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

Chapter 399

Episode 399 Second Shrine (5)

No one opened their mouths, and only heavy silence continued.

It was evening in that state.

It became dark in the son-in-law, and the sunset of Yeon Yeon-hong was completely set, revealing a mysterious purple forest.

Ray silently lit a fire in the furnace.

Then, a bright red fire lit up the surroundings.

Tak-tak-

The sound of burning firewood rang loudly.

Aira, who had been watching him quietly, asked cautiously.

“What are you planning to do, Ray?”

When the beautiful voice resounded, Ray looked at the hearth and answered.

“…I do not know either. What should I do? The fact that the high elves disappeared without even sending a rescue request means that there is such a danger lurking at the Gate. If we go without countermeasures, we could be in danger.”

She nodded.

“That is correct. But we can’t stay like this forever, can we?”

At Aira’s words, Ray gently closed his eyes.

He also knew that measures had to be taken.

But what do you need to know to take measures?

I couldn’t prepare without knowing anything.

Aira opened her mouth to him who was lost in thought.

“…I won’t go.”

Ray’s eyes turned to her.

Aira said one more time clearly as if to confirm her words.

“I said I would go.”

His expression suddenly became complicated.

“If you leave too, I will be left alone in the temple again. Even the countermeasures we could have taken when we were two disappear. Besides… it’s dangerous. There may have been enemies that you couldn’t handle even with your strength. I’d rather complete the magic circle of the altar in the temple and close the gate…” After

persuading Aira once, Ray shook her head and shut her mouth.

A small smile crept across her face.

“When, at what time. Even at the moment when we are having a conversation like this, it is not known whether a monster will come out of the gate. If we can’t prevent it, it will be meaningless to build a temple or an altar.”

He gently stroked Ray’s hair.

“Even if I go, things might not change. But the time to go has come, so we must walk. That is the mindset of a guardian of the elves.”

Guardian of the High Elves.

who keep them

It was one of the few formulas to describe Aira.

She is the guardian of the elves, a creature of Middle-earth, and a living being who has been commanded to protect the altar.

He said he would enter the gate himself.

There was the guardian’s thought, the creature’s mind, and the living being’s will.

There was no thought of ‘Ira’ anywhere.

Knowing that, Ray didn’t open his mouth.

I met her gaze.

As soon as the straight eyes looked at him, he couldn’t stop it even though he wanted to stop it like a chimney.

In the end, Ray had no choice but to repeat what he had told Versia to Aira.

“If it’s dangerous, come back right away.”

“Don’t let that happen.”

Even Aira, who had just woken up, left for the gate.

Evening on the 13th.

Ray was left alone again.

Those who entrusted themselves to Seongguk were recognized as VIPs in their own way and were able to use the VIP room.

After recovering from the fatigue of the two-day journey, they frowned at the instructions from the Holy Kingdom.

“To go to Celia Kingdom. This seems a little too much.”

“It’s only been two days since I came. The treatment is seriously poor!”

“What can I do? After all, we are strangers. The timing of the Seongguk is also a bit exquisite, so it’s natural to be suspicious.”

They immediately noticed Seongguk’s intentions.

They might be the dark forces or the secret powers of the small kingdom alliance, so they would be dispatched to the kingdom of Celia.

However, even so, it was not polite to kick out those who came from a long way in two days.

“The rumors that Seongguk has big hands must have been all nonsense.”

“Tsk tsk I came here to help, but I was neglected like this. I’ve been a wizard for over 30 years, but this is the first time I’ve ever been treated like this.”

Since each one of them were good wizards in the kingdom, they felt very bad when they were neglected.

But even so, they followed the instructions of the Holy Kingdom.

After cleaning up and getting ready, he left for Celia Kingdom.

No matter how much the Holy Kingdom supported the wagon, the magicians had no difference in physical strength from ordinary soldiers.

It took several days to come to Seongguk, and after two days to leave again, physical problems arose.

So the break time got longer and the speed of arriving at Celia Kingdom slowed down.

Celia, who had been waiting for reinforcements as soon as possible, was about to explode.

After a few more days, the cult was able to reach Silia’s castle.

“welcome. I was waiting.”

Unlike Seongguk, Celia treated them generously.

The kingdom of Celia had a lot of money.

As an intermediary trading country, it earned a lot of gold coins, so once a banquet was held, it was held so that it could not be more abundant.

