BXBX NOVEL Chapter 192
‘I’m relieved there isn’t a failure condition.’ Okay, I’ll take care of everything. ‘Including the seal.’
Unlocking the Black Bass and completing the one-shot achievements for a number of field bosses. Where can I find places that meet both of these criteria?
“How will I know that then?” Leeha burst out laughing. Leeha had no idea, but he knew someone who did.
Leeha made her way over to the Capital Branch of the Holy Grill.
The Capital Branch of the Holy Grill was always packed. In terms of taste, this was a type of relaxation that could only be felt in-game, as users sat at tables in three, four, or five-person groups and sampled a variety of authentic dishes.
“Who would want to eat at home when you could eat here?”
“That’s right. I ate four-hand lobster and grilled saber tiger before logging out, and my mom made ochazuke.”
“Me too, I only ate katsudon.”
“You fuckers ate something delicious. I had kimchi and fried eggs.”
Leeha, who sat nearby the grumbling users, held back his laughter and gave the password to the waiter.
“I’m sorry, but you will have to wait.”
“Ah, is Madame Ju not here?”
“She is but……. There were other guests who came first.”
“A prior engagement? Hmm, anyway, please tell her that I’m here, I will wait.”
“I understand.”
The waiter politely bowed and Leeha waited for a while.
The NPCs in the restaurant hear so much information from the people talking, and that information was reported to Madame Ju.
Even while Leeha was sipping a vodka martini, there were many users hanging around holding onto NPCs to get hints for a quest.
“Ha Leeha-nim.”
“Ah, yes.”
“Please come up.”
The waiter came down again and showed the way to Leeha. Wasn’t she meeting someone? Leeha tilted his head and stood in front of the Holy Grill’s office.
“Madame, you have a guest.”
Creak, as soon as the waiter opened the door, two people caught Leeha’s eyes.
As always, Madame Ju wore a glamorous dress, and he saw the back of a slim person wearing shiny armor.
When the person with long straight hair draped over their armor turned around, Leeha could see who it was.
“Ahh, long time no see.”
“Oh? Shin Nara-nim?”
Shin Nara greeted Leeha with a light smile. However, her face was not as lively as usual.
‘She was meeting Shin Nara. Well, she’s a ranker, and if she’s part of the Sacred Knight who live and level up in the capital, it’s reasonable that she knew the real purpose of the Holy Grill.’
Some even call Shin Nara a user who’s almost an NPC. The situation in the Fibiel Kingdom is probably the most familiar to the users.
“You two know each other? Heung, Ha Leeha-ssi, I didn’t think you would be a player~?”
“W-What? What player?”
“Haha, are you getting nervous because of the two beautiful women in front of you? Come, sit down.”
Madame Ju naturally welcomed Leeha and sat him down next to Shin Nara. As it turned out, the conversation between Madam Ju and Shin Nara was not over yet.
‘Then why did she tell me to come? For us to meet?’
It might not be the reason of the director of the Intelligence Guild of Fibiel Kingdom. Leeha did not relax.
“You don’t have to be too nervous. Do you think I would eat you right now?”
“Hmm, does that mean you would eat me later?”
“Oh my, whoever hears you would misunderstand. Who was the one who pushed hard at that time?”
Leeha shuddered at Madam Ju’s smile. When he first handed out the lunchbox, they had tested each other out
“W-what are you two talking about? Ugh.”
Seeing Leeha and Madame Ju like that, Shin Nara’s face flushed. And he realized the words they used….
“Hmm? Uh, wait a minute, Shin Nara-nim. It’s not what you think!!”
“Leeha-ssi is really……. I guess all men are the same.”
“What! What do you mean the same!”
“It’s okay. I will pretend I didn’t know.”
Shin Nara had a slightly gloomy expression on her face. Leeha was a bit perplexed by her sullen tone.
He tried to give Madame Ju a look so that Shin Nara wouldn’t misunderstand, but she only shrugged her shoulders.
“Actually, it should be a 1-on-1 meeting but…. I called you because Shin Nara-nim said that it was okay to bring Leeha-ssi in.”
“Oh, is that so?”
What did she want to know? If it was Shin Nara, it should be something important.
When Madam Ju brought up the main topic, Shin Nara’s expression darkened again.
“It’s something that I couldn’t tell anyone, but I trust Leeha-ssi.”
“What…… is happening?”
“The letter has arrived.”
“Letter?”
It appears that Shin Nara was talking to Madame Ju about a letter.
There was a small piece of paper between Shin Nara and Madam Ju. It looked more like a short note than a letter.
“Can I read it?”
“Yes.”
Leeha asked for Shin Nara’s permission and carefully picked up the note. The handwriting was slanted, but he could clearly understand the content.
