Chapter 85

Chapter 85

Kongory was filled with people, just like when Seol was first transported. However, Seol was already aware that it wasnt a positive sign.

And youre telling me to believe that?

Seriously, Im telling you the truth! Theres already talk that Nevenia isnt going to do anything about the current situation.

How?! Two cities have burned down already! And what about the deceased?! And the people who were kidnapped?!

Do you think a country moves on feelings alone? They move for their own interest. What am I supposed to do when Nevenias royalty already made that decision?!

Dude, keep your voice down. Someone could hear.

Who cares if they do? Is there anyone in Kongory who isnt insulting the royal family?

Thats true, but

Seol was curious about what they were talking about.

First, Seol headed to the information guild, but for some reason they were inoperational.

Damn it This is going to be troublesome now.

Seol, with no other choice, headed to his second option, the Adventurer Association. There was still information to be discovered here as long as he looked hard.

[Title: I worked so hard to create my own space in Nobira, so what the hell is all this?]

It took just one day for me to become a complete nobody

Is the weather here in Kongory better?

- If youre from Nobira, just stay in Nobira.

- The weathers better here for sure, but its nothing compared to Seoul.

- Man, I miss Seoul I want to go camping again too.

- Nothing beats a barbeque while camping.

- Wake up, you idiots. Do you really think nows the time to be talking about this?

- What do you want us to do then?]

Other than Kongory.

After all, we dont know when this fucking city would die too.

Im going to go further south.

- And you think they'd accept you?

- If you go there, Im going to curse you.

- Ah, thats a bit

- I still cant believe Nobira died like that]

[Title: I cant believe those fucking weaklings are acting up again. I cant handle it anymore]

Im going to call Private.

Private hyung yeah? Please say something Nobira died.

- Did you forget how long its been since Private ran away? LMFAO

- Why the hell would Private join this?

- This is too large-scale for a transferee to handle.

- Call Han Yeo-myeong! I thought he was strong?

- Stop bullshitting. The situations way too dire.]

[Title: Is this real?]

Are the fucking Nevenia bastards really going to pretend like they dont know? Really? Why?

- They made a statement that theyre going to do a good job on national security and not let any more trolls enter LMFAOOOOO

- Theyre practically calling the doctor after the patient has died changing the password after they were hacked these guys are ridiculous LMFAO

- Whats going to happen to us now?

- Nothing. Well just continue life.]

Seol noticed numerous posts discussing current events in a negative light, alongside a substantial number of self-deprecating posts.

It makes sense since theyre practically defeated soldiers

Even though the most Seol could do was come up with his own assumptions based on what they said, it seemed like they werent able to have a proper fight and were one-sidedly massacred by them.

They were soldiers who came back from war, who suffered defeat without a chance to retaliate.

And right now, many people in Kongory were transferees and citizens of Nobira.

[Title: The reason that Nevenia cant respond to the situation]

Its because theyre surrounded by enemies on all sides.

It would be one thing if the kingdom were moderately sized. But as you all know, Nevenias stupidly big despite not having the capability to take care of it, and as such, there are a lot of people trying to take pieces of it. Setena, who is to the east and north, is the biggest culprit of this, in fact, they just blatantly taunt Nevenia.

In the end, since Nevenia needs to be on guard against Setena, they put more of their soldiers there. This leaves the security in the northwest comparably weaker, and the trolls were able to slip in through that.

- So what are we supposed to do then?

- Nothing. I think Setenas aiming for this.

- Huh?

- Nevenia needs to sign a non-aggression pact with Setena first, but Setena isnt signing it. And because of it, there are people who believe Setena and the troll alliance have signed a treaty and are trying to take Nevenia for themselves.

- Are you a troll?

- What the fuck did you call me?

- You just knew so much haha

[Title: Nevenia has abandoned its subjects]

These Nevenia fuckers are feigning innocence when the people of Nobira and ruin hunters are all being kidnapped LMFAOOO I should just leave this shitty country.

- They seriously make me want to throw up.

- Nothings happening even after something like this happened because the people at the top are incompetent.

- From what I heard, Not only is Nevenias army incompetent, but theyre also extremely corrupt.

- Are they going to go for a hat trick? They already have two shitty things, might as well go for a third.

