To Hell with Being a Saint, I’m a Doctor
Chapter 531

Episode 531: Movement in the Shadows (2)

The castle of Celia has not announced the news of the saint’s resurrection to the outside world yet.

It was because it could be seen as a diplomatic performance if a foreign country knew that the funeral was prepared within a short period of two days and that the saint was alive from the beginning.

The royal family’s actions were cautious because it could cause the people’s resentment.

Ray woke up early in the morning.

“It feels like I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in a long time.”

Stretching out, I drank with Harpman and drank a cup of tea.

Knock-knock-

knock and the maid’s voice came from outside.

“I have brought clothes for you to change into and water for you to wash.”

“Come in.”

After his permission was given, two maids entered, carrying clothes and basins that were large enough to fill their hands.

When they met the saint they had only heard about through rumors, their saliva went down the drain.

He must have just woken from sleep, but he was fairly tidy.

Her soft gray hair looked undisturbed at all.

Then, naturally, our eyes met.

“W I’ll come back before the banquet opens.”

Two maids blushed at Ray’s mysterious appearance and hurriedly left the bedroom.

As Ray looked at the steaming water in the basin, the idea of washing lightly with magic flew away.

Sometimes washing yourself with warm water will be a change of mood.

Splatter –

He roughly splashed water on his face and rubbed it with his hands.

His face was so rough that it was impossible to see him as a saint who had nobility in his body.

After carefully wiping here and there, he wiped the water with a refreshing expression.

“Now is the time to start collecting information. Where do you want to go?”

There was quite a bit of time left until the banquet was held.

In the meantime, he intended to search for nobles.

Halfman would never be alone in researching information about the Black Room.

The small kingdom alliance and their background have already been widely spread around.

No one else and he made it.

‘I would be lying if I said I didn’t investigate independently because I’ve been spreading as much information about the Black Room as possible.’

So it was necessary to travel around the country a little.

A chance to tinker with their defenses.

Wouldn’t it be killing two birds with one stone if you could even get information about the Heukbang?

Could it be that there is not one or two pieces of information obtained despite all this?

You might get a lot of unexpected information.

If there is a problem, it is whether it is allowed in other countries.

“I can make a few magic circles and fix the walls a few times.”

Ray also had no intention of wanting it for free.

Give and Take is the justice of the world.

Although you can subdue it by force, you do not follow it with your heart, so it may cause setbacks in future relationships.

It’s difficult when that happens.

The more friendly kingdoms, the better, as it was a situation where no one knew what the black room would do in the future.

Thinking of the honored aristocrat to use as the first button (?), Ray couldn’t help but shook his head.

“Here, I have no choice but to choose the Kleiman Kingdom.”

It is relatively close to the kingdom of Celia compared to other countries, and it was the first kingdom to come to when something happened, so I think it is friendly to me.

Even if things didn’t go well, he was thinking of going to the Kleiman Kingdom once.

Having made up her mind, Ray rose from her seat.

Speaking of Sword Master Gregory, he is a master swordsman who is recognized in places where swords are revered.

He was concentrating on training the swordsmanship of the knights in order to look good in the kingdom of Celia where the saint is.

“The tip of the sword shakes. Only then will I be able to dig firewood.”

The knights stuck out their tongues at his strict swordsmanship instruction.

However, there are not many opportunities to receive the teachings of a sword master in a lifetime.

So, while gritting my teeth, I tried to follow his guidance.

Gregory was proud of the fact that Celia’s knights were doing a map that was difficult for even the knights of their own country to follow.

“I like the guts alone.”

However, there was a sense that the level of the knights was lower than that of other countries.

It was self-evident that they would be pushed back when war broke out.

‘As a trade broker, it was a kingdom that didn’t need to develop any particular strength, so it can’t be helped that the soldiers’ skills are deteriorating.’

Since it was enough to earn funds through intermediary trade, there would have been no need to invade from the past.

Even though all members of the knights were made up of sword experts, they would not be able to match other countries’ knights in mana handling proficiency.

And that big gap will be directly linked to life and death when it matters.

“Abandon the idea of resting today! I will turn you guys into decent knights!”

“thank you!”

“thank you!”

The knights raised their swords again.

Ray watched them sweat from afar.

“It’s hot just looking at it.”

I didn’t even get close, but when I saw the heat rising, I could tell that the intensity of the training was serious.

Well, if it’s fortunate that I didn’t get slapped on the cheek for understanding the feelings of the sword like myself, I can say it’s fortunate.

