29. power of public authority
The question followed whether this could happen in the heavily guarded Podina, but for some reason there were no guards in sight. As I turned my head to find the guard, I heard a threatening voice again.
“What? Are you free? Aren’t you walking soon?”
“Well… … .”
As the dagger pierced my waist, my vitality decreased. There are four looters in sight… But these are not all. At least five of them are surrounding and watching this way. It’s not a very good situation… I have a strong feeling that it’s worth doing.
‘Why do I feel so complacent?’
It’s not conceit or belittling. I don’t know if it’s because of the newly acquired Aura or if I’m just stronger, but these are definitely worth trying. The problem is that the guy standing in front of me distorted his expression, as if my thoughts were expressed through his expression.
“Is this bastard laughing?”
Black light flows from the dagger he is holding. to eat one room. It was then.
“Stop fighting!”
One of the besiegers stepped forward and grabbed a dagger to stop the installation.
“What. Lee Long.”
“There is no need to stimulate you unnecessarily.”
“therefore? You dare stop what I’m doing?”
“Hey. This was my job as the original negotiation team!”
“Where are your work and my work! Our guild was attacked by this bastard, get out of the way! See you later.”
They are arguing with each other about something. tsk… I don’t know what nonsense it is, but do I have to intervene?
As I slowly pull away, the leader turns his head towards me.
“Where are you running away!”
Tsutsut… … .
A dagger with a lot of condensed mana pierced the lower abdomen. It’s not just a threat, it’s a proper blow… … .
“What are you running away from?”
[Mud Shield]
Pook-
The dagger that was about to pierce my stomach was buried in the thick mud. Naturally, I didn’t even have a single damage. Thanks to the mud shield that automatically defends against fatal wounds.
“Good.”
It’s automatic, so you don’t have to worry about it. Long live Skill Eater! There is a penalty that all skills will fly away when you die, but until then, it is a mythical skill that allows you to fight with far more options than others. By the way, these bastards are really… … .
“Hey! We are not here to fight!”
The guy who had been arguing with the leader intervened.
“You are out!”
“You shut up!”
The two bicker again, but these are really… … . It looks like a bale because I’m still.
“You should have said that before cutting it. Summon the SS!”
kong! Kreung! kang!
White balls, yellow balls, and black balls appeared around me after the cooldown for reverse summoning ended.
“attack!”
At my command, the three rushed towards the three surrounding me without any hesitation.
“Kwaaang!”
“Ugh! this… What are these!”
The panicking trio flailed the daggers they were holding and retreated.
However, it would be difficult to view white balls, yellow balls, and black balls as simple summoned beasts. Their basic stats are only 1/5 of mine, but I invested all the equipment from Mount Rundine in these guys. Where did the +7 paralyzing dagger or the +6 spear come from? My summons were wearing the equipment I picked up while burning so many sacrifices. Besides, the armor these guys are wearing is the equipment that Seth-sama sponsored, and to be honest, the defense is as good as all the Lundine Ranger sets I’m wearing.
Oh, I suddenly burst into tears. If it wasn’t for Seth’s sponsorship, I would have stolen at least one suit… For the crime of offending me, you are sentenced to death.
Aww!
Sudden surprise is always right. As soon as he pulled out the sacrificial longsword, the arm holding the dagger shot up into the sky following the path of the cut.
“Ahh!”
He vomited a belated scream, but it was too late.
“die!”
“Kuk!”
Blue energy gushes out of the small shield held in the other hand. Is it a defense skill? But will that stop it?
[Blood-soaked blade]
Whoa! blah blah!
I tried to block it with a clumsy defense skill, but my attack cut him in half with that defense skill.
The guys who were being pushed by the three Goo brothers looked at me and opened their mouths. Are you surprised that my attacks are so strong? So what? If you have a knife, you must have the mindset to be hit by a knife.
As I shook my longsword and lightly brushed off the blood on the blade, a welcome message popped up in front of me.
Challenge Quest 12- Marauders- 31/50
“Oh, were you marauders?”
If this is the case, the story will be different.
When the guys who were besieging the outskirts met my eyes, they hesitated and retreated. to run away?
I cut a few people at Lundine Mountain, but I was still dissatisfied because it was not a satisfactory number, but the counter went up. A good idea just came to mind.
“It is a plunderer! harrier!”
“What? harrier?”
At my cry, the quiet town began to stir.
* * *
the guy is chasing And it’s all because of that battle leader bastard.
‘Why did you threaten me!’
Originally, this work did not require many people.
What they were trying to do was rather decent. The guild leadership unilaterally cut off the deal with the contractor after the contract failed. It was a huge loss to the guild that the dead guild members couldn’t log in for three days due to misinformation.
Credit was cut, but there were many customers who used them anyway.
And luckily, when the guy was caught in the information network spread in Podina, the order from the leadership was to make up for the loss by selling the information on the contractor in reverse.
No matter how low-level it is, since a single person killed dozens of people, it must be a nuclear whale among nuclear whales where money rots, and I expected that if I spoke well, I would easily pay 23,000 gold for information. In a word, just selling the information about the guys who hired me was the end.