Of course, as they know, it was just a gimmick.

By welcoming them grandly, Celia let the world know that the Holy Kingdom had given up reinforcements for Celia.

The Silian nobles watching them from the banquet hall opened their mouths.

“I hoped for reinforcements, but they only sent over 300 wizards. It seems that Seongguk thinks of Celia more than we thought.”

“It seems that you owe a great debt to the Holy Kingdom. Sooner or later, the war of nerves with the small kingdom alliance will end, and we will have to send an envoy.”

Whether intentional or unintentional, when they were treated well, the religion also treated them kindly.

“It’s an honor to be invited to Celia’s royal palace.”

“I heard about it through rumors, but it is indeed a castle comparable to the Lessian Empire.”

The atmosphere became more harmonious as only pleasant words were exchanged.

“We are even more reassured that talented mages have come. If you need anything, feel free to tell me.”

“ha ha ha. thank you I have no shame, but I will take care of it.”

Nobles are very sensitive to mutual courtesy.

However, since each of them was a wizard, they were all close to the nobles to some extent.

They learned etiquette even before entering the school, so there was not a single one among the teachers who did not know etiquette.

The nobles of the Celia Kingdom looked at them and nodded.

‘I thought how arrogant they were to be called wizards, but they were much better than I thought.’

‘They must be wizards selected and sent from the Holy Land. Even when dealing with aristocrats in a foreign country, they are rather considerate, so I can see why the Seongguk is called a great nation.’

Favor for the Holy Kingdom increased, which was not there before.

They had a great misunderstanding of the Holy Kingdom.

A sound was heard.

Splash –

The sound of splashing water.

The sound of a small stone waking up a calm sleep.

The sound of dipping your feet into the babbling valley.

A sound of many shapes rang in my ears.

Splash—

Ray’s eyes slowly opened after falling asleep.

center of the temple.

slept there

Thinking that Aira would definitely come back after a day.

He, who never slept, struggled to fall asleep.

Until the moonlight becomes sunlight and the sunset turns into a starry sky.

Neither the high elves nor the children returned to the temple.

Sert, who left in fear, Bersia, who smiled and said not to worry, and even Aira, who hugged her, were eaten by the gate.

The ink-colored hole was so large and wide that it could not be filled by swallowing them all.

Even before I fell asleep, the warmth that had been by my side had now disappeared.

The incense that remained in the temple, the heat from the fire.

disappeared with her.

Left alone.

I was left alone in this vast temple.

In the second opportunity prepared while waiting for them, the only one standing in the past was alone.

I walked out of the wide temple.

The brazier placed in front of the temple also passed by.

Crossing a cabin built on trees, his model gradually made its way into the woods.

With everyone gone, the only person who could check the gate was himself.

If I didn’t check, as Aira said, more damage could have been done.

He walked aimlessly as if possessed by something.

I passed the forest and climbed up the stream.

OK.

The first temple began to appear before my eyes.

A huge temple boasting a majestic figure.

Outside, there was a dark-colored hole showing off its presence with its mouth wide open.

Splash—

The water splashed in my ear again.

Let’s move our gaze to the sound we don’t know where it is coming from.

There was only a gate left there.

Splash—

the sound of water led him.

Splash –

the sound of the water that followed.

Splash—

with more and more sound.

Splash—

I became determined and said to myself.

-Do not go.

The formless sound shook the mind of someone who abandoned only the form.

There was no more sound of water.

-Do not go.

A blue marble appeared.

Instead of the sound of water, only someone’s earnest whisper tickled my ear.

My mind was confused.

The temptation of the sound was considerable, and the heart that did not want to leave raised its head to the surface.

but.

he has to go back

There is a place to return to.

There was a place I had to return to.

Everyone’s heart was touched and their own hands were touched.

so.

The second temple for all is complete.

‘I have to go.’

His heart, strong enough to resist temptation, dried up the stream.

‘I have to go.’

Waterfalls broke and valleys split.

With each step he took forward, the water gradually dried up.

one step.

The fog lifted and Aira, who was standing in it, came to her senses.

two steps.

Sert and Bersia woke up breathing in vain.

three steps.

Liveliness returned to the eyes of Heprion, Serien Hans, and Elisa.

And take four steps

Damn—!

The blue beads started to crack.
