Dark dungeon inside.
An average of 100 levels of parties were hunting excitedly for level-up.
"What do you think? Isn't it a complete honey hunting ground?"
The party leader said with a proud look.
"Awesome! That's the right mob level and a lot of numbers."
"Monsters seem to be a little high-defensive, but there's not much of a problem with a combination of firepower like us."
"How did you find this place?"
This hunting ground was hard to find in New World.
It was because most of the popular places had owners or were often occupied by guilds.
But even though it was not the first discovery dungeon, the player was not seen.
"Oh, rumor has it that there's a madman wandering around here. That's why people don't come."
"Huh? What does that mean?"
"He's literally crazy. I think it's a PK user."
"What? So we're all right?”
"Hoo-hoo, don't worry. I actually met him when I first came to this hunting ground."
"What?"
"But he's not dead. Because I know how to deal with that madman. So we don't have to worry and just hunt. However, when I first entered, I said,Sifi, aren't these monsters carrying a lot of shields? Take care of that."
"Oh, yeah. I was wondering why you were saying that. Why are you collecting shields...….”
Sneaking-
“?”
"Didn't you hear anything just now?”
Sneaking-
"Huck?!!"
The sound of a nerve-racking chain came from the darkness beyond the dungeon.
And the party leader, who had already been here, hardened his face.
"It's me! Shieldy!"
"Ba, a shielded man?"
"What's that?"
"Keep your mouth shut and watch what I do and follow me!”
He took out all the shields he had gained by catching the monster.
Sneak-de-
The one who finally showed up!
"Bangpae...... hehehe....... Shield...."
a queer, armor-clad creature with a shield all over his body
It's Worcester!
"Huck?! What's that?!”
The party members shuddered at Worcester's red eyes.
"Chi, stay calm!! You can live if you just follow me!"
The party leader slowly laid down the shields he had taken out on the floor.
"Here you are......... Please take these shields and release your anger...….”
Worcester slowly approached his words.
He reached out and took the shield that the party leader had laid down.
-Hey, you guys do it too!
-Huh? Follow this?
They put down the monster's shield.
Goodbye-
"Hehehe..."
Worried about them all, Worcester slowly moved away with an unpleasant smile.
"Huh?! Well, look at that!"
They belatedly discovered a long chain behind Worcester.
There were all kinds of shields running around and scratching the floor.
"Crazy.... ...what the hell happened to the player that crazy?"
"No, is he even right?"
The party leader nodded at the party members' remarks.
"I'm not sure. I don't know if it's a terrible concept, or if it's really crazy...….”
* * *
"Damn it..."
Worcester left after being shielded by players he met at Dungeon.
He shed tears of shame.
How am I supposed to look like this?….’
Contrary to what people say, the shield-eared Worcester was not crazy.
I'm just getting a handicap of curses and systems caused by quests.
[You who have been cursed by a distant ghost who has lost what is precious.
You've lost your reason for your insufficiency of desire.
If you don't keep up with this need......you don't know what you're going to do.
[You've become a madman. Sometimes he mumbles to himself.]
[You must collect 10 shields every hour.]
[In case of failure, 10 minutes of loss of control and madness.]
[ : Doubles all combat capabilities.]
It was a curse from a boss monster while he was attacking a dungeon.
When he was under stress due to a shield, he took the curse and became a shield like now.
'Damn it. What kind of game is that I'm using my psychology to curse!’
Finding a place where the supply and demand of shields is easy, it came all the way here.
Because it was an unusual dungeon with most monsters holding shields.
And he's not getting out of here...….
There was only one way to solve this curse.
Getting your shield back!
But it was realistically difficult.
No, actually it might be more likely than before.
50 minutes of cool time, 10 minutes of buff, passive.
I can't control it, but......it was a tremendous rise in combat power if the timing was right.
I thought I might be able to win against Jae-ho if I use this.….
The problem was that Worcester's pride had fallen.
Two defeats and Jae-ho's destructive power in the competition.
It was deeply embedded in Worcester like a trauma.
When he lost to Jae-ho for the first time, he realized that he was a total news story.
"Damn it... ... The guild has just moved to Elishia....... hehehe...... XX! Don't laugh!! Haha... ..haha!"
-Wooster!
Then, a whisper from the croissant.
-Oh, croissant...….
-Can you come to the Elysia Plantation right now?
-......why would I go there? Kigik.......
He showed his displeasure outright.
-I may stay in the guild, but I told you I'd never go to the old guild headquarters! Damn it! Hitchcock- Stop laughing!
―…….
The sorry state of Worcester left Kruwasang speechless for a moment.
-So don't even think about persuading me!
-But Alsia said she'd return the shield!
-No! Why would I...... huh?
Worcester hesitated.
I'm sure you just...
-......I'll be there right away!!! Oh, I didn't laugh because I liked it! It's coming out of itself! Kihichik!!!
-He, yeah... ....
Worcester ran hurriedly, dragging his shielded shackles.

An envoy to the Rasel Kingdom who has visited the Elysia Garden again.
This time, Zulkan also checked his personal letter without kicking them out.
"They want to talk about the relocation."
It was annoying and annoying when I was there, but still, the tower was much more profitable than the real world.
He lost it overnight and did not even listen to the tower's protest, so he had contacted the Elysia garden.
"It's not worth listening to."
