Doctor Player Chapter 202
“We rather thank you, Master!”
“I admire you again!”
“Thank you Marquis!”
There was a commotion of excitement (?).
In this way, the supply was confirmed, and specific issues such as vaccine price and initial supply were decided to be discussed later.
‘It will take time to set up a mass production system.’
This time, the vaccine was made by collecting the vaccinia virus directly from the infected cow, but supply was limited in that way.
It was necessary to have a mass production system.
‘I should use fertilized eggs.’
In the modern world, vaccine production methods include those using fertilized eggs and those using cell culture.
Among them, cell culture was impossible due to technical limitations.
I had to use fertilized eggs.
Fortunately, the method of using fertilized eggs was not difficult and could be implemented sufficiently.
It was a challenge to create a sterile space, but it seemed that it could be solved using the power of magic and alchemy.
‘I’m going to have to build a big production plant.’
Raymond wasn’t just trying to sell vaccines to the Kingdom of Droton and Houston.
In the long run, he was aiming for people from all over the continent.
In addition, since he planned to make other vaccines, not just smallpox, he needed a large-scale production plant.
‘First of all, let’s build it in an appropriate scale and expand it gradually whenever a new market is opened.’
After finishing the vaccine story like that, Machapel III spoke again.
“But what reward will you receive?”
“yes?”
“Isn’t the supply of vaccines entirely for our Droton Kingdom? I want to repay my gratitude to Master.”
Machapel III said sullenly.
“I respect Master’s nobleness, but when I see him like this, I hate him a little. I hope you understand my desire to give Master a gift of gratitude.”
“That’s right, Marquis Pennin. I respect the high spirit of the Marquis, but if you continue to do so, the position of our Droton Kingdom will be difficult. Sometimes, try being purely greedy.”
Dulac shook his head as if he couldn’t stop it, and Macapell III bruised Dulac.
“Master Count Durac probably doesn’t even know what greed is.”
“Maybe? anyway…People say it’s hard to be too kind. Now that you have become a feudal lord, try to be greedy for the people of the Lafalde region, even if it’s not your personal greed.”
‘…I’m greedy, you idiots?’
Raymond made a puzzled face.
Is it because the image making was too perfect?
Everyone had very serious misunderstandings.
‘Well, even the system gave such a ridiculous evaluation.’
[Your commerce is the highest failing grade in every way (absolutely negative hand rating)!]
Raymond recalled the message and made a displeased face.
‘Yes, I will show you my commerce. Having said that, I have to be greedy in earnest.’
Then the quest came to mind.
[Bonus quest occurs in happy troubles!]
[Receive the best prize!]
(Ninjutsu quest)
Priority: Great doctor level
Difficulty: None.
Quest Description: I’m thinking about the prize for giving a big favor. The content of the award will be determined by your choice. Win the best prize! Bonus rewards will be awarded based on your ABC score!
Reward: Depends on evaluation
Raymond frowned.
I had received a similar quest before.
It was after sweeping the Dark Blade Guild, a malignant tumor in the slum bay area.
At that time, Raymond did not have any personal greed and only received compensation for the slums.
‘It’s different this time! I’m going to get the highest money reward!’
started to worry
The easiest way to ask for direct money is to dismiss it.
The financial situation of the Drowton Kingdom, which had gone through the war, was also not very good.
It must be a big crowd just by supplying food at a cheap price. Even if you ask for money, you won’t get much.
‘You have to come up with another way. This time, is this territory worth money?’
But Raymond shook his head.
‘It’s unreasonable for the Droton Kingdom to receive territory unless it belongs to the Crusader Empire.’
Nobles of the Crusader Empire can receive titles and fiefdoms in other countries within the alliance.
This is because in many cases, the lineage is complicatedly intertwined.
There was even a title called ‘Elder King’, which concurrently served as the king of several countries by inheriting the throne of the father and mother at the same time. There were many cases of royal marriages, so this happened quite often.
In any case, it was unreasonable to receive the territory of the Droton Kingdom.
I had to find another subtle way.
‘Is there anything worth accepting?’
I was anxiously thinking about it, but nothing came to mind.
When Raymond couldn’t say anything while worrying so much, the officials of the Droton Kingdom once again marveled.
“As expected, light.”
“I guess I can’t think of anything to be greedy for.”
“If it was your conviction, you would have requested at least the treasure of the royal family.”
Raymond was furious.
‘What is the treasure of the royal family! How much do you get for selling it? They’re trying to get something better, you idiots.’
Raymond closed his eyes and recalled the map of Drowton Kingdom.
There will definitely be a reward for money.
‘money. money. money.’
thought desperately.
‘Should I ask for a reduction in the trade tax? However, the trade volume itself is not large, so it won’t mean much.’
Raymond thought with resentful eyes.
‘Because of those damn mountains.’
If there are no mountains in the way, there will be infinite things to receive through trade. However, it was unreasonable given the geographical conditions.
‘I can’t pass through the plains in the middle of the mountain range.’
