Doctor Player Chapter 183

That’s right.

Since he failed to manage a magic crystal mine and caused this disaster to happen, and he couldn’t even deal with it properly, the entire Houston kingdom was infested and ruined the business, so he made a huge mistake.

You will be sacked unconditionally.

Shameron swallowed through the orb.

Only then did he realize Raymond’s true intentions.

‘You’re threatening me. If you don’t pay proper damages, you’ll be fired.’

But it was not an easy choice.

Paying large amounts of damages would leave a huge stain on his career.

Since he was an executive at the Magic Tower of the ‘Management Course’, not the ‘Skills Course’, such a stain was fatal.

But what if you get fired?

Let go of the stains and that’s it.

‘Ha, there’s no way.’

Shameron raised the white flag.

-All right. We accept responsibility and compensate for damages. How much would it be? One and a half million pennies according to Imperial law, right?

“no. Please pay me 3.27 million pesos.”

-… … yes?

Shameron’s eyes trembled.

– How much is it now?

“They said 3.27 million pence.”

– Nonsense! What an enormous sum!

1.5 million pesos admitted.

Because there was a rule about compensation for trade damages in the Imperial Law of the Crusaders.

1x in case of simple negligence 1.3x in case of additional damage 1.5x in case of great damage 2x in case of injury to human life.

And it tripled in the case of large-scale human casualties.

For reference, the total cost of setting up the magic stone mine was 500,000 pena. Among them, the Earl of Trenby paid 200,000 penas in advance, leaving a debt of 300,000 penas.

-But why 3.27 million penas?

It was overcharged by 1.77 million pence.

“It is compensation for the dead.”

Raymond said heavily.

“A total of 177 people died in this disaster.”

-… … .

“Ten thousand penas for each life.”

10,000 pennies for each dead life.

Shameron was silent.

-Ha But… … If you pay me like that, I’ll be fired.

Shameron wept.

3.27 million pesos was a condition he could never accept.

But Raymond said something unexpected.

‘Now it’s my turn to hand out the carrot instead of the whip.’

It wasn’t wise to just push hard all the time.

Now it was Shameron’s turn to offer the carrots to grapple with.

“I’m rather thinking of the branch manager and making this suggestion.”

-yes?

Raymond thought to himself.

‘I have to convince them well here.’

If you blindly ask for additional compensation, they won’t listen.

How to use proper carrots when picking Hogu.

Raymond held out the carrot.

“Because it would be much better for the branch manager to give a big reward.”

I explained to Shameron with a puzzled face.

“When I pay condolence money to the victims, I will do it through the names of the branch manager and the Mage Tower.”

-… … !

“We will also spread this ‘good deed’ of the Mage Tower throughout the Houston Kingdom. Like the branch manager’s name. The name of the branch manager will rise high in the Rafalde region and Houston kingdom, and the image of the Magic Tower will be greatly improved.”

Improved image of Mage Tower!

It was something that the high-ranking people of the Mage Tower always cared about.

It was because the mage tower had a strong image of a money bug.

“Many people in the Houston kingdom will praise the Mage Tower for this great good deed, and the branch manager will be the number one contributor to improving the Mage Tower’s image in the midst of a crisis.”

Beyond the crystal ball, Shameron gulped.

He understood Raymond’s words.

‘It’s an exquisite strategy. According to what he said, even if I made a mistake, it would be like making a big contribution!’

What if you only paid 1.5 million pence to finish it? There was nothing left to pay. It will only leave a stain on your career.

But what if you pay a big reward instead of paying for it? At that time, the name of the mage tower could be elevated.

Shameron, the branch manager, will be recognized for his ability to deal with crises.

‘It’s a win-win for everyone and a way for everyone to live! That’s great. Can you think of a way like this? Indeed, the greatest genius of the Houston kingdom.’

Shameron looked at Raymond with great admiration.

-All right. I will do my best to accept the Count’s offer.

At that, Raymond clenched his fists.

‘Good! Success!’

Success in extorting money from the magic tower!

You’ve accomplished a feat no one else has ever done!

‘Even if it wasn’t so, there were plenty of places where money could go, but I was able to take a breather.’

Then Shameron said something unexpected.

– But do you really have any intention of becoming a disciple of the Mage Tower?

“… … why?”

Raymond made a puzzled face.

Suddenly, why are you talking about a disciple?

-No, I have an idea after making a deal today.

Shameron said with a strange face.

-I have to use any means to bring the Count to the side of the Mage Tower.

At the unexpected words, Raymond tilted his head.

But Shameron was sincere.

Today, Shameron admired Raymond in two ways.

First is smart.

Raymond was not only gifted with magic, but also possessed terrifying wisdom.

What was more admirable was that his wisdom only came from a heart for others.

‘Threatening the Magic Tower for the victims of a mysterious disease? Frighteningly wise and wonderfully good.’

Shameron thought that Raymond’s request for reparation today was only for the sake of the people of the territory.

-Anyway, I’ll take good care of you in the future, Count… … no sir

A title for a feudal lord, Your Excellency.

The title of respect flowed from Shameron, the branch leader of the Mage Tower.

The Mage Tower meant that from now on Raymond would be regarded as the actual feudal lord of the Lafalde region.

‘No, it’s not just the jehu. I’ll have to keep an eye on what will happen to the political situation in the future.’

