“… … .”

Raymond cleared his throat.

But a faint voice came.

thumb nail.

It was a voice that would not have been heard if Raymond’s stats hadn’t reached transcendence.

“… … fool.”

It was Christine.

Raymond tilted his head.

“Disciple? what did you say? fool… … ?”

“… … !”

Christine’s face turned red.

“… … Lord Linden is an idiot!”

“yes?”

Linden, who had been swearing for a while, made a puzzled face.

“Go Gongnyeo? Why me all of a sudden?”

“You are stupid! no?”

Linden was frightened by Christine’s force and nodded.

“I am a fool. is it?”

Christine turned her head away and Linden’s heart skipped a beat.

‘Why did Sir Christine call me an idiot? Even secretly.’

Linden, the mother’s solo, recalled what she had read in a dating guide book.

‘… … Is Princess Christine interested in me?’

Linden’s face turned red.

Amid such naive Linden’s delusion(?), the phone flapped its wings.

The ecliptic was visible in the distance.

‘That’s the best city on the continent.’

It was on an infinite scale.

I’ve been to many cities so far, but this is the first time I’ve been to a city of this scale.

It seemed to be 1.5 times the ecliptic of the Crusader Federation Empire.

It was a glimpse of why the Iron Empire was the strongest power on the continent, but Raymond could not enjoy the panoramic view of the ecliptic leisurely.

“performance?”

Dark clouds were rising here and there in the ecliptic.

It was a fire.

“Looks like there’s a fight going on.”

The swordsman, who possesses physical abilities beyond the human realm, observed the situation in the ecliptic through his far-sighted eyesight.

“The number of mobs is high. Conflicts are happening here and there.”

As the distance got closer, the situation became even more stark.

It wasn’t just an emergency.

The city was a mess as if a war had broken out.

[Good human?! Can we go to the big imperial palace over there? I think it would be dangerous to go over there?]

There was a large imperial palace in the middle of the city.

However, a large crowd had gathered in the plaza in front of the imperial palace.

At first glance, it was a number that seemed to exceed 100,000.

“It is a divine punishment from heaven!”

“Emperor Rosetail, step down!”

“Heaven was angry!”

This cry was spreading far and wide.

In front of the crowd, heavily armed knights and soldiers lined the walls.

It looked precarious as if a collision would happen at any moment.

‘If that many people run into each other, a lot of blood will be shed.’

Raymond swallowed.

The soldiers seemed to be restraining their reaction as much as possible, probably because Rose had given an order.

“For now, let’s fly as high in the sky as possible and enter the palace.”

Upon entering the palace, Rose, who had been notified in advance, was waiting.

Because of the situation, Rose’s complexion was not good.

Still, seeing Raymond, he made a slightly happy face and lowered his head.

“Meet Emperor Raymond of the Crusader Empire. Thank you for taking the step to help my country like this.”

It was Rose who used an honorific title in front of other people.

Raymond also showed his respect.

“It is also an honor for me to meet the Emperor Rosetail. Since the situation is urgent, could I hear the details first?”

“Come this way.”

Rose whispered softly as they walked down the aisle and the distance narrowed.

“Why are you here? You said it could be dangerous.”

If you abdicate, I’ll be in trouble too.

I couldn’t answer that, so I said this.

“I wanted to help Rose-sama.”

“… … .”

Rose stayed still for a moment, then sighed.

“If you keep doing that, you will become more and more greedy towards customers.”

“yes? yes?”

“Anyway, the situation is not good, so you must be careful.”

Rose glanced at Raymond’s body.

“Because your body does not belong to you.”

“… … .”

Raymond shut his mouth for some reason.

He owes 100 million pence.

And the loan agreement he signed had a physical waiver clause.

In other words, until the contractual debt was paid, his body belonged to Rose, not his.

Raymond cleared his throat, averting Rose’s dangerous gaze.

“I want to hear the situation first.”

“I have no idea what happened. But it’s clear that it’s the work of ‘them’.”

bastards.

It refers to the root cause of what has happened in the Iron Empire so far.

“The situation is too complicated. As soon as there were zombified patients, rumors of divine punishment began to circulate and riots broke out.”

“It means that someone planned it.”

“yes that’s right. As if it had been planned from the beginning, things are fitting together.”

“Then what are you going to do?”

“I’m thinking about it. The easiest and surest way is to incinerate the affected people and suppress the rioters with force.”

Rose frowned.

“That’s why we’re just following their intentions. First of all, we are focusing on finding the culprit that caused this situation. Unless this is truly a divine punishment from heaven, there must be a culprit who caused it.”

Raymond nodded heavily.

There seemed to be no other way.

‘But will the criminal be caught so easily?’

Finding the culprit without clues would be like finding a needle in the sand.

I had to find a clue.

‘I have to find out the cause of the zombification first.’

“Can I see the patient?”

“You want to see for yourself? If you get bitten by a zombified person, you can become a zombie as well.”

