Login Psychopath - Chapter 148



Only Noblemtl

Episode 148.

‘You were looking for the prince!’

A lightning bolt struck Isin’s head.

It was a moment when many of the questions I had been having were resolved.

I wondered why the territory was running smoothly despite the notoriety I had heard, but it turns out he was also someone who wished for the kingdom’s revival!

Actually, if you think about it, it doesn’t make sense that the prince’s only assistant is Gilaim.

There probably aren’t many people who would deny that Gilaim is a knight of outstanding skill… .

Because that was all.

There is neither the money nor the force needed to wage war.

It’s not very realistic to expect a single knight to take over the top of a kingdom.

And this, conversely, meant that in order for the revival of the Eton Kingdom to become a reality, there had to be other helpers besides Gilaim.

‘That was the peacock.’

I never expected the target to be a peacock, but it didn’t matter anymore.

Anyway, I found out the process.

Lee Shin immediately changed his route.

‘I give up the quest.’

To bring the Duke over to the same side.

Although it was a golden opportunity to gain the royal trust and rescue Earl Aaron, the gain was far greater than what he would have gained by giving it up.

Duke Martinez was once one of the five most powerful men in the kingdom.

The benefits of bringing him on board were therefore beyond imagination.

Putting everything else aside, just think of the soldiers and money he had secretly amassed so far.

Even if it meant abandoning Earl Aaron, it was a profitable deal if I could gain Duke Martinez.

‘Of course, that’s not necessary.’

Rather than discarding one, Earl Aaron should think of another way.

There was plenty of time.

Because the Count’s purge wasn’t decided right away.

Perhaps this problem could be easily solved by using the Duke of Martinez, who had close ties to the royal family.

In the end, there was only one thing that Lee Shin had to do.

The Duke’s Persuasion!

It was when Lee Shin stepped out of the office to go find the Duke.

“… What!? Who are you!!!”

A middle-aged man’s new voice was heard outside.

Perhaps the Duke himself.

When he came back after rushing out upon hearing news of a fire at the estate, he was surprised to see that his familiar knights were nowhere to be found, and a strange man he had never seen before was guarding the front of his office.

“Call the soldiers right now… Huh!?”

Without even needing to say anything, Gilaim’s judgment was quick.

He immediately struck the peacock in the leg and covered his mouth before he could scream.

“Ugh! Eeeeek!!”

“Master Arthur, what should we do?”

[Use the soundproofing order form.]

[The sound does not escape for a certain period of time.]

Gilaim asks about the disposal.

After Lee Shin opened the order form in the room, he stuck his head out and answered.

“Let me in.”

“Why don’t you kill them? If we can find solid evidence, then it doesn’t matter if we kill them.”

“!?!?”

“I know that too. I just wanted to say something before I kill you.”

“… Okay, I understand.”

Gilaim handing over the peacock.

The person who had been handed over took the duke into the office.

In the process, there was no forced silence or suppression.

Now that we were on the same side, it was only natural that we should earn his loyalty.

“Come in.”

“… … ?”

Of course, the duke still didn’t know the inside story of the god, so he looked bewildered.

He asked with a mixture of relief and deep wariness in his voice.

“… … What are your intentions?”

“To talk.”

“Conversation? No, who are you in the first place! How dare you invade the Duke’s mansion!”

[The Duke emerges from his state of confusion with his strong mental power.]

[The Duke is furious.]

“I don’t know who sent you, but you will pay the price!”

“No? Aren’t you going to have to pay the price?”

“… … What?”

“I found this… .”

Isin fluttered a pile of documents before the Duke’s eyes.

It was the document that was densely filled with information about the prince’s whereabouts.

It was only a moment before the peacock’s face turned pale.

“that.”

“I should have hidden the important things.”

“… … .”

“Setting fire to the territory, killing the territory’s soldiers and knights, and trespassing on the lord’s mansion? Wouldn’t that be possible if it was to catch a traitor?”

“Ah, ahh… … .”

The peacock covered his face with both hands as if in pain.

The shock must have been so great that he would occasionally mutter, “How on earth did the royal family notice?”, “There must have been no mistake…”

How much time has passed like that?

“……under.”

The peacock let out a short breath.

The newlywed expression was a bonus.

He said it blandly.

“… …Kill him.”

“what?”

“I told you to kill me. I put on a mask and gave everything for the revival of the kingdom, but I failed. It would be better to just die. Kill me.”

Rather than trying to survive, I’d rather die!

Although the Duke’s words conveyed his firm determination, Isin shook his head firmly.

And then he pretended to be serious and got angry instead.

“Duke. Is that all you can do?”

“what?”

“You give up so easily! Is this all you have in mind for the revival of your kingdom?”

“… … ? You came in here and now what the hell are you talking about… … .”

“Shut up!”

“!?”

[The Duke is embarrassed.]

“This is the kind of person I am.”

Yishin lifted his chin and held out a ring to the duke.

It was the ring that was used to attract Gilaim and Earl Aaron.

The Duke’s reaction was immediate.

“Ugh!! Th, this is!”

“You know what this is, right?”

“The royal treasure…! Why would you take this… No, really!?”

The peacock’s eyes opened wide.

The duke knew of the existence of the illegitimate child whom the king was desperately trying to hide.

So, of course, I knew the meaning of the ring that Lee Shin had given me.

He shouted, his eyes wide open in disbelief.

“No way! You were a prince!?”

“okay.”

“that…!”

[The Duke is greatly embarrassed.]

[The Duke is confused.]

Yishin nodded with satisfaction.

I thought it would be easy to explain since I already knew everything from the existence of the illegitimate child to the royal treasure.

…but,

“… No, wait.”

“?”

“A prince? You?”