- Forbes lists the Nevenia Kingdom as the #1 Place Koreans Hate the Most, shocking many

- Why the hell would Forbes decide that LOL

[(NEW) [<Loyalty>s Post]

I just have a lot of body heat, so

Slippery like an eel as always.

Yeo-myeong and Noeul both stood up and walked to Seol.

I heard that you were looking for me. More importantly, how did you know that I was here?

Ive been keeping tabs on the ranking and the only person who I could think of with a score like that around here was you, hyung.

Did you know that I would be going to the Adventurer Association?

Yup. I sent some people to other places as well, but that was the most likely place youd go, so

Youve become quite meticulous while Ive been away.

- Around here (X) In the whole world (O)

- It would be weirder if the ground didnt collapse when a giant like him is walking around LOL

Yeonhui, who was next to Yeo-myeong, approached them.

She then spoke to Yeo-myeong while looking at Seol.

Yeo-myeong, were here too. You should introduce us

Ah, sorry. Hyung, so these are the guild alliance members. So starting from the left

I dont have the time to be doing that, sorry. Im quite busy. Ill probably have to go after listening to your request.

Ah Y-Yeah? But whos that next to you? Is she a party member?

Karen took off her stuffy hood and introduced herself.

Nice to meet you, Im Karen.

A-An elf?!

An elf?

Woah this is my first time seeing one.

As multiple people childishly reacted, Yeo-myeong led both Seol and Karen to their seats.

As Seol glanced at Yeo-myeong, Yeo-myeong started talking.

The reason that weve been looking for you is because of Nobira.

Hm

You already know about whats happened in Nobira, right?

I do.

Are you interested in it?

Not necessarily it, but I am interested in someone who is caught up in it.

Ah, is someone who you know kidnapped?

Seol shook his head and responded.

Im still not sure if she was kidnapped or not. Not like theres any way to know though.

Ah, we have a list of deceased and a list of missing persons.

Really?

Yes. If you want, we can look for them.

Since no one in Nobira knew about Chao, he quickly asked about Hamun.

An alliance member left before shortly returning to give a report.

It seems like the person named Hamun has been kidnapped.

Is it first-hand testimony?

One of the ruin hunters who was successful in their escape apparently saw Hamun get kidnapped.

Seols expression turned sour.

Urgh

A few flinched at his fierce gaze.

Damn it, so he had been caught up in it.

Hyung?

So, what do you want?

Uhh So

Yeo-myeong was unable to speak. He was frozen by Seols intense mood.

Yeonhui, who couldnt stand to waste time, stepped in.

She was a confident woman who was sure of herself.

We want you to help us in Kongory.

What do you mean?

With Nevenia not setting up appropriate measures for the next attack, the only people who can defend Kongory now are the transferees and the soldiers here.

And?

We dont know when the trolls who attacked Nobira will attack Kongory. We want to put our strengths together to prevent that from happening.

And you want me to help you with that?

Yes.

Seol believed that it wasnt a bad trade for him either.

With the trolls completely destroying his base, Seol believed that if he hadnt found another place to go to yet, growing within the powerful alliance would be a hundred times better.

However, their proposal was insulting to Seol.

So you want to defend Kongory at least? Is that why you called me?

Do you dislike our proposal?

...Not only have you given up on fighting back, but youve already been absorbed by them.

What? What are you talking about?

Me, my comrades, my base, my town, my city, my country, my race. Are these really the things you value?

Seols cold voice made Yeonhui flinch.

Then is that not the case for you, Snowman?

It isnt.

Creak

Seol and Karen stood up.

I only fight for myself.

...Are you refusing our proposal?

I am.

So you plan on abandoning Kongory.

Kongory was never mine in the first place.

Sigh If you keep going like that, youll run out of places to go to someday.

Thats fine. I only need whats mine.

Are you running away?

Seol gave a confused expression and looked at the others.

Running away?

...I thought you said you would be leaving Kongory.

I am.

What else is that other than running away?!

Karen laughed after hearing that.

Whats so funny?!

Ah! Sorry, sorry.

Seol looked at Yeonhuis eyes once more before giving a calm response.

Im leaving to get Hamun back.
