To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor Chapter 308

Episode 308 Signs of War (2)

The monster commotion in the village reached the ears of the neighboring feudal lord.

Despite the fact that a village in the area under his control was about to disappear, the lord remained calm.

“To think that monsters could be so concentrated in one village… It’s a strange thing.”

A knight with a shield-shaped thread pinned to his chest bowed his head.

“It is a village, but it is a village close to unexplored land. If it’s an orc that reproduces quickly, it’s understandable to some extent.”

“Hmm. So how did the village work go? If there were more than 200 orcs, I think it would have been left over after being wiped out…” ”

That’s it… They say that all the monsters were wiped out without leaving a single skin.”

Youngju, who had been boringly listening to the knight’s words, became interested.

Pull your body forward from the chair.

“Eliminated? I heard that there were not only orcs in the report, but also goblins?”

“If you add all the numbers together, it is estimated that there are more than five hundred. Rumor has it that the sky turned red and the ground shook terribly. After the commotion broke out for a moment, the monsters were nowhere to be seen. The source of the rumor is the village worms, so I’m a bit suspicious, but if it’s magic…” As

the knight gulped down his saliva as he spoke, the lord laughed and shook his head.

“You are old, too. Where in the world is such magic?”

“…I have never heard of the magic in rumors.”

A knight had never seen such a large-scale magic in his life.

In addition, when the magic was manifested, the villagers all evacuated to the back of the village.

In his opinion, there was no way the magic could have been seen properly from that distance.

Naturally, the knight also listened to them with only one ear and let them go through the other.

“Perhaps a few wizards adventuring around have joined in.”

Youngju thought nothing of it.

“I guess so. Investigate this a little more, and if nothing comes of it, just bury it. There’s nothing good about causing a fuss.”

“All right.”

Minister Deor moved the people of the Holy Kingdom to procure information.

Saint Iriel’s protection was promised, so no one dared to refuse his request.

I browsed the information about Proxia that I had gathered before, and compared their path with the current situation, and went through each one.

The first thing in common that caught my eye was the movement of the top.

As it was in the days of Proxia, and it is now, emerging merchants are growing.

If this happens, existing merchants will inevitably suffer a blow.

As the transactions that have been going on all the way go to Shinheung Trading, it is natural that funds will be insufficient.

If the current situation was in the middle of a disaster due to lack of funds, you can suspect Proxia.

However, the upper tiers that Seongguk is currently pushing did not even cut off the money line.

On the contrary, it can be said that it shows a significantly higher trend than before.

High Priest Deor stroked his chin and let out a saliva.

“Hmm… There are similarities, but I don’t think they’re too serious.”

Unlike now, during Proxia, it was really right to say ‘I was attacked’.

In an instant, merchants who had been trading with each other turned their backs, and the castle was greatly shaken both inside and outside the country.

As the vassals opened fire and foreign enemies declared war, there was no way even for the Seongguk to use their hands.

It was lukewarm compared to the time of Proxia, when it raged without even opening an eye, so High Priest Deor made the mistake of underestimating the opponent.

“Even if it’s a coded text, it’s just imitating them. If you look for it, you will find enough.”

Around the time when High Priest Deor was trying to gather forces and start an exploration in earnest.

The forces of darkness were already spreading throughout the eastern continent.

There are many outstanding families in the kingdom of Celia who have both literary and martial arts.

However, if you ask who is closest to Wen among them, many will pick the Meches family.

The previous king of Celia even said, ‘You cannot discuss learning without going through the Meches family.’

As such, the pride they had was great.

It is only natural that this is a family of those who teach etiquette to even a small worker who does chores.

The Meches family’s influence was not limited to academics.

Among the frontiers, he governs a territory that is quite close to the royal capital, so he is never pushed back in a power struggle between nobles.

In addition, Meches is also famous as a trading place.

The place where all the ascending roads converge is the Meches Territory.

Even the profits gained through intermediary trade were more than double that of most nobles.

As such, she receives the envy of many aristocrats.

Although the Marquis of Meches didn’t seem to think much of it.

King Celia summoned the Marquis of Meches to the castle.

He handed over a glass full of flavorful sake and congratulated him for his hard work.

“Thanks to Gyeonggi’s good management of the territory, trade requests do not cease. You have worked hard so far.”

The Marquis of Meches stepped back and lowered his head.

“All lands in the kingdom belong to His Majesty the King. How can I be sorry for the grace you entrusted to me?”

“Ha ha ha ha ha. It always seems to make my ears happy when I meet you. I’ll get you a drink.”

