Chapter 553 A Beautiful Medicine
If this old man is not too confident, then he must be crazy.
That's what Arrow is saying about the Earl now.
"Well, it's hard to understand...... It's really hard to understand. After all...... Nominally, you're behind the destruction of the True Eye. You've ruined all my decades of hard work. Just in a moment! I'm afraid it's hard for a person to believe it, right? How can an industry that has been in operation for decades be ruined so easily? yes, but it's actually that fast. Accumulation is a very difficult thing to do, but it is often very easy to destroy. The so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, in fact, how can it be so easy. β
Count Ruiying touched his slightly curvy beard and looked up at the ceiling, and it was obvious that the old man didn't seem to have taken good care of his appearance for a whileβ
"Hmm...... Let me think, where to start explaining? Well...... By the way, I'll just say that. β
It seemed that he had finally thought of a beginning, and Count Rui Ying smiled and lowered his head to look at Arrow in front of him again-
"Do you know about Du Lengjia's medicine?"
Du Lengjia? It's Du Lengjia again?!
After Count Eagle appeared in his guild, Arrow had imagined countless terrible reasons, but he had never thought of such a terrible thing!
Why is it Du Lengjia again?
Why does this terrible drug appear in my ears again?
But for Count Eagle, he didn't seem to care much about Arrow's flustering at this moment. In other words, seeing Arrow's suddenly stunned expression now, he seemed a little happy, smiled again, and said slowly, "It seems that you know very well." β
"No, I don't know."
Arrow replied quickly, and it wasn't a lie.
He really didn't know what Du Lengjia's drug was, after all, all the bits and pieces of information he had obtained before added up, and they all gave Ai Luo a kind of "this is an addictive drug, with three effects: sedative, crazy, and increasing libido".
But, what about other than that?
This president really doesn't know.
In this regard, Count Ruiying silently stared at Arrow's eyes, and after looking at these transparent eyes, he nodded slightly, and said slowly-
"Almost twenty years ago, the war between our Blue Bay Empire and the Hunter Empire, you should know about it, right? Since you are a student of Lao Teng Shu, this kind of history class will definitely not be left behind. β
Seeing Arrow nod slightly, Count Ruiying continued-
"The situation in that battle was even worse than we had imagined. Everything happened so fast that a lot of soldiers were not ready...... With a lot of officers, a lot of nobles. Even Your Majesty...... It can be said that our entire Blue Bay Empire is not fully prepared. β
"War can never happen only when you're ready. But this is the case, because of the lack of preparation, the Blue Bay Empire paid a huge price. The most obvious is that the casualties of the soldiers on the front line have become very terrible, and the terrible war has almost destroyed the bodies and minds of many soldiers. I mean...... Destruction in the truest sense of the word. β
Although the war soon ended with a peace agreement between the two sides, the wounds of the war remained. A large number of soldiers on the front line have had their hands and feet cut off or their internal organs pierced, and they have not received timely medical attention. In such a situation, they are suffering a lot day and night. β
"In addition, there are also those soldiers who are not physically disabled, but because they have experienced the battlefield and seen the tragic conditions on the battlefield, they have left behind mental illnesses of all sizes. The number of these soldiers is no less than the number of mutilated soldiers. β
"Physically disabled soldiers need a lot of medical assistance, but in fact, the Blue Bay Empire at that time was not prepared, and naturally there were not so many priests who could come to treat them. And those soldiers who have been mentally devastated will become very irritable and irritable when they return to our territory, and the slightest thing seems to provoke them to act in extreme ways. And this kind of behavior is something that those pastors can't treat, and it's a state of complete helplessness. β
"And in this case, there is a medical officer of a generation of pharmaceuticals, but he proposed a very peculiar treatment to His Majesty."
