Parallel World Pharmacy

6: 16: The Holy Emperor and the gene that leaps

When Palais returned to the Imperial Capital at full speed, the destroyed de Medicis family was there.

"Mother! Are you okay!

Palle realizes something has happened on this occasion and calls Beatrice's name in a plundered voice.

I returned home without a drop of water and sickened my horse, wrapped in thin Xia.

Looking around with the thought of no way, there are signs of people in the courtyard. As Palle approached him as he pulled out his cane, Pharma applied treatment to the wounded Cedric, where Beatrice was just watching over it worryingly.

Mother, are you all right?

"Palle⁉ How come you're back... I told you not to come back. The others!

Beatrice seemed puzzled by the return of his eldest son following his second.

Pallet explains in a snarling manner.

"The others have been sent to a proper and safe place, don't worry, Mother."

"Welcome back, brother. Mr. Cedric, this is fine for now."

"Thank you, Master Pharma. It's a scratch."

"No, it wasn't a scratch."

Palle speaks to Pharma after Cedric's treatment.

"Farma, you've come back often. As you can see, the Empire is scattered, and I'm out of divine power. What are we gonna do after this? No matter how long it lasts, the divine powers of the entire Empire will run out in less than a month. When the sun sets, new evil spirits will follow from nowhere."

Summarizing the story briefly, there was a rush from Palais, which folded into Pharma.

"Oh, I know. We have to do something."

"Do you have any thoughts from the drug god? Is this situation in the capital the will of the patron saint?"

Palle grabs both shoulders of Pharma with strong force. Its fingertips eat into its shoulders much harder.

"... I can't even stop you anymore. Even if the Empire can be protected, other nations out of reach are about to be consumed and destroyed by evil spirits. Nothing more than temporarily asking His Majesty to keep his life."

"Are you the lead court pharmacist, yet trying to put His Majesty the Emperor in danger of his life?

Palle's eyes shoot through Pharma sharply. It was an impatient phase. The de Medicis family has a long history as court pharmacists. I doubt the pharmacist would be calm if he threatened the emperor.

"Yes... but I promise to protect Your Majesty's life. I can't think of anything other than this."

The siblings' gaze hits hard. And Palle saw Farma as not making a passive decision.

"Okay. Whether you become a rebel minister or not, do what you think is best for the sake of this world, as God wills, the medicine that gives you the heavens. If I fail, I'll come up to the execution bench with you. Mother, I'm glad."

"... Yep, there are no differences. I wonder why all three of our men are like this. Always like this, always!

"Nothing like this, either. We do what we believe."

"Already... you look just like him in that tone"

Moaning, Beatrice looks firmly at Pharma.

Palle slapped Pharma on the back with a batin and tempered him.

"Go, Farma"

"Come on."

Pharma laid down her gaze once and turned to the two of them to breathe in.

"I'm coming."

"I can't believe the real evil spirits show up this time."

Melody, who guided the families de Médicis and Bonufois, including Lotte and Blanche, to the mansion on the territory of the city of Lambue, became a host and recommended tea to guests.

"This medicine the pharmacist gave me is my lifeline. You don't have to look at something scary, and I can stay."

Melody, who suffers from schizophrenia, still cannot let go of the medicines prescribed by Pharma. Melody's own medical condition is in stabilisation and she continues to take medication while counseling Pharma.

When she was called Evil Spirit Possessed, Melody was fighting the fantasies she could see in herself. Ironically, her experience of continuing to fight "evil spirits" was successful, and her divine skill was kept to a certain standard. When that she encountered an evil spirit that was not hallucinating, I felt as though her previous misery had been for this time.

"It's time to fight."

"Dear Melody, that was cool"

Blanche turns to what he longs for. Blanche's master is Ellen, but it seems that her brave figure burned into Blanche's eyes. Lotte questions the melody.

"Where did the evil spirits come from?"

"They say evil spirits are human spirits, animal spirits, spirits that have occurred in nature. Strong thoughts remain there and become spirits, evil spirits. It's something we don't normally see by the temple's boundaries and the divine arts, but it reminds us that we're always on top of a dangerous world and threatened."

