To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 712
Episode 712 The Unanswered Kingdom (5)
A dark mountain where not even merchants go.
A group of people moved quietly, hiding their presence.
A bandit-like man with a huge scar on one side of his face complained.
“How long do I have to hide like a mouse like this? me really I hope you can quickly sweep it up and come out.”
The young man in front of him sighed coldly.
“The most important thing in a group is order. There is no dissatisfaction.”
“Sheesh. that sound again. Who can stop us in such a small capital?”
“I don’t know anything like that. It was just an order coming down from the top. And we follow directions.”
As if there was no need for disagreement, the young man turned his head quickly.
He has a really tight personality.
The man let out a sob.
‘This bastard. As if he was proud because he had a higher number than me.’
The name given to 100 people who grew up in the black room and survived after penance.
The number 73 on the young man’s chest caught my eye.
On the other hand, his own number was only 91.
It was safe to say that it was already the end beyond the halfway point.
A number is also a name, but it is also like a proof plaque that represents one’s own strength.
The lower number dared to obey the higher number.
Ninety-one clenched his fists.
‘Let’s see. Someday I’ll make you crawl under my feet.’
Looking at him with a sinister smile, Seventy-three sighed.
If you look at his painted face, you can clearly see what he is thinking.
‘A fool.’
Ninety days do not know.
The number was not only a measure of strength, but also a measure of the original talent a person possessed.
Even he, a 73-year-old, feels a wall when he sees other people in their 60s, but he is so stunned that he tries to overcome himself at a topic that is only about 90 days old.
Let’s raise a hypocrisy somewhere.
It was clear that he would be removed from the 80s before he even stepped forward.
‘…I’ll bear with it for now.’
The usual ugliness.
Disrespectful attempts to overthrow superiors will be severely punished when the time comes.
In no time, the group led by Seventy-three crossed the mountain range and arrived at the outskirts of the capital.
When they bought clothes from a nearby village and put them on, they looked like novice merchants.
Seventy-three grabbed a passer-by and started talking.
“Excuse me, but I’ll ask for directions.”
“Yes? Please.”
“Isn’t there a temple or something around here?”
At the word temple, the passer-by glanced at the seventy-three.
Judging by his attire, he appears to be a low-end merchant of an unknown store.
The only temple around here is the Demonic Church.
A passer-by asked with a bit of caution.
“Why are you looking for the Demonic Cult?”
“Nothing. I set up a business meeting of my own, but I was thinking of praying to a god close to me.”
As he spoke and smiled kindly, the passer-by soon erased his vigilance.
He answered with a smile.
“The Demonic Church is over that hill. It’s quite a large temple, so you won’t have any trouble finding it. Please do your best.”
“ha ha ha. Thank you. If the business goes well, I will come to repay you.”
“Just hearing that makes me feel good. Ha ha ha ha ha.”
After exchanging a brief joke, they passed each other.
As soon as the gaze of the passerby left, the expression of the seventy-three who had been laughing and smiling returned to normal.
“egg plant.”
To hide their identity, they headed for the temple, pulling a mountain cart.
Let’s go over the hill, a huge temple comes into view.
Along with it, a faint scent of blood was carried by the wind.
“This…”
“It seems that the vanguard has been hit.”
“Tsk. I can’t do one thing.”
Seventy-three frowned.
uncovered identity
Only then could things go wrong.
The worried seventy-three gestured.
After sending a hand signal, the men in black following behind hide their presence and hide from left and right.
The Black Room’s immersion technique, which easily surpassed the level of the Assassin’s Guild, shined.
When the subordinates finished sleeping, seventy-three and ninety-one rang the temple bell alone.
Deeng-! Deeng-!
Let the bell ring announcing the arrival of the believer.
Before long, I could feel the presence inside.
* * *
Ray moved the corpses he had killed in the front yard of the temple to one side.
Anyway, by tonight, it would be hard to clean up, but it was for believers who might come.
“Phew. Is this enough?”
I thought about erasing the smell of blood, but I didn’t, hoping that strangers would smell it and run away.
Now, all you have to do is drink some black tea and wait for the Heukbang to attack in earnest.
He was making tea and reading a book while he was away, but when he didn’t feel the presence of people for a long time, he became nervous inside.
‘Isn’t this because you noticed that the priest left?’
He had doubts, but soon shook his head.
Not even one in a million.
When I spread mana around, I didn’t feel any suspicious presence.
