Chapter 662

Chapter 662

“Hmm... What do you think?”

The woman asked the man.

The man, eyeing the departing figure of Leeha, nodded.

“He seems much better than my dongsaeng or Browless’. Not sure about his skills, but in terms of cunning... he was very... very interesting. Seems like he wouldn’t get along with Kyle, though.”

Observing Leeha were Brown and Elizabeth.

Brown was commenting on Leeha when he turned around. A little away from Brown and Elizabeth, Kyle was sitting hunched over, his hood pulled up over his head.

“Too cute.”

“What, what? What are you talking about, honey?”

Brown looked at Elizabeth with a baffled expression.

Of course, Elizabeth wasn’t commenting on Leeha’s appearance.

“Oh, come on! What were you thinking? I was talking about that guy Leeha’s quick wit!”

“Ah, ah? Quick wit? I thought- what-“

“Ha, my dear might not understand, but the fifth skill of Black Bass is for emergency escapes, you know? Being able to use it so boldly for attack... I couldn’t have imagined. And how about the endurance of Toon’s teeth? If he could withstand that, he could have used it when he met me.”

“It seems we’ll meet him soon if he keeps up that speed. Let’s ask when we see him.”

Elizabeth said with a twinkle in her eye, and Brown showed a bit of surprise.

Hearing Elizabeth suggest they ask, she turned sharply to look at Brown.

“Ha, dear?”

“Hmm?”

“Seeing him like that makes me not want to meet him, right? Let’s go quickly!”

Mischief sparkled in her eyes.

“If it were Browless, honey would never understand me saying that.”

“And you, dear?”

“Of course, I understand! Let’s run away! So he can’t catch up! Kyle! Kyle! Are you okay?”

Though Brown momentarily faced with a ridiculous look, he was, after all, Elizabeth’s husband.

While making comments that would have outraged Leeha if he heard, Brown and Elizabeth helped Kyle up and moved. Yet, even so, they moved at least twice as fast as Leeha who was using Jellypong for transportation.

“What are you talking about? Huh? What does Leeha-ssi say?”

“Keke, seriously, gathering all together just to hear a word.”

Members of the Byulcho Guild swarmed nearby, their ears perked.

With so many whispers floating around, and Leeha too busy to give proper answers, it was an unavoidable situation.

Sigh“

It couldn’t be helped but to talk with Leeha through a representative. The corners of Kijung’s mouth lifted in anticipation.

“Okay! He’s here, he’s here!”

“What? What’s here?”

Bobae looked at Kijung with eyes full of curiosity. Bobae, along with many in Byulcho, was eager to hear about anything related to Toon.

How they managed to capture him. How did they find out where Toon was? Where is Leeha now? What was the special strategy used?

Who was with him, and so on, endless curiosity!

“Rubini is just online now! It’s a tough time because of internal guild conflicts lately! Should we really pull her into Byulcho as Biyemi suggested?”

While all were curious, Kijung gestured with his fingers making a ‘’...

“Wait, so you’ve been talking about that with Leeha-ssi all this time?”

“Uh, yes?”

“Haa... That’s disappointing, Kay. Well, not that I should say disappointing, but.”

“Now is the time to be honest, Hyein. I’m disappointed too. To miss out on the opportunity to hear the legendary tales of Leeha-”

“Wait, wait! What’s with all of you!? I’m still the guild master! Isn’t the Holy Knight quest more important? If Rubini comes, our quest completion rate will shoot up!”

Kijung looked around at them, dismayed, but all showed disappointed expressions. Of course, it was unlikely that the members of Byulcho considered the guild master’s second class advancement that important.

After all, they had given up their own quests and hunts to gather for Kijung’s quest completion.

Nonetheless, Leeha’s act of killing Toon was no small matter – for Byulcho at a small scale, and the entire Middle Earth online community at a large scale, it was a tremendously significant event. Giggling, Biyemi turned to the guild master.

“How about we chase down Leeha-nim and give him a taste of his own medicine? It feels like we need to knock him down a notch to feel satisfied. Even Jin Gonggong is joining in.”

“When did I ever say that, Biyemi!” protested Jin Gonggong.

Inspired by Biyemi’s words, Kijung immediately sent out a spirit message.

However, both of their expressions darkened instantly.

“Huh?”

“The spirit message isn’t getting through...”

There were two possibilities: either the mystical creature was dead, or it was “blocked?”

“Ke, keke. Surely not? Blocked on purpose?”

Kijung and Biyemi looked at each other.

Even Biyemi, who said “surely not.”

could only think of that as a possibility.

“If the spirit message isn’t going through, it’s a possibility. Especially since everyone’s been in an uproar because of [Subjugation].”

“Hmm, but Shin Nara pulled back Lark’s forces, so I heard it’s been quiet lately.”

“That’s about the Virtue Knights. There are countless knight orders waiting for the moment Shin Nara isn’t around?”

Hyein lent credence to the “blocked”

hypothesis.

In fact, while Lark and the Virtue Knights had stopped performing [Subjugation] and were focusing on hunting, other knight orders were camping near each paleo tribe, waiting for Shin Nara not to intervene.

From the paleos’ perspective, whether it involved the Virtue or not, the distrust towards humans was sky-high.

What would happen if distrust continued to build? For Byulcho, it was a misfortune.

“Well, sacred can’t be everywhere at once. It’s impossible to block everything-“

“-Attack! We’re being attacked- They’re using bows! Guys who look like chimpanzees have bows- no, guns!? They have guns! They’re armed with–”

“-What? That’s alarming.”

“-Aargh!”

Suddenly, amidst the conversation, there was the sound of gunfire.

This was clearly not a good sign.

“Damn it, Jin Gonggong!”

“Gunshots!? What, Kijung? Why all of a sudden did Jin Gonggong—”

“Follow me, all Paladins! We’re going to rescue Jin Gonggong!”

Kijung did not elaborate further. But everyone understood from the sudden gunfire and the words Kijung said.

“We’re under attack?

“Even using items.”

As they rushed toward the hill, the users’ minds began to cloud with confusion.

“We are not enemies! I don’t know why you are attacking-“

“Shut up, human.”

“I’m not even human! I’m a Giant.”

“From now on, anyone who comes from across the sea is our enemy.”

Jin Gonggong stumbled backward, clutching his thigh.

There was no way to escape from the countless ranged weapons aimed at him.

Using a teleport scroll would be slower than them pulling the trigger.

“Let’s... let’s talk slowly. You remember me, right? From before! When I shared food with the-lizardia species and you all-“

“It’s shameful that we’ve only now realized that was a cunning trick of yours!”

Jin Gonggong pointed to a paleo with the half-dog appearance, one of the ‘eldest’ class 480.

The Dog paleo ‘eldest’ glared at Jin Gonggong’s words, fueling his animosity.
