[Experience points accumulated!]

[Experience points accumulated!]

[Level up!]

[Level up!]

This led to an explosive level up, but Raymond was so busy looking at the patient that I didn’t even have time to see such a message.

How many days have passed?

The patient was cut off for a moment.

Heavy rain began to fall.

Shoot!

“I don’t think it’s going to stop easily. But I think the battle will be lulling for a while” Raymond sighed at Lao’s words.

‘That’s a relief. I can catch my breath.’

As expected, he felt bad to see the soldiers dying.

Even tough he already had a fair share of patients dying, he could never get used to it. He always felt the worst.

‘If I had been better, I could have saved a little more.’

He always think about it.

‘I’ll reach the end of medicine one day and have the best of my abilities, so I won’t feel this way as much as I can.’ Raymond clenched his fist.

He knows it’s a tough dream.

Still, he will try his best.

The feeling of losing a patient was the worst.

He was resting for a while watching the rain falling after such a determination, but suddenly it became noisy outside.

“No! Go away!”

“Please! Please!”

It was the voice of a little girl!

Surprised, he went outside and found a girl crying and clinging to the guards!

“My mother is dying! Please heal my mother!”

“No! We can’t cure the people of King Droughton.”

The soldiers pushed the girl away with a bemused face.

It was pitiful, but to ask for a cure for a man from an enemy country. It was ridiculous.

Then, the girl found Raymond and knelt down.

“You’re a healer, aren’t you? My mom is dying! Please save my mom!”

‘A citizen from kingdom of Droughton?’

Raymond also looked troubled.

‘It’s not legally forbidden to treat people from the other country during the war.’

There is no clause in the law of the Cross League Empire that says not to cure an enemy.

There are many reasons, but the main reason is that healers belong to the national organization, the Healing Tower.

The Tower of Healing Code, which healers follow first, stipulates that patients should be treated regardless of nationality.

But it’s only a principled story, and few healers treat people from adversaries during war.

He doesn’t know what kind of criticism he’ll get if a rumor spreads that he cured a person from an enemy country.

‘In the worst case, beyond criticism, I should be falsely accused of having conspired with the enemy country.’

It wasn’t just a worry.

In fact, there are cases where healers who treated enemy soldiers with a good heart during the past wars were falsely accused of communicating with the enemy.

‘What should I do?’

When you think selfishly, it was wisest to pretend you didn’t know.

But is it because he witnessed the deaths of countless people until just now? It was difficult to do so easily.

It was a moment of consideration.

The girl burst into tears.

“Ugh. Please! Please save my mother. Please……!”

A desperate cry.

The atmosphere of the soldiers around became solemn.

Raymond’s face became heavy too.

When he was a child, he lost his mother too. Then, he went to a medical clinic just likethe girl today, he only received a harsh treatment.

It became more difficult to turn a blind eye to memories of the past.

It was that moment.

A quest has occurred.

[Exercise the Spirit of Philanthropy!]

(Medicinal Quest)

Precedence chart: Traditional Chinese Medicine Level

Difficulty: Medium

Quest Description: An enemy civilian has made a humanitarian request! You are a soldier and a doctor! Use the spirit of philanthropy!

Clear conditions: Treatment of enemy patients

Compensation: Bonus level up x2, additional 40 skill points

Perks: Respect of the people of the enemy country. A big unexpected reward

‘A big unexpected reward? What is this?’

Raymond tilted his head.

‘It’s not a simple matter anyway, man. If there’s a problem, I am going to take responsibility.’

I keep feeling it, but this system often make unreasonable demands.

‘I feel the same way and want to heal her. But it is not easy. There is a high possibility that someone will find fault.’

Although he made a lot of contributions, there were many people who were jealous because of him.

For them, this would be a good prey to bite.

‘There has to be some cause. There supposed to be a reason to treat people from an enemy country and not be criticized.’

No, if possible, it would be better if it were not just to avoid criticism. But also to give a better justification for this treatment.

Raymond struggled.

‘Is there any good justification? There is a justification that can treat the people of the enemy country and be considered rather good.’

It was the moment he thought about it up to that point.

A way came to mind.

‘There’s one! I just have to give this justification!’ Raymond thought to himself.

‘I just have to face the cause of treating the patient to stabilize the public sentiment of the enemy’s people!’

In fact, stabilizing the people of the occupied castle was a very important issue. This is because it is directly related to the defense of the castle.

If they riot inside or communicate with enemies outside, the castle can collapse in an instant.

Usually, they suppress the people with violence and fear, but it’s like holding a bomb that might explode at any time.

‘There are cases where they exterminate the people inside because they are worried about these problems. It will be enough justification.’

So Raymond decided to treat the girl’s mother.

***

Outside Bioton Castle.

Some figures were talking on the mountain overlooking the castle.

“It’s raining a lot.”

“Yes, sir.”

