Doctor Player Chapter 464 – Side Story 12

Raymond didn’t just treat the Archduke, he also did ‘medical service’.

It started with the nobility of the West Principality.

“Your Majesty. Excuse me, but may I ask you to heal my daughter?”

It started when a nobleman summoned courage and asked for it.

The aristocrat’s daughter was a patient with an incurable disease that had no effect on the treatment of the steel tower, so she was helplessly watching her get worse.

Raymond, of course, did not refuse.

Even when he was the emperor, he did not refuse such a request as long as there was time.

For reference, Raymond had extremely little sleep time as he worked as an emperor during the day and treated patients as a healer at night.

‘Right now, as the emperor, I’m not even looking at work, so there’s nothing to be greatly burdened with.’

After treating the patient once, requests from others came in.

“Ho, maybe… … May I ask for treatment for my wife?”

“My father’s treatment… … .”

The nobles spoke with infinite caution.

Raymond was a foreigner and he was the emperor, so he noticed whether he could ask for something like this, but to the surprise of the people he asked for, Raymond accepted without hesitation at all.

“Healers shouldn’t turn a blind eye to sick patients. Of course, I will treat everyone.”

There was a reason why Raymond readily agreed.

First, as a healer, the duty toward the patient.

Healers have to treat sick patients.

Raymond never forgot that duty at any time.

And the second reason.

This was a more important reason.

‘Hehe, the hukou are coming on their own.’

What can I say?

They were all free ambassadors.

Starting with them, the Iron Empire’s treatment system will become a colony of Penin’s Healing Center, which will return with huge amounts of money in the future.

Raymond laughed greedily inwardly.

‘You can come. I’ll make them all into hogu! Ha ha ha!’

In particular, Raymond did not discriminate against the poor. On the contrary, he treated them even more diligently.

Originally, image making is more effective when you show this kind of human side!

‘good! very good!’

Unaware of Raymond’s dark speed, the people of the Iron Empire were ardently moved.

“There are people like that in the world.”

“Ah, the true emperor of poverty is the true light.”

“How can you be compared to the healers in the steel tower?”

It seemed that healers were rotten as well in the Iron Empire.

To the impression of the people of the Iron Empire, the three bastards… … No, the three Elmud Mien, including the swordsman, joined together.

“Hehe, you are talking about our majesty. Would you like to hear the story of this old man?”

“you are?”

“A nameless old man. My mouth felt itchy after hearing about Your Majesty. What you see now is only a speck of dust of His Majesty’s greatness.”

The swordsman made a noise with a flushed face.

“Your Majesty has done so many great things that now most of them are not even rumored. They just say that the light did the same thing and move on.”

“haha!”

“Do you know why we call your Majesty the Saint of Poverty in the Empire of the Crusaders?”

“Isn’t it because he is a saint who cares for the poor?”

People responded as if they knew that much.

The swordsman shook his head.

“The true meaning of that shining tinnitus is not just that. I became poor myself for the sake of others, so I got such an honorable nickname.”

“… … !”

“If I had to pick the poorest person in the Crusader Empire, it would be His Majesty the Emperor. Because the debt owed to others is enormous. Am I wrong?”

Elmoud Mien came out strong.

“That’s right! Ever since you were the Shadow Prince, Your Majesty has always served others and shouldered huge debts!”

“Your Majesty’s debt?”

“It is light!”

“Your Majesty?”

“It is the light of poverty!”

“Meow!”

In any case, Raymond’s status in the West Duchy rose in an instant, and Archduke Rembrandt, the monarch of the West Duchy, regained his strength.

Archduke Rembrandt formally bowed to Raymond with a drawn face.

“Greetings, His Majesty the Emperor of the great Crusader Federation Empire. I don’t know how to repay this favor.”

Archduke Rembrandt said in a trembling voice.

It was a face of sincere gratitude.

‘Of course I should be sincerely grateful. how much did i do Hehe, be prepared to offer a great reward.’

Raymond pretended to be solemn, hiding his greed.

“no. I just did what I had to do.”

“iced coffee… … After all, His Majesty the Emperor of Poverty. That’s what I heard. Still, I can’t just pass over this favor, so please allow me to repay the favor to Your Majesty.”

It was the answer I was hoping for.

But Raymond didn’t immediately reveal his snobbish side.

That was sewage.

I had to say what I wanted without looking like a snob.

‘But don’t go around too much. I have to ask for money.’

Raymond’s wish had been only one from before until now.

money! money! money!

How much shoveling have you done in the past?

I knew now that the answer was to openly ask for money at times like this.

“Then I will tell the Grand Duke what I want. Money.”

“yes?”

Archduke Rembrandt was startled.

A face that doubts whether he heard it correctly.

However, Raymond did not let go of his serious expression. It seems sincere.

“As for money… … Of course you can. You saved my life, so I’ll give you hundreds of thousands of penas.”

one hundred thousand pennies.

The treatment cost paid to the healer who treated the royal family was about that much.

So, talking about hundreds of thousands of penas for simple treatment was a very high price.

However, Raymond was not interested in such petty (?) money.

“No, not just that amount. I want an amount of at least 10 million pence or more.”

Ten million pennies!

No matter how much the healer said that the emperor’s patient was a grand duke, it was a ridiculously high price to ask for treatment.

The moment the Archduke was about to express his disapproval, Raymond said.

“It is for the people of the West Principality.”

“… … !”

The Grand Duke opened his eyes wide.

“What do you mean? Ah, as expected, His Majesty the Emperor of Poverty. You talked about money because you had a noble plan for the people. I am sorry for misunderstanding what is lacking.”

no.

