To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor Chapter 140

I got up and left early in the morning after cleaning up my seat

in the cold land .

Fortunately, the snowstorm that raged all night had stopped, so there was no great difficulty in moving.

He activated mana into his body and increased his speed.

My feet were soaked and I couldn’t go as fast as I usually do, but it was much better than walking.

Continuing to move along the ridge of the mountain range, Ray stopped and admired the scenery created by the snow.

“Yeah. The scenery is no joke.”

A superb view was revealed along with the cliffs that seemed to have been cut.

The ice caps, which kept the shape of the years, were loftily revealing their appearance.

Admiration for the flawless white land in front of you comes out, but the weather suddenly starts to deteriorate for a while.

Because of the blizzard, visibility was poor, and the temperature was dropping even further, so Ray, who had been progressing well, was in trouble.

What if it happens suddenly? At least give me a warning!

The weather that changes without a word is very similar to the god of a certain castle country.

The blizzard blew and it was cold, and it was so cold that it was frost on my eyebrows.

Lay, who tightened her collar, looked at her blindly.

There was no time to wait for the blizzard to stop.

Because Proxia will continue to move even now.

Although my steps were slow compared to the distance, I had to put the significance of moving steadily forward.

Are you saying that this is the land where the Ice Dragon planted his breath?

It was so cold that if he hadn’t cast heat magic all over his body, he might have froze to death.

Even a tolerable monster would start running away the moment it stepped on this snowy land.

The colder the more you go towards the center of the mountain range, the stronger it permeates.

Ray’s mouth trembled.

“Aagh! cold! It’s insanely cold!”

No one was listening, but it was so loud that I couldn’t stop my mouth.

Even while talking like that, the speed doesn’t slow down, so it can be said that it is really horrible.

Did you walk like that for three hours? A tree stood apathetically near the end of the mountain range, as if seeing nothing in the maddening cold.

However, it looks very similar to a person, so it feels quite heterogeneous to call it a tree.

As soon as Ray saw the tree, he was able to recognize its identity.

‘A place like this is a dryer…’

Rather than wonder, I heard sympathy first.

Dryads usually take root in deep forests or on sunny ground.

In a way, it was more like a spirit than a monster.

How could they have rooted themselves in such a cold place?

The dryad spoke to Ray, who was trying to pass by with a tsk tsk.

“I never thought I’d see a human in a place like this…”

An androgynous dryad, neither male nor female, looked straight at Ray.

His expression is quite calm, perhaps because he is unaware of his situation.

“I didn’t even know there were dryads in a place like this.”

“I am not a dryad.”

A Drydra who denies himself.

Even if it went mad, it was clear that it was a mad tree.

Oh, that’s what happens when you turn around in the cold. I should never be like that until I get out of the snowy mountains.

With an even more pitiful expression, Ray shook his head.

“I don’t believe you. Would you believe me?”

The dryad rose from the ground where it had planted roots.

Then, the body that only showed the upper body began to show the lower body.

It had a lower body that looked like human legs and even a tail.

Ray was frightened.

Have you seen this crazy tree! No matter how unbearable the cold was, they pulled out their own roots!

Dryads die when uprooted.

However, the dryad that was attempting to commit suicide only stood there intact even after rooting it out.

The crazy dryad spoke.

“As you can see now, even if I am uprooted, I will not die.”

He says it very confidently, as if he were trying to brag.

Surprisingly, for a moment, Ray replied without much inspiration.

“okay.”

“…”

The conversation ended like that.

The road is urgent. It was time to disappear before getting involved with the madman.

As he tried to leave with mana wrapped around his legs, a tree presumed to be a dryad followed him.

The speed was so fast that it seemed to be walking slowly, but there was not much difference from himself.

It was quite amazing to see what I thought of as a root move and imitate the way people walk.

said the tree.

“It’s a really great divine power. Are you a rookie?”

My identity was revealed at once.

After all, if you can feel the divine power, you will find the enormous divine power floating around you strange.

Ray didn’t say anything.

It was because, if he answered, he would have to continue to accompany the crazy dryad that had taken root in the snowy mountains.

Since there is no answer, of course, the conversation should not be established.

Hana Ray realized the rare fact that a conversation can continue even if one party speaks one-way.

Originally, dryads were very talkative.

Most of the time, if you don’t like them or don’t acknowledge them, they won’t even talk to you.

However, unlike the known fact that this dryad was a mutant, there were too many words.

There were so many that it made me wonder if dryads could be used as firewood in the severe cold.

They are called Hamadriads because they are tree spirits rather than monsters.

On the outside, she looks like a petite beauty, but you should never ignore her.

Due to their long-lived nature, they have considerable power in their specialties, making them much more dangerous than they look.

The race itself is usually a female body, and if the adventurer is a very strong and handsome isomer, it has the characteristic of trying to keep it by its side by all means.

Recalling what he had seen in the book, Ray shook his head slightly.

