To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 762
Episode 762 Choice and Decision (5)
“Why are you doing this?”
The startled old man took a few steps back.
He watched with his own eyes as the man in front of him slaughtered several bandits.
He never tolerated those who disobeyed his planting and wielded his sword mercilessly, but his appearance was no different from that of a tyrant.
The moment I thought I was going to die.
The red-haired man growled uncharacteristically low.
“Who are you?”
The place his sword was aiming at was empty space.
blurry signs.
The strange feeling that something doesn’t exist even though it seems to exist goes against my nerves.
The Black Spirit was taken by surprise.
I don’t know what to say, but I’m proud that there are few people who can recognize my stealth skills even if I look at them throughout the continent.
I was confident that I would not be caught no matter who the opponent was, but I never thought I would be caught so easily.
‘I’d better run away from here.’
Dark Spirit killed as much as possible and quietly left the cavity.
Fortunately, as I was conscious of him and practiced stealth at the highest level, the man slowly noticed that I was going to lose my mind.
He drew back his sword.
“…It seems that your nerves have been sharpened lately.”
“Whew… I thought I was going to die.”
“In case you don’t know, increase the sentries. There’s nothing wrong with being careful.”
After saying that, he left the joint with a saddened face.

Heukyeong, who was nervous because he thought he would be caught, came out of the lair and wiped his chest.
I thought there were only a few strong bandits, but deep down there was someone who was strong enough to see through his stealth.
Their conversations were also unusual.
Arrogance enough to kill even a vampire? curse?
Besides, it’s impossible to do it.
If you can make dozens or hundreds of those things instead of just one, you could feed them to the people of each kingdom and try to overthrow the country.
“Looks like you’re not just a bandit.”
There are only two organizations that can do that.
coalition and black.
Since this is the kingdom of Silia, the former case is impossible.
That said, it meant that it was the Black Room that had recently taken the bandit’s lair as a base.
I expected that the Black Room would be stationed around Count Cerian’s family, but I never thought it would be this close.
Heuk-young hurriedly moved to the count’s mansion where So-yeong was.
* * *
Riding along the road, reaching the border barracks and coming to Count Cerian’s mansion.
After being attacked five times in about half a day, the bishop priest could sense how critical his life was.
She pouted her lips as she leaned against the horse with a weary face, perhaps tired of it now.
“I’m glad I’m alive.”
“It would be nice if you knew by now.”
“…Have you been protecting me all this time?”
Rei nodded her head at her question, a little hesitant.
Isn’t it natural
When you go to the territory of the principality, you have to go through the steps to become the manager of the territory, so dying in a place like this is unacceptable.
At that, the bishop’s complexion brightened a little.
“That’s right. You protected it.”
“It will arrive soon. I plan to stay for a few days, so take a good rest in the meantime.”
“Ah yes!”
A few minutes of walking on the snow, being careful not to slip your horse.
They were finally able to have Count Cerian’s mansion right in front of them.
As soon as their words crossed the gate, So-yeong approached before the guards in the mansion.
“Meet the saint. How was your trip so far?”
“okay.”
“Ho-ho-ho. Fortunately, the.”
‘My head was about to burst from work,’ said So-young, muttering behind her back, volunteering to be the guide and entered the mansion.
Leaving the horse in the hands of the attendant, as they entered the trail, a slightly desolate landscape greeted them.
“Mmm.”
In a word, it was a model of a poor aristocratic mansion.
Originally, the county was a symbol of wealth and power.
Unlike other aristocratic families, the modest-looking mansion seems to support the bitter current situation of Count Cerian.
Soyoung continued to guide her to the waiting room without saying anything.
Standing in front of the door, she knocked a couple of times and opened it to find Levia waiting for them.
“Nice to see you again. My name is Levia, the daughter of Count Cerian.”
“It’s Ray.”
“This is Noura.”
press?
When I looked at the bishop as if I was hearing it for the first time, she averted my gaze as if she was a little embarrassed.
“It’s my middle name.”
It’s definitely an unfamiliar name that I’ve never heard of here on the eastern continent.
Because it was a greeting, Ray took a sip of tea and didn’t ask Levia questions.
Anyway, you just have to listen to the report from Soyoung.
While having tea time thinking about that, I felt like I heard a shout from afar.
‘Teria! Can’t you come here right away!’
The voice even contained mana, so it was loud enough that ordinary people could damage their ears if they listened closely.
Ray was curious about it.
“What is this sound?”
