To Hell with Being a Saint, I’m a Doctor

Chapter 312

Episode 312 The old man brewing (1)

Morning sparring with Lacia has become a daily routine.

Grabbing the handle of the wooden sword, she rushes like Biho.

The sword that crossed three directions in an instant had even a sword spirit.

Ray took it easy.

When I flicked the blade with my index finger, Lacia’s sword, which seemed to have no gaps, trembled greatly.

The tip of the sword lost its direction and lost its destination.

He grabs her wrist as she urgently tries to retrieve the wooden sword and turns around.

Since the center of her body was focused on the sword, Lacia hit her butt in place.

Fluff—

It’s been a week since I started sparring.

Seven defeats today.

Lacia stood up from her seat as if she was angry.

“Brother! You really don’t use mana, right?”

His eyes are full of doubt.

Ray looked at her and smiled.

“You were the one who said let’s fight without mana.”

“That’s true, but…! Brother, you are actually using mana!”

I heard that the guy who farted gets angry.

“If you used mana, wouldn’t it feel weak? With your mana rod, that would be possible.”

“Of course, but the opponent is my older brother. And I don’t know what kind of move I didn’t know.”

It was only natural for Lacia to think this way, since she was always on her stomach every morning.

Originally, it is an established theory that the gap between mana users and ordinary people cannot be overcome with physical abilities alone.

However, no matter how much mana he raised, he couldn’t do anything because the difference was widening from the speed.

If the gap is this far, there is only one answer.

that he is using mana.

Rey, who noticed her sister’s thoughts, said while stroking her wrist.

“Then let me activate mana for a moment.”

“…”

As she silently pointed the wooden sword, mana gathered in front of her eyes.

By the time I felt a gentle breeze through the wide yard.

Ray was approaching the nervous Lacia’s side before she knew it.

I had no idea that anything was moving.

He just arrived as naturally as he had been there.

He hit her on the forehead without even reacting.

“Ah!”

Lacia, defeated and beaten to the forehead, took a few steps back.

However, the surprise was greater than the pain.

‘…This activates mana.’

It was different from other Auror users.

There was no movement, not even a sense of alienation.

Even when I saw him standing next to me, I thought nothing of it for a moment.

If this was a real battle, he would already be dead.

Lacia put down her wooden sword.

“Whew… Another defeat on my part. After all, I was stupid.”

It was definitely stupid.

It was so foolish to apply for sparring with a monster that there was no way to deal with.

“When you wield a sword, it’s better to use your strength moderately rather than blindly pouring your strength into it. You need to take a long-term view of the situation instead of continuing the battle with a single breath of swordsmanship.”

Even as Ray mercilessly threw himself on the ground, he clearly corrected the wrong part.

Nod your head and answer.

“I will always keep it in my heart.”

“okay.”

The two wrapped up their sparring by taking care of their clothes.

After the sparring, Lacia said with a relaxed face.

“As expected, my brother is strong. It’s to the point where my mother’s words about how she beat her father since she was a child are no longer a joke.”

It was a childhood when he insisted on fairness to his father and pulled out his sword skills.

Ale eventually surrendered after seeing a sword that was bigger than a single tree.

she spoke in a subtle tone.

“As expected, a special person is bound to be known somehow.”

There was even a mischievous smile on his lips.

At that, Ray also grinned.

nangjungjichu.

If you listen to the meaning, it means that she is not very different from himself.

The subtle smiles that bloomed on the faces of the two could not be erased at the mere words that were not even laughable.

Earl of Evos left for Seren Kingdom under the king’s command.

As a group, there was only one knight corps.

Although there were a few formally prepared gifts and a luxurious carriage, it was too simple to say that it was an envoy from another kingdom.

However, Count Evos had no particular complaints.

It’s not the way you go out to get something.

He was just trying to repay the trust of the King and the Marquis of Meches.

As the sun went down and the son-in-law grew dark, Count Evos stopped the carriage.

“Today, let’s sleep here.”

“All right.”

Knights accustomed to camping quickly made their place.

While looking at the surrounding terrain from inside the wagon, he looked at the map.

“Looks like we have another six days to go.”

It is quite a distance in six days with a wagon pulled by quality horses.

In practice, it may take longer than that, as we have to cross a few more gates and villages.

The knight commander approached Count Evos.

He had a bottle of wine in his hand.

“Will you take a sip too?”

At his words, Count Evos smiled happily.

“Heh heh heh. Do you mean to incline yourself to drink even when His Majesty orders you to go out? I don’t know if he’s overbearing or just stupid.”

“What is it? Even His Majesty the King would tolerate this much.”

“Then I’ll take one drink.”

The two have known each other for a long time.

They are from the same county family and are located right next to the estate, so they have been close since before.

King Celia knew that, so he sent the two together on this day.

It was the king’s own consideration.

Under the brightly shining moon, the two exchange glasses for each other.

“Come to think of it, you’ve been posted to the border recently. How is Devon Kingdom these days?”

The subject of the kingdom of Devon is currently a major concern within the kingdom of Celia.

It is reasonable that we have come to the point where war breaks out.