“So you’re saying that’s not true? Even though you saw the evidence right before your eyes?”

“It’s definitely a ring, but… if I remember correctly, he definitely had red hair, right?”

The Duke knew more than Isin thought.

This was due to his unwavering loyalty to the royal family and his desire to revive the Kingdom of Eton, which led him to search for the prince in many ways… .

[The Duke suspects you!]

[Caution!]

[If it is revealed that he was impersonating the prince…]

“… … !!!!!”

Now, such efforts have become poisonous.

Gilaim and Earl Aaron do not know that Isin is impersonating the prince.

No, he doesn’t even know that it ended with impersonation, but that the real culprit was the one who killed the prince.

It was because they did not know that Yishin was able to receive their loyalty.

But at this point, if they found out the truth, it was obvious how they would react.

As suspicion began to creep into the duke’s eyes, Isin made a decision.

I have to kill him right now.

Isin swung his sword.

Phew!

“… Remember?!”

Pok! Pok pok!!

[Fatal blow!]

[The Duke has died.]

The Duke died in vain!

There was also the effect of Isin’s title of , and like other nobles, his own military power was not outstanding.

However, unlike his meaningless death, the aftermath of his death was by no means small.

After a short pause, a flood of system messages poured in before Isin’s eyes.

Tiring.

[Duke Martinez dies.]

[Notoriety increases in large quantities.]

[Gain a large amount of experience points.]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

First of all, Isin’s level and notoriety have risen significantly.

[Level reached 233.]

[You have become strong and evil enough.]

[Now you can find your antithesis. The job skill, will guide you.]

Thanks to that, a new job-specific skill was unlocked with an unknown explanation.

[I killed the duke of a country.]

[Great achievement! The effect of the title is greatly enhanced.]

[I killed the noble who was working secretly for the revival of the kingdom!]

[ will be destroyed!]

[ is eliminated!]

[1,008,898 other related quests will be deleted!]

“… … !”

Isin’s eyes opened wide.

A situation I’ve experienced before!

This was a phenomenon that occurred when someone who was deeply connected to the main quest was killed.

However, unlike when the prince was killed, the duke’s death did not have such a big impact that it completely ruined the main quest.

[The flow of the main quest changes.]

[Keep an eye on the changing situation in the kingdom.]

It’s just that the flow has changed slightly.

Of course, this alone was a huge event for users.

Suddenly, a system message appeared in front of all users, and soon all communities in Avala Online exploded.

* * *

-What just happened? Is this the entire message?

Yeah, me too.

Me too.

– He said to keep an eye on the changing situation in the kingdom. Does anyone know what that means?

ㄴTo keep an eye on the changing situation of the kingdom means to keep an eye on the changing situation of the kingdom.

Nah, get out;

Doesn’t that mean something’s going to happen sooner or later? It’s been a while since the main quest started, but nothing’s happened yet. It’s about time something happens.

Oh, is that so?

-Breaking News) All the rankers are in a state of disengagement

I wonder if these guys don’t know what’s happening right now? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

But how could that be? If it was an incident of this magnitude, it would obviously have been caused by one of the rankers.

So does that mean there are people who know but keep their mouths shut?

Isn’t that obvious? Where is the ranker who goes around talking about such things?

Oh, is that so…?

The community was full of speculation.

And these speculations grew more and more fleshed out, giving rise to various rumors and confusing users.

Meanwhile, while the whole community was in chaos, Isin escaped the mansion safely.

It was still noisy outside.

“There! There’s still fire!”

“Pour water and sand!”

Soldiers and residents moving busily.

But thanks to that, the fire was now slowly dying down.

As Isin quietly watched the scene, Gilaim asked.

“Did you end up killing the Duke?”

“okay.”

“I heard you wanted to have a conversation….”

“The conversation didn’t work out. He was evil to the core, just like you said.”

You lie without even wiping your mouth!

However, Gil-Ra-Im, who did not know what happened inside, believed it straight away.

“I see. Well done. By the way. Did you find the evidence?”

“Found it.”

“Then I guess I can just report it to the royal family right away.”

“I think so. Let’s think about the details later. There’s going to be trouble soon. We need to run away first… … .”

Whoosh!

As Yishin passed by the fire, he took advantage of the confusion and secretly poured in more gunpowder.

No one noticed what Isin had done, no matter how secretive his actions were.

Whoosh whoosh!!!

“Huh? … What, what is it!”

“There’s fire here again!”

“Call all the soldiers! … ​​… No, I clearly saw it turned off here!?”

Soldiers are confused again!

This gives me some room to run away.

‘The finiteness is a problem, but… I guess I’ll have to send Arthur for this.’

It was an act of sending someone to their deaths again after only a short time of being resurrected, but if you think about it the other way around, it might have been much more beneficial to just have one person drive them to death.

This is how Lee Shin finished rationalizing it.

“Status window.”

After a while, away from the commotion, Isin opened the status window.

It was to kill the peacock and check the message that appeared.

[You have become strong and evil enough. Now you can find your antithesis.]

[Job skill, will guide you.]

The will of the previous generation to kill illuminates the path you must take.

‘What does this mean?’

Isin tilted his head.

Was there such a thing as an antithesis?

Fortunately, a system message soon provided an answer to Isin’s question.

Tiring.

[The path of murder leads you. Quests are automatically generated.]

Just as water and fire cannot coexist, evil and divinity cannot coexist.

If they cannot coexist, then one of them will have to evaporate and disappear or go out.

The path of legend is a history of proof and survival. This is also true for you, the descendant of the murderer.

Kill the saint!

Kill him, break the he is walking, and prove that your path is right!

•Quest Success Reward: Job Skill

•If you are killed by the opponent first, the quest will fail and you will receive a permanent penalty.
