Volume 3 Chapter 8

The chief priest brought the thick scriptures from another room and placed them in front of Falma. It was said that the scriptures with ornate decoration are as thick as the dictionary; it was a handwritten book and not the original ma.n.u.script. The chief priest summarized the parts of the scriptures that describe the Medicine G.o.d.

The Medicine G.o.d suddenly appeared in the year before the epidemic.

The G.o.d who borrowed the figure of a girl said that she was the "Medicine G.o.d,” and told people about the epidemic disease and said she gave the appropriate medicine to those who are sick.

She had a perfect holy insignia in the shape of thunder in her right hand and flew in the sky with a staff.

Medicine G.o.d was invulnerable, immortal and had a body that could pa.s.s through matter.

She has the power to go back and forth between Heaven and Earth and sometimes returned to the heavenly world with the power of the holy spring.

The Medicine G.o.d did not come to Earth regularly, and at one point she went back to heaven never came back.

It seemed that the Medicine G.o.d appeared only once a year.

And only the Staff of Medicine G.o.d remained as a treasure.

“That was such a story … Thank you.”

[It's already been a year since my reincarnation. For now, there are no signs of disappearance.]

“How old was the medicine G.o.d?”

Falma who heard the Empress' story suspected that it was a 10-year-old saint who appeared.

“I do not know that far, I have not communicated with the girl"

In the end, it was not known whether the Medicine G.o.d was possessed by the girl or the G.o.d itself had descended to this realm.

[The situation of my reincarnation a short time ago is the same as the legend of the Medicine G.o.d for I have spread the knowledge about the global epidemic as well the cure. Though I don't know if she's immortal]

Falma understood the reason why those who saw his ability and his Holy Insignia recognized him as the Medicine G.o.d. Or rather, because he had seen quite a match from a long time ago, he cannot escape.

[Aside from whether I am immortal or not, I do not even know how to go to Heaven.]

There was also a hope that the “heavenly realm” would be this world.

The G.o.ds who came to this world had returned to Earth..

If so, Falma thought that he himself, that he could return to Earth.

"Oh, that's right. Come to think of it, the other Guardian G.o.ds also comes to this realm frequently right?"

[I'd love to consult with other G.o.ds, perhaps it might be an inner Earthling person]

“When you are down here in this realm, no other G.o.ds will come down”

“What!?”

Falma sighed in disappointment.

Each Guardian G.o.d was said to descend to the Earth one by one. While the G.o.d of Medicine is in this realm, no other G.o.d shall descend. Until a few hundred years ago, it seems that something changed. Instead of descending down frequently, it was said that the G.o.ds had not come down recently. Before the G.o.ds disappeared, they left behind hidden treasures. So many treasures were left on this realm, and they seem to be only a relic because they cannot be used without being touched by human beings in general.

“So, only Falmsama, or the G.o.d of Medicine, is the only G.o.d who now dwells in this realm. It's inspiring to be on the same realm with you, and what I mean is that you are very human, and it's a miracle to just be able to see the way you live."

According to Solomon's evaluation, it seems that Falma was supposed to be a human being.

“Are you observing me?”

"All you have done and accomplished in this world is obliged to be recorded by the priest of that time. That's how the scriptures increase new pages"

Recording Falma's achievements. That seems to be one of Solomon's job as a priest.

“Besides, it's strange to say this to a G.o.d, but you have a surprisingly good personality.”

Solomon said that a G.o.d descending to the Earth was not necessarily a good G.o.d, and some of them turned one country into scorched land and even ma.s.sacred people. Considering that, the chief priest said that the advent of the G.o.d is welcome.

“If it was like that, what do you think is the work of the medicine G.o.d?”

“It is exactly what you are doing now, creating a number of medicines and healing people”

Solomon seemed to have misunderstood that Falma was doing “work as a medicine G.o.d”.

“I do not think that I am working.”

“In other words … if you see sick people, you cannot leave them alone. Hmmm."

The chief priest finally seemed to understand a little about Falma's conflict.

“In any case, I would like you to stay as long as possible in this world as long as you do not have a narrow mindset.”

“I do not want to die again, I want to live healthier in this world”

It was a cry from Falma's heart.

“If it is hard, I think that you do not have to be bothered by being told that you are a Medicine G.o.d. Even if called so, think of it as your nickname”

“Does that mean that I feel like I am?”

It seemed that the chief priest would say that hypocrites should think of two such names, as they used to call him a holy doctor on Earth.

"Nickname?"

It made Falma's whole heart at ease.

“I feel that the load of the shoulder has eased somehow.”

"The Imperial Church will follow your heart and whenever you have trouble, go to the church"

Solomon laughed because the church was originally a place to help those who were troubled.

Solomon promised that he would tell the priests not to make too much ruckus so that they would treat Falma normally. Of course, Solomon himself was included too.

“It's about time for the ma.s.s to begin. Then the replica of the great treasure will finally reach the church tomorrow"

“I'll go see the replica”

“No, no, I'll bring it to you”

Falma left the reception room,went through the chapel and then got out.

“What!?”

Falma saw the gathering of the believers in the church. 50% of the believers' eye were bloodshot. Some people were unconsciously eyeing. The fingers that touched the seats and the doors of the church were those with the congested eye. That was how the viral infection spread.

“Everyone's eyes are red."

It was clear even without using the diagnosis eye.

“Epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis”

Eager believers have a higher rate of partic.i.p.ation in rituals and worshipers, thus more likely to be infected.

“Please extend your sermon today, so that no one else goes out”

“Have you seen a sickness?”

The chief priest notices that his eyes are red.

“It's a sickness of the eyes, this is prevalent.”

"Do not return to your home alone"

The chief priest said “Do not let anyone get out until the ceremony ends”

During the ceremony, Falma returned to his pharmacy using the carriage and prepared the antimicrobial medicine drops for the number of people.

When the ceremony ended, Falma took a position at the entrance of the church; and the infected, who were found among the believers on their way home, were handed out the eye drops like pet.i.t gifts of the wedding party.

Instructions for use of eye drops.A print was included with instructions such as how to spend the day while your eye was red, to make as little contact with others as possible, to not touch anywhere with the hand that touched your eye.

Epidemic Conjunctivitis was caused by adenovirus infection and was very infective, so care must be taken not to spread the infection. Although there were no effective drugs for Adenovirus, It was possible to relieve symptoms by instilling antibiotics and steroids. After identifying the people with the terrible symptoms, Falma distributed the medicine.

“What is this?”

An old lady with a bright red eye ask.

“These are Eye drops. I'll give this to you because you are suffering from an epidemic eye disease. And this is also going to affect other people if you do not use it”

“That reminds me, my wife also has a red eye.”
