I'm a max level newbie - episode 416
416fury. 29th floor, the one who rules the ocean (4)
Yoshio, who came to his senses belatedly, immediately asked:.
"Goinmul Corporation took all the risk... Are you saying that the compensation will be distributed fairly??"
"yes. I'm so kind-hearted that I can't see other people suffering.."
"……under! Are you asking me to believe that? You, who defrauded us with our relics,?"
Is it because of the memory of being treated harshly at the masquerade ball?.
Yoshio's reaction was extremely cold..
Well, I sent an angry Cheon Yu-seong to the man who was happy that he had recovered the Cheon Chong-un Sword... .The back of my head still feels tingly..
"I brought this up with a good heart... If you don’t believe me, just pretend it never happened.."
"for a moment! Master Yoshio. What kind of rude words can you say to someone who just said a good story??"
"is it so. Player Kang Jin-hyuk said he would sacrifice himself for everyone.?"
"What if I offend you for no reason? I will be at the forefront of that guild.?"
Harsh voices rose up here and there..
"No, in the sense that I have to be careful just in case.…."
Just as Yoshio was stuttering and trying to come up with an excuse..
"Phew… no."
Jinhyuk sighed with an expression that took on all the world’s suffering..
"every… It's because I'm lacking. Instead of saying something to Yoshio, throw a stone at me. I'll take it sweetly until I feel better.."
The voice mixed with bitterness and self-deprecation seemed to represent someone whose good intentions were betrayed..
"no. What did player Jinhyuk Kang do wrong?!"
"The Samurai Guild needs to apologize. an apple!"
The atmosphere changed in an instant..
Yoshio, who said something meaningless, suddenly became a traitor..
Jinhyeok, who cosplayed as a victim, became a doomed hero..
"……Sorry, sorry. I stopped making mistakes.."
Yoshio lowered his head, biting his molars..
good.
This seems to have properly silenced the opposition..
Now all you have to do is drive the nails in well to prevent any remaining fire from happening..
"I also promise to make sure that nothing unpleasant happens.."
Jinhyuk took out the notarized certificate purchased from the coin exchange..
Ugh!
A golden parchment with binding force was unfolded..
[The ship of the Stagnant Corporation will be at the forefront, and if everyone safely arrives at the pirate island and eliminates the pirate group, all the resulting rewards will be distributed according to the number of participating guilds..]
[Default penalty: 10 million coins]
"Oooh…."
"There’s no need to do this, haha! You are so considerate.."
"All right. We trust Jinhyuk Kang and Goinmul Corporation and will make new plans accordingly.."
Even the faint remaining doubts have completely disappeared..
With that, the scattered guilds came together as one..
* * *
"The scammer nature is still there. Roasting and boiling other people probably isn't your main ability.?"
Immediately after the meeting ended, this was the first question Cheon Yu-seong asked..
"Are you a fraud or something to someone who worked so hard? A fraudster."
"I just said what I saw and felt. Is it really any better than that? We are at the forefront?"
Cheon Yu-seong’s voice became even heavier..
29One of the two conditions for conquering the floor, 'Pirate Island''.
There was a large pirate group with the greatest power among the pirates on this floor..
They are villains with hundreds of ships who cannot even be touched by the navies of maritime principalities that are nothing but shells..
In addition, the strait leading to the island is surrounded by numerous reefs and rough sea currents, so it was evaluated as a natural fortress in itself. This means that access to the island requires enormous sacrifice and risk..
but.
"don't worry. Because we all have thoughts."
Jinhyuk smiled brightly as always..
"I hope it's not crazy. Please, don't get us involved.."
"Uh huh. Don't you worry? I can't believe it?"
"Rather than trust you, I'd rather leave the magic stone to the sweet potato.."
"You're crossing the line."
Jinhyuk frowned..
But, it's not wrong..
'Cause I was planning something really crazy.
And for that, there were a few things that needed to be prepared in advance..
'Since all the top rankers are here this time, I have to meet them too..'
When I came here, I heard two people's names mentioned..
"Let's deal with Teresa first. There is information that they are staying in an abandoned church.."
"i get it."
Alice, who is obsessed with shopping, and Lee Tae-min and Yeon-hwa, who are in charge of repairing the boat, decided to stay behind..
Jinhyeok and Cheon Yuseong headed straight to the outskirts of Seta Island..
Half-wrecked and abandoned ships and drunkards.
The scenery you see also changes as you get closer to the end of the island..
Not only are there no monsters, but it's hard to tell whether this is inside or outside the dungeon..
Just then. A rusty cross appeared in front of the two..
'where the martyr sleeps.'
As its nickname suggests, this place was one of the sacred places where angels could appear..
For whatever reason, Teresa was known to have mostly stayed around here since arriving on the 29th floor..
rattle!
When the old door opened, a dark interior was revealed..
And in the middle of it….
The pure white knight was praying.
Accompanied by several paladins.
"They are…?"
Cheon Yu-seong’s forehead was wrinkled..
The pattern engraved on the armor was familiar..
"Is it the Knights of the Holy Cross?."
Jinhyuk also recognized the guild’s trademark..
8Although it is not a large guild equivalent to a major guild, it is an emerging guild that is rapidly emerging with the full support of Rome and the Holy See..