"Is there anything I can do too that doesn't have divine power?

"Right... I wonder what it is. Don't be weak, be strong. Evil spirits are created by thought, so when a man's heart is weakened, he is attached to the evil spirits and empowers them."

"Really...... I hold my heart strong"

Lotte, who has actually been possessed by evil spirits, nods whether there was anything to think about.

Melody, who was watching how it went, hit Pong in the hand as she came up with it.

"That's not all you're worried about, is it? Speaking of which, there is a divine art that you can handle without having to be a divine artist. Shall I tell you? There is only a little bit of divinity that nobles who have lost their wand and who have lost their divine power use as a preliminary technique against evil spirits."

"What, do you do theology ⁉ I am a civilian... theology?

"I know very well you're a civilian."

"Dear Melody, But I have heard that there is a code that should not be taught in detail about divine art to civilians..."

Lotte asks frightened and naughty.

"Though contraindicated, divinity is something I teach my prospective counterparts. I work with you and I don't think your talent is inferior to theological use"

Melody makes me wink mischievously.

And what she brought with her was a note from the fairly thick Fire Divine Corps, which she herself seems to have written so far. For the first time, Lotte saw a description of divinity. With the exception of forbidden books, which cannot be read by the civilian population, there are no books related to divinity, and divinity users inherit divinity by mouth from a teacher to a disciple. But Melody said that since he developed schizophrenia, in order not to forget the divine art himself, it was a system and left a seal.

"I have various seals, but I'll give you this record."

"Such a precious thing… I will copy it back later in a copy"

"That would help."

"Thank you! What am I supposed to do with this?

"It's easy. Write this pattern with a special oil that has been purified and burn it with a seed fire made by a divine artist. Draw it big and let it in, and it will also be a juncture you can't get close to vulgar evil spirits. It's not as powerful as the divine arts used by theists, but it's enough for a temporary defense. You were good at painting."

Melody laughs, takes the scepter, and makes a special divine flame appear in divine art as merciful with his palms.

Her transparent and powerful divine flame, the Holiness, created a vibrant seed fire.

"This is the seed fire. I make holy oil on a regular basis, so I hope it comes when I run out."

Melody put it in a special glass furnace and presented it to Lotte.

And also give the holy oil in a water bottle. Lotte makes her face shine as a delightful gift of melody.

"Divine art, do you want to practice in the garden? I'll tell you."

"Ha! Please!

Lotte nodded with a nervous face. I envy Blanche for watching that.

"Fine. I want you to teach me the art of fire, too. - Cool."

"Unfortunately, Blanche is a water attribute that conflicts with fire, so I can't tell you. Besides, I still don't think this god formation is too complicated to write."

"Ahhh."

Blanche makes his mouth snap.

"Um, speaking of which, what do we do about the end of the fire after we burn the Divine Arts? You know, burning somewhere and getting on fire."

"It will not burn anywhere but holy oil, because igniting with divine flames that have no orientation will only burn holy oil, and then it will disappear. If you practice in your room, it won't set you on fire."

"Good. Because I shouldn't burn your mansion."

After several hours of special training in Lotte and Melody......

Lotte can now write some basic evil spirit paying divine formations.

She is not a theological user, but has begun to master groundbreaking theology activated by the divine power of melody.

"That's it for today, then tomorrow. Let's take a break, Mr. Charlotte is better than I thought. Most of all, it's accurate and fast, I'm surprised. I can't even write in the profession of the divine arts, I'd like to officially disciple you if you were a divine artist, unfortunately."

"It is an honor, to share your valuable knowledge and what can I thank you for… I would like to thank you in the painting"

"Pictures would be nice, but I was wondering if you could make a treat. The fruit pie you had in your shop was delicious."

"Pleasure!

For Lotte, it turned from a situation that had been beaten to powerlessness to a meaningful and exciting alienation.

