Keter caught the flying business card. At that moment, Eslow’s eyes lit up.

I put sword energy on the thrown business card. Even the Master would have had his finger cut off if he had received it without any hesitation. But Kether held the face, not the blade. It was truly outstanding Auror detection and boldness.

“Are you Keter?”

“Greetings from Keter El Sephira. Lord Eslow.”

“To say hello while looking straight into my eyes without bowing my head. It seems that you have many lives.”

“I just can’t dare to move my body at the strength of the monarch.”

“Huh, so bold.”

Without any warning, Eslow’s momentum disappeared as if it had been washed away. The group, who had been unable to breathe, gasped for breath only then.

Miles quickly dropped to his left knee and bowed his head.

“Mile El Sephira. Greetings to the great lord of the South, Duke Eslow.”

Anise, Tarragon, and Catherine also introduced themselves. Eslow, who was listening intently, looked at Kether.

The expression on your face was like, why don’t you do it?

“Did you hear my name before? You must have seen the business card.”

At Keter’s words, Miles whispered ventriloquist.

“Keter, get down on your knees and bow your head and do it again… … .”

Keter put a hand on Mile’s shoulder.

“My brother Miles. What does that mean? Prince Eslow is not deaf. You don’t understand if I say it twice.”

“Oh no, when did I say I was deaf! My lord, I didn’t mean that.”

“Whoops, it happened. Did you say miles? How is Endymion?”

Miles was taken aback by Eslow’s question. What is Endymion? It was the first name I had ever heard of.

“Looks like you don’t know. Then it was done.”

Eslow gets up and approaches Keter.

“omg… … .”

“Suck!”

The distance was only getting closer. However, that alone made it difficult for the party to breathe again. The mere presence of Eslow made her feel unbearable fear.

But Keter was only relaxed. I waited for Eslow with a comfortable posture and face.

“You guys go out.”

Eslow issued a congratulatory order to Mile. Miles forcibly moved his frozen body and squeezed out his words.

“For consideration… Thank you.”

Catherine and Tarragon left first, then Anise, and finally Miles.

“Why did I know today that there was a guy like you in Sephira?”

At Eslow’s words, Keter shrugged.

“It must have been about three months since I came to Sephira.”

“Tell me in detail.”

“I am an illegitimate child. I am from a lawless city.”

“Are you from liqueur?”

Others say ‘absinthe’ when they say lawless city, but Eslow put the liqueur first.

“yes.”

“Aren’t you hiding it? Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if the fact that you came out of a forbidden area where you can never escape is known?”

“The moment I mentioned my teacher, it was as if I had already revealed it.”

“I guess Franken said quite a bit about me.”

“Nothing. However, I thought that if you were the monarch, you would know about Master’s activities to some extent. You should know that it went with liqueur.”

“Whoops, that’s right. I know Franken went to liqueur. Also that it hasn’t come out yet. By the way, he called Franken his teacher.”

“You don’t think of me as a disciple, but anyway, my medicine belongs to him, so I’m calling you Master.”

“Where is Franken and what is he doing?”

“It went down into the liqueur basement, and after that I don’t know.”

“Why did you come to see me? I wonder why they sold Franken’s name.”

Eslow has something he wants to hear from Keter. Those words, ‘Franken told me to heal Eslow’s son’.

But Keter had no intention of saying that. Because by saying that, Kether came to visit Eslow at the request of her teacher.

Then, even if you treat your child, you won’t be able to ask for anything. The medical bill would be Franken’s debt, not Keter’s.

“I came here because I wanted to stay here during the competition.”

“My palace is not a hotel, Keter.”

Eslow spoke in an angry tone, but Keter smiled.

“Even if you don’t receive guests, you will receive honored guests.”

“Why should I treat you as an honored guest? Because it’s Franken’s apprentice? It doesn’t matter.”

“You’ve seen my business card, so you know, I’m a fixer. If you can solve the Lord’s request, I think you’ll be worthy to be treated as a VIP.”

“Do you think I have something to ask of you? I, the ruler of the South?”

