Login Psychopath - Chapter 181
Only Noblemtl
Episode 181.
Shining Star’s Guild Hall.
It was noisy inside.
“No, why on earth did you cancel the execution order?”
“What on earth is the Guild Master thinking!”
Normally, most of the guild members would be out and about, so it would be quiet, but not recently.
The reason, of course, was the giant bomb that Lee Shin had detonated.
Ian’s continued defeat.
After that, the guild leadership’s unknown response.
Since most of the users were proud of being members of the world’s number one guild, the aftermath was stronger than expected.
At this time, the reason the guild was in an uproar was actually the latter.
The defeat was certainly shocking, but not many people were willing to directly criticize Ian, the face and symbol of the guild.
Rather, public opinion was stronger in favor of everyone joining together to help Ian get revenge.
Let’s pay it back first and then think about it.
If things had turned out as they said, this could have also just been an incident.
Of course, outside of the guild, people will continue to mock Shining Star, but at least the guild will be tightly knit.
Anyway, I’ve already resolved what happened once.
however….
-The order to kill is canceled.
-Instead, I request a conversation.
The subsequent response only made matters worse.
Rather than taking revenge, it seems like he is bowing down to the other person!
Talk is conversation, but after getting hit unilaterally, saying ‘let’s talk in our own language’ just means admitting defeat.
Naturally, the guild members’ reaction was cold.
“… … ?”
“What, what did you say?”
Guild members frozen in front of the guild bulletin board.
Some people could not believe it and went so far as to deny reality.
“why?”
“… I don’t know. Is this right?”
“No, did you catch some fool? Why are you doing this?”
In the meantime, someone said the right answer… .
It wasn’t meant to be serious, but the chaotic situation didn’t calm down at all.
Rather, the confusion grew worse and soon division arose.
“What kind of conversation is this after being treated like this…?”
“Could it be that you are scared of the other person?”
In a way, this was a natural progression.
From the beginning, the structure of Shining Star was such that it was extremely easy for it to split.
Shining Star was a multinational guild with users from various countries from its roots.
As such, each member’s tendencies, preferred play styles, and even their connection times were slightly different, so naturally, even within the same guild, there were quite a few people who didn’t get along well with each other.
However, the reason Shining Star was able to remain strong was because of the guild’s symbolism.
The symbolism of being the world’s number one ranked guild.
Under that symbolism, guild members carefully reduced their individuality and sacrificed little by little for the guild.
Because they thought it was better for the guild even if it meant suffering some losses themselves.
But now, that symbolism has been shaken.
The only means of controlling users with different tendencies was shaken.
Then the uproar was natural.
“The leadership must explain!”
“No, please tell me why!”
“We should also know why we are doing this!”
Users causing trouble outside.
Hazel placed her hand on her forehead as the voice flowed into the guild master’s room.
“Okay.”
“… …Shall I make it quiet?”
“… … No, just leave it.”
He fully understood the psychology of those angry users.
It must be frustrating.
If the positions had been reversed, he might have been standing there too.
But, Hazel also had something to say.
‘after.’
The holy relic was stolen.
So, you are in a state where you cannot provoke your opponent.
If you touch it rashly and the other person gets offended and decides to disappear, it could be a huge problem.
We must resolve this through dialogue as much as possible and obtain the relic.
… … .
‘How do you say this!’
… … Perhaps, as soon as I said that, it was obvious that a huge uproar would occur that would make the current uproar seem ridiculous.
No, it doesn’t stop at just the commotion within the guild.
There is chaos outside too.
The other top guilds will also notice that Shining Star is greatly shaken and will try to bite him at this moment.
Because the top ranks are always fiercely competitive.
It would be different for a guild with a moderate tendency like the Union Guild, but it was difficult to expect other guilds to remain quiet.
And then it really was over.
Attacked from all sides, guild members who couldn’t endure it started leaving one by one…
The complete downfall of the world’s number one ranked guild will begin.
Hazel, who had destroyed several rival guilds in this manner so far, could clearly picture the ominous picture.
‘shit!’
Hazel didn’t cover her head.
What should I do?
How can we put an end to this uproar?
He was constantly struggling alone with his worries that he couldn’t tell anyone else… .
The conclusion always came down to one thing.
‘Something needs to happen.’
In his opinion, this matter had already passed the stage of being resolved within the guild itself.
The only solution would have to be an event more intense than the one currently burning.
This is an event that requires the entire guild to work together as one.
‘What is that?’
Should we create a common enemy?
No, in the current situation it might be counterproductive.
If we have the means to do so, we will definitely talk about catching the culprit of this incident first.
then…….
“… … .”
A solution that does not come easily.
Hazel’s worries deepened.
It was during that time.
A knight came to visit the royal family.
* * *
“Are you the guild master?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
The knight who arrived without notice introduced himself as Wick.
He said he was a knight of the royal family and had come to tell me something.
Hazel’s eyes lit up.
‘… A knight of the royal family?!’
First of all, it wasn’t a lie.
There was a lot of credible evidence.
[Use the skill, .]
[The opponent’s level is very high!]