It was a word that was brought out to eat a lot of money.

It was precisely for ‘money laundering’.

‘Originally, if you want to make a big deal out of it, you have to launder money through corruption.’

Raymond gave specific money laundering methods.

“I talked with the Emperor Rosetail about spreading medicine to the Iron Empire from now on. The Rosetail Emperor has decided not to spare his full support for this.”

“Oh, that is a joy. But why do you need more money? Is that too much money?”

“For the citizens of the Iron Empire.”

Raymond said to the puzzled Grand Duke.

“After looking at it for a few days, I noticed that many of the citizens of the Iron Empire were in need.”

The Iron Empire’s national strength surpasses that of the Crusader Empire.

The standard of living is also higher.

In terms of wealth, the Iron Empire was second only to the Confederation of Free Cities.

However, the gap between the rich and the poor was as wide as that. The proportion of poor people was also high.

“Even if medicine were spread, I was worried that such poor people would be able to benefit. I would like the West Principality to provide support to such people.”

This was Raymond’s way of laundering money.

Support for the poor will soon lead to an increase in his sales!

The Archduke was shocked and speechless.

“To think that even the people of the Iron Empire are worried about us. how… … Is His Majesty so noble?”

Raymond spewed out excuses at will.

“… … I want everyone in the world to be happy, even if it’s a foreign country. That is impossible, so at least I hope that no one will shed tears because they are in pain but have no money for treatment.”

It was like a dreamer.

But the Grand Duke did not dare to laugh.

On the contrary, I felt the thrill.

‘That’s the light of the Emperor of Poverty. Indeed, he deserves to be called the greatest giant of this era.’

The Grand Duke spoke carefully.

“However, the Western principality lacks financial resources to provide such support. I don’t know if it’s temporary, but it’s unreasonable continuously.”

That was right.

But Raymond had thought of that too.

“Soon the two empires will make peace. It will be like an alliance rather than hostile to each other like now.”

“… … !”

As long as Rose and Raymond were emperors, the two empires had no choice but to get closer.

“Do you know the meaning of those words, Archduke?”

The Archduke swallowed his saliva.

“You mean that direct trade between the two empires will begin.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

In the meantime, the Iron Empire and the Crusader Alliance Empire did not trade directly.

Of course, there was no trade at all.

Unauthorized smuggling was rampant.

Now, all of that smuggling will come into the sun.

“I plan to collect a small amount of tax on transactions between the two empires. It’s ‘welfare’.”

welfare.

It’s a concept that doesn’t exist in Ray Pentaina.

It was taken from ‘Medical Welfare of the Modern Earth’.

“As the Grand Duke knows, the gap between rich and poor is a chronic problem in rich countries. However, it is impossible to completely eliminate this gap between rich and poor. If so, we must at least put in place measures to protect the poor.”

“… … Is that a welfare tax?”

“This is a tax to be used for your poor.”

The Archduke’s eyes shook.

He was a monarch who cared for the people in his own way, but the story Raymond was telling now was an enormous story that he had never imagined.

‘A light that cannot be compared to anything like me. It’s absurdly noble and ambitious at the same time.’

A lofty ambition for the people.

Archduke Rembrandt had the thoughts of many people who had met Raymond.

It was electrifying.

On the other hand, Raymond smiled inwardly at the reaction of Archduke Rembrandt.

‘good. The response is good.’

Do you know Archduke Rembrandt?

That this is part of a grand scheme of money laundering?

After becoming emperor, this type of corruption became possible.

‘In this respect, power is good. Hehe.’

“Probably, the place where the Crusader Empire and the bishopric will take place is here in the West Principality. It is my request that the Archduke also collect the welfare tax and use it for the poor.”

Archduke Rembrandt nodded his head in admiration.

“You mean this? Of course we will.”

‘It was great!’

Raymond sighed in delight.

The Iron Empire’s treatment colonization plan was progressing steadily step by step.

‘Anyway, it would be nice if there was money falling right away instead of money to be earned in the future.’

Parting with the Archduke, Raymond thought to himself.

Now, the Pennin Healing Center was spreading its feet throughout the Crusades Empire.

The same goes for the Free Cities Association.

At this rate, 10 years at the earliest… … No, it was clear that in about 15 years it would reap huge profits.

But now it was in the red.

That’s huge too.

‘… … If it wasn’t for Rose-sama, it’s a deficit that would have been sold to a shrimp fishing boat.’

So Raymond was sometimes depressed.

I know that I will earn more money than anyone on the continent later, but I was very poor right now.

‘This time, too, it is a profit to be obtained in the future. i want to make money too Stop reporting the deficit.’

It was when I was grumbling inside.

Suddenly, Myen, who was next to me, growled.

[Kreur.]

“Mien?”

swish

And suddenly a small shadow crept through the window.

“… … !”

Raymond hurriedly backed away.

Someone broke in!

[Meow!]

“Be careful, Your Majesty!”

“Let’s keep the light!”

Three bastards waiting… … No, the swordsman, Elmud Mien, surrounded Raymond.

And when they saw the identity of the shadow that came inside, they gave a puzzled look.

“bat?”

The Sword Master spoke in a voice full of vigilance.

“Be careful, Your Majesty. It is not an ordinary bat.”

“then? monster?”

“Monster… … Rather… … .”

Then a startling thing happened.

[Are you the emperor of poverty?]

The bat spoke like a human!

Raymond finally recognized the identity of the opponent.

“Beasts!”

[…] … No.]

Dig!

With the light, the bat changed into a human form.

It was a cute girl with a calm expression. The moment he saw the sharp fangs, Raymond was able to recognize the opponent’s true identity.

It was a vampire!
