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

Episode 251 The curtain ends as a saint.

I bought grain again with a huge amount of money exceeding 60 gold coins.

It would be possible to buy all the grain in one place, but there is no point in doing so.

When the grain was purchased with the flag of Kuwon Sanghoe, it soon became an enormous amount of 350 seats.

‘This is enough to feed me.’

Thinking so, I turned the carriage from north to west.

He says that he went out to find the starving local people.

“I share my mercy! Everyone gather here and line up!”

It was an instant for the crowd to gather at that word.

Who would refuse to give food for free?

It will be a prosperous year for the Seongguk itself, but for the people it is a season of spring poverty.

Since you can’t live off the bark of the tree, let’s solve the compassion and bring baskets here and there.

Around the time the grain, which had been slightly over 350 seok, was reduced to 310 seok, he collected the sacks.

If you solved 40 seoks with compassion in one territory, you solved a lot.

Now we have to move to another place.

He raised the flag and climbed back into the carriage.

Without knowing that someone noticed his appearance.

* * *

People began to take an interest in him as he traveled to various territories and started harvesting grain for free.

They are the beings who saved themselves from dying, so in a way, they deserve to be called benefactors.

However, it is impossible to name the person who comes every day wearing a dark hood.

They only recognized the flag that read Salvation Society.

After a week had passed since I began to express my compassion, there were many voices calling for salvation.

“…You really captured the public’s heart.”

Harpman, who was sipping a drink in a corner of the bar, murmured.

“With just a few hundred grains, I won the hearts of local residents. You are laying the foundation for becoming a grand corps.”

At this point, there is now more wonder than envy.

Contrary to the childlike appearance, it is impossible to know how many thoughts are hidden inside.

He put down his drink and got up from his seat.

It’s time to admit your defeat.

* * *

Seongguk started showing mercy a little too late.

Paladins and priests were dispatched directly to share the grain, and even though the territories accepted it, they often grumbled.

“Sheesh, what the hell are you trying to do with this…”

“That’s right. To come to work belatedly after working on something… It’s already happened.”

Their resentment towards the holy kingdom has not been erased yet.

Those called heretic judges ran rampant in the village, and those called lords closed the ascending road without thinking of the territories.

In such a situation, in the Holy Land, there is no countermeasure, but as if they have thought of it belatedly, they sprinkle pity. It is like running into a burning house with oil.

Ray, who was watching him from behind, shook his head.

‘It was rather a handshake that gave me compassion.’

Perhaps Pope Eclay rejected the aristocrats’ intentions to be self-respecting and showed mercy.

It was probably too late for her to know.

Even so, the execution must mean that he will pay for his sins by accepting his own apology and the resentment of the people.

It’s not that he doesn’t understand Eclay’s feelings either.

The prosperity of the local nobility combined with the central nobility is considerable.

Even if she was the Pope, it would not have been easy to stop her alone as she was just starting to take her place.

In addition, Iriel is also not coming out of the mansion.

There was no talent to help with the current situation, so it was not unreasonable to get involved.

Of course, the locals wouldn’t know all of that, though.

* * *

From some time ago, there was a rumor that the upper house of Kuwon Sangui was a saint.

At first, I laughed at the unreliable story and passed it on, but after that, I think that it might be like that for some reason.

That’s also true of the name ‘Guwon Sanghoe’, and Hood’s child, who always got off the carriage, looked similar to the saint’s body shape.

Feeling strange about it, Hafman made a request to the information guild.

However, there has been no news for several days, and even if you try to submit the request again, the guild rejects it.

At this point, suspiciousness had turned to certainty.

‘It could really be a saint.’

I’ve never seen it myself, but I know from rumors that it has white hair.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but the child of Guwon Sang’s is also like that.

While I was deep in thought, the door suddenly opened and someone came in.

His hood was pulled down deeply and he was carrying an empty leather pouch in his hand, and he almost mistook it for a bandit.

Ray sat down in his chair and said.

“350 seats… that’s it.”

After walking around alone and solving an absurd amount of compassion, my socks hurt.

Hafman politely bowed his head and said,

“You worked hard. I have both hands and feet in the wisdom of gaining grain with money and gaining heart with grain. I still have a long way to go as a merchant.”

When the words he wanted finally came out of his mouth, he erased his troubled expression and grinned.

“Things were good and I was lucky.”

“Hahaha, you are humble. But what was even better would be the mindset of considering Yeong Ji-min’s circumstances.”

He no longer judges people by their outward appearance.

Although it looks young, it shows that it is expanding the width of the upper part with considerable knowledge and judgment. How can you see it from below?

Hafman asked.

“Do you want me to do something for you?”

If you pretend, you’re good.

Having been a merchant for a long time, it seems that I have eaten a little bit.

Sensing that the time had come, Ray took out the hand of the merchant from his bosom.

He gave it to Hafman, who had a puzzled expression, and said.

“Combine Hafman Corporation and Guwon Corporation and grow them into a grand prize team. The ascending route of the lords must be completely destroyed, and from now on, the Hafman Chamber of Commerce must lead the ascending exclusively.”

Destroy the ascending roads of nobles.

It’s not easy.

“We are very short on funds. Compared to other grand prize groups, the recognition is high, but talent and capital are lacking, so it will not be bigger than this.”

