Doctor Player Chapter 382

The Minister of the Kingdom of Saint Rosette, who accompanies Phione, opened her eyes in amazement.

Pione heard rumors about Raymond and wanted to meet him in person, so she insisted on telling her grandfather, Stephen III.

Stephen III unexpectedly granted the request, but there was a reason.

‘Take a look at Prince Raymond yourself.’

It’s because Pione’s ability to see people is so outstanding!

Even at a young age, she was intelligent enough to be called a genius, and had a talent for instinctively seeing through the essence of people.

So Stephen III said to Pione:

‘If it’s you, you’ll be able to find out if Prince Raymond lives up to the rumors.’

Recently, Saint Rosette Kingdom has been paying close attention to Raymond’s actions.

The reason, of course, was the election of the emperor.

He pointed to Raymond as the only hope against the saint of brilliance.

However, this election to the throne was different from other times.

The fate of the Crusader Alliance Empire will depend on who ascends to the throne.

So, Stephen III had Pione check Raymond directly.

Fione took out the doll and held it.

“It sure looks noble, but… … It feels like a strange lie.”

“lie… … What?”

“huh.”

‘I’m only working for patients and people. I think their smiles are worth more than billions of dollars.’

It’s an amazing story… … Why?

Why does it sound like a lie?

‘… … According to rumors, that couldn’t be the case.’

Princess Fione tilted her head.

I didn’t judge well.

Given the great things Raymond has done so far, he must be sincere.

Some kind of scam… … It smelled of something pretentious, if not to the point of being a thief.

‘… … is not it? Did I feel wrong?’

Fione frowned, not quite knowing.

Looking at her like that, the substitute said.

“Let’s watch a little longer. If Prince Raymond fits the rumors, he will conquer this ruin as well.”

Fione nodded.

It was.

If Raymond succeeds in conquering the ruins, the impression she has just received will be a misunderstanding.

* * *

Raymond drew in his breath.

It was because of Orbia’s appearance.

It was more beautiful and alluring than the last time we met.

She grinned.

“I was especially careful in anticipation of meeting Your Highness. The marriage proposal from the other day is still valid.”

“… … .”

Raymond broke out in a cold sweat.

No matter how beautiful Orbia was, he had no intention of marrying her.

‘I have no intention of sharing the money I earn with anyone.’

Raymond firmly thought that and shook his head.

“sorry. I want to live only for the sick and the people now. We are going to conquer the ruins right away, so could you explain?”

Fortunately, Orbia didn’t approach Raymond’s impregnable wall any more difficultly, as if he had brought up the story with great expectations.

“It is as I explained before. All you have to do is enter the stairs next to the dam, and all other gateways have already been conquered, so you only have to challenge the last one.”

“Do you know what kind of gateway the final gateway is?”

“I don’t know. Since the founding of the Free Cities Alliance, no one has passed the qualification test for the ruins.”

Orbia’s eyes lit up.

“But I believe it will be different today. Your Highness is unlike any saint I’ve ever met.”

Since he was looking forward to it with all his heart, Raymond made an awkward face.

‘I’m sorry that you seemed to be really looking forward to it. But I can’t help it.’

“All right. Then I will challenge you right now.”

The preparations have already been completed.

There was no reason to waste time.

Orbia nodded.

“Yes, I will join you too.”

“You mean the Duke too?”

“of course. It’s the work of our Free Cities Alliance. Moreover, the last gateway has an unlimited number of participants. Everyone who came with me will be able to help Her Highness.”

Raymond nodded.

‘It doesn’t matter how many people are together. I’ll be eliminated right away anyway.’

But Raymond thought good.

‘To renew (?) my image, the more people watching my elimination, the better.’

So the moment finally came when we entered the ruins.

As expected, many people wanted to join him.

The disciples, of course, wanted to be with Raymond (except Linden)… … .

“Your Highness, this life, your teacher, will be with you.”

“Hoho, you don’t have to do that. This Raina will stand by Your Highness.”

It was natural for the two of them to come out like that, and Jude and others were also together.

Unexpectedly, Princess Pione also decided to join them.

“The princess too?”

“Ah, I’ll go near the gateway and just watch it.”

She blushed with an innocent expression.

“As a fan, I want to see the prince in action.”

Raymond pondered, then nodded.

‘It won’t be dangerous anyway.’

There was no possibility of a dangerous accident because it would only be evaluated and immediately eliminated and returned.

Even if there really was an unexpected incident, there was no worry because the side of those who were together was overly strong.

