the chosen ones.

(2) ========================= “...

Conversation?”

"Yes.

To be honest, I am very embarrassed.”

real reality.

The 12th floor stage was made with the motif of an imperial palace.

In the midst of that, my voice rang softly.

“I don’t know why the swordsman is attacking me.

It's the first time you'll see me, Master Swordsman, but I've always admired Swordsman's noble swordsmanship.

But it’s very difficult because you’re using all kinds of knives.”

Geomseong's expression hardened.

Even though I'm only telling the truth now.

'I have no choice but to do that.' There was a reason why the old man's face hardened.

The day the swordsman and I first met.

That night that the swordsman can't remember now, as soon as he saw me, he was like this.

-Did I not know that you were a special assassin sent from the Black Dragon? -I don't know if the witch of the Black Dragon sent it or who hired it, but I will do my best to kill you! He suspected me as an assassin.

'It is also an assassin raised by the Black Dragon.' Even now, the swordsman must be suspicious of the same.

I am an assassin who has been subcontracted by the Black Dragon and has countless bloodstained hands.

No, he might be even more skeptical.

'Or a special assassin secretly nurtured by the 5th guild.' -Well.

but.

The mastermind nodded his head.

-From a third-party point of view, you are a very strange zombie.

'That's it.' A new hero appeared at a time no one expected! The Hunter, who was only an E-class, attacked the impregnable stage.

Even as soon as the attack was over, an agreement was signed with the 5 major guilds, and they were promised equal treatment with the guild leaders...

'It's too award-winning.' -that's right.

To Grandpa Marcus, you're not a self-made hunter.

It's a fake hero created by the giant guilds weaving together.

tsut The spirit behind clicked his tongue.

- It's a zombie.

Did I mention that your kill count is roughly 4090? 'Perhaps it's showing 4093 right now?' -okay.

To Grandpa, the number 4093 isn't just the number of people you killed.

Because you're not a hunter who works alone, you've been raised as a servant of a huge guild.

From the point of view of the swordsman, there is no choice but to reflect that way.

-in short···.

'Yes.' at a time.

'It will be seen as the number of humans who were assassinated by the giant guilds through me.' A huge guild that reigns in the tower.

That they have assassinated at least 4093 humans.

It's just a misunderstanding and only an illusion...

Still, to that old gentleman, it's going to be a supremely disgusting sight.

"her." If the swordsman had been a slightly less righteous old man, he would have retreated from here.

“There is no difference between the outside world and Babylon.”

However, the swordsman did not know the compromise.

Even though I knew it, I refused.

“Since I entered the tower, you guys have been flirting with me every day.

I'm telling you to join a guild.

But he adamantly refused.

Do you know why?”

The sword spirit gave strength to the hilt.

The old man's hands are old.

flesh stretched out However, the veins that were exposed through the skin did not age at all.

Even if a lion's mane grows old, a lion's teeth are sharp.

“In this tower, in the new world, I wanted to show that even one person can rule the top.”

The sword was so blue that he stared at the crowd with eerie eyes.

"kindred.

Nationality.

Native.

Unlike the outside world where the stench vibrates because of being bound by things like that, a child can survive alone with just one sword.

You can succeed only with your own talent and hard work.”

“·················ogue.”

“In order to bring that very hope to all people, I have not formed a gang until now.

But what are you guys doing?”

The swordsman pointed the tip of the sword.

“You are nothing but muddy water that has already stagnated and rotted.”

The guild leaders were wriggling.

anger.

shame.

resentment.

Silly emotions drifted over the faces of the guild leaders.

The remarks that the swordsman had just made were a declaration of war.

There were some who seemed to be indifferent like the Inquisitor, but most of the guild leaders had wrinkled faces.

“Swordsmanship.

Even if no one else knows, you say that…”

"under! I already forgot that I was all alone when I attacked the 5th floor! grandpa.

It looks like he has dementia and his head has gone bad!”