"Sire, I sincerely apologize for this situation while I was serving you"

Then just three days later. Pharma apologized with indignation to the Empress, who would come to the Rite of Reign during the refrain leading up to the Holy National Centre.

"Don't point that creepy face at me."

Farma turned back from the Imperial Capital to the Empress and made his way to the high priesthood. The Empress accepted Pharma's prophecy, revealing to the Holy Nation the location of the melting party, and was to serve concurrently as a high priest.

Although the Empress was not a clergyman, she was studying imperialism under the temple, so much of her basic divine skill and divinity as a high priest is common to what she was mastering, and the prospect is that the takeover of divine divinity will take place smoothly.

With this, the Saint-Fluve Empire is the carriage of annexing the Holy Nation.

I suppose the perception of the Holy Nation has the thought of making the Saint Fluve Empire a nation, but it was the Holy Nation that was placed under its control because of the substantial difference in force. There was also unlikely to be a revolt or anything, as in the holy kingdom we absolutely view the authority of the high priest.

"As it turns out, if you think the Holy Nation has it, it can be that bad. Besides, it was among the rest of the plot from the beginning to arouse a new sect that revered the patron saint. What, it's only nominal to receive a high priest"

He's strong against Pharma, but he seems anxious inside.

"I'm not going to run or hide for the rest of this."

Farma was silently listening to her words like that.

(She'd think I'd given up, but rather the other way around. Still to scratch)

Temporarily lose in the phase and win in the big picture. Pharma is going to do that. Even if he continues to flee without becoming a high priest like this, the melting party is all programmed to make sure that she melts on both eclipse days.

Then incorporate her into the routine so that the data of the great clergy accumulated so far can be used without undue delay. The curse from the molecular cell biological approach of the melting formation comes from that.

When the door of the cathedral is opened for a fixed time, the high priests of the Holy Land gather and fall down on her.

After the reign of prayer, she was crowned and, as a priest, awarded the title "Holy Elizabeth I" and the scepter, to reign in the high priesthood.

As the first words of the highest priests and heads of state of the Holy Nation, she assembled the priests in the square and said away in a hard manner.

"With his current liturgy, the rest was assigned to the High Priest of the Holy Nation as Holy Emperor Elizabeth II. As the rest governs the Holy Nation, there are some things to proclaim when you first do so. The rest venerate the Pharma de Medicis, which houses the God of Medicine, the contemporary patron saint. Those who scorn the Patron God, those who do not swear allegiance, and those who rebel shall be considered rebels against the Remainder and the Holy Nation. He may leave the temple immediately."

Farma, pointing at the water, is deeply bewildered by the Empress, who speaks in an unspeakable tone.

But neither that nor this can be denied that it seems to be a standing around to keep the empress stream Pharma safe, just so much so that it is disgusting. She did not make her position as the sacrifice of the tragedy chosen for the gear of feel fine dust, but took the heavy burden backwards and was trying to master the Holy Nation completely with a hard attitude.

"Pharma is not the enemy then. In the past, there may be evil gods, but Pharma is different. I have rescued the hearts and sickness of numerous people, the rest being witnesses to his goodness!

Farma evokes an edge with her as she watches the empress complaining from close range without hesitation. She goes on to teach the shrewd priests.

"Then throw away now the consciousness that a priest who knows the pivot of divine art is chosen by God and a privileged class. Then I am the servant of God and the peoples of the world, and the Holy Nation must be the most neutral and impartial world organization. Swear to be the guardian of the most robust society for security beyond the state and lean on the hearts and minds of its citizens"

The priests are ostensibly following the Empress's intention to become an orthodox high priest. And a great prayer as a reign ceremony and so forth took place. There seemed to be a few patron saints in the holy kingdom who were also medicinal gods, and when they received prayer from them, they felt divine power flowing into Pharma.

After his reign, he received a special scepter, and when he finished the ritual of the local town that allowed divine power to pass to one of the great divine arts formations that spread the cathedral to its starting point, light overflowed from the great divine arts formations and began to run through the divine path to various parts of the world like fiber optics. Pharma saw it through and the Empress completed her first great task.

