Chapter 278
#Doctor Player #278
“I can’t believe there were ancient ruins hidden in a place like this.”
The group made a surprised face.
There was an iron gate leading to the basement where it was hidden by the bushes.
“Sir Nahel seems to have found the entrance to this ruin by accident while being chased by the Black Darkness.”
The party that came with Rashid explained.
As a professional Pathfinder in the Peninsula Kingdom, he was able to find traces of Lord Nahel thanks to Iza.
“So, is Sir Nahel imprisoned within these ruins?”
Jude asked.
“It seems so. Inside is a message believed to have been left by Lord Nahel.”
The group opened the door and went inside.
A dark staircase headed endlessly down.
It was like a stairway down to hell, and Raymond Linden shuddered.
‘Ahhh. It’s scary.’
‘I hate Master! To come to such a dangerous place again! I hate scary things the most in the world!’
However, the other members of the group had a bloody resolve on their faces.
They glanced at Raymond.
Raymond’s face hardened infinitely. It was because I was scared, but the disciples naturally took it differently.
‘You’re contemplating how to save Lord Nahel.’
‘Because a master would jump into a pit of fire if he had a patient.’
Following Raymond’s example, the party burned their will.
‘It will be useful to Master!’
‘My lord, I will protect you!’
‘Master, I will follow your heart!’
‘Let us join the great work together with the prince!’
‘Meow.’
‘Ahh, I want to run away.’
For reference, the last was Raymond Linden’s idea.
Linden opened her mouth with a frozen face.
“But why were these ancient ruins created? awfully.”
Rashid, who was walking ahead, answered.
“The ancients made it for survival.”
“Survival?”
“Most of the ancient ruins that remain today are evacuation facilities built to avoid disasters during the era of destruction.”
An ancient forgotten story.
I listened to the story because it was unfamiliar to the general public.
“Ancient ruins are all very different depending on the purpose they were used at the time. Residential facilities, laboratories, treatment centers, and military facilities are all different. However, all the ruins have one thing in common.”
“What do you have in common?”
“It is dangerous. very.”
It was the moment to say so.
[Unidentified intruder found.]
A guardian appeared with a terrifying voice!
[Killed.]
Rashid glanced at the Guardian and continued his explanation.
“Because there are so many guardians and traps to prevent outside invasion.”
“danger!”
“Stand back, lord!”
The group moved in unison.
The moment Boneslon wriggles and tries to pull out his sword.
Rashid shook his head.
“it’s okay. I will handle it.”
Rashid’s emerald-colored castle shone faintly.
It was his unique ‘blood-blood ability’.
And he took something out of his pocket.
It was the first thing I saw.
It was a small iron device, but it was bent in an ‘L’ shape.
Of the group, only Raymond recognized the identity of the object.
‘Could that be it?’
clap.
Rashid pulled back something on the top of the iron thing.
Then, the front of the iron object was aimed at the monster.
“A bullet with brain properties.” Taang
with a muttering
!
There was a roar, and something shot out at the speed of light and pierced the Guardian.
Jigsaw Jigsaw!
The Guardian was engulfed in lightning, then stopped moving and collapsed.
Raymond asked in a surprised voice.
“That gun… … Are you?”
“You see. Yes, that’s right. Guns Among them, there are things called pistols. To be precise, it is a pistol-type magic tool, and various properties have been given to bullets. I am using it because it matches well with my blood type ability as a detective.”
gun!
Everyone in the group rolled their eyes in amazement.
They had heard of guns too.
“A new weapon of the Iron Empire?”
Iron Empire!
As enemies of the Crusader Empire, they are known to use guns.
‘But the guns they use are known to be very crude?’
In fact, the Crusader Empire did not care too much about guns.
It took an incredibly long time to reload and had a high rate of misfire, so soldiers using guns often became targets of massacre by knights who strengthened their bodies with mana.
Rashid shook his head.
“It is not an Iron Empire product. The guns they use are only muskets, so they’re not that sophisticated.”
“then?”
“This is from the outer continent of Jormund.”
The group looked surprised again.
Outer continent Jormund!
It is a continent across the great sea ‘Sea of Chaos’ and is as mysterious as ancient ruins.
The only place in the Crusader Empire to interact with Jormundo on the outer continent was the Peninsula Kingdom.
“Originally, these items are not easily available, but I was lucky enough to get them. Oh, it looks like we’re almost there.”
As he said, the stairs ended and a wide space appeared.
It was the beginning of the real ruins.
“This ruin seems to have been a training facility of some kind.”
Rashid said while looking at the phrase written at the beginning.
The meaning of the phrase in the ancient language was this.
[The crown of the test.]
Ancient languages were essential knowledge in aristocratic society. There was nothing to actually write, but everyone was learning basic words and characters as culture.
How do ancient languages survive? Thanks to a genius archaeologist excavated. So the young nobles who had to learn the ancient language cursed the archaeologist.
“What is the test about?”
“Looking at the phrase down here, I think it might be a test for therapists.”
Scribbled phrases were written on the walls.
Most were difficult to decipher, but there were some legible text.
[Only those who practice true healing techniques will be able to pass this ordeal.]
Anyone can see that it was a test for healers.
“By the way, where is Sir Nahel?”