There were not only mountains in the south of the Lafalde region.
There was a narrow plain between the mountains.
‘It’s a problem because the plains over there are blocked by water.’
If it was a single stream, it would have been possible to pass it by bridge or boat, but it was not.
There were two rivers and lakes in a narrow plain.
In the far south, the river coming up from the Droton Kingdom flows sideways, and another river flows sideways in the Lafalde region.
There was even a large lake between the two rivers, so there were three obstacles made of water.
It was impossible to get through by bridge or boat.
Raymond shook his head in regret.
‘If these waters were connected as one, I could just move by boat.’
But that was the moment I thought about it.
‘uh? for a moment?’
One idea popped into my mind.
That’s huge too.
It was such an enormous thought that even when I thought about it, I froze stiffly.
“Master?”
“Marquis Penin?”
Machapel III and Dulac called, but could not answer.
The thoughts that had just come to mind were running wild in my head.
‘…I just need to connect the three waters into one.’
Raymond swallowed.
‘I’m making a canal. Then we can connect the Rafalde region and the Drowton Kingdom with a river.’
It was not an impossible idea.
no, it was quite possible.
First of all, there was a large lake in the middle, so the actual digging section was very short.
And the height of the land on both sides was the same, and it was even made of soil, not rocky ground, so it was the best condition for building a canal.
The above was the facts that Raymond found out when he investigated the former Lafalde region.
Raymond also noted one great significance.
‘It’s not just that the Rafalde region and the Drowton Kingdom are connected. The Houston Kingdom and the Drowton Kingdom are connected by a waterway. It’s also centered around the Lafalde region.’
Raymond swallowed again.
The two countries are connected by a waterway.
A strong shudder rose from the tremendous meaning.
‘The Lafalde region will become the center of trade between the two countries!’
Currently, Machapel III was working hard to improve relations with the Houston Kingdom.
In particular, it was trying to expand trade.
From the point of view of the Drowton Kingdom, the Houston Kingdom is the gateway to the Crusader Empire.
If you trade with such a Houston Kingdom, you can trade the necessary items with the Crusader Alliance Empire right next to you, not the distant Free City Alliance.
However, due to the rugged terrain of the Lafalde region, they were unable to find a proper way, but the problem was solved by drilling a waterway.
What if the two countries start trading in earnest?
‘I’m going to make a lot of money on the waterway tolls!’
And that wasn’t all.
The Lafalde region, located in the middle of the two countries, will become the center of trade and prosper tremendously.
The villagers of the Lafalde region will be able to live a much more affluent life than the poor now.
‘When the people of the province live well, I become wealthy too. I’m going to become the richest feudal lord in Houston!’
In parallel with the medical industry, the Lafalde region will prosper tremendously.
So, this was something that had to be done.
There was only one thing that stuck.
‘…What about the construction cost?’
Raymond’s eyes trembled.
When completed, it will surely bring him enormous wealth.
However, cost of construction was an issue.
‘No matter how low you set it, you’ll need a few million pennies. Where do you get the money from?’
Healer Ron?
I’ve borrowed enough now.
I thought I would borrow more if I asked for it, but I was afraid to borrow more now.
‘…It’s too good a business to give up. When it’s finished, you’ll be able to sweep the money. But I don’t have any money.’
If so, there is one way.
I had no choice but to extort other people’s money.
In other words, we had to find a co-investor.
After organizing his thoughts, Raymond opened his mouth with a firm face.
Just then, the skill was manifested.
[As a Healer Lord, I am negotiating at the territory level!]
[The skill ‘Negotiation Skill’ is manifested!]
My tongue became smoother.
Raymond opened his mouth with his proprietary ‘face for others’.
“What reward will you receive, Master?”
“In lieu of compensation, I would like to make an offer. I have an idea that will greatly prosper my country and the kingdom of Drowton. Would you like to hear?”
Everyone in the hall listened.
Raymond began to explain, and people widened their eyes.
Connecting the two countries with a waterway!
It was a truly unconventional idea.
The hall was covered with astonishment.
“Great…!”
“It is indeed the light of Houston Kingdom! Thinking like this!”
“If things go on like this, we will be able to trade directly with the Crusader Empire, so it will be a great benefit to our Droton Kingdom!”
Raymond smiled inwardly.
Looking at the reaction, it seemed that co-investors would be successfully attracted.
‘But it’s not enough with the Droton Kingdom. Not enough.’
Raymond thought of another target to extort money from.
‘I’ll have to extort money from the King Oden as well. This will be of great benefit to the Houston Kingdom.’
Raymond’s eyes lit up.
Extorts money from King Auden.
Just imagining it made me happy.
‘I’ll usually make money, even if I rob the royal family of treasure.’
Raymond had such a pleasant thought.
* * *
Meanwhile, at that time, King Auden was doing something unexpected.
“How are you, Your Highness?”
“It has improved a lot. Thank you.”
He was receiving treatment!
Moreover, the therapist was not Count Hellien.
A beautiful woman was treating King Auden.
