To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 598
Episode 598: Grand Banquet in the Kingdom of Heron (9)
The three princesses, who pretended to be calm and stood still, eventually collapsed on their knees as their legs gave out.
“I thought you were going to die.”
she stroked her chest
Growing up like a flower in a greenhouse, she first saw the sword fighting of the knights.
My skin is ripped right in front of my eyes.
The scent of blood spreads thickly like fog, making you feel nauseous.
Did he notice that the complexion of the three princesses was not good?
Princess Deltia looked around at the knights and said.
“I want to investigate each and every one of these places myself, but for now, getting out of here is the priority. I’m sorry, Sir Lotte.”
At her words, the knight commander Lotte silently bowed his head.
“yes. Even if it wasn’t, I was thinking of setting up an investigation team to find out.”
“…Let’s also investigate the group called ‘Heukbang’ that Lord mentioned. There’s something going on.”
“I take orders.”
Deltia glanced around.
The road to the royal castle, which had been clean just a moment ago, was stained with the blood of the knights.
‘Attempted assassination in front of the royal castle…’
There was no way to know who was behind the dare to harm the three princesses, but I’m afraid of the future because there are people who can guess.
Besides, even after such a fierce battle, the fact that no one came would mean that they had prepared their hand in advance.
With a complicated expression on her face, she bit her lip.

The night before the banquet.
The sun, which had been high up high, set and passed over the ridge, and a dark night came.
King Heron, who heard about the events in the castle from Lotte Knights Commander, was furious.
Whoops-!
He couldn’t beat his temper and slammed the table.
“What! How dare you let assassins roam around the castle!”
The Knight Commander Lotte, who was reporting to him, knelt down.
“I have committed a mortal sin…! All of them are lacking in my ability…”
“It’s done! So, did you find out who the attackers were!”
When the enraged king asked, he lowered his head instead of answering.
How can I not know that it means that I did not find out?
In a truly frustrating situation, King Heron sighed.
“How could this happen… what about the princesses? Are you all right?”
“Yes… Fortunately, we were able to get help during the fierce battle.”
“help?”
When the king showed interest, Lotte calmly explained what had happened.
Surrounded by mysterious knights.
The unusual swordsmanship of the man who commanded them.
And even the magician’s divine power that suddenly comes and wipes them out with a single stroke of magic.
King Heron, who had been silently listening to this, was a little impressed.
“Are you asking Jim to believe that?” “How dare you tell a lie about safety? I’m just telling you the facts I saw. Even if I ask the princesses, they probably won’t differ too much from my opinion.” “…Do you know how absurd the words Kyung said on his own are? Wiping out all the knights with one magic. It is impossible even for the chief mage of the royal palace.”
Certainly it is.
The chief mage of the royal palace who reached the 5th circle master was also difficult to predict victory if he faced the knights one-on-one.
It’s true that it’s not easy to fight an all-out war with a knight, let alone one knight, with skills that have reached the 5th circle.
But Lotte still shook her head.
With a hardened face, he spoke cautiously to the king.
“He… manifested the large-scale magic of the 5th circle only with starter words.”
Even the king is not an idiot.
He was well aware of how effective the large-scale magic of the 5th circle was against the army.
However, did he not chant the chant, but only expressed it with the first language?
“Nonsense. For wizards to manifest magic only with starter words, it is only possible when there is a gap of more than 2 circles. Do you know?”
“…yes.”
“Then do you think he is a person who has reached the 7th circle… Lord?”
“That’s right.”
Hearing those words answered without hesitation, the king was also full of energy.
“Huh.”
Lord.
Even in the era when magic was most active and explosively growing, only 15 people across the continent had heard it.
But now that most of the legacy of the age of sorcery has been lost and is blocked by a wall, a 7th circle Lord?
It was as absurd as the dragon coming back alive and paying rent to himself as the king.
However, I can’t help but be curious that Lotte, who doesn’t usually lie, speaks so confidently.
King Heron looked down at him and said.
“If you do, who the hell is the one who helped you? Bring them before me.”
At his words, Lotte pondered for a while, and then shook her head.
“I’m sorry, but it’s impossible…”
“It’s impossible?” When the king, a little uneasy, asked for the reason.
Knight Commander Lotte lowered his head even more and said.
