Doctor Player Chapter 211
“…?”
Everyone at the beef party made a surprised face.
The VIP Patient Project?
“This is a project that treats important noble patients in the Houston Kingdom. For free.”
“Is it free?”
“Yes, literally, this is a project responsible for the health of the people who support the Houston kingdom. So you can’t get paid for it.”
Everyone made puzzled faces.
It seemed like Raymond’s idea of wanting to serve everyone in the world, but is it really okay?
‘Penin Treatment Center is recording the highest deficit every month.’
Everyone was so worried.
The Pennin Treatment Center has never recorded a surplus even for a moment since coming to the Rafalde region.
Rather, it was breaking a new record for monthly losses. steeply too.
But are you trying to do something like that?
Of course, it was a bit of a joke.
Raymond thought darkly to himself.
‘There’s no way I, a snob to the bone, would try to lose money, right?’
For reference, the real name of the ‘VIP Patient Project’ was the ‘Best Hauk-Picking Project’.
said Raymond.
“Instead, we will receive donations for the people in accordance with the spirit of noblesse oblige instead of receiving medical expenses.”
“…!”
Pick up donations!
That was his real intention!
‘There is a limit no matter how much the treatment cost is ripped off. No matter how noble the opponent is, the limit is thousands of pennies per patient at best.’
On the other hand, there was no limit to the money that could be ripped off in this way.
It’s literally a donation for the people, not for medical expenses!
‘Actually, I didn’t come up with this, but it’s a method used by the king of the Holy Kingdom to extort medical expenses.’
King Seong.
In name and reality, he was the best healer on the continent and also one of the strongest knights on the continent.
He maintained the enormous budget of the kingdom through the money he earned as a healer, and it is said that he extorted money from influential people across the continent using such a method.
Here, Raymond used one more trick.
“Those who have practiced great noblesse oblige for the people will be published in the newspaper and thanked. Of course, I will also disclose what the donation was used for.”
The intention was to set up a competition for donations.
Since honor was at stake, it was clear that nobles would compete to pay.
However, this method had several drawbacks.
The first money received had to be used only for the people. Also, it had to be used for the entire kingdom of Houston, not just the Rafalde region.
‘This is fine. Building the canal is ultimately for the entire Houston kingdom. You can use it to build canals. As well as vaccine production.’
And another downside.
In the same vein, it could not be used for personal use.
‘What does it matter? Anyway, even now I don’t have a single penny I can spend.’
Raymond swallowed a tear.
Still, it would be okay to buy beef once in a while.
You could say it’s an immunity booster for patients.
On the other hand, without knowing Raymond’s black(?) inner thoughts, the disciples repeatedly admired him.
‘Surely brother! You really came up with an exquisite plan to serve the people and the sick at the same time.’
‘Surely my lord! I was touched again by the good heart of this old master!’
‘As expected Master! I respect you.’
All looked at Raymond with admiration, and Raymond declared resolutely:
“High nobles are equally painful when they are sick. From now on, the Penin Healing Center will take responsibility for the pain of the nobles.”
The meaning of the word was this.
That no VIP aristocrat would miss. I’m going to make them all hogu.
Picking up hukou to feed the Lafalde region… …No VIP patient project was put into operation.
* * *
Investigation of Hogu candidates…No, patient investigation was not difficult.
You can use Christine’s authority to use the information from the Healing Tower.
To use a high-level healer, you have to contact the Healing Tower, so the Healing Tower had information on all noble patients.
“Here are the patients who need treatment.”
Raymond made a surprised face when he saw the papers Christine had brought.
‘As expected, there are many patients even among nobles.’
If you think about it, even on the modern planet, it was rare to find a family without patients at all.
Because at some point in life, there will be patients.
Even on the modern Earth, where disease prevention is much more developed, there is no mention of Ray Pentaina here.
Most noble families were infested with patients.
‘Now that my reputation has been built up, even nobles won’t refuse my treatment.’
In fact, the idea itself has been around for a long time.
However, I couldn’t dare to start due to physical distance. I couldn’t ride a horse for more than a week or two every time I treated a patient.
So, when I returned to the capital, I was going to start it, but the shutter phone removed the distance restriction.
‘He eats a lot of beef, so he’s nasty, but he does such pretty things. It’s fine anyway.’
He treats suffering patients and earns a lot of money!
It was a project that truly met Raymond’s ideal.
On the other hand, Christine Hanson and others shook their heads at Raymond’s appearance.
‘The thought of treating a patient makes me so excited.’
‘As expected, patient idiot master.’
Looking at the documents then, Raymond realized one thing.
“Isn’t there anyone from the Marquis of Tern?”
“Among the characters of the Marquis of Tern, there is no one in particular needing help.”
Raymond worked up his appetite.
In fact, the most coveted hukou was the Marquis of Tern.
