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

Chapter 503

Episode 503 Stone Statues Being Punished (6)

After that, Ray spent the entire day observing the stone chamber.

He knows very well that he doesn’t have much time.

It wouldn’t be strange if several kingdoms were destroyed by all sorts of civil wars and wars outside by now.

It must have been a huge mess for that amount of mana to disappear in an instant.

However, even so, Ray could not leave these chambers behind.

They were like the only clues found in a large dungeon.

If you investigate these things, you might find out something.

“Ugh. Anyway, this is too empty.”

The place where the stone statue of a young man used to be.

The filth could not be seen, as if it had already disappeared under the stone chamber.

Ray had absorbed all of the pond that stood out, so now it looked like there was just a hollow in the small stone chamber.

Could there really be something in this place?

I tried spreading mana and stomping my feet, but no significant change occurred.

“They are stone statues in the robes of saints.”

Judging from the state of the stone statue, it appeared to have been made quite a long time ago.

Why did they leave the statues here and poison them so that living things cannot approach them?

Without clearing up the question, Ray left the stone chamber.

Due to the lack of food, he hadn’t eaten for several days, but he never lost his hunger, perhaps thanks to absorbing the poison from the pond.

He patted his stomach and groaned.

“Let’s go eat the next mana.”

The goblins have already been sent back to their quarters.

It was because it was difficult to handle the divine power poison at their level.

He says that he will follow him even at the cost of his life, like a warlord, but Ray is exhausted trying to stop it.

As he walked through the hallway, he was greeted with fresh air that was different from before.

It’s probably because they removed one of the stone chambers that were filled with poison.

It was the first time in my life that I was happy with the musty air of the dungeon.

After walking for about 30 minutes, we arrived at the stone chamber where the ‘girl statue’ prayed.

A stone chamber slightly larger than the place where the stone statue of a young man was.

The state of the poisonous moss also didn’t look that old.

Ray pushed back the miasma that spread around him with mana.

“Drain.”

As he stretched out his hand and recited the starter word, the miasma that was pushed out was quickly absorbed into him.

Uh-uh-

With the resonance, even the poison of the pond is dragged.

It was as if an angry pond was about to swallow Ray.

However, it was an instant for the pond to be absorbed by him.

As before, there is no need to adjust the speed due to the lack of mana required for drain magic.

Sssss-!

The bottom of the pond was exposed with a creepy sound like a snake crawling across the ground.

Mana became more full than when he absorbed the poison in the stone chamber where the young man was.

Now, until you leave the dungeon, there will be little chance of being courted by mana.

“ha.”

He vomited out the remnants of the poison with a short breath and then moved his gaze to the stone statue of the girl.

The figure of a girl praying quietly came to me with some pity.

Poison was still flowing from the corner of his mouth, but it looked like he was praying to God and vomiting blood.

Ray gently placed his hand on the girl’s crown.

“Drain.”

The warm energy of mana enveloped the girl along with the starter word.

OK.

Puppy-!

The stone statue cracks and then shatters.

Light brown hair flows down from the stone statue, which must have been stone.

A small hand that was praying was revealed.

Those trembling hands seemed to be afraid of something.

I never thought that a person would appear from a stone statue that had been absorbed.

I had never seen anyone in the dungeon, so the feeling was new.

However, the emotion of pure surprise preceded it.

It was something he hadn’t expected at all.

Ray quickly reached out and supported the girl.

Then, he felt the cold girl’s body temperature.

“Ah … Ah ….”

The girl did not even come out properly.

Ray asked, taking the girl’s pulse.

“are you okay?”

“Ah… uh…”

My body is too cold.

At this rate, I thought I might die of hypothermia.

Ray quickly manifested his magic.

“Heat.”

Warm heat spread throughout the stone chamber.

The girl’s eyes slowly opened as the heat flowed through her body, which had been cold for a moment.

“Ah… bu… bee… is it… finally… over…”

Judging by the incomprehensible sound, I wondered if it was a hallucination caused by shock, but somehow it didn’t seem like it.

The girl’s gaze was looking at the place where the pond used to be, not herself.

bee?

What does it mean?

The moment Ray was about to ask the girl.

The girl’s body slowly began to melt.

It is similar to the statue of a young man.

without even trying to put my hands on something.

It failed to maintain its shape and left a puddle on the floor of the stone chamber.

Left alone in the stone chamber again, Ray blankly stared at the melted remains of the girl as if possessed by something.

“He was laughing.”

No doubt at the last moment she was laughing.

Even at the moment when his whole body melted, he was smiling happily.

why?

