To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 201
Episode 201 Kingdom of Silia
I spent the day avoiding the rain, but even the next morning I couldn’t leave straight away.
It was because the ground was soaked due to heavy rain that lasted more than half a day.
The knight commander clicked his tongue as he looked at the muddy ground.
“It will be difficult to leave this afternoon.”
The vice-captain standing next to him smiled bitterly.
“I guess so, right? Even the horses will get tired.”
“What can I do? We have no choice but to wait a little while until the ground hardens.”
The road itself became thick because the ground was not well-trodden.
If you insist on forced marches, the horses will probably be exhausted in less than two days.
In the end, it was inevitable that we would have to camp again.
Unexpected circumstances left a lot of time left.
The Paladins took a break while polishing their weapons, and the Priests spent the day praying.
After a long time, I feel that a day like this is okay.
The dewy leaves of the grass and the dazzling blue sky made me feel more refreshed.
Ray was able to sleep in the warm sunlight.
* * *
After a good night’s sleep, the ground hardened somewhat.
It hadn’t been long since we started, but we wasted two days.
To that extent, the speed of the Seongguk party increased.
Iriel looked out the carriage window and said.
“It’s been pouring so much that it all seems like a lie.”
When the window frame of the carriage was opened, a cool breeze came into the carriage through the window.
No matter when you breathe in, the clean air moves gently.
“Doesn’t it feel better to move like this than to live with work?”
“Well… that’s right. At least it’s not stuffy.”
Enjoying the wind to the fullest, she says with a beautiful smile.
“Don’t you think you want to leave like this?”
At that question, Ray smiled.
Everyone thinks like this.
“Are you throwing everything away?”
“…”
No answer came back.
After living in the Holy Kingdom for a year, I got used to this kind of conversation with Iriel.
That she says nothing means a silent affirmation.
how do you know that
Iriel does not hesitate to deny anything that can be denied, perhaps because of the restrictions on dealing with God.
Maybe it’s her way of relieving stress.
I can’t help it because I can’t say what I want and I can’t do what I want.
When that happens, he scratches the itchy spot.
“Certainly, this god does too many things. Do this, do that. They say they are trying to give you some divine power in an invisible place and pull out a lot of mulberries.”
Blasphemy flowed very easily from the mouth of the saint.
They put a Silent spell inside the wagon so they wouldn’t be seen, but it was a very courageous move.
Iriel smiled at him.
She can’t chime in, but laughing along is the maximum deviation she can make.
While the two of them were joking and talking, the carriage slowly moved closer to the kingdom of Celia.
* * *
Arrived at the capital of Celia Kingdom.
The gorgeous castle, which gave a point with a blue roof on white bricks, came into view at a glance.
Boasting a visual that could only appear in a picture, a simple yet beautiful castle revealed itself.
“Hey, it’s worth seeing at any time.”
“The Kingdom of Celia is a country rich in funds.”
“I’m getting a lot of feelings.”
If you compare it with the castle country, there is a little difference in the size of the castle.
Seongguk’s Selonia Castle, which pursues frugality in its own way, is luxurious but somehow simple.
However, the Celia royal castle in front of me was running at the height of luxury.
The splendid decorations drawn on each blue roof and the strong pillars that support it can be seen as works of art.
If someone asks what the building materials used are, I think I could answer with money.
To that extent, the splendor of Celia’s royal castle was untouchable.
Several nobles who came to greet the people of the holy kingdom approached with smiles on their faces.
It could be seen that the prestige of the castle resonated so widely that even the nobility of their own country came out to the front of the castle gate.
“Meet two adults. Thank you for your hard work in coming a long way.”
“Thank you for your hospitality.”
“You must be tired, but first let me guide you where to stay.”
As he spoke, he looked at the servants standing next to him, and they began guiding them with familiar gestures.
The annex was located at the most important point, which could be called the main building of the castle.
Usually, an annex is not built in this anchae, which is close to the king’s residence.
There is a fear that the king’s life will be in danger.
However, the fact that the annex was built so close means that they are confident in their national power.
At the same time, it is an expression of intention to serve the VIP in the safest way.
‘The king is a person with a lot of distribution. Thinking of giving favor to other countries just by the location of the annex.’
In fact, those in the Holy Land also seem to be satisfied.
The knight commanders and high-ranking priests, including Ray and Iriel, were guided to the VIP room, and the rest of the soldiers were guided to the annex.
“But how exactly is the pilgrimage?”
When I asked before entering the room, Iriel explained about the pilgrimage.
“I’m going around town in a carriage.”
“…Is that all?”
