Login Psychopath - Chapter 157



Only Noblemtl

Episode 157.

“Are you crazy!?!?”

“Why, you don’t like it?”

“You call that talk…!”

The rankers are fiercely opposing!

It was a natural thing.

‘I’d rather die!’

Just bowing your head to a user who wasn’t even on the rankings was a big concession on their part.

But you even offer such a humiliating apology?

My pride wouldn’t allow it.

It was a law that at least the minimum line had to be maintained.

Of course, Ishin didn’t really intend to do it.

I didn’t think it would work in the first place, and even if it did, it probably wouldn’t have much of an effect.

‘It’s actually counterproductive.’

That’s how human psychology works.

If you push too hard, at some point it will turn into a full stomach.

Or, in extreme cases, it could turn aggressive.

Although I am weak in human psychology, I have experienced this so many times that I understand it from experience.

Still, the reason we came out strong from the beginning was to seize the initiative.

Once you’ve done 100, then when you do 30 or 40, you start to think, ‘This much is nothing…’

“You don’t like it?”

“… …Would that be good?”

“Hmm, well. I guess you guys have your own perspectives too, but that was too much to ask.”

“???”

“I’ll let it slide this time, so be careful from now on. There won’t be a next time.”

“… … Ah, I see.”

… … It’s like this.

Isin and Grania are allies.

This meant that Isin did not have the authority to command her allies.

That is, originally, there was nothing to apologize for.

But even so, before they knew it, they were naturally struggling with Isin.

It was because I was swayed by Lee Shin’s rhetoric that was a good mix of threats and coaxing.

‘good.’

Lee Shin smiled with satisfaction.

If you do this much, at least there won’t be any instances of disobeying instructions.

Isin walked towards Wick’s barracks.

“let’s go.”

* * *

[Arrived at Wick’s barracks.]

Wick’s barracks were located not far from Edgar’s estate.

It was to constantly monitor the movements of Count Aaron, who was out of favor with the King, and to easily contact Isin.

What Isin said to Wick, who was visiting Edgar’s estate to purge Count Aaron, was that he would help.

He said that he would steal information about the territory’s military and the count, so fight with as little loss as possible.

Wick accepted Isin’s offer and meekly backed down.

And that was my first time meeting Wick since then.

Isin said to Wick.

“Sir, I am here.”

“Huh? No, you?”

Wick welcomed Isin warmly.

After guiding the person inside.

Wick opened his mouth.

“You came later than I thought?”

“Is that so? It’s not that late, but… … .”

“You’re a capable adventurer. I thought you’d come back within a week, even if you couldn’t do it.”

“… … I’m sorry I let you down. But something came up.”

“I see. But since you came here now, does that mean you have something to tell me?”

“Yes.”

Lee Shin nodded.

Then, after a brief pause, he opened his mouth again.

“But it may not be the information you were waiting for.”

“Hmm? Are you saying that it’s not about the Count?”

“yes.”

“You… … . Don’t you know the mood in the royal palace right now? It’s almost like a sheet of thin ice.”

[Wick is disappointed.]

[Wick’s trustworthiness is lowered.]

“I don’t have time to waste like this.”

“I know.”

“… … I know that, but the fact that you came to me means that the information is valuable, right?”

“Of course. Could you please pass on the soldiers around you?”

Wick’s eyes widened as he heard the words that set the mood.

Wick, who had been looking at Isin with a strange expression for a moment, soon handed over the soldiers.

“Is it okay?”

“thank you.”

“… … Now tell me. If you were just telling me to withdraw the soldiers for nothing, I don’t think I can show you any more favors.”

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

Lee Shin handed over a pile of documents.

That which was stolen from the Duchy of Martinez.

Of course, the Eight Princes were left out.

“Take it.”

“…hmm?”

Wick accepted it, asking, “What is this?”

But it didn’t take long for his expression to turn pale and hard.

Because the content written in the document was shocking.

“… … This is!?”

“These are the ledgers stolen from the Duchy of Martinez.”

“You know it when you see it!”

“… … .”

“What is this? Explain!”

“Do you have any explanation? You manipulated the size of the army to avoid the king’s eyes. The same goes for the size of the revenue and expenditure. … … The reason is obvious, isn’t it?”

“……treason?”

“yes.”

Wick’s expression hardened.

Soon, as if he realized something, he raised his head toward Isin.

“The Duke died a while ago. Then on the same day, there was a huge fire in the estate. … … No one could find the cause. Could it be?”

“Yes, I did.”

“Why?”

“Can’t we just leave a traitor alone?”

“… … So you already knew about his betrayal.”

“yes.”

“Then why didn’t you tell me?”

“Would you believe me if I told you? It’s just the claims of a mere adventurer.”

That was right.

Wick shut his mouth.

Lee Shin continued speaking.

“I needed concrete evidence.”

So I went into his mansion alone and found the information.

In the process, he encountered the duke and had no choice but to kill him.

“… … .”

After Isin’s explanation was finished.

Wick looked serious and lost in thought.

But his worries did not last long.

He sighed deeply, washed his face once, and then said.

“… … This was not the time to be worrying about the Count.”

“… … .”

“I have to go to the capital right now. You come with me.”

“All right.”

* * *

[Arrived in the capital.]

[This is the first entry area.]

[All stats increase by 20 for 30 days.]

We soon arrived at the royal capital.

Originally, it would take some time to get from Edgar’s estate to the royal capital because there were many junctions to cross, but this time, since I was with Wick, that wasn’t necessary.

Wick said.

“Originally, there were several procedures required to meet His Majesty… … . But given the circumstances, there will be no separate procedures.”

“Then can I wait for a moment?”

“No, let’s go together. It won’t take long anyway.”

