Episode 155.
“… … .”
Isin didn’t answer right away. Isin was basically aiming for solo play.
It is said that party play has recently begun, but this was due to a combination of truly exceptional circumstances.
In Arthur’s case, he felt more like a subordinate than a party member from the beginning.
“This might not be such a bad offer for you either.”
Grania continued speaking, noticing the hesitation in Isin’s expression.
“why?”
“It will be difficult for you alone.”
“You’ll have to try it to find out.”
Isin answered with a frown.
Of course, if Grania offered to help, it would definitely help, but up until now, I’ve been doing well on my own.
I couldn’t help but think, ‘Why?’
“No, I’m not talking about whether the quest is successful or not.”
“… … ?”
“You can do it. Probably.”
I was sincere.
In her opinion, Isin’s quest-completing ability was not that much inferior to that of the rankers.
This is something that most people overlook because Lee Shin always does crazy things, but in order for him to do such crazy things, he had to have basic skills to support him.
In that sense, whatever Lee Shin does, he will naturally be above average.
But despite his versatility, Isin’s likes and dislikes were clear.
“what?”
“After it’s all over? What are you going to do next?”
“What do you mean? Once it’s over, it’s over.”
“The quest is over, so that means you’ve succeeded in killing the king. What do you do next?”
“The empty space… Ah!”
Isin, who was answering as if asking why such a thing was being asked, let out a small exclamation.
If you think about it, that’s what it was.
The kingdom of Eton, rotten to the core, is drying up by the minute.
The glorious history has become a thing of the past, and neighboring countries are eyeing the weakened kingdom with their eyes set on it.
A murderer who dedicated his life to the revival of the kingdom.
If you are the one who has continued to maintain such a murderous streak, you should never let this go.
Expand your power further and create an army to revive the Kingdom of Eton!
And after you have brought down the king, put a new king in his place.
The future of the kingdom now lies in your hands.
“… … .”
As above, this quest did not end with simply killing the king.
This is just the beginning.
A kingdom that was on the verge of ruin won’t suddenly change just because the king is killed.
The end of this quest would be to seat a new king and revive the kingdom of Eton.
And of course, the new king is… … .
‘… … I guess so.’
It was natural.
Because the only remaining royal bloodline was Lee Shin.
It was impossible to give up the seat to someone else.
Grania thought the same.
I didn’t know the details of her being a prince or a murderer, but usually, this kind of position was taken by the person who started the quest.
She said, leaning forward with a serious expression.
“You? The next king.”
“… … .”
“But you don’t want to go that far, do you? You don’t want to do such annoying things, like the throne and all, and you want to grow quickly and catch other rankers.”
“… … !”
Isin opened his eyes wide.
Words that capture the essence exactly!
In fact, it was for that exact reason that Isin initially ran away from Gilaim.
I have to do something out of obligation….
Because this was exactly what I was looking for.
Grania glanced at Isin’s expression and continued speaking.
“That’s what I’m going to help you with. Your work. We’ll do it in our guild.”
“… … Ask for the throne?”
“No? That’s not possible in the first place. Just give me the job. You take the throne.”
“!!!”
In other words, it meant that the work should be passed over only to the king’s power and benefits.
“You get help, and you save yourself some trouble later. From your perspective, isn’t this a story that can’t be bad at all?”
“… … .”
That was right.
Above all, the leaders of the Union Guild, who have experience running a large guild, would probably be much more skilled at this.
It was a proposal that had absolutely nothing to lose from.
But that’s why it was more suspicious.
… … Why do you do this?
He’s not a scammer, and if he’s going to make an offer like this, shouldn’t there be something in return for both of them?
“Of course I gain something too.”
“what?”
“Since it’s a quest you started, assuming they side with you, the quest reward will be considerable. At the same time, it will also be possible to keep other rankers in check.”
If Isin succeeded in completing the main quest, it means that the other users who stood against Isin failed.
As far as she knew, most of the rankers were safely on the royal side, so if she could just succeed in the main quest, she would be far ahead of them in the ranking competition.
More than anything… .
“Above all, be safe. Surely you wouldn’t attack the guild that does your work for you.”
“Huh? Ah… … .”
Isin let out a sigh. Grania’s last words answered all my questions.
‘I see.’
Why did I do something so detrimental to my abilities?
She had her own practical calculations.
No matter what, there’s no need to overthink it, and if you think about the future, it’s better to be on Lee Shin’s side.
“… … .”
And since the intention was so transparent, I rather believed it.
Because it was more understandable to him that there was such an obvious calculated motive rather than someone simply offering to help out for no reason and out of good intentions.
“how is it.”
“… … .”
“Do you need more time to think about it?”
Grania’s question.
Lee Shin shook his head.
“no.”
“What does that mean?”
“… … Follow me. I’ll introduce you to the Count.”
* * *
“Your Majesty. Are you alright… … Hmm? Who is that adventurer?”
“Our side.”
“Aha, did you bring it from outside?”
“Well, that’s true. I think I’ll be quite useful, so if you need someone for something, the Count can use me.”
