To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 16

Episode 16 Saint (3)

Ray’s expression as he was eating was just a surprise.

The meat has no fishy taste, and the sweetness of the vegetables comes out every time you chew.

Besides, what kind of food is it?

More than twenty dishes are decorated and put on the table, but the distance is so far that it is difficult to bring a fork.

I didn’t say exclamation out of my mouth, but I was admiring it on the inside.

The Viscount was examining Ray’s complexion as Ray was screaming with happiness as he tasted various foods.

Viscount Gade was relieved to see his expression, which seemed happy even though it changed from moment to moment.

‘Fortunately, it seems to suit my taste.’

He was worried about what would happen if the food didn’t suit his taste, and then he was relieved.

Ray, who had a full stomach, said while wiping his mouth with a napkin.

“It was really good.”

“I’m glad you were satisfied.”

“I can’t even remember how long it’s been since I ate such delicious food. ha ha ha.”

He, who was only 15 years old, patted his stomach and said it well.

Viscount Hana didn’t care too much.

Rather, it even made me embarrassed.

“I am grateful to you for taking good care of me. But…”

Viscount Gade looked at Ray for a moment.

As Ray also faced Viscount Gade, the Viscount opened his mouth.

“There is something I want to ask, but if you don’t mind being rude…”

“It’s okay. I also got something delicious like this… Ask me. If I know anything, I’ll let you know.

“Hmm…”

Viscount Gade hardened his expression.

What he was about to say was a sensitive matter, so it was hard to ask carelessly.

He spoke cautiously to Ray.

“Why aren’t you in Seongguk…?”

“Seongguk? Why all of a sudden?”

Chloe also froze at Viscount Gade’s question.

It was because she had never even dreamed that the subject of Seongguk, which is the most sensitive of all, would come up in front of the saint.

Viscount Hana Gade was quietly waiting for Ray’s answer.

Ray was also a little taken aback as he had not expected such a question to come up.

‘Are you asking why the saint is not in the holy kingdom and is in a place like this? It’s because I’m not a saint in the first place.’

Of course, he didn’t think he was a saint, but if people in this world see him, he’s just a saint who treats himself a little differently.

‘What is Seongguk? Home is the most comfortable.’

At that moment, the words rose to his throat, but Ray, who chewed them down with food, found a substitute for them.

“Isn’t Seongguk not even aware of my existence?”

However, at his words, Viscount Gade said as if he was talking about something.

“The Holy Kingdom has already arrived at the kingdom to take the Holy Son…?”

“yes?”

“yes?”

Ray was surprised and the viscount was also surprised.

He was surprised at the part where Seongguk came to find him, and Viscount Gade was surprised by Ray, who knew nothing even though he was a saint.

Ray said as if to confirm again.

“Seongguk is coming to find me? why!”

“Even if you ask me for that…”

“Then what do I do!”

“Should I go to the Holy Kingdom…?”

A single word from the viscount made Ray’s mind drained.

One word lingered in his mind.

‘I have to go to the Holy Kingdom.’

‘I have to go to the Holy Kingdom.’

What kind of sound is this banging on a baton suddenly while eating?

It felt like the food that was going through well was clogged in my throat.

Several thoughts popped into Ray’s head in an instant.

‘If Seongguk finds me, it’s really a matter of time. Since they’re crazy about their faith, there’s no guarantee that they won’t be found just because they hide well.’

But if you don’t hide, you will be discovered sooner.

‘But how can Seongguk find me? How do you know me?’

In the first place, why was he looking for himself in the Holy Land instead of being a saint?

When Ray’s thoughts reached this point, he truly began to wonder.

It was a thought that he could do because he did not know that being a saint or a saint was derived from a revelation from God.

He couldn’t come up with an answer even after thinking about it, so he decided to ask Viscount Gade and opened his mouth.

Viscount Gade, who was examining each and every one of Ray’s reactions, said as soon as Ray’s mouth moved.

“Ask me anything.”

“That… How do you find a saint in the Holy Land? How do you know where it is?”

It couldn’t have been a strange question for the saint to ask.

Viscount Hana Gade answered without hesitation.