Chiyiying… … !

The office is shaking. It is a sword. Tens of thousands of blades let out cries and emit sword energy. He begs to tear Keter to pieces immediately.

Keter still looked at Eslow with a smile on her face.

Fighting for momentum is to eventually scare the opponent into submission. However, there is absolutely nothing that Keter is afraid of. Eslow is just wasting time.

Eslow’s brow narrowed.

‘This guy looks like a human who doesn’t know death.’

It is a different reaction than not being afraid of death. Even a human being who can live after dying deserves to be afraid of death.

But Keter does not budge an eyebrow even in the face of death threats.

From noble mtl dot com

It wasn’t the realm of ‘bearing’.

It is an act of ignoring death.

Kether is truly ‘ignoring’ death. So the threats didn’t work at all.

‘Are all the people in the liqueur like this? If that’s not the case, a minion of the godfather Alcyone? no, that’s impossible There’s no way Franken taught Alkyone’s servants how to do medicine.’

Eslow’s eyes narrowed. The existence of Keter was a question itself.

‘The power he possesses is nothing special.’

The aura and mana contained in Keter’s body did not even reach 5 stars. A 4-star pull-up at most. It was an outstanding achievement for his age, but it was not strong enough to move the world.

‘No matter how brave and smart you are, in this world, strength is everything.’

Although curious, it is not something to be wary of. After evaluating Keter, Eslow took a step back.

“The fact that you came to see me and mentioned Franken must mean that you came to know about my son’s illness, but you pretend not to know until the end.”

“Is your son ill? That’s unfortunate. However, the best doctor in this kingdom would come running even during surgery if the monarch said a word. Are you having any problems?”

“Stop pretending. My son suffers from extreme magical retardation. do you know the cure? Didn’t you come here because you have the confidence to heal?”

“Extremely magical retardation, even hearing the name, it seems like a terrible disease. I learned medicine from Master, but I guess we’ll have to see if it’s possible to treat it.”

right!

Eslow snapped his fingers, and immediately Deacon No. 47 entered.

“Take Keter to Ryze.”

“yep. Prince Keter. Come this way… … .”

Keter turned her back to follow Deacon 47, but Eslow spoke to him.

“I will treat you and Sephira’s clan as honored guests as you wish. stay in my castle However, if treatment fails, Sephira will become a sea of fire.”

Despite the barbed words, Keter only responds in a relaxed manner.

“Thank you for your support. My strength is soaring.”

“good.”

* * *

The party waiting for Keter outside the office door was nervous at the sound of the door opening.

I couldn’t hear what was going on inside. There might be Keter’s corpse through the open door.

“Keter!”

“You are alive!”

Keter, who came out with Deacon 47, winked.

“I told you to trust me.”

At his words, butler number 47 spoke in a solemn manner.

“It is not over yet. If you can’t heal Master Ryze, the Lord’s wrath will overtake Sephira.”

When Miles made a face about what that meant, Deacon 47 spoke to the other butlers standing in the hallway.

“The monarch told me to have the family members of Sephira here as honored guests. You are the first distinguished guest of the Eslow family… You will have to be extra careful.”

Deacons numbered 52 through 58 nodded nervously.

Among them, butler number 52 spoke to Miles as a representative.

“I will guide Prince Mile and his companions to your room. We will take care of the carriage and the drivers waiting outside, so please follow us with confidence.”

Miles apologized to Deacon 52 for a moment before grabbing Keter’s arm.

“Keter. will it be okay? I don’t know what it is, but can I trust you and wait?”

“of course. Stretch out your feet and rest in peace.”

“… Please come back and explain.”

“I never get tired of bragging, so don’t worry.”

“Heh, thank you.”

At Keter’s complacency, Miles burst into a comfortable laugh.

So, the roads diverged.

Miles and the party went to a comfortable room, and Keter headed to Ryze’s bedroom under a watchful escort of knights.

After going through many long and tediously wide stairs and hallways, Keter found herself in front of a silver hallway.

