Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

Chapter 489

Minnis’ envoy bowed his head politely.

On the surface, it was an attitude of infinite respect for Puviel, but the captain of the guard standing behind the king of Puviel had his facial muscles trembling.

“dare! Is MINIS now threatening the home country?! “If your intention is to deceive me by saying things like ‘powerful nation’ or ‘powerful nation’, then I will cut off your heads right now!”

“How can you think like that? We have no intention of doing so.”

“lie! The attitude is that the Minis already have more power than their home country, so take care of yourself! A reminder to follow your attitude and what has already been established! You think you don’t know what that means? You-”

“Stop it, Captain of the Guard. “This is the royal palace.”

“?Quick….”

Would the guard captain really have tried to draw his sword if Lotzak had not stopped him?

However, even Lee Ha-na and Shin Nara could see that this exaggerated behavior had some degree of approval from the king.

Although he was a bit excited, it was a crime to make unauthorized remarks in front of the king, and there was no way the captain of the guard would be unaware of that fact.

‘The king is angry too. ‘I don’t like it.’

Lee Ha looked at the guard captain and Minnis’ envoy alternately with an uncomfortable expression. Chiyo and Minnis’ envoy were both smiling faintly.

‘To what extent, what are you planning, Chiyo… Whether you accept it or not, it’s all in the palm of your hand.’

This was the first time they met Chiyo after tentatively concluding that she was the head of the Shinobigumi, and Lee Ha once again found her scary.

It was thrilling to imagine that every action or remark that I thought was simply off-putting or unlucky was all planned.

“I understand Minnie’s suggestion.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty. “Then, please respond as soon as possible, preferably within 10 days.”

“Go, how dare you again! Immediately change your arrogant attitude of imposing a deadline on the supreme being of your country—”

“Enough.”

“?…Yes, Your Highness.”

The captain of the guard was about to go on a rampage once again, but this time the king himself calmed him down.

The King couldn’t have been in a good mood either. That tired expression had suddenly turned sharp.

The diplomatic situation between the first countries after the discovery of the New World was anything but peaceful.

* * *

Minnis’ envoy quietly left the throne room.

Of course, Chiyo, who was next to him, was also working in such a low posture that she had to step backwards.

Only after they had left and even the meritorious subjects other than the guard captain and magician leader had streamed into the throne room did the king open his mouth again.

There was no need for any further explanation for the other meritorious NPCs.

“What do you think?”

“This is a proposal not worth listening to, Your Majesty! How dare those guys-”

“Don’t get excited, Captain of the Guard. However, since they have even announced that they will send out the ‘Fox of the Plains’ as the governor to rule over the lands under Minnis’ jurisdiction in the New World, it is certain that it is not at least a false proposal.”

“Yes, that’s right. The idea of persuading the Holy See of Shazrasian or Ezwen is not something that can be brought up carelessly in a situation like this. “How dare you issue an official check to take responsibility for those heavy words?”

“We will have to decide quickly. Wasn’t there an expedition team to the New World in our home country, including Dame Shin here? “I think it will be necessary to immediately convene them and select the areas that will benefit the most.”

The public figures chatted and expressed their opinions.

But nothing appealed to the king. The person who quietly observed was an NPC that Lee Ha disliked.

“It seems that understanding the true intention is more urgent than the superficial proposal, Your Highness.”

As expected, it was Lotzak who showed a sharp attitude to the king’s questions.

As his hands sparkled with blue light while he was speaking, ice crystals formed on the forehead of the guard captain who was running wild.

‘Not only can you cast, but you can use skills without even looking at the target – no, magic… Well, I wonder if even Ram Hwajeong can do that much.’

Although he was like an old fox, his skills were comparable to or better than that of a top user.

“Then what do you think about Lotjak?”

“At least I don’t think there’s any need to be dragged around by their suggestions.”

“Are you being dragged around?”

“That’s right. Activities such as extracting information from members of the New World expedition and using that information to allocate the best land are exactly what Minis aims for. We should not accept their offer.”

“But then, what way is there? “They have already made a proposal, and the fact that their proposal reached me will immediately spread throughout the continent.”

The King narrowed his brows.

You must have already thought about not accepting the offer. However, a valid reason and solution are needed.

Shinnara had been keeping quiet since earlier.

Leeha was also holding his breath as he listened to the emergency meeting. Although it was only for a moment, Rotzak and Leeha’s eyes met.

