Login Psychopath - Chapter 158



Only Noblemtl

Episode 158.

‘This is crazy.’

Are you really telling me to kill you now?

Who would call me a descendant of murder? An unimaginable demand!

Yishin was momentarily shocked, but soon came to his senses and thought to himself.

It was disconcerting, but it wasn’t a bad method if it could kill him.

Because once the root of all problems disappeared.

Of course, Isin will die too, but it’s only for three days anyway.

The gains are almost non-existent compared to the losses!

Of course, countless other problems would arise, but most of them could be covered up somehow, assuming that Isin succeeded in the assassination.

Because the current Lee Shin was not alone.

so….

‘… Should I just do it?’

A person who is lost in thought.

So the worries were short.

‘No, that’s impossible.’

If you think about it calmly, it would be difficult to rely on just one buff and go for it.

It was like that when I thought about how sudden it was, and it was like that when I considered the possibility.

Just looking at it now, there were dozens of knights surrounding Phillips.

And their levels would all be similar to or higher than Wick’s.

There was no way for Isin to measure their level, but it was only natural that they were knights protecting the king.

If Isin showed even the slightest suspicious movement, they would move immediately, and Isin had no means of damaging them.

Even considering the buffs I just received.

In the first place, the buff that Lee Shin received now didn’t really have much meaning when you look at it.

-All damage is increased by 500% for 1 minute.

-All attacks are considered critical hits for 1 minute.

-Evasion rate increased by 300%.

– Survive 1 time with 1 health when hit by a fatal attack.

A buff that increases damage, not stats.

This only makes sense in situations where some damage is inflicted.

Even if a non-ranked person hits them, the damage inflicted will be close to 0, so what’s the point of increasing that?

“Your Majesty!”

“okay.”

Lee Shin decided to go safely.

Because the situation was sufficient even if we did that.

Isin raised his head and opened his mouth.

“What do you have to say to me?”

“It’s about the Duke’s treason!”

“… … What?”

Phillips’ eyes narrowed.

He opened his mouth and gestured to the knights.

“That’s pretty presumptuous for an adventurer.”

“… … .”

“Kill the author….”

“!?”

Tiring.

[ exudes a gentle elegance.]

[Very high reputation!]

“… … If you talk uselessly, you will not be able to avoid death.”

“I know. Thank you.”

“Speak. The commander has brought you this, so listen.”

“No. It will be faster if you see it for yourself.”

“hmm…?”

Lee Shin handed the documents to a nearby soldier.

The soldier took it and handed it to the king.

“What is this… Hmm? Hmm!?!?”

Phillips straightens his back.

His once relaxed expression disappeared as he quickly flipped through the documents.

Soon, after checking the last chapter, he asked Isin with a stiff expression.

“What is this?”

“This is evidence.”

“… … Where did you come from?”

“This is the Duke’s mansion.”

“The Duke’s Mansion?”

Phillips raised his head as if he had not expected this.

“Are you saying that you came here yourself?”

“Yes.”

“How… … No, was that why? The Duke died?”

“That’s right. I wish I had let you live, but I’m sorry. I had no choice but to kill you since I got caught in the middle… … .”

“Enough. That’s enough.”

Phillips interrupts.

Yishin shut his mouth.

After a while, Phillips pondered something and then asked Isin.

“How did you know?”

“Are you talking about the Duke’s treason?”

“Yes. His betrayal went completely unnoticed by me. To be honest, at first I thought this might be a forged document.”

“that-.”

“No way. There is no trace of manipulation, and the Knight Commander would have checked to that extent before bringing him in.”

“… Yes.”

Yishin carefully raised his head.

However, there was no sign of anger or confusion on Phillips’ face.

He didn’t seem particularly shocked by the fact that the person he had trusted was actually plotting a rebellion behind his back.

Did he think that it was entirely possible for him to ascend to the throne in that way?

‘That could be.’

… … But for whatever reason, he seemed to be purely curious.

How did Isin find out something that no one in the royal family knew, including him?

“He was so sure of it that he hid in the Duke’s mansion.”

“Yes.”

“How did you know?”

“… There was no particular method. I just started to have doubts while gathering information about him.”

“Hmm. Is that so?”

A smile appeared on Phillips’ lips.

“adventurer.”

“yes.”

“What is your name?”

“This is Arthur.”

“Arthur… … . I remember.”

[The King remembers your name.]

[Great achievement!]

[Fame increases by 9,999.]

‘… … !’

Isin’s eyes opened wide.

Fame that increases just by breathing!

This is why rankers go to great lengths to get involved with high-ranking NPCs.

When dealing with such people, you inevitably see a lot of dirty things… .

Even taking that into account, there was a lot to be gained.

Just like now.

Lee Shin bowed.

“thank you!”

“Thank you… . Oh, do you know of any others?”

“yes?”

“Except for the Duke, those you consider suspicious.”

