Episode 109.

‘yes?’

‘It’s the main quest.’

The guild members’ reaction to Guild Master Taeyoon’s words was lukewarm at first.

If you are more active than others in the main quest, you can jump to the top ranks in one go. I get the gist of what you are saying, but…

‘Okay?’

‘What if it doesn’t come up?’

‘what?’

‘It’s the main quest.’

If it doesn’t come up, it’s ruined.

Of course, this could widen the existing gap further, making it impossible to narrow the gap with the top tier again.

but.

‘No! It’ll come out!’

‘That’s what Gilma thinks.’

‘No. It’s probably true.’

‘… Is this even possible?’

‘Of course. Think about it, it’s already happened once in other kingdoms, but only the Kingdom of Eton hasn’t. Mathematically speaking, it’s 100%!?’

Gilma shows off his miraculous calculations!

It was just a claim that pretended to be logical, but it was nonsense according to common sense… .

‘uh?’

‘…Is that so?’

‘That’s right!’

There is a reason why they say that people stick together.

The leadership was persuaded by Gilma’s claims.

‘Okay! Let’s stay!’

‘Our guild should produce a ranker too!’

‘Once I become famous, I’ll try appearing on TV!’

‘I see, isn’t that so?’

And actually, considering that the main quest was triggered, this stupid stubbornness ended up being helpful.

Of course, it was an event that happened purely by God’s will, regardless of their calculations.

anyway.

Thanks to this fantastic combination, they remained steadfastly while others left the Kingdom of Eton, building a guild house and completing territory quests as they came across them, laying the foundation.

Before the main quest started, I tried to build a connection with the nobles.

And this was a more difficult process than they thought.

Of course, I had done the territory quest before, so I knew how to do it… .

The problem was the process itself.

… … .

‘…Why is this the only thing here!?’

Quests with equally gruesome content!

There were only quite awkward things, reflecting the chaotic situation of the kingdom.

This tendency was more evident in higher-level quests that gave a lot of public service points.

The biggest problem of all was that it became notorious.

And at a speed that is unimaginable outside of the Kingdom of Eton.

Looking at this, it seems that the rumor about a ‘kingdom where notoriety increases just by breathing’ was not wrong.

Rather, the rumors were surprisingly accurate in depicting the reality of the kingdom.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I couldn’t do it.

If you only do quests that have nothing to do with notoriety, even if you do it for 100 days, it won’t be very meaningful (you get less public service points).

When everyone else was leaving, I had to find a reason to stay in the Kingdom of Eton, even if I didn’t want to.

‘… I can’t help it.’

Taeyoon made a decision.

Just do it!

And the notoriety that has risen must be lowered somehow, whether by donating money to the church or doing something else!

If your notoriety rises to a point where you can’t make up for it with donations, then you can manage your notoriety by taking a break from doing quests.

… It was almost like buying public service with time and gold, but this method was effective in its own way.

It was the driving force that allowed the Phoenix Guild to enter the rankings of territory public service in a short period of time.

[10th place in the ranking of public service achievements.]

[Your news is now known to the lord.]

[The lord begins to take interest in you.]

‘at las!’

The long awaited message.

Taeyoon clenched his fists and rejoiced.

Since I’m starting to get some responses, I think I’ll be able to meet the lord if I just move up a level or two.

But that wasn’t the case.

The change happened recently.

[There will be changes in the ranking of the public value of the territory.]

[The public ranking drops by one level, to 11th place.]

[Two guild achievement benefits will be lost.]

‘uh?’

A message that suddenly appeared one day.

For Taeyoon, who thought he was almost there, it was like a bolt from the blue.

No, it wasn’t just Taeyoon who was struck by lightning.

The entire guild that had suffered together was turned upside down.

‘what!’

‘Who is it!?’

‘Is there any other guild working on public works besides us?’

‘No. Even if we had, we were faster.’

‘Then who is it…?’

Its identity was soon discovered.

Since the incident broke out, there was a user who was constantly visiting Yeongju Castle, and I couldn’t help but notice.

‘Doesn’t that look like him?’

‘uh.’

‘But was there such a person in this territory?’

‘There wasn’t. If there was, there’s no way we wouldn’t have known. I think it came a while ago.’

‘So you raised your public service value that much in that short period of time by yourself?’

‘… … .’

‘… … .’

‘…I know?’

‘… … No, what, have you been collecting taxes all day?’

What someone said at the end spoke volumes to everyone.

And surprisingly, that was the correct answer.

Lee Shin squeezed out taxes that didn’t exist, created wanted criminals that didn’t exist, and started riots that didn’t happen.

It’s possible because the nature of your job means you don’t have to be concerned about notoriety!

Thanks to this, everything that the Phoenix Guild had built up was surpassed in an instant.

Of course, Taeyoon couldn’t have known this fact….

Anyway, the guild was on emergency alert.

‘What should I do?’

‘… … .’

‘… … Should I kill him first?’

The first answer that popped out!

They weren’t originally like this, but they had become accustomed to the ways of the Eton Kingdom.

The fact that the opponents only travel with a small number of people without a guild also contributed to this suggestion.

I don’t know what level my opponent is at, but I thought that if I pushed them with numbers, I would be able to do something!

‘hmm…….’

‘how is it?’

‘Not bad, but let’s wait a little longer.’

After much thought, Taeyoon shook his head.

This is because the opponent not only had high public stats, but also seemed to have a very high level of intimacy with the Count.

If that were indeed the case, the problem could become more serious.

‘You might get retaliated against.’

‘ah…….’

‘but.’

‘How about waiting a little longer and then making a recruitment offer?’