[Skill use failed!]
“…!!!”
Not only was the opponent’s level higher than his, who was a ranker.
“Hmm, are you doing something useless?”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t really believe it…”
“That could be true… … It’s true that you came suddenly. Then, if I show you this, will you believe me?”
“… … ?”
“ruler.”
A treasure granted only to the knights of the royal family.
It is a badge engraved with the royal coat of arms.
“…!!!!”
Because I showed you the evidence directly.
The possibility of impersonation wasn’t completely out of the question, but it was safe to assume it wasn’t there.
At that level of NPC, they wouldn’t just support the King’s Knights and pretend to be the King’s Knights.
Hazel asked, slightly nervous.
“Why have the Royal Knights come to us?”
Did I do something wrong?
I don’t think I did anything that would particularly offend the king, right?
He did not side with any powerful nobles, nor did the royal knights ever clash with the soldiers.
‘… Then what?’
There was no corner that was stabbed, but the guild’s situation was the situation.
I couldn’t help but worry.
Given the timing, it wouldn’t have been strange if someone dissatisfied with the current management of the guild had suddenly caused an accident for the purpose of protest.
… or, it could be that another guild caused an incident and blamed Shining Star for it.
Because the situation in the guild was so chaotic, it wasn’t strange if they didn’t notice the other party’s scheme at all.
‘…no way?!’
Hazel trembles with ominous thoughts.
What made him even more uneasy was that it was a very possible assumption.
However, contrary to his worries, the only thing that came out of Wick’s mouth was a suggestion.
I’m not sure if it’s a good suggestion, though.
“Monster Wave…?”
“okay.”
“… …Are you talking about the nobleman’s estate?”
“I heard you correctly.”
Wick nods without changing his expression.
Hazel asked.
“Uh… … First of all, can you tell me why this has to be done?”
“I can’t tell you that. Think about it for yourself.”
“… … .”
But, a firm answer.
Hazel’s head spun rapidly.
It’s not that I don’t tell you, it’s that I can’t tell you.
Hazel was keenly aware of this subtle difference in tone.
This probably means that the king, the master of Wick, wants this matter to not spread outside.
‘…! No, wait.’
At that moment, a lightning bolt struck Hazel’s head.
This time, this content.
… … Is it by any chance related to the main quest?
It was just a random thought, but when I thought about it carefully, it was quite possible.
After the main quest is opened.
Philips Leonis constantly kept the nobles in check.
In the process, the Duke of Martinez, who was thought to be the king’s right-hand man, died, and it was revealed that he had actually been preparing a rebellion.
This was a fact that was mostly being broken up in large guilds that had some sort of connection with the nobles.
So most of the large guilds guessed this.
Will Phillips Leonis become an unwavering dictator, or will someone oust him and take the throne for himself?
When the throne of this kingdom is decided, the main quest will conclude.
Although this is just a guess, most people accept it as established fact.
… … But in this situation, the king’s knight came secretly and told the nobles to unleash a wave of monsters on their territory?
Hazel’s eyes opened wide.
It was certain.
‘It’s just begun!’
And the beginning of it all started with Shining Star.
Standing before the King’s knights, Hazel could barely control her expression.
‘Come on, calm down.’
This was an opportunity.
Wow, a quest given by the king himself!
This would definitely help unite the currently divided guild.
No, if it were successful, it wouldn’t be the end of training, but rather it could be an opportunity to go a few steps further than others.
If that happens, the problems the guild is currently facing will be naturally resolved.
Hazel answered immediately.
“If it’s okay with us, we will do it.”
“Is that so? It won’t be easy.”
“I’ll do it anyway!”
[I accept Wick’s offer.]
“I’m telling you this just in case, but you must never reveal what we’re talking about right now.”
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
Hazel responded to Wick’s warning as if it was a given.
I had no intention of passing this valuable information on to other guilds without any warning.
Wick nodded.
“… … Hmm, okay. Then let me explain in detail.”
Wick’s explanation was brief.
All I had to do was tell the adventurer named Ian that he had to participate and where to go.
You can hear the rest of the detailed explanation from the other adventurers who joined there.
“What if it were another adventurer…?”
“He is an adventurer who was personally entrusted with this task by the King. He will probably be the one leading you as the representative of the adventurers.”
“ah…….”
“Why, does this change your mind?”
“Oh, no!”
Hazel shook her head hastily.
It’s a bit cooler though, since other users are involved.
And it wasn’t that my pride wasn’t hurt by having to follow that user’s orders… .
Anyway, the fact remains that this is a great opportunity.
I had to put my pride aside and get everything I could.
Then the next problem is… .
‘You absolutely have to include Ian?’
I don’t know why they made this offer, but since they gave it to me, I couldn’t refuse.
If you tell me to do it, I have to do it.
However, Ian is a saint.
If the people of the church find out that you have lost the holy relic and are involved in such a dirty matter, your position will be quite difficult.
‘I guess the key is to go to church without the church knowing.’
How can we turn the eyes of the church?
Hazel was deep in thought.
… … In fact, there was a separate real problem.
