The Status Window Disappeared

Status window disappeared (2)

The dead player’s face was stained with astonishment. He probably didn’t know why until the moment he died.

Chris didn’t care about the player’s expression, he just looked back at his brief fight with him.

Canceling the active skill and casting another skill is a technique that is often used… … .

The opponent didn’t look seasoned enough to use it here. It must be true that he really couldn’t use his skills.

However, his vocalization was quite clear and precise.

Since it wasn’t a separate hit, there was no reason for the active skill to stop.

Chris retrieved the dagger from his corpse and saw the blood on it.

‘It’s not just that I couldn’t use my skills. This guy, like me, hasn’t been calibrated in the game system at all.’

There are several ways to cancel a skill, but there is no way to disable the game system.

At least as far as Chris knew.

It’s obviously a strange thing, but there’s no conclusion right now.

Chris put his thoughts aside and rummaged through the player’s corpse to collect the loot.

The equipment the corpse was wearing was generally of good quality.

In addition, due to its nature, players are always wearing equipment with interpretation spells.

Since this guy is an idiot, the rest of the equipment wasn’t much to look at… Even if you sell this, you don’t have to worry about money for the time being.

That’s all. A whitish cloud of dust was rising not far away.

In the surrounding area, mercenaries must be driving and catching lost horses. Usually, these trophies fall exclusively to the mercenary.

If you sold all of those horses, it would be a lot of money.

The mercenaries who finished collecting the loot soon gathered in one place and began to infer who was behind the raid.

“Looking at the player, I don’t think he was just out for a walk… … .”

“Did you come here to give him some real combat experience?”

“Ah, no matter how good it may be, I wouldn’t use a good guild for such a thing. If that was the case, there would be no reason to use expensive cavalry.”

“then… … .”

Chris and the mercenary captain exchanged glances for a while before going to the person in charge of the upper ranks.

He’s already trembling, wondering if there’s something poking around.

Sang Sang-joo tried to manage his expression as he was a merchant, but he could get his throat cut by pretending to be polite in front of the mercenaries who were angry at the loss of a colleague.

“I-Thank you so much for stopping me this time too… … .”

“Why did they come all of a sudden? Are you moving something weird?”

The mercenary commander grinds his teeth and asks the merchant.

From what they had heard, there was absolutely no reason for regular troops from other countries to raid this route up.

Sang Sangju was sweating profusely and tried to give a meaningless reply.

“I’m not sure about that either.”

Power went into the hands of the mercenary captain standing in front of him.

It’s not uncommon for pissed-off mercenaries to kill their clients and trick them into doing what the bandits did.

Of course, that usually ends in beheading… That fact does not temper the mercenaries’ anger.

Sang Sang-joo hesitated for a while, then gave up everything and got off the carriage.

He entered the hold in front of the mercenaries with their ax eyes open. Then, he took out a box that was kept inside.

“I’m not sure either, but it’s probably because of this.”

“What is this… … .”

The small wooden box was a box that could be seen everywhere without any special features.

The mercenary commander, who held it up and opened it, was startled by the brilliance leaking from the inside.

Chris, who was next to me, reached in and pulled out a crystal the size of a fist.

The crystal, transparent enough to see through, was cut into a hexagon.

What the upper lord was secretly carrying was a crystal full of magical power.

It was something that could only be used for a player summoning spell.

It is natural for the mercenary commander to have tendons on his forehead after learning his true identity.

“No, I heard you only sell grain and iron? If you were moving something like this, you should have hired additional mercenaries!”

Can there be the same escort for the steel-selling inbound and the diamond-selling inbound?

Sangjuju trembled in front of the angry mercenaries.

“I… I was forced to take on this too! He said he would cut off the deal if I didn’t bring him this trip.”

The mercenaries thought he was talking bullsh*t, but Chris calmed them down.

From his point of view, the top lord’s words made sense.

Crystals used for player summoning spells are very important strategic items.

For this reason, it is directly managed by the government of each country. It is not something that can be obtained by ordinary merchants.

And in Chris’s view, the top lord was a person who fell well into the category of ‘ordinary trader’.

Perhaps someone else did the asking for the item, and the owner of the upper house would just move it.

Of course, whether or not the merchant was threatened was not something the mercenaries cared about.

After discussing with Chris, the mercenary captain made a request to the top lord.

“We are leaving the next city. And make sure you get enough extra pay.”

“No, if you do that now, how will we… … .”

“Well, we don’t know. If the player over there had been a sane guy, the ship would have died more than now?”

In the end, the upper state was forced to reluctantly accept their terms.

Since it was already under attack, the upper ranks ran all night to the next city.

The raiders lost a valuable player, so I couldn’t see them retreating like this.

