Chapter 208 You all had an idea, too?
Guards of the Harmel Empire.
As a country that grew up based on strong military power, the guards in charge of public order in cities and villages had strong authority and influence that could not be ignored compared to other countries.
“hey! You bastard! something is winning For what purpose did you come to this village?”
“Follow me! I have something to investigate.”
“You dare make a fuss in the city? Imprisoned for seven days according to Imperial law.”
A guard who punishes adventurers who cause all sorts of trouble and disturbance with the right to take immediate action. Because they were more aggressive than any other country and punished criminal acts without mercy, Apple and Lemon actively accused them of the unjust and atrocious crimes they were subjected to.
“Once you know. We have understood the details well, so please go back now.”
The receptionist shows a lukewarm reaction with a sour look on his face even after hearing both of their stories. Lemon and Apple questioned his attitude as if they were frustrated.
“Is that all? They might want to dispose of the stolen items right away, but shouldn’t we call in the people involved and investigate right away?”
A GM corps that opens a branch right across from the guards’ camp. He could start an investigation right away if he wanted to, but he seemed to have no intention of doing so, frowning at Apple’s words and speaking in a brusque voice.
“According to Continental Law, we have no jurisdiction over events outside our jurisdiction. Listening to the story, it seems like a conflict between adventurers… It’s not like it happened in this city, so I don’t know what you’re asking us to do.”
continental law.
A law and principle governing the rights and obligations of adventurers across the entire continent of Arcadia.
This law, which seems to have a lot of intentions of game companies, contained provisions that seemed to have prepared for this situation.
[The involvement of the city and village guards is limited to disputes between adventurers within the area they are in charge of. However, considering the seriousness of the issue and the scale of the damage, it is possible to carefully decide to intervene.]
Several cities and towns have been set up as safe zones and are pursuing absolute peace zones. Organizations such as the security guards and vigilantes in charge of security resided everywhere and actively intervened in all sorts of conflicts, so users did not fight each other as much as within the village. no i couldn’t fight
“Oh, that’s really annoying. Are you greedy to get the best reward even though all you did was heal from afar?”
“what? If it wasn’t for me, all of them would have been wiped out. Besides, this is a priest-only item!”
“So, if you want to take it, give all the hard-working party members a fair amount of money! Giving money is a waste, but what kind of bullying mind is it to take the item? Anyway, the priests are adding more, really?”
“what….? did you say everything? You bastard black magician really want to search!”
“why? come on? Shall we play?”
“Yes float! Do you look funny as a priest? For a lame black magician like you, one shot of holy magic is enough!”
“Ha… Hey, follow me.”
“Who knows that you won’t be able to leave?”
Whatever the reason, once there is a commotion in the village, the guards who come running immediately suppress it. However, they didn’t care at all whether they killed or saved each other once they got out of town, so usually all fights and disputes took place in the field. And in this part, light users who are enjoying the game in a small way have made requests to the game company every time.
[Please penalize crimes that occur outside of town.]
-Don’t ask. I died from a PK criminal and dropped rare items, as well as my level and skill proficiency. For a light user who only plays for about 2 hours a day, the damage is really hard to recover. It’s really disappointing. The guards keep their backs on what happened outside the village. Please change the game system to prevent mass production of victims like me.
Whether they kill each other or steal items, the guards don’t care about what happens outside of town. So, in the end, Apple and Lemon had no choice but to leave the place after receiving an insincere response from the guards who seemed to have no intention of actively dealing with this.
“Haa….. I expected it, but… the situation is serious…” There
aren’t that many ways to overcome the current situation. Jaeyoung, who was waiting for me, asked when I left the guard building with a depressed expression.
“How have you been?”
“I’m not really interested….. I don’t think I’ll go out directly from the guards.”
“Really…?”
“yes. I am not interested in talking about the Continental Law. Rather, it is an annoyance.”
The reaction of the guards who seem to have no intention of intervening in this matter at all. When he came to the conclusion that it could not be solved through the in-game system, Lemon looked at Jaeyoung with a calm eye and asked.
“I… Dex.”
“yes?”
“Well… why don’t you try doing it the way you did before? If we reveal what GM’s upper management team has done to the whole world through Arfandia, the backlash will probably be extremely strong.”
Users who were angry at GM’s abuse of power and voluntarily retaliated by doing all sorts of terror to the top even though they didn’t ask for it. It was a story that I brought up because it was Lemon, who clearly felt their fear, but Jae-young’s reaction was sluggish.
“Hmm… I’m thinking about that too, but maybe people won’t react the way they did back then?”
“yes….? why?”
“Because the top of the pie is completely different then and now. And… the items that were moved this time have already been exposed by the top of GM, right?”