“That’s it.

Callenberry Mr.

If you had used your network from the outside world to help, the current food shortage would have been a lot less, and our seniority..." The clamor simmered.

The hunters gathered here have seen their faces since the early days when the tower was opened.

Are there a lot of things stacked on top of each other? As emotions and emotions collided, the air in the audience became turbid in an instant.

“If I was ranked number one, I had to show a posture worthy of being number one.

But you're good on your own lived alone Do you know how many hunters could have been saved if you hadn't been flirting?" The witch of the Black Dragon said as if cursed.

“It’s not just the fifth floor.

Even on the 7th and 9th floors, if my grandfather had cooperated, the damage would have been cut in half!”

A viper from Cheonmumun smoked it to live.

“An adult who said that Myeong-saek was a member of a chaebol family in the outside world.

If you had helped, the current system would have made a much more stable soft landing.

You say we're rotten muddy water? nice Then you are just an irresponsible child.”

Count Shang Liang stared at him fiercely.

Truly a mess.

Even in the face of the guild masters' curses and death, the swordsman wrinkled his eyebrows once.

A single word from the old man made the fire even more intense.

"noisy." “·················ogue.”

“At the topic of grown-up adults….

Do you know that I am your paternal grandfather? put it away If you are going to fight, fight with your sword.”

The air in the audience room became uncontrollably harsh.

- Whoa! It's also Grandpa Marcus.

Because you are my only disciple.

Only the mastermind did not grasp the atmosphere, but admired it.

-Hunters don't hate it as much as chattering about networking and politics.

If you have time to care about that kind of thing, swing your sword one more time! It made sense.

But···.

Unlike the background, I felt sorry for the first time.

“We fight even where there are only ten people.”

The hunters who were in an instant situation looked at me.

I sighed.

“Even the NPCs on the 11th floor fought unitedly saying that they should protect the empire.

But look.

Rather, hunters like us are pointing the finger at you while using evil.

Wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing if you're not better than NPCs?" “...

Hunter Gongja Kim.”

The witch opened her mouth.

“This has nothing to do with you.

More serious than you thought…”

"I know.

I see.

If your name is a Hunter, there are other things you need to do.”

I glanced around the audience room.

“Let’s focus on clearing the 12th floor.”

“·················ogue.”

“It’s good to give people hope, and it’s cool to reduce the number of victims as much as possible to attack the tower, and it’s all good.

Please do your best to clear the stage in front of you.”

I said while looking at the sword in particular.

“Even though it’s just an NPC… your empire is in danger of being destroyed, right? You're asking for help.

At the most, if people summoned as heroes don't care about the safety of the Empire and just fight with each other, what kind of ignorance is that?" “Your boy….”

It was sincerely said.

Anyway, the swordsman couldn't threaten my life any more.

Because the difference in power was clear.

So, now my concern is how to clear the 12th floor, this is all.

Complex emotional battles or political battles between the Hunters were out of interest.

“Is there anything wrong with the warrior? If someone else can't solve it for you, that's a hero.

Now that we have cleared the 11th floor, let’s solve the rest of the stages.”

“Gongja Kim is right.”

Fortunately, there was a Hunter who responded to my words.

paladin.

The vigilante deputy guild leader took a step forward.

“It is difficult to understand why the swordsman attacked Gongja Kim.

At least, it is clear that now is not the time to quarrel amongst ourselves.

Everyone is so excited.”

“·················ogue.”

“·················ogue.”

The paladin came to the mediation.

But no one pushed the boundaries.

The swordsman sword, the poison sword, the count sword, and the heretical inquisitor also took a stance so that they could attack the opponent if they did it.

To persuade with just words...

Everyone was distrusting each other.

Because of the emotions that have accumulated over the years.

"Sigh." Realizing that, the paladin let out a sigh.

"good.

I can't help it.

I will sacrifice a little.”

When the word sacrifice came out, the Hunters looked around.

