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

Episode 784: Stolen Heirloom (6)

The first thing Ray saw after entering the principality was the remarkably developed territory.

A spire towering high enough to pierce the sky.

The red roof gave off a cute yet sophisticated feel.

How about the clock tower towering in the center?

A fortified wall of fortification.

Even the goblin soldiers who seemed to laugh at the level of knights, even at a glance.

The duchy built by the dwarves and ruled by the goblins was nothing short of a work of art or a fortress.

Noora looked around like a child, probably surprised.

“What is all this? Didn’t you say Go Principality?”

Of course it is a principality.

From the outside, it looked like any other kingdom, but it was a principality.

No wonder she was surprised.

Even Ray, who ordered the goblin queen to develop the territory, had never expected that it would change like this.

“Come in.”

Led by the Dark Spirit who came to his senses first, they entered the territory as if possessed.

Caan-! Caan-!

Quick-! Quick-!

If you could define the atmosphere of the town in one word, it would be noisy.

No, it was the noise pollution itself.

The dwarves set up a forge and pounded iron as if competing to see who was better, and the goblins, who had become carpenters, moved in perfect order to raise the tower.

The time when I stood with my mouth open at the fertility of the goblins, seeing the number of goblins increased by two to three times compared to before.

Familiar faces approached.

“You are late.”

Nicely pricked ears.

Their mischievous, deep pupils matched their eyes.

“Pia.”

“The sin of keeping the elves waiting is heavy. know?”

When she said it with a haha laugh, Ray couldn’t help but laugh too.

“You have arrived safely. But why are you still here? The elves wouldn’t have chosen such a noisy place.”

At Ray’s question, Pia awkwardly scratched her nose.

It was clear that something was going on, as the tails of the ears were down.

“That’s…”

“Huh?”

“Ira-sama is very angry… It seems like she’s going to go to war before setting up a site.”

“War?”

Even if it was a human, war would happen once in a thousand years to elves.

Furthermore, Aira was not a person who wielded power according to her mood, so Ray had a hunch that something was going on in the meantime.

Ray asked Pia about what had happened so far.

“Where is Ira now?”

“Stay with the Goblin Queen.”

I just have a bad feeling about it.

“Black Young.”

“yes.”

“Take Nurua and the elves to the separate room. I’ll have to stay there for a while while the site is set up.”

“All right.”

Hearing the Dark Spirit’s answer, Ray immediately headed to the Goblin Queen.

* * *

A luxurious terrace where the Queen often goes for tea.

There was a sharp-eyed Aira and a goblin queen watching the scenery outside the window.

Perhaps thanks to the increased mana she received from her before, she resembled a human more than before.

No, except for the skin color and long fingernails, it was almost human.

Aira opened her mouth as cold as ice.

“I need your strength.”

“How many times have I told you, high elf. I cannot apply now.”

“Why?”

“To accomplish a greater cause than that.”

Elves are considered one of the strongest races after the extinction of dragons.

Among them, the goblin queen did not lose her complexion even when dealing with the high elves, who could be said to be the ruling class.

Of course, Aira also did not back down to that extent.

“What is a great work?”

“I am under no obligation to tell you that. I just want to let you know that it is not a hideous act of killing another clan to avenge it.”

At those words, Aira’s fingers squirmed in response.

“Are you saying that resolving the grudge of a close friend is a problem?”

“Could that be? I’m just saying, if you’re going to do it, end it with the elves. If you want to invite more deaths by the death of one member of the clan, wouldn’t that be a way to look down on death?”

Elves have been few in number throughout history.

On the contrary, the goblins who had to be slaughtered repeatedly, although they were numerous.

The difference between the two races was not easily narrowed.

Overhearing their conversation, Ray entered the terrace.

“You need power. What are you talking about?”

“Goblin God.”

“ray.”

When the names they called each other were different, the two looked at each other without saying who came first.

It’s not like we’re fighting or anything, but it doesn’t sound like a good atmosphere either.

If you clumsily intervene, sparks will fly.

“I roughly heard the story from Pia. Could it be that the elder is dead?”

“Mmm.”

Ira salivated at his question.

An elder who died in front of his eyes.

Even the one remaining elder couldn’t even watch him die.

A sorry heart turned into anger, and anger turned into resentment.

The more he thought about it, the darker he felt, the more natural mana flowed around Aira.

The goblin queen just looked at the scenery again, as if she was used to it.

“They say elves don’t lie. But now the high elves are lying to their thoughts and feelings. Can you really say it’s for them?”

She continued talking over a cup of tea.

“In my view, that is hypocrisy. A revenge that only comforts itself. That is what you have.”

“If you insult me any more, I will not tolerate it either.”

“Please be honest. If you want to cut out the darkness, shouldn’t you know how to look at the darkness first?”

Even though she was about to run away, the goblin queen did not back down even a single step.

Rather, he held his head upright and spoke confidently.

Aira also shut her mouth for a moment at her undisturbed appearance.