“The Seongguk is a nation that receives God’s grace. Therefore, whenever a saint or a saintess appears, God announces it through a revelation.”

“Are you there? Are you saying that God communicates with humans?”

Viscount Gade had nothing to say when the saint asked him this.

He, a saint, asks as if he had never had a conversation with God, but what can he say?

I can only tell you what I know.

“Perhaps a revelation is not necessarily a conversation with God. Whether signs appear or dreams come true…”

Ray got goosebumps when he heard the words.

Isn’t this like a modern GPS!

If they run away, a divine revelation will surely remind them of their location.

You can’t run away, you can’t hide.

All I could do was to be quietly captured and dedicate my life to the Holy Kingdom.

An ordinary person would not hesitate to live a life of enjoying all the glory as a saint, but Ray had a different idea.

‘I’ve spent my whole life working, but what kind of bullshit is this to work for the kingdom like a slave!’

He wanted to live the life he wanted.

I play when I want to play, and if I see someone who is sick, I treat them.

He intended to live in the town he wanted to live in without being swayed by conflict.

However, as Seongguk came to find him and God joined in to ruin his plans for the future, there was no hope of living like that.

I had never seen it before, but it was the moment when I felt bad about God.

* * *

Lawson, who guided Ray to the viscount’s house, was lost in thought while leaving the information guild.

“I’m sure that child would be a saint… I don’t know how he raised the dead…”

It’s been over ten years since he worked as an information merchant.

Having spent so much time tinkering with information, I had never seen such a proud aristocrat kneel before an ordinary child.

In addition, the time when Seongguk comes to find the saint fits very well.

These two things alone were not enough to claim that he was a saint.

However, since the guild leader rejected this claim, he had no choice but to sell the information independently.

Heading further inside through the alleyways crowded with black marketers, he entered the old store without hesitation.

When I opened the old, creaking wooden door, there was a handsome looking middle-aged man sitting there.

Lawson sat down facing the middle-aged man and got to the point.

“Whoa… I have some helpful information. Will you buy it?”

The middle-aged man laughed at his words.

“You must be in a hurry, don’t you? Seeing you come all the way here.”

“Because it handles all the information even if you don’t set the price well.”

“Hmm… let’s listen first. Information about what?”

When the middle-aged man stroked his beard and said, Lawson hardened his expression.

“saint.”

“saint?”

When he asked curiously, Lawson again tried to bargain.

“When I saw it, it was quite a bit of money. I came out after being bullied by the guild leader.”

The middle-aged man pours Lawson a drink, as if to tell him more.

Since the store itself doubled as a bar, he always poured a drink for us when we talked about something so important.

Knowing that fact, Lawson smiled.

“It looks quite appetizing, doesn’t it?”

“It’s not bad information to hear. The amount offered by Seongguk is by no means small, so the information about the saint is definitely first-rate.”

“It’s not a first class thing.”

Heide, the shop owner, also stiffened at his words with a smile.

There was only one piece of information related to the saint that reached the highest level.

“Did you find out who the saint is?”

“Perhaps you are sure?”

“…”

Heid thought for a moment, then said.

“But didn’t you say that your information was rejected by the guild leader? Is the information reliable?”

“I am convinced. If you don’t believe me, you don’t have to do business. There are a few other places that can sell it besides here.”

He looked straight into Hayd’s eyes as he spoke.

Heid, who had been looking through those eyes, smiled as if he had lost and shook his head.

“Heh heh heh. I guess I’m not lying. That’s good. We buy that information from our store.”

“price is?”

The most important thing for information merchants is the importance of information, but ultimately the price of information.

It was the basics of intelligence not to deal with any confidential information if it did not make money.

The information he brought was money-making information.

In addition, the information about the saint who is emerging the most right now is true by itself, so if it is verified, an enormous amount could be paid.

Among such information, do you get information about the identity of the saint?

If that happens, even if you sell the information to the Holy Land, you can extract three times the original price.

In addition, his shop will be prioritized over the giant information guild that controls the information of the current situation.

Of course, only for information about the saint.

Lawson is a veteran informant who is well aware of such facts.

