326th episode
Big Thunder's way to Atrius.
However, Jaeho and Tina accompanied him.
'What a random plot.’
It was the next day that Big Thunder came back to Jae-ho after returning to the tower.
When asked if the plan went wrong, he said no.
"I thought if I went to a crowded place, I'd get a lot of weirdos. In fact, I never go to big cities and live only near the white tower. For your information, the hunt is just a set dungeon, so you don't have to meet anyone else."
“…….”
In other words, he said he needed a shoulder older brother who was frowning behind him.
I just teleported and asked him if he could fly away, but he said it was impossible.
"I don't know the teleport coordinates in that town."
"No, then how did you get to the Elysia Garden?"
"It was possible because it was the magic of the White Tower.”
The impudent attitude was ridiculous, but the strange party was completed because Jae-ho had to visit the kingdom of Rasel again.
"He's in a bad mood."
Even though Tina, who was displeased with the strange feelings of hostility but not hostility, kept on whining.
On the other hand, I thought it was quite a fun trip.
Big Thunder is an undeniable powerhouse.
A pacifist who never fights with others.
It was an opportunity to see how such a person plays games.
"Why don't you fight people? Just."
Upon hearing Jae-ho's question, he answered casually.
"It's just a difference in the way you enjoy it. I don't like to hit people either, and I just like to see myself getting stronger.”
It was the attitude of a very traditional RPG game player.
Repetitive hunting, level-up, tem farming.
A blessed gamer itself who feels pleasure in this tricycle.
"I have nothing to say if you want to know where it's easy to level up. There's no easy levelling in the world, and if that's possible, it means the game's already ruined. It's a repeat hunt. An infinite repetition in a dungeon that can perfectly mollify enemies who are neither too strong nor too weak."
"Go, thank you."
I wasn't really curious about that, but Jae-ho expressed his gratitude.
That's true. His V-tube videos are all like that.’
After meeting Big Thunder, Jae-ho, who did some research.
There were only two kinds of Big Thunder videos.
Dungeon attack video and speed run.
It was a dry video showing only the battle without any comment.
However, the number of views on the video itself came out quite a bit because it was a perfect player without any bumps of players who achieved the highest level.
Also, the completion of the meal was evaluated as the bible of players whose videos are over 300 levels.
'I wasn't funny.
On the other hand, Big Thunder has also done some research on their opponents.
And it was quite a shock.
The lack of deals was often filled by colleagues around him, but it was inevitable because the level was low.
However, the sense of combat and the absurd agility of the human race seemed to be human.
New World players could be divided into three main categories.
One whose physicality of reality and virtual reality matches, whose virtual reality is better, and who falls short of reality.
Jae-ho, of course, was the first case, but the level was too much.
After watching the video of Start Dream Team, Burning Sun even mistook it as a game screen.
I suddenly wondered when I saw such a ridiculous physical.
"Why do you play games?"
"I'm trying to grow flowers."
Jae-ho replied as if it was nothing new.
"Really because of the flowers? Is that what you're really doing because it's fun?”
"If it's no fun, why would I do that in the desert?"
"Crazy?"
"Ah! Alsia! I feel like I can beat him with a little more effort!"
Tina finally showed signs of overcoming the limitations of Big Thunder's stimulus.
"That's amazing. I heard it was just a concept seed, but I didn't know you really liked it.”
"You don't think that's weird? What's fun about beating the same monster every day in dungeon?"
"A poor fellow who doesn't know the joy of level-up."
"You don't even know the charm of flowers."
Walking with meaningless comments toward each other, they finally arrived in the kingdom of Rasel.
* * *
King Rasel and King Jaeho, who met King Rasel separately, told stories about the kingdom.
"A few families with the exorcism family officially rebelled against the kingdom. So we're about to move the military to rule them for treason."
A power struggle within the kingdom that eventually leads to civil war.
But it was inevitable.
In this world, nobles must obey the royal family.
Now that you've revealed your teeth in public, it was an act that would undermine the royal authority.
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
"Thanks for the heart, but this is a job in the kingdom. We'll take care of it."
Jae-ho was only saying it out of courtesy, and this was a good opportunity to establish the authority of King Rasel.
'Well, royal knights are much higher than regular knights. I'm sure you'll figure it out.’
However, the opinions of King Rassel's aides were slightly different.
Hey! Alsia! I heard you came to the kingdom of Rasel!
As soon as I left the royal family, there was a whisper from Taylor.
"How did you know and whisper like a ghost?"
And Big Thunder came with you?
"How else did you know that?"
I'm fully aware of your news. What are you going to do with Big Thunder? Are you trying to help me with the civil war?
"I heard Big Thunder doesn't fight people.”
Oh, right. He's a little loose with screws, too. So you're gonna help me, right?
"No. King Rasel will take care of it, so I'm out."
What?! No, you're saying that when you're short of hands?
"Isn't the nobility sufficiently overpowered if the royal knights step up anyway?"
My opponent is a mule-dealer. You saw how strong the duchess knights were when you played the Feyra Raid!
"Just at the scene, I checked the power of the Royal Knights."
No matter how powerful the exorcist may have, it would be useless if the royal knights were called in.
