Episode 110.

“Let’s move.”

“Oh, yes.”

This guy calmly takes money from users he meets for the first time and moves on!

In fact, it was possible because it was something that was expected to some extent.

Arthur asked.

-You knew who it was?

‘No? I didn’t know who he was.’

-…??

It’s not that I expected the opponent, it’s that I expected this situation.

It’s a bit later than I thought, but I’ve been thinking for a long time that one of our users would come looking for it.

The Amphiri Estate is a relatively good estate within the Kingdom of Eton.

Although it feels a bit overshadowed by the Edgar Estate right next door, the actual size and scale of the Estate is not bad.

As such, it is only natural that there would be users and guilds that settled and operated in this territory, and Isin thought that his active activities would stimulate them in some way.

“why?”

“I’m going to take away the public service rankings. Those people have already had them taken away.”

“What does that matter? If the rankings are the problem, you can get them back. Just work hard.”

Can’t you just try again and go find it?

Jeong Yu-ra asks, seeming puzzled.

Her words were very sensible.

But it didn’t reflect reality.

In the past, having lived in the arena, Isin knew very well how serious the users were about rankings.

“That’s because it’s you who thinks that way.”

“okay……?”

“That’s not usually the case.”

Usually, they try to steal or kill the opponent.

Because if you succeed, it’s much more effective than competing fairly.

This tendency is especially evident among users who are competing for rankings.

“… No, isn’t that why you think that way!?”

“no.”

‘I actually experienced it.’

Back in the days of Avala Online 1, when you were playing the game without knowing anything, didn’t you get PKed by an opposing ranker who stole your ranking?

Of course, he paid it back right after he was resurrected, but since it was his first PK, the memory of that time still left a strong impression on Isin.

but.

‘Well, I don’t think that’s the case this time… .’

Unbecoming of the Kingdom of Eton, the opponents were a very gentle group.

When asked for information value, he took out the gold pouch before the knife.

If the positions were opposite, I would have cursed and negotiated (or threatened) without a second thought.

‘Have you been working in another region?’

He was a person who thought about various things.

After a while like that.

“Will this be okay?”

“Yes. That’s good.”

After arriving at the deserted place, Isin was the first to speak.

“First of all, what did the message say?”

“Be careful, they say? There are dark clouds gathering over the territory… .”

“Is that all?”

“yes.”

‘It’s not specific.’

For Isin, it was very vague to think that the Yeongji War actually occurred and even when it occurred.

On the contrary, the fact that they still felt uneasy and came to see Yishin also meant that they were somewhat well-versed in the situation in Yeongji.

The Amphiri estate was a place where big and small incidents and accidents occurred every day.

Even if a warning message pops up, it’s not strange to think that something is going on and not feel particularly alarmed.

You would feel uneasy when you see this message only if you knew in advance that the situation in the territory has been unusual recently.

And such advanced information was something that only high-ranking officials of the territory or those with connections within the guild could know.

Yishin thought to himself.

‘I guess your public service ranking was high.’

Or maybe he gave bribes to several places.

Or both.

Whatever it was, there was a high probability that it was a guild with some influence in this territory.

With that in mind, Lee Shin continued asking questions.

“Have you ever worked here before?”

“Huh? Why is that…?”

“No, just. If you’re anxious, you can just leave, but I find it a bit strange that you came all the way here. If you don’t want to answer, you don’t have to.”

“Oh, no, that’s not it. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? It’s been a few months since I settled down here.”

‘also.’

As expected, the opponent was not an ordinary guild.

It’s a guild with some fundamentals limited to this region!

Thanks to that, many worries passed through Isin’s mind in a short moment.

‘… … .’

Originally, I was planning to just wrap up some useless information into something plausible and end it there.

I had already received the money, and I thought that even if I lied to the other person, there was no way for them to notice right away.

Even if the other party realizes later that they have been deceived, this person will have already left the territory.

Or, even if they keep chasing you, you can easily crush them even at the guild level with the help of Count Aaron’s power.

But if the other party is a group with some influence, the story is different.

Because its utility is proportional to its influence.

It seemed like it could be used in a better way rather than just deceiving people.

“Actually….”

“yes.”

After a brief but deep thought, Isin put back what he had originally intended to say.

And then he revealed the information truthfully.

“Actually, a war of attrition will break out soon.”

“Is this a land war?”

“Yes. There are only a few days left. It will probably explode within three days.”

“Ah, as expected… .”

“?”

Taeyoon sighs.

However, the reaction was much calmer than expected.

Rather than saying, ‘Oh no, suddenly a land transfer!?!?’, it’s more like, ‘It’s coming.’

Isin asked, as if he was curious.

“You’re not that surprised?”

“Actually, I had expected it to some extent since the message appeared. I had recently heard rumors that there was something sinister going on with the neighboring territory…”

“That’s true.”

“Yes. I was hoping that wasn’t the case, but that’s what happened.”

“You were hoping that wasn’t the case?”

“It doesn’t matter as long as we win the battle of Yeongji, but no one knows that, right?”

