Doctor Player Chapter 318
Raymond was uncomfortable with that terrible nickname, but he didn’t show it.
“Can I ask you one question?”
“yes.”
“Excuse me, but please answer sincerely.”
Raymond made a puzzled face.
Gideon’s emerald eyes shone faintly.
‘Is it right that it shines? Does it feel a bit different?’
Anyway, Raymond nodded.
“Yes, I will. Please speak.”
“Please answer truthfully.”
“Yes, I will.”
Oddly enough, Archduke Gideon asked a question.
“Your Highness wants the throne of the Peninsula Royal Family?”
“… … !”
Raymond was taken aback.
Suddenly, a huge question came up.
It was a hump.
Depending on the answer, the attitude of Grand Duke Gideon will be determined.
Fortunately, Raymond has already decided on the answer to this question.
‘I don’t intend to fight useless with you. I just want to make it into a hukou and suck its spine.’
“No, I do not wish for the throne.”
“Why? Are you saying you don’t want the throne of the Great Peninsula?”
“Because I know my shortcomings.”
‘You don’t want to give me that? I can’t even give up the throne of the Houston kingdom.’
Grand Duke Gideon’s eyes sank deeply.
“Then why did you come to Peninsula Kingdom?”
Raymond thought for a moment.
because of money.
This was his sincerity.
But I couldn’t answer that.
Instead, he said:
“As a healer, I came to help the sick and the people in a small way.”
Archduke Gideon looked straight into Raymond’s eyes.
As if asking if it was real, Raymond nodded.
‘It’s not a complete lie.’
“This is mother country. I came because I wanted to fulfill my mother’s will, though it was insufficient.”
Gideon was silent for a long time.
Raymond nervously waited for him to open his mouth.
“Amazing.”
And Archduke Gideon sincerely admired it.
“The story Your Highness told me will come true.”
Gideon left those words and disappeared.
Raymond sighed.
‘Do you think I passed it well?’
Fortunately, that seems to be the case.

However, Archduke Gideon was having an unexpected conversation with Marquis Macfield.
“How is it? To see with the ‘eyes of truth’.”
eyes of truth.
With Archduke Gideon’s blood power, he was able to determine the truth of what the other person was saying.
Contrary to what is known to the world as a person with the ability to embody flame, Grand Duke Gideon also possessed the ability to see through blood.
‘It’s a condition, but it’s a tremendous ability.’
Marquis Macfield thought.
condition.
The opponent had to tell himself twice that he would tell the truth.
And Raymond had just said he would tell the truth twice, making him a target for detection.
“It didn’t look right.”
“yes? What do you mean?”
“I couldn’t see through to the extent of the latent chaos.”
The Marquis Macfield made a surprised face.
Grand Duke Gideon was one of the strongest blood manpowers in existence. But is it not detected?
“There was a mix of lies and truth, but it’s hard to tell them apart.”
Grand Duke Gideon thought.
don’t want the throne
It was difficult to ascertain the authenticity of this statement.
‘It was definitely a lie to say that he didn’t want the throne because of his lack of ability.’
got it right
Raymond refused the throne just for money.
However, thanks to Archduke Gideon, he had a useless misunderstanding.
‘then… … The fact that he doesn’t want the throne is also likely to be a lie.’
There were grounds for that judgment.
‘You care so much about the people. He must be thinking of ascending the throne for the sake of the people.’
‘I’m here to help the sick and the people in a small way.’
What Raymond said.
In fact, even this has not been accurately identified.
But it will be true.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked for something like this.
‘Please make sure that there are no sacrifices by ordinary soldiers in future hunting competitions.’
Archduke Gideon laughed.
How big of a heart for others can you ask for something like that?
It was difficult to even imagine how noble he was.
Grand Duke Gideon took a moment to organize his thoughts.
Since the eyes of truth do not operate accurately, we have no choice but to judge the facts by estimating on various grounds.
The heart for others is the truth.
So what Raymond wants.
‘He’s aiming for the throne for the sake of the people.’
Grand Duke Gideon made that final decision.
He shook his head.
‘This is my first time with such a person. To wish the throne only for the sake of others. Aren’t they truly saints?’
Grand Duke Gideon met many people called saints.
saint of brilliance.
The Crimson Saint.
King Seong.
They are adults representing each continent.
But even they weren’t like this.
‘Rather, they are great men with a dark inside.’
Archduke Gideon laughed.
Most of the so-called adults were like that.
But today, for the first time, I met such a sincere adult.
“Anyway, I’m glad you passed. It will be worth using in the future.”
The Marquis Macfield blew his whistle.
