Episode 149.

‘Kill the saint?’

This is a surprising thing.

But soon things calmed down.

I was a little surprised because it was so sudden, but when I thought about it carefully, the content itself wasn’t strange at all.

It was a quest that could have come out easily, or even naturally, as Isin grew up.

This had to do with Yishin’s occupation.

‘Because it’s a legendary job.’

The grades that occupations are divided into are usually based on ‘how rare and strong they are’.

The harder it is to obtain and the more powerful the performance, the higher the rank of the job.

However, legendary professions are an exception.

Of course, it is rare and strong, but there is one more condition added here.

This is exactly how powerful the influence is on the main flow of Avala Online.

Just think of the example of Isin receiving the quest to revive the Eton Kingdom.

Even if he wasn’t impersonating the dead prince, the quest was given with the intention of continuing the legacy of the previous murders, so it would have had a significant impact on the main story of Avala Online.

This is something that happens not only to Isin, but is something that most users with legendary professions inevitably experience.

The only difference is the type of chaos that occurs.

Likewise, although the type is different, this was also a phenomenon that appeared due to the characteristics of Isin’s job.

Users of legendary professions not only have an impact on the main story, but they also have an equally profound impact on other users around them.

Especially if it’s a job that has completely opposing tendencies, like murder and sainthood.

However, the reason this quest only appeared now is because Ishin was too weak compared to his opponents.

Isin knew who the saint was talking about there.

He was a user.

‘Ian.’

A member of the guild ‘Shining Star’, ranked 1st in the guild rankings, and currently ranked 7th in personal rankings.

Although he was not particularly interested in others, news of some high rankers was an exception.

Because they were the ultimate goal of this god.

I often check for news about them.

‘… … .’

This person was lost in thought.

The opponent was specific, but I had no idea how to proceed.

They say that if you fail the quest, you will receive a permanent penalty, so you have to kill them anyway… .

The problem was how.

how?

The opponent is a high ranker.

Not only is there your own strength, but most of the other guild members around you are also rankers or are close to rankers.

It meant that at this point, there was absolutely no way to surpass Lee Shin’s level.

‘It might work if I take Gilaim with me…’

It might not work.

It wasn’t for nothing that I was ranked number 1 in the guild rankings.

It wasn’t at all strange for a guild to have dozens of high rankers or mercenary NPCs, like Gilaim.

Even if you were lucky enough to kill him, it was still a problem.

In the end, in order to complete the quest, the final blow had to be struck by Isin, but then the risk of his identity being revealed greatly increased.

Isn’t there already a precedent for Grania?

The obsession that the rankers from Avala Online 1 had with Isin went beyond Isin’s imagination.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly that time, but it was unreasonable to expect that kind of luck to follow me twice.

‘… … .’

Of course, it was clear that he had to be killed, even under such risks.

Even if we leave aside the issues of rewards and penalties, it was the same.

Because the quest that appeared to you just now will have appeared to your opponent as well.

We’ll eventually have to face each other someday, but now that we have information about each other unilaterally, it might be the best opportunity.

Then, either fight somehow with the help of Gilaim and Earl Aaron, or… .

“… … .”

“Why are you doing that?”

Gil-Ra-Im asked Isin, who suddenly became silent.

Lee Shin shook his head and answered.

“It’s nothing.”

“?”

“Let’s go back to the estate first. There’ll be a commotion soon. And… … . Let’s go to the royal palace after consulting with the count.”

“That’s a good idea.”

Isin walked to the territory with Gilaim.

At the same time, he whispered to Arthur.

-hey.

Arthur had just logged on, having just been released from his death penalty.

The answer came back soon.

-yes?

-Come out for a moment.

-I’m filming this video… .

-Still, come out and tell me to take care of the filming for a while.

There was one thing to do.

It was something only Arthur could do.

* * *

“What is it?”

Arthur immediately jumped out at Isin’s words that it was urgent.

Lee Shin opened his mouth.

“I have something for you to do. Would you…?”

-Mr. Arthur! Now tell me where Lee Si-eun is!

But before Yishin could speak, Yoo Hanseong’s whisper came to his ear.

Because he had completely forgotten, Isin muttered with his mouth open.

“… … Ah, right.”

“yes?”

“You have two things to do.”

Of course, it wasn’t a big problem.

Lee Shin naturally changed his words.

“First, you have to disguise yourself as Lee Si-eun and meet Yoo Han-seong.”

“……why?”

“It just happened.”

Lee Shin muddled things through somewhat.

So much had happened while Arthur was dead that it would be impossible to explain it all now.

There was no need to explain it in particular.

‘If you’re told to do it, you have to do it.’

Arthur thought the same.

Arthur looked bewildered, but nodded anyway.

“If there’s something I have to do, I’ll do it.”

“If we ever meet, he’ll probably try to kill you.”

“Uhm, yes.”

“But you absolutely must not die.”

It would be best if he just died and his feelings would be relieved, but the problem was that there were two things he had to do.

Arthur had to come back alive.

“I was chased for a while and then I shook it off.”

“… … I’ll try, but it won’t go as I want it to.”

Arthur said as if he was in trouble.

And this was what Yishin had expected.

Arthur wasn’t as good at running away as he was, and it would be difficult to shake off the guild that was trying to catch him.

In general, yes.

But often, there was a way to make the impossible possible.

Exactly, the present.

“ruler.”

