To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 66
Episode 66 You must roll without mana to survive (1)
It is truly a wonderful technique of stealth.
Even Ray, who is very sensitive to the surroundings, can’t notice it unless he concentrates his mana.
Most people probably don’t even know they exist.
The woman who met his eyes trembled.
‘Even though she’s young, she’s a great mage…’
She gulped and moved from place to place.
“It is strange. Even if you look at it, you look young…”
Ray, who can win all the youngest titles in terms of youth, tilted his head.
In response, Zeke and Eucliwood also looked at Ray with puzzled expressions.
“….”
“….”
They didn’t say anything, but their thoughts were the same.
‘What the hell are you talking about?’
They couldn’t understand each other, and they only had a puzzled look on their faces.

As soon as the day dawned after finishing the ceremony, I went on a pilgrimage.
The end of the pilgrimage is to proclaim in front of everyone that he has become a saint and ride around the village in a carriage.
He wasn’t entirely without guilt for the lies he had told. Because of this, I felt a little giddy when I entered the pilgrimage.
However, he was a person who could forgive others’ lies, but could forgive his own.
The guilt that came up disappeared naturally before it even came to my toes.
Ray wandered around the village, looking back at the people once in a while and meeting some of the major nobles.
Let’s say the main aristocrats were people who knew each other well.
I saw it before the baptism before the ceremony and at the ballroom.
Of course, what I saw at the ballroom was not a formal greeting, but there was no problem recognizing the face.
His memorization ability, like a devil, made it possible to remember all the faces.
His appearance of remembering them one by one gave a good impression to the nobles.
Even if you give a bad impression, there will be no one who can stop you, but if you do, it will be good to push ahead with your future work.
After safely completing the pilgrimage ceremony, Eucliwood guided them to the mansion.
As soon as he arrived, Ray, who had finished taking a bath, lay down on the bed and exhaled heavily.
Fatigue seemed to take over my body. Physical fatigue is the only way to fly with magic, but mental fatigue has its limits.
However, without time to recover from that fatigue, I had to go to the ceremony tomorrow.
It wasn’t that I didn’t have any expectations about the precedent.
An rite in which the god bestows divine power. It is said that you will lose all the mana you have and fill the place with divine power, but your mana load is special.
Since there was no circle in the first place, there would be no confinement of divine power, and since there was no confinement of mana, there would be no mana to take away.
If that happens, what will happen to the remaining divine power? The situation where the outcome was unknown made Ray’s heart flutter.
It’s a situation where you can feed a lot of candy to God.
All that was left was to wait until tomorrow.
Ray was uncharacteristically excited and went to sleep.
* * *
The day of the celebration has dawned.
Eucliwood wanted to guide them, but Iriel came dressed in a formal attire.
“I’m here to see the saint.”
At that, Ray looked at Eucliwood and said.
“The guide is a little different this time.”
Then, Iriel replied with a characteristic smile.
“The ceremony is a bit special, so a prettier person should guide it.”
At Iriel’s words, Eucliwood didn’t dare to glare at him and cleared his throat.
“Hmmmm! Except for special cases, only adults can attend the ceremony.”
“Ah, so today Iriel came out to meet me.”
“yes. Please forgive me for not following you.”
“okay.”
“By the way, again, it has nothing to do with looks.”
“Because I know.”
Leaving behind Eucliwood, who kept emphasizing that it had nothing to do with appearance, Ray set out with Iriel.
Pass the garden behind the castle and enter the forest. The front of the forest was blocked by a fence, and guards were guarding the entrance.
The guards were also not typical castle guards. It is said that the knights take turns taking turns from time to time.
Could this be such a sacred place? Ray swallowed.
Isn’t it a more solemn place than he expected?
As we entered deeper into the forest, we began to see steps made of stone.
The stone steps were so long that it was impossible to know the end. It’s hard to find a better stairway to burst your leg muscles.
Just in case, Ray was about to ask Iriel, ‘Do you really want to climb this place?’
“You can go upstairs. However, you must not use any mana.”
I didn’t even ask yet, but I could hear Iriel’s answer as if he had read his mind.
Do I really have to climb this place… I haven’t even climbed, but I feel like my legs are shaking.
‘If I knew this would happen, I should have learned how to activate mana in my body first!’
Even if you regret it, the fact that you have to climb the stone steps does not change.
He even brought a book to read when he was to attend the ceremony.
That’s why the backpack I’m carrying is quite heavy. I had to carry it up the stone steps that were so high that I felt dizzy.
Ray took a step. It may be because of my mood, but it feels like my muscles are screaming.
You can take care of it with your own mana, but Iriel just said that you shouldn’t use mana.
So Ray had to personally experience countless stone steps.
Iriel enjoyed watching it.
‘Ho-ho-ho. Holy Son, I felt the same way back then.’
She also climbed this place when performing the gwonrye.
