#I was looking forward to episode 137 of Dr. Player, but
there was not much talk.
“Hehe, I don’t know how to repay the light of the Gentiles. thank you.”
“no. I am happy as a healer.”
“You are really great, too. My disciples said that you are like a light who has no material desires and only cares for others. It seems real.”
Raymond’s chest burned.
‘No, I’m not like that at all. Don’t you know the manners and humility? Grandpa, if you made a promise, you should keep it. Give me the treasure!’
Not knowing what he was thinking, Tang Kan just praised Raymond with a kind smile.
When Raymond’s stomach was on the verge of drying out with nervousness, he finally brought up the story he wanted.
“I am delighted to be able to offer my clan’s treasure to the great Stranger Light. Please follow me.”
‘at las!’
Raymond’s heart skipped a beat.
‘How great a treasure is it? It must be an incredibly splendid and expensive treasure to the extent that Archduke Berard is aiming for it.’
Who is Archduke Berard?
He is the one who grabbed all the wealth of the Droton Kingdom.
It must be a treasure of great value, as such a man would hope for.
‘Maybe I can become super rich with just this treasure.’
“This is it.”
Tangkan led Raymond inside the old-fashioned tent.
My heart swells with anticipation!
A worn-out dagger caught my eye.
“This dagger is our clan’s treasure.”
“…yes?”
Raymond made an airy face.
The treasure that Archduke Berard was aiming for? Just this old antique dagger?
‘Nonsense! What kind of treasure is this?!’
I looked closely to see if there was a valuable aspect I didn’t know about, but it was just an antique. Even me was blunt.
However, Tang Kan said with an infinitely proud face.
“This is the dagger used by Ramen, the saint of our tribe in the past. He who was a healer is said to have risked his life with this dagger to prevent the invasion of enemies.”
“Oh no…This dagger… ….”
“haha. No need to refuse. Coincidentally, the Light of the Stranger is also a healer, so I think it will suit him well.”
No, I don’t need antiques like this!
Raymond shouted inwardly, but Tangkan held out his dagger with a very pleased face.
‘I didn’t want an antique like this. Even if I sell something like this, I won’t get even 100 pennies.’
I was disappointed because I had high expectations.
It was the moment when he held the dagger in his hand as he swallowed his tears.
[‘Special Weapon’ acquired!]
[Ramen’s Dagger]
Type: Offensive item (one-time)
Rating: Unique
– This is the dagger used by Ramen, the saint of the Lan tribe! When you become the owner of the dagger, you will be able to inherit some of his powers that he sacrificed himself to protect the tribe!
‘master?’
It was a puzzled moment.
[Became the owner of the dagger through a proper acquisition process!]
[Inherited some of the power of Saint Ramen!]
[Acquired the skill ‘Healer’s Murder Saint’!]
‘… …what?’
Raymond’s face hardened.
‘Sad… …What skill?’
[Healer’s Murder Saint]
Classification: Self-defense Skill
Rating: Unique
Proficiency: D
– A skill that inherited the courage of Ramen, the saint of the Ran tribe. When you go out to protect a patient, you can hit the enemy with a fatal attack.
– When the skill is activated, physical stats increase by 1.3 times and sensory stats by 1.5 times.
And that wasn’t all.
[Healers who want to protect patients are strong! When the skill is activated, the ‘fighting instinct’ is manifested!]
[Caution: Can only be used once a week.]
“….”
Raymond was silent.
something this?
‘Even when I heard Count Meibo’s winter sword before, it had a similar effect.’
winter sword.
It was a sword obtained after a bet with Count Maybo at Bioton Castle.
Holding that treasured sword had the effect of increasing the physical stat by 5 points.
‘Can I get these effects if I use a special sword or weapon?’
It probably seemed like that.
Raymond looked at the old dagger again.
If you look closely, you can see that it is emitting an eerie energy.
‘Anyway, he’s a living saint?’
Raymond made a puzzled face.
‘I don’t want to take that risk. What is a murder saint?’
He is a safety first advocate.
Are you taking risks for others? I hated just imagining it.
I will suck honey in the safest place unconditionally.
‘Of course, the effect would be good if activated. It will be activated together with the survival instinct skill.’
For reference, the survival instinct skill was 1.5 times the stat increase.
If you use it together, it’s limited to one attack, but your stats will rise almost twice.
If that happened, I couldn’t guess how much physical ability I would be able to use.
‘Well, I still hate it. Dangerous is scary. Moreover, the expression of the fighting instinct. What else is that?’
Raymond promised.
I will never use this skill!
It was sealed forever.
‘Ask for a treasure that makes money instead of a dagger with useless skills. It sucks.’
On the other hand, without knowing Raymond’s feelings, Tangkan smiled happily.
“I am glad that the treasure has found a good owner. haha.”
But that was then.
Suddenly an urgent voice was heard.
“master! It’s a big deal!”
It was Hanson.
“What happened?”
“The top of the outside has arrived!”
Raymond tilted his head.
‘How’s the boss arriving?’