“yes?”

Isin handed Arthur a bundle of items.

The amount corresponds to most of the orders that were purchased in bulk from Edgar’s estate.

Even though each one was worth tens of thousands of won in cash, I gave away hundreds of them, so it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that it was a waste of money… .

‘I guess I can live with this much.’

I had to write it now.

Since I bought it with someone else’s money anyway, I didn’t feel bad about spending it compared to how much I spent.

After Isin sent the answer to Yuhanseong, he spoke to Arthur.

“Meet and return to the spirit world alive.”

“yes.”

* * *

“… … What on earth happened?”

As soon as he arrived in the territory, Isin looked for the count.

The count opened his mouth as if somewhat surprised after hearing the explanation.

“Then is the Duke dead?”

“Yes. He was as evil as I heard. I couldn’t bear to let him live.”

“… … It’s a good thing, but isn’t it dangerous?”

“It’s okay. I have solid evidence of treason.”

Even though Yishin set fire to the estate, killed the duke at will, and stole his property…

What matters is the result!

In the end, it turns out that the Duke was right in preparing for treason, and since Yishin has secured solid evidence, all he has to do is say, “I had no choice but to catch the traitor!” and everything will be resolved.

“The Count will be safe now.”

“Thank you. Thank you. When do you plan to go to the royal capital?”

“I have to go soon. But before that, I brought you something like this… .”

“… … ??”

What Isin took out one by one were paintings and sculptures stolen from the Duke of Martinez’s mansion.

Even though I had filled one side of my office with everything I had scraped away, there were still things left that I had not taken out.

Isin said to the Count, whose eyes were wide open.

“Hang it in the mansion.”

“… … I appreciate your consideration, but there is no place like this in my mansion.”

“Oh really? Well, um… … .”

Certainly, the count’s mansion was not very large, perhaps due to his personality not liking extravagance.

Yishin thought for a moment and then answered.

“Then display it outside.”

“Outside…? Oh, do you mean to create an exhibition hall?”

“Exhibition hall? Oh, that sounds good. Let’s do that.”

I agree with you immediately.

However, if the Count’s words meant ‘let’s make an exhibition hall so that all residents can see it’, then Lee Shin was a little different.

‘I guess we can collect the admission fee.’

As the territory level increases, the number of buildings that need to be built increases, and each of these boasts an enormous price tag.

The realm’s finances were already tight as they were stockpiling funds for war, so it would be good to find ways to bring in money as much as possible.

‘The residents may not know, but the users will come in.’

You might wonder if there are people who would pay money to see paintings, but in Lee Shin’s experience, there was surprisingly a demand for this type of thing.

This was because, unlike low-quality artwork, high-quality artwork gave users a slight buff.

Of course, the degree is so small that one or two would have little effect, but it would be a different story if there was a separate exhibition hall that only had them.

Minor buffs add up to a pretty significant effect.

Therefore, if the price is reasonable, there will be many users who will take a look around before going out hunting.

‘I’ll just build it and let Kaka take care of it.’

If you ask the Count, he will open it for you almost for free, given his disposition.

That’s why I thought it would be better to leave this to Kaka.

Since Kaka ran his own workshop, he was well-versed in both production and calculation.

The business at Yeongji ended with Isin going to find Kaka and handing over all the artwork.

It was shortly after that that a whisper arrived from Arthur.

-Brother. I arrived at the estate.

* * *

[There is a change in the flow of the main quest.]

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

A system message appeared before all users’ eyes a while ago.

It was a cause of confusion for most users, but some top guilds were an exception.

With their overwhelming power and capital, they quickly established themselves in the Kingdom of Eton and soon found themselves in contact with high-ranking nobles.

Thanks to this, they have learned more about the situation of the kingdom, and this is what they have figured out so far.

-The current king ascended the throne through treason.

– Since there is a precedent for himself, he is naturally worried that he too might get caught up in someone else’s rebellion… .

– In reaction to such concerns, he is preparing to thoroughly erase all traces of the previous royal family while also purging those who could pose a threat to him.

For the rankers who knew the above, the message from earlier was interpreted like this.

‘It will not be long before the king draws his sword.’

‘A bloody storm will blow through the kingdom.’

‘You should keep an eye on this and decide which side you will take at that time.’

That meant that one had to choose whether to stand on the king’s side or against him.

It’s not yet clear who the other side is, but it was clearly a risky choice.

So most guilds are considering siding with the royal family.

There were some who went one step further than others.

Those who have even a passing inkling of who is leading this change.

One was Grania, who had learned of Isin’s existence, and the other was Ian.

Tiring.

[Your enemy has finished growing.]

[The path of adulthood illuminates where you should go.]

[A job quest occurs!]

“……hmm?”

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 as you walk the path of adulthood.

Kill the descendants of murder!

Break him, deny the he is walking, and prove that your path is right!

•Quest Success Reward: Job Skill

•If you are killed by the opponent first: Quest failure and permanent penalty.

“… … ?”

Who do you want me to kill?

Ian blinked for a moment at the message that suddenly appeared.

He soon realized the most important fact hidden in this message.

There was something far more important than killing someone.

‘No, wait.’

As far as he knew, there was no one among the rankers who had a profession called Murseong.

If you consider that it is impossible to hide a legendary profession because its characteristics are so strong, you can be sure of it.

in other words.

‘There was a legend… …one more?’