I do not know.

In the current situation, I couldn’t even infer something.

I couldn’t even guess what Gaia had done to this stone chamber.

Witnessing the shocking sight, Ray was lost in thought for a while in the stone chamber and did not know how to move.

* * *

As Ray said, Hafman always kept a close eye on the movements of the Black Room.

However, after the mana disappeared, somehow the black room did not show any change.

Halfman muttered as he stroked his beard.

“Um… that’s strange. If you plan to do something, now would be the right time.”

The fighting in the surrounding kingdoms does not stop, and the nobles who are looking for an opportunity plot a rebellion to gain the throne.

There has never been a period of chaos like this in the history of the continent.

If Heukbang was thinking of getting his hands on the continent and rolling it, aiming now was the best way.

“Since ancient times, the greatest force is the most terrifying when it is quiet. branch manager.”

When he called for the branch manager, the branch manager who was standing quietly in one place lowered his head and answered.

“yes.”

“Keep an eye on the movements of the Black Room more than now. Buy grain and combat supplies and maintain a relationship with the mercenary guild so you can be prepared for anything.”

At that, the branch manager hesitantly replied.

“…I’m sorry, Danlord, but there are no manpower left at the top.”

Halfman tilted his head at the unexpected answer.

It is the top of oneself called the continent’s best.

What do you mean when you say that you always have enough money and manpower, but you don’t have enough manpower?

The branch manager explained.

“No one wants to join the upper ranks to make a few pennies now that the surroundings are infested with bandits and soldiers. It’s a confusing time right now. No matter how big we are, we can’t avoid chaos.”

No matter how much money you spend, it’s not something you can’t do.

It is natural that life is more important than money.

At the words of the branch manager, Hafman thought for a moment and then nodded.

“Umm… I see. Let me solve that problem.”

Words once spoken are sober that there is no law to pick them up again.

The branch manager wondered if there was another trick.

Halfman, who was rummaging through something in his pocket, took out the top seal.

“I want to send a letter to the Holy Kingdom.”

“Are you talking about the letter?”

Halfman grinned at the branch manager’s question.

“The Seongguk has a civil war, but a religious war is in full swing. In the current situation, only soldiers are needed, but the guild is not needed. So, I plan to borrow the manpower of the upper ranks from the Holy Kingdom.”

Hearing this, the branch manager was taken aback.

“Are you thinking of purchasing the entire Merchant Chamber of the Holy Kingdom?”

“There is a corner where the people of the Holy Kingdom are united by faith, so they do not run away even when war breaks out. Of course, I plan to pay fair compensation.”

“Payment is not the problem! If another problem arises…”

No matter how mere the manpower of the upper ranks, they are believers in the Holy Kingdom.

If there were any problems with their safety, the Seongguk would use this as an excuse to request various things.

Halfman snorted.

“joy. In the meantime, there are many things that we have endured. If you protest over an insignificant issue, you will only stop supplying goods that were convenient for you.”

It is safe to say that Seongguk is in a state of war.

If the supply of supplies to the upper ranks was cut off here, it would surely be a fatal blow.

That’s why the Holy Kingdom can’t move recklessly.

After explaining that much, the branch manager also nodded.

But the worries didn’t go away.

he said with a worried face.

“But one day, our relationship with the Holy Kingdom may become strained. No matter how much the relationship is tied to Danju Taesang, the life and death of Danju Taesang is unclear.”

If he died inside the dungeon, Seongguk would not risk his life at the top of the half-man.

Therefore, it is highly likely that it will degenerate into a group-to-group relationship that simply seeks profit.

The branch manager is pinching such a point.

Halfman shook his head.

“My whole body is talking about the branch manager. Taesang Danju is alive. In the distance, the sweet lord’s scent wafts from within the Devil’s Nest. It must be my nose.”

I don’t know what kind of guy’s nose smells people who are in the Devil’s Land two or three domains away.

Did you even pour mana into your nose?

Hafman continued.

“So, we can make a statue of Taesang Danju here.”

He fiddles with a golden statue that looks like Taesang Danju, who is unknown when it was made.

Is that all?

Next to it are the robes and robes worn by Ray before that, folded neatly.

At this point, Danju’s mental world was very suspicious.

“If Danlord’s wife finds out, she will greatly bow down.”

The branch manager said with sincere concern.

Hana Hafman is still unharmed.

“This is like an amulet. If the guild is in danger at this time, the insider will understand.”

Even if you say such a thing with a face full of dignity, you won’t be trusted.

It seemed that it was not only the top that was dangerous.
