Sorry, My Interstellar Fleet Only Recruits Women

Upon hearing this, the queen nearly fainted.

The Third Prince is her own son.

The king immediately said, "What medicine do you need? I'll send someone to find it right away!"

The old doctor shook his head and said, "These medicines are very precious."

Currently, it is only found in the Eastern Continent, and the production is extremely low. It is also a medicinal herb that is restricted from export by the Eastern Continent.

In addition, the preservation requirements are extremely high.

We had only seen one copy before.

Furthermore, the shelf life is less than three months, and the time spent at sea alone will delay the product by two months.

So...we definitely don't have them in our kingdom.

The old doctor's words struck the king as if he had been struck by lightning.

This is a death sentence for the Third Prince.

"Teacher, actually I heard..."

Some new drugs have recently appeared in our kingdom.

Among them were several medicines, and the analysis results suggested that they might be able to meet the Third Prince's current needs. At this moment, a young physician stepped forward.

"What?

"There's a new medicine!" The king's sorrow turned to joy, and he saw hope once again.

The old doctor frowned: "I've also heard about the new drug."

It seems to have been brought back from overseas by a businessman.

However, none of these new drugs have clinical trial results here.

"Giving it to His Highness the Third Prince... that's far too risky."

The young doctor said earnestly, "I participated in the trials of these new drugs before, although the sample size was small and the research period was short."

However, I can roughly conclude that these new drugs at least have no side effects.

As for the Third Prince's current condition, frankly speaking, the probability of him recovering on his own is less than one in ten.

"Instead of waiting to die here, let's give it a try."

The young doctor's words were quite bold.

He even directly said that he was waiting to die.

No one else would dare to say that; if something went wrong, they could lose their life.

"good!

Let's take a gamble.

"Where is this new medicine now?" the king asked.

“It’s with a baron merchant named Dacroix,” the young doctor said.

Dacromet.

Upon hearing this name, the dukes who were quietly standing by were all taken aback.

His Majesty the King may not be familiar with this Dacro.

But how could they not know this recently prominent figure?

In particular, two of the dukes have intricate connections with this Baron Dacroix.

Duke Wenger frowned as he looked at the Duke beside him. All he knew before was that Baron Dacroix had acquired jewelry and diamonds from overseas.

I've never heard of him getting his hands on any medicinal herbs.

"Does any of you know this Baron Dacrois?" The king immediately looked at his subordinates.

"I have heard that Baron Dacroix and Duke Pedro have a close relationship."

There were even rumors that Duke Pedro was planning to marry his second daughter to Baron Dacroix. "At this moment, Duke Wenger stepped forward."

That bastard.

Duke Pedro glanced at Duke Wenger, who was standing beside him with a slight smile.

He knew that this guy was definitely up to no good by pushing him out at this time.

He also specifically mentioned that he had a very close relationship with Dacromet.

He just wanted to tie himself to Dacromet.

If the Third Prince recovers after using the medicines Dacromi brought back, that would be good.

But if it can't be cured, even if the problem didn't ultimately stem from Dacromet's medication...

But once it's been used, Dacromet cannot escape responsibility.

Duke Wenger will then step forward and say a few words.

Nadakro will not escape death, and I will also be implicated, although my crime does not warrant death.

But it will inevitably result in a significant financial loss.

That cunning old fox.

"Is that so, Pedro?" The king looked at Duke Pedro.

At this point, it was impossible to deny it, as to do so would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.

Moreover, this matter is known to the outside world, and it's impossible to keep it a secret.

"Yes.

However, I don't know much about these new drugs.

"If Your Majesty requires it, I will arrange for Dacro to bring these new medicines immediately." Duke Pedro's words acknowledged that he and Dacro did indeed know each other.

However, he also expressed that he was not very familiar with the efficacy of these new drugs.

If anything happens to this, it's not my problem.

His Majesty the King, of course, had no time to concern himself with the treachery in his subordinates' words.

"Make the arrangements immediately!" the king declared, descending from his seat.

