Doctor Player Chapter 364
‘Because even on Earth, people treated that way in the past. So, from the point of view of the earth, is it just modern medicine? Maybe at a medieval level. Well, it’s not something I’m concerned about right now.’
It’s an iron empire.
It was a story from a very distant place.
‘My goal in life is to sweep all the money on the continent through medicine, but when will I be able to go to the Iron Empire? Will I be able to go?’
His goal in life was to become the continent’s best healer and sweep the continent’s money.
But realistically, the iron empire was too far away.
It was overwhelming just to become the best healer of the Crusader Alliance Empire right away and become the richest person in the Crusader Alliance Empire.
‘…Someday, I’ll have to sweep the Iron Empire’s money, but that’s for later.’
Yes, now the Crusader Federation Empire… …No, becoming the richest man in the Peninsula Kingdom came first.
‘To do that, we need to solve the drug case this time and get free trade rights. Let’s think of a way.’
However, I couldn’t come up with an easy way, so after struggling for a while, a person came to me.
It was the merchant Rodin who came with him.
“I have something to tell you.”
“What is it?”
Raymond was very nervous.
Currently, Rodin was preparing to do business in the Free Cities Association.
‘Isn’t there a problem?’
Fortunately, that didn’t seem to be the case.
Rodin brought up an unexpected business.
“You said you got an invitation?”
“Each of the four cities has sent invitations to Your Highness.”
Rodin brought out a hefty invitation.
It was an invitation from influential people in various cities.
“Why me?”
“Your Highness is now a celebrity in the Free Cities Alliance.”
“ah.”
Raymond understood the meaning.
He was no longer just a stranger.
He saved Archduke Mishelt and became a celebrity in the Free Cities Alliance. So, I was trying to make friends with him.
“If you’re thinking of doing business later, wouldn’t it be nice to build a relationship with them?”
“Yes, it would be nice to have a network in the Free Cities Association. But it’s not urgent, so you can take care of this slowly.”
Raymond nodded.
Networking is good, but first of all, handling the drug case was a priority.
‘My reputation will go up if I contribute to solving the drug problem. I just need to build a network in earnest then.’
If he succeeds in solving the drug case, his reputation and prestige in the Free Cities Alliance will increase even further.
Such a reputation equals power in the social world.
You will be able to build a network in a more advantageous position.
‘The problem is to solve the drug problem. How to draw the blood of monarchs! I can’t even bring a vampire.’
As I was about to tear my hair out, an idea came to my mind.
‘Could I possibly use this invitation?’
Raymond checked the faces of the people who sent the invitations.
They were various powerful people in various cities.
‘There are also powerful people in the city where the monarchs in question are. Should I make friends with them first and create an opportunity to contact the monarchs?’
But Raymond shook his head.
It was not simply a matter of contacting the monarchs.
blood had to be drawn.
blood.
‘…After contact, use a skill to collect blood like lightning?’
For reference, among the skills available in the market, there was also a ‘blood sampling’ skill. I didn’t buy it because it was of no use to me.
I didn’t know if I could use that skill to draw blood like lightning like an assassin.
‘…Then what do you do? I’m going to be arrested for murdering the monarch! Aww. How the hell do you draw the blood of a healthy person? The blood of the city lord!’
Raymond sighed.
It seemed that I should stop using the people who sent the invitations.
“Please tell me you will accept all invitations later.”
“Yes, I will. however….”
Rodin held out one more invitation.
“Your Highness, I think you should take a look at this invitation.”
Raymond made a puzzled face.
It was an invitation with a dark red border.
At first glance, it is an invitation that gives off a sense of great elegance. It was just paper, but it seemed to radiate an aura.
Raymond, noticing that it was sent by an unusual person, asked.
“Who sent the invitation?”
Rodin said cautiously.
“This is an invitation from the Byzantine duchy.”
Raymond tilted his head.
“Are you the Duke of Byzantine?”
It was an unfamiliar family name.
‘Because I don’t know all the Free Cities Alliance nobles. Are you an aristocrat wearing a duke’s mask? I think I’ve heard it somewhere.’
While wondering, Rodin said.
“One of the members of the Round Table, and the monarch of one of the seven major cities of the Free Cities Confederation. The head of the house invited Her Highness.”
It was a bigger family than he thought, so Raymond asked with a puzzled face.
“But why me?”
“I’m inviting you not as a monarch, but as a healer.”
It was even more incomprehensible.
“Are you the same healer?”
“Because the head of the Byzantine duchy is also a healer like Her Highness.”
At those words, Raymond vaguely remembered something.
Come to think of it, I think I’ve heard the name of the Duke of Byzantine.
“no way?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Rodin nodded.
“The family head of the Byzantine duchy is the ‘Crimson Saint’.”
* * *
Raymond was taken aback.
The Crimson Saint!