Lotjak instantly focused his gaze on the king and opened his mouth again.

“First of all, we need to buy time. “It will take some time to figure out Minnie’s true intentions.”

“therefore. I understand what the magic leader means, but how on earth can you buy time? Are you going to kill the special envoy? “If that were to happen, wouldn’t it be natural for us to become suspicious?”

The King of Puviel also did not want to give up the land in the New World. At a glance, Xin Nara realized that the king’s words just now were ‘sincere’ in some way.

‘At least in terms of greed… he’s an NPC that is unparalleled. Of course, it’s not like I don’t have that ability. In the end, it is said that even killing him is in mind, and the king NPC has the political ability to freely handle even that Lotjak….’

But is Lotjak really playing a game to the king?

Shin Nara felt that there was a need to think again about that. The lot work was indeed a lot work.

“Please leave the special envoy as is. “The special envoy will be nothing more than a puppet anyway.”

“What does that mean?”

“I believe Your Majesty saw it, but the woman who was next to the special envoy… It is presumed that a dancer named ‘Chiyo’ from Minis is the initiator of this plan. In fact, there were several reports of her being seen alongside the Commander-in-Chief of Minnis during the National War.”

When Chiyo’s name came out of Rotzak’s mouth, Leeha also became nervous.

Moreover, the statement just briefly mentioned was a clue that even the following could not just ignore.

Below is the evidence to judge Chiyo!

This is because it was one of the hints that would make the tentative conclusion true.

‘Cho-he was next to the fox in the grassland? Then, after all, Chiyo handles information-”

“So? “Just tell me the conclusion.”

“The special envoy who just visited was a nobleman from Minis. However, Chiyo has no status and is an ordinary person. And if you’re an ordinary person… and even more so if you’re a professional dancer like her, personal grudges are bound to be very complicated.”

Lee Ha was still concentrating on the clues Lotjak had given, so he did not hear the current statement.

Rotzak turned around before the King urged him once again.

The gaze was directed directly at Lee Ha.

“You just have to kill the ‘brains’ of this plan. There is a possibility that someone more powerful than her will appear again, but at least if she is killed, there will be a request from Minis to extend the ’10-day deadline’ that I dared to suggest to Your Majesty.”

Shwaaaaagh!

While Lee Ha was concentrating on other thoughts, a hologram window suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

* * *

[We, Pubiel, don’t know about this.]

Explanation: “But officially, a national figure should not step forward. I believe that anyone who can work for Puviel and sacrifice for a noble cause, and who also has courage and ability, will be able to accomplish this task.

Even if he is discovered by Minnis’ figures, he is capable of sacrificing himself in the name of ‘personal grudge’. go. “One… character.”

Rotzak is trying to transfer tasks and responsibilities that should be carried out by the state to individuals.

If you complete the mission, which must be carried out in secret, you will be able to make the Kingdom of Puviel indebted to you at the national level!

However, if he fails, he will become a public enemy abandoned not only by Minnis but also by Pubiel.

(Pubiel and Minis can be attacked by all users and NPCs) Yes.)

Do you want to accept?

“ok?”

“Why, Mr. Lee Ha?”

“Oh, no, this is now-”

What suddenly appeared?

Why does a quest request window suddenly appear? Lee Ha opened his eyes wide and quickly read the text. Even if Xin Nara asked, he didn’t even have time to answer.

“Is there someone who can take on such a task? Not only trust but also ability is essential. Among such people, there is one who does not hold an official position in our Pubiel and may have a personal grudge against the dancer…” “

That is correct, Your Majesty. “There is someone who meets all the requirements.”

“Who is that?”

“I am right here, Your Majesty.”

Lotzak did not necessarily point out the following. However, the king’s eyes were already directed downwards.

“Right. City Gaza is a land that is practically inside the borders of Minis… Are you saying it is a personal grudge that is entangled there?”

“Yes, Your Highness. Moreover, the castle lord Leeha is someone who has done his best for our palace. “I was able to recognize his sincerity in trying again for the royal family.”

Rotzak bowed to the King and appealed to him that this was the best way. However, to those who heard it, it was completely absurd.

‘You crazy Rotjak bastard – what are you saying? ‘What is this all of a sudden…’

I could tell just by looking at the nuance.

‘Even if they are discovered, they sacrifice themselves in the name of ‘personal grudges’,’ or ‘they try to pass on tasks and responsibilities to individuals.’ What the same words mean.

