Doctor Player - Chapter 79

“Is there anything you want to say?”

Just before presenting the prize, Raymond felt a great conflict when asked about the ceremony.

“Do…… E…… Oh, no, no, no…….”

“……?”

Raymond sighed inwardly.

‘If I ask for it, the reward will be short.’

Even if he don’t ask for it directlu, there will be a reward anyway.

So it was better to ask for something else.

“It is presumed that there was a man who conspired violence in the ruins. Please find the criminal and punish him. That’s what I want.”

‘Be sure to catch and punish the one who stole my treasure!’ Raymond gritted his teeth.

A bloody revenge!

It was what he wanted.

‘And if we find the criminal, we can get the treasure back. Maybe there’s something else left for me.’ This was his real plot.

Of course, people admired him once again without knowing his inner thoughts.

‘Not only his cause for his patient but also full of justice. No, he is also concerned about the future of the country.’

‘He is a great figure that sets an example for others.’

Raymond bowed his head and stepped back as King Oden spoke with such a low voice.

“Good work.”

“….!”

Raymond stopped abruptly.

It was the second time.

Oden expressed his personal feelings in this way.

No, is his mind simply just playing games?

Raymond stared at Oden’s eyes for a moment.

It may be a sign of disrespect, but Raymond could not resist the urge for a moment.

And.

‘….. It is just my mind, playing games.’

Raymond laughed despondently.

Oden’s eyes were cold.

He couldn’t find any feelings.

At best, it was just a look for a competent servant who made a contribution.

No other meaning could be found.

“……Thank you, Your Highness.”

“Let us continue to strive for the kingdom of Houston.”

“……I’ll keep that in mind.”

Raymond, who came out, sighed deeply.

“……I feel so bad.”

He could not help but feel groggy.

The expected exploration of the ruins was empty, and he was disturbed by unnecessary words from King Oden.

In particular, Raymond felt bad that his heart was being cared for by a human who was not even like a father to him growing up. He’s just here, his blood a part of his blood.

‘What the hell do you want?! He and I have no relationship. Why do you keep doing this even though you know?!’

‘Let’s not worry about it. I’ll just eat beef for a change today. To the finest part.’

It was at that moment when he decided to call Lao and Christine together and have a beef party, a message came to his mind.

“This…”

It was a very useful item.

If he uses it well, it will have a great effect.

‘Anyway, the system rewards are good. I level up five times and received 80 additional skill points. Then there’s a bonus item.’

Thinking about it that far, Raymond was taken aback.

‘What is my level now then?’

Originally, his level was 68, so he became level 73.

‘If I am now level 73…’

As he thought of it for a moment, the same message came to his mind.

[You’ve reached level 70!]

Level 70 was different from other levels.

It’s a level where you can do “promotion!

[You’ve met the standard for promotion!]

Raymond’s eyes widened as he saw the message that followed.

[Occupational grade has changed from ‘Senior Resident’ to Chief’]

The chief.

Last stage of residency training.

Representatives of residents.

A stage in which you have skills comparable to those of a first-time specialist by honing and polishing medicine through numerous practical trials and studies.

We have finally reached that stage.

***

Meanwhile, Chancellor Galman and King Oden were talkng.

“Why did you say that?”

“What do you mean?”

“……No, it’s not.”

Chancellor Galman shut up.

He remembered what King Oden had just said.

‘Good job.’

It was nothing special.

But Galman, who has been by Oden’s side for decades, knew.

Oden was never to take such a story lightly.

‘What does Your Highness think of Raymond? A sore finger that hurts secretly? Or the one who he has really abandoned? Or a complete stranger?’

He can’t know.

If nothing else, it was Oden who would never reveal his feelings about Raymond.

Galman popped up the subject on impulse.

“Isn’t it wonderful?”

“……What do you mean?”

“I mean Raymond. When I heard Lord Walton’s story, I was amazed. As I have thought before, Raymond doesn’t seem to excel only as a healer.”

It was not an empty talk.

Raymond was really outstanding.

The work done during this expedition shows that he has great eyesight, judgment, and a steel heart.

And a patient-conscious mind.

‘No, it’s not just his patient on his mind. Basically, he has a heart for others. Even if you look at Soln’s casino case.’