“…Is that all?”
It may not be more powerful than you think.
Well, it seems that I can’t go around examining each and every one.
In terms of speed or performance, it would probably be more efficient to heal instantly with holy power.
she said, putting her index finger to her lips.
“Well… Most of the work will be done by the priests or priests, so there will be few of them.”
“So you’re saying it’s okay to just sleep in the carriage?”
“…to put it in the extreme, right?”
“Heh heh heh.”
A mischievous laugh came out.
If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be okay to send one instead of an adult?
It would be good to shorten the pilgrimage time to visit many countries in fact.
He sighed and shook his head, but did not completely let go of his mind.
Unexpected exceptions may occur.
At least if you’re sick, isn’t there something to do with it?
It is good to instantly recover with holy power, but it is most important to improve the fundamental problem.
In some cases, it was cured with divine power, but it recurred because the cause could not be resolved.
Something like gluten sensitivity is an example.
‘Well, it must have meant that adults were going around the village. If you think about it, the pilgrimage may simply be an action to give a good image of God.’
After a brief greeting, the two entered their respective rooms.
* * *
In the early evening of the next day, a banquet was held to celebrate the pilgrimage.
Since the castle itself was large, the size of the lobby was also significant.
Moreover, many nobles attended to see the saint’s face.
The lobby quickly grew lively as the king, royal aristocrats, and their offspring began to attend.
The attendant handed over the banquet dress, but Ray shook his hand and refused.
There was already a robe prepared by Iriel.
Inside the room, he changed into a robe and knocked on Iriel’s door.
Knock-knock-
Two dull sounds echoed, and she came out shortly after.
It shows that she is a beauty who is fascinated even at a glance with her blonde hair and sparkling eyes.
A long string flows down to the end of the hair, and the neckline stands out enough to not be excessive.
The fancy shoes that matched the dress that slightly revealed her legs gave the impression that each one was crafted by a famous master engraver.
To the extent that even those who are already accustomed to Aira exclaim in admiration.
“They say the clothes are wings.”
“If you’re going to compliment me, is there anything sweeter?”
“matches well.”
“Of course, who am I?”
Iriel puffed out his chest proudly.
Okay, let’s put aside the compliments in the future.
If you praise them, they will not know humility.
Rice tends to lower its head as it ripens, but the saintess, on the contrary, seems to have a higher nose as it ripens.
If she praised her a few more times, her nose would split the sky and reach Goddess Gaia.
The two headed to the lobby with several escort drivers.
The baron, who was in charge of introducing the nobles at the entrance, greeted them.
“Meet the adults. Thank you for the honor of introducing you both to everyone.”
“It’s an overstatement.”
After a moment of clearing his voice, he spoke loudly to the lobby.
“The saint and the saintess are eating at the banquet hall!”
I could feel the attention as I went to the lobby with the horse.
Admiration leaked out from everywhere as the two of them in well-dressed formal clothes were reflected from the lobby entrance.
Only the ears weren’t long, so I thought it might be a half-elf.
Ray and Iriel walked past them and greeted the king who was sitting in the most prestigious table.
“Meet His Majesty the King of Celia Kingdom.”
“Meet His Majesty the King of Celia Kingdom.”
“ha ha ha. These two people really fit together. yes nice to meet you This is a place to celebrate the pilgrimage, so please enjoy the banquet, regardless of the two of you.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
The example for the king ended with that.
After the greeting, nobles gathered here and there.
It is also true that for the first time in history, a saint and a saintess occurred at the same time.
In addition to that, he was belatedly chosen as a saint, and he was known as a war hero of the Holy Kingdom and defeated a necromancer, so it was inevitable that they would show interest.
“I have heard of heroic stories. You said you stopped the necromancer at the border. ha ha ha.”
“I heard that the Holy Son also made chess…”
The things they did in the past flowed from their mouths.
Among them, there were those who could not fit in and wandered around. They must have been nobles who had been pushed out of their positions or connections.
What I learned while talking was that the kingdom of Celia had a lot of interest in the Holy Kingdom.
The distance was close, but even if that wasn’t the reason, Celia’s independent information network was directed toward the Holy Kingdom.
why? If you ask me, he also doesn’t know.
Seongguk is currently suffering from financial difficulties and is severely damaged by frequent wars.
There was no reason for the Kingdom of Celia to show interest and turn the lacking information network this way.
Even so, they continue to show interest.
‘Perhaps there was someone in the Holy Kingdom who found something beneficial.’
Whether it was his strength or something else.
Ray glanced at the king’s seat.
‘If this was his intention, he must be a really scary person.’
