Chapter.9 Star Fall (14)
****
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: Wow, I’m literally salivating.
– Jokass: Look at how flashy the entry is. How many hero units are there?
– takealook: Seeing as Bacchus Yulan, the Demon Palace, Tiana Pioneer, and that damn bastard, it seems like all the hero units from the three countries of Ergel have arrived. The blue-haired woman next to you is Alicia, the Great Spiritualist, right?
– Highway Nacho Man: Yes, that’s right. Among the hero units contacted by Roderick from neighboring countries, all the neutral ones have gathered. My eyes are great.
– Noru Drug: Hey, isn’t that guy Furry the Jack sitting in the corner over there playing with a dagger? I guess that’s right?
– takealook: Kkkkkkkk Hairy Jackkkkkkkkk Why is he here kkkkkk
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: ‘I don’t get excited even if I kill a creature without hair on its back and stomach. So, rest assured, everyone’ <- What I actually said hahahaha
– Speed Wagon: A total of five knight commanders from five large denominations, including mercy, light, abundance, wisdom, and courage. Five certified warriors from each denomination. Three warriors from the three countries of Ergel. There is one spiritist from the green space and one furry person whose place of residence is unknown. This is what I see right now. Let’s wake up quickly. Also check out the other hero units behind you.
– Noru Drug: Take screenshots diligently. This is sold.
‘It’s so gorgeous it’s truly eye-popping.’
Even if you look here, you look beautiful. Even just looking at him, he’s handsome.
Anyone could see that there were people of all ages and genders sitting around a huge round table, looking like they could be seen on murals or illustrations in stories. They are not mere warriors like me, but people who have achieved feats worthy of the name of a warrior and the rumor has spread through the mouths of countless people for more than a few years. No matter how many heroic points there were, it would have been at least 10,000 points. That means there are a lot of people who think that person is a hero. Even his ugly face would have changed to become that of a hero.
Tiring-!
[Player ‘Professor’ Heroic Points: 943 / Villain (tag: Red Mute) Points: 4372]
‘Huh?’
I checked just in case, but the Heroic Points did not exceed 1,000 yet. It has to be that way. Except for the time when I was active as a commander in Turan, I fought alone, in hiding, or in the middle of enemy lines where no one was watching. Even if you work hard, you won’t be known as a hero, so there’s no way you can accumulate points.
But the villain points have already exceeded 4300?
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: Reference video: Tobrun Magic Tower .avi [141516- Aaaah! Don’t shake it! Ouch! Ahhh!!!]
– Jokass: I had forgotten, but that was the first time I met the water magician I always walked with.
– takealook: It looks like you’ve become quite friendly with the professor, but what would happen if it were revealed that he was the same person as Red Mute? I heard that because of that, I developed a fear of heights.
– professor: No, it was done for the public good, but does it make sense that the villain point is higher than most famous malicious units?
– Jokass: For the public good, he caused a flood in the city, destroyed the magic tower, traumatized a good old wizard, made the Reed Flow School homeless, and enriched himself with the stolen property. Anyway, it was for the public good, so I am not guilty.
– Highway Nacho Man: He’s so bold that he’s not a sharp robber.
Villain Points are numbers as the name suggests. If hero points are an objective measure of how much people see me as a hero, villain points indicate how much people see me as a villain.
I knew roughly what happened. A red mute that suddenly appeared, harpooned Tobrun, and disappeared. Even at this very moment, the remains of the Magic Tower with the Demon Crystal embedded in it remain like a monument in the center of Tobruun, so even now, people’s memories are constantly reminding them of the fearsome enemy known as the Red Mutt. Meanwhile, the commoners and refugees who were driven out of the capital only heard bad news from the battlefield and moved to the safer eastern Tobrun, so the rumor spread again and information about the red mute that destroyed Tobrun was also considered very important and sought by the intelligence departments of each country. The notoriety spread widely.
‘Three punishment. For some reason, I thought it was time to change my appearance, but my body kept getting bigger.’
While heroic points make the target look like a hero, so cool and handsome, and increase the likelihood of a heroic situation occurring, villain points make the target look like a villain. Macho-type characters are made bigger, more vicious, and more ferocious, and are respected by people in the underworld or the underworld. When things get tough, if you throw yourself off a cliff, things like that happen with a high probability of surviving.
‘The villain point of that infant-kidnapping, cannibalistic monster player was 3,700. I’m more of a villain than that person! Even with the reputation of the Red Mute, I’m still a villain!!!’
shit. For some reason, the guy who thought it was Gregory or Greg was confident even before he did the test! I ate it like this, and now, with the good-looking men and fairies in front of me, saying, ‘He’s the same hero, hehe’, and holding the holy object, I can’t help but be suspicious!
As I compared my character to the tall hero units that filled my eyes, no matter how hard I tried to stay sane, I couldn’t help but feel intimidated. A lot more people gathered than expected.
