Doctor Player Chapter 175

Originally, it was Raymond who decided to receive the Borison estate. However, he became a candidate for a feudal lord and changed.

If he had received the Borison estate as originally planned, it would have been ruined.

‘Anyway, I have to stop collecting magic stones right now!’

Raymond hurriedly contacted the lord of Borison Manor.

The lord of the Borison estate was the Earl of Trenby.

But the Earl of Trenby reacted unexpectedly.

– Stop harvesting? don’t be funny.

He refused Raymond’s order.

* * *

Earl of Trenby.

He was the leader among the lords who rebelled against Raymond.

A person who dreamed of an ambition to drive out Raymond and become a feudal lord.

As such, it showed strong opposition to Raymond’s instructions.

-Where is the evidence that such a poisonous substance came out of the magic crystal mine in this territory?

“Due to various circumstances, the magic stone mine in your manor is the most likely.”

– So, where is the evidence?

said the Earl of Trenby ferociously.

-Closing the magic crystal mine, the lifeline of this territory, without any evidence. I can’t afford to be frivolous.

The Earl of Trenby was doing this now for a reason.

First, a feeling of resentment towards Raymond.

Besides that, there were practical reasons as well.

‘If the magic stone mine is closed, the Borison estate will be completely ruined.’

The Borison Manor is a territory with absolutely nothing except for the Magic Stone Mine.

Not even a small manor.

‘Moreover, there will be money invested to set up equipment to collect magic stones, so he will never be able to back down.’

Collecting magic stones is not just digging up stones with a shovel.

A large-scale magic facility was required.

Due to the nature of the Magic Tower, he must have paid an enormous amount for installation, so if he stopped collecting magic crystals, Count Trenby would go bankrupt.

‘… … How pitiful.’

Raymond cleared his throat.

Just imagining that he would have been in such a situation was terrifying.

‘But I still can’t let it go.’

If left alone, toxic substances will continue to pollute the Hale River.

At worst, the river could die completely.

‘Still fine. However, over time, the river may not be able to be restored.’

Then, the territories where the Hale River flows become literally dead lands. If you think far downstream, there were a total of six territories.

“Considering the time and location of the disease, it is likely that your runestone mine is the cause. Once you stop collecting magic stones… … .”

But the Earl of Trenby only answered firmly:

– Bring the evidence. I will not follow unfounded recommendations.

Raymond had no choice but to speak firmly in the end.

“The Earl of Trenby himself is now a commissioner acting on behalf of His Highness the King. If you disobey my words, are you ignoring His Highness’s authority?”

-… … .

As if he couldn’t ignore the bluff, Count Trevi bit his lip.

– Well then. I will contact the Magic Tower.

“… … I beg your pardon?”

-I can’t trust you. I will make a formal request to the Magic Tower to receive an inspection. If an abnormality is confirmed at that time, the mine will be closed.

Then the communication went off.

‘You’re going to be inspected by the Magic Tower?’

Raymond made a troubled face.

‘Isn’t that taking too long?’

at least fortnight.

It was the expected time for the Wizard of the Magic Tower to arrive.

This is because a professional magician in the field must come from afar, not a gossip.

Even if you come really quickly, it will take more than ten days.

I couldn’t wait until then.

‘Before that, we need to find evidence. The magic stone mine is the cause.’

However, it was difficult to directly investigate the magic crystal mine when Count Trenby came out like that.

‘I have to secure the evidence in another way.’

Fortunately, there was a way to secure the evidence without having to investigate the magic crystal mine.

Raymond looked at the map.

Kennel Mountains.

Among them, if you conduct a dynamic investigation around Borison Manor, where the Magic Stone Mine is located, you will be able to obtain evidence.

* * *

But there was a problem.

The Kennel Mountains were dangerous.

It was not a place where no one lived.

People lived only around the Borison estate where the mine was located, and the rest was a demonic land teeming with monsters.

‘What should I do if I encounter a monster while going to an epidemiological investigation?’

Raymond was terrified like a timid man.

Even the people around him inflamed his fears even more.

“You must be careful, lord! Deep in the Kennel Mountains is a demonic realm where you don’t know what dangers there may be! If the lord gets hurt, this old man’s heart will break! Big tears!”

Mevinson shed tears as if he were going to find the place where Raymond would die and said,

“I will risk my life to serve you, sir! Even at the cost of this life, I will not let one of your master’s fingertips get hurt!”

Elmude shouted resolutely as if going to a battlefield to die.

‘Noisy! It’s more scary!’

Raymond exclaimed inwardly.

‘eww… … . Is there any other way?’

But as Christine Hanson put it:

“Sir Elmud, please take good care of Master. I want to dry it… … You won’t listen.”

“you’re right. The master is someone who would even walk into hellfire for the sake of the patient. There is only one way that Lord Elmud protects us well.”

“Master is a patient idiot!”

They were the disciples who naturally thought so without asking Raymond.

‘Isn’t it, you idiots?!’

Raymond was crying, but they prepared for the exploration on their own.

Elmude formed an escort team, and Christine prepared the necessary investigation equipment. Hanson packed a beef lunch to eat during the expedition.

In the meantime, Raymond was standing at the entrance of the Kennel Mountains.

‘… … Do I really have to go up?’

