Doctor Player Chapter 349
The Free City Alliance is also the place that conducts the most active ocean trade with foreign continents. In particular, the Free City Alliance was the only one with the navigation technology to reach Mu, the farthest eastern continent.
Naturally, the cutting edge of continental culture begins with the Free Cities Alliance.
The Peninsula Kingdom was immediately affected by such a trend.
‘I’m trying to get something trendy in the Free Cities Alliance. But what if hair loss cures and anti-wrinkle drugs become popular in the Free Cities Alliance?’
The result was obvious.
It was clear that the nobles of the Peninsula Kingdom would spend at least a billion dollars to save the two products.
‘At that time, it would be useless even if Marquis Rodrigo or Archduke Gideon blocked it.’
He said it with such a strong heart.
“I don’t need the Marquis’ help. I’ll go my own way, so don’t worry about it anymore.”
“….”
Marquis Rodrigo was silent for a moment.
I could feel the air around me getting colder.
But Raymond was not discouraged.
Come to think of it, there was no reason to be discouraged.
Eventually, Marquis Rodrigo rose from his seat.
“I understand Your Highness’ high intentions. Then let’s go back and see.”
However, at the last moment, Marquis Rodrigo said something unreasonable.
“By the way, the Free Cities Association. I don’t know if things will work out the way you want.”
some strange story.
“If things don’t go well, call me.”
Marquis Rodrigo grinned.
“As I said earlier, I want to be the strength of my nephew, His Highness.”
* * *
Raymond frowned.
‘What’s the plan?’
Anyway, the die is cast.
First of all, I had to enter the Free Cities Association.
Fortunately, Rodin, who leads Raymond’s ‘Medical Angels’, is a member of the Free Cities Alliance.
“Leave it to me! The Free Cities Association is my front yard.”
Rodin said confidently.
In fact, he is a successful merchant in trade with the Free Cities Alliance.
It was not difficult at all to advance into the Free City Alliance because the personal connections he had accumulated at that time were intact.
“Then, I will report the product first. It is a new product that did not exist before, so it needs to be approved.”
“You won’t get rejected, will you?”
“There is no such thing as a formal procedure. The evil magic tools coming from the outer continent of Jormund also pass through.”
Raymond nodded.
“Yes, then please proceed quickly. I don’t have time.”
There is no time.
I borrowed 2 million penas at super high interest rate and the interest was accruing in real time.
I had to make money selling hair loss treatments as soon as possible.
Rodin contacted the Free Cities Association.
After the sale was approved, Raymond planned to use Rodin’s connections to invite aristocrats and rich people to give a briefing session on the product himself.
‘Once it goes on sale, it will quickly become a sensation.’
Raymond was so sure.
Since then, Raymond has devoted himself to patient care.
How long after that?
Rodin, who contacted the Free Cities Alliance, hurriedly ran.
“Your Highness!”
“Rodin? Why?”
Raymond’s eyes widened.
Something didn’t look good on Rodin’s face.
Rodin clenched his fists and said.
“Now, the Free Cities Association refused to license the product!”
* * *
It was an unexpected situation.
“Rejection…? Is this common?”
“No, this is something I have never experienced while trading with the Free Cities Alliance. Why the hell?”
Rodin stuttered in embarrassment.
“Did you ever hear the reason?”
“It’s not verified… …No explanation. Dark magic tools from the outer continent of Jormund can be sold without any problems.”
Rodin continued.
“Something is strange. Even if you ask officials with ties, they just say they can’t help it because it’s an order from the top.”
“The boss?”
For a moment, Raymond felt uncertain.
At that time, Princess Sylvene, who was by her side, frowned.
“It looks like the Marquis Rodrigo had a hand.”
“yes?”
Raymond made a puzzled face.
“What do you mean? It’s a free city association, but you’re the Marquis of Rodrigo?”
Princess Sylvene took out a cigar and asked as if she was annoyed.
“Your Highness, do you know how Marquis Rodrigo built up such a force?”
“just…I only know that I have succeeded as a merchant because I have a great prize.”
“Yes. Sangjae. But how did he achieve such success? In fact, Marquis Rodrigo is not a merchant who seems capable, right?”
Raymond nodded at that.
Marquis Rodrigo is an excellent merchant. I couldn’t imagine it well.
“Marquis Rodrigo has ties to the Round Table Committee.”
“…What about the Round Table Committee?”
“It’s a federation of lords who rule over the four free city federations.”
The Free Cities Alliance is made up of seven large cities and their surrounding satellite cities.
The Round Table Council was an assembly of monarchs who ruled over the seven cities.
‘Actually, the cities of the Free Cities Alliance were free cities in the past, but they became monarchies.’
The reason why the name of the Free Cities Association has ‘freedom’ is because in the past they elected their leaders by voting.
Of course, even now, it seems that leaders are elected by voting, but voting is only a formality. The outcome of the election was always fixed.
Members of the seven monarchic families were always elected as city lords, and they governed the free city federation.