“…This is the head of this place, my father, Earl Cerian.”
go away
How the hell did you say that if you’re angry, you’re going to yell at me like that.
Thinking there must be a story, I was about to move on, but So-Young came up to me and whispered in my ear.
“You are cursed.”
“curse?”
“Haven’t you ever seen the Holy Son?”
she said briefly.
Dark magic that goes crazy and goes back and forth between the present self and the past self.
After hearing the explanation, Ray’s expression changed moment by moment.
He then put down the teacup and looked at Levia.
“Is there anything your father used to like?”
While chatting with a relaxed face, he suddenly hardened his expression and asked her, and she answered without knowing it.
“You enjoyed hunting.”
“Animal hunting?”
“There are many monsters around our territory, so there are no animals. I heard that you used to hunt goblins and orcs from time to time.”
“…okay.”
Hearing the answer, his face looked like a complicated person at first glance.
“Can I meet the head of the household?”
“yes?”
At his words, not only Levia, but also Soyoung and Bishop Nura, who were by her side, were surprised.
Soyoung refused with a single knife.
As before, she spoke softly in a whisper.
“There is a risk that the curse will transfer. As a security guard, we cannot afford to watch such a risk.”
“are you okay. Because there’s no way it’ll stick.”
“Why are you so assertive? Curses are not so easy to look at…”
“If that curse is really on me, then Gaia, who chose me as a saint, must be at least that much.”
“…”
It’s like I’m cursing my parents.
Soyoung also nodded as the saint, whose very existence could be said to be divine, blasphemed.
“all right. But if you feel it’s dangerous, please step back.”
As Soyoung, who was tearing her eyes away, stepped back, Levia asked anxiously this time.
“It doesn’t matter, but may I ask why?”
She is still not sure if she can trust them.
Over the past few days, I have felt a little change as I have managed the territory as So-yeong said, but I still feel that it is not enough to fully trust him.
In the meantime, since he was making a slightly unexpected request to see the householder, deep down he was suspicious of his true intentions.
Ray answered as softly as possible.
“The place I came to is the Serian Territory, which is the direct territory of the frontier. If guests come, wouldn’t it be right to greet the monarch?”
Levia kept her mouth shut at the answer that didn’t stop at a single line.
After hearing it, I’m not saying it’s wrong.
It is not polite for a person who is not yet a successor to step forward and receive guests.
While immersed in her thoughts while drinking a cup of tea, she finally spoke up.
“All right. I will guide you.”
* * *
They stood in front of the door through which the shouts leaked out.
Even from a distance, the angry voice seemed to have lost its strength, and it seemed to have softened a little.
Knock-
knocked and opened the door.
The gray-haired old man turned bright as soon as he saw Levia.
“Teteria! You finally came!”
“…not Teria. This is Levia.”
“You know how long I waited! I don’t know!”
Tears drip from sorrow.
Emotional ups and downs are beyond the normal level.
Levia seemed indifferent as if she had gotten used to it, and Soyoung and Noora, who were watching from the side, looked like they couldn’t understand.
After staring at the old man for a long time, Ray released the sword from his waist and let it go.
Seeing him disarming himself, Nuua stopped him.
“you.”
‘Are you insane?’ she swallowed back.
No matter how unmatched it is, it is a monster, but if you get hit with an old man’s knife at such a close distance, you will see a sick look.
Levia also said a little worried.
“My father is in the intermediate level for his sword aura. Just in case you don’t know, he’s wearing black.”
“are you okay.”
Without taking her eyes off Cerian Family Head, Ray hurriedly approached.
As if he was an old man who had never allowed anyone other than Levia to come around, he was furious.
“Yeah man! How dare you ignore me!”
As if he would pull out a knife at once, he let out a sharp momentum, but Ray only smiled at him.
he said, trembling.
“Have you forgotten, my lord? Didn’t you decide to go hunting today?”
what is that all of a sudden
Even before the doubts around him were resolved, the old man, who had been angry like fire, calmed down and said, as if he had never done that before.
“Oh yes! hunt!”
I put on the hat I wore when I was younger that was hanging on the wall and fumbled with my sword and smiled like Ray.
“Then go. I will take the lead.”
“okay!”
When Ray opened the door and went outside, the householder followed him out of the bedroom.
Since she had never been out of the house since being cursed, the shock that Levia felt was even greater.
Oh right.
My father was such a laughing man.
When was the last time you saw a smile?
For some reason, one side of my chest throbbed.
The old man returned to the bedroom as if he had forgotten and stroked Levia’s head once more.
“I’ll definitely come back, Teria.”
