Doctor Player

Galman shook his head when he heard Oden’s concern.

“You must live longer. Since you’re a sword master, aren’t you still in your prime?”

Sword masters don’t live longer than others.

Instead, they maintain a younger body condition for longer. The age of the elderly is decreasing. Of course, this means doing activities are also possible for a long time.

“Well…” Oden was suddenly speechless.

‘That’s strange. I don’t think there’s any particular abnormality. Count Helien’s healing also almost healed my coughing disease.’

‘And yet, strangely, my body still felt ill.’

‘I don’t have a disease, but could I say I’m not in a good condition?’

I don’t feel very good, so there are more times when I worry about this:

‘I wonder if Kairn or Lemarton will do well after my death.’

As I saw earlier, there were many pigs who eat away the poor and the powerless. It could be said that most aristocrats do.

The problem is that Kairn and Remerton are supported by the said pigs.

Oden was properly controlling those pathetic pigs with overwhelming charisma, but could Kairn and Lemarton do it?

“Well.”

Oden couldn’t nod his head easily.

It wasn’t a matter of ability.

Having risen to the throne with their support, is it possible not to be swayed by them?

It wasn’t easy.

‘They are both still young. I’ll have to look forward to seeing them grow further.’

There are two options anyway…… No, there were three until Seytil. The throne must be handed down among them.

‘It is a pity that my first son was already out of the equation.’

Prince Python, the first prince.

He was a prince born in the 1st Queen and showed overwhelming ability in every way.

After being crowned crown prince, he died in an accident.

As if on cue, Galman had spoken, leaving him out of his trance.

“We made the cards you mentioned.”

It was a splendid card made of gold.

The royal coat of arms was engraved with the name of the Penin Treatment Center.

In the name of King Oden and the royal family, Penin Treatment Center is recognized.

“I will give this card to the Penin Clinic.”

King Oden nodded, and Chancellor Galman proceeded at once.

***

Royal certification plaque sergeant at Penin Treatment Center!

The incident brought as much shock as the fall of the Maple Treatement Center.

This is because it guaranteed Penin Treatment Center in the name of the royal family.

In other words, the Penin Treatment Center has become the only treatment center recognized by the royal family.

“No way!”

“Why would Your Highness do such a thing to a treatment center which performs pseudo-miscellaneous cure?”

“Isn’t it because of the royal bloodline?”

Many people protested, especially healers.

Although perceptions have changed considerably among ordinary people, healers still called Raymond’s medicine a miscellaneous technique.

It was because of their pride.

They can’t accept other methods of treatment other than healing.

“What the heck is this?!”

“Absolutely unacceptable!”

The healers wrote that they were not convinced by the name of the Tower of Healing.

And the answer to the letter was simple.

[I’ve only chosen the treatment center that always keeps the best interest of patients in mind. If you are as good as the Penin Treatment Center for your patients, I will give you the same card.]

It was a jaw-dropping answer.

For the sake of the patients.

To do so, expensive treatment costs cannot be adhered to as they are now.

Rather, it could never have happened without receiving benefits.

That’s how the healers became quiet.

However, they only kept their mouths shut, and this incident did not mean that their dissatisfaction disappeared.

All the healers who use healing disassembled as their pride gets hurt, knowing that the Penin Treatment Center received a royal certification plaque that other prestigious treatment centers did not receive.

The certification plaque was so meaningful that they could break it down.

What a great honor as a hea;er!

However, Raymond, the person involved, responded somewhat with a sour reaction.

“……Thank you for your kindness.”

“Yes, continue to work hard for the people of the kingdom.”

Galman, who gave a certificate plaque on behalf of King Oden, tilted his head.

Something about Raymond’s face didn’t look good.

“What’s wrong?”

“Oh, no. That….”

Raymond blurted out at the end of his speech.

Galman looked suspicious because he seemed to have something to say.

“It’s such a great honor.”

“……?”

“By any chance… Do…… Oh, no.”

Actually, what Raymond wants to say.

That’s it.

‘Is this really the end? This will all just end with honor?’

‘How happy I was to hear that I was getting a royal certification plaque.’

‘But when I got it, it was a good dog killing.’

‘It doesn’t mean anything other than honor!’

Of course, it was a great honor.

If you are a healer, you can make this card your pride until you die.

But Raymond also hoped for substantial compensation.

For example, money… Or money…… Or something like money.

Did he know Raymond’s heart?

Galman said with a smile. “It’s a shame that we haven’t been able to provide much financial support due to the poor finances of the royal family recently. I apologize for every penny, This will reduce the upcoming national foundation festival to a minimum, but this shall be your small reward.”

He wasn’t just saying it.

Even before, the kingdom of Houston was already in a poor financial condition, but now it has very tight because the country is preparing for war. In other words, the festival ought to be a waste of money.