‘An average player would encounter at most three or seven at the most during the course of the game, but more than 30 hero units were gathered here alone. Even though the people gathered here are those with the official title of ‘Hero’, there are probably a lot of assassins who do not appear at official events, or hero units that do not want to be tied down, so they kill the hero and move on personally. Roughly speaking, at a 1:1 ratio, there are roughly 60 hero units gathered in King’s Land. This is the first time in GG history that this number of hero units have gathered in one city. As a broadcaster, I am happy for this first time.
Unfortunately, the problem is that all of those awesome heroes are looking at me with their eyes open.
Oh, I want to go to the bathroom. My heart seemed to shrink despite the faint, indifferent aura. Their eyes were moving along the tip of my raised right arm, which was still playing in real time and had already grown to about the size of my wrist.
In a near-death situation where most people had their hands on their weapons, the old man who had been quietly observing was the first to speak.
“Very… impressive position. Paladin Gregory? “What’s going on?”
“Archbishop! As for this evil person, he dared to infiltrate the sacred church and eat away at it like a disease…”
“Hmm… That’s right. It’s a face I remember. “I remember this time as a new warrior professor who vowed to become the light of this world…”
I came to my senses. archbishop. A face in memory. I know my name too. I mention that now. in conclusion?
.
.
.
.
Ding ding ding ding!
‘The Archbishop took the initiative to save me! Thank you Archbishop! Loharam, loyalty, loyalty!’
Knowing that there were only raccoons like Senadis in the upper echelons of the church, he gave me what I desperately wanted. With such great support coming in, I can’t afford to miss the opportunity.
Instead of speaking, the professor got down on one knee and took the chamber maid’s head out of his inventory.
“May light be with you, Archbishop. “I decided that the first solo queen assassination mission was not possible, so I completed a mission to scout enemy territory and assassinate key figures under the guidance of the church, and have just returned.”
Tuk degurrr.
A head made of half human and half plant rolled towards the center of the table. The sight of a human-like head rolling around with its tongue sticking out was quite grotesque, but no one was to blame. Of all the people sitting here, whether human or monster, the number of decapitated heads was less than three digits.
The archbishop, dressed in plain priestly clothing and with a white beard down to his navel, looked down at his head and slowly stood up, as if giving others time to think.
“Ratura lo haram. “You’re great, Professor Hero.”
“Archbishop! I definitely checked! There must be another whisper in his soul-”
“Paladin Gregory. I am always grateful for your dedication to the church. But… didn’t I tell you about my sister? Anyone who looks directly at the light will eventually become blind and will never be able to see the light again. Try to broaden your thinking a little more. Or try to respect everyone else who works hard for the church.”
“Uh… um.”
The paladin seemed to have something to say, but instead responded by quietly prostrating under the archbishop’s unwavering gaze.
Clap clap clap!
“I heard it was a meeting organized in Gwangmyeong, so I came here to make up for the lack of sleep, and the event was great from the start. “I was a little impressed, St. Norman.”
“Hehehe, I heard that Saint Mary from Bountiful liked him. This old man doesn’t know what to do. Light is everywhere, but it cannot be traced by the eyes. “Sometimes there are differences of opinion among believers and there are fights.”
“If the chat continues, I will go. “There is no time to waste.”
“Ego. If you say so, let’s get started. “Everyone who came has arrived, and the person who was waiting most of all has arrived.”
While I was wondering about the words ‘the one who was waiting’, the Archbishop floated a small cloud of light from his fingertips and floated it over the dark conference room. A halo of light illuminated the surroundings, highlighting the head of the chamber maid I had taken out like a spotlight.
****
“First of all, you all know this, but there may be some who don’t, so let’s start by talking about the crisis facing humanity right now.”
When the Archbishop spoke, the man in gray armor, who seemed to have been waiting and said he had no time, spoke.
“My name is Kabrik, the leader of the Holy Knights of the Church of Mercy. I won’t talk for a long time. Ever since they kidnapped the saint, our denomination has requested cooperation from all denominations and has constantly complained about how strong and skilled the white mute is. However, most of the royal families, except for Roderick, refused, demanding ridiculous levels of interest and compensation, and other denominations also covered it up, pretending that it was not our responsibility and that they had suffered because of our incompetence. The result is the current situation. The birth of an evil spirit. Roderick, who is at the mercy of the wind, and several countries that prepare to fight only after they have already gained strength. It is already far too late, but humanity must exert all its might before it is too late. Minimum defense force? Knights Guards? “What use are national boundaries when it comes to the survival of humanity?”
Taang!
As if unable to overcome his indignation, the Paladin of Mercy slammed the table.
“Do you feel a little sad when you say that? In the past, when our Church of Abundance was on the verge of death due to the insurgency of the undead, they refused support, saying they could not invade the priesthood.”
“Then you’re saying that you didn’t reach out to us on purpose to get revenge for that time! “Even though I heard that the saint fell into their hands!”