“Supreme… … Huh?”

Yishin instinctively felt that now was the time to give a good answer.

‘If I do this well…?’

This was an opportunity.

An opportunity to solve annoying problems with someone else’s hands.

Yishin quickly thought about it and answered.

“Of course there is.”

“There is?”

“Yes! However… … . The evidence is not as clear as it was in the Duke’s time, so I am cautious about opening my mouth now.”

Yishin answered while pretending to look around.

At this, Phillips looked at the knights and Wick standing densely around him and nodded.

“… … I see.”

[Use .]

[The opponent is fooled!]

“There is no evidence. … … Does this mean, on the other hand, that there is a clear suspicion?”

“Yes.”

“That’s enough.”

“yes?

“Adventurer Arthur. I have something for you to do.”

Tiring.

[He has earned the king’s trust.]

[Fame increases by 7,700.]

[A Kingdom Quest is created!]

“hmm?”

King Philip Leonis of the Kingdom of Eton wishes to solidify his throne by eliminating potential traitors who would seek to usurp his throne.

However, there are several restrictions on his ability to move on his own.

Because he too has to be concerned about the nobles’ gaze.

So, you become his hands and feet and eliminate those who are likely to rebel in advance!

He trusts you.

If you accept his demands, he will empower you to the fullest.

• Clear Reward: King’s Trust, ???

“!!!!”

* * *

Kingdom Quest!

That was also a quest that Isin had been longing for.

There was no reason to refuse.

“Will you do it?”

“Of course! Isn’t it for the sake of Your Majesty’s well-being? I am the right person for the job.”

“… … Hmm, is that so?”

[Philips’ intimacy increases.]

“That’s great. Do you need anything else?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“No? Can you do it alone? There is no need to decline. If necessary, I can even send you the Royal Knights.”

“No, that’s okay. I think it’s better to do it alone.”

“Does that mean the Knights are incompetent?”

“How could that be? It would just look too suspicious with them.”

The Royal Knights act only at the king’s command.

But a whole army of royal knights are moving around just for a single adventurer?

Anyone can see that it is suspicious.

It would not be strange to think that the king is up to something.

If this happens, the nobles may sense something suspicious and conceal the evidence before the decisive evidence is found.

“… … That’s true too.”

Phillips nodded in understanding.

Because it made sense.

But the above was just an excuse that Lee Shin had made up.

‘It’s a problem if we’re under surveillance.’

“An adventurer is not dead even when he dies. So I don’t need your help. Instead, just give me authority.”

“Just authority?”

“Yes. Then I will take care of the rest.”

“… … Trustworthy. Good!”

[Authority granted to execute.]

[Now, if you have a valid reason, you will not be found guilty of murdering a noble directly.]

* * *

“let’s go.”

As soon as Lee Shin came out, he said.

Now that I had the hilt of the sword, there was no time to waste.

“Oh, where?”

“… … ?”

The rankers asked Isin, who was walking without any explanation.

Isin turned his head.

“To kill the nobles. Didn’t I tell you?”

“… … Are you really going to kill a noble!?”

“uh.”

“As I said before, that’s a bit… … .”

“I just got permission to come out.”

“You got permission!?!?!?”

“……after.”

Instead of answering, Isin sighed.

They were noisy guys all the time.

“Who on earth did you meet…? No, you’re not just saying whatever you want!?”

“It’s true that I got permission.”

“… In the first place, who could give such permission… … .”

It was a reasonable question.

But, Isin cut off the ranker’s words and asked.

“Be quiet.”

“what?”

“I don’t know about that, just answer. So what are you going to do? Are you going to say it?”

“Uh uh… … .”

“By the way, whatever happens, I’ll take responsibility. You don’t have to worry about anything.”

Jeong Yu-ra asked.

-really?

-no?

-… … .

It was just something that happened.

Of course, responsibility must be shared.

No, rather, I was thinking of shifting responsibility if things got worse.

About half of the rankers asked me to do it for that purpose.

A truly diabolical plan!

… … But whatever the inconvenient truth, this boast from Isin was quite effective for the rankers.

‘what.’

‘… Are you sure it’s okay?’

‘If you’re going to say it like that… … .’

Of course I thought it was a crazy and ridiculous idea, but since Lee Shin said it so confidently, and even said he would take responsibility, it became convincing in itself!

They, who are considered to be people with common sense, thought that there could be no one who would talk nonsense so seriously.

And assuming that what Yishin said wasn’t absurd, the proposal itself wasn’t bad.

Even if they are rankers, how many opportunities do they have to kill nobles?

Of course, your notoriety will increase, but more than that, your experience and skill proficiency will grow steeply.

Considering that their occupations were all assassins, it would be reasonable to expect other benefits as well.

“If you don’t want to do it, then don’t do it.”

“Ha, I’ll do it!”

In the end, they were rankers who fell for Isin’s tricks due to various illusions.
