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

Chapter 78: Move (2)

To avoid recognition as a saint, he chose to accompany Euclid.

Indeed, he was the one who purchased the house and clothes.

He understood that his nationally recognized face would cause a significant commotion if he appeared in public.

When he took a brief respite from the castle, he appeared somewhat content, despite maintaining a stoic expression.

Contrarily, the faces of the two sisters were filled with unrestrained laughter.

Come to think of it, I dont know your names. What are they?

The two girls stared blankly at Ray as he spoke.

Their faces clearly expressed confusion.

We dont have names.

Nod, nod.

The younger sister nodded in agreement with her older sisters statement.

Goodness. How could someone not have a name?

And they didnt seem to feel inconvenienced by living nameless.

Ray looked at them with pity for a moment before an idea seemed to strike him, and he clapped his hands together.

Then youre Mary, and youre Chris. How does that sound?

Christmas was approaching soon.

Of course, that was in the modern world. This other world didnt grasp the concept of Christmas.

The two seemed to like their new names and smiled broadly.

Mary Mary The girl murmured, seemingly touched by her newly bestowed name.

Mary looked at Ray and then at her own hand.

She had received a house, clothes, and now a name.

But she had nothing of her own to give him.

She couldnt reciprocate for anything he had given her.

Mary spoke with a troubled expression.

How can I repay you for your kindness

Ray chuckled and dismissed her concern.

Kindness, what kindness.

But still I cant just take and take from you

Then, when I return later, just offer me free food. Thats sufficient, right? I eat a lot.

Euclid glanced at Ray at his words.

Eat a lot? He always ate just one meal at the mansion before heading somewhere else.

Mary nodded in agreement immediately.

Thats a given.

Euclid lowered his head and whispered softly.

Saint, you must return now.

Already?

It isnt proper for you to be outside the castle without a guard.

She looked at Ray, forgoing further words, her expression solemn.

Ray had resolved all the troubling matters in his own way, so there wouldnt be any problem if he left.

Ray waved at Mary and Chris.

Take care, Mary, Chris! Ill come to play again.

You must! You must come!

Hahaha. Understood.

The girls clasped their hands together in prayer as they watched Ray disappear.

Please come back.

She couldnt believe her current situation.

Just three days prior, she was on the brink of starvation, and now she had a house and a store in Selonia, and a man she held dear.

She thought that her current situation resembled the contents of a picture book she cherished as a child.

When the princess was in trouble, a prince appeared gallantly, defeated the villains, and splendidly rescued the princess.

Of course, it turned out that the prince was more of a villain than the villains, as he extorted money from them.

A large military force was moving through the forest in the middle of the night.

Even monsters avoided this army.

They knew instinctively that it was better to pretend not to see and leave these numerous humans alone, as clashing with them would only be detrimental to the monsters.

In the middle of them, there was a brown-robed figure riding in a carriage.

After taking a quick glance outside through a small window, he comfortably leaned back in his chair.

Three days to the Holy Kingdom

A knight-like figure responded to his muttering.

Yes, if we continue without rest, we should arrive in two days.

The brown-robed figure shook his head.

If we continue without rest, we will undoubtedly accumulate fatigue. It will be difficult to be in optimal condition for battle. That isnt good.

We will make sure there is enough time to rest.

They were headed towards the Holy Kingdom, carrying weapons and food. The Holy Kingdom was unaware of this fact.

If the five powers selected their elites and infiltrated Selonia, they might have even been able to kill the Pope.

The Holy Kingdom needed to be destroyed for their plan to progress, making it the first sacrificial lamb.

Above all, their belief was elsewhere.

The creatures behind the army.

Grrr

Squeak!

These creatures were monsters. A massive number of monsters.

It was unknown how they were tamed, but with this scale, a frontal war with the Holy Kingdom seemed possible.

By pushing with monsters and finishing off the weakened enemies with human troops, it was powerful enough.

And if strategy was added to that, the outcome was hard to predict.

How could the Holy Kingdom not know about the movement of such a massive army?

The reason was that there was absolutely no sound when they moved.

Whether they cast a spell or used a magical tool, footsteps could not be heard.

Of course, their appearance was visible as it was.

The man in the brown robe pondered deeply.

It would probably be at the border where the Holy Kingdom notices our existence.

Before entering Selonia, they would inevitably be spotted at the border.

However, he wasnt preparing for that fact because he was confident, and he knew that it wasnt just his force opposing the Holy Kingdom.

