Doctor Player Chapter 454 – Gaiden 2

‘Nonsense.’

Raymond swallowed.

Rose is dead?

I couldn’t believe it.

-I understand that you are shocked to hear that the two of you were special. I also can’t believe it.

Consian looked sad.

Raymond looked at Consian with a blank expression.

-Since it is a story that will cause great confusion, originally it should be kept top secret, but there is a reason why I contacted His Majesty separately.

“… … What is it?”

-This is to inform you that, due to the death of the former emperor of Rosetail, the authority of the debt owed by His Majesty Raymond to Her Majesty Rosetail has been transferred to me.

“… … !”

Raymond was stunned for a moment.

Even the shock of Rose’s death was a story worth forgetting.

-The Fallen Group is the secret private property of the Birmund family. Using the authority of the next great emperor of the former Iron Empire, the Fallen Group’s property will be transferred to the imperial family. However, looking at the financial statements before the acquisition, there were many loan details that I could not understand. This is the history of loaning to His Majesty.

Raymond’s complexion turned white.

Consian frowned.

-A whopping 107.32 million pennies were loaned to His Majesty, and the loan period was absurdly long, and the interest rate was practically free. This is obviously wrong and we want to correct it.

“… … In what way?”

– You should follow the minimum statutory interest rate. In accordance with international law, an agreement between the Iron Empire and the Crusader Empire, I will raise the interest rate to 20%.

20%!

It was an unbelievable story.

According to that story, Raymond had to pay back more than 20 million pence a year in interest.

The horrific story didn’t stop there.

– I’ll have to look at the loan deadline. I’ll reset it to 2 years. There are not a few amounts that have already expired, and for those cases, we will extend the deadline for one year.

Raymond protested against the patronizing story.

“but… … ! Changing the terms of a contract that has already been made… … !”

– It is possible according to international law. Only in the case of such an unfair financial transaction.

If the interest rate was too different from the normal interest rate of 20-40%, the conditions could be reset through a lawsuit.

Originally, it was a law to protect the weak from unfair financial transactions, but Consian said he would reverse the law.

-We will adjust the conditions to be ‘fair’ so that neither side is at a disadvantage.

Raymond clenched his fists tightly.

It was a crisis of a lifetime.

What I can’t say is that Rose has been unusually considerate of Raymond so far. The conditions Consian said were still generous compared to those of other banks.

‘no. I’m bankrupt if I go by that.’

After becoming the emperor of absolute power, he still has to worry about bankruptcy.

But the emperor, Nabal, and Raymond were mere debtors.

Since the creditors were the imperial family of the Iron Empire, they couldn’t take them off with power.

‘If Rose-sama had been alive, none of this would have happened.’

Raymond gritted his teeth, realizing anew what a generous creditor Rose had been.

But for a moment, Raymond had a question.

‘Is it true that Rose-sama really died?’

It was strange.

Not too long ago, he sent a dangerous look through the communication port, but he died out of nowhere?

I knew, of course, that Rose was fighting an unpredictable battle, but it was so sudden.

More than anything, it was hard to imagine that the frightening Rose would have died in vain.

‘I have to check.’

“Can I ask you one question?”

– Speak.

“This is an important matter, so please promise me you will answer truthfully.”

-All right.

Raymond looked through the crystal ball straight into Consian’s eyes.

“Is it true that the Rosetail Emperor really died?”

It wasn’t just a question.

It was a ‘skill’.

[Doctor’s Lie Detector]

Classification: Auxiliary Skill

Rating: Unique

Proficiency: A

-Ears to determine the truth are essential virtues for patients!

– Determine whether the opponent is lying!

‘It’s a recently acquired skill.’

For two years, Raymond hadn’t been playing either.

I was mainly working as an emperor, so I couldn’t level up explosively compared to the time I had before.

However, the experience gained little by little was enormous, and the level was incomparable to that before ascending to the emperor.

His job grade was now not ‘professor’, but ‘president’, and reached ‘master’ level.

The doctor’s mind reading was a skill learned during the level up process.

Patients do not always tell the truth. It was a skill to determine the truth since he could tell lies depending on the situation.

‘To be honest, it’s a skill I learned because of the Emperor’s work. If you raise your proficiency to level A, you can detect lies even if you are not a patient. It was effective in discriminating that the bad guys were playing tricks.’

Of course, this mind-reading technique was not omnipotent.

There were several limitations.

However, it was a skill that would be of great help in the current situation.

Raymond waited for Consian’s words with a pounding heart.

-Yes, he died. A burnt body was identified.

“… … !”

yet.

[The opponent didn’t lie!]

Raymond gritted his teeth.

‘Really?’

My eyes darkened.

But Raymond did not let go of hope.

‘Maybe I misunderstood.’

If the opponent didn’t lie, is that ‘truth’?

Not necessarily.

If the other person misunderstood or misunderstood the situation, it could not be the ‘truth’ even if he did not lie.

Raymond asked again.

