Doctor Player Chapter 480 – Side Story 28
“Did you look at me because you had something to ask of me?”
The woman was silent for a moment, as if pondering.
Then he answered in sign language.
[yes that’s right. I have a request for you, Your Majesty.]
“What is it?”
The woman stopped again.
It seemed like a difficult request.
‘It’s better if it’s a difficult request. I’ll be able to extort more money.’
Raymond glanced at the woman’s attire.
Pennin Treatment Center considers the patient’s financial situation when setting the cost of treatment.
The better you live, the more you get, and the less you live, the less you get.
So, the ability to find out how much money the other person has was essential.
‘It’s a modest outfit, but the finest fabric. It’s definitely a rich house. I can rip off a huge amount.’
Raymond swallowed at the woman’s smell of money and took on a more sublime expression.
“You don’t have to be difficult. My purpose in life is to help others. I will do my best to help with anything I am capable of.”
The woman was again deeply silent.
[No matter how difficult it is?]
To the unexpected question, Raymond tilted his head for a moment before replying vigorously.
“If you need any help, we will do our best to help.”
‘The more difficult the request, the better. I’ll be able to extort more money.’
Raymond smiled involuntarily, then said oops and closed his expression.
It’s not the time to laugh, but I laughed. It was an image-making mistake.
However, when the woman saw Raymond’s smile like that, she made a strange face.
[You are not lying when you say that you live to help others. Did you laugh that much because you were thinking of helping me?]
“… … Your ex feels the greatest happiness in the world when he is helping others.”
Raymond lied without spitting, then spoke again with a benevolent expression.
“So you can do any request. I want to help you.”
The woman paused and asked.
[I will ask you one question. Can His Majesty even help a former enemy?]
Raymond tilted his head at the sudden question.
‘Why are you asking this?’
Anyway, the answer is simple.
“of course. If my enemies ask me for help, I will. Only if the other person repents of the wrongs he has committed so far.”
It wasn’t a lie.
Raymond hadn’t hit the enemy blindly until now. He was merciful at times.
But there was a condition.
‘I have to become my hukou and receive a terrible price.’
Grand Duke Gideon, Marquis of Durac, Saint of Radiance, Tower Owner of the Tower of Healing, and so on.
They were enemies in the past, but now they have become his patrons.
[…] … I see.]
The woman bowed her head to Raymond.
[Thank you for your kind words today. I will engrave the words of His Majesty in my heart. Then I’ll just go.]
Then I turned my back and walked away.
‘Are you just going? Please?’
But the woman just walked away without saying anything else.
Raymond tilted his head.
It was a mirage-like encounter.
* * *
Waking up the next day, Raymond frowned.
After returning to the room, I asked the Iron Empire attendant about the woman I met yesterday, but unexpectedly, no one knew.
‘Strange.’
great beauty.
And while he was in the position of freely roaming the imperial palace, he was unable to speak.
I thought I would be famous, but no one knew. It was strange.
‘I don’t know. Isn’t that important now?’
There was no time to think leisurely about the unknown woman.
‘It’s finally the day to face the King.’
Raymond drew in a breath.
The fateful day has arrived.
Just then, the quest came to mind.
[Victory in the confrontation of destiny!]
(Ninjutsu Quest)
Goodness: Greatness Level

Quest Description: The King and Healing Showdown is ahead. This is an important duel that will decide the fate of the continent in the future! Use your skills to win the match!
Reward: Bonus level up x 10 Skill points 2000
Bonuses: Holy King
“… … ?”
Raymond made a puzzled face.
The quest itself was nothing special, but the perks were strange.
‘… … Why are perks king?’
Raymond blinked and read the contents of the quest again.
I didn’t see it wrong.
There was a Seongwang written on the privilege.
‘… … Does it mean that the head of the Holy King will be taken as a trophy?’
Raymond cleared his throat.
‘I don’t intend to cut myself.’
If he won the bet, he was going to make him confess what had happened in the Iron Empire.
That’s all Raymond has to do.
If the king’s sins are revealed, it will be up to the Iron Empire and Rose to decide how to punish the king.
After getting ready, they headed to the promised location in the imperial palace.
Before the conference starts, ‘notarization magic’ will be cast first on the fulfillment of the bet with the king.
“Wait a moment, Your Majesty! This old swordsman will serve you!”
“… … Ah yes.”
It was right in front of me, but it was only natural for the swordsman to follow me.
The problem was noisy.
“This Sword Saint! I will give my life to serve you until your destination! What are you doing quietly?!”
“Let’s keep the light! Let’s keep it!”
