Overgeared - Chapter 778

Chapter 778

Chapter 778

Changes started happening .

"You want a job? Aren’t you a necromancer? Tsk, find a job elsewhere . ”

"Are you joking? Where on earth would a Necromancer’s Guild reject a necromancer?”

“Where? Here! Get lost!”

“This is crazy . . . !”

The Fold Kingdom .  The little kingdom currently belonged to the Overgeared Kingdom, but was formerly a tributary of the Saharan Empire .  It had a terrible history as every time the king was replaced in a civil war, tens of thousands of casualties would occur .  The reason was the intervention of the Saharan Empire . The empire would confuse the succession to the throne by supporting and inciting princes lacking intelligence . Therefore, the Fold Kingdom had a bloody history whenever the kingship was changed .

Was that the reason? The Fold Kingdom was a bleak land where dozens of ghosts filled with grudges roamed . Undead monsters and ghosts could be found all over the place . This was why necromancers called Fold Kingdom a treasure island . For necromancers who could make undead, the Fold Kingdom was close to an ideal residence .

At least until yesterday .

“I’m going crazy . No NPCs are giving quests . ”

“It’s happening to me as well . The attitude of the NPCs has changed overnight . The intimacy that we have accumulated so far is useless . ”

“Is it a bug? Does it make sense that the Necromancer’s Guild doesn’t give quests to necromancers?”

"It isn’t a bug . I have already contacted customer service . ”

Three days after the end of the 3rd National Competition .  The necromancers couldn’t receive quests anywhere in Fold Kingdom . Even the basic facilities such as restaurants and inns couldn’t be used . They were treated with outright hostility by the people . The necromancers were assaulted or deported after being questioned . The necromancers seemed to be persecuted on a kingdom level .

The water clan people in the Siren Kingdom was even worse .

“A necromancer? Clarify your affiliation . ”

“Huh? Why?"

“Just do it! Ah! This guy is from Immortal! Arrest him immediately!”

"H-Hik!"

The soldiers forced the necromancers visiting Siren to reveal their affiliation . If they found a necromancer belonging to Immortal, the necromancer was arrested immediately and locked in prison for a week . There were a few necromancers killed while resisting arrest .

Why did this happen overnight? The confusion of the necromancers grew .

『 I strongly condemn Immortal, who invaded the Overgeared Kingdom during the National Competition and caused enormous damage . We will never forgive those who caused material and personal damage to us, causing us to suffer a great deal of emotional suffering . I ask for many people to support us . 』

Grid held a press conference in Seoul, Korea and attracted worldwide attention .  Immortal found out that Grid was behind this, while ordinary necromancer players blamed Immortal .  Immortal was split into factions . There was a suggestion that Veradin and his followers should take responsibility .

Veradin calmed his furious colleagues .

"The impact on us is actually very minimal . We’ll be safe if we avoid working in the range of influence of the Overgeared Kingdom, such as the Fold Kingdom and Siren . ”

"Isn’t the biggest problem the fact that we can’t act in the Fold Kingdom?”

“There are many hunting grounds on the continent that are more ideal than the Fold Kingdom . Have you neglected to collect information?”

“Ick . . . ! Ignore the intimacy we have built up in the Fold Kingdom in the meantime? What the hell is this? Many people have suffered because of what you have done!”

"Do I have to apologize? Why? Aren’t we an organization created to help Agnus build the Kingdom of the Dead? The reason I invaded the Overgeared Kingdom is to weaken the power of the Overgeared Kingdom that might interfere with the construction of Agnus’ kingdom . It’s an action for the future of all of us . Why should I be blamed?”

“ . . . ”

“In the National Competition, Grid succeeded in attracting Panmir . At this time, the production of items in the Overgeared Kingdom will get out of the control . Therefore, we invaded the smithies and succeeded in hitting them . Is my behavior really worthy of criticism?”

“ . . . ”

Everyone became mute . The Immortal members could no longer blame Veradin . They struggled as a result, but his intentions couldn’t be blamed . Whatever the truth was, the justification was too good . Veradin confirmed that the atmosphere had calmed down and spoke .

“Once again, there’s no need to be afraid of the Overgeared Kingdom . We just need to move away from the influence of the Overgeared Kingdom . While the Overgeared Kingdom is trying to catch up, we will reserve our power and set up the foundations of our kingdom . ”

Veradin was confident .  There was a limit to the manpower Grid could invest to catch them . The Overgeared Kingdom searching for Immortal was no different from looking for a needle in the desert .

As everyone was relieved by Veradin’s idea, the 2nd ranked necromancer, Bullet, spoke . "How will the normal necromancers handle this?”

The innocent necromancers were receiving damage because of Immortal . Many necromancers were suppressed and lost their places in the Overgeared Kingdom . In particular, the Fold Kingdom was very important for low and medium level users .

