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

Chapter 455

episode 455 celia’s slave merchant, slave merchant of justice (11)

after purchasing a large amount of rope at the market, ray deliberately moved to a quiet place where the troops of high-ranking nobles could easily find him and not be conscious of the surrounding gaze.

of course, the party grumbled.

“will you really come looking for us just because we are in a place like this?”

“i know you are full of confidence, but your opponent is a military force. what do you think you want to do against them?”

– brother, it would be better to rest at an inn.

“...”

mace and moros did not speak separately, but they seemed to be of the same opinion.

ray ignored everyone’s comments.

“heh heh. the big fish rolls into your hand on its own, but you can’t miss it.”

knowing that there is no end to stubbornness once, soonbok and mien shut their mouths.

i sat in the woods for over four hours.

mace, who couldn’t stand the pain and got up from his seat, shouted.

“how long are we going to keep doing this! you kid! let’s just be stubborn and take a break at the inn!”

a mere slave trying to defy his master.

it was necessary to let people know early on that hypocrisy is directly related to death.

when ray stared at soonbok blankly, soonbok tilted his head and then smiled as if he understood.

interpreting the look in his eyes as ‘kill half of them’, soonbok approached mace and struck him mercilessly.

only mace’s plaintive screams echoed through the forest as his thick palms moved back and forth on his cheeks.

in the end, the slave trader was beaten thirty times and laid on his bed.

while treating mace, mien put on a tired expression.

“it’s still hot, so don’t make any work.”

the forest is hot.

in addition, moisture is also significant.

just sitting still was enough to cause the discomfort index to pierce the atmosphere and head into space.

two more hours passed.

now, those who couldn’t get rid of the heat with mana were showing signs of scratching the trees while gasping for breath.

“you are cool.”

ray alone made the surroundings cool with his magic.

soonbok is also clinging to his side and fanning his hands.

mace hinted at interjecting.

“isn’t there an old saying to respect the elderly? my age is also my age, so please take a seat...”

while talking, he tried to squeeze into the seat next to him, but soonbok with a vicious expression on his face hit him again in his thirties, and then fell out.

mian pursed her lips.

“phi. salty.”

what if it’s salty?

what makes my body comfortable!

mace approached mien pleading, but she turned her head away.

it’s hard on her too.

in the end, mace was thrown into the forest with a swollen cheek.

there were those who came towards them from afar.

animal fur attached to leather clothes, and leather boots specialized for walking in the forest.

no matter which one you look at, it is that of a bandit.

the group of bandits approaching them with a ferocious spirit soon splits apart.

a tall man walked out of the center and pressed close to ray and his party.

“you bastard, in whose territory do you dare to lie down carelessly? wake up.”

he spoke boldly on purpose, but his tone was serious, not suitable for a bandit.

in addition, the beard, which should have been dirty for a bandit, was neatly trimmed.

yang ray, who said that the thing he had been waiting for had finally arrived, lifted his head and looked at the bandits’ faces.

‘looks like the knights are disguised.’

he’s wearing clothes that don’t match, but he doesn’t look like a bandit.

twenty people were emitting sharp momentum like a sword.

no matter how well-trained a bandit is, it is impossible to apply such pressure.

rai slowly stood up in the shade of a tree and brushed off the hem of his trousers.

“do you have anything to do with me?”

the two of them thought of each other while restraining the knights.

‘did i buy a rope in preparation for an occasion like this?’

‘how far did you look?’

it gave me goosebumps at the sight of him looking into the future casually, as if he had foresight.

when all the knights were tied up, ray asked them.

“who sent you?”

“...”

“....”

no one answered.

everyone just kept silent with their heads down and their eyes down.

“we are bandits.”

“you don’t have to be a bandit?”

“...”

his sharp point made the knight commander’s mouth shut.

no matter how much he said it, it didn’t seem like he would open his mouth, so ray decided to tell a lie.

“actually, i am the leader of the reconnaissance party sent by the celia royal family. these are my men.”

as he glanced behind him, they blinked their eyes, who had become royal scouts in an instant.

however, the captain and the knights began to show a difference in their eyes.

“...how do you mean that?”

“it doesn’t really matter whether you open your mouth or not, but the celia royal family plans to weed out the nobles on a large scale using this opportunity.”

“it has nothing to do with us.”

ray ignored the knight commander’s words and continued talking.

“a mysterious ledger started circulating around the royal family. i don’t know what family you belonged to, but you must have left at least one name on the ledger. if the truth is revealed at all, not only your master, but you and all the family members of your knights’ family will be doomed.”

as he lowered his voice and threatened, the knight commander swallowed his saliva.

‘...if the young master dies, our family will end.’

the nobleman who led the family died, and at some point, the wife began to hang out with the men, revealing her true intentions.

the only thing he could trust in this situation was his son.

but isn’t it a very miserable death to die to pay the price for the crimes committed by the mother?

a family that has lost a successor can only wait for destruction.

‘if that statement is true...’

the family comes to an end.

the knight commander, who had been silent for a while, looked up at ray.

“what do you mean by telling me that?”

as soon as he responded, ray raised an eyebrow.

his charming smile peeped out under his white mask.

“your majesty is a very compassionate person. if the water changes were in the latter half of the year, i wouldn’t know, but if the nobles confessed their sins right now, when they haven’t even started, they would surely forgive them. of course, keeping quiet as it is is one way to do it, but... if anyone is caught, the family and family members you serve will all be punished.”

at the word capital punishment, the knight commander’s heart felt like it was sinking.

‘that alone has to be blocked at all costs.’

even if he had to turn his back on his master, he had to block the gate of extinction.

but that doesn’t mean you can’t blindly trust what others say.

no matter how much he has the skills to easily subdue himself as the leader of the knights, didn’t he tell me to cross the stone bridge after knocking on it?

the knight commander looked at ray with sharp eyes.

“show me proof that what you say is true.”

“evidence?”

mmm. be proof

after thinking for a moment, ray rummaged through his pockets and took out a tile.

it was an honored card from the kingdom of silia that had been received from hafman the other day.

the rim is made of platinum and the decoration is studded with various rare jewels.

even so, ray is the taesang elder of the upper half of the upper half of the continent, which is said to be the best.

of course, the plaque was also extremely luxurious.

the unusual appearance of the plaque and even the official seal of king deogard in the center made the captain of the knights believe in it.

“...i guess it’s true.”

“i don’t usually lie.”

they lie without spitting on their lips.

maybe he has a natural talent for fraud.
