Doctor Player Chapter 119
“…The meeting ends here.”
Archduke Berard got up from his seat and headed somewhere.
A secretly sought after villa rather than a royal castle.
Even inside the villa, he went down deep underground through a secret passage no one knew about.
Then an amazing place appeared.
It was a huge basement.
There was a magic circle drawn in ghastly blood in the center, and a crystal ball connected to somewhere was visible.
“Activate.”
The magic circle shook with the starter word.
“connection.”
The crystal ball emitted a bright light.
I waited, but that was the end.
that the other party did not receive.
‘Damn it!’
His face contorted like a demon.
Archduke Berard thought about ‘them’.
They know nothing about their identity, name, or purpose.
‘They’ approached Archduke Berard, who was a lowly illegitimate son, and made him the position of grand duke.
Thanks to ‘them’, Archduke Berard was able to obtain the exquisite poison to poison his parents and siblings, as well as all sorts of despicable means.
The ‘Pastine Plague’ they tried to spread to Houston, the ‘Juice’ they tried to assassinate the Marquis of Langham, and the spraying of ‘mercury’ they plotted a while ago were all plans handed over by ‘they’.
They helped Berard a lot, but there was one problem.
It means you can’t contact them the way you want.
I only contacted them when they wanted to. Archduke Berard wanted to contact ‘them’, but he couldn’t.
‘Shit. I can’t help it.’
Grand Duke Berard, frowned upon, returned to the palace and gave orders.
“Call General Dulac.”
“What do you mean?”
Archduke Berard said in a cold voice.
“I will entrust military power to General Dulac. Bring me Raymond’s head.”
That’s how the best master of the Droton Kingdom came to the fore, and the war situation entered a new phase.
Meanwhile then Raymond.
I was having an interview with Duke Rife.
* * *
“Did you call?”
Raymond met Duke Rife with a puzzled face.
It was the first time the two of them had been interviewed together like this.
‘It’s inconvenient.’
Raymond was uncomfortable with Duke Rife because of his bad relationship with Seytil.
However, Duke Leif only looked at Raymond with a sharp gaze, but did not say anything.
The moment you want to become more uncomfortable.
Duke Leif told me a completely unexpected story.
“Good job.”
“…yes?”
“With your help, I was able to occupy the Rafal region. As the Commander-in-Chief of the Houston Kingdom Army and representing His Highness the King, I express my gratitude to you.”
“…!”
Raymond was perplexed.
To hear such praise from Duke Raif and not from anyone else!
“Thank you.”
‘Didn’t you hate me because of Seytil?’
As if noticing such a question, Duke Leif spoke.
“Are you curious that I say this?”
“…I thought you hated me.”
“To be honest, I didn’t like you very much at first. But that opinion soon changed.”
“Why?”
“Because I thought your talent was too wasteful to get rid of it just because of the bad relationship with Seytil.”
“…!”
For an instant, goose bumps ran down Raymond’s spine.
Now, Duke Leif used the word ‘removal’.
‘It’s a story that could have killed me if it had been. After all, the Duke of Leip is Seytil’s biggest supporter.’
If the commander-in-chief, Duke Rife, wanted to get rid of him, it wouldn’t have been a chore.
“The 4 queens saw me and asked me to kill you. In fact, I might have gotten rid of you if you’d been an insignificant pathetic bastard. I hate the sister the most in the world, but it’s still a request from my blood.”
Raymond’s eyes hardened.
“Why are you telling me that?”
“Didn’t I tell you? that your talent is not worth it I love talented people.”
Duke Leif looked straight into Raymond’s eyes.
And he brought out an unexpected and completely unexpected story.
“Do you intend to become my apprentice, Baron Pennin?”
“…!”
Raymond was hit in the head with a hammer and had a face.
“now…What did you say to me?”
Duke Leif calmly continued.
“I have been watching you all along. I don’t know whether you know it or not, but you possess the heavenly martial arts bestowed upon you. Sword Master. No, he is a mercenary who may reach even higher levels.”
“…!”
“It is a sin to rot that talent. Become my disciple and become the best knight. If your talent and my teachings meet, you may become the owner (sword owner) of a grand master sword that is said to be above the master.”
Raymond couldn’t come to his senses at the unexpected story.
Duke Rife’s gaze was too serious to dismiss it as a joke.
It was a gaze that felt longing beyond seriousness.
That, too, is a craving that seems somehow dangerous.
‘…Duke Life is really greedy for me! It’s because he wants to achieve the level he couldn’t achieve on behalf of me!’
Duke Leif spoke in a heavy voice.
“If you become my disciple, I will protect you from the threats of other princes. No one will ignore you now. Not only that, but you will gain the highest wealth and honor in the kingdom.”
Raymond made a troubled face.
Right now, Duke Leif was making a big mistake.
‘…I don’t have any talent It’s all stat feet.’
The reason he became stronger was simple.
It’s thanks to the ignorantly strengthened body with the stat feet!
It wasn’t a talent.