He shook his head in response to Hafman’s words.

“If you continue to go uphill by supporting public sentiment, you will be able to earn money whenever you want.”

“…That’s why you created a company called Gukubo Corporation.”

“That’s how it is. If you combine your knowledge, trust, and the reputation gained by Kubo Co., becoming a member of the Grand Prize is not that difficult.”

From the beginning, he worked with the intention of entrusting himself to the top.

Halfman, who was quite moved by him, wept.

“I will definitely repay this favor.”

“Forget it, that’s what you pay for.”

“I will never forget.”

“Jjuk… Take care of that and keep this one thing in mind. Since you are doing this while leaving public sentiment behind, never live on the backs of people. I eat alone and my stomach explodes.”

Despite the bizarre advice, Hafman simply nods.

“I will keep that in mind.”

As he is about to leave, the child sitting in the corner stares at him.

He seems to be thinking of saying hello, but his mouth doesn’t seem to come out.

“Goodbye, little one. If you stay here, you won’t go hungry.”

“Uuuuuuuu….”

“I’ll stop by again someday, so work hard.”

He nodded his head and waved his hand.

I waved my hand to the face and went above the half-man.

Now that there is a new top company to keep in check, the nobles will be busy raising their own family top for the time being.

If you squeeze through that gap and continue to grow, you will soon be reborn as the top tier in the region.

Talent will have to be acquired as much as possible, and he will have to walk a tightrope with other nobles and make the ascending road his own, so Halfman will be very busy from now on.

When he arrived in Selonia, all sorts of rumors had already spread.

When we return to the mansion, Eucliwood opens his eyes and speaks.

“Your name is wonderful. Beyond salvation.”

“Whoever built it really well built it.”

“Rumors have already spread among the people that the top performer of Kuwon Sangho is the Holy Son. I belatedly took care of it, but now there is no way to do anything.”

“Anyway, I am a saint who will quit soon. The fact that I did it is revealed, so I don’t care too much, right?”

“Why doesn’t it matter? If it is revealed that the Holy Son is leaving the Holy Land, big things will happen for a while.”

“That would be a bit difficult.”

Now you say it’s someone else’s business.

He said to Eucliwood, who was stuffing his luggage here and there in his leather rucksack.

“Can I ask you one last favor?”

Taking a step back, she says politely.

“Even though you are leaving the Holy Land, there is no doubt that you are a family that serves you. Name it as you like.”

“Use your hands so that the upper ranks of the nobles do not grow any larger than this. If you try to close the ascending road again, increase the size of the top of the halfman and it will take care of itself. I’m leaving tonight, so I’ll send my regards to the Pope instead.”

“All right. Regarding the academy thing, I’ll take care of it, so don’t worry. Since the talented people brought by the Holy Son are unusual, they will probably be able to grow on their own within a few years.”

Anytime you look at it, the post-processing is neat.

She lowered her head and was about to step back, but hesitantly asked, uncharacteristic of her.

“Are you not going to visit the saintess…?”

“…”

When I smiled once as I was packing my things, I withdrew as if I would not ask any further questions.

“I apologize.”

* * *

When I left the mansion with my luggage on my shoulders, Zeke and Richie were standing there.

Zeke, who had been standing still, awkwardly scratched his head.

“This is the end, sir.”

“If you’re bored, I’ll come over.”

Zeke laughs at his joke.

“You are welcome anytime.”

While he was talking, he took out a sword from his waist and took the example of a knight.

He lowered his head with his sword stuck in the ground.

This time Richie spoke up.

“If you need anything, please call me, Lord. For example, if you want to build a mage tower…”

“No need.”

“yes.”

The two of them talked briefly and moved to one side to make a path.

passed slowly in front of it.

I got out of the reach of the mansion’s lights.

As I walked, a secluded garden appeared.

Fog and moonlight combined, and a drop of light illuminated the road.

The bright starry sky that can be glimpsed through the clouds shows off its beautiful appearance.

I stop for a moment at the colorful melody created by the night and stare blankly at it.

Then, someone from the side spoke to me.

“You are leaving.”

familiar voice.

It was the tone that I always heard next to me when I was in the Holy Land.

“Iriel.”

“I can’t stay locked up in the mansion forever.”

There is no more agitation in the calm voice.

“At that time… you obviously said you wouldn’t get involved in my feelings anymore, right?”

Nodding silently, Iriel let out a small breath.

“…you are always selfish. It’s like working and leaving the castle…”

Since it’s true, I can’t refute it, but she approaches and whispers in my ear.

“This… It’s your punishment, so please accept it.”

She approached slowly and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Then carefully kiss your lips.

We could feel each other’s breath where we touched.

A soft texture lingers on the lips with a subtle fruity scent.

His long eyelashes trembled, wondering where he pretended to be calm.

Iriel, who slowly parted his lips, spoke.

“I’m really grateful for all this time. Now I’m saying goodbye here.”

I say it with my back to the night sky, which is dazzling and makes me want to cry.

“goodbye.”

Ray also greeted him.

“…Bye.”

where a lot happened

Looking back, I wonder if even the boring daily life was enjoyable.

After looking around the garden for a while, he stepped out of the castle.

It was the moment the saint disappeared from the Holy Land.