I heard that they are all made up of paladins who have completed their second job advancement.….
……It's even more spectacular in reality..
"I'm currently worshiping."
A paladin blocked the way..
"I have no intention of disturbing you. I just wanted to talk for a moment after the prayer.."
"That's troublesome. After worship, we have work to do among ourselves.."
"Are you saying you're going to stop me from saying hello to old colleagues??"
"If I hang out with you... This means that Teresa's faith may fall into the wrong direction.."
The atmosphere suddenly changed to cold..
no wonder.
From the first time I saw the paladins, their eyes were not very good..
"I guess you're treating me like a complete cultist.."
"It's good if you're a cult member. If I had to classify you, you're closer to the devil.."
"hey!"
What if you take the other side here??
The image is already in a bad situation..
"I understand that guild’s position. Because there are good people in the world who don't fit in.."
"As expected, the Sword Saint understands my heart.."
"I know it better than anyone else."
Seeing how strangely they fit together, I'm so angry that I'm even dumbfounded..
Jinhyuk called Teresa among the Holy Knights..
"Teresa, do you think the same as these people??"
"……."
Teresa, who had been silent the whole time, turned her head for the first time..
Blonde hair, as soft as a thread, flowed down her shoulders..
however.
Teresa's eyes were different from usual..
Somehow, I felt empty and empty, and even resignation was felt in the eyes that were shaking without focus..
……What's going on?.
It was a paladin who gave the answer..
"Teresa has been called by the Holy Kingdom and the great power of the upper echelon, ‘Eden’. Not long ago, Archangel Uriel appeared in person.."
"……It's Uriel?"
"It's an honor. We, the Knights of the Holy Cross, have decided to accept the angels' choice and follow their will.."
The source of a paladin's power is divine power..
In particular, all those gathered here were followers of God's words even before the tower appeared..
'I used to think that the appearance of the Tower of Trials was also a miracle..'
Therefore, their cause and beliefs have no choice but to go to Eden..
"sorry… do."
Teresa muttered in a voice that seemed as if she would break down at any moment..
shit. I never thought that someone other than Gabriel would use his hand first..
"…… You may not know Gabriel, but Uriel is different from the angels you know. Their roots are not in love or forgiveness, they just see us as tools for their own ends.."
"Shut up!"
"How dare you say such profanity from here??"
A wild roar erupted among the paladins..
"As expected, it has a tongue like a snake. The person you are. If you are thinking of misleading Teresa with nonsense again, you are greatly mistaken. I am … No, we won't stand by and watch.."
sreung!
The paladin immediately drew his sword..
Cheon Yu-seong reflexively moved his hand to his waist..
And that only made the situation worse.
chuck!
sreung!
This time, all the paladins in the chapel drew their weapons..
As divine power was manifested, a soft light emanated along the blade..
"……stop. Yooseong-ah. And that too."
Jinhyuk held everyone back..
If we fight here, Teresa will only be in trouble..
This decision may have involved not only personal beliefs but also the interests of the Rosenberg family and European governments..
'If you push yourself too hard, you'll fall into an abyss from which you can't return..'
Of course, one way is to ignore it all and sweep it away.….
At least not right now.
This is because the Knights of the Holy Cross and the Sion Guild had their own roles to play in this voyage..
"You probably know that we're going to Pirate Island tomorrow night.?"
"I won't confuse public and private."
The paladin shrugged his shoulders..
"Our top priority is to safely reach this level and buy new time for humanity.."
"That's enough. let's go."
"Are you sure it's okay? Even if I leave Teresa alone?"
Cheon Yu-seong fiddled with the hilt of his sword as if he was dissatisfied with something..
If only Jinhyuk agrees, he will be elected right away..
"okay. There's no need to cause trouble before it even starts.."
* * *
The next day, Jinhyuk wandered around the island until the sun went down, met the rankers and prepared the necessary items..
Because Oh Ji-won and Maria from the enemy guild actively helped, I was able to receive a lot of help in gathering information from every corner of the island..
'Is this pretty much it?.'
Jinhyuk relaxed his tense joints and stretched for a long time..
As time was running out, time passed so quickly..
When it was so close to midnight.
Drurly!
Numerous ships anchored on the coast have lifted anchor..
Finally, a large-scale expedition to attack the 29th floor began to set sail..
The one that took the lead was, of course, the 'White Pearl', which was boarded by members of Goinmul Corporation..
[Taemin Lee summons Lv13 ‘Air-to-Ground Hellfire – 5 units’.]
An 8-star battleship received from Beriel, Taemin Lee's drones followed around it like escort planes..
In addition, reconnaissance drones that are unarmed but can cover a wide range have completely taken control of the surrounding sea..
"From now on, I will give you a brief briefing. Everyone, make sure you know what you have to do."
In the cabin, Jinhyuk called everyone together..
A huge map spread out along the table. Here, the main bases of the 'Pain' pirates, the largest pirate group on the 29th floor, were recorded in detail..
"I just got my hands on something like this. Wow, the more I look at it, the more detailed it becomes... . hmm?"
Cheon Yu-seong let out a small exclamation..
Then I suddenly noticed something strange..
On the way to the island….
"This can't be... ? you,"
The devil's trap was lurking.
