Login Psychopath - Chapter 134



Only Noblemtl

Episode 134.

After finishing his conversation with Wick, Isin went straight to find Count Aaron.

It was to explain the changed situation and make plans for the future.

“… … So, it turned out like this.”

“uh…….”

“… … .”

“……okay.”

Aaron nodded with a dumbfounded expression.

He looked very confused.

In fact, it was a natural thing.

It was shocking to learn that he was actually a target for a purge designated by the royal family and that investigators had been dispatched because of it…

Because Lee Shin knew the investigator.

It didn’t end with just acquaintances, but he used his high level of intimacy to side with them and even received quests.

If it weren’t so confusing, it would have been a stranger situation.

“I had no choice.”

“No, yes. I also understand why you had to do it that way.”

As the saying goes, it was inevitable that Lee Shin would take on the role of a spy.

Because there weren’t many options left to change Wick’s mind right away.

Count Aaron also understood this part.

“However, it doesn’t seem like the fundamental problem has been resolved.”

“That’s true. In the end, this is a problem that will only end with your death.”

“… … .”

If you just try to kill it, there’ll be considerable resistance, so wouldn’t it be better to find a way to take less damage since I’ll help you?

When Isin tried to persuade Wick, the words he said were, if we break them down, to this meaning:

In other words, just as Aaron said, the incident was postponed, but it wasn’t resolved yet.

“I have two solutions in mind.”

“There are two?”

“The most certain thing is that we rebel sooner than you die.”

“Oh, but that’s… … .”

“I know. It probably won’t work.”

We will eliminate our opponents faster than they can take us!

It sounds plausible, but when you think about it calmly, it is not an easy method.

No, you could just think of it as impossible.

Even though Edgar’s territory had grown significantly in power through this territory war, it was still far from sufficient in terms of absolute power.

The magic power, which could be said to be essential in large-scale battles, was still close to 0, and even the remaining power was not that overwhelming.

Simply put, it had to be at least several dozen times larger than its current power to be able to stand a chance against the royal family.

So the second way.

“I have to lie.”

“yes?”

“Or maybe we should divert the king’s attention elsewhere so that he doesn’t even pay attention to places like this.”

“… … It’s easy to say, but is it really possible?”

As Earl Aaron had said, it was difficult to divert the king’s attention from the already deeply entrenched court.

But just one.

There was someone the king had to worry about more than Count Aaron.

“…? Who is that?”

“me.”

“Me? … Oh! No way?!”

“What I just thought is probably right.”

An illegitimate child of an abandoned royal family.

It was the 8th prince, the person who was impersonating himself.

* * *

However, this changed after the current king ascended to the throne through a rebellion.

Because the current king has purged the remaining royal bloodlines on a large scale, he has been unintentionally elevated from being a ‘dirty bloodline’ to ‘the only remaining royal bloodline’.

The seeds of rebellion that could ignite at any time.

Or the only hope to revive the failing kingdom of Eton.

Either way, the current king would definitely want to get rid of him.

So he actually moved in several directions to kill the 8th prince.

It was certain when he thought about what happened when Isin first met the Eighth Prince.

The prince was being pursued by the royal knights with a huge bounty on his head, and was actually nearly killed by the knights at the time.

But at this time, Lee Shin intervened and the situation changed.

The prince died at the hands of Isin, and the royal knights who pursued the prince were all killed by Gilaim who arrived later.

That is, the king no longer knew whether the eighth prince was dead or alive.

Since all the knights he sent returned dead, he must have only confirmed that there was someone hostile to the current royal family.

But what if, in this situation, rumors about the Eighth Prince, who had disappeared, are heard again?

“…ah!”

“Your eyes will roll back, right?”

“That will happen.”

Count Aaron nodded.

In the first place, he is a great person who rose to his position through dishonest means, so he cannot help but be more conscious of it.

“But isn’t it too dangerous?”

“what.”

“Even if it’s just a rumor, if it becomes known that he’s alive… .”

“Oh, that’s okay.”

“yes?”

“Of course, they’ll push someone else to be the prince instead of me.”

“… … !!!”

Incitement and fabrication!

It was one of Lee Shin’s special skills.

Although there were no concrete plans yet, Isin was still confident that he could succeed.

“I will think of a method little by little… … Count.”

“yes.”

“Is there anyone you’ve always wanted to kill or make unhappy?”

“Well, nothing in particular?”

“Really? That’s interesting.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

“But why are you asking that…?”

“If there was one, I was going to push it towards him.”

“!?!?”

“Hmm. But it’s too bad there isn’t one. In that case, I guess I’ll just have to decide later.”

Or maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to find someone who might be a nuisance later and drive them away.

“disturbance…?”

“For example, nobles who are loyal to the current monarchy. Can’t we just accuse them of secretly protecting the Eighth Prince?”

“It would be nice if it could happen, but the king might be suspicious of those who are loyal to him… ….”

It was Count Aaron who spoke anxiously, changing his words in the middle.

Come to think of it, the current king was a great man who could easily be suspected of even his own people!

“Then it doesn’t seem like a bad idea.”

“Okay. Then let’s think about it in more detail later.”

“Why not do it now?”

“There are people I have to meet right now.”

“… … ?”

* * *

The people that Lee Shin had mentioned were the nobles who had been defeated in the Battle of Yeongji.