Knight Commander Kreus poured the alcohol down his throat.

“It was serious. There is not a day without quarrels at the border. It looks like it could explode sooner or later if you make a little mistake.”

What he means by bursting is a battle between soldiers at a small scale and a war between nations at a large scale.

If Kreath, who usually did not dare to assert anything, would say this much, it would be certain.

That’s how serious the current situation is.

Count Evos asked with a slightly stiffer face than before.

“That means… it’s not too far before a war breaks out?”

At the cautious question, Captain Kreus waved his hand.

“This person. Will there ever be a war anyway? War will not happen unless the other side declares war first. Just…”

“…only?”

He blurts out his words, but after a while, he continues to speak.

“If circumstances change, you never know. I, a mere armed man, cannot know how the situation will change.”

Interpreting its meaning, it is also in line with the fact that if the situation changes, there is nothing strange even if a war breaks out.

Count Evos drank without a word.

‘It looks like I’ll have to deal with the Seren Kingdom’s affairs well.’

With their resources and military support, even the Devon Kingdom would not be able to easily think of a war.

He once again felt deeply responsible for this incident.

Sake with emotion.

It was something I had heard at least once in Deron Village.

It was only a small amount of alcohol, the amount of a wooden bucket, but everyone who drank it said that they shed tears.

Hearing the rumors, local nobles and aristocrats spent a lot of money trying to find so-called emotional wine.

The old man who made Hana Gamjeongju only shook his head.

“It’s a drink I’ll never make again.”

It was a word he spat out while chasing out the idiots who came.

I tried appeasement and threatened, but the old man did not know how to move.

Even the nobles kicked their tongues and retreated as they refused to brew even while being beaten.

There are still rumors of sentimentalism that contained a sorrowful life.

Some people still visit the old man and beg him, but his will is firm.

“Even if you try to make something you can’t make, in the end there is no change in what you can’t make.”

He muttered incomprehensible words and closed his eyes.

It’s like saying, “If you’re going to kill me, kill me.”

No matter how much you want alcohol, it’s not enough to get it by killing an old man.

The majority lick their lips and withdraw.

However, a few people even beat the old man down in a fit of anger.

It’s been ten years since I owed sentimental stocks.

This has been a continuation of this life for the past ten years.

New wounds form before the old ones heal.

The old man brushed off his wretched body and stood up.

Even though I only moved for a short time, my body staggered greatly.

Due to an empty stomach, a growling sound vibrated in the stomach.

Although the throat is vineyard, the only thing I have learned in my life so far is brewing, and the only thing I can do with my old body is brewing alcohol.

Besides, even if it meant dying right away, he had no desire to give up brewing.

He had made up his mind to dedicate his life to alcohol from an early age.

I was crouching down in a corner of an alleyway trying to control my hunger as much as possible when a young man wearing a robe approached me from one side of the street.

In his hand, he sees an intact piece of bread.

“Eat this, old man.”

The old man raised his head slightly.

Looking at the faded sleeves and rust-colored, dirty look, it looks like a child hungry like himself.

To use food that would not be enough for oneself to feed others.

At that kind heart, the old man forced a bright smile.

“Heh heh heh. It’s okay. I’m just taking a break You young man will eat the bread.”

In fact, I want to shove the bread into my mouth right now.

However, he did not want to use the young man’s kindness to satisfy his hunger.

Rob’s young man muttered in trouble.

“Umm… I bought this for my old man…”

Even at first glance, it doesn’t seem like there’s anything that can be called money.

The robe was so old that I wondered if it had been abandoned somewhere, so it was natural to think that way.

Could it be that he bought bread with money he didn’t have?

What kind of heart is this?

The old man struggled to get himself up.

My legs are trembling, but I squeeze out the power that I don’t have and give it a firm strength.

“I am really fine. I’ve rested enough to rest, so I’ll have to go soon.”

The moment I was about to turn around.

The old man loses his strength and collapses.

Rob’s young man hurriedly flew a new model.

In an instant, they took the distance and accepted the old man.

Thanks to that, the newly bought bread ate a lot of dust.

For an instant, the irresistible sweet scent tickled the old man’s nose.

I haven’t eaten anything decent for almost a month.

It was hard to stay sane when the pieces of bread shimmered in front of me.

Suffering from severe hunger, he unknowingly snatches the bread and chews it vigorously.

The food I hadn’t felt before in my mouth gave me a taste of pleasure.

The moment I took another bite.

The old man suddenly came to his senses.

The startled old man quickly escaped from his arms.

The old man’s expression changed every moment due to shame and contempt for himself who took advantage of the young man’s goodwill.

“This is…”

The moment he tried to make an excuse.

The young man smiles kindly,

“It’s okay.”

The young man who had been deprived of bread seemed to be pretending to be indifferent.

He reassures the old man again.

“It’s really fine.”

For some reason, the tip of my nose frowned at the sight.

The old man finally burst into tears.

“Kuheuheuk… I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”

He said he was sorry over and over again, but his mouth was still chewing and swallowing the bread.

The young man simply closed his eyes and pretended not to see him.