“Are you just following the old example?”
“Terra Maria!! Don’t forget that we have already left all of our ‘mercy’ in the North! Even if you are a saint, there is a limit to what you can tolerate!”
I was anxious from the start, but within a few minutes of starting the meeting, old resentment and anger exploded.
‘I knew it would be like this. What would you do if you put them all together like this? ‘It’s only going to end in a loud voice, with no focus, just talking about yourself.’
Although she fights childishly like that, she is a saint and the leader of a religious order. I really realized how strong the leader level is when I was just robbed by that idiot. The saint is on the same level as her, so she must be a very scary person.
Ah, I don’t want to get involved. I just want to give the messenger’s letter to Charlotte or Senadis and then go back. I just want to live alone with people of my level…
“Can
I just say one thing~” Contrary to my blood-filled, tear-filled thoughts, my mouth was already attracting people’s attention with a languid voice that did not suit the imminent situation.
The warriors’ meeting started as soon as I logged in. It absolutely can’t be a coincidence. Perhaps, even if I hadn’t come to the headquarters on my own, someone would have come to pick me up at the right time.
‘It is an important turning point that determines the direction of play. A conference hall where the leaders who lead the armed forces currently gathered in Kingsland gather. The game system is designed to keep the player here at just the right time. ‘I tell you to speak up here and do whatever you want in the future war!’
Of course, if you were a normal player, you would smash the door and shout ‘Help me!’ with your bleeding arm. I wouldn’t have come in saying the same thing. Thanks to that, I stopped that madman’s sword, but now my image
has deteriorated to the level of [a weak and useless clown who doesn’t deserve the name of a hero] .
This means you have almost no say.
As if to remind me of that fact, the Paladin of Mercy stared at me with eyes oozing anger and growled.
“It is not the place for people like you to interfere carelessly… I will only tolerate it once, in consideration of the helping hand that Gwang-myeong gave me when my saint was kidnapped, so please act quietly and appropriately…”
“ If you came here to discuss things like fountains and nabals, why would we have prepared such a round table in Gwangmyeong? We brought a 100-meter long table and seated each person one at a time from the front toward the water fountain. Is there any separate ranking? The ruthless knight is the tenth richest person, and I am at the very end, and it is childish-”
Ugh!
Tuk.
“Oh, I’m sorry. “Defensive sacred techniques are not my specialty.”
“Oh yeah whatever. it’s okay. My neck is fine. Thank you for your help.”
“It was nothing. That’s because I’m grateful that you sided with me. “Thanks to you, I woke up.”
For a moment, a blurry light passed by, and the right hand that I had been swinging for a dramatic explanation flew away, and the paladin’s blade was blocked by a white curtain created right in front of my neck.
“You… I’m sure you said you’d only look at it once!”
“Is someone who has no time doing this right now? “Even if you finish the meeting quickly and prepare for a fight, it’s not enough, so you end up swinging a sword at an ally?”
“that!”
Taang!
“What are we going to do now?” Now look! We prepared a meeting in Gwangmyeong! We’ve gathered all the people who lead the reinforcements! While you guys are wreaking havoc in the West, there’s someone in the middle of enemy territory looking for information on them. Of course, the first thing that should come out of his mouth is ‘Have you seen our saint?’ Isn’t it? Have you completely given up?”
“How dare you play with my heart!!!”
Shit. I really can’t breathe. Breathtaking momentum poured out of the merciless knight, and as he got up, I followed suit. You must not bow down here. Stronger! As sure as if there was something!
I threw my severed right hand at Kabrik, the Paladin of Mercy, as if challenging him to a duel.
“Cut it. I will do this a hundred and a thousand times, and when this damn situation is resolved, I will join in. If you don’t like it, shut up, sit quietly, and cool off. “If the Gwangmyeong convenes a meeting and there are stone-heads who don’t even know what it means when the warrior appointed by the Gwangmyeong Church just returned from the enemy camp, I will call this meeting a waste of time and get into a fist fight with you.”
“Ugh…. Ugh!”
Kaang!
Cabric, who was wielding an auror that seemed to embody tangible anger, swung his sword and plunged it right in front of him. The paladin sat in front of the sword that pierced the table and was deeply embedded in the stone floor.
“…But it looks like he still has a head.”
I was a little tired, but the atmosphere was ready to talk. The other warriors, who at first had blank eyes, began to become interested, and the archbishop was nodding to me with a happy expression on his face. I don’t know what that old man believes in and why he pushes me like this.
Anyway, it’s easier for me if you actively push me like this.
The professor opened his mouth as he saw the archbishop’s beam of light shining on him.
“Well, now we can finally talk. Nice to meet you. I am a warrior professor from the Church of Gwangmyeong.”
Some of the warriors are applauding and others are exploring with their arms folded.
From now on, I have to roast and boil these guys to suit my taste.
