“I have been shooting all night and I only leveled up once.”

High Orcs were hunted by a party at levels 100 to 105.

Leeha, who was level 95, hunted such monsters and grew at a tremendous rate, but one level was the limit.

And all the points he got was put into strength. For the remaining stat points, Leeha distributed in between agility and strength. Two for strength and three for agility.

Stat:

Strength: 90(+58)

Agility: 775(+179)

Intellligence: 103(+52)

Constitution: 135(+42)

Mind: 33(+23)

‘My strength is at 90. I couldn’t focus on agility without knowing the required stats for [Black Bess].’

Then it could be a pie in the sky.

If Hummingbird was not registered in the auction house, Leeha would have bought Spitfire that could be used at level 60.

He did not want to experience something like leveling up and not being able to use it.

‘I have to get 100 strength first…… for now I need to get back to the capital.’

It was already morning. It was the day the war between Hwahong and Byeolcho begins.

It seemed that the two guilds have not yet collided due to Hyein’s position in the friend’s window. Since it was the day the war began, very few people would put all their effort into it.

For the time being, they might test each other out.

Tsk-.

Leeha tore the return scroll.

From the village close to Kunigo Hill, he would take the warp gate back to the capital. The capital was lively as always, but today the subject of discussions were all the same.

“Today?”

“Yes. I won’t go hunting because I don’t know where they would fight. I might get caught in between.”

“Oh, I want to take a look.”

“You’re crazy. You might die with just a graze.” The capital was bustling with discussions about Hwahong and Byeolcho.

Who the winner would be The location of their fight. The reinforcement for each guild.

The stories flowed as users scraped every information they could get from the internet.

“Will Hwahong win?”

“Of course. How strong is Pei Wu, the representative of the Hwangryong guild? If all those dogs attack, they would overwhelm Byeolcho Alliance.”

“No, you don’t know Byeolcho. There are so many Korean rankers. They are patriotic people, so shouldn’t they be united and help each other out?”

“First of all, Lee Jiwon and Shin Nara are missing. There are a lot of Koreans on top 100, and if you count the top 10, there are 3. They could beat Pei Wu, but the 3 of them didn’t come. There’s also Ram Hwajeong.”

“Hey. Don’t make a fuss, and if you’re confident, bet on it. Sports betting companies also made bets for the guild war. If Hwahong wins you get 1.3 times, if Byeolcho wins you get 2.4 times.”

“Wow, they predicted that Hwahong would win the war?”

“Yes.”

Users argued. Leeha went to his destination and carefully listened to their stories.

‘Lee Jiwon…… that’s the name of the 2nd in the ranking. ‘So easy Lee Jiwon.

I thought that Byeolcho Alliance would win, but I guess they failed.’ Leeha thought about hunting orcs. If one was the head of Byeolcho Alliance, what should one do to defeat Hwahong?

What tactics would be used against Pei Wu, who was ranked 4th, and the Hwangryong Guild, which had close to thousands of people?

One would be to recruit rankers, but considering the reactions of users and the betting chances, the recruitment must have failed.

‘Since Shin Nara is part of the Sacred Knights, it’s obvious that she wouldn’t participate… It must have been difficult for Byeolcho.’

They had to face an alliance of guilds that had ranked 4th and 9th in rankings without users in the top 10 of their own! Even their numbers were insufficient!

It was safe to say that the game did not work for ordinary people. In the first place, Byeolcho Alliance was inferior to the point of surrendering or giving up.

However, even when the opinions of users favored Hwahong, it was not easy to determine for Leeha.

‘The words don’t go as one would expect. If it was my fight with the Rising Sun, all odds would have been against me.’

Leeha had a history of overturning the odds as well. If there are people who limit themselves to the ‘world of games’, there are also ‘beings’ that could cause a change.

“You cannot ignore Koreans……. There is no one else more obsessed in winning over enjoyment.”

Although he fell into a reverse trap, Hyein was the one who drove Ram Hwayeon and Ram Hwajeong to his desired location in order to kill them.

Because Leeha still remembered the kind and smart image Hyein had, he believed that Byeolcho Alliance would have other options.

Without him knowing who was currently pushing Kijeong to the brink.

“May I take your order”

After arriving at his destination. A waitress approached Leeha as he sat down, avoiding a noisy surrounding.

“Ah! Hmm, order.”

“Yes. Please tell me.”

And Leeha thought about it. Words that needed to be said at the Holy Grill Capital Branch.

“Vodka Martini. Shaken, not stirred.”

The ‘secret password’ of the Intelligence Guild.

“Are there too many people? Seeing how busy you are with customers, makes me happy.”

“Huhu, does Ha Leeha-ssi want to hear the words ‘Thanks to you’ again?”

“Hehe, thank you for thinking like that.”

Leeha shrugged as Madam Ju smiled and met Leeha.

Holy Grill was definitely popular with people.