It was a very famous one.
This is a name that no one knows about as a healer.
He was one of only three Ex-class healers on the continent.
‘Healer counted among three fingers on the continent along with the saint of brilliance.’
Raymond swallowed.
The best healer on the continent was the King of the Holy Kingdom in name and reality.
After that, the Saint of Brightness and the Saint of Crimson are fighting.
The people of the Crusader Alliance considered the Saint of Radiance better than the Saint of Crimson, while the people of the Free Cities Alliance considered the Saint of Crimson better, but it was unclear who was the better healer.
Both are high in the sky.
It didn’t make much sense to share the upper hand among those skies.
What is certain is that the Crimson Saint is the one standing at the top of the existing healers.
“Why is the crimson saint me?”
Raymond asked nervously.
Ever since he was still a lowly apprentice, the fame of the crimson saint had come in a lot.
For the healers, the crimson saint was like the far-off sky.
It was so high that even healers couldn’t even dare to look at it.
Such a great existence was the Crimson Saint.
“I don’t know exactly. He said he just wanted to fellowship as a healer… ….”
Rodin said with a hard face.
“I recommend not going.”
“yes? Why?”
“Because the possibility of good intentions is small.”
“…!”
Raymond’s face hardened.
“Do you have any reason to think so?”
“The Crimson Saint only treats patients for her own political gain. He was born with strong holy power, but he is a monarch to the core. He is also a tyrant, not an ordinary monarch.”
tyrant.
It was a significant word.
In fact, she was famous for ruling the city with fear and oppression, contrary to her nickname of saint.
‘It’s not that he exploits the people, but he said he was merciless to his subordinate nobles and retainers. He is leading the city with an iron fist and no mercy.’
Raymond recalled the rumors he had heard.
For reference, the ‘crimson’ of ‘The Crimson Saint’ was a nickname given to her because of the blood she shed when she inherited the throne.
At that time, it is said that the river in the city was stained red with the blood of the people she purged.
“It is clear that this invitation has something in mind. Maybe they’re trying to dampen Your Highness’ spirit with a therapeutic showdown.”
Raymond agreed.
‘Because I was in trouble because I treated Archduke Mishelt.’
The crimson saintess refused the treatment of Archduke Mishelt for political gain.
Of course, he did not openly refuse treatment, but refused treatment because of his own insufficiency.
However, a healer from another country flew in and saved Archduke Mishelt with a strange, unheard-of treatment, so he lost face.
So, it could be that they were trying to discourage Raymond by inviting him to treat the patient.
Indeed, the message came to mind.
[A sudden quest occurs with an unexpected invitation!]
[Tell the Crimson Saint of the greatness of medicine!]
(Medicine Quest)
Medical Grade: Four Mess

Quest Description: The Crimson Saint requested a therapeutic exchange! As the master of medicine, please teach me a few tricks!
Clear condition: Admiration of the Crimson Saint Reward
: Bonus level up x 2 Skill Points 200 Bonuses
: Crimson Saint’s
Admiration! Are you kidding me?’
Raymond frowned.
And the specials were also strange.
What did you mean by ‘crimson saint’ as a reward?
Contextually, the crimson saint seemed to be a reward, but I couldn’t guess what exactly that meant.
‘Anyway, I don’t want to compete with an Ex-class healer.’
Raymond made a troubled face.
Ex-class healer.
He was a different being from the S-class healers below.
The criterion for dividing A-class healers and S-class healers was the presence or absence of special heals.
If you can handle 3 special heals, you are called a double S class healer, and if you can handle 5 special heals, you are called a triple S class healer.
On the other hand, an Ex-class healer had to deal with 7 specials and meet one more standard.
The ability to ‘play’ right away.
‘Ex-class healers can regenerate cells that have already died.’
It was an amazing story.
It means that cells that have already died due to damage, necrosis, etc. can be revived and treated.
For example, it was possible to revive already dead nerve cells to move a disabled leg, or to regenerate the optic nerve to restore sight.
This was something that even medicine could not do.
‘If I had been a crimson saint, I might have been able to cure Archduke Mishelt’s liver failure.’
Raymond thought deeply.
Of course, Ex-class heels weren’t omnipotent either.
There were two limitations.
First is time.
As time passes after cell damage, the effect of regeneration rapidly decreases. After a certain amount of time, it doesn’t work at all.
The second was the degree of damage.
If the degree of damage is severe, there is a limit to regeneration.
However, even considering those limitations, it was a tremendous force.
This is because medicine cannot revive already dead cells.
‘That said, it’s hard to say that medicine is unconditionally inferior to Ex-class healers. Medicine has strengths in treatment that requires a complex scientific approach.’
In other words, it could be said that Ex-class healing and medicine have different strengths.
‘Um, can’t we use the Crimson Saint to solve the drug problem?’