‘A knight is not my path.’
Raymond shook his head.
“sorry. I have no talent for swords.”
“No?”
“You seem to have misunderstood.”
Duke Leif twitched his eyebrows.
“You’re ignoring the Duke’s eyes.”
“It’s not like that, it’s real.”
“Then check again now.”
The atmosphere at Duke Leif suddenly changed.
Raymond had goosebumps running down his spine. An instinctive sense of danger ran through his body.
That moment.
The light flashed.
Duke Leif had blown his sword in an instant!
‘Huh, crazy!’
It was so fast that it was difficult to even react, let alone avoid!
The moment my hair turned white, a message from Excellence came to my mind.
[We received an unexpected attack! ‘Healer’s self-defense’ is manifested!]
[The enemy is extremely powerful! The ‘Dwarf who defeated the giant effect (2+)’ is manifested!]
[We are in a war situation! In an extreme crisis, the ‘survival instinct’ is automatically manifested!]
[The opponent is the ‘truth’! ‘Truth countermeasures’ are manifested in the violence of the truth! The effect of self-defense is partially enhanced!]
Stats are inflated!
[Stats]
Stamina: 52 (+5) → 93.5
Sense: 44 (+5) → 81.5
For reference, after the previous duel with Seitel, he leveled up a lot, so his basic stats had risen a lot.
Instinctively, the body moved, and the sword barely passed by.
‘Huh. crazy. You barely escaped!’
My heart was beating thump thump.
Meanwhile, Duke Leif looked at him even more astonished than Raymond.
‘Are you moving faster than before? Meanwhile?’
It was not an attack intended to kill.
An attack just to see Raymond’s reaction.
However, the results were far more disastrous than expected.
Avoid!
The movements he showed during the previous duel with Seytil were also amazing, but he has grown even more now.
‘…I haven’t heard of any reports of him doing physical training separately. But how did he grow up like that?’
Duke Leif swallowed.
‘Are you really a heavenly body?”
Raymond is getting stronger by itself.
It’s something that can’t be explained unless it’s heaven and earth.
‘…You must make a disciple.’
At this moment, Duke Leif forgot all the bad relations between Seytil and Raymond.
He was too brilliant a talent to be missed just because of the pitiful Seitell.
Raymond will make his unfulfilled dreams come true. could never miss
Meanwhile, Raymond backed away with a puzzled look on his face.
‘…because i have no talent Everyone should be mistaken, this man. And I’m not interested in sweaty knights.’
Let’s concede a hundred times and say we have talent.
I didn’t like it though.
How hard is it to become a knight?
It was terrifying to think of suffering in the scorching sun all the time during training. It was a hundred times better to see the patient.
‘There is a sense of pride in treating patients. I will never do anything like a knight!’
The problem is that Duke Rife doesn’t seem to give up easily.
I’m not an easygoing great man.
I needed a clever way to get out of it.
It would be troublesome if that scary man had any ill will.
‘You can’t pretend to be hastily rejected. oh what to do embarrassingly.’
But that was then.
Raymond had an idea.
‘for a moment. This isn’t necessarily a bad situation, is it?’
His eyes rolled degururuly.
purple!
Duke Life’s eyes full of longing.
‘Isn’t this an opportunity to catch a hukou if I do well?’
Raymond swallowed his saliva.
A good idea came to my mind.
A genius way to catch the Duke of Life as a keeper while refusing the offer of a disciple!
‘All I have to do is to torture the hope!’
It was a so-called hukou management operation!
“Thank you, Your Excellency, for your proposal. But as you know, I have a mandate to treat patients.”
“I know you care for the patient. But your talent must be a knight… ….”
“I’m not saying I won’t be an article unconditionally. It is an honorable path. Maybe one day I will change my mind.”
It’s a lie.
Sweaty knights won’t be forever.
“But not now. For now, I want to focus on my duty of treating patients. If you change your mind later, I will learn the sword then.”
Duke Raif asked disapprovingly.
“…So, are you saying you want to find the duke you saw then?”
“I don’t know.”
“what?”
Raymond answered naturally.
“Because there are many people who can learn the sword. His Excellency, Marquis Aris is also here… ….”
‘Even if I learn the sword, there’s no reason I have to learn it from you, right?’
Raymond grinned inwardly and looked at Duke Rife.
Flames flew from Duke Leif’s eyes.
“I’m much better than that parasitic longbi!”
“His Highness the King might be interested in my talent… ….”
“…His Highness the King is busy with state affairs. so….”
“There are other professional instructors.”
“I’m much better than those guys… ….”
Duke Leif groaned.
The life duke in the world is begging!
It was a truly rare sight.
Raymond said casually.
“Anyway, if I learn the sword, I plan to serve the person I have the most sympathy with as my teacher.”
“Heart goes through…say?”
“Because your teacher and disciple are like family. I will learn the sword from the person who treats me like family the most.”
This is what Raymond meant.
‘If you want to make me a disciple, do it with all your heart!’