The old memories of the climb came to mind one after another while taking a break in the middle and rubbing my legs.
“Whoa…”
Ray let out a big sigh.
Iriel said he had to go alone from now on.
And for some reason, it is said that all the people and nobles wait until the saint’s rite is over.
Iriel didn’t even think about moving from the bottom of the stone steps, probably the same.
There seemed to be no answer other than to diligently climb up and finish the rite.
He slung his heavy backpack over his shoulders and climbed the seemingly endless stairs.
Has it been two hours since you climbed the stairs? The stone steps still had no end in sight.
“Who the hell built these crazy stairs?”
Respect for those who built the stairs was soaring.
The pyramids were obviously man-made.
Looking at what a person can make these crazy stone steps.
“Heokheok… I should have brought water…”
I couldn’t use magic because I couldn’t use mana.
So I couldn’t help but not drink water.
Ignored my thirst and continued walking for another two hours.
The endless stairs were revealing their end.
As I climbed the last steps and climbed to the top, what appeared in front of me was a magnificent waterfall, a hill surrounded by flowers, and a small cabin nestled in it.
As we walk forward a little further, the open sky is the first thing we see.
A cool breeze passing under the shade cooled the sweat on his forehead.
They were very beautiful.
If you ask how beautiful it was, you can answer that the ignorantly many stone steps you see when you turn around look cute.
If there was a paradise, would it look like this?
All that came out of his mouth was admiration.
“I thought there would be only trees… I thought there would be a place like this at the top…”
To be honest, I didn’t even expect it. I only climbed the stairs to come, but I couldn’t even imagine what was at the top.
The lethargy the stairs gave was enormous.
The sight of the top of the mountain in front of me was spectacular.
If I wanted to finish the ceremony quickly before going up the stairs and leave, now I’m thinking about going out a little more leisurely.
Ray looked around and walked towards the cabin. The old
–
fashioned cabin door opened.
Inside, there were tables, chairs, and trash that was presumed to have been flower pots in the past.
If it’s clean, you can say it’s clean. It’s a bit over-clean, but that’s it.
I put the broken flower pot aside and put down my backpack.
He was very thirsty now.
To the point where I couldn’t resist the urge to jump into the valley in front of me and drink water.
After leaving the cabin, Ray immediately drank in the valley.
The thirst that had been stinging my throat while climbing the stairs so far disappeared in an instant.
“The water tastes good too.”
I looked around again with a refreshing feeling that my thirst was gone.
A large tree on the hill bore scarlet fruits.
Seeing that there were quite a lot of fish in the valley, it seemed that there was no need to worry about food.
‘It’s been a week since I haven’t done anything… I think it’ll be better than I thought?’
A commandment to show sincerity to God. Specifically, when asked how to show sincerity, Iriel replied that it was all about eating and sleeping for a week.
If so, you might as well spend a few days reading a book.
You can just rest without doing anything. It was like being on vacation.
The idea of a vacation made me feel better.
After taking a book from the cabin, Ray lay down and read the book.
As it is a book related to medicine, his concentration was amazing.
Once I picked up the book, it was an instant to fall in love with.
Continuing to read, he closed the book only when the sun had set and the writing was no longer visible.
In the evening, the temperature dropped sharply.
I think it’s because it’s a high terrain. If you use mana, you can drive the cold right away, but now that you can’t use mana, it was impossible.
Reluctantly, Ray put on a little more of the clothes he had brought from his backpack. It was still cold, but I was able to reduce the cold even a little.
“Come to think of it, I’m hungry too.”
I picked the fruit from the tree I had seen during the day while caressing my growling stomach.
After taking a bite of the peach-like fruit, the sweet juice made my mouth dizzy.
How can fruit be so delicious? He was able to stop eating only after he ate five fruits that were not small on the spot.
Returning to the cabin, Ray grabbed his trembling body.
At this rate, you will catch a cold. A cold is the source of all diseases! Besides, the situation is like this, so you should never catch a cold.
He picked up dry twigs outside. I picked up the big twigs in the back, skillfully peeled off all the bark, and then scraped it off with a hard twig, and the thin twigs peeled off like paper.
“The tinder is gone.”
Ray brought a straight tree branch and a sloppy piece of wood from the surrounding area.
I scraped a piece of wood with a twig to dig a groove and placed the tinder I had made there.
Then he set the twigs at right angles to the slabs and began rubbing them against each other.
Squeak-squeak-
The sound is loud, but it doesn’t catch fire.
A little more friction was needed to get the temperature above the ignition point to ignite.
“Aaaagh!”
It spins branches with a scream-like spirit.
Sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-sseu-seu-seu-seu-seu-seu-seu-seu-sseu-sseu-sseuk-
The sound wasn’t fire, but it had the momentum to manifest Hellfire. Not even a fire was made, let alone a fire.
