Login Psychopath - Chapter 128



Only Noblemtl

Episode 128.

“Huh? How did you know?”

“Huh? It just seems like there are a lot of people in the guild these days, so maybe.”

“Oh, right. There have been a lot of them lately.”

The party leader looked around and nodded in understanding.

Jeong Yu-ra asked.

“What quest is it?”

“Um… … I wasn’t supposed to tell you originally. But since we’re in the same party anyway, I’ll tell you.”

“Oh, yes.”

“Actually, the lord recently hired an adventurer party as his escort.”

Fortunately, the party leader opened his mouth very easily.

It seems like he has no idea that Jung Yu-ra is a spy or a queen bee user!

“How much?”

“Not many, but maybe a few top-tier parties? Right now, only the Union Guild and other top-tier guilds have entered the mansion… But judging by the atmosphere, I think we’ll be receiving the same quest soon.”

“I see.”

‘also.’

Jeong Yu-ra nodded.

As expected by Isin, the lord was on guard against Kaka and was increasing his troops inside the mansion.

By using the territory quest, which is the unique authority of the lord.

“Then, then can you include us… no, me too?”

“Oh, of course. Of course.”

“I have no merit.”

“It’s okay because there are many of us!”

Of course, by the time you join, you will have disbanded the party and left… .

First of all, consent to participate was obtained.

Jeong Yu-ra turned her head slightly.

– Should I ask more questions?

‘Yes. If possible, it would be good to find out more specifically. When did they start collecting, how many people are there, etc.’

– okay.

After exchanging whispers with Arthur for a moment, Jeong Yu-ra continued asking questions.

First of all, let me start with the natural reason.

“But why is that?”

“yes?”

“The nobles don’t look so favorably on adventurers. Why did you hire them?”

“Uh… … Well, I don’t know? I heard they’re preparing for some kind of battle, but I’m not sure. I think no one but the Union Guild knows the details.”

“aha.”

That battle probably refers to revenge against Kaka.

“How many parties have you attended?”

“Umm… First of all, there’s the Union Guild. There are a few more besides that. I think that after a little more time passes, there will be about seven including ours.”

“Then, if we look at the number of people, it would be around a hundred?”

“Yes. It will probably be around that much.”

“Mercenaries….”

“It’s similar to the number of users.”

“aha.”

A party place where the wind blows!

Although he asked questions in a suspiciously detailed manner, he didn’t seem particularly suspicious.

‘…thank god.’

Jung Yu-ra was quite nervous about her first role, but thanks to her, she felt relieved and continued asking questions.

“I have another question….”

“Oh, yes! Ask me anything.”

* * *

The information that Jeong Yu-ra obtained flowed directly to Lee Shin.

– I went to a party.

‘What? Already?’

– I just asked them to put it in, so they did.

‘… … Oh, right. Did you find out anything?’

– Yes. I think the Count hired about two hundred users and mercenaries.

‘That’s all?’

– Yeah. Listening to what other people say, I don’t think it’ll increase any further from here.

‘Really? Phew… .’

A slightly relieved person.

Because it wasn’t as many as I was worried about.

It seemed that a lot of the money the Count spent came from Kaka’s pocket.

‘but.’

It would have been difficult to secure troops while spending money like water, as usual.

To do that, you need to borrow money from Kaka, but if you suddenly borrow a lot of money from Kaka, he will notice something suspicious.

Thanks to that, the situation of having guards all over the mansion was avoided.

‘… … .’

But it was less than I was worried about, it was still a lot.

Because these two hundred are not all, but the soldiers and knights that the lord originally had will be combined.

And these words supported the conclusion that Yishin had just reached.

‘After all, luring is essential.’

When Isin and Gilaim looked around the mansion, they couldn’t find any areas that were particularly unsafe.

The soldiers’ morale was high because the Count was so sensitive, and there were so many people.

In the first place, it was an environment in which it was not easy for a surveillance gap to occur.

However, it wasn’t all bad.

‘Is that a good thing?’

It was possible to know through the information obtained by Jeong Yu-ra that the Count did not have an abundance of gold.

The count said that he was not increasing the number of troops as much as possible, but was increasing them appropriately and maintaining that number.

It meant that the Count did not have much gold.

And this could have made the Count impatient.

Hiring troops is a problem, but maintaining them also requires a lot of money.

Because of this, the Count was likely to want to finish his revenge as quickly as possible, and if Kaka showed any weakness in this anxious state, he would be easily caught.

‘No more?’

– Also? Um… … Ah. The Union Guild I mentioned before is also participating. It was the first one I was offered.

‘… … .’

Isin let out a sigh.

I thought this would happen when I started doing territory quests in the Union Guild, and it was as expected.

It seemed that the lord was planning to control the users centered around the Union Guild with the highest public service value.

‘I have to be careful.’

It was already impossible to get caught during the intrusion process, but now there is even more reason to avoid it.

Isin nodded as if remembering and continued to ask.

‘I knew that too. And?’

– That’s all for now. There’s not much we know yet.

Those with high public service ratings in the territory are given important roles, but the guild that Jeong Yu-ra joined is said to be one of the lowest among the guilds hired this time.

– I’ll let you know more later when I find out.

‘Okay, I understand. … Ah, now let’s send Arthur back.’

– huh.

* * *

A few days later.

Yishin called all his party together.

In that place, with Kaka present, Lee Shin opened his mouth.

“I’ll do it today.”

“today?”

“Oh, today. Right after the sun sets.”

The plan hasn’t changed.

Kaka deliberately shows a weak point to provoke the lord’s revenge, and Arthur dies in his stead.

