Doctor Player Chapter 32
However, I couldn’t read any other traces of emotion.
Oden just quietly listened to people’s stories and drank a thick drink.
“To think there is such a person in the Houston royal family. I was startled.”
“But he said he was an illegitimate son and not a prince?”
“It doesn’t matter if you are an illegitimate child or not. He’s incomparably better than the other real princes who came and messed around before.”
“that’s right! He is a real prince and Nabal, and there is no one more worthy of a prince than he is.”
People spoke without hesitation about stories that anyone else would be shocked to hear.
“Anyway, I enjoy living thanks to him these days.”
“that’s right. Sir Raymond is our hope.”
“It would be great if we had someone like Sir Raymond lead our Bay Area, rather than the boar we have now as custodian.”
People who had been talking for a long time raised their glasses.
“Cheers everyone in the name of Sir Raymond!”
“Cheers!”
People shouted Raymond’s name joyfully and raised their glasses.
“Hey brothers. The brothers are Mohash? Aren’t you going to toast?”
“Long live Raymond.”
“Raymond? dare?”
“Long live Raymond.”
It was the Duke of Galman who had accidentally toasted with him.
“…Stop going out.”
“Your Highness.”
Every table was talking about something similar, so there was nothing more to hear.
‘This is why the atmosphere in the Bay Area has changed.’
Galman knew then.
Why was the air in the Bay Area subtly different?
It was because of Raymond.
His presence has a warming effect on the poor here in the Bay Area.
‘I thought it was fortunate to just hold on, but I can’t believe I was doing so well.’
No, can I express what Raymond did with the expression that I am just good at it?
It was so amazing that I couldn’t stop admiring it.
“Raymond’s reputation is high.”
Galman carefully checked Oden’s reaction.
“….”
Auden was silent for a moment. Then he opened his mouth.
“Anyway, that’s just the therapist’s job.”
Galman slightly furrowed his eyebrows.
It felt like an overly cold answer.
‘Aren’t you the one who doesn’t know how amazing what Raymond is doing?’
Of course, that’s just the therapist’s job.
But has anyone ever done that in the Bay Area?
‘There is no one.’
What can I say? It felt like the opponent was giving Raymond a harsher opinion on purpose.
Feeling a bit perverted, Galman answered.
“Like Your Highness said, it’s because only the healer is doing a greater job than anyone else.”
“….”
“As your great Highness, shouldn’t you congratulate the servant who is doing a great job?”
subject. I’m talking about Raymond.
Having received an honorary knighthood, Raymond could now be called a subject of King Auden.
He meant to stop by Raymond’s clinic, but Auden didn’t answer.
‘Does Her Highness really not regard Raymond as her bloodline?’
Galman shook his head inwardly.
I talked this far, but there was no response, so I was confused.
‘But looking at how Raymond looked the first time I brought him, I don’t think that’s the case.’
At the time, Oden had a face heavier than anyone else in the world as he watched Raymond die.
But that’s already over 15 years.
Perhaps, as time goes by, Raymond’s existence in Oden’s heart may disappear.
“It’s getting late, so let’s go back.”
“…Your Highness.”
It was the moment to take that step.
Suddenly, an urgent scream was heard in the alley.
“Buy and live…suck!
“…!”
Hearing the scream, Auden frowned.
“Looks like a robber. Or the more heinous ones.”
A robber or something worse. Here in the Bay Area, they were the ones who could appear at any time.
“Are you going out? Dangerous.”
“who?”
“….”
Galman kept his mouth shut.
As long as the bad guy in that alley didn’t become a sword master, he couldn’t threaten Oden.
‘I’m going to accompany the Royal Knights.’
In the end, Galman couldn’t stop Oden.
In the first place, if you care about security, the two of you shouldn’t have come out like this.
“You are dangerous, so stay here. Take care of it right away.”
“…’Cause I’m weak Excuse me.”
As Oden entered the alley, the sight of a wooden dog caught his eye.
Three men were trying to rape a girl who looked less than 15 years old!
“Hey bro. Don’t interfere and go away.”
“Or do you want to have some fun with your brother?”
Oden’s eyes sank when he saw him giggling.
He’s not worth saving.
His hand flashed.
Dig!
Blood spurted out and the guy’s neck as he was about to take off his pants jumped.
“Huh!”
“article?!”
Their complexions turned pale.
“Wait a minute! If you move, this bitch’s life is saved!”
They urgently tried to take the girl hostage.
But at that moment, another guy’s neck was punctured.
“Kyaaak! Help me!”
The girl ran to Oden screaming frantically at the rampant blood.
“To go back.”
Like the king of knights, Oden focused on protecting the girl.
It was the moment when the only remaining villain made a sword attack to prevent him from approaching the girl.
An unexpected miracle has happened!
Dig!
The girl who ran into Oden’s side suddenly stabbed him with a dagger.
‘assassin?’
Oden was taken aback by the unexpected attack.