More than 10 years since he entered the information business, he developed an eye to see and searched for information that could make money.

Although he was thrown into the industry alone, he was able to work until now because he caught the eye of the guild with one of his innate skills.

So even if he didn’t know about others, he couldn’t cheat on the price of information.

Heide gulped down his drink and set it down on the table.

Tak-

“That’s great. Since you chose our store, I should be sincere. Fifteen in platinum.”

Lawson grinned as he looked at Heide, whose face was twitching slightly as if he was barely passing his acceptance line.

He also gulped down his drink.

“Keukkeuk. It’s good. At this point, I should build a nice house and stop doing this.”

Lawson said as he poured himself a drink.

“Then write the contract. Do it the way you always do.”

“Heh heh heh. I see.”

* * *

After checking the contract, Lawson read it carefully one by one and finally nodded.

Relieved that he would have received five platinum coins as an advance payment, he opened his mouth.

“Confirmed. Then I will give you the information.”

“I was waiting for you. tell me.”

Heyde urged Lawson, feeling like a child snatching a snack.

“The saint was a child. As soon as he saw the kid, Viscount Gade fell to his knees.”

“Is that Viscount Gade?”

Like the guild leader, Heide narrowed his eyes and asked as if questioning.

“okay. I must have seen it with my own eyes.”

“Hmm… keep talking.”

“When the Viscount knelt down and called him a saint, the little boy denied that he was a saint. I didn’t know either at first. But Viscount Gade said this.”

Hayd waited for Lawson’s words.

He drank a glass of wine as if he was thirsty and continued.

“They said, ‘If the person who saved me from the dead is not a saint, what is it?”

Lawson stopped talking here.

It was to see Haye’s reaction.

If the guild leader’s reaction continued, he would despair.

No one will believe me even if I speak, so vases may fly.

Contrary to his worries, however, Heide was thinking as he touched his beard with a serious expression.

“Hmm… It’s not easy to believe… but the time when Seongguk comes to the kingdom to find the saint is too exquisite.”

“yes!”

Perhaps it was because he had finally found someone who believed in his words, Lawson’s expression looked perfect.

“What does a saint look like?”

Whether he was happy or sad, Haye didn’t seem interested.

“He had incredibly white hair and blue eyes. The eyes looked so deep that they didn’t look like those of a child. The clothes seem to be worn with old leather padding…”

“Wait a minute. If your hair is white, then it’s white. What’s so incredibly white?”

“Um…”

Lawson pondered for a moment on what to say to Heid’s question.

“So… white is white… is it really pure white? I didn’t know that humans could have hair that color.”

“There aren’t many people with white hair, but there aren’t too many that you can’t see them, right?

“no. They are so distinct that you can tell just by looking at them. It’s white, but it’s not white.”

“…I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Anyway, you can tell right away when you see it.”

“Aren’t you the type of person who lives well enough to wear cheap leather clothes?”

“yes. I’ve never seen them in town, so they probably live on the outskirts of town or outside…” ”

Hmm… Well, I guess we can find them on our own. I guess I didn’t know about it because I only investigated in the village until now.”

“Probably not living in ‘their’ forest.”

Hayd nodded at Lawson’s words.

“Because if I lived there, I wouldn’t have been alive until now.”

“Then, if you look elsewhere except for the forest, you will find it quickly. I’ve got the advance payment, so check it out… and when it’s confirmed, I’ll come back to pick it up later.”

“Heh heh heh. It’s been a while since I’ve been asking for some exciting information.”

“What kind of exciting information is… he must have been excited because it was information that could make money.”

Lawson rose from his seat as he spoke, put the bag containing the platinum coins into his chest and left the door.

Hayd shouted at his back.

“Sometimes, come for a drink!”

“Think about it!”

Ki-Ik-

They were close friends for a long time, but they couldn’t meet normally because they were walking their separate ways.

Lawson is the way of the guild, and Hay is the way of the black trader.

The same, but walking different paths, they did not meet unless they had to buy and sell information.

Because they knew it made the relationship last longer.

Feeling dissatisfied with that, Lawson grinned as he left the door at his friend’s words.

“Now I have to stop doing this… it’s time to stop.”