“… … Please tell me exactly how Emperor Rose died.”

-His Majesty the former Emperor went missing after visiting the Xigong region and being attacked unexpectedly. A search was conducted and a charred corpse, presumably His Majesty’s, was found.

“Are you certain that the burned remains are those of the Rosetail Emperor?”

-… … The extent of the damage was so severe that the face could not be identified, but the circumstances are certain.

Raymond could tell one thing from those words.

‘That guy doesn’t even know what’s accurate.’

It was natural.

It was impossible to determine the identity of a corpse with a disfigured face using Leifentai or continental technology.

Raymond asked the most important question.

“Then, do you know who the killer of the Rosetail Emperor was?”

-… … I don’t know. Currently tracking.

with that answer.

[The opponent lied!]

The detector sent a message.

Raymond’s eyes lit up.

‘He knows who the culprit is.’

What does that mean?

Raymond’s head spun back.

‘That guy must have something to do with Rose-sama’s misfortune.’

Maybe that guy was a beast.

When Rose dies, that bastard will inherit the throne.

‘I’ll have to go check it out.’

Just then, a message popped up.

[A quest has occurred in Vigo that suddenly flew in!]

[Resolve the darkness that has arrived in the Iron Empire!]

(Ninjutsu Quest)

Priority: Great

Difficulty: Extreme

Quest Description: A sudden Vigo is heard from the Iron Empire came! As a healer, stop the darkness from the Iron Empire!

Reward: Bonus level up x 10, 1000 skill points

Bonus: Light spreading across the Iron Empire

Raymond looked at the contents of the quest with great concern.

There was nothing in the quest about whether Rose’s death was true or not.

‘First of all, we need to check whether the body that was found belongs to Rose-sama.’

It was impossible for the Iron Empire healers to reveal the identity of the body damaged by fire, but it was possible with Raymond’s medical skills.

And I had to help Rose.

‘If the body found isn’t Rose’s, then Rose’s must be in great danger right now.’

He was probably on the run after camouflaging his body in some way.

Of course, this is just a guess.

Maybe, I don’t want to imagine, but Rose’s corpse could have been right.

But even so, I had to check.

‘I have to bring him down.’

Raymond glanced over the communication port at Consian, who was wearing a hateful face.

That guy is entangled in what happened to Rose.

So if we uncover the truth of this incident, we will be able to prevent him from ascending to the throne of the Iron Empire.

… … In other words, I was able to keep 100 million pena for Rose.

‘I’m doing it for Rose and for my 100 million penas!’

Raymond burned his will.

That’s how the decision to go to the Iron Empire was made.

* * *

Raymond assumes that Rose is still alive and decides to move with the purpose of rescuing her.

But there was a problem.

Everyone who heard the story objected.

“Dangerous!”

“You’d rather kill us and go, Your Majesty!”

It was natural.

Raymond is now emperor.

In particular, the Iron Empire is a long-time enemy of the Crusader Empire.

How would you like to get there?

‘But I can’t go. If I don’t go, I’m bankrupt.’

Raymond thought desperately.

Save Rose or at least bring down the bad guy.

At least one of the two had to be done to avoid bankruptcy.

‘And it doesn’t seem that dangerous.’

Although he became emperor, he was still the first to put safety first.

The cowardly, timid Simseong did not go anywhere.

From Raymond’s point of view, this time around didn’t seem too dangerous.

It was real.

‘I’ve become much stronger now too.’

Raymond opened the status window after a long time.

[Player Status]

Name: Raymond

Class: All Master Doctor (Ex)

Job Rating: Master

Level: 127

Assistant Occupation: Healer Lord Medical Magician Medical Knights Medical Alchemist

The status was quite different from before.

Once the class has changed.

Originally, it was a ‘surgeon (SSS)’, but it has changed to ‘All Master Doctor’.

Now that his powers were no longer confined to the yoke of a surgeon, he seemed to have changed.

The job grade is a ‘Master’ class!

It has reached the status of ‘master’ through the ‘hospital director’ level, ‘academic chairperson’ level, and ‘name’ level above ‘professor’.

Now, even on the modern planet, few doctors can claim to be better than Raymond.

And even bigger changes.

‘… … It has become very strong.’

Originally, Raymond was as strong as a sword master.

now?

I’ve never checked it out exactly.

but.

‘Now even Elmud can’t be my opponent.’

I hadn’t competed directly.

Because Raymond hates sweaty fights.

However, it was the thought I felt every time I saw Elmud wield the sword.

Elmud looked weaker than himself.

It was an incredible story.

Elmud became an imperial knight under the direct command of the emperor and achieved tremendous growth.

He had become a 2nd sword level sword master and was now looking for a 3rd level sword master.

It was a growth that was hard to find on the continent, but Raymond surpassed even that.

Raymond didn’t even know that he had the power of at least 2 swords, maybe even 3 swords.

It was good to see that he was in the ranks of superhumans.

‘… … He’s a superman of poverty, worried about bankruptcy.’
