41 – The Amazing Kim Chul-soo Special Patch
The believers of the Urkyo religion gather for fellowship in a large temple.
In the case of the Western region where Count Roland is, the Eretz Temple is a hot place.
Count Roland, who loves going to the temple, boasted about his good health to his friends!
“Oh~ Is it because I went hiking last week? I’m full of energy.”
“You went hiking? Count Roland, you’re healthy.”
“Hehe, that’s right. It’s all thanks to Kim Chul-soo’s special patch!”
“Kim Chul-soo’s special patch?”
Count Roland proudly took out a white box from the Eretz Temple Square.
A luxurious box wrapped in a pink ribbon!
“I’m sure you all know that I often have swollen ankles because of my unusual gait. But, you know what? When I apply this, the swelling goes away! The pain is completely gone.”
“Wow… Not only the swelling but also the pain?”
In this era, there is no medicine that can eliminate swelling and pain.
There are medicinal herbs, but they are not well-known.
So, Count Roland’s friends were amazed by his words that this medicine eliminates pain and inflammation.
“It’s truly an amazing medicine. Count, can I try it too?”
“Hehe, Count Croix. Just wait and see. I’ve prepared everything for you, my friends.”
Count Roland took out many Kim Chul-soo special patches from his bag!
They were made by Kim Chul-soo specifically for Count Roland’s friends.
Count Roland’s friends received one Kim Chul-soo special patch each and were delighted!
“Thank you, Count Roland.”
“I’ll make good use of it.”
“Oh! These friends here. Thank Kim Chul-soo, not me. He’s the one who prepared it.”
As soon as they heard Kim Chul-soo’s name, Count Roland’s friends recognized it.
Kim Chul-soo, an outstanding healer who is shaking the Western region and the capital!
No one among Count Roland’s friends was unfamiliar with him, also known as Kim Charles.
“Hahaha, now I get to experience the benefits of the famous Kim Charles. Please convey my gratitude.”
“Of course.”
Count Roland glanced at his friends with satisfaction.
“Kim Chul-soo’s image has become quite good.”
Count Roland deliberately shifted the attention to Kim Chul-soo.
To manage Kim Chul-soo’s image!
If he improves Kim Chul-soo’s image from now on, he might receive congratulations from his friends when his daughter Catherine and Kim Chul-soo get married. The more congratulations from the nobles, the more powerful he becomes in the noble society.

Count Roland was already preparing for his son-in-law.
He didn’t know what kind of storm his actions would cause!

One of Count Roland’s best friends, Count Croix.
With a stylish mustache, Croix tripped in the temple square and his side swelled.
“Oh my, there are so many people.”
Many believers stumbled in the crowd.
Count Croix gently touched his side and listened to the worries of the attendants.
“Your Excellency! Are you alright?”
“Shall we go to the healing priest right away?”
“Mm.. It does hurt. To the healing priest… Oh, yes. Just stay still for a moment. I received this from Count Roland.”
Count Croix recalled Kim Cheol-soo’s special patch and opened the white pouch.
There was something black inside the pouch.
At first glance, it seemed strange, but Count Croix trusted the reputation of Count Roland and Kim Cheol-soo.
“If Count Roland praises it so much…”
I might as well try it now.
Thinking this, Count Croix lightly picked up the black lump and applied it to his side.
Then, a refreshing sensation spread, and the pain disappeared.
“Ah!”
Count Croix, who had been grimacing in pain, suddenly stood up.
“Your Excellency, are you okay?”
“Wow.. It really doesn’t hurt at all. It’s so amazing.”
The herbs known for relieving pain needed to be boiled and consumed, and it took about an hour for the effects to show.
But Kim Cheol-soo’s special patch had an immediate effect!
Count Croix marveled as he gently touched his side.
“This is truly an unbelievable efficacy.”
Even if he moved his fallen leg here and there, he couldn’t feel any pain.
Of course, the pain was the only thing that disappeared, so he would still go to the healing priest for now.
Count Croix felt great satisfaction!
Those who saw Count Croix applying the medicine widened their eyes and asked.
“Count Croix? Didn’t you just fall? You applied the medicine and suddenly got up. May we ask what medicine it is?”
“Oh, this. Actually, I don’t know much about it either. Haha, except that it was made by Kim Charles.”
“The medicine made by Kim Charles?”
“Yes.”
People were shocked.
A patient who had fallen and was writhing in pain, suddenly getting up after applying Kim Cheol-soo’s medicine.
It seemed like a panacea.
People murmured among themselves and gradually began to spread the word.
Among them, believers in the merchant profession wanted to monopolize this amazing item.
Priests with knowledge of herbs wanted to know the recipe for the medicine.
It was an event that took place in the Erz Cathedral.
* * *
Our territory was heavily crowded with people.
It’s common to have many patients, but the problem was that the gathered people weren’t patients.
They were merchants aiming for Kim Cheol-soo’s special patch.
Wherever they heard the rumors, they didn’t leave even after the treatment was over!
“Mr. Kims Charles, if you tell me the recipe for Kims Charles’s special paste, I will give you this gold.”
