Doctor Player Chapter 361
Raymond made a bewildered face.
However, Archduke Mishelt asked the opposite question.
“Are you okay with just these conditions? The education fee per healer is only 1,000 pennies a year?”
‘Is that enough?’
Raymond swallowed the answer.
Now, the Penin Healing Center was not receiving any education fees from the students.
Even the disciples who had some experience were given a reward on the contrary.
This is because the main educational method of the Penin Center is to build up knowledge while treating patients together with seniors.
This was due to the poor environment of Penin Treatment Center.
Compared to the influx of patients, the number of healers was drastically insufficient, so even disciples who were in the middle of building medical knowledge had to be put into the field.
Beginner disciples are mild patients.
Skilled disciples who have accumulated some knowledge treat seriously ill patients.
In that way, I am seeing patients step by step and studying medicine at the same time.
So, the disciples of Penin Healing Center were not only students learning medicine, but also active healers who were in charge of treatment in the field, so they were paying them.
‘... ... Healers from the Free Cities Alliance must work hard when they come to the Penin Center.’
But, on the contrary, paying 1,000 pennies a year for education!
I wondered if the conditions were too vicious, but Archduke Mishelt said so.
“To teach such a secret technique and be okay with only 1,000 pena. Even if it is for the patient. Tsk. You seem to have a soft side as much as you are noble. First of all, as someone who has walked the path of a monarch, I would like to give you some advice. Sometimes you need to read your mind.”
“... ... .”
“The cost of education will be 10,000 pence per person per year. It must be too cheap to pass on this kind of secret technique.”
Raymond’s eyes widened.
‘Hoo Hogu Angel Archduke. i love you.’
Other conditions were also negotiated.
Establish at least 3 Pennin Healing Center branches in future Free Cities Alliance.
The initial cost of establishment shall be borne by the Free Cities Association.
It was said that students from the Free City Union had to work for at least 10 years at the Penin Treatment Center in the future.
‘They’re all good conditions for me!’
However, Archduke Mishelt thought the opposite.
‘It’s only under these conditions that medicine is spread. Rose is someone she cares about, but I don’t know if she’ll hear something later.’
Considering the benefits that would arise if medicine spread to the Free Cities Alliance, Raymond’s current offer was nothing short of a bargain.
If medicine spread, there would be many benefits, but this was the most important benefit.
That the rate of people dying from disease is greatly reduced.
For the Free Cities Federation as a whole, that was an immeasurable gain.
In particular, the Free City Alliance had a very small population compared to the Iron Empire and the Crusader Federation, a powerful nation of the same status. So, when an epidemic struck, the country was on the verge of shaking.
If medicine spreads, such a blow will be lessened.
That alone is more than enough to pay for this investment right now.
‘If it were me, I would never have passed on such a great secret technique to other countries. You really are an adult to the core.’
Archduke Mishelt and Raymond thought of each other at the same time.
‘They say he’s a holy fool.’
‘It was Grand Duke Hogu.’
Raymond cleared his throat.
“Then what is your second request?”
“Solve the disease that is circulating between the nobles of the Free Cities Association and the wealthy commoners.”
“Is the disease circulating among the nobles and wealthy commoners?”
“Yes, seriously.”
Raymond made a puzzled face.
Gangsters can turn.
But is it a disease that only affects nobles and wealthy people?
‘How did the Black Darkness distribute drugs to the Free Cities Alliance? It would have been impossible alone.’
There is no way it would have been possible to make a deal like this with Darkness, the dark one who is a lich. There must be someone who worked with the Black Darkness and distributed drugs to the Free Cities Alliance.
‘But there was someone in the Catal Kingdom who would have done this... ... .’
The Catal Kingdom was not particularly active in the Free City Alliance. Therefore, they lacked the capacity to engage in such clandestine trafficking.
‘Most of the Catal Kingdom trades with the Free Cities Alliance through the Peninsula Kingdom.’
It’s not just the Katal Kingdom.
Due to geographical conditions, most of the countries of the Crusader Empire trade with the Free City Alliance via the Peninsula Kingdom.
The moment he thought about that, an eerie assumption popped into Raymond’s head.
‘... ... no way?’
And just in time, Archduke Mishelt told me the answer.
“To be exact, most of the goods came from your home country, Peninsula Kingdom.”
“... ... !”
Raymond was taken aback.
Are there drugs coming in from the Peninsula Kingdom?
‘What nonsense?’
But Raymond gulped.
Archduke Mishelt’s eyes weren’t telling lies. It is to recite a fact that you know for sure.
“why... ... Who would do that?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Is there anyone in your kingdom who would do something like this?”
At those words, Raymond was shocked as if he had been struck by lightning.
“no way... ... Are you Marquis Rodrigo?”
“exactly. Marquis Rodrigo is working with some of the Round Table Council to supply drugs to the Free Cities Federation.”
“... ... !”
Raymond finally put all the puzzles together.
I wondered how the Marquis Rodrigo was receiving the kindness of the Round Table Committee, thanks to the supply of drugs!
‘I knew it was trash, but I couldn’t believe he was doing something like this.’
Raymond clenched his fists.
It wasn’t his fault, but his face flushed.
“that... ... sorry.”
“What do you have to be sorry for? From what I hear, you seem to be in trouble because of him.”
But Raymond couldn’t raise his head in shame.
It was embarrassing and apologetic that a person from the same country was doing this to another country.
“Anyway, can you use your abilities to solve this damn thing?”
Raymond hesitated.
I want to help, but I’m not sure if it’s realistic.
‘This is not the Crusader Federation Empire. I’m just a healer with no power here.’
“I want to help. But will I be able to... ... .”
“No, only you can do it.”
“yes?”
Raymond made a puzzled face.
Archduke Mishelt said bitterly.
“The members of the Round Table who have joined hands with Marquis Rodrigo are Cartan Rossis Reint Morans.”
familiar names.
They were the monarchs who had recently declared war on the Grand Duke of Gaebolg!
“Cities in the Free Cities Association each have their own autonomy. So even we Gaebolg can’t investigate other cities. Especially since those lords keep the Gaebolg family in check, they won’t allow it all the more.”
“So that’s why you asked me for help.”
“Right. You are both a healer and a member of the royal family of the Peninsula Kingdom, one of the Free Cities Alliance’s best friends. So you can freely roam the Free Cities Alliance without any restrictions. It will be easy to contact people who are addicted to drugs.”
Raymond realized Archduke Mishelt’s intentions.
Archduke Mishelt requested that Raymond, as a healer, treat patients who are addicted to drugs and catch clues.
“If you get the clue, this Mishelt will take care of the rest. I won’t leave that Rodrigo alone.”
