"I have no objection to that. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

King Odin nodded without a word.

It was a sign of approval.

'Very good. I have to end it here.'

Now was the important part.

The previous words were just an introduction.

"There's just one catch."

"Hmm?"

"It's a rule of the Tower of Healing. It states that any healer who treats a patient must be paid a small fee."

Raymond shook his head hastily.

"Of course, that doesn't mean I'm going to accept payment, which is of course ridiculous in a time of war, though I would be grateful if the cost of herbs and such could be covered by the military if possible."

At this, Raymond threw down the gauntlet.

"In exchange, please give credit for every patient I cure, one by one."

"...!"

"That should be more than enough to cover the cost of the treatment."

Taking credit for treating patients!

This was Raymond's game plan.

'If I do this, I can make a lot of money.'

It was a hard sell.

How could this be a way to make money?

But with a little thought, the answer was clear.

What is merit?

It's a great honor and the basis for post-war rewards.

Raymond had earned his merit by healing countless patients, and he was going to demand more than just the cost of his treatments!

'I'll ask for the yolkiest of the Rafalde estate, with a mine or something.'

Even so, Odin promised Raymond that after his victory, one of the Rafalde provinces would be sealed off.

The province of Rafalde varied.

After much merit, he would be granted the most lucrative yolk lands.

The cost of his healing would be incomparable.

War is an opportunity, and this war will make him the richest lord, the Super Rich!

His heart was pounding just thinking about it.

Then Lord Galman asked.

"Why are you making such a request?"

Raymond replied in a determined voice, hiding his greed.

"I'm greedy, too."

"Greedy?"

"Yes, the greed of wanting to do the best for the kingdom."

"...!"

"I want to do more good for the Kingdom of Houston than anyone else. By serving them as a healer."

Is it the 'silver tongue' skill?

There was no hint of greed in his voice, only determination.

Naturally, Raymond made the gullible Galman blink.

"It seems that Baron Penin's intentions are indeed noble. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

It was then that Odin gave an unexpected reaction.