Soon, Dacromet, who was dealing with his own affairs, arrived.

That's when they got alerted.

The kingdom directly dispatched an army to his location, 'inviting' him and his new medicine there.

Although Dacroix now holds a special position as a favorite of Duke Pedro.

But he had never been inside the royal palace before.

After all, among the kingdom's titles of nobility, his baronial rank was only the lowest.

They had no right to enter the kingdom at all.

He never expected that he would be suddenly summoned to the palace.

They even specifically asked him to carry all the new drugs.

New drug?

Is it because of the new drug research you've been secretly conducting recently?

Dacromet isn't stupid either.

He was also aware of the recent events that had occurred in the royal city.

I know the Third Prince is currently undergoing emergency treatment.

And now they've summoned me, and even asked me to bring the new medicine.

Considering the current situation of the Third Prince.

The answer is already obvious.

But this made Dacromet's heart pound.

What if something goes wrong?

Then all the businesses he has built up during this period will instantly be in vain.

But if... then he will have a new opportunity.

Fortunately, it's alright.

He had already arranged for his wife to leave before this.

Looking back now, perhaps this was a kind of luck.

Even if something happens to him now, at least his wife is safe.

I just hope that brat can truly repent and take good care of his sister.

Enter the kingdom.

Dacroix, accompanied by several of his attendants, carefully carried several medicine chests in his hands.

It contains all the new drugs we brought this time.

Some of these new drugs require simple storage conditions, while others need to be stored at low temperatures. His Majesty the Dragon King had made these instructions clear before the trip.

We entered a house.

It's very clean here.

Soon, several dukes came into view.

Dacroix glanced instinctively at Duke Pedro.

Outside, the Duke Pedro, who was like a giant, now stood there obediently like a soldier.

He didn't even make eye contact with Dacroix.

It was as if he and Dacromet weren't very familiar with each other at all.

After seeing Dacroix, he looked at the couple standing outside a gate ahead.

"Your Majesty, Dacromet has arrived."

I heard that Dacromet has arrived.

The king immediately looked over: "The new medicine has been brought!"

“Your Majesty, the new medicine has arrived,” Dacromet replied.

"Where did you get these new drugs?" His Majesty the King, though not completely losing control of his emotions, still asked.

"I have always had trade dealings with overseas countries, and my main business is overseas trade."

These new drugs were brought to our kingdom by one of my business partners for trial sales.

"Has a clinical trial been conducted?"

"How effective is the medicine?" the king pressed.

Dacromet swallowed hard: "We've done some, and so far, things are going fairly smoothly."

However, due to time constraints, the specific effects and potential side effects cannot be determined at this time.

Just then, the door was pushed open again.

"Something terrible has happened. His Highness the Third Prince's organs are failing."

"Has the new drug arrived?" The young doctor came out at this moment.

Upon hearing that the third prince was suffering from organ failure, the king disregarded whether there were any problems with the new drugs.

Just as the young doctor said before, there's no other way, so we might as well take a gamble now.

"The new medicines are all here," the king said, pointing to the medicine chests.

The young doctor looked at Dacromet.

Dacromet also recognized the young doctor; he was one of the doctors he had previously asked to find to be in charge of drug experiments.

It seems this guy is the one who betrayed me.

"I need those kinds of medicines..." The young doctor immediately read out the names of several new drugs.

Dacromet immediately selected it from the medicine box and handed it over.

Without saying a word, the young doctor took the new drugs back to the operating room.

Then came another long wait.

Dacromet stood there, feeling like an ant on a hot pan, tormented by the situation.

He knew very well that whether the Third Prince lived or died would directly affect his own life or death.

If the Third Prince dies, he will most likely die too.

If the Third Prince survives, then Dacro will have another opportunity!

wait.

Waiting is always a long time.

finally!

The operating room door opened again.

Both the older and younger doctors came out.

All eyes turned to them.

The old doctor took off his mask, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "The Third Prince's condition has stabilized."

