Doctor Player Chapter 263
Black Darkness Henatus.
It was an Arch Mage black mage with a whopping double level.
After reigning fear in the southern provinces of the Catal Kingdom for a long time, it caused an uprising.
Surprisingly, the common people followed him. It was because he was tired of the tyranny of nobles and healers for a long time.
Thanks to this, the uprising was not easily suppressed and it swept the southern provinces of the Catal Kingdom.
The rebellion lasted for a year and ended with the struggle of Nahel, the strongest knight in the Catal Kingdom, who gave his life.
At the last moment, Henatus shouted:
‘I will be cursed! You will forever suffer from the pain of my curse!’
People took it very seriously.
This is because it is impossible for even an Archmage-class black mage to place such a great curse on so many people.
But after some time.
People realized that Henatus’ curse was not a lie.
The deepest part of the southern region.
Three terrible curses fell upon the region of Loktar, where he met his final death.
After that day, the Loktar region became a land of the dead.
“If you go a little further, your destination is Serrance Castle.”
Elmud said.
He shouted to Rune and Ren with great spirit.
“This is the land of the dead! We must protect Your Highness! I will conduct training before the break!”
The twins, who are smart but inexperienced in social life, joined the training of their father, Elmud.
“yes!”
“It’s hard, but let’s do our best for the master!”
“…yes!”
“Training for the master!”
“…happy.”
“Training!”
“…happy.”
Elmud didn’t stop harassing the twins, but cautiously approached Mien, who was yawning on top of a tree.
“Here, Sir Myen. Joining the Rescue Knights and joining the training is… ….”
swish
Mien disappeared into another tree without listening, and Elmud died.
I’ve been trying to seduce Mien since before, but it didn’t work.
“Meow.”
Mien went and lay down next to Jude, yawning, and Jude laughed awkwardly.
‘I can’t believe there is such a cute cat.’
Jude was surprised to see Mian for the first time.
It was so very cute and pretty.
But what surprised me even more was that none of the party cared about Mien.
Everyone in the party was looking at Raymond.
Maybe that’s why Mien looked a little lonely.
‘Let’s get along with me too.’
I spoke with that heart.
“Sir Mien, don’t you want to join the Rescue Knights?”
Minen nodded.
[Yes.]
“Why? It seems like a very meaningful knight squad.”
Jude was greatly impressed when he heard the ideology of the relief knights for the sick.
[…] …I hate being the same as everyone else.]
“Yes?”
[I want to do something different and special for the teacher.]
Jude realized that.
That it wasn’t just the other party that only saw Raymond.
It was the same with Meen.
Pretending not to be, he always hovered far away, but Mien was only looking at Raymond.
‘…Everyone is into it like this.’
Jude shook his head.
She had never seen people trust and follow someone so fervently.
‘Because you’re so wonderful. It’s not unreasonable for everyone to do this.’
Jude thought as he looked at Raymond who was far away in the bush.
Raymond was discussing something with Linden with a heavy face.
They must be discussing purifying the curse.
‘Lord Linden is respected. He’s a D-class healer, but he worked tirelessly to acquire such medical skills.’
Jude resolutely promised.
‘I will definitely stand there someday!’
Meanwhile, her teacher, Raymond, whom she admired, and her senior, Linden, were having this conversation.
“So I have to go back now! It’s dangerous!”
Linden desperately shouted with her eyes spinning.
“It’s not because I’m scared, it’s because everyone is worried about Your Highness! The hope and light of our Houston kingdom! What if something goes wrong!”
‘I’m scared!’ exclaimed Linden.
It was an obvious lie, but Raymond nodded.
Actually, Raymond was the scariest and I wanted to go back.
‘Ugh. When I came here, it was even more eerie. Did I just say that?’
They were already in the Loktar region. Now, if you go a little further, you will find your destination, Serrance Castle.
‘It’ll be all right when we get to Serrance Castle. Because there are reliable knights and soldiers.’
It was a procession of the crown prince and the crown princess, but of course, it wasn’t just the seven of them.
They planned to arrive at Serrance Castle and be escorted by knights and soldiers.
Knights and soldiers will protect them reassuringly.
‘Did I mention that the number of soldiers in Surance Castle is about 200?’
Originally, there were about 500 soldiers stationed there, but it is said that only about 200 remain today because as many as 300 soldiers died due to the ‘curse of death’ that came from the black darkness.
‘Still, 200 people will be enough for escort. The black darkness has already died and disappeared, so we only have to be careful of the remnants of the remaining monsters, and there is also a castle palace.’
Reassured, Raymond shook his head and thought of something else.
‘Actually, it’s more a matter of conciliating the hearts of the people of Loktar than the monsters.’
As can be seen from the large-scale uprising, the people of the southern region hated the Catal Kingdom.