They were all captured under the leadership of Dokgo and Taeyoon, who had received orders from Isin, and were locked up on the lowest floor of the Yeongji Prison.

Since the immediate emergency had been averted, Yishin decided to meet them first.

[You have reached the lowest level.]

[This is an area that cannot be entered without the lord’s permission.]

“We’ll wait here. If anything happens, please call us right away.”

“I get it.”

The knights guided Isin to the entrance and then stopped.

Lee Shin walked along the long corridor that stretched out in front of Jeong Yu-ra.

“… … .”

How long did it take to walk like that?

From far away, someone’s scream could be heard echoing softly.

“How dare you! Don’t you know who I am?”

“Release me now!”

“Aren’t you afraid of the royal investigation!?”

“what?”

“They must be nobles. … … They’re still going strong.”

I even have the energy to shout.

It seems that the strict precautions to capture him alive were overly effective, as they really did not touch a single hair on him and just kept him locked up.

Isin muttered, scratching his lower jaw.

“… … Hmm, there was no need to do this.”

“huh?”

“You just need to keep breathing, so there’s no need to do this. There’s nothing I can do. First, I need to start preparing for the conversation.”

“… … !”

Ouch!

Jung Yu-ra felt something in the phrase ‘Ready to Talk’ and her shoulders flinched.

After hanging out with Isin for a long time, I instinctively knew that the conversation he was talking about was not that conversation.

“I’ll be out.”

Jung Yu-ra’s judgment was very quick.

“huh?”

“I’ll just go out. Call me when you’re done.”

“Oh, okay.”

I was about to ask him to curse me from the side.

But it didn’t really matter if there wasn’t anything.

There were many ways to communicate that could be used, even if it wasn’t necessarily a curse.

Bam.

“Huh? Who are you!”

“… … .”

“How dare you…! Aren’t you afraid of the royal investigation!? Release us immediately!”

The nobles, upon discovering this, thought this was the moment and clung to the iron bars, screaming loudly.

Without answering, Lee Shin approached the iron bars, placed a chair in front of them, and sat down.

“… … ?”

“What, what are you doing…?”

The nobles looked at Isin with expressions like, ‘What is this adventurer doing?’ at his unexpected actions.

“Summon the Recovered One.”

“… … !?!?”

Lee Shin started with torture right away.

* * *

Whoosh.

Whirlyrick!

Seven tentacles that surround the nobles.

The nobles, who were locked up tightly in narrow prisons, could not escape this.

Bam!

After grabbing each tentacle one by one, Isin controlled them delicately to harass the nobles.

The effect was absolutely outstanding.

“omg!?”

“Oww! Woof woof!!”

“… … It went into my mouth!”

“What!? Th, over there… Huh?!?!”

[The nobles suffered a severe mental blow.]

[Notoriety rises.]

[You have mercilessly ridiculed a noble! This is the first achievement on the server. You will receive the title, .]

Now the nobles may feel a strange fear of you.

The higher the notoriety stat, the greater the effect.

Just be careful.

For some nobles, the opposite effect may occur.

‘Huh? Oh, no way, what I just stabbed was… … .’

Sigh.

“… … Hwaaaaak!?”

“Ugh, what a humiliation…!”

‘… I guess that’s right.’

Lee Shin nodded his head sheepishly.

I thought the reaction was a bit intense… .

There was good reason for that.

It wasn’t my intention, but whatever.

Thanks to this, the nobles, who had been at first full of viciousness, were now shedding tears of shame and pleading.

“Sob, sob! Please stop!”

What a pitiful sight!

… But Isin shook his head firmly and did not stop.

“no.”

“why!??!”

“I have something to ask you guys.”

“This crazy guy…!? Then tell me what you’re curious about first!!”

“Where in the world is there a person who tortures people first…! Huhuhuhu!!!”

“It could be.”

Rather, he persecuted the nobles more harshly than before.

And there was good reason for this.

It was because of the common characteristics that nobles had.

Since there is a basic, low-level view of adventurers, if you don’t push them hard in the beginning, you may end up racking your brain in vain.

… Of course, this was only Lee Shin’s position.

The nobles were just psychopaths who enjoyed the torture itself, as they silently continued to torture others without really wanting anything in particular.

“Hmph…!”

“Please stop…!”

Thanks to this, only their pitiful screams could be heard in the dungeon.

* * *

10 minutes later.

Tiring.

[The nobles surrender completely.]

[Obedience has reached its maximum. This will slowly decrease over time.]

The declaration of defeat has finally come!

The god withdrew his tentacles.

Then he walked up to the iron bars and asked.

“flaw……?”

“I think I’m ready to talk now.”

“… … .”

“Hmm? No answer. Are you not ready yet?”

Wiggle.

“Huh!? No way!”

“Ask anything! We’re ready to answer with all we know!”

“okay?”

“That’s right!”

“Then do you know anything about the previous murders?”

I asked a question because I thought you might know something.

Just as Count Narik knew about the previous murders.

but.

“… … ?”

“A massacre of the entire army…?”

“Are you talking about that serial killer?”

“Yes. Do you know anything about his will, or his hidden achievements?”

“Uh uh… … .”

The nobles awkwardly made eye contact with each other.

At this, Lee Shin clicked his tongue.

“Tsk.”

‘You don’t seem to know.’

Unfortunately, they knew nothing.

“No, not right now, but if you let us go, we can find out something… .”

“No, it’s okay now.”

“!?”