It was a sharp attack, as if the trembling appearance just now was a lie. The street was right next to it, and the direction was an angle that was difficult for Oden to react to.
Even the dagger was filled with thick mana.
It was clear that he was a top-notch assassin.
‘It must have been a trap targeting me from the beginning.’
Oden judged the situation in a brief moment.
Perhaps the scoundrel was also one of them, so he threw off his clumsy appearance and rushed at Oden with intense momentum.
Perhaps because he was a knight rather than an assassin, the momentum to attack him wasn’t usually strong.
Moreover, the ambush didn’t end there.
I guess I was waiting after killing the presence, but the memory flew in from the building next to the alley.
From the ambush of a top-notch assassin to the memorization of a knight’s charge.
It couldn’t have been an immediate situation, but Oden smiled.
‘You looked at me funny.’
It was the moment I thought so.
Oden’s sword flashed again.
“Aagh!”
The wrist of the girl who stabbed the dagger with Oden’s quicksword was cut off!
The sword did not stop there.
Oden’s body twisted exquisitely, and memorization cut through the air in vain.
And he slashed the scoundrels rushing in from the front, from top to bottom.
“A monster….”
The robber, unable to react properly and facing death, collapsed with a single moan.
“profit!”
The girl attempted an ambush again with her left arm, but her efforts were lightly dismissed.
Fuck!
Oden pushed and kicked the girl in the stomach. There was a sound like drums exploding, and the girl vomited blood and fell limp on the floor.
Now was the moment to lightly deal with the last remaining assassin.
Fishy!
Suddenly, fog rose and covered the entire alley in the blink of an eye.
It was smoke screen magic!
‘They’re making meaningless tricks.’
Oden furrowed his forehead slightly.
The opponent’s intention was obvious. After obstructing the view with a smoke screen, they were going to make an ambush somehow, but it was a meaningless ploy.
Dig!
The girl and the assassin jumped in.
Oden quietly sensed their presence and grasped their movements.
‘It’s over.’
It was the moment when he was about to stab his sword exactly where he could incapacitate the opponent, since he shouldn’t kill to pry out the background.
An unexpected situation occurred.
“Cool.”
It was a sudden burst of cough!
Although he was holding his breath, it was because his airway was stimulated by the minute particles entering. It was not just a smoke screen, but a mixture of ingredients that stimulated the airways.
‘A smoke screen like this on purpose after finding out I’m suffering from coughing sickness?’
It could have been.
Oden hurriedly held back his cough and thrust out his sword.
Fu-wook!
With a sharp swing, the sword decapitated the assassin and pierced the girl’s chest with precision.
Because of the unexpected cough, it was a situation that could have been very dangerous if it went wrong, so there was no time to capture it alive.
He killed the enemy, but Oden hardened his complexion.
‘this.’
I had a wound on my wrist.
It happened when I momentarily lost my posture due to coughing.
It was a small wound close to an abrasion, but the problem was not the extent of the wound.
“It’s poison.”
The area around the wound was turning blue.
poison was evident. It’s also deadly poison.
“majesty! Are you okay?!”
Just then, Galman ran in from outside the alley. He looked at the mess around him and his complexion went white.
“How did this happen?!”
“They were assassins. I guess I’ll have to check more to find out who sent it. Anyway, that’s not important right now, we have to go back to the castle right away.”
“Your Highness, no way?”
Seeing Oden’s pale complexion, Galman widened his eyes.
Oden is poisoned!
A great event had taken place.
“this! Are you okay?”
“I think it will be okay if I get Count Helien’s heel.”
Fortunately, Oden is a sword master.
He had much stronger physical strength than ordinary people, so he could overcome even extreme poison if he was healed by Count Helien, a triple A-class healer.
‘The problem is time.’
Auden bit his lip.
It was unusual to see his injured arm turn blue.
‘If I don’t treat it right away, this arm might have to be amputated.’
I didn’t think I would die from just this kind of poison. However, the problem was the arm where the necrosis started.
It was clear that if he wasn’t treated right away, he would suffer major damage to his arm tissue. In the worst case, there was a possibility that it would have to be cut.
‘I must go to the royal castle as soon as possible. The problem is time. There is a distance to the royal castle.’
But then Galman spoke urgently.
“majesty! Your arm seems to be in a bad condition, but I think you should get first aid nearby first.”
“It would be nice to get treatment, but isn’t there a place here in the Bay Area that deserves it?”
“No, there is one.”
Hearing those words, a healer popped up in Oden’s mind.
Come to think of it, there was a treatment center here in the Bay Area as well.
“Penin Healer. Raymond’s healing center is around here.”
* * *
Knock. Knock.
“Yes, I am leaving.”
Raymond opened the door and looked surprised at the person who appeared.
There were two of them, and one of them looked bad at first glance.
Because of the magic, Raymond couldn’t recognize the identities of the two, and as usual, he spoke kindly with a face that was as friendly as possible to the patient.
“Are you okay? Please come inside.”