‘Rina-sama’s teacher came too, right? A three-stringed arc mage, one of the best in the Mage Tower?’

And the representative of the escorts accompanying Princess Fione was also a master of two swords.

Not only in Orbia, but also in the Tower of Healing, 2nd class Saints came.

This was enough power to deal with the dragon.

‘hmm… … I’m a little sorry for letting such great people go in vain.’

Raymond cleared his throat.

Well, he was just spreading rumors and never urged me to come and see, so there was nothing to feel guilty about.

“Then I will enter.”

Guided by the Knight of the Free Cities Alliance, the party entered the ruins.

Upon entering, an underground space surrounded by an iron wall appeared, where traces of ancient times were clearly visible.

“This is a gateway to all conquered. You can go down to the lowest floor.”

After going through several rooms and stairs, we finally arrived at the final gateway to our destiny.

It was a large open space.

“here is?”

Raymond and the others made strange faces.

There was a wide open space inside the iron outer wall.

And in the middle was a magic circle.

“That magic circle?”

“It is an ancient magic tool that determines the qualifications of your challengers.”

Orbia nodded.

“When you get on top of that magic circle, the magic tool is supposed to judge the challenger’s qualifications.”

Raymond inspected the magic circle.

‘It doesn’t look like anything. Let’s go up and finish.’

And let’s go up to the magic circle! And light began to emanate from the magic circle.

“Oh oh!”

The people who came with him let out a surprised cry.

It was a very mysterious sight.

The mechanical sound of the ruins echoed in the air.

It was only heard by Raymond who entered the magic circle.

[We evaluate the qualifications of those who challenge the ruins.]

‘Yes, finish it quickly.’

Raymond thought lightly.

Light emanated from the magic circle, but I didn’t feel any bad energy.

Rather, it feels warm as if it is piled up in a cozy energy.

‘Most of the ruins were warlike, but it’s different here.’

But Orbia said something unexpected.

“The demon magic circle glows red? You’ve never had anything like that before?”

“… … ?”

Raymond narrowed his eyes.

Come to think of it, the magic circle was shining red.

‘What color is it originally?’

The people of the Free Cities Association were perplexed and conversed among themselves.

“Didn’t you say that the magic circle originally glowed blue, Your Highness, Duke of Orbia?”

“that’s right. When I looked at the literature, there was never a case where it glowed red, right?”

At that time, a short person wearing a robe spoke.

It was a three-line arc mage who was said to be Raina’s teacher.

“Sublime magical power.”

“A noble magical power, Master?”

Rina gave a surprised look.

Inyoung, wearing a robe, nodded.

“Yes, you can feel the sublimity in that magic circle. Something strange is happening.”

A whopping 3 points.

These were the words of an Arch Mage, one of the greatest in the Mage Tower.

People looked at Raymond in amazement, and Raymond, the person in charge, couldn’t grasp the situation and kept blinking his eyes.

‘No, what’s happening?’

Then an unexpected message popped up.

[A quest comes to mind before the great challenge!]

[The great challenge]

“… … .”

Raymond looked at the message and was silent.

‘… … what? What is this message?’

It was full of ominous phrases.

‘An extremely difficult and dangerous challenge?’

Even the difficulty level was ‘miracle’.

‘It’s a miracle. What difficulty is this?’

Raymond swallowed.

The hardest difficulty so far was ‘Special’.

Crazy difficulty, almost impossible.

But what about miracles?

‘Are you saying you have to make a miracle happen to clear it? No, but didn’t I fail the qualification test? Why is this message?’

Raymond was completely taken aback.

I hurriedly tried to get down from the magic circle, but it was too late.

I couldn’t move even a single step, as if something was holding my foot firmly.

And a voice rang out in the air.

It was a voice that only Raymond could hear.

[Determine the qualifications of the challenger.]

[Analyze the nature of the soul to determine the nature of the challenger!]

[The nature of the challenger is ‘greed’! Confirm that the challenger has a high level of Greed.]

Greed!

The ancient ruins figured out Raymond’s greed that no one noticed until now!

‘As expected, ancient ruins. You made the right decision.’

Raymond made a relieved face.

I was anxious to see the quest message, but it was really fortunate.

‘Of course I’m going to drop out, right? Let’s get out of the ruins quickly. It’s kind of ominous.’

But then a voice was heard.

[Find out the challenger’s behavior in the past!]

Dig!

A warm light enveloped Raymond’s body once.

It’s like trying to figure out what kind of life I’ve been living so far.

‘uh?’

Raymond flinched momentarily.

I had a bad feeling about something cheap.