In the past, the pie top was so small that even the name was not known. But now, based on explosive growth, it was transforming into a fairly famous large top-tier, so it was difficult to buy people’s sympathy like before. There is one video uploaded to GM’s official channel. Because of that, Arpendia had already become incredibly noisy.
[Is it such a big mistake to sabotage a competitor who is a real threat to our upper ranks?]
[Don’t say nonsense! A big company like you bullying the weak like us…]
[The weak….. Are you really the weak?]
Apple and Lemon looked puzzled. And the video that came out of the look of the top of the GM that surrounded them. Inside, Jegyu Sang-ju, a member of GM’s upper management team, was speaking confidently and brazenly, refusing to give in the slightest to the threat of uploading the video.
[I bet you all know that it doesn’t matter now whether you post a video on the Internet and complain to people or not, right? It’s not a small guild that can’t use any power like before, but a large guild that has begun to acquire a scale and power that cannot be ignored on this continent. If you fail to properly protect a single item you transport and suffer, it’s just letting the whole world know about your incompetence.]
Transportation The top of the pie started responding quickly to his words that incompetence in not being able to protect one item is wrong.
[Shit! Everyone ready for battle!]
[Outcast! Run away at any cost while you buy time!]
And Jae-gyu gave the order with a smile as if he had waited for such a reaction.
[Power attack. Wipe them all away.]
The fierce battle started like that. The thing that was revealed after not too long had passed and the entire top of the pie collapsed in a gray light. Everyone who saw it was shocked.
– The fuck? What is that?
– Kervenian’s skull…? why is this here?
– Wow….. Look at the size. It’s really huge. Haha
– Were you moving that? Amazing, Great.
A Dragon Bone of great value. People went crazy over the fact that the perfectly shaped whole skull was being secretly transported somewhere through the pie top, and that the GM top intercepted it along the way.
-Whether that’s a bad thing or not, GM’s top team is great too. How did you know…..
-Wow, can’t I really just give you a fistful over there?
-Honestly, I can’t stand that….. If even Jesus knew that, he would immediately pick up the cross and go to plunder.
-But why is that at the top of the pie?
-I don’t know. Does it have anything to do with Dex?
Arpendia started to have all sorts of speculations and conjectures. And then the point of the story started to flow in a completely wrong place.
-What is the relationship between Dex and the top of the pie?
-I heard from someone I know that the owner of the pie shop is Dex and his real family?
-really? Somehow, he actively helped me in the last video, but was that all acting…?
-The top of GM is amazing. How much money will you get if you sell that thing…..
-But the top of the pie that was robbed of that thing is really….. Dex won’t let you
go… People who look pathetically at the incompetence of the corps and acknowledge that the ability of the GM corps that successfully captured it is great. When I saw these comments running full, I felt strongly that something was driving public opinion, but there was no clear physical evidence, so I couldn’t even respond. So Jaeyoung shook his head at Lemon’s suggestion and said skeptically.
“Unfortunately, it will be difficult to borrow the power of public opinion. If I were to come forward and appeal for help, well… I think those damn perverts would stand up.
Obviously, there were plenty of people who would step out if Dex appeared in the video and asked for help.
The official #1 guild of Arcadia’s 2nd continent, ‘What color are Dex’s panties?’.
I thought that things would be easily solved if this damn guild, which maintains ‘Deck Fenmu’ while making a fuss about changing the guild name, made the move, but it was revealed on his channel for a long time asking for something using that as an excuse. Imagining lying down was more terrifying than anything in the world, so Jaeyoung shook his head and strongly refused.
“Then how…”
Lemon makes a desperate expression at Jaeyoung’s words. However, seeing the movement of the top of GM, who was swiftly controlling even outside public opinion as if everything had been planned and prepared, Jae-young felt a strange sense of benevolence.
“Hey… I get to see my master getting fucked too. It’s really something to live for a long time to see.”
“This time, it was done right… It seems that the GM team thoroughly prepared for it.”
And Tan and L, who are watching Jaeyoung’s suffering with an interesting gaze. Jaeyoung said to Pie and Lemon with an evil smile as if he was having fun.
“Hmm… But isn’t the work really funnier than I thought?”
“Is this… interesting…?”
Apples and lemons that make your blood run dry every second. However, whether or not they know their feelings, the two of them put on an absurd expression at the words of Jae-young, who strangely watched as if they were having fun at the hopeless situation.
“I thought it was an impromptu action… but judging from how things are going right now, it’s going against us, right? It’s not actively taking the side of the top of the pie, either in the game or outside of it.”
Clearly, as the perpetrator, the top of GM committed an injustice. However, when he saw that most of the users were envying and admitting that they were a large company, even though they had excellent strategies and enormous rewards in their hands, Jaeyoung laughed evilly and muttered to himself.
“Have you all had an idea?”