Because she consumed a great deal of divine power, the Empress sat at the desk.

The priests who are in the mood surround her.

"The evil spirits will be driven away and the light will return to the world with the help of their servants. The functions of the temples everywhere have been fully restored."

High priests also praise the Empress for her arms. Giuliana, who takes care of herself around her, began to silently calculate the divine power lost by the Empress and distill the holy water from the crystal stone for the restoration of divine power. The Empress drove the priests out of the room and spoke to the remaining Pharma.

"Farma, I have to apologize for the rest, but you've done what you hate the most."

"No, such a thing..."

Pharma shakes her head. What the Empress is apologizing for would be that she has deified Pharma in the Holy Domestic.

We can't say this now, we can't afford it, it's a mutual situation. Failure to grasp the power of the Holy Nation would also affect her reign of the Saint-Fluve Empire.

Farma took a look in the Empress's speech at the thought that we cannot make the Saint-Fluve Empire a puppet state of the Holy Nation with many people.

"I know that you have consistently behaved like a human being. But if I tell you about the Holy Nation, which is tied to precedent and disciplined, something strange will not appear. Anyway, they were raiding until the other day. We have to do what's right."

"You're right. Excessive care, thank you."

With Pharma officially certified as the patron saint incarnate in the Holy Domestic, he was no longer hostile from the priests since, but he was prayed to by the priests wherever he walked that he had always been surrounded by a group of escorts or surveillance, and Pharma felt very narrowly shouldered.

But in exchange for its inconvenience and uncomfortability, Farma gained free access to all the treasures of the Holy Nation. The treasure originally belonged to the patron saint, because the empress determined. This was a privilege I didn't even wish for.

Within just a few days of taking office, the Holy Emperor also began a great reform against the reign of the Holy Nation, as she did within the Empire. She immediately abandoned her vanity and dissolved the Temple Privy Department. In order to protect settlements across the continent from evil spirits, he ordered the reorganisation of the organization to deploy armed clerics most efficiently, with a focus on populated districts. Next, it was decided one after another to transfer the central functions of the Holy Nation to the Saint-Fluve Empire.

He placed the trustworthy Salomon in charge of the Holy Nation, entrusting it with the governance of the Holy Nation and the monitoring of the gears of . Upon hearing Pharma's story, Salomon immediately ordered a grasp and investigation of the location of the curse scattered around the world. And the place with the curse was forced to carry out thoughtful manpower measures and seals.

Pharma, who participates in major meetings, is asked by the Holy Emperor for his opinions and is busy, but used the drug scepter to travel back and forth from the Empire to the Holy Nation night after night to observe the course of the sick Ellen.

At night, Ellen, who is admitted to the Imperial Pharmaceutical University's Medical School Annex Hospital, greets Pharma in the hospital room as troubled.

"... here we go again?

"I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm going to see Lotte in Lambue City."

Lotte is Lotte, and there are still influences possessed by evil spirits, and Pharma has not failed to observe the progress.

"Even more so, you don't have to come back and forth to Empire City. I'll be busy every day. I'm fine, I can walk now, so I don't want to worry so much."

"I want to see the postoperative course, and I'm worried about you. Your Majesty, I have your permission. Anything inconvenient?

Even though Pharma had left Ellen's daytime procedures to Claude, the surgeon, she wouldn't be comfortable unless she came regularly to see how things were going.

"The chief samurai is treating me, so I don't have any inconvenience, as much as I have a slight fever. It's just too convenient to have better eyesight."

"What are you going to do with the tons of glasses you had?

"I'll think about that again. Farma, I wonder if that's what happened because I had your blood transfused."

"I'm not sure what happened."

Nevertheless, Ellen's ability to pass on some of the medication's divine marks to her left wrist due to a blood transfusion seems to remain in the left eye examination eye. Moreover, it has specifications such as the beta version that it is possible to search for the name of the disease, but not for the treatment.

