Doctor Player - Chapter 95:

“How big is the reinforcement force?”

“I think it will be around 25,000.”

“It looks like the three northern powers are all missing.”

“Yes, because they have to keep the Iron Empire in check. Reinforcements were sent mainly from the neighboring countries like Peninsula Kingdom.”

“It’s only 25,000. It is just condescending.”

“But it will be of great help still.”

Although they are bound by the fence of the same empire, it is basically a different country. Unless there was a crisi that would shake the entire empire, it was rare for them to join forces.

This level of support alone was a great help.

‘If it weren’t for the evidence Raymond uncovered, it would be hard to expect even such reinforcements.’ Chancellor Galman suddenly thought this.

Raymond is the blessing to the Kingdom of Houston.

***

It wasn’t just Chancellor Galman’s thoughts alone.

So many people thought so as well.

“We don’t have to worry if we go to war!”

“Yes, the prince will cure us all!”

“Right! Don’t worry and let’s fight!”

They all shouted courageously. On the other hand Raymond, who heard the story.

‘……I’m not participating in the war. Why are you looking for me?’

He had a grim look on his face.

‘Ugh. How scary is war. Why would I go somewhere like that? Never. Definitely not!’

‘I had no intention of joining the war.’

‘Because it’s an advantageous war. The knights will win on their own while I’ll make money in the capital.’

Recently, he was fattened.

As his reputation built up, patients were flocking endlessly.

There were so many patients that two new students were added.

[Experience points accumulated!]

[Experience points accumulated!]

[Let’s level up!]

[Let’s level up!]

Before he knew it, he had accumulated a lot of experience, making him reach level 86.

Now, only 14 levels left until he rise up to the expert level.

Also, there was a better fact than levelling up which made Raymond happy.

There’s an aristocratic patient coming!

There was a stampede!

A lot of that too!

Thanks to this, the Penin Treatment Center was cruising in profit.

At this rate, repaying debts will not be a dream anytime soon!

‘I don’t want to be in a scary battlefield! I’ll make money here safely!’

With that in mind, Raymond concetrated on treating his patients.

“Welcome!”

“What is it that makes you uncomfortable?”

While looking at the patient with so much energy, Hanson said as if he was respectful.

“As expected, Master, you’re making a bloody effort to treat as many patients as possible before going to the battlefield.”

“What?”

‘I have no intention of going to war.’

What kind of scary story is that?

Looking at it with his eyes, Hanson offered a document with an expression of “I know all the feelings of the master.”

“This is the summons leader.”

“……What?”

What Hanson put forward was a “warrant” that was more frightening than a debt call!

‘Why me?!’

Lao, who happened to be there for a visit, explained to him.

“One to two people are obligated to participate in each noble family. It’s a proud duty of the aristocracy. It’s a tradition with the history of the Crusades.”

Lao raised his one-eyed glasses.

“For your information, I am also participating in the war as an administrator. Patriotic loyalty! In the spirit of noblesse oblige, I will do my best to serve my brother without shame.”

But Raymond couldn’t hear Lao’s words.

‘I have to go to war because I am a noble? How could that be?’

With his mouth open in a daze, Raymond could only think of one thing.

‘Then I don’t want to be an aristocrat. I’ll knock an aristocrat out. I’ll get rid of them here!’

In this way, Raymond was faced with the brink of war.

***

‘Huh’

‘We were barely making ends meet, and now there was a war!

What kind of lightning is this?!

Raymond blankly turned away from reality.

“Senior Hanson, the Master is being a little strange.”

“He must be worried about the war that is yet to come in the future.”

“I heard it’s an advantageous war? I heard we’re going to win easily.”

“Lindon.”

“Yes?!”

Lindon was on high alert at Hanson’s soft voice.

Lindon was afraid of Hanson the most in the world.

“Master is not worried about such worldly affairs. Only the patient is his concern. Because he is someone who will even spare the lives of his enemies. Freshmen, do you understand?”

Freshmen.

It refers to two new healers.

Hanson was working on their training to ease Raymond’s hand.

“Yes, sir!”

“And?”

“What?”

“Don’t you feel anything when you see a Master like that?”

The freshman healers looked at each other and answered in loud voices.

“We’ll try to emulate the master, too!”

“We will also try to follow the master’s example!”

Hanson said with a satisfied face. “Then let’s have the best premium beef for tonight. Beef has the effect of finding peace in your mind. It will ease the Master’s worries.”

Raymond munched on Hanson’s grilled beef.

‘……It’s not fun to eat beef because I have to go to the army. I finally managed to escape the vegetable soup. When I join the army, you I will have to eat vegetable soup again.’

Just thinking about it brought tears into Raymond’s eyes.

‘What kind of life will I lead there?’

Then, this message came to his mind as if it was teasing him.

[A quest has occurred in the dark clouds of war!]

[Teach Emergency Rescue Skills!]

(Medicine Quest)

Degree of proficiency: Major medical doctor level

Difficulty level: low

Quest Description: War takes many casualties! Reduce the number of casualties by teaching the soldiers simple first aid techniques!

Clearing conditions: Propagation of first aid techniques

Rewards: Bonus level up x3, additional 40 skill points

Bonus level up of times 3?!