There must be a lot of inconveniences for the opponents if they move around without a guild, so wouldn’t it be okay to fill that gap and ask them to make a line with the lord instead?

‘That’s a good idea… .’

‘Okay, then let’s do that.’

Let’s just watch for a while and then approach first.

It was the most reasonable solution.

… but before they could even approach Isin, the incident occurred.

[Caution!]

[Cirque durricanes begin to gather in the territory.]

* * *

[Cirque durricanes begin to gather in the territory.]

“… … !?”

“what!”

Dark clouds hang over the territory.

It wasn’t a friendly explanation, but the Phoenix Guild, which had connections with several high-ranking officials in the territory, had a rough idea of ​​what it meant.

“Could it be Yeongjijeon?”

“…omg!”

This was not a leap.

I don’t know the details, but I vaguely knew that the lord’s mood has been bad recently, and that relations with the neighboring lords have been rapidly deteriorating.

Considering the warning message above, there was a good chance of a land war.

“What should we do…?”

And this was a pretty serious problem.

For the average user, it’s enough to side with the side that seems likely to win and just collect the rewards.

If you are not sure who will win, just leave the territory before getting involved in a territory battle.

Either way, there’s no harm in it!

But they said it was impossible.

Because most of the guild itself, including their guild house, was tied to the Amphiri estate.

In that situation, if you leave and the Amphiri Territory loses the Territory War…

“…Then we’re ruined?”

“yes.”

Most of the guild’s assets are lost, and all the accumulated public service points are lost.

It’s literally going to be a total mess!

However, I was not confident enough to participate in the battle of the spirits, as I was not certain that I would definitely win.

Because the Amphiri Territory was not a territory with a very strong military force.

“Ugh… .”

If a territory war is held soon, would you bet on this side’s victory and participate?

Or, should I start now and recover as many recoverable assets as possible before leaving here?

It’s an easy choice that leaves you with an uneasy feeling no matter what you choose.

That’s why Taeyoon was worried.

“… No, no.”

“yes?”

“Just ask and decide. Doesn’t that person know exactly what’s going on?”

“Who… Ah!”

* * *

[A fief war soon breaks out as the two counts declare a fief war.]

[Time left: 3 days]

‘Okay.’

The battle of the spirits finally happened!

The fate of two territories was divided by one person’s trickery.

Yishin nodded with satisfaction and spoke to the group.

“Let’s go back now.”

“yes.”

There were still three days left until the Territory War broke out, and even if it did happen, I planned to just watch until things heated up to a certain extent.

So, for the time being, there was nothing to do.

‘I don’t know what a golem is even if I look at it… Should I go to the arena?’

arena.

It was just a random thought, but thinking back on it, it wasn’t a bad idea.

When I had some free time, there was nothing better than the stadium.

Also, since the response to the previous arena video was not bad, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to prepare a sequel now.

“I, I… … .”

“… … ?”

But before Lee Shin could leave, a voice spoke from behind him.

When Isin looked back, users he had never seen before were approaching him.

“Me?”

“Yes. Can I talk to you for a moment?”

“…Who are you?”

Yishin asked back in a lowered voice.

‘Are you a scammer?’

That was the first thought that came to mind.

As soon as you leave Yeongju Castle, it approaches you as if it had been waiting for you?

Because the timing was just so perfect.

Also, since the Kingdom of Eton had so many plundering players, it was inevitable that they would be wary of such trivial things.

But contrary to my worries, my opponent wasn’t exactly that type of person.

“We are the Phoenix Guild.”

“yes.”

“I was wondering if you knew anything about the message that just appeared. I heard you and Youngju talk about something often… Haha.”

“ah…….”

‘That’s what it was.’

Yishin replied, taking his hand off the sword.

“Hmm. I know that, but it’s information I had a hard time finding.”

“yes?”

“I feel a bit awkward telling you this in person. There has to be some back and forth. … … You know what I mean?”

As he spoke, Isin tapped his waist.

What this meant was simple.

Give me money!

It wasn’t that Isin was particularly desperate for gold, but the more gold the better.

“Oh, if you want, I’ll pay you!”

“How much?”

“Huh? Uh, uh… How much do you want?”

“It’s a bit awkward for me to say that myself. I’ll tell you as much as you’ve given me.”

“… … Yes?”

Hey, you’re proposing a fantastic deal!

Taeyoon was momentarily embarrassed, but he was the one in the unfortunate position right now.

He soon came to his senses and started taking out the gold one by one.

“Is this enough…?”

[You will receive 300,000 gold.]

“Three hundred thousand?”

“yes?”

Isin frowned openly.

A hundred thousand gold was not a small amount, but considering the level of equipment the opponent had, it seemed like he could still get more out of it.

“Hmm… … .”

“Is there a problem?”

“No, no. It’s no problem. I just have to tell you as much as I received. … … But I was wondering if you would be okay with information worth three hundred thousand gold.”

“yes?”

“Wouldn’t it be better to use it clearly when writing? It seems like there are a lot of guild members who are attached to it… .”

“… … !!”

Lee Shin looked meaningfully at the guild members behind him and trailed off.

A strangely unsettling way of speaking!

Taewoon thought he had given enough information, but this made him change his mind.

“Ouch! I’ll give you more.”

“How much?”

“Uh, uh, just a moment… .”

[You will receive 300,000 gold.]

The value of information doubles with just one word!

Lee Shin raised the corners of his mouth.

“Now you’re starting to make sense.”

“haha….”

“It’s a bit awkward to talk about this here. Should we move?”

“Oh, yes.”
