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

Chapter 688

Episode 688 The drug dealer (2)

“A cure?”

‘Are you sure what’s in this little bottle is a cure?’

Kleiman cast a look of disbelief.

Ray nodded at him.

“I made it day and night, so it should be effective.”

“If the saint said so, I would believe it… but it is doubtful whether the people will believe it.”

“I have to make them believe.”

“yes?”

Kleiman asked back at his confident words.

Even if it is not, there are many people who distrust the royal family because they cannot control an epidemic.

It wasn’t just the disease holders.

Even the other people of the royal capital who have to live with them are losing public sentiment one by one.

You’re going to change their mind in this situation?

To them, it sounded like an exaggerated statement beyond being bold.

“Can I ask what you think?”

Philia asked while hiding her concerns, but Ray only smirked.

“Not yet. You will know it naturally when you go to the capital, so be patient.”

“Umm… I see.”

“I will leave right now. Please prepare a wagon.”

At that, they looked at each other.

Even Earl Besson, who was not on good terms with Ray, felt sorry for Ray now.

Her messy hair and thick dark circles due to not washing for several days are too haggard to think of them as those of a saint.

The count, impatient, said a word.

“Let’s get some rest and then go.”

“I can’t.”

“Taking care of one’s health is also the duty of nobles.”

“These people have waited a long time. A cure has been created, but we cannot make you wait any longer.”

He smiled as he spoke, and Count Besson felt his heart pierce for some reason.

After a moment of silence, he rose from his seat.

“…I will prepare it right away.”

“thank you.”

After saying nothing, Ray immediately left the office.

* * *

After exiting the office and walking in the garden, Ray let out a sigh of relief.

“It was fortunate in misfortune.”

The true nature of the plague spreading in the capital.

It was none other than a symptom of demonic erosion.

Black spots and deterioration of the body.

It was a mistake to try to find the cause only in diseases and poisons from the beginning.

“I don’t know how they succeeded in refining Magi, but exceptions exist everywhere.”

Magi, which they called ‘divine power’, was generally safe.

Even if it enters the body, it does not cause a rejection reaction, but rather, it boosts people’s energy, just like divine magic.

However, among them there were sensitive people who could not accept even refined demonic energy.

Those were the sick people living lined up in the alleys of the royal capital right now.

Ray looked at the cure and smiled happily.

“If you heal and teach it, it will surely become a good force.”

Being sensitive to magic is in line with being sensitive to mana.

He didn’t know that if he taught the sick people swordsmanship, they would become talents who would emit sword auras, and if they taught magic, they might become talents who would rise above the 4th circle.

He intended to increase the military power of the Kingdom of Gleiman as much as possible.

That would be true, too, since Prince Semir would be able to use it to his advantage when he sat in the king’s seat in the future.

“Heh heh. Blessings are rolling on my feet.”

Feeling better, Ray whistled and walked to the private room.

* * *

As he brought the medicine he had made in the private room and loaded it onto the wagon, Kleiman looked at it and exclaimed in admiration.

“It’s definitely enough to keep you from sleeping.”

The correct answer was to bring several wagons just in case.

Two wagons were already full.

I brought all that amount by myself, and in fact, Ray wiped the sweat from his brow.

“This is enough to cure everything.”

To be honest, it’s more than enough to cure everyone.

Philia shook her head as if she was dumbfounded.

“There’s no way he could have made this amount alone… It seems there was a skilled helper in the kingdom, right?”

indeed a saint

How many great feats have he accumulated that his network of people can extend to foreign lands?

Ray said with an expression that he was hearing it for the first time.

“Did you make it yourself?”

“….”

“….”

The audience fell silent at his casual remark.

Not only Philia, but also Clayman and Earl Besson didn’t say anything, but expected Ray to have helpers.

It’s also true that the plague that spread in the capital was so terrible that even the priests and healers gave up.

Besides, it was not enough to develop a cure just because he stayed up all night for over a week, and he secured enough supplies to fill two wagons.

It was Count Besson who broke the silence.

He said not to worry.

“Don’t worry. We will not intervene just because there are people who help the Holy Son.”

“No, I really did it alone.”

The pupils of Philia, who had risen to the level of the 6th circle and took pride in knowing how to distinguish people’s lies, shook slightly.

I couldn’t detect any hint of lies from him as he spoke.