It was a great reward compared to the level of difficulty, but it didn’t catch Raymond’s attention.

‘Do I seem to care about leveling up now? I’m about to join the army, man,’ sighed Raymond.

‘What if I could go and make some money?’

Raymond, thinking that far, paused for a moment.

‘Wait, can I make money? In the military?’

But he soon shook his head like a deflated balloon.

It’s impossible.

But.

‘Is it really not possible?’

‘Is it because of regret? I kept feeling regretful.’

‘It would be a little comforting if I’ll be able to make money!’

Raymond’s head spun.

In principle. It shouldn’t be done.

But. But.

“I think it’ll be possible with some shortcuts, right?”

Raymond swallowed his saliva.

An incredible thought came into his head.

An expedient way to make money legally in the military!

It was a genius way!

‘Let’s get ready right away!’

Raymond jumped out of his seat and got up.

‘I’ll at least make money by being dragged away!’

Raymond took his step straight away.

Towards the Chancellor Galman, his generous angel.

***

Chancellor Galman was with King Oden.

“I come to see His Majesty the King and His Excellency the Prime Minister.”

“So, what brings you here, Baron Penin?”

Chancellor Galman greeted him with a bright smile.

On the other hand, Oden only looked at him indifferently and said nothing.

Seeing Oden like that, Raymond’s heart sank.

As he feels everytime, King Oden doesn’t seem to like him- heck, it seems like he hates him even.

‘That’s not what’s important now. I have to talk well.’

He took a breath and brought it up.

‘It’s a servant who takes out his business right away. Let’s lay the groundwork first.’

An understatement.

The narrative about the rescue technique was brought up first.

“I came because I have something to ask you. Please allow me to teach simple first-aid techniques to the soldiers during the departure ceremony.”

“……!”

Both Oden and Galman looked surprised. Because it was an unexpected story.

“What is a first- aid technique?”

“It is a relief technique wherein soldiers can treat themselves when they are injured. It’s a secret skill for the general public, so everyone can learn it easily.”

Raymond doesn’t mean to teach something difficult.

Simple treatments such as more effective bandages, hemostasis, and disinfection.

These are things that anyone can do if they just learn them.

‘Just by tearing off the clothes you are wearing and tying the part closest to the heart can be very effective in stopping the bleeding. We can’t provide medicinal herbs to everyone for disinfection, so they can use alcohol instead. If it doesn’t work, they should at least wash it with clean water.’

Just this amount will be tremendous help in increasing the soldier’s survival rate.

“…”

There was a moment of silence.

It was a silence of admiration.

Chancellor Galman thought in surprise.

‘That’s great, that’s great, Raymond, you mean this kid has nothing but the thought of being a help for others?’

“How is it, Your Highness?”

Chancellor Galman asked King Oden’s opinion.

“That’s not bad. Do so.”

It’s not that bad.

In interpretation, it meant ‘great’.

Chancellor Galman looked at Raymond with contented eyes.

Maybe it was because Raymond only chose to do proper things, but his eyes looked like he was looking at his own child.

Raymond clenched his fists at the atmosphere between the two.

‘All right. First of all, it set the tone in a favorable manner.’

The fact that he brought up the idea of the first-aid training technique was groundbreaking.

Before getting to the point, this is a groundwork to make the reaction of the two more favorable.

Now that we’ve set the tone, it’s time to get to the point.

“There’s another one.”

Raymond looked straight at King Oden.

“What is it?”

“With all due respect, but do you remember when I treated you from a poison before?”

In the past, King Oden had been treated by Raymond after being poisoned by the Kingdom of Droughton while wandering through the Bay Area.

At that time, Raymond did not know that he was King Oden, but he heard about it recently when the events of the Kingdom of Droughton surfaced.

“Yes, I remember.”

“Can I get additional compensation for what happened then?” Raymond said.

“Please allow me to establish a Penin treatment Center on the battlefield.”

“……!”

“That’s my request.”

Penin Treatment Center on the Battlefield!

That was Raymond’s idea of a lethal move.

***

There was silence again.

Because it was a request that they never thought of.

“That’s…… What do you mean? Aren’t you going to participate as a war healer anyway?” Galman asked.

Raymond shook his head.

‘You have to do well here.’

I had to pretend to care for the patient as much as possible.

Fortunately, his skill was activated.

[Speaking for the patient!]

[“Speech” skill is manifested!]

“For the soldiers.”

“Hmm?”

“To be honest, a war healer only works for the nobility and knights. Isn’t that right?”

Galman nodded bitterly.

Healers are rare and patients are overflowing.

In such a situation, there was no healer to treat ordinary soldiers.

The reality is that wounded soldiers are abandoned to die without any treatment.

“Also, I often waste time on many unnecessary tasks.”

A healer is a highly educated workforce.

Along with wizards, they were often involved in paperwork.

“I want to establish a treatment center on the battlefield and work solely for patients. I want to offer a healing touch not only to the nobles and knights, but also to the soldiers.”

Raymond said, looking as patiently as he could.

No wonder Chancellor Galman was so impressed!

King Oden also saw a subtle shaking in his expressionless face.

“First of all, create an atmosphere like this.”

Of course, this wasn’t all. Raymond had a plan.