The medical officer expressed concern about the mental health of the soldiers, as well as the pain and helplessness of the disabled soldiers. So, he appealed to us humans with an innate right to reject suffering. β
"'We humans are not animals, nor are we those abominable and lowly beasts! We are God's people, and we have the power to decide whether we want to suffer or not! If this pain is not welcomed by us, then we humans need to reject it and have the right to say no! ββ
"President Arrow, think about it, if your guild members can refuse the pain during the battle and no longer have any fearful emotions, then how terrifying your guild's combat power will become? You should be able to understand this. β
Arrow didn't say anything, he just listened to them silently, while silently thinking about the consequences of such a notion in his heart.
But he didn't have to think about it, Rui Ying had already told him directly what was going to happen-
"So, how can we humans have the power to reject 'pain'? At this time, the medical officer took out a medicine that they had quietly developed. β
Hearing this, Arrow suddenly understood!
"This medicine has a great pain-relieving effect. Even if it is a painful pain such as a broken hand or foot on the battlefield, or even a kidney being directly pierced, as long as you take this medicine, the pain all over your body will be as if it is gone. β
"Wounded soldiers can even smile and talk to the doctor who performed the operation after taking the drug. The whole process will be very easy and enjoyable. β
"In addition to relieving pain, the medicine also has a feeling of relief that makes you feel like you're floating in the clouds. After taking this drug, bullying in the military will be significantly reduced. Soldiers suffering from mental illness will become very quiet after taking the medication, and will not need any additional treatment at all. β
"Because of these effects, His Majesty quickly approved the large-scale production of this drug, and sent it to the front in large quantities during the war, for soldiers who were anxious about the deep war environment."
And after the war ended, the medical officer did not stop stopping the drug. On the contrary, with its powerful pain relief and calming effect in a state of war, it was pushed to a very lofty level by soldiers, officers, and doctors in charge of treatment on the front line. With this prestige, the medical officer quickly democratized and mass-produced these drugs. Factories in their territory began to produce the drug at full capacity. The alchemists who were employed by them continued to make extensive improvements to the drug. β
"So, under the slogans of 'safe', 'pain', 'convenient', etc., this drug has become a drug officially recognized by our empire, and thus promoted to every corner of the Blue Bay Empire."
"President Arrow, believe me here, you should know the name of this medicine, right?"
Memories of the past came to an abrupt end, and Arrow took a silent breath. The name lingered in his throat for a long time, and finally slowly, it came outβ
"Du Lengjia ......"
Earl Rui Ying nodded lightly, and when he said this name, there was a little tiredness in the eyes of this once radiant old man?
"That's right, Du Lengjia. However, the name is no longer a separate sedative drug, but a general term for every drug produced by this family. And now, the Du Lengjia sold by this family has reached the ninth generation. The latest ninth-generation Dulenjia claims to have a more convenient, safe, and soothing effect, and the taste of this product is already very light compared to the strange pungent taste that was unique to previous generations, and it can also be fully dissolved in water. In this case, as long as you add a little sugar, then it is no different from ordinary sugar water. β
The slogan claims that the drug is an excellent alternative for those who are afraid to take it. But well...... President Arrow, you are the leader of an adventurer's guild, I believe that you don't need me to point it out, you should also understand what a terrible thing this so-called better ninth generation can become once it is used in the wrong place, right? β
Arrow's face darkened.
Margaux in the back pinched his chin, thought for a moment and said, "A powerful sedative...... Colorless, odorless, soluble in water...... In this case, a man only needs to put a little in sugar water for a woman to drink, and when the woman falls asleep, isn't it ...... Hehe, this kind of plot sounds really 'interesting'. β
Count Eagle's gaze glanced at Margaux, but Margaux looked at Eagle without any fear in his eyes. Now she silently clenched the staff of light in her hand, looking at the count condescendingly at him.
Seeing Margaux's eyes so confident now, Rui Ying let out a contemptuous sneer again and said, "I really didn't expect your guild to keep this prostitute until now." President Arrow, I always thought your interests were different from those of ordinary men, but now it seems ...... It doesn't make a difference. β
Before Arrow could speak, the staff of light lifted slightly, and landed again, making a firm and crisp sound.