“… … Oh, I understand.”

Lee Shin nodded.

Even though he is the king, I was a little taken aback that he let me meet him so easily… .

If you think about it the other way around, it means that the issue is that serious.

‘but.’

Treason is treason, but the Duke’s status was also a problem.

Because he was the king’s brother-in-law.

He was even someone who enjoyed considerable trust from the king.

Considering that Gilaim and Earl Aaron had both said that he should be killed, it showed how well he was acting as a pro-prince.

But treason?

This would have been something that even someone who knew the royal family’s circumstances well could not have imagined.

Of course, Wick would be shocked too.

“insect!”

The soldiers at the palace entrance recognized Wick’s face and saluted.

Wick gave a cursory salute and asked.

“Is Your Majesty inside?”

“Yes. He entered the palace a little while ago.”

“That’s good timing. Please put a message inside. I have something urgent to tell Your Majesty.”

“Okay, but the adventurer next to me… … .”

“I called. This person must also go in, so include this person as well.”

“All right!”

The soldier disappeared in a hurry.

And only then did the rankers behind Isin, who had been standing there with blank expressions, ask.

“… … No, the place you were going to was the royal road?!!”

“Didn’t I tell you?”

“I didn’t do it! Why did you come here…!”

The rankers lowered their voices and looked around anxiously.

Isin asked.

“why?”

“I’m just nervous! Who on earth did you come all the way here to kill!?”

“huh?”

The rankers also knew the general situation.

Why they were called out.

‘Please lend me your rankers.’

‘It’s not difficult… What are you going to do?’

‘I have someone to kill.’

‘… … … So, we need an assassin ranker?’

It was a conversation between Isin and Grania just a few hours ago, and it was relayed to the rankers as well.

There was just a little misunderstanding.

Even so, I thought that even if a user who isn’t even a ranker kills someone, how many people can he kill?

‘If you asked for a ranker… Are you thinking of catching a wanted criminal?’

‘That’s about it… ‘

So at first, I thought they were easy rankers… .

‘……what?’

‘Where are you going?’

The number of soldiers is increasing.

And the palace you see in the distance.

As I got closer to the capital, I couldn’t help but feel increasingly anxious.

Who on earth is that person that needs to be killed?

“Now tell me!”

Rankers who can’t sit still.

At this, Lee Shin turned his head.

“Didn’t I tell you that too?”

“I didn’t do it. … What was that in the first place? I didn’t tell you anything… … .”

“He is a nobleman.”

“I see. A nobleman… … . What?”

“……nobility?”

“That noble…?”

“uh.”

“Uh uh… … .”

The rankers have question marks on their foreheads at Isin’s words.

But soon he came to his senses and shouted in a low voice.

“No, what are you trying to do to us!?!?”

“You little punk, are you crazy!? Are you really crazy!”

“little.”

“What…!?”

“… Ah, over there, call me. If you have something to say, say it later.”

“What? … … No, hey, hey!”

“don’t go!”

* * *

-Hey! Come back!

-Explain it clearly!

-please……!

The desperate cries of the rankers echoed from behind.

Isin ignored him, but Wick asked why he was so curious.

“Who is calling from behind?”

“Yes? Oh, it’s okay.”

“Are you okay?”

“That’s how it is. … They are friends who are lacking in something, so they get anxious when I’m not around.”

“I see? You seem scared.”

“you’re right.”

You’re lying without even wiping your mouth!

With just one word from Isin, the rankers suddenly became worthless adventurers who could do nothing without Isin.

“Oh, that’s too bad, they seem to be young adventurers… … .”

A look of regret appeared in Wick’s eyes.

But this was only a moment.

Tsk tsk, Wick clicked his tongue and quickly turned his gaze straight ahead.

“Permission has been granted.”

“yes.”

“You will meet His Majesty right away. Just show him what you showed me earlier.”

“All right.”

As he said, the king was able to meet him right away.

-Come in.

“yes.”

“Is that the adventurer over there?”

“Yes.”

“Adventurers, raise your heads.”

Yishin raised his head.

At the same time, messages began to appear before my eyes.

[Meet the King of the Kingdom of Eton, Phillips Leonis.]

[This is the first achievement on the server!]

[You gain 30 undistributed stats.]

[Fame increases by 10,000.]

‘oh?’

Isin’s eyes opened wide.

This still remains?

Of course, I thought other rankers would have swept away these achievements.

‘Is it because it’s the Kingdom of Eton?’

It was a reasonable assumption.

Unlike the kings of other kingdoms who showed their presence to the users in their own way, Phillips had no confidence in his royal authority at all.

It wouldn’t have been strange if Isin was the first user to be invited to the palace.

‘That worked out well.’

Yishin nodded with satisfaction.

At least the reward I got so far was worth it for coming this far.

… But the message wasn’t over yet.

Tiring.

[Jeon Dae-sal-seong dedicated his life to the revival of the Eton Kingdom.]

[His ultimate target was the false king of the kingdom, Phillips Leonis, whose hands were stained with the blood of countless people.]

[However, Phillips was extremely concerned about his own safety, and unfortunately, Salsing had no chance to deal with him until the day he died.]

“… … ?”

Long message.

Isin tilted his head.

So what do you want me to do?

Are you telling me to kill you now?

… … That’s it.

Tiring.

[Opportunity once in a lifetime!]

[The length of the murder reacts!]

[The Path of Murder tells you the best path to take right now.]

“!?”

[Kill Philips Leonis now. Kill him to continue the legacy of the previous murders!]

[Power is boiling!]

[The is unleashed in the face of a reckless attempt!]

The legend is great.

I will not kneel before the impossible.

An unknown power is boiling!