Moreover, what are the nuances of ‘If you fail – you will become a public enemy’!

‘You’re trying to use me as a scapegoat! Are you trying to use it as a hand that is good if you succeed, and can be discarded if you fail?!’

Lotzak was trying to blame everything on Lee Ha.

The dual intention is to raise one’s stock price by suggesting good ideas and to eliminate those who are a thorn in one’s eyes!

Truly, the abilities of politicians are amazing!

While Leeha was opening his mouth wide, the King was already nodding his head with a faint smile.

That face that says it’s natural to take care of it.

Moreover, Lotjak wasn’t even looking at anyone.

‘I have to refuse- If I refuse here, the intimacy I’ve set with the royal family will drop… but I can’t help it. ‘It’s a business where you have nothing left to gain if you just accept it!’

The mere name of the failure penalties hanging around like bunches of grapes made Leeha dizzy.

From the types of intimacy drops that can be seen at a glance to achievements that you can’t quite understand what they mean.

On the other hand, what is the reward for success?

It’s just a ‘title’.

Achievements can be applied multiple times, but in the case of titles, only one effect can be applied when equipped.

For those who already receive additional attack power from opponents who are 20 or more levels higher with the title ‘Fearless’, there is no particular regret about the title.

“Yes, Your Majesty, but I-”

“Can you take charge of it, Leeha. I have a good idea that it will be difficult. However, I would like to ask you, a member of the Three Musketeers, one more request from the recipient of the Medal of Honor from the Phuviel royal family.”

The following should have been rejected.

I tried to refuse. Even before the talk of the ‘Medal of Honor’ came out of the King’s mouth.

‘Medal of Honor… A+ level achievement.’

Of course, the achievements before and after the A level are less than the numerous achievements that followed.

In the New Continent, didn’t you start with at least a B+ level when targeting Paleo’s intimacy level? Considering that many of them were A-level achievements, there was no reason for Lee Ha to risk his life for A+ level achievements.

However, the effect of the Medal of Honor was different from that of a simple A+ grade achievement.

‘It was virtually equivalent to the qualifications of City Gaza’s castle lord.’

What about side effects? What was the ‘secondary income’ given to recipients of the Medal of Honor?

“It is not difficult to sacrifice one’s life for the palace, Your Majesty.”

“…Mr. Leeha? Why suddenly—”

“But to assassinate her by myself without the royal throne or without the help of the state… Your Highness. “It’s close to impossible.”

Lee Ha narrowed his eyes at Shin Nara and continued speaking.

Shin Nara quickly closed her mouth as she gestured that she would talk later. And while listening to Lee Ha’s next words, Lotzak’s expression crumpled.

“Do you want to die? “You may be a recipient of the Medal of Honor, but unless you dare to regard His Majesty the King as a public servant, how can you make a deal?”

“yes? “What do you mean by that?”

Lee Ha looked at him directly. This time, Rotzak couldn’t avoid his eyes.

“Didn’t Lord Rotzak just say what he was thinking?”

“what?”

“A bargain? Who am I to bargain with when I have to risk my life? I am well aware of the risk of mission failure. Even after death, it will be a public achievement. What kind of bargain would I have? “I can only convey my earnest hope that His Majesty the King will not forget me when this legitimate, secret mission is completed.”

Leeha knelt down on one knee before the king and bowed his head.

Lotzak could no longer open his mouth in response to the act, which seemed almost sacred.

The King nodded, looking at Leeha with a touched expression.

“You are also a loyal subject of Phubiel. good night. If this ends successfully, I will never forget you. Because he will be remembered as a tyrant for future generations who treated the recipient of the Medal of Honor poorly. Is there something you want? “If it’s a material reward, would you be okay with giving me a chance at the palace warehouse?”

“…Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Lee Ha said in a tear-soaked voice.

Shuwaaaa…!

At that moment, the holographic window in front of me changed.

[This is something that we, Puviel, do not know.]

Reward: Title – Shadow Hitman

Permission to use Puviel’s palace treasure trove (1 item, 1 time)

And, seeing the additional alarm window, Leeha pressed the accept button.

The bargain was successful.

‘You little Rotjak, you have the wits of a fox anyway. ‘Giggles, but you still have to take care of your practicality.’

The following gamble, a real ‘bargain’ with the King, was successful. However, the real gamble is only just beginning.

Now, how do you kill Chiyo?