Desert tribes, of course, also interacted with the outside world. Wouldn’t it be unusual for the top to arrive?
“that is…! The caravan is transporting a body, and someone you know is in a coffin!”
“Acquaintance?”
“I am your Excellency Duke of Nereif!”
“…!”
Hanson shouted heavily.
“His Excellency Duke Rife, who was the commander-in-chief, is in the coffin!”
Raymond’s complexion turned white.
* * *
Raymond immediately rushed out to check the coffin.
It really was.
Duke Leif lay in the coffin with a pale face.
‘These terrible injuries.’
Raymond swallowed.
There was no place where the whole body was intact. His whole body was soaked in blood and full of all sorts of wounds.
The most serious place was the center of the chest.
A broken sword was stuck in his chest.
‘…There’s no way he’ll be alive with an injury like that.’
Raymond asked the merchant who carried the Duke of Rife’s body.
“What happened?”
“I discovered it by accident while going up near the Peter River that flows in the central region of the Drowton Kingdom. It was judged that it was already difficult to save, so I took care of it to find my family later and return the body. By the way, is this a very high-ranking nobleman?”
The merchant looked up and said.
“…Thank you for your effort.”
Raymond’s face hardened.
To be honest, I have never built a bond with the Duke of Life. Rather, it was a difficult relationship because of Seitel.
However, it was undeniable that he was a great commander.
Because Duke Leif moderated Raymond’s opinion without prejudice, he was able to make great achievements.
Also, at the last moment of defeat, he alone blocked the Droton Kingdom army, and thanks to that, countless Houston Kingdom forces were able to save their lives.
‘…To die like this.’
Raymond sighed deeply.
I tried to feel the pulse on my wrist just in case, but it didn’t run.
“I think we should keep the body well and give it for a funeral.”
“yes.”
Christine and Elmud Hanson nodded heavily as well.
‘Rest in peace.’
It was the moment to close the coffin again.
Raymond stopped abruptly.
quick.
very feeble.
There was a faint, almost inaudible sound!
‘no way?’
Raymond listened intently again.
Is it because of the stamina stat of over 50? A faint sound was heard again.
It was breathing!
‘no. Not dead yet! I’m alive!’
I hurriedly checked my Mac.
There is still no pulse in the carotid artery.
When I focused my senses on the femoral artery of my leg as much as possible, I felt a faint pulse!
It was a Mac that seemed to shut down at any moment!
“Alive!”
“Really Master?”
“Your brother. Grab a line now! Check Hanson’s ECG and prepare blood transfusion!”
Raymond hastily ordered.
‘Can I save him?’
Raymond looked at Duke Rife’s condition with heavy eyes.
I honestly wasn’t sure.
It was in such bad shape.
It seemed that he was barely surviving with the strong physical strength of a sword master, but he had already crossed the threshold of death.
In this condition, the risk of death was much higher with any treatment.
Indeed, the message came to mind.
[Quest occurs!]
[Do your best and last treatment!]
(Medicine Quest)
Medicine Grade: Two and a Half Scalpel
Difficulty: Good
Quest Description: There is a patient with an extremely slim chance of being revived. However, it is the doctor’s duty to do his best to treat patients even if their chances of survival are slim. Give the best and last treatment!
Conditions for clearing: Best effort
reward: Bonus level up x 2 skill points 50 points

the contents of the quest, Raymond closed his eyes.
The conditions of the quest were different from usual.
It’s not ‘live’, it’s ‘do your best’. That is, there is little chance of survival.
but.
‘To be my disciple.’
Recalling what Duke Rife had said, Raymond bit his lip.
‘Damn it, I won’t let go of the Hogu that came into my grasp. I will definitely come alive I will save him and continue to be my hukou.’
Just do your best?
Raymond shook his head vigorously.
It’s not just about doing your best, it’s about surviving unconditionally.
Raymond was determined.
* * *
Fluid Rapid Injection Transfusion Base Injection Even Heal.
All possible emergency measures were taken.
But there was no improvement whatsoever.
I checked the electrocardiogram, but the condition was not serious.
“A strange rhythm keeps passing through the electrocardiogram, Master.”
Raymond bit his lip.
‘It’s ventricular tachycardia. It means the state right before a heart attack.’
At this rate, I will definitely die.
Something had to be done.
‘What should I do?’
Raymond examined Duke Rife’s condition from head to toe.
There were numerous wounds, but the most serious was by far the sword wound in the chest.
The long sword blade was terrifyingly stuck.
‘The other wounds are not life-threatening. It must have been because of that puncture wound in the chest.’
Raymond recalled the knowledge of ‘traumatology’ that had reached grade B.
‘I need an emergency sternotomy right now. Otherwise, I can’t save him.’
Sternotomy.
It means to open the middle of the chest with surgery.
You have to open your heart and heal the problem inside. that was the only solution.
But Raymond still thought with a dark face.
‘Sternotomy is an operation that puts a lot of strain on the patient’s body. Given his current condition, the possibility of table death (death during surgery) is very high.’
