Pick Me Up Infinite Gacha! - P.M.U Chapter 213: The First (1) (Part 2)

“Please sit here.”

 

Yurnet pulled out the chair at the head of the table.

 

And she patted the cushion, signaling me to sit.

 

“….”

 

Well, it’s not the first time.

 

I sighed and sat down.

 

“Wait a moment, isn’t that the seat for the lord? How can you….”

 

“Mind your words. This person is Loki, the master of Niflheimr and commander of all civil and military officials.”

 

“What?”

 

Wiryung’s expression changed rapidly.

 

From bewilderment to confusion. From confusion to shock.

 

“Are you… making fun of me?”

 

“Of course not. This is the ruler of Tachunhyang you’ve been searching for.”

 

Yurnet smiled faintly.

 

I clicked my tongue. Did she have to tease her like that?

 

“But he was just a hero of Townia….”

 

“There’s a special circumstance.”

 

From the left corridor of the hall, a young man with a cold impression appeared.

 

It was Ridigion, the third ranker.

 

Given the hasty arrangement, it seemed they could only gather two members from the first party.

 

“You are… Lord Ri!”

 

“Greetings can wait. This is the master’s presence.”

 

Ridgion knelt before me.

 

“Master, it’s an honor to see you again.”

 

“Don’t be so formal. It gives me chills.”

 

Ignoring my words, Ridigion stood up properly.

 

Switching his gaze between me and Ridgion, Wiryung spoke in frustration.

 

“The person I’m looking for is the ruler….”

 

“This person is the ruler of Tachunhyang.”

 

Wiryung’s mouth dropped open.

 

Yurnet whispered in my ear.

 

“Master, Ridigion has a special connection with Muryeon.”

 

“I know that without being told.”

 

About three months ago, I had sent Ridgion to Muryeon.

 

The purpose, of course, was to elevate Ridigion’s swordsmanship to a higher level.

 

Looking at me with bewildered eyes, Wiryung bit her lip tightly and then,

 

“I, Nam Wiryung of Muryeon, have a request to ask from the ruler of Tachunhyang!”

 

Wiryung knelt before me.

 

“Please eliminate that tyrant who broke the peace pact and destroyed our Muryeon!”

 

Wiryung’s forehead touched the ground with a thud that echoed through the hall.

 

“….”

 

I had anticipated this.

 

“Leaving him alone will bring great disaster not only to Tachunhyang but to the entire world. I beg you, ruler, to subdue him and raise the will of all heavens!”

 

“Subdue, huh.”

 

Yurnet muttered.

 

It was an oddly emotionless voice.

 

“Are you asking us to erase the current number one ranker?”

 

“Indeed. He launched a surprise attack on our Muryeon, killing civilians without any declaration of war. He is utterly ruthless….”

 

“Interesting.”

 

Yurnet stepped forward.

 

Her face had turned cold.

 

“Let me handle this.”

 

Ridgion stopped Yurnet.

 

“Raise your head, Lord Wi.”

 

Wiryung lifted her head.

 

Her white forehead was now red.

 

“Explain what happened.”

 

“Alright.”

 

Wiryung stuttered as she described the events of Muryeon’s downfall.

 

While practicing martial arts in the auditorium with her subordinates, a loud noise suddenly erupted, and suspiciously dressed figures stormed in. Their leader killed the martial master Dan Jahm and massacred many Muryeon people.

 

“….”

 

Ridgion closed his eyes.

 

“It’s unfortunate that the master died. He was a remarkable person.”

 

“Indeed. Those people…!”

 

“Master.”

 

Ridgion turned to me.

 

I nodded.

 

He spoke.

 

“Sorry, but we cannot help Muryeon.”

 

“Wh-why not?”

 

“Tachunhyang indeed had a connection with Muryeon. I also learned a lot from there. But we cannot intervene in a situation we do not fully understand. Isn’t that right, Lord Wi?”

 

“That man…!”

 

“What you saw were suspicious people storming in, killing the master, and massacring Muryeon people. That’s all.”

 

Ridigion continued.

 

“The Golden Village is a place even we rarely see. Are you asking us to risk everything to avenge your anger?”

 

“….”

 

“Calm your mind first.”

 

“Lord Ri, how can you say that! Master respected you so much…!”

 

“Nisled.”

 

At Yurnet’s brief command, a black figure descended from the ceiling.

 

“Escort her to his room.”

 

“Yes.”

 

Nisled took the seated Wiryung away.

 

The hall became silent.

 

“Master.”

 

Yurnet spoke.

 

“I’m thinking.”

 

Ridgion’s words were not wrong.

 

Wiryung’s testimony did not explain why Muryeon was attacked.

 

If Niflheimr was involved, we’d have to take action, but we couldn’t know the situation now.

 

One major question remained.

 

‘Muryeon and Dorado are from different servers.’

 

They belonged to servers 3 and 4, respectively.

 

Without a cross-server event, it was impossible to interact with users from other servers.

 

‘Mobius is a mess.’

 

Until recently, it was known for being bug-free with great servers, but the evaluation changed dramatically.

 

The various communities were in an uproar about the chaos.

 

‘What is he thinking?’

 

El Cid was not a PvP user.

 

He was similar to me, or even more of a hardcore strategy enthusiast than I was.

 

Did Muryeon provoke him first?

 

That seemed unlikely. Muryeon also refrained from PvP.

 

‘Of all times, something like this happening now.’

 

Normally, I would leave it to Yurnet, but not this time.

 

At least, I needed to understand what happened. Depending on the situation, El Cid might interfere with Niflheimr.

 

“Yurnet.”

 

“Yes, I will investigate.”

 

Yurnet bowed to me and disappeared behind the hall.

 

Only Ridgion and I remained.

 

“….”

 

Ridgion seemed deep in thought.

 

He might be reconsidering Wiryung’s testimony or thinking about Dan Jahm, whom he had a master-disciple relationship with.

 

He had changed significantly before and after his dispatch. He was already strong, but I felt Ridigion truly became a hero after returning from Muryeon.

 

‘He earned the title of Sword Demon from Muryeon, too.’

 

Perhaps, our stay in Niflheimr would be more than a day or two.

 

I quietly left the hall, leaving Ridgion alone.