“Even in the age of magic, a Lord held a position equal to that of a country’s king. It is only natural that they would destroy the saints with just one word. However, it is a story that only works in the age of magic. If a Lord were to be born now… Most wizards on the continent would gather at his word and turn their backs on the kingdom with a single finger pointing… I mean.”
As the words got longer, Lotte coughed carefully to clear her throat, as if her throat was burning, and continued.
“If Your Majesty calls in such a person just because he’s curious… this could happen in the future.”
“Umm….”
If the rod is really right, it is.
However, King Heron, who was deeply suspicious of the Lord’s existence, wanted to find out its identity.
Just in time, he realized that there was a good magic tool in the kingdom’s treasury, and he suggested it.
“Then, how about inviting them to a banquet and having them present themselves?”
“What do you mean by showing off…?”
“There is a magic tool in the royal treasury. I’ve been keeping it because it’s something from the past, but it’s useless. It is said that if the person who touches it pours mana into it, the circle can be recognized. If he really is the Lord, can’t he prove it enough?”
The king’s expression brightened a little, as if it was a good idea even to himself.
However, Lotte thought differently.
After struggling for a while, he opened his mouth worriedly.
“…I wonder if Lord will obey me. Isn’t it your intention that you have not revealed your identity until now? If, on the contrary, you view the kingdom as a bad thing, starting with this…”
“Can a person who has risen to a level beyond human beings be so narrow-minded? They will surely appreciate us for setting up a place for them.”
No matter what he said, King Heron didn’t seem to change his mind, so now Captain Lotte gave up halfway.
“Your Majesty, please do as you wish.”
“If he is truly a lord, then he must be the lord of our kingdom. ha ha ha.”
Lotte drooled while watching the king drink kimchi soup, even though he hadn’t even met Rod yet.
On the topic of denying the Lord’s existence until just now.
The king, now full of thoughts of expanding the kingdom and spreading the name of Heron in the world, asked with a pretty bright face.
“so. Who the hell is that Lord?”
Like a child waiting for a toy.
When the king asked with a half-excited and half-expected face, Lotte did not answer meekly and instead asked the king back.
“Your Majesty, do you remember the noble son of Celia that you ordered last time?”
To that question, King Heron nodded while stroking his beard.
“Ciliara… Come to think of it, Count Sylvesta was so offended that he paid a little attention to me. But why did he come here?”
Huh.
Lotte’s complexion was a little stiffer than before.
The moment when King Heron was about to say something while seeing him sweating coldly.
Lotte opened her mouth as she prostrated herself in front of the king.
“He… no, he… is the Lord.

After finishing his work, Ray immediately returned to the cabin.
“I’m tired after moving my body for the first time in a while.”
He didn’t move much except when dealing with Heukbang.
In order not to forget how to train with Derp, he didn’t use mana, so it felt like it had been a long time since he had used magic like this.
Just as Ray was about to enter the cabin.
As usual, the nobles passing by mocked him.
“Oh my God… To be able to live in such a cramped and filthy place… After all, they are a filthy tribe in a lowly place.”
Those who heard this laughed and covered their mouths with their sleeves.
“Ho-ho-ho. Then I’ll hear you all.”
“What will I do if I hear it? Even if it’s not, the incident that happened in the castle today is suspicious. I doubt that Celia might be involved.”
Ray’s ears, which rolled as he would in the Holy Land, had already evolved to hear only what he wanted to hear.
The nobles framed him, but their words flowed out before they reached the ears.
“I’m going to have to sort things out now.”
When the banquet opens and the heat slowly begins to ripen.
he will leave the kingdom
I was a little concerned about why the Black Room was stationed in the Heron kingdom, but it was surprising that there was a kingdom that their hands hadn’t reached out to, so what was it?
After leaving Heron Castle, I plan to lock myself in Dragon Rare for a while.
Apparently, the last books left by the great race caught my heart.
what he wanted to convey.
Even by forcibly prolonging life.
What is the reason for allowing everyone to enter and exit while releasing the barriers placed on the dragon rare?
And why do you think about posterity while doing that?
Curiosity continued biting its tail.
Maybe you can find out why you came to this world.
Thinking about that for a moment, Ray prepared for the banquet to be held soon.
