Doctor Player Chapter 97
“Oh yeah! Your Excellency Marquis!”
“They say that their poor son owes them money. Thank you.”
“Oh no!”
“No. It’s not just a thank you.”
Marquis Aris took Raymond’s hand.
“My son said that in a letter. Thanks to you, I think I can finally break down the wall of fear. You made your ugly son a man. Thank you so much.”
It was a voice dripping with love for a son.
‘You mustn’t know that Elmud swore allegiance to me, right?’
It seem to be like that. Seeing you ask this.
“By the way, I heard that your son has a dream he wants to achieve. Have you heard of it?”
Raymond’s heart sank.
It sounds like you’re talking about the oath of allegiance you made back then!
“Oh no.”
‘help me. I don’t want to die from Marquis Aris’s sword!’
Anxiety welled up.
Then a new character appeared.
It was a gray-haired middle-aged man with cold eyes, dressed in solid armor.
I was able to notice the identity of the scar across the eye.
‘Huh. Duke of Life!’
Duke of Life!
He was the greatest aristocrat in the South!
He is the commander of the regular army in the south of the kingdom, and he is engaged in countless conflicts with the Drotons in the border area.
The real military leader.
More importantly,
‘there are only two sword masters in Houston Kingdom along with His Highness.’
Raymond swallowed.
And more importantly, he is the maternal aunt of Seytil, his nemesis.
To be precise, Seytil’s mother, the 4th Queen, was a close cousin of the Duke of Leif.
‘Couldn’t you be harming yourself with Seytil?’
Fortunately, that didn’t happen.
Let alone harm, Duke Leif didn’t even look at Raymond.
“His Highness the King?”
“You will be back soon. Oh, there you are.”
King Auden has arrived with some escort knights.
With this, the King Oden Life, the Duke of Aris, and the Earl of Doton.
Four of the five strongest knights in the kingdom gathered together.
“Start the ritual right now.”
“Yes, I will see you.”
Marquis Aris stepped forward.
However, Oden shook his head and said something unexpected.
“No, I will go through this victory ceremony by myself.”
“…!”
“Is it necessary for several people to rush to catch that saber tiger?”
Count Doton, the vice-captain of the Royal Knights, made a troubled face.
“That’s a bit. In the Gir Mountains, there are many monsters besides saber tigers.”
“so?”
“It could be dangerous….”
“danger? who?”
Everyone shut up.
Oden is a sword master.
Again, you have to worry about monsters.
Then came an unexpected answer.
“but. If you tell us, you won’t need our help.”
It was the Marquis of Aris.
Far from stopping them, they agreed!
“Oh no. Captain?”
Earl Dotton was taken aback, but the Duke of Leif took a step further and left.
“All right. Then, trusting Your Highness, I will return now. I’m running out of time due to preparations for departure. I would appreciate it if you could tell me in advance if this is the case from now on. then.”
Duke Leif even gave Auden a slight bruise (?).
Raymond opened his mouth as he watched the atmosphere unfold.
‘Can I do that?’
Earl Dotton, the only normal person in this position (?), stopped Oden in a sweat.
“Your Highness. Please think again. danger…I won’t. However, there will be many inconveniences if you go alone. There is no one to lift the burden.”
“Why is there no one to lift the burden?”
“yes?”
King Auden looked at Raymond.
“Baron Pennin can listen.”
“…yes?”
“Because you might get injured. Healer must follow.”
King Auden made a thunderous declaration in a nonchalant tone.
“This victory ceremony will be held by me and the two Baron Pennins. so that you know.”
* * *
‘Why me?!’
Raymond screamed.
‘How dangerous the Gir Mountains are!’
It’s called the monster’s lair.
It’s a place I don’t want to set foot in, but I have to go up alone with Oden?
Even Oden didn’t seem to have any intention of protecting him.
“Follow me.”
He just left those words and went ahead.
Like a sword master, speed was no joke.
It seems to be running lightly, but the distance is gone in an instant.
Oden, who had been ahead for a while, stopped and said with a frown.
“Slow. Don’t delay, come quickly.”
“…!”
“I won’t wait.”
Raymond bit his lip at the sound of the costume scratching.
‘What the hell are you thinking? Are you trying to fuck me on purpose?’
It wasn’t just a thought.
If you fall alone in this monster-filled Gir Mountains, you could die.
‘Should I just go back? He’s a great sword master, so he’ll take care of it.’
I heard that urge, but it didn’t work.
More than anything, Raymond didn’t want to look ugly in front of Oden.
It was because of pride.
Pride that does not want to show even the slightest ugly side to Oden, the cause of his misfortune.
‘damn.’
Then a message popped up.
[Healer’s mission is being carried out!]
[‘Heart of Steel’ is manifested!]
Also, this message came to mind.
[The target of protection made an unreasonable demand ‘truth’ to you!]
[We confirm that the target to be protected is ‘the truth’!]
[The ‘truth countermeasure’ is activated!]
[An unexpected quest occurs!]
[Take care of the truth ! Show me!]
