Dark-Haired British Doctor Chapter 358

Episode 358 19th Century Shodak [4]

"no……."

Whether I laugh or not, the wrestling has begun.

It's not the Greco-Roman style wrestling that you usually think of, it's a bit, what should I say…?

It was a match that I would say was somewhere between that and professional wrestling.

"eww……."

“Haha are you okay?”

In fact, it was half a fight, to put it mildly.

What was surprising was that Lincoln was able to hold his own against Liston to some extent.

Although he was taller, I thought he would be blown away in one blow because of the difference in physical size, but he seemed to be quite strong.

“As expected, it’s the Black Sword…….”

But the coachman behind me reacted a bit strangely.

What should I say?

Should I say I was really surprised?

“Why is that?”

“Huh? Oh, no… I’m Lincoln… an undefeated wrestler.”

“Undefeated? Really?”

"yes."

"no……."

So I asked and got a really unexpected answer.

I looked again just in case, and sure enough, it was Abraham Lincoln.

It's correct because the name is written like that.

Surely there won't be another one with the same name.

In Korea, I've seen quite a few people with the same name, but this culture isn't like that at all.

First of all, there are so many different surnames that it would be impossible to memorize them all.

It is natural that people are so specialized that you can tell their origins and status just by looking at their first or last name.

'But why a wrestler? And undefeated at that?'

So, this person is Abraham Lincoln, who later won the American Civil War and led the United States to complete unity… … .

It's amazing what a wrestler is.

Just by looking at his appearance, he looks like he hasn't even eaten a single bite.

Of course, judging by the way he's rolling up his sleeves, the muscles themselves are quite well developed.

‘Really… … Isn’t this the Earth I originally knew?’

Is Lincoln here becoming a great wrestler rather than becoming president?

Just as I was about to have this thought, Liston picked up Lincoln, who had fallen.

Lincoln was still so shocked that he couldn't speak properly.

I don't know if it was because he felt sorry for her or because he liked her because she was his kind of rival, but Liston was offering him some rare words of comfort.

It's amazing, really.

“Look here. It’s not something to be so gloomy about. Isn’t your opponent coming?”

Of course, that comfort wasn't the norm.

It's okay because I'm the opponent.

It's not like he's a MXX from OneX or something…

“You said you were a blacksmith?”

“Yeah. I killed this bear too. Actually, if I hadn’t had a knife, I would have just killed it with my fists.”

“That… I guess that could be the case.”

The conversation that followed was even more spectacular.

I could have beaten the bear to death… … .

Isn't that something that even a boastful old man wouldn't say?

But they were both serious.

“So don’t be embarrassed. You said you’ve never lost before.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“That makes sense. Certainly… it seems like it would be hard to beat you anywhere but me.”

“Is that true?”

“Yeah. You’re the strongest man I’ve ever seen.”

“Huh… So does that mean I should go down the path of a wrestler?”

I like being serious.

The Wrestler's Way?

That's good too.

That's good… … but no matter what, it doesn't seem right for a future great politician to become a wrestler.

If it had just happened by chance, I wouldn't know, but I feel like this is a bit because of me.

This is a bit like that.

“Yes, I will become the world champion.”

“Haha. It gives me courage.”

Somehow, I felt more and more motivated to fight, so I couldn't help but get involved.

“Wait, wait. That’s not what I saw.”

“Huh? Isn’t this the energy you saw? Wasn’t it wrong this time? Look at this power.”

“Yes, I also, after listening to you… Actually, I want to go into politics… but I don’t think I have the talent. Studying… is too hard. At this rate, when will I ever be able to become a lawyer?”

No, it won't work.

I'm sinking deeper into the swamp.

Lincoln, you bastard! How can a man who is supposed to free black slaves be so weak!

'Well… … It's not that I don't understand.'

I want to go and scream and scold him, but… … .

It can't be like that at all, the current scene inside Lincoln's house looks just like a 21st century documentary.

How hard did our youth have to go through?

They keep making up strange words like 3-po generation or 4-po generation… … .

'Bestseller… … Rise up!'

I almost lived diligently.

'No, not this kind of thing.'

This might help some people, but not Lincoln.

“Lincoln County.”

“Oh, yes.”

After rummaging through my head, I found some words that were worth salvaging.

So I quickly called Lincoln over, who was becoming more and more determined to become a wrestler.

His eyes are blurry, it seems he has already forgotten who he is.

It is indeed the Black Liston.

Maybe he used magic.

When you think of martial arts, the first thing that comes to mind is a master of the Jeongpa school, so I used to think of him that way, but now I see that he seems to be a master of the Sapa school.

Well, in terms of appearance and actions, it seems that Sapa is more suitable.

“Why do you want to go into politics?”

"ah……."

Anyway, I asked a question.

I heard somewhere that when giving advice, it's better to ask questions rather than just explaining things.

Even more so if the opponent is Lincoln.

Because this person is someone who can stand alone.

uh?

