Doctor Player Chapter 371
Moreover, Orbia didn’t stop there and made a sharper guess.
“Isn’t the physical examination demonstration you showed us today also intended to be used to catch evidence of drug crimes?”
“…!”
Raymond couldn’t help but be surprised by that statement.
“How do you know?”
“Health checkup is an amazing treatment, but it is still difficult to implement on a large scale in the Free Cities Association. However, when I saw that they were promoting it, I assumed that there must be other hidden intentions.”
Orbia calmly continued.
“If you do a health checkup, you can obtain various health information of the patient, so aren’t you trying to collect evidence of drug use with the mysterious ability of medicine?”
It was correct.
In fact, health checkup was still a difficult project to implement in the Free Cities Association.
The health checkup will be able to proceed smoothly only after the Penin Healing Center takes root in the Free Cities Association.
However, the reason for this quick demonstration was to promote health checkups to secure evidence that those involved in drugs used drugs.
‘But to guess everything with fragmentary facts like this.’
Raymond thought Orbia was amazing.
Orbia noticed Raymond’s feelings and spoke calmly.
“If you admire it, you can reconsider marriage. My marriage proposal is valid.”
“…no that’s not it What are your suggestions anyway?”
Orbia looked at Raymond for a moment instead of answering.
“Your Highness, I will help you with your plans.”
“…!”
“I will personally promote health checkups extensively. To the extent that even the four monarchs Your Highness is aiming for are bewildered.”
Raymond made a surprised face.
It was a great offer.
If the Crimson Saintess publicizes the effectiveness of health checkups, everyone in the Free Cities Alliance will want to get a health checkup.
The four monarchs will of course also undergo medical examinations, and you can simply secure proof that they have been drugged.
“thank you. But why are you doing me such a favor?”
“If the four lords fall, it will benefit me too. However, there is one favor I would like to ask of Your Highness.”
At that, Raymond made a nervous face.
I was worried about what to ask.
Orbia shook her head.
“If you don’t like it, you can refuse. However, since it is for many people, it would be greatly appreciated if Your Highness listened to it.”
“What is it?”
“Please help us conquer the ancient ruins of Langhamt, which is the long-cherished wish of the Free Cities Alliance.”
“…!”
ancient ruins!
Raymond made a puzzled face at the unexpected story.
“Ancient ruins? Why all of a sudden?”
Asking him, a healer and royalty from a foreign country, to conquer the ancient ruins.
It was not a common request.
Orbia made a bitter face for a moment.
“It’s because the ancient ruins are holding the people of the Free Cities Alliance by the leash.”
It was even more incomprehensible.
Orbia began to explain.
“The Free Cities Southern Region suffers from chronic water shortages during each dry season. Especially in years when there is little rainfall, many people die.”
“But what does that have to do with ancient ruins?”
“Because those ancient ruins limit the amount of river flowing through the southern provinces. To be precise, there is a dam built in ancient times in the upper reaches of the river, but the water gate cannot be controlled, so even when there is a drought, the amount of water cannot be adjusted, so we are at a loss.”
Raymond understood the situation.
“There must be a device that controls the floodgates in those ancient ruins.”
“Yes, it is. So, I tried to conquer the ruins for a long time, but always failed in the last stage. In fact, I have given up on conquering the ruins now.”
Orbia sighed.
“I have tried many other methods, but all have not worked. You can’t destroy the dam, and it’s impossible to build a waterway in a completely different direction due to the terrain. That’s why we suffer helplessly whenever there is a drought.”
Raymond made a puzzled face.
“Why did the conquest of the ruins fail?”
With that level of ruins, the Free Cities Alliance would have tried to conquer it with all their might.
The mighty sword masters, the arc mages, must have stepped up, and no matter how difficult the ruins are, they have to be conquered to be normal?
“There are qualifications to challenge the last hurdle.”
“…Are you qualified?”
“They say that only noble souls recognized by your ruins can challenge the final gateway. That’s why I haven’t been able to conquer the gateway until now.”
“….”
“There is a warning that if an unqualified person breaks through the gate by force, the device inside will self-destruct, so I can’t even use my hands.”
It was an embarrassing story.
‘If that’s the case, I’m sure I won’t be able to do it, right?’
His noble appearance was just an image-making, but his true identity was a snob.
“…Were there not many saints in the Free Cities Association?”
“It is. But all were rejected by the ruins.”
“Then I….”
“No, Your Highness will be different.”
Orbia shook her head.
“Perhaps the ruins seem to see the true heart. So, even if they pretended to be for others on the outside, they must have rejected those who have a hypocritical heart.”
“….”
“But he is a hero that perfectly matches the word light that I met today. My eyesight is excellent. According to my judgment, I think your Highness can be sufficiently recognized as a ruin.”
Raymond broke out in a cold sweat.