Chris led the way on horseback and played the role of skirmisher. And the sky he looked at was already dyed black.

Suddenly, a meteor shower fell from the night sky.

It was a rare sight to see so many meteors falling down with their light shining, but it didn’t seem like a very good sign.

Others also stop for a moment and watch the meteor shower.

The skirmisher next to Chris muttered nervously.

“They say that when the stars fall like that, disasters happen… … .”

“Don’t say anything stupid. let’s hurry. I don’t know when those bastards will come in again.”

Was it because there were signs of anxiety? The mercenary commander was busy urging the party.

Thanks to this, they were able to enter the city early in the morning.

Contrary to the enthusiasm and bustle of the morning in the city, the mood of the upper house was stagnant.

Having reached a safe place, the merchants could not ignore the fiery gazes of the mercenaries.

In the end, he paid the mercenaries extra wages with tears of blood.

After Chris parted ways with the upper ranks, he followed the mercenaries.

The mercenary commander, who had sold the horses obtained as loot, handed him a thick money bag.

“Now, it is yours. You did a really good job this time.”

As a mere mercenary, he was given a very large percentage, but he only had jealous eyes. There was no protest.

It was thanks to the fact that he took the lead in confronting the player the other day.

The mercenary commander seemed to appreciate Chris’ courage and skill, and asked him once again.

“What are you going to do now? If you don’t have anything to do, why don’t you look for work with us?”

“I’m sorry, but I have business… See you next time.”

“okay? Then there is nothing you can do Please be safe.”

The mercenary commander sent Chris away with a slight pain.

Tired of nightmares, battles, and reconnaissance, Chris went straight to the inn. It wasn’t that there were few inns in the city, but you couldn’t enter any of them.

Because the stables were full, I didn’t want to go through the trouble of finding another place.

Chris soon found a suitable inn and walked to the stable.

And at the inn, he faced the boy who was in charge of the stable keeper, and he did not forget to say a few words before handing over his horse.

“Feed properly and let it rest. Otherwise I’ll throw you in the trough. Got it?”

The weak-looking boy glanced sideways at Chris’s longsword and nodded several times.

It was not very dignified to scare a child.

However, the state of his beloved horse was far more important than his own dignity and the stable keeper’s mood.

To put it mildly, the tribes in charge of the important role of stable keeper did not listen at all.

After a rough wash in the backyard, Chris entered the inn and relaxed a little at the familiar smell.

The question from earlier still lingers in his mind as he orders chicken and beer before he knows it.

The player who suddenly lost the game system, as well as the meteor shower earlier, were very unusual.

Of course, you can say what a big deal a few meteors fall, but this is a world where magic and miracles exist.

Even superstitions among mercenaries cannot be taken lightly.

Chris decided to discuss this with the other players.

He wasn’t a very sociable person, but luckily he has reliable acquaintances in the city.

The moment he was thinking about when he should visit her.

The other side first opened the inn door and appeared in front of him.

The people inside the inn were a little surprised to see the new guest.

Unlike Chris, who managed to get along well with people, she was never the right person for this place.

A well-groomed appearance and aristocratic outfit catch the attention of others.

“Chris, you are here. I came to see you when I heard that you had just arrived.”

“Luna-sama?”

Chris was also surprised by her appearance.

Even though I was thinking of her, she was not the kind of person to visit this place directly.

A guild, a group of players who are the strongest players in this world.

Among those guilds, she was the head of one with considerable power.

She was regarded as a high-ranking noble in the city, and was treated as such.

Why did a person with a bunch of attendants worthy of sending to Chris come all the way here himself?

When Chris got up involuntarily, she took him out with a look of some sort of urgency.

He was slightly taken aback, but followed her without a word.

Luana is someone you can trust.

When he was imprisoned in the dungeon of the kingdom that summoned him earlier, it was Luana who secretly escaped him.

She acted to protect the powerless players in this world and prevent the atrocities of the powerful players.

Other players other than Chris would follow without hesitation if Luana called her.

Her credibility and popularity were unrivaled.

She went inside the carriage she had been riding in and belatedly apologized.

“I’m sorry for bringing you all of a sudden. But it’s really urgent… … .”

“are you okay. What is it?”

Chris was more curious than annoyed.

Why did she, the head of a huge guild, come to find her so eagerly?

She has about a truckload of faithful players under her command.

Although their individual strength is relatively weak, since they are still players, they are capable of easily dealing with a country’s army.

After hesitating for a moment, Luana slightly lowered her head.

“I can’t speak here. Will you follow us to our headquarters?”

“Does it come with rice too?”

Asked by Chris, who remembered the chicken dish that was supposed to be left on the table at the inn, Luana smiled and nodded.

He leaned back against the carriage and looked out on the road to the guild headquarters.