Besides, since the priest was neither stupid nor did she do anything conspicuous, it was virtually inconceivable that the Black Room had found and killed her.
“That means.”
The black room is just late.
No, how can you plunge the world into the abyss of evil when you act so sluggishly!
These bastards will do it right.
“I have nothing to do while I wait. It sucks.”
Shall we make magic tools while they come?
I was just about to make a magic tool that I had seen in Aira’s study before.
Once he made up his mind, he acted quickly.
Ray, who cut down a nearby tree and made the foundation, began to engrave magic using mana.
“First of all, preservation magic.”
Preservation magic tools were so common that they could be found even in the warehouses of the upper ranks.
It might have been a few years ago, but it wasn’t even a task to engrave this much on Ray now.
After casting preservation magic in just a few tens of seconds, he changed the movement of his hand this time.
The hand that engraved each rune word draws a sentence within.
If other wizards had seen something like this, they would have been shocked.
Rune words are letters that have been decorated with images since ancient times.
Rune word for water.
A rune word meaning wind.
And even the rune word that means fire.
It was a kind of brain training to learn various letters and to think of an image that matches the letter in the past.
Imagination is inherently unstable.
If the flame imagined yesterday was a small flame, the flame imagined today could be a bigger flame.
The rune word reliably converts it.
Because it is to put imagination on the rune language that has been studied for many years, when you think of the rune language, a certain picture of nature cannot help but be drawn.
For example, when using flame-type magic, you can consistently manifest magic just by imagining a rune word related to flame, rather than thinking about flame.
It looks simple from the outside, but it is only possible if you memorize hundreds of runes and their combinations like your own limbs.
It was one of the reasons why silk mages were smarter than others.
Convert those runes into sentences and draw them?
This was in line with the voice that he was going to change all the runes he had engraved on his head.
And mix it up again.
When the imagination that has been stable is mixed with other things and becomes unstable.
And if he were to manifest magic in that state.
The mana rod will be twisted in an instant and the caster will become a crippled person.
What Ray was doing now was an act of suicide for wizards.
Maybe ten minutes had passed.
A magic tool that spews mana from his hand was quickly completed.
“Hey, I made it, but it looks really pretty.”
I gently sweep the wooden magic tool I made.
You have beautiful skin too, my baby!
Just as dwarves have an attachment to arms, Ray was also unknowingly becoming like them.
While rubbing his cheek, he immediately put the magic tool down on the floor.
“Your name will be Tdubug from now on.”
Let’s blow mana into the magic tool for the first time.
The magic tool that received life let out a pleasant resonance.
Whoa-!
A deep sound with a sense of grandeur.
The corner of Ray’s mouth went up with the heart of a father who heard his father for the first time from his child.
“Hehehe.”
It was a smile that others could mistake for a pervert with an abnormality.
Around the time I was looking at the magic tool that was breathing for the first time as if it were cute.
Deeng-! Deeng-!
The bell rang a couple of times announcing the arrival of guests.
“Who is it?”
There’s no way the priest who went to the royal castle has already returned.
Did a believer come?
Ray put the magic tool on the desk and went out to the temple gate.
When I opened the old but antique door, there stood two men who looked like fledgling merchants.
One was a nobleman who seemed to have never gone uphill, and the other was a man with a face more suited to a bandit than a merchant.
‘Can I be an escort of the upper lord?’
If you just look at the momentum you feel, they are people who seem to be quite on the move.
Ray asked, puzzled.
“who are you?”
Then the nobleman smiled and opened his mouth.
“Excuse me. I want to pray to God…”
At his words, Ray nodded as if that were the case.
What was it, an ordinary believer?
But in front of it, it will be full of the smell of blood?
“Did you make a sacrifice to the devil? The bloody smell vibrates.”
“iced coffee.”
At the man’s words, Ray nodded again, saying yes.
Certainly, the Demonic Church periodically catches animals and makes offerings to them.
The smell of blood was not a reason why believers could not come.
Ray tried to get them inside and fell into deep thought.
‘wait. What will the Demonic Church do when a believer comes?’
Since it is a temple dedicated to demons, the example will also be different from other temples.
Just looking at offering sacrifices, there was no custom in the Holy Land of catching and killing animals.
Ray, who was worried in front of the door, thought nothing of it.
Well, all religions are there.
If you look closely, isn’t the demonic religion derived from the only religion, the Holy Kingdom?
“Come inside.”
He personally guided the fighters in the Black Room into the temple.
