Doctor Player Chapter 373
Rina reflected on her discouraged self and made up her mind.
I will not be afraid of anyone like Raymond.
‘It’s not certain yet. So let’s collect information a little more carefully.’
After making that decision, Raina took up another business.
It was exactly what Raymond had requested.
-Oh, and the drug test results requested by Her Highness came out.
“…!”
Rina said in a meaningful voice.
-Looking at the test results, this will upset the Free Cities Association?
Raina simply told me the test results with a crystal ball.
As expected, all four monarchs tested positive for drug detection!
Even influential people under him came out with excellent training.
As Laina said, the Free City Alliance was really upset.
* * *
Even in the Free Cities Association, drugs were illegal.
There is no normal country on the continent where drugs are legal.
However, the reason drugs were able to run rampant in the Free Cities Alliance was because the lords of each city took the lead and turned a blind eye to drugs. But it is obviously illegal.
Therefore, no matter how much a monarch was, if it was revealed that he had taken drugs, the repercussions were not small.
“Now it is done. Now those lords are finished.”
Thorne made a happy face.
“thank you. How can you really secure evidence like this?”
Thorn thanked Raymond over and over again.
Raymond, on the other hand, was a little worried.
he said.
“I had the evidence, but…Will they bow their heads meekly?”
Raymond expected that the opposing lords would, of course, try to deny the wrongdoing.
Of course, since the evidence came out, the drug use itself could not be denied.
But that was about it.
The mere fact of taking drugs was not enough to bring them down.
‘Was the sentence for drug use in the Free Cities Association about 6 months? At least I’ll receive a much lighter punishment than that.’
Soren nodded, probably thinking the same thing.
“Of course it will come out that way. But it’s okay.”
“Is there a way?”
“Now we, the Gaeborgs, will have evidence of their involvement in drug trafficking. If it is revealed that they went beyond simple drug administration and tampered with the distribution, even if they are monarchs, they will be sentenced to death.”
Thorn’s eyes lit up.
“The reason the Gaebolgs have had to keep their eyes open to the drug crisis is because they can’t interfere in their city. However, since it has been confirmed that all the monarchs and influential people have taken drugs, there is a reason to intervene.”
“hmm…okay. But if they are cornered, can’t they raise an army to resist?”
It was a worry enough.
But Thorn shook his head as if he was okay.
“Unlike us Gaebolgs, these lords do not enjoy absolute power in each city. You need the consent of others to raise an army.”
Thorn continued his explanation.
“However, in each city there are rival families eager to take the place of the monarchs.
It will be a huge boon to those rival houses, and we won’t let the lords frolic. Rather, they will try to help us.”
Thorne continued.
“We, the Gaebolg family, have already finished reconciling with their rivals behind the scenes.”
Raymond understood.
In each city, they will cooperate with the competing families to tie the hands and feet of the monarchs.
Certainly, if you do that, you will be able to easily knock out the monarchs.
‘And beyond simply eradicating drugs, the Free Cities Alliance’s power structure will be reorganized around the Gaebolg family.’
Raymond discovered the Gaeborg family’s hidden goals.
Grand Duke Mishelt is going to use this opportunity to purify all the monarchs who rebelled against the Gaeborg family, and then appoint those who are friendly to them as monarchs.
‘…Well, if the Gaebolg family is kind to me, it’s good for me too.’
The Gaeborg family has already decided to push Raymond to spread medicine in the Free Cities Alliance.
So, as the Gaeborg family’s influence grew, so did Raymond’s lucrative future in the Free Cities Association.
“Then now the key is to secure proof that these monarchs actually distributed drugs.”
“Yes, I will definitely do it.”
Thorn made up his mind.
However, Raymond was not at ease until the end.
‘Will they easily uncover the evidence?’
Even if they rot, they are known as Junchi.
However, it seemed that he would not have let the evidence of drug distribution be easily discovered.
‘If Gaebolg fails to secure evidence, I’m finished. Are you going to turn four of the round table members into enemies?’
Raymond broke out in a cold sweat.
I felt uneasy, but now the die has been cast.
I have no choice but to trust Gae Bolg.
“Now they will pay for their wrongdoing.”
Listening to Thorn’s confident words, Raymond nodded.
Please I hope things work out that way.
After that, things progressed rapidly.
The Gaeborg family urgently convened a great citizens’ meeting.
civil convention.
The Free Cities Alliance was created with the banner that all cities and citizens are equal.
It is a banner that is not followed at all nowadays, but the founding ideology itself was like that anyway.
The Great Citizens’ Conference was a political event created under such an ideology, and was a meeting where citizens gathered together to decide their opinions when a major problem arose in the Free City Alliance.
Of course, this has also changed significantly in recent years.