Furthermore, the attributes of her divinity are, as always, water attributes, which cannot be like material creation, material erasure. Ellen's shadow disappears, her body is clear, and there's no such anomaly. Also, I was wondering if blood transfusions would give me the ability to share, and this seems different.

"Then Farma, you got one of your abilities, didn't you? I can see the location of the illness and get the exact name of the illness... this is what you were able to do"

"There's something else I kept to myself."

Pharma tells me it's obvious.

More than this, Ellen and I have to share secrets.

If she can now use her diagnostic eye, I'm comfortable with what happened to Pharma ahead. It was just that she seemed to consume nearly enough divine power for a day when she used her diagnostic eye. Then Pharma thinks it's unusable for routine practice.

"Hey, can I see you?

"Me ⁉"

"No?"

"No, but don't be nervous"

Farma's voice nods to Ellen's unexpected offer.

With an eye exam, see Pharma. That's something Farma has never been able to do before.

Naturally, Pharma had never seen herself through her eyes before.

Instead, I didn't see anything even if I looked through the mirror.

Ellen gently put her hand on her left eye. The brilliance of the diagnostic eye resides.

Tasted a fresh mood for Pharma to witness the use of the diagnostic eye by others, but strained his spine.

"Is that it? Strange. Farma, you look bright red from the top of your head to your toes, and no one else does."

"That bright red look doesn't cure illness, it also happens when you see people dying just now"

"You were so sick... I didn't know. I wonder what kind of illness it is."

"I appreciate you worrying about me, but I guess I won't hit it"

Ellen chanted something out loud, but at the end of the day she said "surrender" and threw a spoon. Maybe what the original Pharma body means is dead, or abnormal as a person. It's harder to interpret than being full of anomalies in the first place.

"Well, I'll be back. I'll go to Lotte's and go back to Holy Land."

Farma also had it in her ear that Lotte was learning a divine art that could be used without divine power from the melody.

"That's amazing, Lotte worries too. Careful, don't hit a flying bird."

"Actually, if you're blurry, you're gonna bird strike."

Pharma examines Ellen before returning to the Holy Land with a joke.

"Mmm."

"What's going on?

"Speaking of which, there's still light all over Ellen's body and she's feverish, but don't worry about the heat absorption after the tissue's been destroyed or bled, or even if it's a fever caused by cytokines, it's day five now, but it won't dissolve. You can walk, but don't force yourself to rest during the day."

"Maybe that's because of the curse of Batterasur, not because of heat absorption or something..."

Ellen began to talk about the upside of the psychotropic formulation.

Having heard the whole story, Pharma can't block her open mouth.

"To help Lotte, my brother and I fell under the curse of a spiritual drug whose life expectancy is halved ⁉ why won't you tell me right away!

"Oh, I'm sorry... I didn't want to upset you when I heard about the curse."

"Sorry about this one... thanks for saving Lotte's life"

Ellen thought a little and questioned Pharma.

"Hey, Mr. Farma. I think this curse is an infectious disease, but I wonder if it's the same curse you're saying that was put on your majesty."

"I don't know. Can you give me a good look?

Pharma uses the diagnostic eye. Ellen stands in front of Pharma trying to cover her chest with both arms.

"Farma, your eye exam, it's eye-catching again. I'm a little overwhelmed."

"Don't make me laugh..." "Infection." "

Changes occurred in blue light indicative of disease or lesion.

This reaction indicates that Ellen is infected with something.

"Sounds like a hit, that's Ellen! Speaking of infections... Uh,” bacteria, "” fungus, "” parasite, "” virus, "” viroid, "” prion. "

I'll open it one by one.

None of them are affordable, even if they try to discern from the rough classification.

"You know it's an infection, but you can't hit any of it..."

Pharma felt the excitement awaken.

"Hey, Mr. Farma. You're not saying that nucleic acid fragments and enzymes invade cells at will, like the other day when you genetically treat Mr. Oygen with genome editing, is an infection?