While the gaze was focused, the paladin muttered a little.

“Skill card open.”

Paah! Light came up from the paladin's hand softly.

After a while, a silver card appeared in the air.

A card that no one else can see unless the hunter himself allows it.

It was a skill card possessed by a paladin.

“...the vice-captain.”

The witch looked worried about the paladin.

The top rankers never revealed their skill cards.

The skill is the secret weapon possessed by the hunter.

Showing that to others was the same as an own goal.

"done.

Does not matter." However, the paladin meekly turned the card over.

“Let’s all look carefully.”

+ [Lie Detector] Rank: A- Effect: You can tell if the opponent is lying or not.

This applies not only to humans, but also NPCs and monsters! However, what the other party thought was 'truth' may be objectively 'false'.

is it belief Is it suspicious? The final choice is always up to you.

※However, there is no guarantee that people will believe you.

+ I opened my eyes wide.

'lie detector!' It was a skill that the Flame Emperor once deceived saying that he had it.

indeed.

It wasn't the plague, but the paladin had it.

'It's a skill that suits the vigilante deputy commander so well!' The vigilantes were a guild that maintained security.

Naturally, the tower was overflowing with criminals.

look now Didn't even the No.

1 flame or swordsman kill me in a place without people's eyes? This is the world.

[Lie Detector] will be incredibly useful for detecting criminals.

“As you can see.”

The paladin said while holding the card.

“I have the ability to recognize the lies of others.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the skill that raised me to the rank of deputy guild leader of the vigilante group.

Swordsman.”

“…what is it?”

“As long as you believe in me, ask Gongja Kim anything at this moment.

I will tell you whether Gongja Kim’s answer is false or true.”

The paladin looked at the sword castle and me alternately with a sullen gaze.

“Gongja Kim.

So are you.

If you will believe me, I will assure you whether what you say is true or false.”

“·················ogue.”

“Doubt is the poison that gnaws at us, and truth is the most powerful antidote.

We will not be able to regain the trust we have lost so far, but we will be able to cooperate at least on the 12th floor.”

"Well···." Gumseong stroked his beard and was in trouble.

'Wow.' I also thought to myself.

'Is it Gaejae?' This is the best chance.

It was unexpected luck.

But...

this is correct.

The reason I was suspicious in the first place was because of the skill of the swordsman, the so-called [Detective's Insight].

I got doubts because of my skills, so it makes no sense to use my skills to solve my doubts! “I like it.”

I answered right away.

Whoever accepts this first has an advantage.

“...is it the Lady of the Paladin? You are the only person in this position who has not harmed anyone.

nice I will believe it too.”

The swordsman also shed meaningful words and accepted it.

The paladin nodded his head.

“I consider both of them to be in agreement.

Then swordsman Please ask Gongja Kim.

I will bet on my honor and the reputation of the vigilantes to prove the two people’s questions and answers fairly.”

"Well." The swordsman stared at me.

As if he had only waited for a moment like this, the face of the swordsman was wretched.

Maybe it's the thought that I'm revealing to the world that I'm a terribly bad guy? Anyway, it was a look that was sure of victory.

-Gosh···.

Bae Huo-ryeong sang a song from the side.

- Oh my gosh, Grandpa Marcus.

Old-fashioned youngster.

That's why I'm telling my inspiration and zombies not to rely too much on skills.

Those who make a living with skills will one day be betrayed by skills! oops, oops.

'Please be quiet.' Unfortunately, the voice of Bae Huo-ryeong could not reach the swordsman.

This ghost bastard was now my ghost cub.

“Hunter Gongja Kim.”

"Yes." “You have killed over 4,000 humans.

No, isn’t it?”

Forget! The old man pointed a finger at me with his unholding hand.

What should I say? 'How are you? Now is the time for your evil deeds to be known all over the world!' and seemed to shout.

I smiled.

"Yes." “Oh, look! You evil things in this world.