(Ninjutsu Quest)
Priority: Small Doctor Level
Difficulty: Medium
Quest Description: The protected target did something wrong to you for no reason! Unjust truth must be rejected! Show the truth!
Clear conditions: Give Jinsang a shot
Clear reward: Bonus level up x 2 Skill points 30
Bonuses: Jinsang’s ‘?’
Raymond smiled.
Show Oden what he saw.
My favorite quest so far.
‘Okay, let’s see who wins. I’ll use this opportunity to give you a shot!’
Gritting his teeth, he began to ‘cope’ with the ‘truth’.
He decided not to get caught up in Auden’s disrespectful intentions.
In other words, I gave up on catching up and took a leisurely step.
‘Getting caught up in the truth’s intentions is what sewage does! I go at my own pace!’
Then, after a while, Oden approached Raymond again.
“What are you doing here like a laggard? Please follow me quickly.”
It was a soft voice, as always.
But instead of dying, Raymond looked straight at Oden.
Is it because ‘truth countermeasures’ are emerging?
I was able to treat it as if I were dealing with the general ‘truth’.
“I can’t.”
“…!”
“I am a healer. You have an obligation to reserve your stamina in case of an emergency. If you want my help as a healer, please be considerate of me.”
A heavy silence fell for a moment.
Auden looked straight at Raymond without saying anything.
Normally, I would have trembled and lowered my head, but is it because the ‘Heart of Steel’ and ‘True Countermeasures’ have a synergistic effect?
Raymond was just dumb, so he got Oden’s attention.
‘I’m not saying anything wrong.’
“If it is inconvenient, it would be better to have a ‘Knight healer’ who can keep pace with Her Majesty’s pace.”
‘If you twist it, quit it. I was just going down.”
However, Auden’s reaction was strange.
You could say it was disrespectful, but I didn’t take offense.
On the contrary, rather than being offended, his eyes were ‘distinct’.
‘what? Why are you looking at me like that?’
The moment he tilted his head, Oden said.
“Please follow me on your own.”
Poof!
Then it disappeared in the future.
“anyway.”
Raymond frowned.
Is it because of the usual accumulated emotions? I kept feeling twisted and twisted.
‘I really hate it. Unlucky.’
After that, a strange climb followed.
Oden couldn’t see if he had gone too far forward, and Raymond did or didn’t, and went up at his own pace.
‘Since he’s a sword master, he’ll come back on his own if he gets hurt.’
Raymond pursed his lips.
It was then.
A heartbreaking thing happened!
Krrr.
A monster has appeared!
A mole about 1 meter in size.
It was a ‘giant mole’, a C-class monster.
‘Huh! What should I do?’
The thing I was worried about happened.
I had to fight.
‘damn. What am I like as a healer!’
It was because of all this.
The teeth were gritted.
Raymond took out a mace, an iron club for self-defense exclusive to healers.
[Crisis situation!]
[The self-defense skill ‘Healer’s self-defense’ is manifested!]
[Stats]
Stamina: 37 → 47
Sense: 33 → 38
‘Is this the end? Are there any additional stat increases?’
Raymond tilted his head when no further message came to mind.
The achievement ‘Dwarf who defeated the giant’ should appear, but there has been no news.
‘Isn’t he weaker than me by any chance?’
In an instant, such a thought came to my mind.
The effect of the achievement ‘Dwarf who defeated a giant’ is manifested when you meet an opponent stronger than yourself.
In fact, it didn’t feel particularly threatening.
‘I’ve become stronger than a C-class monster?’
Raymond made a puzzled face.
For reference, C-class monsters are known to have powers comparable to ‘official knights’.
‘Whatever? Should I send a distress signal?’
In principle, it was correct to send a rescue signal to Oden.
But I didn’t really want to.
I don’t know if it’s unavoidable.
I didn’t want to ask Auden for help.
‘Let’s try it! I’m the weak and weak Raymond! I can deal with anyone who looks weaker than me! Come on!’
Raymond pointed the iron club at him.
A sharp tension flows.
At the moment when the mole rushes in!
Dig!
A thin beam of light flew and pierced the mole’s head.
It was the symbol of the Sword Master, the Aura Blade!
“What are you doing?”
Oden asked with a frown.
“Why didn’t you back down?”
Raymond let out a laugh.
‘I’m not asking because you’re worried, right?’
Of course not.
I replied stupidly.
“Then what? There is an enemy, but I have to fight even if I don’t like it.”
“It is reckless. Giant moles are slow enough monsters to escape.”
is it?
I didn’t know.
If Auden’s words were true, it might have been better to avoid unnecessary risks. he’s a healer
Still, I didn’t want to lose, so I said.
“Hasn’t the spirit of Houston always emphasized courageous struggle? I didn’t want to run away without a fight. If you compete and find that you are overweight, then I think it is right to retreat.”
courageous struggle.
It was a maxim of the Houston royal family left by the founding king.
It was just an answer because there was an error, but Oden’s reaction was strange again.
He muttered like he was lost in thought.
“It is a courageous struggle.”
After that, he looked at Raymond in silence for a while.
‘What is it? Why are you like that again?’