Ray passed the time by staring at the gymnasium.

It looks like he will be training more for the next few hours, so he lays down on his seat and chews on beef jerky.

There is nothing more fun than watching a fight in the world.

Watching Gregory deal with two or three knights in the form of sparring was interesting in its own way.

Certainly, the master’s level was not for nothing, and he overwhelms the knights by lightly blocking the swords flying from all directions.

“Come to think of it, the Kleiman Kingdom was even called the Sword Kingdom in the past, right?”

sword kingdom.

It is an alias derived from the Age of Swords, which is said to have existed before the Age of Magic in the past.

It means that it is a kingdom that reveres the sword and holds the swordsman sacred.

Gregory’s sword skills were excellent enough to claim himself as the strongest in such a place.

Someday, if you put Zeke together, it will taste quite good.

I watched until all the matches in the gymnasium were over, and the sun was already rising in the sky.

Gregory said to the knights, wiping his sweat.

“Let’s end here for today. You guys, don’t forget what you felt in Dalian today and review it.”

“Yes, I understand!”

“thank you!”

Let’s turn our backs after being greeted by the knights.

There stood a handsome young man with a smirk.

‘Since when?’

Gregory, embarrassed by not feeling the presence, set an example.

“Meet the saint.”

“I saw him teaching the knights. I’m sorry I felt like I peeped on you unintentionally.”

“How can there be a gym if you can’t even see Dalian? Please don’t mind.”

Gregory, who hastily wiped away his sweat, threw a joke and asked,

“But what is the Holy Son doing to me? He doesn’t intend to receive swordsmanship instruction like the knights do, so there’s no corner to point out.”

Even after I said it, I laughed awkwardly as if it was funny.

He was as warm as any other man, so Ray also laughed.

“I want to tell you a little story.”

“Ugh. The Holy Son says he has something to tell me, so I’m afraid.”

Even as he speaks, his eyes are constantly watching his reaction.

Even though he has reached the highest level as a swordsman, he has the appearance of a strategist.

‘It’s understandable that he is trusted by King Clayman.’

If he hadn’t had subordinates like Hafman and Zeke, he would have coveted himself.

“I wish we had moved places. There are many ears to hear here.”

After saying that, Gregory nodded, realizing that it was no small matter.

“If you don’t mind having my own private room, I will prepare it for you.”

“great.”

Ray added.

“Please call the Marquis Zemun as well. It will be difficult for Sir Gregory to decide alone.”

Those words made Gregory a little nervous.

“All right. I’ll have it ready by an hour.”

“thank you.”

Gregory disappeared without even wiping his sweat.

It would be to visit the Marquis Zemmon, who was put on probation.

‘It’s not a matter of persuasion. All that remains is how much information the Kleiman Kingdom has.’

If there was little or no information about the black room or coalition, they had to negotiate appropriately.

It wouldn’t be bad to be promised that you would preferentially provide yourself with the information you can get in the future.

As much as the Black Room is pressuring the continent.

Ray intended to use the entire continent to reverse the pressure on the Black Room.

“I’ll make you feel the pain of how great the punishment is for hurting someone who is quiet.”

he laughed sinisterly.

* * *

Marquis Zemmon, who had been brought to Gregory without knowing why, blinked.

“Meet Seongja Seo.”

“Goodbye. Forget about the unpleasant things that happened before and have a good conversation.”

He said that, but there was poison in his eyes, enough for the Marquis to know that there was an aftermath.

Gregory cleared his throat.

“Hmm. I have summoned the Marquis as you wish. You said you have something to tell me, so I will listen.”

He rushed out without speaking back.

For Lay, who knew that there would be a war of nerves in her heart, it was inevitable that Kim would lose steam.

But that’s what he got wrong.

Gregory and Marquis Zemmon were quite nervous.

The opponent is the one who destroyed the Demonic Realm.

Depending on what he decided, the Kleiman kingdom could rise or fall.

As such, Gregory was careful not to get on Ray’s nerves as much as possible.

Ray was the only one in the room who thought, “You seem to like direct conversations.”

without even having a sip of tea.

Ray brought up the topic in earnest.

“I want to negotiate with the Kleiman Kingdom.”

“If you’re talking about negotiating…”

He asked cautiously at those words.

Ray continued.

“I want you to give me information about cooperation with the war that may happen and information about the coalition with the Black Army as a top priority.”