“I apologize.”

As he tilts his glass, the king casts a worried gaze.

“I’m worried anyway. The country’s finances are getting better day by day, but the eyes of neighboring countries are not good enough to like it… what should I do? I want to hear your thoughts…”

The Marquis vaguely noticed that the King was concerned about the Devon Kingdom.

To that, the Marquis of Meches answered without hesitation.

“The bigger the force, the more cowardly it is, and the decision is not easy. In times like these, it is best to be prepared to fight back.”

“I consider war the worst. Is there any other way?”

Shake your head and comment.

“The Devon kingdom is a kingdom where the power of nobles is strong. I have no desire to lose my gains by going to war in this golden age. In my short opinion, I think they are probably trying to profit through threats.”

These were the words of the Marquis of Meches, not anyone else.

The weight was different from what other aristocrats said.

King Celia thought hard and said.

“…That’s a clear answer. However, if you recklessly think that way and a war breaks out, you will lose a lot.”

“In order for the Devon Kingdom to send troops to us, we have to cross a mountain range in the middle. We will be fast until we reach the geographical point there, so even the forces of the Devon Kingdom, which are good at land battles, will be able to block it enough. If the situation is not good at all, can’t we just drag out time and cut off material support?”

As if reading lines written on parchment, King Celia was quite impressed by his views that flowed out without hesitation.

Who can grasp the Devon kingdom this far and tell me what they think?

Even if there was, he would have expressed an opinion different from his will because of fear of war.

King Celia personally filled his cup with wine.

He speaks indirectly to the Marquis of Meches, who politely accepted with both hands.

“…Why don’t you take charge of responding to the Devon Kingdom?”

The Marquis of Meches, who brushed off the alcohol at once, shook his head with a serious face.

“It is not the duty of a servant to immediately reject His Majesty’s words, but he is a foolish man who only knows how to sharpen his studies. If you are in charge of the medical history, you will surely be pointed at by those around you.”

Pretending to be exaggeratedly surprised.

“No, who in the world treats the Meches count family as ignorant? If there is anyone who dares to do such a thing, I will use my own hands.”

If he complains a little more, he will roll up his sleeves.

However, the Marquis of Meches was still stubborn.

“I will gladly accept the sin of rejecting Your Majesty’s request.”

Seeing him kneeling down on his seat, King Celia hurriedly raised the Marquis to his feet.

“You don’t have to. Thanks to the Lord’s advice, my head became lighter. You called a busy person and talked too much about work.”

From then on, the king did not bring up the story of the Devon kingdom to the Marquis of Meches.

King Celia, who had already found the right person, only licked his lips.

Rey, who had been granted an adventurer qualification in the guild, went straight to the Elf Village.

The mana of the forest, now familiar to him, gave him a refreshing breeze as if to welcome him.

“You can come here anytime.”

As you walk along the flower road that blooms in a mess, you will see a village with a superb view.

After a short exchange of greetings with the elves, we headed for Aira’s house.

When I open the door, I see Aira sitting with a puzzled look on her face.

“You are later than expected. One year.”

‘I guess I didn’t even want to see you all this time, right?’ A murmur was heard.

Lay, who put the big bag down in place, smiled.

“I miss you. The dwarf village I lived in for a year was hell.”

Aira, who knows Derp’s character, who is full of personality in a good way and a bitch in a bad way, bursts into laughter.

He covers his mouth with his white hand and smiles.

“Whoop whoop. I’m glad if there were any results. So… Derp’s will was safe, right?”

Ray thought deeply about the guy who meant Derp.

On the first day, he was slapped right on the cheek, and even when he didn’t like the side dish, he was slapped on the cheek.

There were times when I was told to go blacksmithing, and a lump of iron was thrown at me, and I was beaten because the sound of the hammer hitting the iron was too loud.

If Ira’s meaning of derp is to be slapped on the cheek, then that meaning has already been achieved.

After thinking about it for a few minutes, he nodded his head with difficulty.

“Certainly, Master Derp deserves to be said to be unrivaled in blacksmithing. Well, I’m angry as my personality is.”

Ray was taught a lot by Derp over a short period of time and a long period of time.

At first, he thought of him as an unlucky old Dwarf, but now he fully acknowledged him as his teacher.

Aira’s long ears twitched.

“teacher?”

“huh?”

“…Right. The old man who taught me for a year is my teacher, and I, who has only been a little over half a year…”

“I’m a lover.”

“……!”

The red-stained ears move violently.

“…Once more.”