Raymond swallowed.

Dark trees covered the mountain range. It was an atmosphere that seemed like monsters would jump out at any moment.

‘Damn, I don’t like risk. When can I stop suffering like this?’

He let out a deep sigh and made a promise.

Be sure to become a feudal lord and receive rewards for your hard work!

‘As much as I suffer like this, I will definitely enjoy the best movie of wealth and honor!’

* * *

Christine Hanson Linden has chosen to remain in the care of the patient. Instead, other students and escort knights followed him.

Raymond, who started exploring, hurried as much as possible.

‘Let’s finish the exploration as soon as possible before meeting the monster.’

There were about 10 escort knights. It was because there was a risk of provoking the monsters if they accompanied too many people.

Instead, it was packed as elitely as possible. With 10 of the most elite knights, they wouldn’t be able to deal with quite a few monsters, but the cowardly Raymond was uneasy just by entering the Devil’s Realm.

‘Let’s hurry up.’

Fortunately, his stamina stat went up and there was no hindrance to climbing the mountain range.

Raymond looked at the stat window.

[Stats]

Stamina: 78

Sense: 70

The 10 points here are from the stat bonus of the peacekeeper class, but it’s over 70!

‘thank god. Let’s go up and come back as soon as possible!’

“I will hurry as much as possible!”

With that in mind, he urged, and the escort knights, including Elmud, were moved.

‘As expected, lord. They’re trying to resolve the situation as soon as possible for the people of the territory.’

‘It was true that he would jump into hell for the sake of others. Let us protect that foolish great man!’

Could it be because of Raymond’s earnest (?) efforts? I was able to quickly spot the clues.

An abnormality was immediately confirmed at the beginning of the mountain range.

“Count, what is that?”

“The wild beasts are dead!”

Raymond’s eyes widened.

Several beasts lay dead all around the valley!

‘It’s the same disease! These toxic substances harm humans and animals alike.’

Raymond set the direction of the investigation.

“I will keep going up along the direction of the valley where the animals are dying.”

It was impossible to search all of these wide mountains.

If you follow the carcasses of the animals backwards, you will find the cause point.

Raymond guessed that this trail would lead to the Borison estate.

As he had guessed, as he followed the carcasses of the animals, he got closer to the Borison estate.

My heartache hardened into certainty.

‘Let’s analyze the valley water flowing under the magic stone mine. Then you’ll know for sure.’

All you had to do was check the water in the upper and lower valleys around the Magic Stone Mine.

If the upstream is clear, but a disturbing substance is detected from the point of passing the magicite mine, it will be clear evidence.

‘Let’s check it quickly and go downstairs. ugh scared.’

Fortunately, I hadn’t met any monsters so far, but I felt uneasy.

Trees growing black high in the sky cooled the back of the tree.

As I was walking like that, a message suddenly came to my mind.

[This is a crisis situation!]

[The healer’s self-defense technique is manifested!]

Raymond opened his eyes wide.

‘Could it be a monster?’

However, there were no monsters that appeared out of nowhere.

‘what?’

I soon understood the meaning of the message.

Fain!

I heard a rough gong! It was an arrow!

“… … !”

“My lord, this is dangerous!”

While his body stiffened in surprise, Elmude moved one step faster.

snip! He cut off the arrow with his sword.

“Count!”

“Are you all right!”

The escort knights drew their swords belatedly.

“Who are you!”

“Make your appearance!”

Raymond’s heart skipped a beat at the sudden attack.

‘what? It’s not a monster, but an arrow? Could it be that the Earl of Trenby had a grudge against me and attempted an ambush?’

Maybe it was.

Raymond shouted, hiding his fear.

“The Earl of Trenby? How dare you do this! Make your appearance!”

But a completely different voice came through the trees.

“The Earl of Trenby? I don’t know what nonsense you’re talking about.”

“The enemy of the clan. How dare you show yourself where this is! I will kill you!”

Shadows began to appear one by one with a sharp voice.

‘Cat people?’

Seeing those who appeared, Raymond was startled.

Humanoid body cat ears tail.

Among the beasts, it was the Myo-humans!

‘Why are the Myoin tribe all of a sudden?’

Raymond made a puzzled face.

‘I’ve heard that there are beasts living in the Kennel Mountains, but.’

Beasts are different from monsters.

It has clear reason and has a humanoid body.

In fact, biologically they are not classified as monsters.

subspecies.

classified as humanoids.

Like other sub-species, the Beasts usually lived in remote places untouched by humans.

A hostile attack like that all of a sudden when it rarely shows up?

‘Cat people are on the moderate side, so they rarely attack humans, right? Why are you doing that?’

Then Elmud said.

“Lord. The enemy’s momentum is unusual. I think you should evade yourself.”

Unlike usual, Elmude had a heavy and serious face.

The situation was so dire.

The number of Myoin Tribe that appeared was 50!

Considering that the Beasts each had strong fighting power, it was difficult to deal with them with only the power that Raymond brought.

“There are many enemies. We will give our lives to stop it, so please hide yourself, my lord.”

Elmude left a will with a solemn face.

“It was short, but I was happy to serve him. I hope that in my next life I will be able to serve my lord more closely… … .”

“… … I’m going to keep making you anxious.”