This woman was seriously mistaken about something.
‘It’s a bummer to have eyes to see people! It’s completely ridiculous!’
But when he had come to eavesdrop, the disciples appeared from outside the balcony and nodded enthusiastically.
said Christine.
“surely…If you are a master, it is possible. Dangerous though. Haha, I can’t help it.”
“I will defeat the danger in the lord’s ruins! This Elmud will be of great help to Your Highness this time!”
“Meow! light! light!”
“Master, can I have a health checkup here? I’ll prepare a beef lunch box for you!”
“….”
The disciples seemed to be mistaken that Raymond had already made up his mind.
‘…Aren’t you fools?’
Raymond cleared his throat.
‘What should I do anyway?’
Even if you go to the ruins, you will be rejected.
Because he was the embodiment of a snob.
But that made me even more worried.
‘I’m going to be rejected anyway, so can’t I listen to your request? I just have to go, take the test, fail, and come back.’
If this really meant conquering the ruins, I would have refused without looking back.
Because it will be painful and dangerous.
However, since I was going to fail the exam before I even took the test due to my lack of qualifications, I felt like I should just do a favor and show condescension.
“great. But there are conditions. First, please keep my challenge to the ruins a secret.”
“Are you trying to practice the adult mindset of not letting your left hand know what your right hand is doing?”
“…It’s just that I don’t want to cause a fuss.”
If it is known that the ruins have not been recognized, it may be suspected that they have been diligently making images.
Fortunately, Orbia nodded calmly.
“All right. However, it is difficult to keep secrets even after conquering the ruins. Since we have solved the long-cherished wish of the Free Cities Association, we should let people know.”
That’s not going to happen anyway, so Raymond skipped it.
“And please cooperate in helping the people of the Free Cities Association with the second medicine. This is the condition I want.”
If the crimson saint helps, the stock price of medicine will rise in an instant.
Making money in the Free Cities Alliance will also be much easier.
Meanwhile, Orbia sent a strange look.
“It really is only for others. The only condition I wished for was a request for the patients and people of the Free Cities Association.”
“….”
“All right. I will do that. And the offer I made today is valid, so please let me know if you change your mind at any time.”
Says a marriage proposal.
Orbia smiled thickly with her red lips.
“Have a conversation…Her Highness is coveted even more. I will be waiting for you anytime.”
Raymond only smiled awkwardly.
Orbia’s enchanting eyes turned to him and he broke into a cold sweat.
Fortunately, Christine quickly grabbed Raymond’s arms and rescued him.
“My disciple?”
“You should go and see the patient!”
“yes yes! But I still haven’t eaten the beef in the banquet hall… …?”
“I’ll buy it for you!”
Anyway, that’s how the meeting with the crimson saint ended.
Raymond returned to the city of Gaebolg and moved on to his next move.
Now it was the turn of the drug lords.
* * *
First of all, the first priority was to publicize health checkups extensively.
As promised, Orbia stepped forward.
‘Health checkup, which detects and treats diseases before they occur, is truly a miracle cure. As a monarch and healer, I recommend it to anyone who wants to live a long and healthy life.’
It was a remark that radically pushed health checkups!
The waves were, of course, enormous.
Many people have become interested in health checkups.
In particular, this phrase dazzled people.
Unarmed longevity!
It is a dream that many people wished for as a whale.
So there was no one who wouldn’t be moved by that story.
The same goes for monarchs.
It is the monarchs with power who desire longevity intensely.
Everyone who could afford it wanted to receive Raymond’s health checkup, and countless inquiries rained down on Raymond.
‘Ugh… …If I could get all these people checked up, I would make a lot of money.’
Raymond was both delighted and heartbroken at the attention.
Health checkups are available to those who can afford them. So you can make a lot of profit.
He could make a lot of money if he could check everyone who came to the door now, but that was still impossible.
There was a shortage of medical personnel.
‘It will be possible after at least five years to properly implement a large-scale health checkup project.’
Currently, there are not enough manpower to treat the patients in front of us, so large-scale projects such as health checkups were of course unreasonable.
It will be possible only after medicine has settled down and trained numerous disciples.
Still, after the pennin treatment center expands further, health checkups will definitely become the goose that lays the golden egg.
Raymond comforted that he had sown seeds for the future, even if he didn’t have enough money right now.
‘The important thing now is something else.’
Raymond opened the application for health checkup with a meaningful face.
Numerous people applied, and among them, there were those who absolutely had to undergo a health checkup.
It was the four drug lords.
“Let’s go!”
Raymond moved right away.
He planned to quickly conduct health checks on drug lords to collect evidence that he had taken drugs and finish the job.
‘If you do this, you can get free trade rights! Then I will become a real super rich!’
super rich!
When I thought of that word, my motivation flared up.