Shameron closed her eyes.

There was no doubt that Raymond would now become a prince.

But will the jehu be the end?

Absolutely not.

On the contrary, by becoming a prince, Raymond could now be said to have entered the perfect storm.

Right in the storm surrounding the throne.

‘I wonder what will happen in that storm. There’s no way the two princes can stay still.’

Of course, Raymond’s ability was unquestioned.

However, the forces following the orthodox princes were no match for Raymond, a newly rising star.

‘That said, I don’t think that illegitimate prince will collapse easily.’

Shameron covered her mouth with a fan.

Originally, the Mage Tower temporarily supported the second prince, Cairn.

This is because he was most likely to become the next heir to the throne.

But after today’s deal, Shameron has another candidate in mind.

It was Raymond.

Shameron thought that Raymond could be the changer that would shake the storm surrounding the throne.

* * *

Raymond additionally said that there is someone behind this incident.

‘It would be better to get help from the Mage Tower.’

Realistically, it was difficult to find the man behind him with his power.

The Magic Tower, an organization across the continent, would be the most suitable for finding them.

I was also a party involved in this incident.

-Is that so? You can never leave me alone. Could you leave this job to us?

Shameron covered her mouth with a fan.

It was an eye full of life.

-I don’t know who they are, but they will pay the price for causing damage to the Mage Tower.

A few more conversations followed.

Shameron said that he would receive final approval from the upper management, saying that the amount of compensation was so large that he could not completely decide on his own.

After the communication ended, Raymond let out a long sigh.

‘Ahhh. The tension is relieved after the story is over.’

Although he sat in a high position, his nature was still timid.

After a breathtaking discussion with the notorious Shameron of the Mage Tower, the tension was relieved.

‘I sighed. I was wondering how to recover from the plague damage.’

As the water for playing grew, so did the amount of money that went into it.

The debt he owed also grew astronomically.

‘… … Come to think of it, when the hell am I going to pay my debt?’

Rather than stem, it continued to grow.

‘… … Was it 890,000 pence or 900,000 pence in debt to the Devil Loan? … .’

Raymond let out a sigh.

Debt was growing endlessly.

When I tried to become a feudal lord, there were a lot of things to do with money.

War damage recovery was not completely completed, but the outbreak of the mysterious disease was fatal.

[Additional loan completed. Dear VVIP customer~???!]

Every time he received a letter from Lady Rose, Raymond’s heart sank.

‘Dear customer. ugh I really hate it.’

It’s like looking at a slave whom the devil sold his soul to, ‘Our lovely customer like beef. When are we going to catch and eat him?’ It felt like this.

‘Anyway, thanks to the magic tower, I was relieved. If it wasn’t for the Magic Tower, I would have had to raise additional loans.’

Raymond sighed again.

‘Can’t I recycle the magic crystal mine obtained this time?’

Raymond had a sneaky thought.

But it was a bunch.

It contains such impure mana, so how can I use it?

‘I wonder if I get rid of all the impure mana.’

For a moment, Raymond was taken aback.

He came up with a way to recycle the magic crystal mine.

‘for a moment. If I get rid of all the impure mana, wouldn’t it be possible to use the white crystal as a tool for the medical industry?’

He was planning to build a medical industry in the Lapalde region when he became a feudal lord in the future.

The white crystal was not irritating, so it was perfect for use as a tool in the medical industry.

‘Lord Mevinson’s artificial lens was also made of white crystal.’

But Raymond shook his head again.

It was impossible.

‘How can I get rid of that impure mana? It’s a pity, but the only answer is to permanently close the magic stone mine.’

Raymond thought with regret.

But then, suddenly, the door opened urgently.

“Lord lord! It’s a big deal!”

It was Mevinson!

“Sage?”

Raymond made a puzzled face.

The old man’s face was white.

“The magic stone mine in Borison Manor is running out of control!”

“yes?”

“They say the mana inside the white crystal is out of control! According to the hastily reported by the mining engineer.”

Mevinson exclaimed with a pale face.

“They say that if we don’t find a way to remove the mana from the magic stones in the mine right away, a catastrophe will happen!”

On the other hand, far east in the province of Lapalde.

Beyond the kingdom of Houston, beyond the other 4 weak countries, somewhere close to the Free Cities Federation.

There was a country situated on a long peninsula.

Ristein Kingdom.

It was a place called the Peninsula Kingdom by some.

The richest country in the Crusader Empire.

Where the richest people in the world live.

It was also a ‘cruel paradise’ on earth that had aspects of both heaven and hell, where the poorest people lived.

Among them, a splendid port city nestled in the sea.

There was a palace as splendid as the ‘Imperial Palace’ in the ‘Water City, Rapentel’.

Emerald Palace.

As the name suggests, it was the home of Peninsula royalty with Holy Eyes.

It is a palace as beautiful as the Jinrok River that passes by the palace, but the contents inside were not at all like that.

Manmajeon Pandaemonium.

That was the nickname of the Emerald Palace.

Because it is a place where terrible desires collide.

During that ten thousand battles, there was someone who unexpectedly chanted the name of Raymond.

“What on earth was the feeling that Count Penin felt at that time?”

It was Rashid, the royal family of Ristein, whom Raymond met during the war!