If such a massive army appeared at the border, the Holy Kingdom would hastily deploy their troops there.

Then, three powers would penetrate the weakened Holy Kingdom, while the remaining power would surround it to prevent anyone from escaping.

This would result in the complete destruction of the Holy Kingdom.

The surrounding kingdoms would be terrified, and all they would need to do was devour the frightened kingdoms.

If someone had heard this fact, they would have been shocked.

To consume the Holy Kingdom and have the power to consume other kingdoms as well?

Which force on the continent could possibly do that?

The strongest power, the Lesian Empire?

No, even that mighty empire didnt have the leisure to look around at the surrounding kingdoms after consuming the Holy Kingdom.

Then who were these people who planned and executed such an absurd operation?

The figure in the brown robe thought of the imminent showdown with the Holy Kingdom and laughed out loud.

Hehehe. I will be able to slowly savor the expression of that senile old man.

The air on the continent began to fill with the atmosphere of a great war.

Ray opened his eyes in the morning and immediately began his journey back to Gehel.

Although Oaks wounds might not have fully healed yet, four days had passed, so it should have been possible to forcibly use magic to draw out the blood.

As he began to run in earnest, Ray covered in half a day the distance that had taken him and Mary two days by carriage.

Of course, the people who saw him pass by during the journey began to pray to God, thinking that a ghost had appeared when they saw him running as if he were sliding.

When he arrived at Gehel, he was greeted by the same scenes that hadnt changed in the meantime.

Decaying buildings and the sight of delinquents. Even the pungent smell.

He didnt like anything.

Was this really the small trading town Gehel used to be? In the past, he had heard that it was a thriving trading hub, so how had it come to this?

The well-made harbor was falling apart, and despite the proximity of the sea, not a single fishing boat was visible.

Ill have to deal with this place later.

He shook his head at the sight of people who, seemingly without a place to live, were sleeping on the streets.

Pushing his thoughts aside, Ray hurriedly moved towards the Gehel Mountains.

Now he had to concentrate on one thing. He wasnt sure if he could still fix Eclairs eyes.

But if this experiment worked, he might be able to create an artificial lens.

An artificial lens cured things like cataracts with no problem.

He traversed the road he once traveled on and confidently entered a crudely constructed village.

From the entrance, waves of orcs rolled in.

Some orcs, who hadnt seen his face because they were out hunting four days prior, rushed at him.

Assuming he invaded their village, they didnt hold back with their fists.

What else could one expect from monsters? In response, he, too, clenched his fist.

Paaak- Paaak-

Chweeeek! Chweeeek!

Graaak! Chweeeek! Stop!

The familiar and comforting sounds he heard four days prior resonated from outside, and one by one, the orcs inside the village emerged.

They wished to see the face of the madman causing a commotion in their village, so they each grabbed their axes.

But they were startled when they saw the one hitting.

White hair. Blue eyes. It matched the appearance of the human they perceived as a messenger of death.

A terrifying human who even beat trolls. When he returned in four days, the orcs froze.

Recognizing a familiar face among them, Ray ceased hitting them and waved his hand.

Here, here. Come here.

Chweeeek

It seemed their spirits had weakened since their first encounter.

Was it due to his education?

Believing his educational zeal was truly unparalleled, he smiled wryly, but then he noticed an orc trying to stealthily run away.

Shall I go? Or will you come?

His mother used to say this when she scolded them. Shall I come to scold you? Or will you come?

Nothing could have been more terrifying.

The orc, with a slight seam showing in its belly, had no choice but to trudge towards Ray.

Its footsteps lacked strength.

Ray tilted his head as he watched the orc walk towards him.

Carrying an axe?

Thud- Thud-

Jingle-

In an instant, the orcs holding axes dropped them from their hands.

Naturally, the axes fell to the ground with a noisy sound.

The orc that received a transplant from Ray four days earlier was no different.

In fact, that orc even threw its axe far away with all its might.

Ray nodded in satisfaction at their actions and spoke to the orc.

Hey. Let me see your blood.

He smiled as he spoke.

The orc felt goosebumps on its back. How could someone say such cruel words to a monster?

Shouldnt the positions have been reversed?

His evil smile as he spoke was terrifying.

Although humans rarely visited the Gehel Mountains, and there hadnt been many chances to meet many humans, their instincts warned them.

This guy was different from the humans they had seen so far. This one was crazy.

But Ray didnt care and put the orc to sleep.

Hehehe. Itll be over soon if you sleep. Sleep.
