Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 164 – KUJUNGAN GURU ZIZI
“Master!”
Yasmin immediately ran to pick Helios up when she saw him about to fall.
“Ah, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired.”
“It is precisely because of that, Master, shouldn't you take a little break? No matter how big your pool, controlling alone more than a hundred human-sized tangible familiar it will definitely still burden your body.”
“I'm really fine, Yasmin. More than that, how was the conversation with Doctor Minerva?”
“Sweetest. He also had no knowledge of the antibiotics that Master was talking about.”
“Researchers from the former Kingdom of Rimuru are too. Even the capable Anna and Erick had no ideas. Our only hope now is the rest of Master.”
“When will your teacher arrive, Master?”
“She's just around the corner after preparing what she needs to bring from Ignitia.”
“Then, what if you take advantage of a short time to rest, Master? I'll recover a little bit which circuit you strained.”
“I'll do. Please help, Yasmin.”
“Master needn't hesitate against me.”
Yasmin immediately sent Helios, who lost a little energy to her resting room. It looked faint due to his expressionless face, yet Yasmin slightly smiled. He immediately felt happiness once Helios depended on him.

About four to five hours later, the long-awaited teacher arrived. Teacher Zizi came with Rowen.
“Ck. What the fuck is that tangled face of yours, Helios? How will you cure a patient's illness if you just can't take care of your health?! Do you not remember that the principle of a herbalist is to prioritize his own health in order to cure more patients?!”
“Ah, Teacher. Long time no see.”
The nostalgic face on Helios' expression looked back at his teacher after a long time.
“Ck. You only contact me when you need.”
“It is not so, Master. Anu, i..”.
However, the teacher who had bleached her hair and was very wrinkled in skin was smiling and stroking Helios' black hair gently.
“It was a lie, really. I will never be angry because of such problems, it is my pleasure to see you slightly rely on your teacher who already smells this land.”
“Teacher...”
(Smoke, wipe).
“It is only natural that a student asks his teacher for help in times of difficulty.”
“Teacher.”
“Give this to your teacher against a problem you can't solve that.”
“Yo, your greatest cousin is also here to help, Your Highness.”
“Kak Rowen's.”
Thus only with the arrival of the two people, the work of the discovery of antibiotics went more smoothly.

In the midst of it, Sara and several other members of the sacred temple conducted an audience with Helios.
They requested that Helios agree to their intention to volunteer in the black death disaster as a medic.
“It is our duty as sacred servants to help humanity in need, Your Grace.”
Helios's face was wrinkled. It was not that he did not understand the feelings of the members of the sacred temple, it was just that black death was too dangerous for ordinary people to deal with.
“How about receiving their help only, Master? At least it will reduce your burden in mensummon too many golems so you can also focus on antibiotic research.”
Helios slightly considered the suggestion put forward by Yasmin. However it was true that he was exhausted from controlling over a hundred golems within the village of the Lugwein region.
This was different when Helios controlled his familiars or combat golems during a war that could be given automatic orders. To care for villagers, specific movements are needed that are not possible automatically. That is why, Helios must channel mana with greater intensity and with a more complex type of flow.
If so, Helios would not have the energy to take care of the more important thing, namely the discovery of antibiotics. Helios could not leave it to other researchers, it's just that he is sure that his intelligence in the field of prominent medicines among others so that his existence will definitely be indispensable in that place.
Based on these considerations, Helios agreed to the proposal of Sara and friends. Helios immediately took them through the gate directly to the city of Tarz and then moved to the village that was infected with the plague.
Helios then gave each of them a strange mask that had a shape in the muzzle so long as a crow. Not only the medical aid, Helios also assigned some soldiers who stood guard there to accompany Sara and friends headed inside after wearing a mask with the strange shape.
“Listen to everything. Black death is caused by bacteria that can be exposed in the air. Therefore, you need to protect yourself with a mask reinforced by the pungent smell of garlic and various other pungent-smelling herbs. You can't take off the mask no matter what. It will also certainly not protect you one hundred percent, but it will increase your chances of survival inside.”
“You need to divide yourself into two groups. One group will be assigned to the first quarantine room, while the other group will be assigned to the second quarantine room. None of you should ever enter the third quarantine room, let alone the fourth. There's a golem I put there to guard the place. They could have hurt you indiscriminately if you broke this taboo.”
“For the medical personnel in the second quarantine room, all you need to do there is replace the IV solution in patients who have run out of the infusion fluid. Besides because you are a sacred servant who has holy magic, you can use your holy magic to increase the vitality of patients at regular intervals. Remember that your vitality is the main thing. Do not let you allow yourself to contract the disease.”
“For the medical personnel in the first quarantine room, all you need to do is relax. You only need to treat patients as usual, but do not let their isolation room open. But you must remember that if there is one patient who shows symptoms of black death, you must immediately report it to the nearest medical golem.”
“This is for sure you already know, but I just remind you once again, the medical personnel who have already set foot into the second quarantine room, can no longer go to the first quarantine room. Similarly, since you entered the quarantine room, you can no longer exit before there is further notice after passing the special quarantine process.”
“As for the soldiers, your duty is only one, protect the medics from dangerous patients. There will be nothing more terrifying when man shows his fear towards his death. And also, if you happen to see a rat or other rodent, you should kill immediately and not at all let it escape, understand?!”
“As per his majesty command!”
The medics and soldiers who escorted them wore strange masks, then moved into the village covered by a giant ice dome.
“Master, will everything be okay?”
“Sentence, Albert. All we can do as human beings is try. I'll be back in the capital soon to research the antibiotics. You keep this place under control.”
“According to your command, Master.”
After directing the volunteers, Helios returned to the capital.
Helios noticed the grudging eyes of the citizens who were forbidden to meet their family members in the quarantine area. But Helios chose to ignore it at the moment it was the best he could do.
According to Helios, it is better for citizens to fear their rightness than for more lives to be sacrificed about black death. It was based on mature profit-and-loss considerations, yet somehow the evil gazes of the citizens who were looking at him left his heart hurting.

Arriving back to the laboratory, Doctor Minerva had been there with Teacher Zizi. Rowen has done her job well. Thanks to him, the coordination path of the distribution of research materials became easier and flexible.
“Your Majesty, you have finally arrived.”
“Ah, Doctor Minerva. Thanks for the hard work. By the way how did it go, Guru?”
“Based on the description of the penicillin compound that you mean, I looked for it on various specimens of alopondria fungi that I bred and there are already five specimens of fungi that allegedly contain the compound.”
Hearing Master Zizi's words, at once Helios felt a little relieved. Finally open the way to produce the perfect medicine. But when Helios thought about the victims who would continue to fall in the logarithmic series as soon as the first day of tomorrow plus the time needed for clinical trials of drugs that could have taken longer, he said, Helios again felt his entire body would melt.
But it was Doctor Minerva who this time removed the fatigue from Helios' mind.
“However we utilize all the medical personnel in the laboratory, we will not have time to mass produce the drug, not to mention determine the appropriate mixture between penicillin and sulfonamides, not to mention the problem of side effects. Therefore, we will use time acceleration magic to synthesize penicillin from the alopondria fungus.”
“Magic acceleration time? Is that possible?” Helios, who had never heard the concept that time could be sped up, wondered.