There were a lot of people chatting while enjoying the food, but there were also a lot of people who came to gather information.

‘Of course, they just didn’t know that this is an Intelligence Guild.’

Leeha also went to restaurants or pubs when he was stumped on a quest.

It was natural for majority of users to go to the capital and its largest restaurant to find a clue for their quest.

“So, how can I help you today……?”

“I want to ask how far the last thing I asked had been going on.”

“Last time-”

“Did you forget? It’s Shinobi-gumi.”

“Ah…… right , those people.”

Madam Ju nodded.

Why was she suddenly pretending not to know? After realizing that Madam Ju’s reaction was quite different from usual, Leeha was puzzled. Most importantly, Madam Ju looked uncomfortable.

“Unfortunately, the tail was cut off.”

“What?”

“I couldn’t figure out anything.”

“I-Intelligence Guild? Is there anything that the Intelligence Guild Office in the capital cannot find out?”

“Oh my? Please don’t mistake us for daoist priests. We are not oracles, we just gather information.”

What daoist priest? You NPCs know everything through the programming operators!

Leeha wanted to spit out those words, but he couldn’t. Madam Ju lightly bit his red-painted nails.

“Anyway, these people are not normal…. They are somewhat good at handling information. Don’t you think?”

“It’s just as you guessed, Ha Leeha-ssi. Only those who deal with information can avoid the eyes of the Intelligence Guild……. In the first place, this means that they could move

between towns or other places without getting noticed. Perhaps they have already left Fibiel Kingdom.”

They wrapped up as soon as the war between Rising Sun was over.

Leeha wanted to know the true identity of Shinobi-gumi through the power of the Holy Grill. However, Leeha only found one thing after such a long time.

‘They are different from Rising Sun……. They have a different purpose. Besides, how did they avoid the eyes of the Intelligence Guild? Can they be treated as similar to the Intelligence guild?

? Is there such a classification?’

It was possible that they found a hidden system of Middle Earth and its gap.

They might have found some items or routes that escaped the eyes of the NPC Intelligence Guild.

Whatever it was, it meant that those bastards are not ordinary.

“Hmmm……. Ah! Then tell me one more thing. Since you don’t know about Shinobi-gumi.”

“Haha, okay. Gladly.”

He said he would use the Intelligence Guild for free

but Madam Ju only smiled and nodded.

Whatever it was, the fee for using the Intelligence Guild cost a huge amount of money. Right now, they were not charging Leeha, but that privilege would end sooner or later.

Before that, Leeha wanted to get as much information as he can.

“You are probably aware of the war between Hwahong and Byeolcho. They are fighting over the commercial monopoly of Dale Castle.”

“Uhuh”

“The full-scale battle would not happen for a while…… for now, I want to know the strength of each guild rather than their battle location. Specifically, their number and ability of their members, and-“

Madam Ju nodded her head mechanically while listening to Leeha’s words.

Leeha asked the Intelligence Guild master of the capital branch of Fibiel Kingdom, more specifically, the prediction of “Goople”.

“-Who is likely to win in the end ……. I am curious.”

“First of all, what you thought was wrong, Ha Leeha.”

“Huh? Yes?”

“Well, anyone would have expected that, so it’s only natural. It’s against common sense for them to fight each other at the start of the war. However, not this time. The Byeolcho Alliance knows their situation and abilities very well.”

“……Surely?”

No way. Leeha opened his Friends Window and checked the location.

Hyein and Sasuke’s locations appeared to be different. Didn’t he move like Hyein’s shadow?

‘Sasuke is away from Hyein, but Byeolcho and Hwahong have fought?’

Leeha had no choice but to think so.

It’s because Sasuke did not reveal his location to Leeha from the beginning. Ever since they met at Aelstock.

However, the head of the NPC Intelligence Guild watched everything.

“Okay, that’s probably it. The war had already begun in most areas, including the Tyrant Plains.” Without searching or checking,

they raided one of Hwahong’s main safe houses. It was a battle that no one could have predicted, even Hwahong.

“It is as guild master said! There are not many! Only fifteen!”

“Ha, I thought I was going to get fucked by that Kay bastard! How did Hyein-hyung even find out about Hwahong bastard’s safe house?”

“It doesn’t matter now!

Tie them up and get ready to enter-!” They were overlooking a shabby-looking house. As soon as the number of enemies was identified, the dark magician stepped forward.

A job that could compete with a mage for 1st and 2nd place in terms of ‘harassment’ using ranged and DoT attack.

Dark-brown light gathered into his body.

Soul Storm!

Kyaaa–1

In the shabby house, the hazy ghost’s face appeared and disappeared like water vapor.

“They’re tied up! Please to it quickly!”

“Okay! Healers, stay safe at the back! Dealers go!”

Shadowy figures were shot from the hill like arrows. Thirtyfive figures instantly closed the distance using acceleration skills.

“Frenzy sword!”

“Slash!”
