To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 368

Episode 368 Dark Elf Village (2)

In the Holy Land, a ceremony to commemorate Iriel continued.

I climbed the stairs and carefully folded the saintess’ clothes on the highest wooden altar.

From the nobles to the high priests and priests under his command, everyone attended and bowed their heads.

Eclay held the ceremony with a bitter expression.

“From now on, we will begin the memorial service for Saint Iriel.”

As soon as the words were finished, the high priests and priests raised their divine power.

Then, beautiful pale yellow lights lit up the inside of the temple.

The halo of light pours down all over the temple, making it reminiscent of a flower garden.

Despite the spectacular view, no one raised their heads.

As if to decorate the end, Eclay’s divine power blended into it.

Ray climbed the stairs of the sacred temple.

one step. one step.

He walked slowly and stood in front of the altar, clutching at the necklace.

Iriel and I did a lot of things together.

To the extent that you can think that she was always by his side in everything he did in the Holy Kingdom.

He opened his mouth with difficulty.

“great job. Rest in peace now.”

A fire came out of his hand.

Did you know that fire turns blue when it gets hot?

The flames around his hands were as blue as his eyes.

Careful hands touched Iriel’s clothes.

The flames quickly spread to the altar.

Fire-!

A huge fire illuminates the inside of the temple.

The clothes of saints, known to be made stitch by stitch by artisans of Seongguk, could not last even for a moment and turned to ashes.

Memories with her were also blown away with ashes.

While everyone was silent, Ray pushed the faded necklace into the altar.

The necklace fit easily into the solid wooden altar.

Contrary to her appearance, she was very affectionate and humane.

Although he could no longer see it, his relationship with Iriel was clearly in his heart.

After staring at the necklace for a moment, Ray turned his back without hesitation.

* * *

The forest of the dark elves.

This place, where humans are strictly forbidden to enter, has not been visited by humans for more than 1,000 years.

Serien’s instructions fell there.

– If a human man wants to come into town, contact me.

The Dark Elves who received the order tilted their heads.

“What are you doing?”

“Well… I don’t know.”

a human man

It was something I had never seen in my life.

I don’t know what’s going on, but since it’s an order, I have no choice but to obey it in silence.

The Dark Elves’ boundaries became stricter than before, and movement within the village was also restricted.

At first glance, it is full of vigilance to the point of wanting to be severe.

However, in a way, this was a natural result.

Unlike elves who are often captured by slavers, dark elves tend to have no contact with humans.

In a good way, it does not suffer damage from humans, and in a bad way, there is no preparation for the human race.

In addition to that, there were no good rumors among the rumors of humans.

Looking at it now, it is inevitable that the eyes of the different races are bad because they are establishing their own kingdom and granting legitimacy to each other.

How can you trust such people?

They thought there was no other way but to lock the door and prepare as much as possible.

* * *

After finishing Iriel’s memorial service, Ray immediately packed his things and left the kingdom.

he let out a deep sigh.

“I don’t know how long I can last with just this.”

I tapped the empty leather pouch.

I only took a few pieces of dried beef jerky with me because I was leaving in a hurry.

If you keep going like this, you will be able to peel off the bark and eat it before you even stop by the village.

In the elven village, they had to eat only vegetables and fruits, but they wanted to refrain from doing so on the way.

“I have to hunt.”

Eventually he decided to go hunting.

Ray, walking along the road, turned towards the forest.

Laying down his pack in the shade of a nearby tree, Ray snapped a branch.

After arranging the twigs to make them neat, they go straight to hunting.

It is said that the bowl of Eonryeong is shaking, but he has a good spirit from the beginning.

Besides, he was now half mad to eat meat.

“Take only one, only one.”

It was truly bizarre to see him licking his lips and walking around holding a branch.

However, for some reason, there were no monsters around, let alone wild beasts.

Ray scratched his head.

“It’s strange.”

He tried to spread mana more widely around him, but there was almost no response back.

What the hell does it mean that there is not even a rabbit in such a deep forest!

He turned on the light in his eyes and wandered through the woods.

I wandered around for over three hours, but all I found was traces of someone hunting and the remains.

I don’t know what kind of madman made all the mountains, but I guess I did a good job hunting.

“Sheesh. You made a fool of yourself.”

In the end, all that was in Ray’s hand was a few ugly-looking grass and a single soil-covered root.

* * *

Returning to the place where he left his luggage, he skillfully lit the furnace.

He put the trimmed grass into the hanging iron pot and shook the iron pot with the strength of his wrist.

As it swayed from side to side and received the fire evenly, a savory fragrance soon spread all around.

At this point, wild beasts and monsters are bound to gather around after smelling it, but somehow it is quiet.

I’m used to this silence now.

“I will come when the time is right.”

After boiling and eating porridge, I timidly fixed my luggage.