Among them, the scholar-type figure stands at the center.

“What’s the result so far?” asked the Marquis.

“We are at disadvantage, clearly insufficient. The castle is advantageous for defense, and the number of Houston Kingdom troops is too large. It will not be easy recapturing it.”

After finishing the report, the general spoke in a voice full of trust.

“But now that Your Excellency has returned, I have no worries. With Your Excellency’s wisdom, retaking Bioton Castle would be easier than turning over the palm of your hand.”

However, the Marquis of Durak only looked at the castle with heavy eyes without answering.”Your Excellency?”

“Houston’s greatest genius, Raymond has joined Bioton Castle.”

“Oh…….”

The marqueis pulled a cigarette out of the rain and bit it.

It was a cigar from the Free City Union.

‘I can’t believe we’re confronted so soon. Well, given his genius I’ve heard so far, it’s only natural to see through the strategic importance of this Bioton castle. With him, things won’t be easy.’

Durak lit a cigarette using flame magic. Durak surprisingly possessed magical powers.

“How would you be preparing if you were the commander from the Kingdom of Houston?”

“We will focus on defense, such as repairing the fortress wall, and preparing water-based warfare equipment.”

“Yes, that’s the usual way.”

Durak emitted cigarette smoke. The cigarette smoke was scattered in the rain.

“We will go the other way.”

“·…What do you mean?”

“If you knock on the strong citadel outside, it will only cause futile damage. On the contrary, we will attack from the inside.”

“….!”

The general looked at him with wide yes. He understood what Durak meant.

“Bioton Castle was originally a castle in our kingdom. The people of the Droughton still live there. I will mobilize people in the castle and destroy the castle from the inside.”

‘No matter how genius you are, Raymond, this scheme will be unstoppable.’

Durak was confident in this the operation.

It was natural.

This is because it is impossible for even the best genius to reverse the public sentiment in a short period of time, less than a few days.

“The moment this rain stops, we will join focus with the people inside to capture the castle. GEt ready.”

“Yes, sir!”

Durak dropped the cigarette on the floor and stomped on it with his shoe.

His two children’s lives are on his shoulders.

So he couldn’t lose.

***

Raymond left the treatment center late in the evening when everyone else was asleep.

‘There is no need to make a fuss and attract attention.

However, when he came up secretly, Elmud caught up.

“I’ll go with you, Master!”

“Are you okay?”

‘How did he know and followed me? Hadn’tt he slept until now? He was guarding the treatment center until this late at night?’

He asked Elmud to guard the treatment center. It was a mission given without much thought, but Elmud followed Raymond’s words by dedication his body and mind like a paladin on a holy war.

‘There is no need for him to work that hard. But is it still better for me to go alone?’

‘It will be less noticeable to move alone than if there are two people.

“Are you okay?”

“I am just going to get some fresh air, so I’ll go alone.”

“Well, that can’t be possible! We don’t know what kind of danger there may be, so I will protect you!”

‘No, I really don’t need it. Why can’t you understand me? You sweet potato!’

Raymond sighed obviously.

This guy was really a sweet potato guy.

“Actually, I have something to do secretly. For no reason, if two people move around, it is more noticeable.”

“Oh, if it’s such a problem!”

Elmud had a bright complexion.

“Let’s go!”

Elmud’s presence has disappeared. He has performed his stealth technique.

“.…….”

    • This is Marquis Aris’ vision, ‘Silver Screen’, to protect his lord while being unseen.

“……Okay, do as you please.”

“Thank you!”

It was a joyful answer.

Raymond then went with Elmud to the residence of a girl on Merison Street.

‘It’s not a house?’

During the battle, the house was destroyed, and it seemed like a shelter had been set up in a place like a hall.

“Healer!”

It was the girl he saw earlier. She must be waiting impatiently. She greeted Raymond with red eyes.

But the girl wasn’t the only one there.

As a temporary shelter, quite a few people were staying there.

“Who is it?”

“It’s the healer I told you about earlier! He really came to treat her!”

“From houston Kingdom?”

There was tension and fear on the faces of the evacuees.

Because it’s an enemy.

In particular, they are in a position of occupation, so they are bound to be vigilant.

‘Well, you don’t have to be afraid.’

First, I felt the need to relax.

First, I felt the need to relax.

“I didn’t come from the Houston Kingdom Army. I’m a healer who came on a personal capacity to treat a patient.”

“.…….”

Still, they did not ease the boundaries easily.

Everyone suspected that Raymond had some kind of agenda in mind.

So, an action that the occupiers would commit. Like assault, looting, or something like those.

Raymond then took off the robe’s hat he was wearing. Then someone recognized Raymond’s face and asked in a trembling voice.

“Elegant looks. Emerald eyes. Ho, are you Raymond by any chance?”

“Do you know me? Yes, I am Raymond.”

“Huh! The light of the Kingdom of Houston!”
