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

Chapter 296

episode 296 derp, the mad blacksmith (1)

ray said with an unfair look.

“i was told to come in!”

“who rushes in to come in! the blacksmith’s place is as precious as the body to the blacksmith! you have now defiled my body!”

if others hear it, it will be a big deal.

i can’t bear to go into the forge again, but derp sits down alone and talks.

“so what did you come for?”

it’s really unconventional for slapping someone in the face.

it was a mental strength that would not have been admirable if the swordsman who cultivated the sword had even seen it.

“i came because i have something to ask of you.”

when ira hands over the book, derp opens it.

after rereading it several times, he nodded his head with a satisfied expression.

“take it out.”

i haven’t even talked about the ingredients yet, but i look at the backpack as if i know everything.

i took out the mana stone and dryad twig from my leather backpack.

derp let out an exclamation.

“ho! i don’t know about you, but the ingredients are really pretty.”

“it is a mana stone from a higher level monster. calling is worth it.”

let’s talk proudly, nodding our heads.

“right.”

the answer ended with that.

no, the conversation is over.

if you keep going like this, let alone making a sword, you will have to go back with only being beaten in the face.

anxious, ray spoke up again.

“i want you to make me a sword.”

“knife?”

“yes.”

“from what i hear, you don’t seem to know how to make a sword.”

“you’re right.”

at ray’s answer, his facial muscles move hideously.

it’s like seeing something you can’t see.

derp jumped up from his chair and let out a roar.

it was only natural that the hand flew back with noseong.

baka-!

this time, he was hit in the head and fell down.

derf is angry at ray, who is at the peak of his resentment.

“don’t ask others for something you can’t even make yourself!”

what is this again!

isn’t it because you can’t make it!

i can’t even argue with the words that are so far-fetched.

“you’ve lost your mind. i’ll fix that filthy brain.”

i came to make a sword and got a mental modification.

however, it is not possible to come this far and return empty-handed.

ray wept and agreed to eat the mustard.

“i heard the story from aira. from now on, call me master.”

he thought

the thing about the master derp is actually a lie of the dwarves, and maybe they built a house in the mountains to accommodate a troublesome madman.

i was very worried about the days ahead.

* * *

the clear sky is visible through the clear flowing stream.

ray sighed with a face full of worldly worries.

“okay. what kind of trouble is this to get a sword? if i had given you a hammer, i would have hit it with iron.”

it’s been over a month since i came here.

to be precise, it means that it’s been over a month since i’ve been doing crazy things.

he had a lot of iron plates on his back.

it is also made of iron that is tightly tied so that it does not fall.

it was foolish to try to understand it by giving it meaning.

eventually, i realized that when derp said to understand iron, he meant to empty his mind.

knowing this, ray put down the iron plate he had been hugging for over two months.

after throwing off the iron plate, derp gave me a hammer one day.

he said he didn’t even want to see him at some point, but now even standing at the hearth, the fire command doesn’t fall.

if it was like normal times, it wouldn’t be strange if the fist flew already.

“what is this?”

“did you injure your head while thinking about the iron plate? ruin.”

“i have eyes, so i know when i see. so that means...”

“i never thought it would take more than two months just to stand on the furnace. you’re such an incredibly stupid person. from now on, imitate blacksmithing.”

say that you are allowed to enter the smithy from today.

ray’s complexion brightened.

it has been three months since he came to the dwarf village and learned blacksmithing from derp.

it was the first day he got his own hammer.

* * *

a group of soldiers and parchments have arrived from the temple of gaia in the glienne branch.

seongguk is quite busy.

of course, the number of parchments and criminals escorted was not one or two.

punishment or decisions on criminals are settled at the heretic judge or the high priest.

however, if the issue reached the point where it would go beyond their generation, even they had to report it.

since it is the capital of the holy kingdom, many priests reside in selonia.

excluding the priests who escaped in place of the former priests of the gehel branch, the number is close to fifty.

priest eno, who was newly promoted to priest this time, recently had something of interest.

“encrypted parchment... this smells like something.”

unusual looking high-quality parchment and two criminals for interrogation.

furthermore, those sinners who were handed over were priests and paladins.

there is no law that prohibits a priest from committing corruption, but it is not just that, it comes with a parchment with a password written on it, so there is a questionable part.

moreover, the priest of the glienne branch seemed to want to interrogate the two.

hierarch eno noticed that it was a difficult matter to solve alone.

so he decided to report this to his immediate supervisor.

when it comes to the superior of the priest, there is a high priest.

when priest eno asked for a report, the high priest arranged a seat.

“it’s a big deal that you put blue on me first.”

“ha ha ha. it’s embarrassing to come here for something like this.”

“no. no matter how trivial the matter may be, if you feel that it is necessary to report it, i have a duty to listen.”

when the high priestess said that much, the high priestess was also relieved and brought up the story.

“two criminals and a piece of parchment have arrived from the temple built in the kingdom of celia. the sinners were priests and paladins, and the parchment was encrypted and could not be read. it could be just such a corruption case, but i brought it because there was something suspicious.”

“mmm.”

when i handed out the parchment, the high priest accepted it.

“even though i haven’t talked to the head priest of the glien branch, i can feel from the letter that i want to interrogate them.”

“...”

the high priest did not answer him.

no, it was right to assume that he couldn’t take his eyes off the parchment.

he had seen their codes during the invasion of proxia.

it’s not at a level that can be interpreted, but it’s enough to be able to recognize it at first glance.

and the document you are looking at now is very similar to that of that time.

his expression became serious, different from his smile at first.

the high priest thought in his heart that he had made a mistake.

the high priest, who turned the parchment over, tilted it to the side, and even put it on the desk, finally opened his mouth.

“...this isn’t me, but i guess i’ll have to go higher...”

“yes?”

when asked as if wondering, he shook his head and issued a congratulatory order.

“you are welcome to go. let me take on this matter. thank you for watching.”

the high priestess asked me to leave, but priest eno’s liver was not large enough to keep his seat.

when he lowered his head and went out, the high priest, who was left alone, trembled his beard.

“why did they show up again? the holy son must have dealt with it personally... did goddess gaia really give me a trial...”

his voice rang weakly in the office.