The desire to rest is like a chimney, but there was no time to waste recklessly when the bowl of Eonryeong might be fixed.

I put on the hood of my white robe and went on the road when I started hearing noises in the distance.

The distance was so great that the sound was so low that even Ray couldn’t hear it.

Chaeeng-! Chang-!

Screams followed the noise of weapons clashing.

It seems that a battle has taken place.

Ray clicked his tongue.

“Tsk tsk, you get attacked by monsters when you come into a forest like this.”

Why did he come to such a shady place, leaving the normal road behind?

Besides, he was being attacked by monsters he hadn’t even seen when he was looking for them.

Even if you don’t have luck, you can’t be like that.

Ray muttered to himself and threw himself in the direction of the sound.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Somebody please save me!”

As soon as she came out of the bushes, the woman let out a sharp scream.

It must have been merchants, but a medium-sized wagon had collapsed.

In the future, five orcs surrounded them, and three orcs blocked the road that seemed the only way out.

For an Orc, it could be said that the formation was quite heady.

In contrast, the escort of the merchants was poor.

One old man gasping for breath as if even holding a sword was too much for him.

And a young man walking backwards in fear.

There was also a man in leather clothes who looked like a coachman, but he seemed to have never fought monsters before, and he was trembling with a woman at the back of the carriage.

It was clear that ten more minutes would change his life.

Why did they drive a wagon to a place like this because they wanted to sell valuables?

Ray raised his eyes and looked inside the wagon.

Then, there were a lot of wild beasts he was looking for, turned into cold corpses.

Could it be that he was a hunter, not a merchant! To hunt all the food he needed for his daily life!

It was absurd.

Without a proper escort, hunting in the forest should be avoided at all costs.

But to drag a wagon and make up your mind to hunt?

Naturally, it was natural to be attacked by monsters.

Ray sighed and picked up a stone and threw it into the middle of the battlefield.

An explosion erupted from a stone that should have been thrown lightly.

Kwaaaang—!

A pit the size of a palm was dug in the ground.

If someone who doesn’t know sees it, they’ll think it’s bursting with flame-type explosion magic.

All the eyes of the monsters were focused on Ray at the sudden uproar.

“Chwiiik!”

“Chwiiik!”

A few orcs came running with a characteristic snort.

the old man shouted at him.

“Avoid blood! These guys are different from normal orcs!”

As if proving that, the clubs wielded by the orcs flew at a considerable speed.

Whiik-!

Contrary to expectations, the club, which had been striking down with fierce force, only cut through the air.

Lei, who avoided the attack by taking a step back, had a tree branch in her hand before she knew it.

Wedge love liquid—!

It was only a slight swing, but the sound of the air ripping spread out in all directions.

Then, the orc’s head parted in an instant.

Wow-!

When one of their kind was killed by a human right in front of them, the other orcs were also nervous.

With just one movement, the atmosphere changed drastically.

The orcs didn’t act foolishly, as it might happen again if they moved hastily.

In the meantime, Ray spoke to the people in the wagon.

“Come out soon. To stay there and get into trouble again.”

“yes……? Ah yes…”

Led by the old man, the young man and the coachman approached Ray in turn.

They were quite surprised.

He knew that the Orcs in front of him were not ordinary because he had already fought.

Even in the case of an old man holding a sword and standing in the lead, he was an aura user, although he was a beginner.

The young Robe split the Orcs, who were too much to deal with, like chopping firewood.

It was impossible without some power.

‘To be said to be the offspring of a noble who escaped the mansion… This place is too far from the village.’

Besides, he didn’t seem that old just by hearing his voice.

No matter how much he was taught by the famous family and given a high level of swordsmanship, it would be difficult to deal with even a normal orc, let alone an orc from just before, when he was so young.

The woman, who seemed to be relieved, collapsed into her seat as her legs gave out.

There were even tears in her eyes.

“Hey hey hey… thank you… thank you…”

“What is gratitude? But…”

He hesitated for a moment behind the robe before opening his mouth.

“Are you going to leave that… in the carriage?”

“yes?”

“I was wondering if I could bring some if I don’t need it.”

At that, everyone, including the woman, turned to each other.

Did you mean to go into the middle of that group of orcs and bring back the corpse of a mere beast?

The coachman’s complexion, which had been quite relieved until just now, changed to contemplative again.

“It’s dangerous, so don’t do that.”

He must have said it out of concern, but it was even more dangerous for Ray not to have a proper meal until he reached the village.

Two days had passed since I had chewed on the tough beef jerky that couldn’t even be called meat.

I ate so many herbs, but now I can stir up a game just by looking at green.

The attitude was tougher than before.

There was meat in front of me, but there was no reason to back down.

“Today is the time to eat meat.”

Regardless of whether the surroundings were dry or not, his gaze was already lingering inside the carriage.