The problem was originally that only one of the negotiating team, himself and his subordinates, came forward, but that crazy battle leader followed suit. Then Ji tried to coax him out, and in the end it ended up like this. The reason was obvious. No matter how good they were, they were the elite of the guild over level 40. As many as 10 of them had been put in, so he wouldn’t have thought that he would rebel.
The commander of the battle also had a reason. Because the last time, the upper line was extremely open. No matter how it happened in the low-level zone, I was reprimanded for how I managed the guild members’ combat power so that they were slaughtered in droves. So it seems that he decided to try to establish his prestige, but the problem is that the leader crossed the line and went crazy.
Their level was 40, so they calculated what they would do if they were upset, but the situation reached its worst due to that small misjudgment. It is said that a guy who spends money like crazy can even go beyond the limits of his level, and that guy was that guy.
“Kwaaaang!”
“Kreureung!”
Three fully-armed gnolls roam wildly, sprinkling chest lights in their eyes, and if you add up all the equipment they are wearing, it seems to be worth thousands of gold. Is that all?
“Follow me!”
“Catch and kill!”
The number of users who secretly appear one by one and pursue them is increasing like a snowball. I wouldn’t know if it was a field, but I can’t touch them on the subject of looters. I don’t want to provoke the guards. The problem is that he has already cut down five of his comrades.
“How many alternate levels are there?”
Usually, the number of skills used by the opponent is used to determine the level, but it is impossible to guess.
“hey! Where have you been hiding~!”
Lylong felt goosebumps running down his spine at the relaxed voice coming from behind him and hid himself in the back alley where he was hiding. It was then.
＜What happened? Lee Long! A message pops up saying that the combat team has died!＞
The one who whispered was the deputy guild leader who instructed him to do this.
Thanks to this, I think of the battle leader who accidentally interfered and ruined everything, and his subordinates are attacked.
＜As for how that happened… … .＞
He told the goal and everything that happened between them without omission. A little bit of MSG, but just the facts. As expected, the deputy guild leader shouted soon.
＜No! Why do you cut a knife all the time!＞
＜That’s right. That’s why I’m going crazy right now.＞
＜Damn that strong. If you do well, it was an opportunity to trade with a big hand… … .＞
A user who played in a level 15 beginner dungeon just a week ago is cutting down level 40 players? It means great wisdom.
＜Rather, give me instructions on what to do. They’re coming after me to kill me now.＞
＜I can’t help it. Bring him to the slum hideout. I will summon all the elite. I’ll have to catch it and try to solve it through conversation.＞
＜Okay.＞
＜Damn it, as soon as this bastard capsule comes out, I’ll throw it in the light.＞
The battle leader, who ignored himself and ran amok, won as a miner who only mines for 20 hours out of 24 hours a day from today.
* * *
“Leveling up is also going well.”
I only killed 5, but the level keeps rising. The challenge quest counter goes up step by step, so it’s just a medicine. I went around rooting the people I killed step by step. Like a looter, the equipment wasn’t very good, but the jackpot fell for the guy he killed.
“Yeah. 50 gold!”
Gold poured from the guy who just rooted. Money is also judged as an item in Seion, so if you are unlucky, the money you are holding may fall out. And this guy is that unlucky guy. Thank you. I’ll use it for my daily bread.
“Looks like there’s only one guy left… … .”
I got them all, but I can’t find one.
I can’t even find where it’s hiding. It was when I was snooping around.
“Hey! stop you!”
When I turned my head, I saw the guards who had heard the commotion and were glaring at me. He was holding a heavy spear in one hand as if he would stab him right away if he acted foolishly. I immediately stopped in my seat with both hands raised.
There is a word that has been emphasized repeatedly in Witube or strategy books. You mustn’t rebel against the guards. It is true that the guards are strong, but the real fear of the guards is that they are public power.
The moment you attack a guard, you will never be able to move freely in the city where that guard is located. In addition, if you accidentally kill a guard with an attack, your honor score will be severely reduced.
“What is going on?”
“We couldn’t help it because the looters attacked.”
“harrier?”
“Yes.”
At my words, the guard nodded after looking at one of the corpses I searched for.
“Definitely a looter. But committing murder in the city is a great crime. I will take you, so please follow me!”
Two guards approach me. When I stealthily step back, my eyes become ferocious. No, I was self-defense, why are you holding me? However, I don’t think I’ll see much good if I’m taken quietly, and I’m afraid of the consequences if I run away. ah… Perhaps? Not sure if it will work, but it’s worth a try.
“I am moving under the command of Ranger Strider Karen Lindston.”
As I mentioned Karen’s name, the faces of the approaching guards changed. The head of the guards asked me.
“Can you prove it?”
“Here it is.”
When I lifted up the bow and quiver I received from Karen, the guard who was examining them carefully nodded and said,
“Oh, sorry. You were on duty.”
Until a little while ago, if you did something stupid, you thought you would turn it into a window stand, but now you apologize with a smile.
After all, networking is the best no matter what. As soon as his relationship with Karen Lindston is confirmed, he immediately changes his stance.
“Um, is there anything we can do to help?”
It’s something to help… A lot. Whoop whoop.