As the saying goes, the Amphiri territory was not a territory with a very strong military force.

The problem was that if the Amphiri territory lost the territory battle, all the guild funds and public service points tied to the territory would be lost.

You will lose everything you have accumulated just for the main quest.

From Taeyoon’s perspective, this was something that should not have happened.

“… … Phew. So I’m really worried right now. Should I leave or stay?”

“Oh, I see… … .”

Lee Shin nodded as if he felt sorry.

But of course, he wasn’t really comforting her, and he was thinking something else inside.

Thoughts on the upcoming territory war.

‘… … .’

In fact, Isin wasn’t particularly worried about the upcoming battle of Yeongji.

Anyway, the power of the two territories was about the same, and the absolute difference was not that big.

All Lee Shin had to do was watch the battle between the two territories and, at the right time, intervene on the side that seemed likely to win.

Since the power of Edgar’s estate was overwhelming that of the two estates, it was easy to sway the situation with that alone.

If there was one variable, it was the users.

Unlike NPCs, users can be resurrected after death.

Of course, the level would drop by one, but it would be difficult to say that the power was drastically reduced compared to an NPC that just died and disappeared.

In other words, it meant that after just three days, the power would return intact.

However, the number of users in the Eton Kingdom was increasing due to the main quest.

It is so explosive that it is worthy of the expression “explosive.”

What if, in this situation, rumors of a war between the lands spread?

What if a lot of users come together and join the territory war after hearing that rumor?

Then, the result could have been to deviate from the estimate of the person.

And that could be seen as virtually the only variable in the battle of the spirits.

A variable that, although unlikely, could cause headaches when it happens.

However, Lee Shin thought that user variables were inevitable.

Well, how can we stop them from coming?

It is impossible even for the operator, not just for the person himself.

So I tried to just leave it alone… .

A good idea just occurred to me.

‘The premise was wrong.’

What if instead of stopping them from coming, we made them come only in the direction we wanted?

Wouldn’t this be quite possible?

“Mr. Taeyoon.”

“yes?”

After gathering his thoughts, Lee Shin called Tae Yoon, who was still struggling.

And then he shared some of his personal information with the other person.

“Actually, I am this kind of person.”

He is a diplomat for Edgar’s estate.

Can handle various diplomatic matters on behalf of the lord.

“diplomat?”

“yes.”

“I see. … … So that’s it?”

Taeyoon asked, blinking his eyes.

It was strange that a single user had taken the position of a territory diplomat, but I wondered what it meant out of the blue.

‘… Are you bragging about yourself?’

“That’s not it. You said you were anxious because of the territory war.”

“yes.”

“Then would you like to come to our territory? If you do, I can help you settle down.”

“… … !!”

Taeyoon opened his eyes wide at Lee Shin’s words.

A third choice suddenly appears in the easy choice between fighting or leaving!

But that was a very harsh thing to say.

“How can you help me?”

“Well, there are many. But I can’t just help you. There’s one condition.”

“Huh? Ah… … .”

Taeyoon looks disappointed as soon as he hears the word ‘condition’!

It was like the expression on a friend’s face when he takes out an insurance booklet after a long time.

Then, Lee Shin quickly continued his story.

“It’s okay. It’s not difficult.”

“… … .”

“It’s really nothing. Just gather other users and participate in the territory battle with us. That’s it.”

Attracting users by focusing on large guilds like the Phoenix Guild, while also putting them at the forefront to minimize losses to the territory army.

This is the method that Lee Shin had in mind.

If we succeed, we can eliminate variables as variables and minimize the power loss in the territory.

“…Us?”

“Soldiers of the Territory. I know a little about it since my position is that of a certain rank…”

Perhaps Count Aaron intends to intervene in the war between the two territories.

At Lee Shin’s words, Taeyoon slowly turned his head again.

“Which side?”

“I guess I’ll stick to the side that has the advantage?”

“… … !!”

These words were decisive.

They openly said they would only fight battles that were advantageous to them, which meant that a certain level of safety was guaranteed.

Even in such a situation, if he did well, he could earn a decent amount of public service points, and even if he didn’t, he had already been promised settlement support, so Taeyoon had no reason to refuse.

“I will do it!”

* * *

Tae-yoon eventually accepted Lee Shin’s offer.

Yishin nodded with satisfaction.

“You thought about it well.”

“Can I go right away?”

“You can come as soon as you’re ready. Come and go to the guild and ask for me. Oh, and if possible, it would be good to gather as many other users as possible.”

“Oh, that’s it. Okay, I understand.”

Taeyoon nodded and quickly disappeared with his guild members.

Now that we’ve decided to leave the territory, we’re moving quickly.

This person also headed straight to Edgar’s estate.

I originally thought about going to the stadium, but I put that off for now.

The arena is something that can be done anytime anyway, and there were more important things to do right now.

‘You have to do it properly when you do it.’

Since we’ve already decided to attract users.

Isin, who thought it would be a good idea to use all the cards he could, went to see Dokgo.