"That's gene therapy, I wouldn't call it an infection... That won't happen unless you do it artificially..."

(But if it didn't happen naturally, but what the tomb guard or former patron saint deliberately did...? not surprising that the curse is controlled by an artificial nucleic acid sequence)

That's the idea on my mind.

"" peptide introduction ""

"" Transgene ""

Pharma opens to her eyes as she feels her whole body draw blood.

Thinking of it as genetic transduction, the blue light reacted slightly.

"Oh, I hit it!

"Liar. Gene transduction is better?

He has the face that Ellen would be lying. Pharma is also too unexpected to make me laugh half way.

"It hit me. The moment I was cursed for making a psychic drug, there was some kind of genetic fragment inside Ellen and her brother, and it turned all over her body on the bloodstream? But if it's just a genetic fragment, it'll be diluted with blood, and it won't increase."

So what are the genes that have been getting into it? Pharma begins to think.

When Ellen formulated the spiritual medication, she made a wound and became infected, with which she was subjected to a curse that took half her life.

(… has a self-amplifying array, for example)

"" Introduction of transposon ""

The light that dwelt in Ellen turned completely red. I hit it.

"What's transposon?

A transposon is a DNA fragment that moves around a cell. It's not a virus, but it comes from the outside and enters the genome on its own, creating its own replication.

The replication that can be done becomes a new transposon.

(transposon might work it out)

Falma's face flashed unexpectedly, so Ellen made up her mind.

"Are you happy it's transposon?

Pharma felt convinced. Ellen does it right.

(No, just because transposon doesn't just get into the cell... there must have been something plus alpha introduced into the cell. There will remain a mystery there, but do you do any manipulation when you mix psychic drugs?

Farma writes on paper because Ellen is confused because she doesn't know about transposons while she thinks so on.

"" The moon is beautiful tonight. ""

"What, the moon, it's not out?

"Suppose there was a gene in the sequence in that order. And there's a certain sequence, for example," Tomorrow it's sunny, "which is transposon."

”Tonight's the moon. Tomorrow's the sunshine."

"You've got a sentence between star and star. What's a star?

"The transposon has a landmark array in front and back like a star. While this star is attached, it can be moved anywhere in the genome by enzymes that work to target the star and cut it out and put it elsewhere. But if the star is missing, the landmark will disappear and you won't be able to move. Because of this nature, transposons are also known as” moving genes. "

"You get a star.” It's sunny tomorrow tonight, but it's beautiful. "You can't move the array as it is. The text doesn't make sense anymore."

"Yes, the insertion of a short sequence has crushed this gene. There are many remains of this transposon-containing sequence left in the human body. I guess."

(Well, there's really a lot of transposon debris left, or I haven't looked that far at the analytical data)

A few all-genomic analyses that Pharma did before didn't afford to check that far, but if you look into that, you might find out what it is.

"Eh! Out of the way!"

"It's not all in the way, either."

This is not an extraordinary phenomenon, and there have been reports that a third of the mammalian genome on Earth and about 40% of the human genome see the remains of this transposon entering the genome. Transposons can destroy genes and cause mutations when DNA fragments are inserted into the genome, but on the contrary, it is believed that they have facilitated evolution.

"Um, I'm not sure about that moving gene, Farma. Was it in your textbook, too?

"I wrote about a page."

"Sorry, reread it!

It was Ellen, who was cut off by Pharma and twisted.

"Suppose, what good is this curse cure cure?

"Uh, like recognizing and cutting out a label sequence like the star of the transposon that's been in me? But even if you cut it out, you're going into another genome."

"Whatever the array of curses incorporated into Ellen was, I already have the enzyme to cut this transposon from star to star without a trace and prevent it from entering the genome again. So this is it..."

Pharma asks the examining eye. Ellen and I meet each other in the eye. Pharma opened up.

"" Active transposase ""

The light that was wrapping Ellen in red, completely disappeared.

"Sounds like the right answer, Ellen's, looks like this should do it"

Therapeutic policy was established. Pharma breathed in relief.