A man named Luchsengberg, who brought a pile of gold in a bag, approached me to make a deal.
He briefly showed the sparkling gold, and my heart wavered.
It was too much money to refuse. Or so I could convince myself!
**’What is it.’**
In fact, it was a lie, and my heart didn’t waver.
The visitors who came to me all brought piles of gold, to the point where gold had become familiar.
And I didn’t make Kim Chul-soo’s special paste to sell for money.
I made it to cure patients.
If I needed money, I could just change Kim Chul-soo’s free clinic to a paid one, so it wasn’t a problem.
There should be quite a few nobles who said to contact them if I needed money.
“Is there anyone in your family or among your relatives who is sick…?”
Still, I asked Luchsengberg out of courtesy.
If there’s someone sick around, I’ll give them one Kim Chul-soo’s special paste.
“No one is sick. I just thought I could make a lot of money by selling Kims Charles’s special paste,” he said.
“….”
As expected, he had just come to do business.
I politely sent Mr. Luchsengberg away and went out of the treatment room.
The merchants, gathered like a protest, completely blocked the entrance to the treatment room, making it difficult to return to the castle!
“Excuse me, please let me through!!”
I pushed through the crowd of merchants.
Darn it, I just want to go home from work!
Miss Catherine also tried to push through the crowd of merchants, but it wasn’t easy.
“Yikes! W-what’s going on, Kim Chul-soo!”
“Ugh… Kim Chul-soo’s special paste has become a hit, Miss Catherine.”
“A hit? Then that’s a good thing.”
“Well, yes.”
If the merchants don’t block our way!
“Mr. Kims Charles, how much will you sell the recipe for Kim Chul-soo’s special paste!?”
“Kims Charles, don’t you want to become the richest man in Larssa? Let’s make an exclusive contract with us for the paste and do business together. Then we’ll make sure you live comfortably for the rest of your life!”
The idea of living comfortably for the rest of my life was tempting, but
I have no intention of selling the paste recipe!
“If there are any patients, I will apply the special paste! Do we have any!?”
“….”
There were none.
These people seemed only interested in finding out the paste recipe and doing business.
“If you won’t give us the recipe, at least give us the paste!”
One of the merchants demanded the paste.
At this rate, I couldn’t possibly get through the crowd.
I threw Kim Chul-soo’s special paste far away!
“Parsley!”
The merchants flocked to where I threw the parsley, like zombies.
Among them, some of the merchants started a fierce competition to obtain the special parsley.
It felt like watching a supermarket bomb sale, and I was dumbfounded.
Catherine and I barely managed to reach Yeongjuseong.
We were three hours late compared to our usual time of return.
At this rate, I would be late for work tomorrow too!
A strategic meeting between Kim Chul-soo and Catherine was held in my room.
The participants of the meeting were Kim Chul-soo, Catherine, and myself.
The topic of the meeting, of course, was how to deal with all those merchants.
“Ugh… If things continue like this, it will be difficult to go to work tomorrow.”
“It’s a problem.”
“Kim Chul-soo, can’t you just sell the recipe to the merchant who bids the highest?”
“Well… I didn’t create the special parsley to sell it for money. I want to use it for patients who are in urgent need and can’t afford it.”
“Then what should we do?”
To be honest, I had already thought about it.
To simply release Kim Chul-soo’s special parsley without any conditions.
If everyone knows the recipe for my parsley, won’t it reach the patients who really need it?
“Should I just release the recipe?”
“Release the recipe for free? Won’t that be a waste?”
“Well, this way, patients who can’t afford it and are in desperate need can get the medicine.”
What I want is to treat the patients.
If Kim Chul-soo’s special parsley becomes expensive, it might not reach the patients who really need it.
I thought about releasing it for free.
But there’s one thing I want to add.
“However, I have one condition. When using the medicine for free, they must! attach my name to it.”
It’s the Kim Chul-soo franchise strategy!
Why do discoveries or inventions like dinosaurs or medicine always have the name of the person who first discovered or created them?
It’s something similar.
When using the birdwood parsley, they have to attach my name to it.
The advertising effect would be tremendous.
If I start a business later and put my name on it, it will be an instant hit.
But Catherine looked at me as if I was some kind of extraordinary sacred person.
“Is it possible that Kim Chul-soo is a disciple sent by Ju Ur-ga?”
“A, a disciple? I told you, I was an atheist.”
“Well, it’s just surprising how much you care about others. I agree. Let’s make sure to swear that the parsley should always bear Kim Chul-soo’s name.”
“Sounds good.”
I just need to make them attach my name to it, like it’s a copyright or something.
The next day, Kim Chul-soo wrote the recipe for Kim Chul-soo’s parsley on a huge signboard and showed it to everyone!
The merchants and patients eagerly received and used the recipe.
Everyone swore to name Kim Chul-soo when using the paste.
Thanks to this, Kim Chul-soo’s name spread throughout the Larssa Empire!
A priest, Kim Chul-soo, who selflessly revealed an excellent medicine recipe for patients.
People who heard the rumors praised Kim Chul-soo with admiration!
