I Am No King's

Chapter 189 – Retirement?

~Inanna POV~

Yes, the only thing that came to my mind when I heard of the rapid growth of meat was cancer. Actually, right now, I really want to bite my nails. However, I held myself back and just put my hand on my chin.

"But dad, Brother Lugalgin doesn't have symptoms like people who get cancer, does he?"

"Dad said it was like cancer. But what Lugalgin's going through isn't cancer."

Yes, right, what happens in Lugalgin's body is not cancer, just like cancer.

"A-"

"Inanna, I told you to shut up" Om Barun interrupted. "Let me take care of the explanation to them."

Om Barun, aren't you overprotective? Me and the Emir were just exhausted from using the controls for too long. We don't need a complete break until we don't talk.

"So, Ninlil, strangely enough, your brother's abnormal flesh growth only happened when he was injured. Earlier while examining Lugalgin, I tried to slash his uninjured limbs. At that moment, the place I was slaying immediately experienced abnormal meat growth. If a normal wound takes 1 – 2 days to close, your brother just took a few hours."

Om Barun continued his explanation. On the one hand, this really helped Lugalgin. As Ninlil said, no matter how severe the wounds suffered by Lugalgin, he would heal quickly. But it also comes with negativity. One of them is the bone and meat Lugalgin that is too dense.

The denser the meat and bones, the heavier the body Lugalgin will be. The heavier the body, the higher the calorie intake. For people with a body such as Lugalgin, the normal weight will not reach 80 kg. People weighing 80 kg, in a week, only need 2500 calories.

However, since Lugalgin weighs almost 100 kg, he needs a much larger amount of calories. Normally, if this happens, the person's body weight will decrease. However, if this happens to Lugalgin, the effect is not a reduced body weight, but the health of Lugalgin is disturbed.

If Lugalgin is deficient in calorie intake, his body will begin to experience problems, whether it is difficult to breathe, blood flow is not smooth, the heart beats slower, or so on. This is because the minimum number of calories does not change. Like a fuel-strapped engine, Lugalgin's body would be damaged by the load it was carrying.

Simply put, heavier and denser muscles and bones will put an excess load on the Lugalgin body.

"So, as such, I advise you to persuade Lugalgin to retire from the black market front. It would be much better and safer for Lugalgin if he were just a strategist."

I fell silent and looked to the left, towards the Emir. The Emir looked at me. Without needing to say a word, we were already able to communicate simply.

What worries us is will Lugalgin listen? As Mulisu and Ukin talked about, supposedly, Lugalgin was not the type who liked frontal attacks or advanced to the front line. Supposedly, Lugalgin was the type of person who relied on strategy and traps.

Even though he did, I'm not sure he'll listen anymore. If Lugalgin is normal, he will listen. If you are in a state of fatigue or something else happened to him, I don't know. I'm worried, don't-don't, Lugalgin forward to the front line is a way of venting his stress.

If Mulisu and Ukin's words were true, long ago, finding information and killing the Cleinhad family might have been Lugalgin's way of venting stress. However, after the Cleinhad family was slaughtered, Lugalgin was like losing a medium of stress relief.

I'm not sure myself, but I think that guess is the most appropriate. So, now, we have to find a means of stress relief for Lugalgin.

"For the record" Om Barun added. "So, when I did a scan on Lugalgin's body, I found that his nerves were under excessive pressure from the growth of his bones and muscles. So, in addition to the pain from the wound, Lugalgin will also get pain from the healing process. In fact, I can say, the pain is much worse than that of a bone cancer patient."

Okay, that's disturbing. Very very disturbing. Rather than Lugalgin dying from the effects of meat and bone growth, to me, this is much more important. You must be kidding, right? Besides the pain from the wound, Lugalgin still gets pain from the healing process? It is the same as torture.

"While I say it all, I'm not sure what I'm saying, myself" Om Barun notes. "I mean, since the last few years, I just checked Lugalgin's body tonight. In fact, I just did a detailed examination earlier. So, I feel like I'm lacking data."

In other words, Om Barun humbled himself. Perhaps, he felt guilty for only being able to draw conclusions on everything that happened to Lugalgin's body now, after 19 years.

"Inanna, Emir, from now on I'll give you the dope stock. Like I said before, somehow Lugalgin can't pass out. Although he retired from the front line, there is a possibility he was attacked and injured. So, the only way to make Lugalgin regardless of the pain she's in is to put her to sleep with an anesthetic."

Me and the Emir nodded.

"However, of course, since Lugalgin's body has an abnormal recovery speed, the effects of this anesthetic will quickly run out. So, if you're out of town and there's no hospital under my management in that town, you're gonna have to inject this dope every 1 or 2 hours. And, in fact, now I have to anesthetize Lugalgin again before he's conscious."

Om Barun looked at the clock at the end of the room, on the blackboard in the messy part of the room. He walked past us and out of the room. Before leaving the room, Om Barun stopped and made an offer.

"If you want to be with Lugalgin, I will allow it, but on condition that you keep quiet. Really silent. If you are noisy, even though you have been drugged, there is a possibility that Lugalgin will rise. If he got up, he would feel all the pain. How's it?"

"Yes, we want to."

Without communicating it in advance, as if it had been agreed, I and the Emir gave the same answer.

Om Barun nodded. "Ninil?"

Ninlil. "No. I think I'll just go home. Poor mom alone takes care of Ninshubur."

"Then, can you please help them to Lugalgin's room? I'll have the clerk add a mattress in Lugalgin's room."

"Good,"
