To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 155
Episode 155 No Life King, Rich
As expected, they intervened in the conversation while paying attention.
“Babon Kingdom Count Herman is meeting a noble saint.”
“Eloin, the Marquess of the Kingdom of Greyman, sees the two saints, John.”
At the appearance of the two, the nobles of the Holy Land, who were watching them, hardened their expressions coldly.
Like a lie, the atmosphere in the banquet hall cooled.
Seongguk is not very reluctant to visit them.
It’s because I don’t like the way that he moved that heavy butt after the situation was all sorted out.
It hadn’t been long since the war had ended, but the relationship between the neighboring countries and the Holy Kingdom had grown farther away.
It has widened to the extent that it can happen diplomatically as well as offsets including various trades.
Of course, there must be a heart that did not want to throw away the power that it had accumulated for no reason, but the current situation can be said that they abandoned the Seongguk first.
Ray and Iriel greeted them.
“Nice to meet you.”
“Thank you very much for coming a long way.”
At first glance, Iriel’s words had thorns.
You pretended not to know during the war, but what did you come all the way here to see? seemed to ask.
They said nothing while wiping away cold sweat.
“ha ha ha. Thank you for your hospitality.”
Excluding themselves and the servants, everyone in this place was the aristocrats of the Seongguk side, so the tension was natural.
It’s a situation where your neck may fly off if you get stuck.
Even though they were under pressure to notice them pouring out, he brought up the business.
“…If you don’t mind the two adults… I have something to tell you from the Baybon Kingdom.”
Eloin looked nervously at Herman, who brought up the story first.
If it goes well here, it will be a great progress, but if it goes wrong, you will only be criticized and kicked out.
Ray frowned slightly.
Judging by what he is saying, he seems to be asking himself for help, but I don’t know what he’s really trying to do.
When Seongguk fought for the country’s life and death and asked for help, they crossed the river and made a sutra.
At this level, there is nothing to say even if you cut off the head of the lion who came for diplomatic reasons.
“I’ll listen and see.”
When his permission was given, Herman lowered his head and continued.
“Currently, the Baybon Kingdom is in financial trouble due to the sudden suspension of all trade with the Holy Kingdom. I wonder if the relationship between the two kingdoms can be restored to the way it was before…”
Before Herman finished speaking, the nobility of the Holy Kingdom, who couldn’t stand it, stepped out.
“Shouldn’t you shut up your filthy snout!”
“You’re rightly saying it’s a pierced mouth! Get away immediately!”
I would accept greetings as I came from a long way to the Holy Land, but this clearly crossed the line.
What the hell have they been doing in the meantime, requesting to attend the banquet of the holy kingdom and even asking the saints directly!
Herman and Eloin’s heads naturally shrank at the fierce reaction of many nobles.
It is impossible not to mention one thing.
Going on like this, due to serious financial difficulties, the Kingdom of Baybon and the Kingdom of Gleiman had no choice but to raise taxes or fees for infrastructure facilities.
Who knew that Seongguk would survive like a weed when he knew that the kingdom would perish?
It was an obvious miscalculation.
In their eyes, they were traitors who ruthlessly rejected even when Seongguk reached out to help.
Even if you change your position and think about it, the current behavior makes no sense.
Ray looked at the two blankly, then opened his mouth.
“It’s strange.”
“…what do you mean…”
Hermann asked, and he furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
“Babon Kingdom has decided that it is in danger of financial difficulties, so didn’t you come to ask us for help?”
“…It is as you say.”
“When the Holy Kingdom is in danger, we don’t see it at all, but when we find ourselves in danger, what are we doing to help the kingdom that comes to us?”
At Ray’s words, the nobles’ expressions became more ferocious.
In a situation where even the saint is saying that, it is safe to assume that things are already wrong.
In fact, even the Holy Kingdom is not completely without damage.
At the point when trade between each other was not smooth, the Seongguk was already suffering from financial difficulties.
I’m just solving it in a different way.
That’s why Eclay and Iriel have been so focused on their work that they’ve turned thin over the past few days.
Thinking that all of that tiredness was caused by the two kingdoms in front of her eyes, Iriel’s eyes weren’t good either.
“I also agree with the Holy Son. I am sorry to the two of you who have come a long way, but I would like you to leave this matter here.”
The complexion of Hermann and Eloin darkened at the sight of her apparent refusal.
Somehow, this agenda has to be done.
This was especially true in the case of the Baybon Kingdom, where most of the revenue came from trade.
“I’m sorry, but please think about it again…”
“I said I’d like you to stop here.”
They were talking about pulling out the overbearing divine power, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Now was the time to take a step back and observe the situation.
“…All right.”
“I hope you enjoy the banquet.”