In the past, if a really large number of citizens gathered and decided on issues by majority vote, now only the monarch and influential nobles who ‘represent’ the citizens gather and have a meeting.
Usually 10 people in big cities. About three other small cities participated as representatives.
Since the Free City Alliance consisted of 7 large cities and dozens of smaller cities, a large group of close to 200 people gathered at the conference hall.
“Suddenly, a citizens’ meeting? I don’t know what this is.”
“I mean.”
The influential people who hastily gathered from each city showed puzzled faces.
“It must have been a big deal since it was convened by the Gaebolg family.”
“Isn’t there a hint of an invasion from the Iron Empire?”
“But there is nothing wrong with the border….”
It was a face that everyone couldn’t guess.
After some time, Thorn appeared on the podium.
Archduke Mishelt did not have the stamina to move long distances, so he, a small duke, acted as a substitute.
“This is Sorn, the representative of the Gaebolg family. I would like to express my gratitude to all citizens who attended. The von Gaebolg family has recently come to the conclusion of a startling fact that has led them to convene this meeting.”
“What do you mean by surprise?”
“It is true that there is a terrible disease circulating in this association of free cities.”
“…!”
People made surprised faces.
“You mean there is an epidemic?”
“But are there any rumors in our city?”
“There was no news that the plague was spreading among us, either?”
Everyone tilted their heads.
Soorn looked at them and said in a meaningful voice.
“This is probably the first time you’ve heard of it. This disease is not a disease that is easily revealed on the surface. But it’s definitely a disease that exists. It has been eating away at the Free Cities Association for a very long time.”
“What disease is it?”
“That will be explained by the benefactor who uncovered this disease. Come out, Your Highness.”
A character appeared.
The people gathered in the conference hall were involuntarily amazed.
A pretty young man who felt trust and dignity appeared.
Especially impressive were the eyes.
Her shining eyes seemed to be filled with a heart for others.
Now people called the nickname of the man who became famous in the Free Cities Association.
“The saint of poverty!”
“The Crown Prince of Light!”
Light Raymond from the Peninsula Kingdom!
He took the podium at the Citizens’ Congress.
Raymond looked around for a moment. It was just a simple gesture, but people unknowingly admired it.
I felt an inexplicable grace from him.
Looking at the reactions of those people, Raymond said,
‘Ugh. there are a lot of people These people are the highest in the Free Cities Association? You’ll be a VIP guest later, so you shouldn’t make mistakes in front of them.’
I was nervous!
In fact, Raymond had no intention of taking the podium. I was just going to show the evidence and stay quiet behind the scenes.
However, Thorn gave useless consideration.
‘The greatest contributor to this work is Your Highness. So, shouldn’t you step forward and become the main character?’
no i don’t need it
I was about to refuse, but when I thought about it, it seemed like it wouldn’t be bad to become a hero.
His reputation will be used to make money.
He came up to the podium with that kind of heart, but as expected, his timid nature did not change even when he was promoted to position.
I was nervous again when I received the attention of the highest people in the free city association.
Especially the four lords.
Those who took the drug didn’t look good, probably because they instinctively felt something unpleasant.
But only my heart is tense.
Raymond was no longer the Raymond of the past.
‘I will show my best and trustworthy appearance today and make the people gathered today the biggest VIPs!’
Raymond suppressed his tension and opened his mouth proudly.
When he opened his mouth, all kinds of skills, such as the prince of light, the heart of steel doctor’s charismatic speech, gave him strength.
“As you all know, I have implemented a health screening program to promote the health of the citizens of the Free Cities Association. However, as a result of the inspection, I found a surprising fact, so I consulted with Grand Duke Soren to arrange this event.”
“What result?”
“Look.”
Raymond used a magic tool to display a screen on the podium.
“Everyone will remember that I took blood. And I cooperated with the Mage Tower to analyze the bad ingredients inherent in blood, and I found surprising results.”
Everyone made puzzled faces.
“What the hell did you end up with?”
“A substance that should not exist in the human body has been detected in the blood.”
“…!”
People made surprised faces.
“Look.”
Raymond manipulated the magic tool and flipped the screen.
I saw the blue alchemical substance contained in the stick.
“Originally, this alchemical substance is blue, but it turns red when it comes into contact with a substance with a certain special ingredient.”
Raymond continued.
“A total of 73 of the 500 people I tested had this reaction in their blood.”
This means that substances that should not exist were detected in the blood of 73 people.
“What is that substance?”
Those who did not know the circumstances asked anxiously.
On the other hand, the faces of those who took drugs, including the four monarchs, hardened.
I definitely realized that something was wrong.
“for a moment…!”
But it was too late.
Raymond declared heavily.