No... but it's kind of like that. You don't know how war works, you don't know what's gonna happen....... if you'd rather give me your hand and make sure...….
Taylor is rambling to persuade Jae-ho.
Jae-ho read out what the inside was.
"So you want to save as much as possible the power of the Lassel Kingdom, so?"
...yes.
It wasn't just him.
There are many other powerful Counts in the kingdom, but Taylor is most favored by King Rasel.
It was not because he was good, but because he had a close relationship with Jae-ho.
That's why I've done all sorts of things so far to be recognized, and this time it's time to feed off the blow of all that effort."
What happens if this is the end of all the peacocks in the country? Wouldn't someone else be the new duke after him?
"Want to be the Duke of Taylor in Count Taylor?"
That's right. And it's a kingdom where all of my second act of gaming is at stake, and it's unfair if my military power is weakened and corrupt.
"Why don't you just take some of the guys you know who fight well?"
If we were to fight, we would have to hide our true identity no matter what we do, but I didn't want to do such a hassle.
It was a problem even if we got caught.
We have to share the credit if we get other guys involved. You're less. Isn't it natural to choose the one with the best cost-effectiveness?
"...this is a complete robbery."
Mm-hmm. He, if not, has a common interest. It's good for you if the kingdom of Raselle and I go well!
It's true, but I don't want to admit it.
And according to the latest information, some players are flocking to the ruins.
"The players? Did you recruit mercenaries for the war?"
I thought so, so I looked into it, but it wasn't. They seem to think that saving mercenaries is enough for the surrounding lands and for the ruins. Well, it's worth it. But you know that, don't you? There's a lot of trouble to go on with the Duke.
“?!!”
It's the Mint Destruction Team!
"Are the Mint Destruction Team gathering there?"
That's my guess. They're pretty big anyway. The Duke of Burgundy thinks he's trying to use the Mint Destruction Corps for war.
"There's no possibility at all.”
Recently, the fight between crocodile birds and mint raiders on the Perma desert has been organized and shrewd, and I heard that the dead may reappear on the scene the next day.
It means the point of revival is not too far away.
"On the map, it's not too far from the Parma desert.”
That's exactly what I'm talking about. That's why you want to get rid of them.
"Hmm......."
A little while ago, I was not interested, but I changed my mind when I heard that there were people believed to be Mint Destroyers.
"Okay. I'll help you if it's confirmed that you're a mint-destroyer.”
Really?! Okay! I'll check it out right away!!
"If you cheat, you'll be damned?"
Of course! I'm an assassin! It's a class that sells trust.
It was Taylor's confidence at the top of Jae-ho's list of people who don't trust him.
* * *
Tina and Jae-ho, who could not go with Big Thunder because they had a private meeting with King Lassel, immediately set off for Tuchar Port.
"You said you were friends with the king, but you must be true."
"I don't know if you know, but I'm a king, too.”
Jae-ho replied to Big Thunder's words.
"So you're done here? Can we go straight to Atrius now?"
"But for now...….”
northeast of the kingdom of rasel, where opposition is concentrated
And down below it is the port of Tuchar.
It's a strange time.….’
With the civil war just around the corner, I was worried that I could get through without any trouble... as expected of
A mass of black smoke rising over the pass around Tuchar Harbor.
"...what is that?"
Big Thunder asked with a suspicious look.
"I know. That kind of smoke shouldn't come from there."
Standing at the top of the pass, I could see the situation in Tuchar at a glance.
What is it? Has the war already begun?’
In the lower castles outside the city were seen groaning with injuries, and inside were houses destroyed by dialysis machines.
Numerous soldiers surrounding the territory were camped out, but seeing that their uniforms were different, I thought it was the coalition of opposition aristocrats.
"Taylor?"
Jae-ho whispered to Taylor.
Huh? Mi, sorry. I haven't got any information yet. Just a little more time... No, wait a second. Isn't that too much in the first place? If I already put pressure on you...….
"No, not that."
Taylor, who flinched at Jae-ho's whisper and reacts excessively sensitively.
Jae-ho, who stopped him, asked about the situation in Tuchar Territory.
What?! Already in battle?!
"Did you hear anything?
Well, not at all? Hold on......... Holy shit! There's already a little talk coming up from the commu side! Why didn't I know this?! How's the situation? Is it too serious?
"I think I'll know once I see the Earl...….”
On the surface, he seemed to be on the defensive.
I'll report to your Majesty right away and move your troops! Fucking bastards! What a dirty surprise!
It wasn't something an assassin could say.
"Alsia. Are you trying to push me into this mess? If I go over there, I think I'm going to have a fight with a passerby."
Jae-ho shook his head when asked by Big Thunder, who was looking at the situation.
"I didn't know this was going to be a mess either...….”
Gugugu District
At that moment, a rough sound felt through the ground.
Soon after, dozens of horse riders rushed into the vicinity of Jae-ho's party.
"Who is it?"
"What are you... huck?! What's with your face!"
Jae-ho was as surprised as the freaking knights.
'Enemy? Or are you from a nearby compound?’
Fortunately, his opponent finished his pi-fi identification first, relieving Jae-ho of his worries.
"The bloody face that came up from hell, and the Elf! The opponent is clearly Alsia!! Attack!"