I didn’t think to be particularly wary of Raymond’s aspiring to the throne.
After all, Raymond, who is like an ant, wants the throne, so there will be no threat to them.
‘The harder we struggle, the better it will be for us.’
Marquis Macfield thought naturally.
Kneeling Raymond underneath.
That was the purpose of their anti-aircraft faction.
“Let’s keep a close eye on it from now on.”
“Yes, I will.”
That’s how the conversation between the two ended.

After that, by the order of Archduke Gideon, general soldiers were banned from participating in hunting.
Instead, ordinary soldiers were to serve as guards for non-combatant civilians attending the banquet in a safe zone.
“It’s easy to chase after soldiers.”
“That’s right. The excitement has gone down.”
The nobles were dissatisfied, but did not openly protest.
Because it was Grand Duke Gideon who gave the order.
However, I wondered why Grand Duke Gideon had given such an order, and the reason soon became clear.
“That’s His Highness Raymond’s will.”
“… … !”
“His Highness was concerned about the soldiers, so he asked me.”
After the story spread, eyes focused on Raymond.
Some aristocrats expressed their dissatisfaction with Raymond for extinguishing the excitement of the festival, but thoughtful nobles looked at Raymond with surprised eyes.
‘The rumors that have spread so far have been true.’
‘It’ll be worth keeping an eye on in the future.’
It was confirmed by this incident.
That Raymond is really a person worthy of an adult.
Of course, this was all Raymond’s intended reaction.
‘Good! In this way, step by step, we are advancing towards the goal of becoming super rich.’
His goal is to become the most successful in the Peninsula Kingdom and make money.
In order to do so, this kind of topicality and fame were essential.
‘Now, if I treat the patients diligently for the rest of the period, it’s over.’
After that, the hunting competition proceeded without any problems… … It didn’t happen.
Unexpectedly, terrifying things were going on somewhere he didn’t know.
* * *
A shallow mountain overlooking the Lanfield Forest where the green hunting competition takes place.
Unidentified people wearing masks were having a dreary conversation.
“The blood of the demons is vibrating. I think we can start.”
“Yes, make sure to proceed. I can’t tolerate failure anymore.”
Among the masked ones, there was one surprising person mixed in.
‘Maestro’!
The last time he failed in the Kingdom of Katal and got into the worst trouble, he appeared here.
It wasn’t just the maestro.
The masked people around them were the black magicians belonging to the ‘Followers of Destruction’.
Something terrible was going on.
“But there is one problem. The sacrifices of ordinary soldiers are too small.”
“Hmm?”
“Because of Prince Raymond. Too few people died because he healed ordinary soldiers.”
The masked black magicians said with troubled faces.
Now they were about to perform some kind of terrible black magic.
To do so, many sacrifices were required in the hunting ground, but the number of deaths was much lower than expected.
It was because of Raymond.
“I spyed on it and found out that Prince Raymond not only treated the wounded, but also made ordinary soldiers out of the hunt. As if he had predicted what we were going to do.”
The Maestro frowned.
‘Is it him again?’
Raymond!
Raymond!
It was a boring name.
The one who made him lose everything he’d ever built.
‘I will definitely pay this debt someday.’
“What if I run out of blood to use as a sacrifice?”
“It seems inevitable that we will have to change the type of technique.”
“With what kind of technique?”
“I will use a technique that focuses on a few top-notch knight mages.”
Upon hearing the plan of the black magicians, Maestro brightened his face.
“Very well.”
“Maybe this could have a bigger effect.”
“But what if old Raymond cheats again?”
the maestro asked anxiously.
Maestro was on the verge of becoming neurotic just hearing Raymond’s name.
“Do not worry. No one can solve this situation.”
The sorcerers said meaningfully.
“There is only one way to solve this situation. It’s just ‘capturing’ the top-notch cursed people without any sacrifice.”
It was a terrible story.
Do you have to ‘capture’ the strongest without sacrificing?
It was incredibly difficult and virtually impossible.
“After today, the Peninsula Kingdom will face catastrophe.”
A terrifying voice spread like that.
* * *
That wasn’t the only dark cloud that came over Raymond.
Knights and wizards began to wander around.
‘If the other rumors are true, could it be that there is a rumor about the heavenly body?’
‘Is there a rumor that he is a born wizard?’
Both knights and wizards wanted to confirm Raymond’s true identity!
“Your Highness, could you possibly see your sword?”
One hot-tempered knight did just that.
Sunens.
As a knight of the anti-aircraft faction, he was a top-notch sword expert.
Other knights and wizards also looked impatient to confirm the rumors.
Raymond frowned.
As expected, troublesome knights and wizards rushed in as expected.