The entire corridor is made of silver. There are no decorations or windows, as if it were not just for aesthetics.

Deacon 47 said, leading Keter to the room next to the hallway.

“Princess Keter. Master Ryze’s body is in a state of extreme vulnerability due to illness. Even the slightest germ can be deadly for Master Ryze, so you’ll need to clean up and wear a medical suit before you can enter.”

“It’s annoying. If you still have to do it.”

A minor hygiene problem for someone can threaten someone’s life. Such was Rise’s condition.

Keter would have snorted if he hadn’t learned medicine. However, because I knew it, I cooperated obediently.

Wash thoroughly from head to toe. Of course, Keter doesn’t have to do it, the beautiful ladies-in-waiting take care of it. everything to dry.

It took less than 5 minutes to wash and dry the body. After changing into a pure white robe, Keter was able to enter the silver corridor.

Butler No. 47, who had changed into the same white robe, guided Keter, and eventually stopped in front of the silver door at the end of the silver corridor.

profit.

The door opens on its own even without knocking.

As expected, the room was all silver. There were no windows, so the sight even gave the feeling of corroding the viewer’s mind.

A boy was lying on a bed in the middle of the room. A boy who is thin and pale, whose age cannot be guessed. Next to him, he saw an elderly man who was expected to be the chief physician.

The doctor’s expression as he looked at Keter was rotten.

It had to be.

A little while ago, he received an outrageous call.

“Sephirah’s blood relative Keter will go there to diagnose Ryze. Please actively cooperate.”

The attending physician had never heard of the family of Sephira and the name of Keter.

However, the Keter I met was very young. It was too blue, too young. Besides, isn’t the attitude very bad?

“Look at the room. I’m glad you’re out of your mind. If you stay in a room like this all day, you will get mental illness that you never had before.”

Nowhere in Keter’s poomsae as he walked along, did he feel the dignity of an aristocrat or the respect a doctor should have for his patients.

The attending physician blocked Keter’s path as he approached the lying Ryze.

“Nice to meet you. I am Curet Lazes of the Blood Cross.”

“Kether of Sephirah.”

“Excuse me, but I know of no group that handles medicine by the name Sephira. You seem to be a newcomer, which medical faction does Sephira belong to?”

To Curette’s question, butler number 47 spoke instead.

“Doctor Rajes. Sephira is not a medical group, but a master of archery, one of the seven great families of this kingdom. Prince Keter is the sixth of the Sephirah.”

“Ah, that’s right. Then which medical academy did Prince Keter come from? Seeing as you don’t know me, I’m not a member of the Blood Cross, Hippocrates? ah, i think i know Caduceus! A person like Confucius must belong to the Caduceus.”

“What is this Old Toad talking about all by himself? look away Let’s try the pulse first.”

Keter shoved the curette away and examined Ryze’s condition.

Curette, who had been pushed out, did not give in and continued to chatter.

“You don’t have to look. I already made the diagnosis without any mistake. Excessive accumulation of mana in the body has touched the nerve cells of the cranial nerve nuclei, causing simultaneous functional decline in the cerebral cortex and under the degraded cortex. At the same time, it is a very serious situation as it shows symptoms of gradual functional decline of major organs due to a long-term absence of consciousness. To solve this, I administered various stabilizers and supplements, and to calm the mana in an unstable state, I used an elixir made of blue heifers… … .”

“It’s noisy, so shut up. I’ll praise you for doing a good job of keeping him alive.”

Ryze’s appearance looks very stable. But, as Curette said, it only looked ‘good’ because she was given an incredibly expensive sedative and sedative.

Keter stroked Ryze’s face with her fingers. Powder that sticks to your fingers. I shook my head at this.

“There’s no way I have a good complexion, so I was wondering why it was so good, but you put on makeup? It is a very good thing.”

“It is made of natural ingredients that do not harm the body, so it should not be a burden on the body-”

Keter, ignoring Curette’s words, put her palms firmly on Ryze’s stomach this time.

“Ow.”

Admiration erupted from Keter’s mouth.