And even when he sees him asking asking the king to catch the one who plotted all of this,

he can guess Raymond’s heart.

He was a man who cared more about others than himself.

The utmost selflessness without any selfishness.

It was clear that the admirable personality was deeply rooted in his heart.

The more he thought about it, the more he was amazed.

‘How can he have such a good heart when he was not even treated right growing up?’

However, King Oden brought up another subject without answering his questions.”We need to investigate the clues we got from this expedition and confirm the evidence that the Droughton guys were responsible.”

“Yes, we have already begun our investigation.”

Every magic pearl leaves a mark.

Tracing it in reverse, we’ll get the strings of the Droughton guys.

Thanks to Raymond, they have secured deadly evidence.

“Yes, I got a call from Sujeong-gu. It’s such an important issue that you seem to be fully prepared.”

“Yes, I’ll bear it in mind.”

Oden said in a heavy voice.

“This national foundation festival is not just a banquet. We must draw the cooperation of the Kingdom of Peninsula through the delegation to attend this banquet.” As Oden said, the delegation from the Kingdom of Peninsula was not just a congratulatory delegation.

‘They are allies in the same cross-border empire, but it is rare to help each other unconditionally in their own wars.”Especially in the case of this war with the Kingdom of Droughton.’

The kingdom of Houston and the kingdom of Droughton have been fighting endlessly.

This is because the two kingdoms were divided from one root in the first place.

The two kingdoms were originally one country. Then 150 years ago, for some reason, the kingdom of Droughton in the south gained independence from the kingdom of Houston.

Since then, the two kingdoms have been in constant conflict.

Therefore, even if the two kingdoms fought a war, there was a strong perception that it was only a problem between the two countries.

‘I hate to admit it, but strictly comparing the national powers of the Kingdom of Houston and the Kingdom of Droughton, the Kingdom of Droughton is a little ahead. So we must get financial aid to the Kingdom of Peninsula.’

King Oden thought to himself.

After Oden was king, there was a leap of national power, but the kingdom of Houston was not basically a powerhouse.

A small country rather belonging to the four weak countries.

In particular, financial vulnerability has been a chronic problem.

There was not enough money to wage a major war.

Therefore, this banquet must receive financial support from the Kingdom of Peninsula.

“Yes, I’ll keep that in mind. However, I am worried that Marquis Langham, the representative of the delegation, is already at the old age.”

Chancellor Galman said as if he was worried.

“I heard that he is also suffering from a major chronic disease.”

“Well.”

Oden was also worried about that.

If it was Marquis Langham, there was no shortage of opponents to make an arrangement with, but he was concerned about his health.

“While staying in the castle, have Count Helien accompany Marquis Langham. Unless there is something urgent, he shall not leave Marquis Langham’s side.”

“….…!”Galman looked surprised.

Count Helien.

Triple-A-rated healer who was the best healer in the kingdom of Houston in name and reality!

Asking him to accompany the envoy, who is also a dedicated healer for the royal family.

It was an order that showed how important Oden was to the agreement.

“Yes, I will make sure that there is no problem with Marquis Langham’s personal affairs.”

Oden, nodding, rose from his seat and looked out of the window.

The peaceful appearance of the capital caught his eyes.

However, in Oden’s eyes, there was a cloud of war covering the capital from time to time.

‘This peace will not last long.’

In terms of atmosphere, war seemed inevitable.

If it was an inevitable war, there was only one way left as a monarch.

Bringing victory to the kingdom.

‘There must be a lot to prepare for that.’

Depending on how you prepare, the aspect of war is clearly different.

It was for that reason that Archduke Berard of the enemy country tried to do one thing or another in the kingdom of Houston.

To cause great confusion in the kingdom of Houston to wage war in the best possible advantage.

‘If it wasn’t for Raymond, he’d be in big trouble by now, getting caught up in his schemes.’ At that moment, such an idea popped into Oden’s head.

He stopped the plot of the Droughton guys to prevent the chaos of the kingdom.

The fact that he was able to notice that they were doing it…

It was all Raymond’s work.

Even Raymond stabilized the public sentiment.

As he gained overwhelming support among the poor and common people, the loyalty of the people to the royal family also increased.

Although illegitimate, the people regarded Raymond as the king’s son.

In terms of war, strong public sentiment will serve as a solid background.