The new drug is currently proving effective.

However, whether there will be any subsequent impact remains to be seen.

When I heard this news.

Dacromet felt his legs go weak, and his body instinctively prepared to fall over.

However, Duke Pedro, who was standing nearby, immediately helped him up.

"Dacro, thanks to the new drugs you brought."

They just saved the Third Prince!

"You've done a great service this time!" Duke Pedro warmly helped Dacroix up.

This demeanor was completely different from how he acted when he was not familiar with Dacroix before.

"right.

"You've done well." The king breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Dacrovi with an appreciative expression.

How much of these medicines do you have left?

There are still some.

"But there weren't many of those medicines available," Dacromet said cautiously.

At this moment, the old doctor added fuel to the fire, saying, "If the Third Prince's condition stabilizes later..."

Those new drugs need to be supplied long-term.

The current supply is only enough to last about a month.

Upon hearing this...

The king looked at Dacromet and asked, "Who gave you these new drugs?"

Can we maintain a long-term supply?

Yes, it's possible.

"No problem." Dacromet nodded repeatedly.

How could he possibly not seize such a great opportunity?

This is an opportunity His Majesty has given me.

At most, the Duke of Dacroix could elevate himself to the position of viscount in the future.

But the person standing before me is His Majesty the King of this kingdom.

His word was all it took to pave the way for my glorious future.

"Okay."

You will then be responsible for supplying these medicines to the royal family on a long-term basis.

If needed, all departments and processes are open to you.

Also... you're a baron now, right?

"Yes."

"You have made a contribution to the development of this new drug."

You are hereby granted the title of Viscount!

With just one sentence, Dacroix was promoted from Baron to Viscount just one year later.

It should be noted that when he sided with Duke Pedro, he promised that he would be promoted to viscount within ten years.

It will take at least seven or eight years.

But now, it's just a sentence.

He became a viscount.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will serve you with my life!" Baron Dacroix declared loudly.

In this way...

Baron Dacroix... no, that's not right.

Now it should be said that Viscount Dacroix has suddenly become a rising star in the kingdom.

Soon, news spread that the miraculous medicine he brought had cured the Third Prince.

This has led many to see a business opportunity and immediately begin purchasing the drugs from Dacromet at high prices.

In this day and age, medicine is a very precious thing.

Even if they don't need it now, those high-ranking officials and nobles are still willing to prepare a life-saving medicine for themselves.

Naturally, the prices of these drugs also began to rise.

Even some of the most common painkillers have been sold at exorbitant prices.

The main reason is that Dacromet brought too few of these this time.

After seeing those bulk orders.

Some partners even paid the full amount upfront, just to receive one dose of the medicine.

But Baron Dacroix now faces a problem.

That is, according to the previous agreement with His Majesty the Dragon King, the transaction is to be carried out every three months.

But only half a month has passed since the last transaction.

If I were to set off for that island now, it would only be a month later.

I don't know if my actions will anger that person.

Now, my life and fortune are all in that person's hands.

If that lord refuses to provide him with the medicine, His Majesty the King will surely execute him.

Unlike previous jewelry and diamonds.

Jewelry and diamonds can acquire these resources by directly seizing islands.

But medicines require formulations and technology.

Even if he leads his army to conquer that island, he will not be able to obtain these medicines unless His Majesty the Dragon King is willing.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to betray His Majesty the Dragon King now.

However, the possibility of a pre-arranged transaction is now unavoidable.

That's the only way to make amends.

It means fulfilling the requests previously made by His Majesty the Dragon.

An island that is relatively close to the mainland.

In this kingdom, you can purchase land and live as a farmer.

However, buying a large island is still very difficult.

Unless His Majesty bestows a direct reward.

However, within the kingdom, only those with a title of at least count or higher have a chance of receiving a fief.

Moreover, it must be an independent island, which would make its status even more extraordinary.

Dacromet knew he couldn't handle this situation well.

The only option is to seek help from his powerful backer, the Duke of Pedro!
