The D-Rank Guild Master of the No. 1 Guild-Chapter 25

But why didn't I get a rejection right away.......

In fact, I've been thinking about it for a long time.

The Guild War, which will begin in the second round, had a minimum of 5 players.

But now I have only three companions. If you add me to it, it's four.

If so, you'll need to bring another one.

There are still two days left, but I think it's too late to have an impressive meeting with someone.

Now that the first round is almost over, this may be the only chance to recruit teammates who can make an impact.

He also said that he had come to serve Me with his own mouth, so I thought it would be a good way to highlight My dignity in the future.

After much deliberation, I readily accepted a decision that I would normally have rejected.

"Good."

For a moment, a bright light appeared and disappeared from Carnell's silent face.

"But until the end of the first round, it's time to explore you. I'm going to be cruel and wary of you, so be patient."

"I'm prepared. Thank you for the opportunity."

I can't rule out the possibility that he's going to hit me in the back of the head, so I'm a little nervous.

If you betray me anyway, I think I'll be able to deal with it.

"And you need to show me your status window."

To test Canel, I touched the sensitive parts first.

"But you don't share it with me. You're the only one who needs to show me your status window."

I also lied a bit on purpose.

It took a short pause for Cannell to understand what I was saying.

"I'll accept that."

There is nothing more unfair than that you have to open the entire status window by yourself. We don't know what kind of disadvantage we might do.

But you're going to accept that?

Only to come under my control?

Carnell immediately sent me her status window. As if it wasn't meant in vain.

…… I think he's definitely trying to earn his trust. Let's wait for one more day now.

Then, when I officially accept Canel into our group, I'll let someone else know that I share their status window.

"Also, you can't come into my den yet. Stay outside tonight."

"Understood."

It's the middle of winter outside, and the biting winds are blowing. But Canel followed my word.

“…… Instead, I'll stay awake outside. I'm going to have to listen to you all night. I don't know anything about you."

"It's an honor."

Let's peck at it overnight.

Eventually, he will have the stamina, so that he will be able to notice if there is a nuance to betray him.

By the way, I'll explain the situation to Canal and Lilit first, and then tell them to sleep in the den first.

He was about to go back into the cave, but was immediately blocked by someone's chest.

“…… Rudel."

Canhar must have been hiding behind and listening to Cannell's conversation with me.

He called my name blankly and grabbed my arm.

Even so, the beautiful man in front of me gave a hostile look to the stranger on the other side.

"Don't you like it?"

I drew a gentle arc around my lips as if to soothe him.

If you say no, I'll try to convince you by talking about the second round.

At that moment, Canhar's golden eyes seemed to tremble.

“…… No, it is not. If that's your judgment."

At that moment, Canel, who was behind him, came over and bowed to Canhar.

He was polite, but he wasn't the one Canal was supposed to serve, so he wasn't as stiff as he was to me.

While he was inwardly pleased with Canel's behavior, Canhar just stared at his opponent.

In fact, I don't even say that I'm sorry that I arbitrarily increased the number of people without any discussion.

It's been a while since we've met, and I'm grateful that they follow me wholeheartedly, just like Lilit and Gio.

Maybe I looked pretty trustworthy to Canhar? If so, I'm really glad to be a future guild leader.

Then he turned his head and looked at me with a friendly smile.

"Can I stay by your side instead, Rudel? I'm worried."

I didn't think I should say no, so I nodded my head in agreement.

Canhar, who was immediately next to me, didn't hide his wary attitude and glared stingingly at Carnell.

Is this some kind of slap in the face?

Cannell accepted it calmly, as if it were an ordeal he had to endure.

So I sat down in front of Cannell, Unhar and Gul and listened to how Cannell survived the first round.

* * *

Even though night fell, Aleon didn't check the results of the settlement and only caught the monster.

There were a lot of characters who hadn't received points yet, so I wanted to deal with them as quickly as possible.

He ran around late into the night, finally laying himself down in the depths of the ice castle, on a bed of ice that only he could use.

Just as I was about to fall asleep, a flood of thoughts came flooding my way. What bothered me the most was the low whispering of the characters during the day.

If you kill someone with a Trait, you can take it back......?

"How did such a bizarre thing come about? Killing people for their own abilities, where is such a thunderbolt?'

This kind, newborn character didn't know that people could kill as many others as they wanted for their own benefit.

Aleon was tired and soon fell into a deep sleep.

At the same time, inside the ice castle.

Those who had not yet fallen asleep sneaked into Aleon's bedchamber with their swords in their arms.

Aleon's keen senses awoke quickly to the sensation of another, but he did nothing else.

He didn't expect them to come to him with the wrong intentions.

That's why he didn't shy away from the sight of the many raised blades.

'How, why......?'

The next moment, he was stunned to see the knife slam into his heart.

The intruders, who hadn't expected him to wake up, were taken aback.

"What have I done wrong to you......?"

The blue saint bleed red when he was stabbed.

Aleon covered the rib wound with his hand, his eyes deeply wounded.

As if he had hurt his heart, not his ribs.

When the attempted assassin awoke, the intruders' expressions quickly contorted with fear.

He failed in his attempt to assassinate a great man, and he must pay the price with his life.

But for a moment, they couldn't give up their hopes.

Still, wouldn't this generous and kind saint forgive me if I said that there was a misunderstanding and begged for it?

The moment it became clear that his heart was tender and merciful, Aleon's surroundings were filled with humans who were willing to eat more at all costs.

“…….”

But Aleon was also a man. He, too, was able to be blackened by something that made him as cold ice as cold.

Just like right now.

"I have shared my power with you, but why......!"

As soon as the blue eyes that contained the sea became as turbid as the depths of the sea, the characters with swords squirmed and dropped their weapons.

Should I pray?

We had to do this to survive.

Or should I be more honest and say that I was as jealous of you as I was of your admiration, and that I wanted to take your unique abilities away from me somehow.

That's when one of the characters fell to his knees, squeezed his eyes shut, and let out.

"Murder is rampant in the ice castle!"

Aleon's grip on his fists loosened for a moment.

One character saw the gap and hurriedly teased his mouth more.

"I'm sorry. I sinned because I wanted to live. But it's not just here. Day 12 has just begun, and blood is vibrating in the ice castle. A lot of people are dying."

The blue saint looked even more shocked. It's a mess with no room to go.

"Why......?"

"A rumor has spread. ' If you kill someone with a Trait, you'll gain a Trait." That's the special condition for unlocking Traits."

At this moment, a character rushed to the main entrance of the central chamber of the ice castle. It was in front of Aleon, behind those who knelt.

"Huh, Aleon......?"

His heart stopped when he saw Aleon bleeding, but he told her in a low voice the news he had brought.

"It was a lie! Even those who kill people with unique abilities won't be unlocked! I've killed about five people now, and all five of them haven't been unlocked! It's a rumor!"

After delivering the news, the character rushed in front of Aleon and slammed his head into his knees.

He was quick to grasp the situation.

"Aleon, we've all been deceived! Fair Aleon, please punish the one who spread the rumors! And please forgive us-."

When did Aleon become the judge of the offender?

Those who had been showing their greed to assassinate him just a moment ago suddenly bowed down and begged for their protection.