"There is a possibility that they will vent their anger by cooperating with the Overgeared Kingdom . ”

This was Bullet’s concern .

“No . The necromancers can’t be hostile to us . If they’re hostile to us, they know that Agnus won’t let them in his kingdom in the future . In the first place, they’re being suppressed by Grid . , Their anger will naturally be directed towards Grid . ” Veradin didn’t feel that this situation was very serious . In his head, the damage was only one person’s death .

But what happened was more catastrophic than he expected .

"Kukuk, you guys . What the hell did you do alone? Huh? Weaklings . Kukuk!”

The door of the meeting room opened without permission and a man appeared .  It was Agnus .  Veradin and everyone present jumped up and bowed . Agnus sat on the windowsill, leaving the table for Veradin .

"Grid has placed a bounty on Immortal for all players in the world . ”

“Huh?”

“He will make an item for every Immortal member killed? Kukuk, kikikik!”

“What . . . ?!!”

Veradin and the Immortal members paled . None of them imagined that Grid would extend his reach to the world, rather than staying in the Overgeared Kingdom . It was the same with the smart Veradin .

‘Giving items as a reward?’

There was a limit to the funds . Veradin thought that Grid was bluffing since the financial situation of the Overgeared Kingdom wasn’t very good . He couldn’t imagine the assets that Grid got from selling the Red Phoenix Bow to Jishuka .

"In the first place, will there be many people who respond to Grid? The reason for invading during the National Competition is purely Grid’s fault . He couldn’t fully defend himself and is now using other people to do his work . It must be seen negatively by the masses . ”

Agnus explained to Veradin who was denying reality . "Have you forgotten that Grid defeated Kraugel?”

“ . . . ?”

“Kilkik! Don’t you know the power of a symbol? Right now, Grid is the best . ”

“Ah . . . ”

Veradin belatedly realized .  The present Grid was a person who received the envy and longing of millions of people . There were countless people sending absolute favors to Grid and one word from Grid had a great deal of power . Grid could easily move the masses .

Agnus whispered in the ears of the pale Veradin . "I don’t know what mischief you are up to but . . . This time the opponent isn’t doing what you want . Right? Kukuk!”

Flinch .

Veradin was startled . He could perceive distrust in Agnus’ words .  Agnus, who had showed absolute trust in Veradin so far, was actually distrustful? Agnus saw Veradin’s confusion and clicked his tongue .

“Do you think I am a fool? A few months ago, you told me to absolutely avoid conflicts with the Overgeared Kingdom . Now you suddenly changed your mind and invaded the Overgeared Kingdom . Did you think I would have no doubts? Huh?”

Agnus gripped Veradin’s thin shoulders with great strength . A necromancer wasn’t strength based so Agnus’ strong grip caused Veradin’s face to distort .

"You won against Faker? You? Kukuk! What’s your identity?”

"That, I think you are misunderstanding something . . . ”

“Shut up . ”

“ . . . ”

"I don’t care what you have in mind . I don’t care if you stab me in the back later . Why? You won’t be able to do anything to me anyway . ”

“ . . . ”

Veradin faced Agnus’ golden eyes and realized .

“Keep one thing in mind . You can do what you like was long as you keep providing conveniences to me like a dog . Work like a dog in moderation . I won’t abandon you as long as you’re useful . ”

Agnus wasn’t crazy . His emotions were just intense, sometimes making him seem crazy .  In fact, Veradin was suspicious from the beginning .  Agnus was acting with such a clear sense of purpose that he couldn’t be a simple madman .  Thus, Veradin was interested and decided to observe from the side . But Veradin didn’t know he was such a bad guy .

‘I have been dancing on top of his palm?’

Veradin gritted his teeth .

"Then what will you do now? I don’t care what happens to Immortal, so should I just sit on the sidelines? Or should I fight Grid as you wish? Take your pick . I only want to have fun . ”

" . . . For the moment, I think it is better to take shelter in the empire and receive the protection of the empress . ”

The wicked Veradin came up with a realistic countermeasure .  He was forced to abandon his first plan of pushing Agnus into a corner and seeing his madness amplify .  It was highly likely that Agnus’ distrust would skyrocket if he was forced into a meaningless fight .  Veradin believed that they should lay low until the public’s interest in Immortal eased .

But would they be safe with the empress? Like everyone else, he couldn’t measure the scale of two billion players . In addition, he didn’t know how persistent Grid was . Grid’s tenacity once he had a clear purpose was close to madness . It was more than Agnus’ insanity, which occurred when pursuing fun to forget reality .

“Gather the insane dragon iron . ”

Grid gave an order after receiving information that Immortal was hiding in the empire .