‘If I could rip off Marquis Tern’s hukou, I’d be able to make a lot of money.’
It wasn’t just the Seokjae thing I talked about earlier.
The richest feudal lord in Houston was the Duke of Raeburn in the East, from Christine’s family.
The next richest feudal lord was the Marquis of Tern.
The territory of the Marquis of Tern was enjoying great wealth with fertile plains and abundant resources.
Therefore, if the canal was opened, it was a guest who would be the most important customer.
‘If you establish a friendly relationship with the Marquis of Tern, it will be of great benefit to the Lafalde region. I’m going to make a lot of money too.’
Raymond imagined.
The sight of the resources of the Marquis of Tern being exported to the Drowton Kingdom via the canal he will build.
Raymond will sit back and make a bunch of money.
‘The Marquis of Tern is a friend who must forget the past and become close.’
Raymond made a sad face.
‘But you can’t be friends just because you want to.’
I don’t know if there was any chance, but there was no way to get closer to the other person hating him alone.
But Christine, who misunderstood Raymond’s expression, asked with strange eyes.
“The Marquis of Tern was always hostile to the Master, but still wants to help?”
“Yeah….”
Because the Marquis of Tern makes money.
But Christine said admiringly.
“You have a noble heart that wants to help even your enemies.”
“….”
“Because Master always emphasized that we should help any patient regardless.”
Raymond kept his mouth shut.
It wasn’t like that at all, but it was just shutting up.
However, Christine made a serious expression on her face as if she was thinking something, and said to the surroundings.
“Lord Hanson Lord Mevinson Excuse me, but could you please move over?”
“…?”
When the two of them backed off, Raymond put on a puzzled expression.
“What is it, disciple?”
“What I am telling you now is actually a top secret that should never be said. I trust you, but can you promise me to keep it a secret?”
“Is it related to the patient?”
“yes.”
Christine held her breath for a moment before speaking.
“There are some members of the Marquis of Tern who need Master’s help.”
“Who is it?”
“I’m the 3 queen mama.”
“…!”
Raymond made a surprised face.
The name came up unexpectedly.
3 Queen Vignette.
Lemerton’s biological mother was the younger brother of the Marquis of Terne.
In fact, the Marquis of Tern was supporting Lemerton because of the third queen.
‘Queen.’
Raymond recalled his memories at the palace.
‘Of the queens, 3 queens were at least better.’
It wasn’t a good thing.
The queen who was kind to him was the first queen. She was Sophia’s biological mother.
3 The queen was just indifferent to Raymond. 3 The queen devoted all her affection to her son, Lemerton, and ignored Raymond as if he did not exist at all.
‘It was exactly like ignoring dirty filth.’
Still, compared to the other queens, she was better.
The 2nd and 4th queens, who were very jealous, despised him, caught him for faults, and even beat him.
So ignoring it would have been better.
‘Ah, suddenly a bad memory.’
When I thought of the queens, I felt bad.
‘Oh, come to think of it, the three queens did a good job.’
Raymond recalled an old memory. It’s such a long time ago that it’s a fuzzy memory.
It was when he encountered the three queens shortly after entering the palace for the first time.
Seeing him, the three queens furrowed their eyebrows in disgust, and sighed as if they were thinking about it.
‘Yes, it’s not your fault.’
At that time, he did not understand the meaning of the three queens.
I only found out later.
‘He was the only person in the palace who told me that.’
Of course, that doesn’t mean the three queens are good people.
They weren’t abused, but they were thoroughly ignored.
“What’s wrong with the 3 queens?”
“They say I was cursed by God.”
Raymond’s eyes widened.
It was an unexpected story.
Is the queen a curse from God?
“What exactly is the curse of God?”
Curse of God.
Among the diseases that cannot be cured with healing, it is a term that collectively refers to diseases that cause disgust to others.
Of course, there were many different types.
Christine answered heavily.
“It’s a tumor in the face.”
“…!”
Raymond was startled.
A tumor on the face?
“Then, did the third queen go on vacation to the Marquis of Tern?”
3 The queen has not been seen in the palace for a long time.
recreation. To be precise, because of the feud with King Auden, he had been with the Marquis of Tern for quite some time.
“It’s not your vacation, it’s a deal to hide from other people’s eyes. They make excuses here and there, saying that even His Highness the King doesn’t know exactly what the Queen Mother is suffering from.”
Raymond groaned.
Tumors of the face.
It is a socially fatal disease for anyone, male or female.
Why did the queen have such an illness?
“How did you find out about it? Are you sure you’re keeping a secret?”
“Actually, a while ago, I was secretly contacted. Can you come and heal me?”
“ah.”
Raymond remembered that she was a famous healer in the Tower of Healing.
“Maybe I wanted to seek medical help with a feeling of grasping at straws. It would be difficult to contact the Master directly.”