At that time, Isin and Gilaim invade Yeongju Castle and aim for the Count.

Jeong Yu-ra occasionally whispers information about the users’ movements.

The most important thing is the first one.

It was to guide the Count’s forces, but preparations for this had already been made sufficiently.

Kaka had been deliberately reducing the security of the mansion for the past few days.

This really caught the attention of the Count, who was eagerly waiting for an opportunity.

According to the information that Jung Yu-ra had obtained, the had appeared for all users hired today, so it was certain that the Count would make his move today.

Lee Shin said.

“You never know, so be prepared to leave the party and run away at any time.”

“okay.”

“You must never reveal your disguise until it is all over.”

“yes.”

After all preparations and explanations are complete.

Isin waited for night to come.

* * *

Night fell quickly in the world of Avala Online.

This was because the day and night cycle changed twice as fast as in real life (note that night is much shorter than day, for game convenience).

“Master Arthur. Slowly… .”

“let’s go.”

“yes.”

As the evening twilight faded and the moon rose, Isin and Gilaim moved near the count’s mansion.

Isin asked Gilaim, who had climbed up the tree.

“What do you see inside?”

“Oh… … There are a lot of people gathered. And they are carrying weapons.”

“Looks like they’re going to move soon.”

“I think so too.”

As expected by the two,

Soon, a whisper came from Jeong Yu-ra.

– I’m going out now.

– Other users are also leaving.

– It seems like they’re trying to raid Kaka’s mansion, just like you said.

‘Then who’s left in the mansion?’

– Uh… I don’t know about that. They didn’t tell me the details in the first place.

– But I can see almost all the faces I’ve seen.

– I see a few Union Guild people too.

‘Hmm, really?’

Then I guess we can say that almost everyone is gone.

Lee Shin nodded.

It seemed like everyone was leaving, leaving only a few users with high levels of skill, as it was an important task.

Soon, users and soldiers could be seen secretly leaving the mansion’s entrance from afar.

When they were far enough away that they couldn’t be seen, Isin changed his equipment.

This is the bow used by the commander of the knights of the Amphiri territory.

It has strong tension and is difficult to pull, but it has excellent accuracy and destructive power.

•Attack power: 200

•Durability: 45/45

•When the bow is pulled all the way, the distance and destructive power increase by 99%.

•Special skill, can be used.

“… … .”

The target is two soldiers patrolling inside the mansion.

I wanted to avoid killing as much as possible and go in secretly so as not to cause a fuss later, but it was somewhat unavoidable.

sniping.

phut…!

An arrow shot secretly.

The gunshot landed squarely on the back of the soldier’s head as he was on patrol.

puck!

… thud.

“What?! What…!”

A colleague suddenly collapses.

The soldier standing next to him was startled and tried to blow the whistle, but before he could, Isin’s next arrow struck the back of his head.

[The enemy has been defeated.]

[The enemy has been defeated.]

[Notoriety rises.]

[I killed the Lord’s soldier! If this fact is known…]

“Let’s go in.”

“yes.”

[You have trespassed into the lord’s mansion!]

[Great achievement! The title, is changed to .]

Now, the effectiveness of stealth skills is maximized while in stealth mode.

Also, stealth skills no longer cost mana.

“!”

A perfect title for the occasion!

Originally, I was planning to turn on the stealth skill when it was important depending on the situation, but now it can be maintained at all times.

Lee Shin immediately turned on his stealth skill and moved the fallen soldiers to a secluded place and buried them.

[The body was abandoned!]

[Notoriety increased dramatically…]

“This way, we won’t get caught easily, right?”

“I think it will be a good way to buy time.”

“Okay. Then let’s go.”

“yes.”

Once I got over the wall, it wasn’t that difficult.

Since I had already heard from Kaka about the structure of the mansion and the placement of traps (Kaka had designed the mansion), there was no need to worry about traps.

The soldiers patrolling in between had their stealth skills turned on and were hiding in blind spots, allowing them to escape unharmed.

‘More than I thought….’

Lee Shin felt relieved.

I expected it to be a difficult journey, but it seemed to be going more smoothly than expected.

… but the crisis came suddenly.

It was while Isin was walking along the long hallway of the mansion.

“What, is someone there?”

“!”

“!!!!”

A voice came from around the corner.

Through the tone of speech, Isin intuitively knew that the opponent was a user, not a soldier or a knight.

Even the level was very high.

Not only himself, but also Gil-Ra-Im didn’t notice the other person’s presence while the distance was this close.

Thanks to that, a fleeting moment.

Numerous thoughts passed through Isin’s head.

‘… …Who is it?!’

Most of you said you went out to catch Kaka?

If even Gilaim didn’t notice, is he at the ranker level?

But if you’re at the ranker level, there’s no way you’d be left unattended in the mansion during such an important quest… right?

‘… … .’

There was nothing that could be clearly known.

But one thing was certain.

I don’t know what happened, but we can’t run into each other like this!

The moment we met, we would immediately be thrown into a situation where we were being chased.

But even knowing that, the opponent was already too close to turn around and run away.

There was no point in running away now, since we were faced with the same situation as each other just by turning the corner.

In a desperate situation.

‘… … .’

puck!

Yishin’s judgment was very quick.

Lee Shin pushed Gil Ra Im away without a moment’s hesitation.

“Just run away if you want.”

“Huh? Huh…!”

After putting some distance between us like that.

As soon as I made eye contact with the person who had just turned the corner, I pointed at Gilaim and shouted.

“Who are you….”

“…There’s an intruder over there!!!!”

“!!!”

“!?!??!?!”