“…I’m leaving for today.”

Eventually, deep in thought, she left first.

* * *

Ira, who is so weak, is all I saw once a few years ago.

At that time, he thought that he had been abandoned by the elves for more than twenty years, and he was downcast.

Ray took a deep breath and then nodded.

Aira still supported herself and helped without expecting anything in return.

If they get out of here, they won’t be human anymore.

Ray, who didn’t want to become a beast, approached her and talked to her.

“good. say it.”

“…”

The blue eyes turned this way.

The moment ‘What do you mean?’ Her voice seemed to linger in my ears.

“Anything is fine, so tell me. Whatever it is, I’ll listen.”

“Are you serious?”

The eyes that were somber just a moment ago open wide.

“One time. Anything you want. I will make it happen no matter what.”

His eyes, which were usually hazy, were lively, and his tone, which was light, became quite serious.

A face that seemed like it would take decades to make it happen if a dragon said it wanted to see it.

maybe it is possible

‘If I borrow the power of Ray…’

I didn’t know if I could fundamentally annihilate something other than revenge.

“then……!”

The moment I was about to put my request straight into my mouth.

She could notice herself.

Suddenly, the corner of the mouth goes up.

As I dreamed of revenge and thought it would come true, I found myself excited.

Many of the dark emotions the distorted Goblin Queen had spoken of were there.

Ah, in the end, no matter what, he is this kind of existence.

Once I started to realize it strongly, I felt shame and a sense of self-defeating at the same time.

Aira turned her head quickly.

“are you okay?”

“Don’t look this way. It’s a look that I can’t even see right now.”

She, who had been a little downcast just a moment ago, was now sinking like a ship on the verge of sinking.

“Could you please leave me alone for a while?”

“okay.”

She, who only seemed strong, felt infinitely small now.

Ray just quietly moved away.

* * *

Except for Heukyoung and Soyoung, the guards literally made their living in the principality.

At first, So-Young, who was calm, thinking, “I’m sure there are things I want to do,” Hong-Young, who didn’t seem interested at all, was shocked to hear that he was learning to cut meat at a butcher’s shop.

“I can’t stop watching.”

It was a car that made me hungry.

So-yeong, who was licking her lips with the intention of doing something like this, went to the butcher shop with Heuk-young.

Soon after, I began to see Hongyoung chopping meat with a knife that kills people on the chopping board.

Chop well.

But the shape is strange.

Unsurprisingly, an angry command fell from the goblin who was watching his posture.

“Who told you to hold a knife like that! Humans are so slow to learn how can they cut and sell meat!”

As he ran, he grabbed a knife and cut the meat with his familiar skill.

Then, wouldn’t that perfectly fine piece of meat turn into a rag like a lie!

The goblin smiled contentedly and said proudly.

“How are you?”

“Wow.”

Hongyoung also looked quite surprised.

Well, how can you not be surprised that the fish, which used to be fine, has turned into a lump of wet soil after a rain?

Soyoung grabbed the goblin by the scruff of the neck and slammed it to the floor.

“Keeck!”

“Where are you trying to eat Hongyoung? Is cooking fun?”

So-yeong, who came to fill her stomach, couldn’t bear to see the delicious meat being teased in front of her eyes.

“It’s not Soyoung. This is…”

“Okay. You know everything without looking.”

As if there was no need to listen, Soyoung grabbed the goblin by the collar and hit it back and forth a couple of times.

slam-! slam-!

“Keew! Goblin is dead!”

“It’s wrong to leave the kitchen to those who ate animals in the fields! Die at all, die!”

“Keeeeek!”

When the goblin’s screams resonated in the middle of the butcher’s shop.

An elf whose pupils seemed to be out of focus came to the butcher.

A dignified voice that did not suit the noisy place at all spoke.

“If you have horse meat, bring it.”

“Uh huh?”

Heukyoung and Soyoung, who were familiar with that face, forgot about hitting the goblin and stared at her.

She, who was just looking at the butcher shop with an expressionless face, asked again.

“Is there?”

“Do you have this?”

Soyoung asked the goblin again.

“There is, but…”

The goblins were also dumbfounded by the reality of the elves looking for meat, so they forgot about the beating they had received and looked at Soyoung.

An elf who found a butcher shop.

Ira glanced at the unrecognizable meat on the chopping board and said.

“The owner is talented. Do humans or goblins shape meat and eat it?”

“What a shape…”

Hongyoung dissolved the meat in water.

Then, various patterns that had not been seen until now were tightly packed into the thinly sliced meat.

“It’s horse meat. Come with it.”

“Are you really… thinking of eating meat?”

“Can’t you?”

“It’s not impossible, but…”

I don’t know what kind of harmony this is for a high elf, not an elf, to eat meat.

It’s not like you can’t pick and choose people at a meat store.

In the end, Soyoung even wrapped it with her own hands and handed it over.

Looking at the back of her leaving, she murmured involuntarily.

“Since the end of the world, elves eat meat.”