Nothing fit.

This dryad next to him uproots himself, walks, and talks dirty.

Admiration came out naturally at the stupidity enough to be respected enough to plant roots in the cold snowy mountains.

Besides, the ability to hold strong isomers close to you?

Then what the hell is it that he follows without making an effort to hold on to it?

said Ray impatiently.

“How long are you planning to follow me?”

“I need strength. Human you have a lot of power. Could you share that power with me?”

His eyes, which had been indifferent to the dryad’s words, shone.

Since their race is so taciturn, it is rare for them to ask for favors.

However, if you grant their request, they will also grant you something you want.

‘The existence of dryads is obviously beneficial to the forest elves.’

Being a dryad that makes the forest healthy just by existing, I’m sure the elves of the Grencia Mountains will like it too.

It was an extremely snobbish idea to open one’s heart as a gift.

“When you say power, what kind of power do you mean?”

“It literally means. You need strength. Make me stronger.”

make it strong

Says difficult things very easily.

First of all, he is not omnipotent.

In the case of Zeke, it was a little different, but there was no way that a dog or a cow could make him stronger.

Moreover, in the case of dryads who do not even know how their body structure has been eaten, it is even more so.

With neither the time nor the ability to do so, it was best to just ignore it.

Thinking so, I go back to the way I was going, but this time, he doesn’t say anything and follows me with his mouth shut.

One day I’ll get tired of my pool and leave.

Hana Ray realized that his thoughts were wrong only after several hours.

As the son-in-law got dark, Ray stopped walking and prepared for camping.

Since it is a snowy mountain where not a single tree can be seen, there is not much firewood left.

Ray, who gathered the last remaining pieces of wood and made a fire, is warming up while a dryad is rummaging around.

Took-

Ray burst out laughing as he watched the dryad toss a handful of twigs from his body and toss them into the bonfire.

“Heh heh heh.”

I already thought it was a crazy tree, but this was really unexpected.

Throwing tree branches, which can be said to be part of the body, into the fire?

Even so, he makes a good expression while muttering that he is warm, as if he does not feel serious.

I wanted to understand, but I couldn’t.

* * *

In the morning, I start walking again.

It seems that there was a lot of snow while I was sleeping, and every time I took a step, my knees were completely covered.

Next to him, the dryad grumbled endlessly.

“cold! The roots are about to freeze!”

If the roots were likely to freeze, they should not have come to the snowy mountains in the first place.

“I just want you to stay quietly on the ground.”

“I can’t. It takes strength to go back.”

“Are you going back? Where?”

Doesn’t the snowy mountain have to be home?

The dryad spoke weakly to him who tilted his head as if wondering.

“It is a forest. At some point, humans came and we disappeared one by one… but until then, we were happy.”

“…forest?”

Are there any forests around here?

No matter how much you look around, you can see only pure white ice caps.

If there was, I had to go to another mountain range, but when I tried the mountain range ahead of me, there was only Grencia.

‘No way…’

I thought about it, but I shook my head.

Why did the dryads living there come all the way to this distant snowy mountain?

Besides, if you were living in Grencia, shouldn’t you have asked for help from the elves?

Those who love nature would never have turned a blind eye to the dryad crisis.

The reason why I had no choice but to run to the snowy mountain was probably because there were no elves around.

If you think about it that way, the front and back fit perfectly.

At least this dryad’s hometown would not be the Grerencia Mountains.

It’s pitiful, but where is the person who doesn’t have a story?

All Ray could do was nod his head and offer consolation, not consolation.

He also has work to do.

The situation he was in was not enough to blindly help.

After walking for half a day, the temperature rose considerably and the snow slowly melted and the land began to peep.

It is now the end point of the mountain range.

From now on, he could finally say that he was going to the Grencia Mountains.

As he tried to take one more step, the dryad, who had thought he would follow him to the end of the world, did not move from the spot as if he had been rooted.

“I am here. We can’t go together anymore.”

Is it a perverted dryad that can only live in snowy mountains?

There were a couple of questions, but Ray waved at him.

The dryad, who was usually so talkative, was silent when they said goodbye.

He seemed to be trying to say something, but he hesitated and then shut up.

Then, as if he would never open his mouth again, he returned to his tree-like honesty.

Ray smiled at the sight of his eyes moving, and left.

I didn’t talk until the end, but I could feel the desperation in his eyes.

It’s not just the dryads that are desperate.

If Proxia cannot be dealt with immediately, the continent will perish.

Many people will die and suffer.

Perhaps, in preparation for these things, God may have chosen him as a saint.

I was going to live a second life while developing medicine and saving patients, but I couldn’t refuse when the opportunity to save more people was thrown, why was fate so strange.

I felt the dryad’s presence behind my back.

For some reason, it seems that he will not move even one step until he returns.

I vaguely felt it, but I couldn’t get rid of the thought that he cared for me.