Unlike a small creature like me!

“Is there a reason why you want to become a wrestler?”

“Ah… no. This is just to make money.”

“Why do you want to make money?”

“Because I wanted to get into politics…….”

Of course, I was asking some questions with some intention.

But the reason this works is because deep down, Lincoln already had the will to go that direction.

Even now, politics is being talked about a lot.

“So why do you want to do it?”

“For the advancement of America. And… for the emancipation of slaves.”

“Have you ever seen how slaves live?”

“In Louisiana.”

“I see. I’ve seen it once. It was miserable. If America is to rise as a great power, it must shake off such bad habits.”

“But to do that… it’s impossible for a local council member. I’ll have to go up a level… how can I, who failed the bar exam?”

The problem is confidence.

Repeated failures seem to have eaten away at the spirit of this seemingly resilient man.

But what I felt while talking was that it seemed like it would recover on its own if left alone.

Aren't there friends like that?

Kids who just joke around for no reason.

But there are kids who always manage to do what they want to do.

Lincoln seemed ten times stronger than those guys.

But, if you were a Joseon shaman, this was the time you had to place a bet.

“President. That’s the feeling I got.”

"yes?"

“What are you talking about? You?”

At my words, Lincoln, of course, and Liston also blinked.

I was looking around the room without realizing it, and the more I looked around, the more I realized that what I said was wrong, and my eyes were getting tense.

Even I thought it was a space that would do that.

It was really frustrating.

but…….

I know the future.

“I’ll become president. If you don’t believe me, I’ll bet on it. Hmm… Okay, this!”

So I took out a gold nugget that was in my bosom.

It's a bit small for something that banged its head on a desk… …but it's still gold.

This gold was truly a strange thing, and it had the power to dazzle anyone in front of it.

Poor Lincoln was no exception.

"this……."

“I’ll give you this. When I become President, I’ll pay you back a hundredfold, Mr. Lincoln.”

“No…… Such an expensive item…….”

“I’m giving it to you so that you can study without worrying about anything, so take it.”

"that……."

Liston looked at me and Lincoln like that and said a word.

“It looks like Pyeong is betting on gold. This guy may look like this, but he’s really a stingy person. He’s a stingy person, he’s a stingy person.”

He even mixed in some idioms, fearing that someone might say he was the one kidnapping the Joseon people.

It wasn't something that could be misunderstood in context, and Lincoln, being the brilliant man he was, didn't ask useless questions like "What is it?"

“Really?”

“Yes. That’s right!”

“I understand. I will never forget this favor.”

“It’s not a favor, you must never forget the bet.”

“Haha. Yes, I will do that!”

“Okay. Haha. I’ll be rooting for you. If you need any more support in the future, please contact me.”

I put my business card down next to the gold nugget, looking very cool.

It wasn't the small business card we usually know.

Just think of it as a piece of paper with my address, title, etc. written on it.

Anyway, since it was a nobleman's business card, Lincoln was very pleased with it.

Even though he wasn't a member of the American aristocracy, he did that.

what…….

America is a country founded by colonists without foundations, so there is no such thing as aristocracy… … .

“But you know.”

"yes."

So we left Illinois and headed to Kansas.

It was to take care of my beloved disciple, John Snow.

In fact, I knew that they were doing well because we exchanged brief letters, but I still felt bad about leaving my child behind in a faraway land.

So I was in quite a hurry.

“Do you really think that guy will become President of the United States?”

“Didn’t you say there was nothing special about America?”

“That’s right. But the more I look at it… Look at this land. It’s a vast and abundant land. If you think about it, isn’t it because of this place that the colonists were able to prosper and become independent? It’ll only get better in the future….”

“That person is also a great person.”

“But the strength is strong.”

“No, he’s a straight-minded person. You can tell just by looking at his appearance.”

I was riding a carriage and it was almost like I was flying.

Nevertheless, we were able to have a conversation, and it was Liston Duck.

He was holding my body tightly so that it wouldn't shake too much.

He is truly an amazing gentleman, truly.

“Well… I guess I don’t have any friends. But what’s with the fact that you told me to be careful with guns when you get older?”

“I’ll tell you later. Isn’t there anyone more hated than someone who doesn’t know how to compromise? If you tell people who are making money by exploiting black slaves to free the slaves……”

“I guess so.”

Thanks to that, I arrived a little less bored.

Kansas, which I saw after a long time, was still messy.

The only difference was that there were people standing at the entrance, and they were people we knew.

"huh."

“I heard you found out something, so it looks like you’ve been waiting with bated breath.”

John Snow, along with the bodyguards he had left behind and some of the townspeople, were with them.

I thought the patient might not have died.

If that were the case, there wouldn't have been such a friendly atmosphere.

“Come in, Master!”

“Oh, yeah. Is there any good news?”

“As I said before, the patient has all gotten better.”

"and?"

“First of all, this way… I conducted some research while I was here.”