“Generally, they say that the limit of mana that can be accepted by a human body is 100 years. But what is this? His body is filled with nearly 300 years worth.”

“… To figure that out so quickly… . Confucius. If you are not of the school, who did you learn medicine under?”

“It will be a more dangerous procedure than I thought.”

“A procedure? What a dangerous sound! Even the slightest scratch on the skin would be catastrophic! It’s like saying you’re going to puncture a water balloon that’s about to explode!”

Deacon 47 also ignored the curette and spoke to Keter.

“The ruler told Confucius to support him with anything he needed.”

“I need a lot of things. write it down.”

Butler 47 took out a pen and paper and listened to Keter.

“4 blue spirit rings, 4 white flower petals, 6 volume rings, a lot of snow corn, a lot of gray-eyed drake horn powder, a handful of sea troll sap, lastly, this is the most important. Half-elf blood. keep in mind It’s a half elf. Not a real elf, not a quarter elf blood. Must be a half elf. And just in case, if you forcibly extract the blood of an elf, its nature will change into poison. You must have your consent.”

“… Do you really need this much preparation?”

Deacon number 47 wrote it down, but couldn’t believe it at all.

All of them are elixirs and alchemy ingredients that are hard to find even if you have money. Of course, it could be obtained with the breath of the monarch, but the most difficult thing was that it should not be the blood of a half-elf, even forcibly drawn.

“Ah, please ask for silk that has been aged for a thousand years. With a refreshing sweet taste.”

“Is that also necessary for surgery?”

“no? that’s what i drink I’m good at surgery when I’m a bit drunk.”

“… I understand for now. I will do my best to save you.”

“Exactly how long? Save me before the competition starts.”

“I’ll get it in two weeks.”

“Who knows what time is left. one week. If you think you can’t do it, get someone else.”

“… I will save you from my line.”

“okay. End of treatment.”

When Keter tried to leave, Curette expressed displeasure.

“Wait, how the hell are you going to do the operation? At least tell me how to do it. I’ll listen and see if it’s possible. Master Rise’s doctor is me!”

“Don’t worry. I still need someone to wipe my sweat off me during surgery.”

“I don’t believe in your medicine! To prove that treatment is possible!”

“Have you done it already?”

Curette was about to shout that it was a lie, but stopped. It was because I felt popular.

It was clearly a gesture from the bed Ryze was lying on.

Looking at Rise, Curette’s eyes widened and her mouth opened.

Ryze’s pale skin, which had been covered by makeup, was blushing. Even Rise’s fingertips were trembling slightly.

As Keter left the hospital room, he said it was nothing.

“The mana in the bone pain was temporarily removed. In an hour, my mind will be back in about 10 minutes. You can’t feed them or make them move.”

dump.

Curette sat down.

He is the first graduate of the Blood Cross Academy and at the same time a professor of ‘magic pathology’.

Although Curette is proud of her medical skills, she was unable to cure Rise. After spending tens of millions of gold over several decades, it only slowed down the disease.

However, Keter improved her condition in just 10 minutes. Just by putting the palm of your hand on his body for a moment, Ryze’s illness will be restored, and he will even regain consciousness, albeit for a short time.

Curette’s eyes, which were stained with despair, suddenly came back to life. Eventually, a smile came to mind.

It was because he remembered what Keter said he would use as an assistant in the operation.

Meanwhile, the aristocrats who had been keeping a close eye on Sephira also found out.

That Sephira’s carriage entered the city earlier than expected. and entered Eslow’s palace.

The nobles laughed loudly.

“Sephira is finally crazy!”

Even if there were no hotels that accepted them, it was a foolish act of suicide to go to the monarch’s palace.

They never dreamed that Sephira, who entered the palace, would be treated as an honored guest.

“To be able to destroy myself before the competition even starts. It saved me a lot of trouble!”

The hostile nobles laughed at Sephira’s actions and toasted.

However, not all nobles liked it. There were also nobles who were seriously concerned.

A coalition of four nobles behind the Ultima Merchant.

Sephira’s actions were also known to them.