‘By the way, Marquis Rodrigo has a connection with their meeting, the Round Table Committee?’
Rodin made a puzzled face.
“Ha but…It’s the first time I’ve heard such a story… ….”
“It is not a story known even to ordinary merchants. However, it is a story that is secretly known among high-ranking nobles.”
Princess Sylvene nodded.
“I don’t know the exact reason, but the Round Table Committee strongly supports Marquis Rodrigo.”
“Then what about nobles following Marquis Rodrigo?”
“Yes, those who have fallen out of favor with Marquis Rodrigo cannot do business properly in the Free Cities Association. Conversely, if you are favored by Marquis Rodrigo, you can trade much more easily. Using that power, Marquis Rodrigo became the head of the aristocratic faction.”
Princess Sylvene let out a sigh.
“Anyway, if Marquis Rodrigo comes out like that, it will be difficult to do business in the Free Cities Federation.”
“…Do you know why the Round Table Committee supports Marquis Rodrigo?”
“I don’t know. There seems to be some secret deal going on… …That’s probably no one knows except the Marquis Rodrigo himself.”
Raymond clenched his fists.
It was the worst.
‘Damn it. What do we do?’
In the end, the thought crossed my mind that I should bow my head to the Marquis Rodrigo.
But I shook my head.
‘no. There must be some way. Is there any way to appease the Round Table Committee?’
For a moment, an idea passed through Raymond’s mind.
‘I heard that the head of the Grand Duchy of Gaebolg is suffering from a serious illness. Would you mind if I healed him?’
Grand Duke Gaeborg!
It was an incredibly famous family.
It was one of the three great families that ruled the continent, along with the Royal Family of Birnhalt of the Iron Empire and the royal family of Saint Rosette, the head of the Crusader Empire.
The head of the Grand Duke of Gaeborg always served as the head of the Round Table Committee.
If you treat the head of such a place, there will be a way out. No, what is the only way out? wings will fly
‘But how can I cure the head of the Grand Duchess of Gaebolg?’
Although he gained a lot of fame, it was within the Crusader Empire.
And foreigners tended to slightly ignore the Crusader Empire.
It was because of the perception that the development of the Free Cities Alliance was behind the Iron Empire.
‘Moreover, she’s the Grand Duke of Gaebolg. That famous.’
The family head of the Grand Duke of Gaeborg is treated in a similar position to the Emperor of the Crusader Empire, the Emperor of the Iron Empire, and the Holy King of the Holy Land.
But how can I go and get treatment?
You will be beaten at the door right away.
‘Damn it, I can’t stay still. Even now, interest is accruing in real time.’
Raymond tore his hair out.
‘Ahhh. I’ll just borrow it from Lady Rose. Why did you make such a super-high loan?’
I regret it, but it’s already too late.
Interest was piling up like a snowdrift, and he was bankrupt at this rate.
‘Ugh. If I could sell my soul, I would.’
It was the moment I thought so.
Elmud approached cautiously.
“The lord’s guest has arrived.”
“…Who are you?”
Raymond asked helplessly.
The situation was so hopeless that I didn’t feel like meeting anyone.
However, the moment Elmud said his name, Raymond jumped up from his seat.
“This is Lady Rose of Healer Ron.”
A creditor who is scarier than the devil has visited.
* * *
‘Why did you come?’
Raymond’s heart sank.
‘Could it be to collect debts?’
That probability was the highest.
Right now, Raymond owed a huge debt to Lady Rose.
Because it was so low, he paid almost no interest, and he hadn’t even paid off the principal.
It was in a situation where it was enough to sell it to a shrimp fishing boat.
Moreover, there was a high possibility that they came to ask if they could pay off their debts since they were going through difficulties in the Peninsula Kingdom.
‘…Exactly how much did you owe to Lady Rose so far? 7 million pennies… …over 8 million pennies?’
His total debt was approximately a little over ten million pence.
Among them, the debt owed to Lady Rose amounted to about seven to eight million pennies.
It was a staggering amount to even imagine.
‘…Why am I working endlessly, but only debt keeps piling up?’
I wanted to cry.
‘It’s a debt that will be repaid soon if the hair loss treatment is successful.’
Raymond swallowed a tear.
No, in fact, even if the hair loss treatment was successful, it was not a debt that could be repaid soon.
Still, I thought I would be able to pay off everything if the products I planned to start with hair loss treatment were successful, but I was in a situation where I met an enormous difficulty because of Rodrigo Marquis.
It was clear that he would go bankrupt rather than pay off his debt.
“Lady Rose is waiting in the waiting room at the treatment center.”
Raymond stood in front of the waiting room door with a nervous face.
I was afraid to face the devil waiting inside my car.
‘calm down. They said there is a hole through which you can survive even if you are captured by the devil.’
The moment you take a breath and open the door.
The door inside opened first.
lovely pink hair.
Yo Yohan Odd Eye.
Lady Rose grinned.
“I came because I wanted to see you, VVVIP customer prince♥♥♥”
It was a voice scarier than the devil.