In particular, the place where it was the most severe was the Loktar region.
Surprisingly, they are hoping for the return of Henatus, the black mage.
‘It’s difficult to figure out the true nature of the curse without the cooperation of the locals.’
At worst, they could have tried to sabotage what Raymond was trying to do.
‘So first, you have to win the hearts of the people here. Let’s play well.’
After making that promise, Raymond and his party started flying again.
‘Ah!’
“Aww!”
With the screams of Raymond and Linden, we finally arrived at Serrance Castle.
‘Ugh. I’m always scared no matter how many times I ride.’
It was the moment I got off the phone and let out a sigh.
“My lord, something is strange. Be careful.”
“huh?”
Unlike usual, Elmude was dumbfounded, his face hardened.
Raymond also hurriedly looked around.
There was something strange about the atmosphere.
‘Soldiers?’
Originally, the Katal Kingdom army, which should have been waiting in advance, was nowhere to be seen
.
“what?”
Raymond felt terrified.
It was like entering a dead castle.
“My lord, on the shutter phone again!”
Elmud shouted, but it was too late.
Dig!
An arrow flew!
“…!”
Elmud hurriedly hit the arrow with his sword.
But not one.
Dig! Pod! Pod!
The arrows flew like a hail!
‘What is it?’
Raymond froze stiff, and Rune and Ren stepped out.
“shield!”
“shield!”
Thanks to the sagging of the two layers of shields, no one was hurt, but a problem arose.
Wow!
One arrow was loaded with mana and flew!
“Bow Expert!”
Elmud cried out in surprise.
It means an archer who puts mana on his arrows!
“Stand behind my lord!”
Even if it wasn’t, it was.
However, the arrow did not aim at Raymond.
It flew into the Shutter phone behind me!
[Keuouk!]
“Shut phone!”
Shutter phone urgently tried to evade, but the arrows darted past the two left wings.
‘no!’
I took a quick look and luckily it wasn’t cut.
It was a wound that could be healed if treated, but the problem was now. The left wing was all injured, so flying seemed difficult.
‘this.’
Raymond’s face went pale.
The escape route to heaven was blocked.
Elmud gritted his teeth and shouted strongly.
“Stop the attack! We are not enemies!”
did you hear the call? The arrows stopped flying.
But hostilities did not stop.
People with weapons appeared from all over the place!
‘Aren’t they the Kingdom Army?’
Everyone made a surprised face.
The kingdom army went somewhere and a group of people dressed in promiscuous clothes appeared.
“What happened to the Kingdom Army?”
“Everybody ran away.”
“…!”
Everyone’s eyes widened.
What is it?
A man with a large bow came forward and said. It seemed that this man was the bow expert who sent the mana arrows earlier.
“A few days ago, the knights who led the soldiers went out on patrol outside the castle and were attacked by demons and all died. The rest of the soldiers watched and ran away in fear of the curse of death.”
It was an unexpected situation.
“…Then what about you?”
“We are vigilantes!”
They flashed piercing eyes.
“I am Stang, the vigilante. We gathered people to defend the Loktar region with our own strength.”
Christine stepped forward.
“All right. Anyway, these are Her Highness Crown Prince Raymond of the Houston Kingdom and Her Highness Crown Princess Jude of the Catal Kingdom. You should show an example to these people.”
“A crown princess?”
Vigilante Captain Stang twitched his eyebrows.
Then, a shocking thing happened.
I will aim the arrow!
“what!”
“We don’t need a rotten Kingdom of Katal. We will defend the Loktar region with our own strength.”
The party noticed one fact and swallowed their saliva.
These were not mere vigilantes.
‘It was the remnant of the uprising.’
Of course, not all of those who followed the uprising were caught. Because there were tens of thousands of them.
It was clear that they were the insurrectionary forces that were scattered without being captured at that time.
‘They hate the Katal Kingdom.’
Raymond hurried forward.
Fortunately, he was a foreigner and a healer.
I will be able to convince them.
Raymond made the most sublime and holy expression.
“You seem to have a misunderstanding. We’re here to help you. We plan to purify the curse of the black darkness that has fallen on the Loktar region.”
“You’re going to purify the curse?”
Stan twisted the corner of his mouth.
“Not required.”
“…!”
“If I sacrifice you, even the black darkness will release its anger.”
“…What nonsense is that?”
Raymond made an absurd face.
But Stang seemed serious.
He began to look more lifelike.
‘That bastard. Strange.’
For a moment, Raymond felt terrified.
There was a strange madness in Stang’s eyes.
Raymond swallowed.
‘Could that guy have suffered from the ‘Curse of Madness’?’
The Curse of Madness was one of the three curses placed on Loktar.
It is said that those who suffer from this curse lose their reason and suffer from auditory hallucinations.
