Let's Kidnap The Male Lead! (19 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 103

As the cause of the illness became clear, the investigation progressed quickly.

During this process, the suspicious insect was temporarily given the name “Redaniphus.”

The patients’ illness was likewise named “Redaniphus Disease” after it.

The imperial court launched a large-scale effort to capture Redaniphus and conducted numerous experiments.

I participated in this as well, and from it, we uncovered several facts.

The insect remained perfectly healthy in cold environments but died quickly in warm ones.

This explained why the southern region had remained unaffected, unlike other areas.

Additionally, Redaniphus exhibited a severe adverse reaction to artifacts.

As a test, I held a necklace near it; the insect, following its instinct, bit into the necklace and soon after began to languish and died.

My suspicion that Redaniphus carried magic had been correct.

Therefore, we also tested the effect of necklace-type artifacts on the disease, but unfortunately, giving artifacts to those already infected showed no significant improvement.

This meant artifacts could be useful for prevention but were ineffective as a treatment.

‘Still, it’s fortunate we’ve confirmed the clear connection between the insect and magic.’

I also tried giving the patients medicine made from elain grass—the leftover from treating the previously magic-corrupted Duke and Duchess Belvedus—and fortunately, they showed signs of improvement.

The treatment had been found more easily than expected.