“Meow meow!”
The sweet potato trio shouted slogans.
‘Be quiet. Everyone is staring. It’s an imperial palace in a foreign country, so it’s embarrassing.’
I arrived at the detached palace, the meeting place, escorted by a trio of noisy sweet potatoes who were not helpful at all when needed.
Raymond took a deep breath in front of the palace.
it was tense There was a sage king in this.
‘are you okay. you can do it. I’ve prepared a double trick for you in case you lose.’
To be honest, Raymond didn’t see his odds of winning this bet as high.
Because the opponent is a sage king.
So Raymond prepared two tricks.
‘What if I can’t be fair? Winning is more important.’
Raymond, who thought it was modest, entered the palace, and those who had arrived earlier greeted Raymond.
Arch mages to do magical notarization.
And it was the Holy King and Rose.
“Meet the King Seong and the Emperor Rosetail.”
Raymond gave a simple example.
King Seong also showed his respect.
However, the reaction of the other, Rose, was strange.
He kept his mouth shut and his face hardened.
“Emperor Rosetail? Why?”
“… … I cannot accept this bet.”
“yes? suddenly?”
Raymond made a puzzled face.
It’s already over, so why are you saying that?
“The King Seong presented conditions that could never be accepted.”
“What is?”
[I’ll tell you that.]
The Holy King sent a magical voice.
Their eyes met blurryly over the veil.
[As a condition for this bet, I ask for the Elyos tradition, ‘Eat Me Alone’.]
“What if it’s Elyos? What is it?”
[The loser has everything the winner has. In other words, the loser becomes the property of the winner.]
“… … !”
Raymond’s eyes widened.
“No what is that?”
[This is literally. It is one of our long-standing traditions. The winner of the duel gets everything from the loser.]
‘What kind of barbaric tradition is that? Anyway, where is that!’
Raymond shouted inwardly.
It was expected that King Seong would place unreasonable conditions.
However, this was a ridiculous condition that exceeded even such expectations.
People around Raymond were also upset.
“Nonsense! You bastard! How dare you speak such nonsense to our great King of Light and Salt! If you don’t stop talking right away, I’ll challenge you to a duel with this swordsman!”
The Sword Saint gasped loudly, and Rose crossed her arms and glared coldly at the Holy King.
“It’s too much bullshit. No matter how much you say you are the ruler of the Holy Land, do you think you will accept these ridiculous conditions?”
[…] … .]
“It is called the same continent sipae and treats you as the same level, so don’t forget it. Compared to the Empire of the Crusaders and the Iron Empire, even a holy country is incomparably small. Do you think our iron empire won’t be able to trample on your kingdom if it wants to?”
Rose’s voice became violent.
He was so angry at the king’s words that he would take Raymond as his own.
The King Seong remained silent and then spoke in a magical voice.
[I understand why you react that way. It’s an unfair condition.]
“Ha, knowing that, you put up such a ridiculous condition?”
[But please understand. It’s hard to tell you exactly right now, but there’s a reason I put forward these conditions.]
A story I can’t quite understand.
Then, King Seong did something unexpected.
He bowed his head towards Raymond!
[please. There are circumstances that are difficult to tell, so please accept the terms of the bet.]
Raymond made a face that he couldn’t understand.
Despite the absurd conditions, the attitude is polite. As if it were a real request.
It was strange.
“… … Why did you make such a condition?”
[I can’t tell you that now. I’ll tell you when the bet is over.]
‘What is it?’
From the first appearance to this ridiculous condition.
From one to ten, I couldn’t understand everything about the King Seong.
‘What should I do?’
Rose and others still looked ridiculous.
However, Raymond thoroughly calculated the profit and loss.
‘Though I have nothing to lose.’
Even if he lost anyway, he had no intention of abiding by the terms of the bet.
As I thought before, notary magic does not necessarily have to fulfill the conditions of the bet.
Instead, if the conditions are not fulfilled, a pre-set ‘price’ will be paid.
‘Because I’ll stake the throne in return. If you lose, you can throw the throne without following the conditions of the bet.’
This was the first trick he prepared.
‘On the contrary, if I win, it’s more jackpot.’
Raymond swallowed his saliva.
Make the Holy King your property?
‘Then I can make all of the King’s property mine!’
Who is the King Seong?
He was the best healer on the continent.
And because he is an Elyos, he has a long lifespan and has already reigned as the best healer on the continent for 100 years.
That means he has accumulated wealth as a healer for an incredibly long time.
I couldn’t even imagine how much he had.
‘Maybe I can fulfill my super-rich dream with this one shot.’
