“A quest shared throughout the guild. I've never seen anything like it. ”

“Besides, it's an Empire quest. The difficulty is a double S.”

A huge embroidered flag with the symbol of the Kaimon Empire and the flag of the Titan Guild fluttering beneath it.

More than 200 guild members were headed somewhere with the flag.

“Be prepared, Emily. It is the Sikar Desert. ”

“Yes, Shakran. ”

An elongated longsword with dark red blood armor and two waists hanging from each side.

The famous Shakran, ranked # 1 in the Korean Server Warrior Class, entered the sizzling Shikar Desert.

The Sikar Desert, which has an average level of over 130 ordinary monsters, has yet to become an impossibility zone for ordinary users, but Shakran has not yet stepped foot.

“Shakran.”

“Why.”

“I don't know about the Sikar Desert, but will this be enough to get us through the next perforated desert?" ”

Following Sailon's question, Shakran is momentarily lost in thought.

“Hmm.”

The Perforated Desert was where Ian was pierced with the Knights of the Empire during the Griffin Hatching Quest.

Perforated Desert, a vast desert area surrounding the perforated plateau.

It was a lower grade area than the perforated plateau, but it was an extremely dangerous place with an average level of over 150 degrees, so Sailon's concern was not too great.

The average level of the current Titan guild expedition was in the late 120s.

The guild master, Shakran, was also a super-high level over 140 levels, and Sailon, who was second in knight-ranking, also had a tremendous level in the late 130s, but the highlands of the 150th level monsters' perforations were still a threat.

When you finish your thought, Shakran opens his mouth slowly.

“Even a slight detour must be broken through. You have to go through there to get to the Central Continent. ”

Emily, who was next to you, said with a worried expression.

“I think it might have been better to cross the border at all through the northern continent. If they do, they may be attacked by the Ruspel Empire, but I think they may be weaker than the mummies or the Monks in the Perforated Desert... ”

Emily says Shakran shakes his head.

“No, then it's too late. And if you get caught in the top guild of Ruspel while you're on the move, you're in trouble. ”

“That's right. ”

As you walk down the desert path to your ankle, Shakran thinks to himself.

‘The first guild to tread the land of the Central Continent will be the Titan Guild. ’

Kailan has always been a connoisseur of all content since the beginning of the Open.

Although he was not the first former user of the warrior class, he was also the first to achieve level 50 and build a tower of warrior work, and he had mastered numerous fields and dungeon discovery rewards.

Shakran was a user who knew better than anyone the effects of 'good fortune’ and the ‘good fortune’ from it in the game.

That's why this large-scale update was another opportunity for him.

‘Due to the Empire quest you completed a few days ago, you have accumulated 2,000 specialty points first. You must quickly take control of the Central Continent to gain Guild level benefits. ’

And suddenly, a user came to mind.

A user of a summoner who has recently become an explosive topic in the community.

And in the Pascal Islands, where I stopped by for a quest, a user who was put to the sword by Izzie for a short while.

Thinking of Ian, the tail of Shakran's mouth dries up.

"Ian, Ian... I hope I can see you again..." ’

Before meeting him, Shakran had thought of the ‘Summoner’ class as a largely useless PVE class.

Most of the summoners he's met so far have been weak.

But Ian was different.

Although he was dealing with self-immolation, he put him at a crossroads.

‘I wish I could meet you in the Central Continent. Of course, if we stick together, we won't be opponents. ’

But there was a part of Shakran that was wrong.

Ian, who was dealing with Shakran at the time, wasn't completely intact.

At that time, only one of Ian's summoners was on the battlefield.

In a way, it was as penalty as Shakran was without the body.

You hear someone shouting from behind the guild party while Shakran is in reminiscence.

“Hostiles on the right! ”

Shakran's head turns to reflexes.

And what he saw was a group of monsters, about 140 levels.

“Engage and move. All hands to battle stations! ”

According to Shakran, the users of the Titan Guild are in a frenzy.

And Shakran's new brother quickly shot forward.

‘Let's get warmed up...? ’

* * *

“Ahhh...! ”

The truth that woke me up was slightly embarrassed in front of my eyes.

Even in the middle of the night, the streetlight had to come in and look a little bit normal, but it was because it was dark at all.

“Oh, did you fall asleep in the capsule yesterday? ”

Jinsung recognized that it was in the capsule, and he clapped his hands, looked for a button, then pressed and muttered.

“I can think of something... I think I lost my mind as soon as I finished the quest.... ”

The authenticity coming out of the capsule stretched out both arms and opened a large base.

“Ahhhh...! What time is it? Dawn?”

Check the time. 5: 00 a.m.

Thinking about the time I was asleep yesterday, it made sense.

“But I slept for more than 12 hours. I don't know why it was so good... ”

Jinsung's gaze was briefly on the new capsule.

The old capsule was also quite comfortable on the inside, but the new capsule felt really warm as if it was sleeping in a bed.

Jinsung turned his gaze to the bed in the corner of the room, muttering to himself.

"Should I... throw away the bed...?" ’

I'm serious.

But somehow, there's no turning back.) I decided to be patient because I thought I was going to become obsessed.

Instinctively, I wanted to check on the quest success rewards, but I stopped when I tried to get back into the capsule.

It was because my stomach fluttered.

“Ah... It's been more than two days since I've eaten... ”

Jinsung closed the capsule again and headed to the kitchen.

The moment I realized hunger, I felt unbearable hunger.

Well, what's that smell? ’

A mysterious shopping bag on a table.

The sincerity of looking at it was momentarily embarrassed.

It was because there was a little warm lunch box inside.