“It seems that you have escaped the pursuit of the black darkness and entered the coffin of the test. You left this phrase as an auror.”
[For Maria.]
The party tilted their heads.
It was an incomprehensible phrase.
Only two, Bonslon and Jude, understood the meaning of the phrase.
Bonslon said.
“It’s a spell that Lord Nahel always memorized when he went to the battlefield.”
“That one?”
Jude said this time.
“Yeah, I heard that too. I was curious about Sir Nahel, so I asked him, and he said that the name Maria was the nickname of a woman he loved alone all his life. The reason Sir Nahel stuck to celibacy was because he missed that woman.”
The group’s faces darkened.
The strongest sword master in the country and the best military hero was a great romanticist.
“But is Lord Nahel still alive?”
Christine asked a realistic question.
It has been more than half a year since Sir Nahel went missing.
It was correct to assume that he had already died in the ruins.
But Rashid shook his head.
“It seems unbelievable. See the panel here.”
The panel was a video device that was transmitted with magical power.
There were words written on it.
[1 person taking the current test.]
1 person!
It meant that Nahel was still there.
“It’s a test related to healers, so it’s clear that you’re locked up without passing it.”
The group nodded.
Now the moment of decision has come.
Do you go inside to save Nahel or not?
Linden was the first to speak.
“Wouldn’t the stomach be dangerous?”
“… … .”
“Oh no. It’s not because I’m scared! Your Highness’ comfort is important!”
Of course, Lyndon, who said that, was in a state of desperation.
Because his story was never accepted.
‘I hate everyone!’
But something unexpected happened.
That’s what Christine said.
“Lord Lyndon’s story is also true. There may be some danger.”
“Isn’t it?”
“But Lord Lyndon. There is something Kyeong overlooked.”
Christine let out a deep sigh.
“There is no way Master will back down because it is dangerous.”
The group kept their mouths shut.
Yes.
Raymond is a great man who will carry oil on his back and jump into lava wherever there is a patient!
There was no way to retreat to ancient ruins.
“It’s wiser to think about how to protect the Master.”
“I will give my life!”
“Master, I won’t stand still either!”
“Meow!”
“… … As long as I have Bone Slon, I won’t be in danger.”
Everyone said it with a spleen face, and Raymond thought bewildered.
‘… … Could you ask my opinion too? I’m scared.’
However, it was already decided to enter.
Raymond sighed.
‘Isn’t it very dangerous?’
I don’t know if it’s a different job test, but it was a therapist job test.
So it seemed that he would not face a dangerous test.
And there was a reason to challenge these ruins.
‘There might be a great treasure hidden there.’
Raymond swallowed.
Ancient ruins were treasures!
If you do well, you will be able to achieve your dream of becoming super rich in one shot!
Having concluded, Raymond nodded firmly.
“I will try.”
So the party entered the coffin of the test.
“Do you know how these types of ruins work, Prince Rashid?”
“If you look at the case of the test coffin of the wizard class found in the Alpencer Kingdom, it is likely that it is composed in such a way that the more you go inside, the more tasks come out and you solve them.”
“What if I fail the test?”
“As far as I know it is impossible to try again after being eliminated.”
Raymond nodded.
‘It’s about the elimination process. It means not dying.’
After all, it didn’t seem like a particularly dangerous ruin.
But at the moment of such relief, a strange message suddenly came to mind from the system.
[A quest arises for your great challenge!]
‘A great challenge?’
Raymond tilted his head.
what’s the sudden
Something was cheap.
[Great Challenge]
(Quest for Medicine)
Grade of Medicine: ?? (Undetermined)
Difficulty: Extreme
Quest Description: I salute you for your great challenge! Extreme danger awaits you! Overcome all trials and take the first great step to save the world!
Clear Conditions: Challenge Success
Reward: Bonus Level Up x 3 Skill Points 200

Raymond was startled.
‘What is this quest?’
It’s just a therapist exam, but a great first step?
The content description was even more strange.
‘Are you in extreme danger? And the first thing to do to save the world?’
These were words I couldn’t understand.
What’s even more strange is the level of medicine and difficulty.
‘??rani? Moreover, the difficulty level is extremely high?’
So far, the extreme difficulty has only been played once.
It’s time to solve the epidemic spreading in the Lafalde region!
‘… … Are these ruins similarly difficult?’
The moment Raymond gulped his saliva.
A message was heard in the ears of the party.
[Welcome to the challenge of the coffin!]
[The ‘Lesser Doctor’ exam begins!]
[If you pass this exam, you will be qualified as a ‘Lesser Doctor’!]
Raymond widened his eyes. .
Doctor.
It was a familiar word.
‘Have healers been called doctors in ancient times?’
It was an interesting story.
Anyway, Raymond sighed.
I was worried after seeing the quest, but it’s a ‘lower doctor’ test. It was reassuring.
‘I don’t know exactly what level the ‘junior doctor’ refers to, but with my current skills, I should be able to pass.’
It was when I was thinking so.
A completely unexpected message came.
[Confirm who has great sublimity among the test takers!]
[Sublimity has exceeded the standard! Qualification for greatness is confirmed!]
[The ‘qualification to be the savior of mankind’ exam begins!]