Eventually, Raymond, who received only a small reward, sighed.

Still, is it a relief that he received even 10,000 pence as a reward. 

‘When am I going to be rich?’ 

10,000.

It was a reward that would normally be greatly pleased.

But Raymond looked disappointed.

There was a reason why he turned like this again.

‘I have to move because the patients are crowding the building to its max capacity and more. My God.’

The Penin Treatment Center was a small building originally used as a family home.

It was not enough to accommodate the influx of patients.

‘I was forced to hold out, but a while ago, the floor fell down.’

‘Why is the rent for the capital building so high?’

‘When I found out that I was going to move, it cost me a fortune.’

This is because the population is overcrowded since it has flourished as the capital city for hundreds of years.

The Bay Area was better off, but there were no proper buildings there because it was a slum.

‘I found out in the commoner’s area, they were really eye-popping prices.’

‘With the little money I earned recently, I had to take out larger loans.’

When I asked Galman if there were any public buildings left in the capital, there were only buildings that could not be used as treatment centers or buildings that were inaccessible for patients to go.

“Christine turned out to be a poor soul too!”

‘I opened my hand to her despite my embarrassment, but I found only shocking facts.’

“Oh? I don’t have money because I’m the one who gave it up.”’

“My father caught me working as a healer, so I lost my financial support.”

“…Then what about paying for the education?”

“That’s right. I’m working at another treatment center to earn it.” 

“….….”

It was Raymond who couldn’t even get the education fee after finding out the situation.

‘No, I had to pay for her salary as well even if she’s in education. I couldn’t get a poor to work without pay.’

‘Damn it! It’s all because of the bad building owner aristocrats! I can’t believe they are asking such a high price! They’re as bad as those dwarves! You’re all dirty and cheap. I’ll be the owner of a building someday!’

Raymond has another goal.

‘I’ll be the best healer and collect all the buildings! I will never feel the sorrow of a homeless man again!’ Raymond shook his head.

Messages came to mind without knowing his inner thoughts.

‘I acquired a title and bonus level up!’

It was a happy message in its own way, but it didn’t quite catch Raymond’s eye now.

‘Whoa’.

He shook his head and decided to buy beef and go back.

Whenever he was upset, beef was the best.

It was after he trudged back to the treatment center that the atmosphere seemed a little weird.

‘Huh?’

Lao and Christine are staring at each other with serious looks. Meanwhile, the two cuties Hanson and Lindon had heavy-looking faces.

“What’s the matter? Lao, you’re just in time. You should eat with us. I got some meat.”

“Meat is not the problem now, brother.”

“Hmm?”

Raymond looked puzzled.

For reference, Lao is a salary grabber and has been in dire need of a high-ranking civil servant subject.

‘Whenever I asked him to eat meat with us, he always pretended as if he doesn’t like it, but does so in reality. That is why it is a bit surprising to have him react like that.

“We have an invitation from Soln.”

“……!”

Raymond’s eyes widened.

Soln!

It was a name he knew.

‘The most evil moneylender in the capital!’

At the same time, he was also a casino operator.

‘I don’t know how many people shed blood tears because of him.’

‘Why was he asking for me?’

[Dear Baron Penin,

Congratulations on Penin Treatment Center’s endless prosperity. I’d like to make a business proposition that could be of great help to you. Will you please take the time to meet me?

-Soln]

***

“Ignore it. There must be something going on,” Lao said sharply.

“Soln is famous for his tricks of approaching innocent people and stealing money from them,” Christine said.

“He’s the worst villain. I don’t want to say this, but our Duke Raven also suffered a lot from him.” Christine said with a look of shame.

“My brother-in-law, the heir to the family, fell for his temptation and spent a lot of money gambling.” 

That is still an ongoing case, actually.

Soln cleverly approached her brother, Alfred, and succeeded in plunging him into his casino.

He is stopping now because of the angry Duke Raven, but she doesn’t know when he’ll go and waste money again.

“You’d better burn such an invitation right away.”

“You are right, Princess. I’ll go and burn it.”

“Wait a minute.”

Raymond stopped them.

“Brother?”

“Master?”

Raymond struggled.

“Can’t we listen to what he is about to say at least? We don’t know exactly what it’s about.’

His circumstances were too harsh to not listen and simply ignore this just like that.

On the other hand, Lao and Christine responded that it was ridiculous.

“Brother? I’m sure he’s trying to play tricks!”

“It’s a scam indeed.”

Then Hanson, who was still, stepped forward.

“Everyone seems to misunderstand something. The Master is not about to meet Soln just for money.”

“Hmm?”

“What?”

“Huh?”

For your information, the last question belonged to Raymond.

Everyone, including Raymond, looked at Hanson as if they were asking what that meant.

“The master is trying to meet him to wipe away the blood tears of the patients who have suffered because of Soln.”

“.……?”