The eyes of the nobles, who were not good for them, were focused on them.
It is safe to say that those eyes were a clear sign of celebration.
Herman and Eloin left the banquet hall with their shoulders drooping weakly.
The expressions of the three, including Griia, were also not good.
They also lost many precious people due to the war, and as much as they suffered, they were offended by their rude behavior.
“You are shameless.”
“I have nothing to say. Hahaha…”
“To come and ask you to solve your financial difficulties…”
To be honest, if you look at what you asked for, there’s nothing you won’t be able to listen to.
Let’s just restore the old trade relationship. It’s just saying.
However, there was a problem in the process.
As the saying goes, something comes only when there is something going.
It is not according to etiquette to ask for the new pope’s inauguration after betraying first.
Besides, it was impossible to come to two adults at a banquet hall and talk about the main topic without formally requesting an audience.
Of course, they knew that they were in an urgent situation, but for the nobles, that was an act that went too far.
In other countries, if not, they are noble enough to be called the representatives of God in the Holy Land.
Iriel knocked on the teacup and drew attention.
“Now, don’t worry about that, let’s all enjoy the banquet. The rest will be taken care of by His Holiness the Pope.”
The aristocrats laughed at her as she secretly pushed things to be done to the Pope.
It’s definitely a loss if you don’t enjoy the banquet held after a long time.
The banquet hall was very luxurious, befitting a holy country that serves Gaia, the goddess of abundance.
The wine with a deep flavor and a clean aftertaste, and the food that went smoothly without being greasy deserved to be called top-notch.
The taste of the wine, which is slightly different from modern times, stimulated Ray’s taste buds.
I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve had a drink.
Didn’t you drink it after you had a drink at the baptism?
It’s a feeling that I haven’t felt in a long time.
Iriel took a sip of wine and started talking.
“I thought it would never end… but somehow the war ended.”
“I don’t think it’s completely over yet, but I mean.”
“Whoop whoop. Yes. Only the remnants.”
At her words, Ray shook his head.
“There is also a necromancer.”
“okay.”
Necromancers can’t exert their power in a state where Proxia is destroyed anyway.
He was kept alive only to obtain information, so it didn’t matter if he was sentenced to death now.
There was one thing they hadn’t even thought of.
It means that they are not the only remaining forces in Proxia.
* * *
The young man quietly opened his eyes from his seat.
It was difficult to open my eyes because the bloody tears had become scabs.
It seems that he died once.
His identity was Proxia’s magical control rod that Ray thought he had killed.
Looking down at his well-recovered body, he robbed himself of his seat and stood up.
The surroundings were absolutely desolate.
The plague had returned and soldiers’ corpses were scattered all over the place, and only the skeletons of Proxia, which had maintained its mighty power, remained.
“You have failed. And he died.”
How long ago was the last time you experienced death?
I never thought that there would be someone who could kill him here anymore.
It seems difficult to dream of the destruction of the continent, as the force known as Proxia has disappeared in an instant.
Rather, his mind was filled with the last encounter with him.
The hold magic he showed at the end was informing us of a clear fact.
‘Does that mean he had a higher circle than me?’
Hold magic generally only works on low circles.
It is common sense that circles above or equal to oneself cannot hold.
If you think about it in that respect, you can see that he has reached the level of the 8th circle or higher.
‘A rich man with a higher circle than me…’ He
obviously died, but he can regain his life again because he is a rich called No Life King.
His mana was so pure that even Ray didn’t know about it.
At a glance, you wouldn’t even know it was a black magician.
He had placed the life vessel, the source of his life, elsewhere.
That’s why it doesn’t matter how much the body, which is nothing more than a shell, is broken.
But I didn’t expect to die so quickly.
It was only a moment.
It seemed that the pain from when his heart was pierced and the blade of the sword entered his side was still there.
A sense of collapse is pushed over by the overwhelming force, but a sense of longing arises.
Originally, the tribe of wizards was like that.
The attitude the wizards showed towards the Lord was an expression of respect for their own strength.
He was not a wizard, but a lich, but as a being who uses magic, he still had a heart for dealing with the teeth of a higher circle than himself.
As a result, he was very happy when he entered the road.
Thinking of finally reigning at the top of all wizards, every day was fun beyond measure.
The force called Proxia also obeyed that self.
Loading is like that.
The majesty of the 7th circle was so great that it could eat up the magic tower in an instant.
It was to the extent that Proxia entrusted power to him as a Lord without hesitation.
As such, the admiration he now had for Ray was great.
The fact that there is someone who went ahead of him in the lonely 7th circle made his heart beat for the first time in a long time.
After removing the blood clots from his eyes and tidying up his clothes, he looked somewhere far away.
“I will visit you from now on.”