I will definitely tell the world what you have been doing by using this Ahae as an assassin..." “It is false.”

said the paladin.

"What?" “It is false.”

The paladin said again bluntly.

“Didn’t Gongja Kim answer ‘yes’ to the question you just asked? The answer was false.

In summary, Gongja Kim did not kill more than 4,000 humans.”

“·················ogue.”

“Any more questions?”

silence.

While the swordsman kept his mouth shut, only the paladin tilted his head.

“But 4,000 people.

That's weird.

Can one man kill enough people? I think it would be close to impossible when you think about it with common sense.”

"Well, that's because you guys raised this young man to be a super assassin..." I smiled brightly.

"Yes.

I am a super assassin.”

“It is false.”

“·················ogue.”

The old prosecutor opened his mouth blankly.

“Come on, Lady of the Paladin.

I misunderstood what you are! Even so, I believed that you would mediate everything without lies!”

“It is up to you whether you believe me or not.”

The paladin answered silently.

“To believe, believe.

If you don't believe it, don't believe it.

So, didn't you ask both of them the same from the beginning? Will you really believe me?”

“·················ogue.”

“If you are planning to come and change your words, you are a little timid.

no, it's very cramped swordsman It's not like your usual attitude." “Gee, wait!”

The old man hurriedly looked at me.

"There's no way you wouldn't have killed a single human!" "Ah.

Yes.

That's right.

There have been times when I got rid of other people.”

The paladin nodded his head.

“It is true.”

“Look!”

“But there is only one.”

“What?”

The paladin nodded again.

“It is true.”

“·················ogue.”

“Of course, just because I killed one person doesn't change the fact that I'm a murderer.

But, Swordsman.

Even if I'm not really proud, I can tell you this.

He really deserved to be killed, so he killed him.

Because he tried to kill me first.”

“It is true.”

“No, if you only wanted to kill me, you would be a yangban.

That guy is a slayer.

don't slaughter I've even witnessed her murder scene, and wow, burning people to death without a blink of an eye! That damn bastard!”

“It is true.”

“I don’t know, but he killed dozens of people.

No, there will be well over hundreds.

Yes.

He deserves it.

I killed a worthy guy.

If you want to call me a murderer, you can curse at me.

But do you know that? Even if I go back to the past, I'll start with him.

Wow.

Seed.

How could a human being be as vicious as him?”

The paladin nodded his head slowly.

“It’s all true.”

“·················ogue.”

The swordsman was silent.

The old man slowly looked around.

He looked like he didn't know how the situation was going, but he probably understood the situation a bit by looking around.

Because all the guild leaders were like, '...what are you doing now?' I'm looking at the swordsman with my eyes “Ahahaha! Ahaha!”

The Heretic Inquisitor grabbed his belly button and burst into laughter.

“Gong-Ja Kim Hunter is the top assassin of our 5th guild! That's an interesting idea.

It would have been nice if that was the case, but Swordsman! Unfortunately, we saw Gongja Kim for the first time yesterday!”

“By the way, that’s also true.”

“·················ogue.”

The silence of the swordsman deepened.

- Tsutsutsutsutsu.

Those who prosper with skill, perish with skill.

The commander-in-chief was only biting his tongue.

"Well.

Anyway, I answered everything.”

I laughed haphazardly.

There was nothing really wrong with Confucius' words.

“Maybe there was a big misunderstanding between the two sides.

I'm glad it's just a misunderstanding.

But swordsman.

Anyway, due to that misunderstanding, the swordsman attacked me, and if the guild leaders didn't protect me, there's a fairly high probability that I would have died, right? Really embarrassing.”

“·················ogue.”

“I think we should hear an apology at this point.

How are you?”

The paladin nodded his head.

“That is the complete truth.

It is a theory without a single leap.”

“·················ogue.”

“Apologize to Gongja Kim.

Swordsmanship.”

The soul drained from the look of the old man's face.27.