On top of that, there was also a note in loving writing on a small post-it note.

[You can just eat the soup in the boiler, fry the fried rice in the range for 3 minutes!]

“ …. ”

The sincerity of reading the memo was embarrassed.

‘My mother? No, she couldn't have come... If she had, I wouldn't still be alive...' ’

And soon I could think of Harin.

‘I guess Harin went there. Did you play a game? ’

Then I could smell Harin's perfume in the house.

Queek -

Jinsung, who was sitting on a chair, opened a lunch box and started eating.

It was said to be warm in the note, but Harin's fried rice was just good enough to eat.

“Wow... This is really good, right? ”

After 48 hours, the food tasted really honey, and Jinsung quickly cleaned out the lunch box and lay on the bed with a satisfied expression.

Jinsung sent a message to Harin with a smartphone that was lying randomly by the head of the bed.

[Harin, thank you! Thank you so much... See you at school later!]

And before Ian put his smartphone out of his hand,

Harin's reply immediately arrived.

[Meet me at the station by 3: 30 p.m.!]

“ …. ”

The sincerity of seeing the message was embarrassed, but he nodded, smiling deeply.

“Yeah, well... I've had such delicious meals, but I don't think I can do that. ”

Jinsung, who had never felt better, stepped into the capsule with a light step.

It was still close to nine hours until 3: 30 p.m.

[Welcome to Kailan's World.]

Ian looked around as he listened to the familiar dial tone.

"The lord's private bedroom. They must have been forced to log out and moved this way. ’

Ian wakes up and opens the information window first to check on the rewards.

Once the most prominent was reputation.

‘Khh, your reputation has now exceeded seven digits. ’

Over the years, we have accumulated a reputation of 2.2 million.

Ian became satisfied.

‘Would it be okay for me to be promoted by myself now? ’

The baron's reputation for his ascension was 800,000.

But it was a bad choice to promote with just 800,000 reputation.

It was because of the low reputation of the Lord, which decreased the loyalty of the Goblins and the low ethics.

Ian's reputation was only 850,000 until this imperial quest.

But now that I have more than a million upgrades, and I think I have 200,000 left, there won't be any big problem.

Ian opens the information window and enters the promotion tab.

‘Yeah, let's get him promoted. ’

Birding position was essential for advancement to the territory, which was the next stage of the Territory Rank.

Ian pressed the Ascendance button without hesitation.

A system message that comes to mind at the same time.

Seeing the green message, it seems to be a message sent to all guild members.

[The title of ‘Lord’ Ian has been promoted from ‘Baron’ to ‘Bird’.]

[You have been promoted to a Rank of Lordship, increasing your Guild Reputation by 10,000.]

[Lord status increases, appetite for territory by 5.]

:

:

System messages that are listed bloop at a time.

And at the end of the green message, I remembered a white message that only occurred to Ian.

[Increase your rank, increasing the maximum NPC you can register as a Mainstream by 5.]

[Rank increases, gaining 5 Loyalty from Psychics.]

As Ian continued to read the messages, he saw the increase in the loyalty of the false gods, and he suddenly wondered:

‘How loyal were my pretenders originally...? ’

Ian opens the info window on the list to check his loyalty one by one.

---------------------------------------

-Located Lists (Loyalty) -

[The maximum loyalty is 100.]

- Seria...

Level: 110/Occupation: Summoner/Grade: Hero

Loyalty: 98

- Malaise -

Level: 107/Occupation: Warrior/Grade: Rare

Loyalty: 85

- Tenpus.

Level: 114/Occupation: Priest/Grade: General

Loyalty: 82

- Serious.

Level: 109/Job: Wizard/Grade: Unique

Loyalty: 90

- Lorten...

Level: 110/Occupation: Warrior/Grade: Rare

Loyalty: 85

- Caesar.

Level: 246/Occupation: Warrior/Grade: Myth

Loyalty: 5

---------------------------------------

‘The more you pay attention, the more loyal you are...' ’

Ian's most important concern was Serie A, which was the highest rank until the equivalent of Caesar.

The next highest ranking Cerius was also the second most loyal after Ceria.

Ian who saw it was hot inside.

‘Was I a snob...? ’

Slight reflection (?), and Ian had to make a crumpled face at the end of the list.

“... I knew I shouldn't have called you lord..." ”

Faithfulness of the new shaman, Kaisar, is overwhelming 5.

Loyalty was created by Ian's own promotion, but his original loyalty was zero.

Ian suddenly became anxious.

What if Caesar gets in the way of something? ’

Fifteen loyalty, so it wouldn't be strange to hit Ian in the back of the head during a hunt.

On Ian's back, a cold sweat flowed down his throat.

‘If Caesar sharpens his head, I'll be out of the game.... ’

Kazar the Goblin is more frightened than a compatible horse!

Ian shakes his head and takes a step out of the royal chambers.

Gain -

And the moment you open the door.

“Birch, are you feeling better? ”

Ian's ears heard a familiar voice, and Ian's gaze naturally turned toward him.

“Hmm?"

The one who called Ian was Pauline.

"No, why is Pauline here? ’

Ian questioned Pauline with a curious look.

“No, why is Lord Pollin here...? ”

In Ian's question, Pauline took a light example and politely pushed the scroll made of red cloth towards Ian.

“This is a letter from the king when he wakes up. ”

And when Ian accepted that, Pauline's words resumed.

“And the king ordered me to take you in the future. ”

Chuck...

Pauline re-exemplifies the stealthy move.

Then a system message appeared before Ian's eyes.

Tyring -

["Knight of the Brawl Pauline" wants to be your pretender.]
