Login Psychopath - Chapter 101



Only Noblemtl

Episode 101.

The next day, as soon as he logged into the game, Isin went straight to Yeongju Castle.

It was to discuss with Count Aaron and arrange Adam’s whereabouts as quickly as possible.

“Who are you!? … Ah, are you an adventurer?”

“Can I come in?”

“Of course.”

The power of power!

The soldiers who knew Lee Shin’s face let him pass without any particular inspection.

After entering the castle, Lee Shin grabbed a nearby servant and asked him.

“yes?”

“Where is the Count?”

The servant answered.

“You mean the Count? Oh! The Count happened to be looking for you, adventurer.”

“me?”

“yes.”

“For what reason?”

“I don’t know about that either… He’s probably patrolling the territory. How about going and checking it out yourself?”

“… … .”

Lee Shin nodded.

“Don’t do that.”

[A party member has connected.]

As Lee Shin went to find the count, Jeong Yu-ra and Arthur also came in on time.

After joining Isin, Arthur asked.

“Where are we going?”

“To find the Count.”

“What about the dungeon?”

“That’s why I’m looking for you.”

“… … ?”

Arthur had an expression on his face that said he didn’t know, but instead of answering, Isin turned on the status window.

The purpose was to look into skills that I had acquired last time but had not checked.

‘Status window, check skills.’

Second Vision Sword of Murder

The black sword of slaughter must be swift.

Uses half of your maximum mana to deliver a swift strike.

•The critical hit damage of attacks made with this skill increases by 30% and ignores 50% of the opponent’s defense.

•When you kill an enemy with this skill, all mana used is refunded and the skill’s cooldown is reset.

• Damage of all attacks using a sword increases by 5% (passive applied).

• Cooldown: 600 seconds.

‘hmm?’

Isin’s eyes lit up.

It was a skill that was certain to be effective.

As a downside, the cooldown time was quite long.

It’s not a skill that has as much destructive power and variable creation as the range magic of wizard users, so the 10-minute cooldown was excessive.

Also, there were too many resources being used.

However, in a way, all of these shortcomings were problems that could be easily solved.

Just use it at the right time and place, and you’ll be able to kill your opponent in one shot.

The moment you kill an opponent, you get your mana back and the cooldown is reset, so the disadvantages mentioned above completely disappear.

‘The damage is a bit weak, though….’

Critical hit damage increases by 30%, ignoring 50% of defense.

If you just look at the numbers, it may seem like a big deal, but in the end, it just ends in a short term.

However, considering the potential utility of the skill, this felt natural.

Because Isin had one more skill related to consecutive kills.

Serial killings

When you cause a chain of kills in a short period of time, your attack power, movement speed, and evasion rate increase by 100%.

• Activation Condition: Kill 10 or more people within 0.7 seconds

•Duration: 4 seconds, time refreshed when involved in a kill.

It’s serial killing.

There’s also ‘Critical Hit Stack-Explosion’.

With the attack power, movement speed, and evasion rate greatly increased, if you could just explode with critical hit stacks and keep resetting the sword, a tremendous synergy effect would occur.

Yishin nodded with satisfaction.

‘Not bad.’

Of course, you have to use it to know its exact performance, but just looking at the description, it seems like a skill with great individuality and potential.

If it was Lee Shin, I was confident that I could cover the difficulty level with my skills.

It was a moment of growing anticipation for the remaining vision skills that had yet to be acquired.

[Gashin, you have become closer to Count Aaron.]

By the time he finished checking his skills, Isin was able to find the Count.

The count, seen in the distance, was surrounded by numerous people of the estate.

“Found it. … … Hmm?”

Isin, who was about to approach, stopped in his tracks.

There was something strange about the atmosphere between the count and the people of the estate.

The villagers were all saying something to the count as if they were being treated unfairly, and the count was quietly listening to them with a troubled expression.

‘what?’

Isin tilted his head.

Surely, Count Aaron’s popularity among the people of Yeongji must have been very high?

‘What’s going on?’

“No, isn’t it just because of you?”

“me?”

“Not long ago, you were spending a lot of money on credit, saying it wasn’t yours.”

“… … Oh, is that so?”

Jung Yu-ra’s guess was true.

The villagers who happened to find this person were swearing at him and saying this.

“I’ll talk about that part later….”

“… Hmm? No, Count! It’s him!”

“That guy is on credit at our store…!”

[There are complaints from residents.]

“… Sir Arthur.”

The count approached Isin with a troubled expression on his face at the residents’ protests.

Then he looked around briefly and said in a lowered voice.

“No, what on earth have you been doing…!”

“What’s going on?”

“The residents’ complaints are beyond words! And what’s more, the debts billed in my name alone have already exceeded 30 million gold!”

[The Count expresses his displeasure.]

[The Count’s loyalty decreases by 3 for your unreasonable actions.]

[If the Count does not provide a satisfactory explanation, your loyalty may decrease further.]

‘… Did I write that much?’

Isin scratched his cheek.

Even if you exchange it for cash, it’s a huge amount!

This disaster occurred because most of the inventory was filled with small but expensive orders.

“I need some explanation. Why on earth would you do something like this!?”

“… … .”