The tightrope of the julkan said.
"In the first place, the decision of the tower is a matter of the tower. Just because they complain to us won't change anything."
"That's true."
Jae-ho also said, "I totally agree with you."
However, Jae-ho's decision was against it.
"I'm going to go to the kingdom of Lassel."
"Your Majesty?"
The julkan exclaimed in surprise.
"There's no way they won't hurt you!"
"It's all right, 'cause I'll be resurrected anyway. And I have to go.”
Jae-ho's attempt to visit the Rasel Kingdom was no other reason.
'It's the quest.’
It was an opportunity to complete the quest to talk to King Rasel.
"......okay."
In the end, Julkan also accepted.
"I'd like to tell you something, then."
"Hmm?"
The julkan lowered his voice and whispered to Jae-ho.
"Will you be able to make the most of it against them?"
"Is there a reason?”
"Gathering up the information we've got so far, something's off. I think it's necessary to shake up the kingdom of Rasel internally. Besides, I've noticed some recent suspicious activity inside the garden......I think we should check."
"Suspicious movement?"
"Yes. I think it might have something to do with the Raselle Kingdom...….”
After listening to the explanation of the following Julkan, Jaeho accompanied Tina to the kingdom of Rasel.
* * *
Knights lined up to welcome Jae-ho's visit to the kingdom of Rasel.
And where we arrived was a meeting of the nobility, where the supreme powers of the Rasel Kingdom gathered.
"Hmm, is King Rasel not coming?"
"Harsh! Don't put your king on the lips!"
"What a baseless, manly manner!"
The nobles bawled at Jaeho's question.
"No, I came to see the king, not the idle nobles."
"Huh, don't worry. The king will give you some time to have dinner with you later.”
Then, an old man who had just appeared gave me an answer.
Jae-ho's eyes were glued to the relaxed old man's old man.
It's a shame to say this to myself, but Jae-ho was the king of the country.
You're the last one to show up after inviting a king like that?
I could see for sure that I had been fighting spirit.
"Ariprah Hao, Duke of the Lassel Kingdom. Welcome."
Introducing him with a sly smile, he was the real power of the Rasel Kingdom, Grand Duke Arif.
'Arif......the head of this seat is this old man.’
All the nobles were reacting for granted even though he appeared last.
In other words, it means he's the real power here.
"Welcome to the first visit of the kingdom of Lassel. Oh, isn't it the first time?"
a remark from a bone-in Arif
"Is that so? Well, it's a common face."
Jae-ho also said naturally.
"You said you wanted to talk about the tower, didn't you?"
"Yes, it's very embarrassing for us......... I thought we needed to have a direct conversation with the parties concerned. Let's leave the last rudeness behind...….”
"Wait. Shouldn't you meet the tower, not me, if you want to talk to the person involved?"
"Huh, don't pretend you don't know. Doesn't it make no sense for a large group like the tower to move for no reason?"
"So... ...I've had a hand job?"
Jae-ho sniffed back and asked.
"What if it is? Would you please tell me to stay in the kingdom of Lassel?"
"Huh, can't be? We can't force the tower to decide in the first place. But once your courageous decision will not cause any trouble."
Ariff's eyes glared sharply at Jae-ho.
"The first offer we made is still valid."
The first suggestion he made...….
"Be crowned and become a state of mission?"
"Yes, that won't make you blush, will you? The tower is still in the kingdom of Rasel, and the kingdom of Rasel will fully support you. Wouldn't it be a good way to honor all of us?"
"Hmm......."
It was an offer that would have already been accepted from the beginning if the Elysia Painter were just a simple player's kingdom.
The kingdom of Rasel was still a great power, and there was no reason to refuse the protection of such a place.
However, Jae-ho has some elves who are considered to be the strongest armed group in the world.
And there was a red tower that was about to be relocated.
'Well, I don't have to say that shit.’
Jae-ho looked straight into the eye with Ariff.
"I refuse."
an emphatic answer
"Huh, what's the reason?”
"Because I have ownership of the Perma Desert as a spirit cremation."
"What?"
"Um?"
groans heard here and there when the word "spiritual make-up" came out
"Well, make-up of spirits! Such nonsense!"
"Don't talk nonsense without even knowing it!"
At their cry, Jae-ho glanced at the faces of the nobility.
'Everyone's lying.’
It means that he had a rough idea that Jae-ho was wearing a spirit makeup.
In fact, I couldn't help but know.
All the elves converge around humans?
There's no such thing that can be possible except for the spirit makeup.
But Ariff was an exception.
[Legend NPC cannot determine a lie with the .]
Of course, I'm sure you know.
"That's a very... ...interesting story."
Arif opened his mouth.
"I'm sure you've heard a story somewhere. I never thought I'd bring up the spirit makeup myself.….”
"You know, it was the kingdom of Lassel that handed over that cursed desert through the deal with the Spirits."
"Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... I don't know if you know about our king's recent sleepless nights."
"Hmm......."
Arif who threw rice cakes!
If we talk about Bullojangsaengcho, we can definitely prove that he's the successor to the makeup of the spirits, but...….
At the same time, a few days ago, he admitted that he had broken into the country in search of the Bullojangsaengcho.
"What......."
Jae-ho slowly opened his mouth.
"He knows better than I do."
a vague answer
But Jae-ho's twisted smile was a good answer for Arif.