Although he was seeing the adventurer for the first time, the count was not surprised when he heard that Isin had brought him and just let it go.
“All right.”
Lee Shin was originally prone to doing things suddenly.
Because most of the things done there ended up working out well for the territory.
Instead, it was Grania who was surprised. She asked with a slightly stiff expression.
“…What did you just say?”
“what?”
“How can you be so close with a noble? Putting that aside, I think that noble just called you a prince… … .”
“Huh? Oh, right. Didn’t I tell you?”
“… … Of course I didn’t do it!!! What are you talking about!?!??!”
Grania screamed in horror.
Even if it was treason, this wasn’t it.
A prince.
No, doesn’t that make sense in the first place? What on earth would a user have to do to become a prince?
“No, that’s weird!”
“hmm.”
That was true. So, Isin just answered honestly.
“I lied.”
“what?”
“I lied to you. Those NPCs.”
Since we had decided to get on the same boat anyway, it was something we would find out someday.
It would have been better to say this much so that there would be no confusion between the two.
It also had its own safety devices.
Since the only one who told this to Isin was Grania, even if the information was leaked, it was clear who spread it.
However, this was only Isin’s position, and when the scale of the incident suddenly increased several times, Grania quickly became lost in thought.
She muttered.
“… … I don’t want to do it.”
“Then I will put a curse on you and not let you go until you quit.”
“That’s a penalty… .”
“But it doesn’t matter. I’ll make you unhappy first, even if it means we both go down together because of the penalty.”
“……hey!!!”
Grania covered her face.
Why did it turn out like this?!
I thought I made the best decision I could… .
But then, less than five minutes later, things turned out like this, and I felt like I was in a big trap.
“No, ha… … .”
“Tsk tsk. Think positively.”
“huh?”
“That can happen in life. It’s not good to be negative about everything.”
“… … It was your fault in the first place!?!? Why are you pretending to comfort me!”
Grania had been going back and forth between heaven and hell for a short time, but she quickly came to her senses and said that even if she rotted, she was still a high ranker.
‘…shit.’
Since it’s already been said, it’s no use bringing it up now.
If this fact spreads, then from then on, Isin will tear the Union Guild apart, whether he lives or dies.
And that was one of the situations Grania wanted to avoid the most.
So, we had no choice but to get on the same boat.
Above all else.
‘It’s not the worst.’
If the quest was successful, all issues, including Isin’s identity, would be buried naturally.
In other words, essentially, what the Union Guild does has not changed at all.
On Isin’s side, helping Isin.
She said with a sigh.
“… … Forget what I just said.”
“okay.”
“Is there anything else? Something we should know?”
“Nothing important. If you have any personal questions, ask Arthur.”
“Arthur? Oh, that orc?”
“uh.”
Since Arthur was quite perceptive, he would have been able to tell what was okay and what was not, and answered accordingly.
“Anyway, I’m done with my story. Now I want to hear yours.”
“huh?”
“You said you would help me. How would you help me?”
“Ah… that?”
At Isin’s words, a leisurely smile appeared on Grania’s lips.
She answered confidently.
“Just talk.”
“huh?”
“Just tell me. I can handle most things.”
This wasn’t arrogance. Ranking 4th in the guild wasn’t achieved through show.
“Hmm. Really?”
Isin was lost in thought. What should he do so that people would say he did it well? He didn’t think long about it.
‘There was something I hadn’t figured out yet.’
Carry on the legacy of the previous murders and strike down the corrupt nobles with the hammer of evil.
•Corrupt Nobles: 23/100
•Quest Reward: Vision of Murder Skill
Although we succeeded in defeating Count Narik, there are still many rotten parts in the kingdom.
For a better future, continue to punish corrupt nobles together with Gilaim.
And get one step closer to the glorious resurrection of the kingdom!
•Kill Corrupt Nobles: 23/100
•Quest Reward: Gilaim’s Trust, Hyphen Family’s Vision Swordsmanship.
‘That’s a good thing.’
There may be few users who have consistently killed nobles as much as Isin, but the number of requests was so high.
Because of that, I was feeling limited when I was alone, but if I had someone to help me like this, it would be a different story.
“Please lend me your rankers.”
“It’s not difficult… What are you going to do?”
“I have someone to kill.”
Despite the shocking content, Isin’s tone of voice was extremely calm. Grania answered, trying her best to hide her embarrassment.
“… … … So, we need an assassin ranker?”
“Then that would be good.”
“Okay. I’ll send it… … . Oh, but isn’t it too dangerous…?”
“no.”
‘I do it too.’
This god has been killing nobles since he was much lower level than he is now.
But if rankers who were far ahead of him in level and items died, it was just their problem.
“No more?”
“Not for the time being. If you have nothing to do, do some territory quests.”
“Okay. That’s a good thing. We had to build a new guild house anyway.”
“……hmm?”
Guild house?
Isin asked.
“Wasn’t your guild house in a different territory?”
“I immigrated.”
“why?”
“… … You destroyed the lord there! The territory was ruined!!”
“Oh, that’s right.”