“Then, how will the experiment on whether the disease is cured…”

“I had a similar experience in the past. I experimented on myself.”

“There must have been side effects…”

“My head hurt a few times, but it’s okay. Because I adjusted the amount.”

I was laughing and talking about a story that almost made my head explode, but their complexions turned blue as they listened to the story.

such a crazy bastard

Even a notorious black magician does not conduct human experiments with his own body.

It is said that what is in front of you is a worse person than that.

“Ha, but it might not work, wouldn’t it?”

“You won’t know until you try it.”

He smiled and smiled as he spoke.

The raw material of the cure itself is holy water imported from the Holy Land.

Even if you drink it, it will be good for your body, but you will not suffer from side effects.

However, for those who did not know such a fact, Ray’s laughter was interpreted differently.

‘Are you saying you’re going to experiment on the people yourself? Mmm.’

‘…I wonder if this person is truly the saint chosen by God.’

‘He was crazy too! I must report to His Majesty the King!’

They didn’t say it out loud, but they had similar thoughts.

Each of the three climbed into the coachman’s seat.

Originally, they planned to accompany the coachman, but they had no choice but to drive the carriage at Ray’s request that no one should be brought.

“Then we will depart.”

Kleiman, who was in charge of the lead carriage, spoke and moved the carriage, and the two carriages followed suit.

After passing a well-paved road, the place they headed was a bumpy slope.

Follow the small road in the forest to get out of the royal road completely and head for the western port area.

Philia asked, questioning his unnecessary actions.

“Does it really need to tour other regions?”

“The more eyes you see, the more rumors will circulate. When you leave the forest, raise your flag high.”

“yes.”

She prepared to raise the flag of the carriage.

I wondered why they were asking for a flag with a strange pattern on it, but what can I do?

what you have to do if you do.

Less-! Less-!

As the slope intensified, the carriage rocked violently.

I am worried that the treatments listed in the back will not spill out.

Kleiman shouted as he ran the wagon.

“This is a place famous for banditry, so I’ll change direction once I get off the royal road!”

At that, Ray shook his head.

“Run all the way forward.”

“yes? But the bandits…”

“I know.”

What are you thinking?

He was instructing us to run in a straight line and penetrate the bandit forest.

Well, even the three of them here had enough power to destroy a decent amount of living things, so Kleiman didn’t have much to worry about.

“All right!”

No, rather, he seemed excited.

As he increased the speed of the wagon and ran through the forest like mad, the wagons behind him also sped up to catch up.

By the time we have completely left the royal road and reached the end of the forest.

A well-maintained road appeared and the wagon entered a stable period.

At that time, bandits dressed in leather armor appeared as if they were waiting first.

“Stop!”

Standing in the line of fire in an instant and sieging while aiming a bow is not a skill that has been done once or twice.

Kleiman asked.

“What should I do?”

“I told you to stop, but you have to stop. If you get hit by an arrow, the cure might break.”

In fact, because of the strengthening and preservation magics, it would withstand moderate shocks, but Ray instructed to build it obediently.

As Clayman slowed down the carriage, Filia and Earl Besson also slowly stopped it.

still holding the bow.

The bandits approaching with their swords laughed.

“How long is this? It’s an expensive-looking carriage, boss.”

“You have lived a good life, and the heavens reward you.”

Kleiman quietly got off the driver’s seat and raised his hand.

“We have no intention of fighting. I’ll pay the toll, so won’t you let go?”

“Toll fee? ha ha ha! It’s been half a year since no one has passed on this road! If it were you, would you let go!”

It seems that a battle is inevitable.

Count Besson, who had nothing to do with the Battle of Gajinba, naturally hid himself, and Filia followed.

“You’re saying you’re going to attack me even though I’m going to pay the toll?”

When she appeared, the bandits’ eyes widened.

Philia was over thirty, but by the time she reached the 6th circle, her appearance was in her early twenties.

In addition, even though she was hiding it with a robe, her graceful figure that was occasionally revealed was enough to thrill the hearts of many men.

Bandits were no exception to that.

The bandit leader, who had been licking his lips with his tongue, grinned.

“Today is a very lucky day.”

“Please leave us some too!”

“Get that bitch!”

“yes!”

When the boss gave the order, the bandits under his command rushed at once.

You don’t even know who your opponent is.

Philia’s eyes narrowed coldly.

“They’re not even beasts.”

The country’s corps commander slowly released mana.