The count demanded an explanation, but he had nothing to offer to Isin.

After all, the reason why this person did this was purely out of personal greed.

If you use that as a reason, it’s obvious that the situation will only get worse.

“That’s not what’s important right now.”

So, Lee Shin completely changed the subject of the conversation.

Originally, it was easier to cover up difficult questions like this with another issue rather than trying to explain them.

“yes?”

“There are more important things than money.”

“… … For that, the amount you spent is not a small sum, is it?”

The count’s discontent was natural.

No matter how wealthy the Edgar County was, blowing twelve million gold coins overnight with personal funds was bound to cause problems.

However, Isin ignored the Count’s natural complaints and stubbornly continued to speak his mind.

“count.”

“yes.”

“Do you remember the conversation we had right after the duel?”

“Right after the sparring….”

At Isin’s question, the count’s expression instantly turned serious.

The count moved to a quiet place and opened his mouth.

“Of course I remember. … … Didn’t you say that you would change the heavens of this kingdom?”

Heaven of the Kingdom.

He was referring to the current king.

“That’s right.”

“Why are you suddenly talking about that? Have you changed your mind?”

“That can’t be. The revival of the kingdom is my natural task. … However, if things continue as they are now, there is no hope for us.”

“…There is no hope?”

“okay.”

“What does that mean?”

Isin brought up the story he had prepared in advance to the count, who had suddenly become serious.

“I thought about it… .”

Treason isn’t something that can be done in a day or two.

The ultimate goal is the king, but there are of course many hurdles to overcome to get there.

Only after dealing with the nobles who empower the king, their private soldiers, and even the royal troops, will you have a chance to claim the throne.

“yes?”

“yes.”

This was a task that could not be accomplished by one or two people.

In order to deal with the enemy’s army, we also needed an army of a suitable level.

The problem was that Earl Aaron’s forces were currently too small to train an army of that level.

If you look at a single territory, it overwhelms other territories in all aspects, including economic power and military power, but that’s it.

It was obviously impossible to take on the entire royal family alone.

“yes?”

“… … Yes. But if he’s a private, can’t we start raising him now?”

“Of course it should be. … … So. There’s someone I’d like to recommend.”

“…?”

Now that the groundwork has been laid, Lee Shin slowly moves on to the main topic.

“Who are you?”

“He’s a wizard.”

“…wizard!”

“He is very capable, and he would never betray me. He doesn’t even take a salary.”

“That fool…, no, there’s a wizard…?!”

The count was shocked by Yishin’s words, but soon his face brightened.

Originally, skilled magicians were usually very expensive and had strong pride, making them a difficult resource to use, so if what Isin said was true, it was not a bad thing at all for the Count.

The count asked.

“Can I meet you too?”

“Of course. Do you want to meet up right away?”

“yes.”

“Okay. Then let’s take him to Yeongju Castle. Prepare a secret room for him.”

“Yes! … Yes? Why the closed room…?”

* * *

Lee Shin headed straight to the dungeon.

“Let’s go out.”

-at las…!

“Wear this so you don’t get caught outside.”

-Rob? Got it.

Then, wrapping Adam tightly in his arms, he headed to the secret room prepared by the Count.

“This is sleeping.”

“… … No, aren’t you a human!?!?”

[Earl Aaron is horrified.]

The count, seeing Richie, of course started a fight and shouted.

“Did I say I was human?”

“It definitely was! … … No, it’s even more dangerous than that!”

[The Count releases his mana.]

[The Count…]

Woohoo!!!!!

The count, half-maddened by the sudden appearance of a lich in the middle of his territory, tried to attack Adam without thinking about the consequences.

It was Isin who stopped it.

“stop.”

Isin quickly stood between the Count and Adam.

“Master!? It’s dangerous!!”

“It’s okay. Didn’t I tell you before? You can never betray me.”

“That… … um?”

It was only then that the Count noticed that Adam was unusually obedient for a normal undead.

Not only did he not show any hostility when faced with an opponent who had drawn his sword, he did not even take the minimum of a defensive stance.

At this, the count let his guard down and asked.

“What happened? Isn’t Richie usually like this…?”

“I’ll explain that later. For now… .”

First, Isin explained about Adam’s ability to create golems.

It is said that you can create a golem of the level 200 mid-adventurer level alone.

The count nodded.

“Well, since he’s rich….”

“how is it.”

“yes?”

“Wouldn’t it be helpful if we incorporated them into our territory? We’ll probably need a lot of troops already. Wouldn’t it be helpful if we had a lot of golems?”

“Oh, that’s….”

The count muttered as if possessed.

But soon he realized something was strange and hurriedly took his words back.

“… No, it’s not that, isn’t it? It’s undead, undead!”

“Why is that?”

“It’s unclean!”

“Wouldn’t it be okay if I just wash it well?”

“… … No!”

The count was stubborn, but Isin persuaded him step by step.

There were many justifications that could be put forward, such as, ‘It is for the sake of the land,’ ‘It is an unavoidable part to achieve a greater cause,’ etc.

Eventually, the count could not hold out for long and had no choice but to nod.

“… Okay. Okay, I understand.”

[I persuaded the Count.]

[Rich Adam is incorporated into the Earldom of Edgar.]