Raymond made a disgusted face.

“I still have to check. Please guide me to where the patients are.”

Rose sighed.

“There are patients who are not incinerated in the steel tower and quarantined.”

If it was a steel tower, it was the headquarters of the healers of the Iron Empire.

Due to the situation, it was difficult for Rose to leave the imperial palace, so someone else took over as a guide.

He went straight to the iron tower, but an unexpected person blocked his way.

It was someone I had seen before.

“Meet His Majesty, Emperor Raymond. I am Consian, the royal family of the Iron Empire.”

Raymond frowned.

‘The guy who asked me for debt.’

He was a bad guy who contacted Rose like a cricket when he thought he was dead and told her to pay off the debt.

“What is it?”

Naturally, the words came out bluntly.

“I have something to tell you, Your Majesty. Could you give me a minute?”

Raymond pondered, then nodded.

I wanted to hear what he was saying.

“What are you talking about?”

“Please help drive out His Majesty Rosetail.”

“… … what?”

Consian said with a mean expression.

“His Majesty must have heard of it. That His Majesty the Rosetail Emperor was dishonest and that divine punishment came down on his country.”

“… … .”

“Your Majesty, the saint of poverty, is recognized as the most noble on the continent. If you proclaim the immorality of Her Majesty Rosetail, Her Majesty Rosetail will not be able to stand it any longer.”

Raymond looked at Consian with an absurd look.

‘Is he crazy?’

What do you believe and say such nonsense?

“I know everything. That His Majesty fell for His Majesty Rosetail’s wicked scheming and was in huge debt and is still suffering.”

“… … .”

“His Majesty Rosetail’s tenacity and viciousness are well known. I can guess how great His Majesty’s suffering must be.”

Consian seemed to misunderstand Rose and Raymond and made this offer.

“When I become emperor, I will give you a special exemption from that debt. So come with me… … .”

“Are you done talking?”

“Your Majesty?”

Raymond raised his hand and showed a magic tool.

“Do you know what this is? Don’t call it a ‘recorder’. It’s a magic tool that stores voices.”

Consian’s complexion turned pale.

“I will tell Her Majesty Rosetail the truth about this conversation, so it would be better to talk to Her Majesty Rosetail.”

“Your Majesty!”

The contemplative Consian cried out earnestly.

Ignoring it or not, Raymond climbed into the carriage.

‘To think he’s such a low-key guy.’

One thing was certain.

‘That guy is not behind it.’

If it was behind the scenes, he wouldn’t have acted so stupidly.

‘Then who is it?’

Raymond furrowed his eyebrows.

The person Rose and Raymond most likely guessed was Consian.

It was because he was the person who would become the next emperor when Rose was dethroned, but looking at his current appearance, the possibility seemed low.

‘I’m sure you’ll find out after an interrogation. Rose-sama will take care of it.’

Raymond stopped thinking.

It was a steel tower.

* * *

As the name suggests, the steel tower was a large, high-rise building.

“Meet His Majesty, Emperor Raymond. My name is Ralph, the owner of the steel tower.”

Topju, who introduced himself as Ralph, was a middle-aged man with a hard look.

‘I’ve never heard of it. The best healer in the Iron Empire.’

Not an Ex-class healer.

Hill’s rating was known as SS.

Compared to the top healers in other places, the rating is somewhat lower.

Ralph instead earned a reputation for erudite healing knowledge.

‘Because all the famous papers published by the Iron Empire were written by him.’

He could be called the best expert in medicine at the time.

The problem was that there was too much wrong knowledge, but it was also unavoidable due to the limitations of the times.

“Nice to meet you. The garnish of Ralph Topju is familiar.”

“It’s not as good as His Majesty’s prestige.”

Ralph replied coldly.

It was the voice of the enemy.

It was a natural reaction as there was no reason to be good for each other as competitors.

In particular, Ralph was a person who would have had a reputation as the best scholar of his time if it had not been for Raymond, so he might have a repressive heart.

‘You didn’t come here to fight.’

Trampling the pylon was something I would have to do someday, but not now.

“I heard the story. You came to see the zombified patients?”

“That’s right. Please guide me.”

“It is meaningless. Please reconsider.”

“… … !”

Ralph said firmly.

“It is clear that those who became zombies did not get sick, but were punished. No matter how good your Majesty is as a healer, you cannot save them.”

Raymond hardened his face.

Still, Ralph was a healer with a ‘scientific’ way of thinking.

But how do you talk like that?

“You will have to check that out yourself. Please guide me.”

Ralph sighed.

“All right. Please come this way.”

Raymond, who was following Ralph, tilted his head.

Ralph was going downstairs.

“Aren’t you going to the infirmary? Is there a hospital room in the basement?”

“… … It is not a hospital room.”

After going down for a while, rooms covered with bars appeared.

It was a prison.

Raymond quickly understood why the patients were being imprisoned.

[Ugh… … .]

[Kurr.]

A terrifying moan.