“[I will take the king. To hell. HAHAHAHA] What is this?”
“An assassination notice.”
“Ass… assinaton? King? Are you talking about the assassination of the king of the Fibiel Kingdom?”
Shin Nara nodded her head. What was this nonsense? When Leeha looked at Shin Nara with a puzzled look, Madam Ju helped.
“It’s only natural to find it hard to believe. It can be called a playful note…. However, wouldn’t it be a different story if such a playful note had been stuck on the King’s bedroom door?”
“What?”
The central palace was the most guarded place in the Fibiel Royal Palace.
Leeha heard it from Browless when he had sneaked into the Royal Archives. The reason for this is because the king’s office and bedroom were located there.
In fact, the king stays in the central palace all the time, so even the people from Fibiel would not be able to approach him recklessly.
‘But someone went and left a note in there?’
However, it’s a little strange. For what?
“Hmm, if they put it for the king- oh- so- in other words… could it have been?”
Couldn’t they have just killed him?
What could a person who was able to leave a note in front of the king’s bedroom want?
“Phew……. I’m also thinking about that. That’s why I came here to find out who wrote this note.”
“There aren’t a lot of clues. Since it’s a national issue, we will try to find everything out…. It will take some time.”
Shin Nara and Madam Ju spoke one after another, but it did not concern Leeha.
It was natural that he wouldn’t know anything just by looking at the handwriting, in the first place, he was not allowed to enter the central palace, so what would he know?.
The name Shinobi-gumi came to Leeha’s mind for a moment, however, they were people who only dealt with information.
‘Sasuke’s level is high, but compared to Shin Nara, he’ll be caught and killed right away.’
“A person who can get in without being seen by Shin Nara-ssi….. Maybe a job that has something to do with assassination? Isn’t he someone who’s good enough to avoid the eyes of the Sacred Knights?”
“Do you know who it is?”
“No, no. I don’t know anyone like that. Isn’t there a user like that? Either ranker or outsider.”
“Ah, are you saying that it might be a user and not an NPC?”
“Ara? Ah! Isn’t that what you were thinking?”
Did she limit her thoughts because she always dealt with the capital’s business? Shin Nara and Leeha looked at each other with surprise. Shin Nara naturally thought it was an NPC, while Leeha naturally thought it was a player.
“The 10 highest leveled people in the continent……. Two of them are able to move stealthily. It reminds me of one assassin and one dancer.”
“That’s right! Madame Ju, can you focus on those two?”
“Hmm, both of them are difficult to deal with…. In any case, I will try my best. Because I’m also a citizen of Fibiel.”
“In the name of the Sacred Knights, please.”
Shin Nara greeted Leeha by hitting her armor and saluting.
“Thank you, Leeha-ssi! I was able to get some clues because of you.”
“I-I didn’t do anything.” In fact, he didn’t remember that there was one assassin and one dancer among the top 10 rankers.
“I have to go back to protect his majesty. I want to talk more, but I don’t have time.”
“Ah, yes. You should get going. You are in a hurry.”
“Cough, if you have anything to do in the Royal Palace, please visit me! Then, see you!”
Shin Nara looked at Leeha with a sad expression for a moment, then quickly turned around and left.
Madame Ju looked at Leeha and Nara alternately and made a nasal sound.
“Leeha-ssi, you have grown tremendously in your abilities and levels, haven’t you? Your deductive ability has improved a lot.”
“What? It’s just that the two of you were missing something so obvious.”
I can’t believe the two of you didn’t think about the users, this isn’t a single-player RPG. Of course, it was understandable. What kind of user would dare kill the king of a country, an NPC?
“So, why did Ha Leeha-ssi come here?”
“I have helped Madam Ju before, so I was thinking of asking for help.”
“Oh my, you’re coming out like that?”
“What are you talking about? We are helping each other. Isn’t it true that you were able to move forward thanks to my hint?” Leeha shrugged his shoulders and smirked.
When Leeha said that, Madam Ju laughed.
“Okay. I will help you out to the best of my knowledge.”
“It should be something you know. Field bosses, especially field bosses that are higher level than the Brass Golem, when and where they appear, as well as their attack patterns, among other things.
Such high-quality information was not readily available on the internet, but it would be a piece of cake for the director of the intelligence guild.
“Especially over level 150, uhm…….I would appreciate it if you could give me information about monsters of that ‘standard’ or higher.”
“I know what level means, so you don’t have to change the term, if you have a map, I could show it to you, do you want me to?”
Madame Ju drew a mark on the map that Leeha took out,marking the field bosses that appeared all over the Fibiel kingdom and their levels, up to the period of their appearance.
