To Hell with Being a Saint, I'm a Doctor

Chapter 748

episode 748 grand operation to move the elf village (5)

in a grand battle.

the king looked down at ray while stroking his beard with a slightly shy expression.

“it’s difficult.”

“i want help no matter what.”

“it’s not that i don’t understand the prince’s position, but please consider celia’s face as well. do you know what it means for your principality to proclaim a kingdom?”

know.

to be independent from celia, which can be called the motherland.

a certain amount of tax and various trade benefits that have been paid so far are returned, and the relationship between kingdoms is established.

in the eyes of the neighboring countries, it will be seen that the principality took advantage of the fall of celia and went out.

it is understandable that king celia was not pleased with it.

ray said without losing.

“with all due respect, his majesty the king pretended not to know when a war broke out in this principality before. if you truly claim to be the motherland, why did you ignore the principality?”

the king continued before he could reply.

“there is nothing to worry about in the eyes of neighboring countries. as well as forming an alliance with this principality, as well as an oath to fulfill duty and duty as a friendly country, you will not be able to reprove celia. however, only the dukedom your majesty spoke of still remembers celia’s disregard.”

in other words, it meant that he had no loyalty to give to celia anymore.

king celia touched her forehead.

“it’s a troubling situation. princess, i sincerely apologize for what happened that day. but kingdom proclamation is a matter of further thought.”

of course, i’m not just asking you to do it unconditionally.

ray pushed in a few things he had prepared.

as he took out his belongings from his bosom and put them on the floor, king deogard hinted at him.

“that’s...”

“it’s a magic tool and some oaths.”

“it’s a magic tool.”

king celia, who had heard of how many magic tools the neighboring kingdoms of heybon and greyman had received, was a little apprehensive.

there was no way ray, who was carefully examining the change in his expression, could not have noticed it.

“this is a little different from the magic tools delivered to other kingdoms.”

while talking, he secretly poured mana into the magic tool.

then, the magic tool that vomited a resonant sound soon responded to the surroundings.

because it was king deogard who had attained the state, he was able to figure out his true identity faster than anyone else.

“it’s a magic tool of mana amplification!”

amplify mana.

it could be said that it was one or two steps ahead of magic tools that offset magic.

according to the literature of the age of sorcery, there were even records that only three or four armies of wizards occupied other kingdoms, so it was impossible to imagine how valuable the relics of the age of sorcery that were actually fought would be.

ray was presenting such an item to seduce the king.

‘to be honest, it was a bit difficult to make.’

most of the items from the age of magic were either lost or used in real battles, so i tried to make them as similar as possible by mixing magic.

there might be a slight difference in performance, but the current magic tool could be a trump card for celia, who has weak military power.

just as expected.

king celia’s voice softened a little.

“hmm. if it’s this much stuff...”

rather than receiving taxes and trade benefits from the principality, receiving the goods in front of you is much more beneficial.

of course, it is possible to invade in reverse even when a war of aggression breaks out.

of course, celia, an intermediary trade country in the east continent, could not lose credibility by going to war first.

the fact that he held out such a mana-boosting magic tool in front of himself rather than another kingdom must have already taken into account his own thoughts.

‘it’s scary, but it’s a different story if it’s an ally.’

deogard read the oath this time.

there were dozens of clauses, but most of them were not unfavorable to celia.

rather, it is stated that it will maintain relations and promise maximum support as an ally.

“are you okay?”

i tried to help the woman who was falling by holding on to her stomach, but she shook her head.

“because i’m fine... please leave... keuuuugh...!”

“...”

in the end, he couldn’t even find the match and came out as if he was kicked out of the guild.

what is it?

there are countless diseases that complain of abdominal pain, so i couldn’t think of anything.

people who don’t even think to say what’s going on and an unknown disease.

even though it was frustrating, there was nothing frustrating like this.

growl-!

after eating breakfast, i was starving, and i was even hungry.

“mt.

looking at the desolate scenery of the royal capital, i entered the nearest pub.

likewise, a pale-faced clerk approached to take my order.

“may i take your order?”

“yes. a soup and a steak...”

“okay.”

“are you okay over there?”

the clerk smiled awkwardly and replied.

“ha ha ha. it’s okay.”

no matter where i looked, it didn’t look good.

the clerk said something to the kitchen and quickly left the tavern.

it was a little suspicious that the worker was leaving work, but ray waited for the food without much doubt.

twenty minutes had passed.

the clerk still hadn’t returned, so the chef brought the food himself.

“enjoy your meal.”

even the thick-built chef has white skin like a woman’s.

if it’s good, it’s fine, if it’s bad, it’s like an invoice.

did everyone at least whiten their skin without their knowledge?

“you can’t ask the king or the nobles. i’m going crazy.”

ray picked up the tableware and ate the food.

the gravy of the meat flows out with a slightly fishy taste.

the soup was also seasoned well overall, but there was a sense of saltiness somewhere.

did your appetite change because you were sick?

it wasn’t like this the last time i came.

after roughly finishing the meal, ray paid the bill and left the pub.

even when he left, the courtesy clerk did not appear.

after dinner, the sun was setting.

celia is an intermediary trading country.

unlike other countries that become quiet in the evening, celia was a place where business was active even late at night.

wanting to see the night view after a long time, i sat in the plaza and watched people, but somehow everyone was packing up and tidying up.

celia, who was even called the city of night, was unthinkable.

the vendors close their business and the clerk empties the tavern.

is that all?

there were almost no people in the guild except for the receptionist, so i even wondered if this was a place for people to live.

‘what is this?’

since the kingdom was in this shape, it seemed like he could understand why celia was struggling with finances recently.

i can’t.

ray, who was trying to rest while watching the night view, eventually got up from his seat and moved on.
