From Player To Npc

Chapter 211: End of meeting

Now that people had somewhat trusted Shingi, they were focusing more on what he had to say.

Shingi told them he would speak only with the Leaders or Vice Leaders, as it was important to keep the plan in a closed circle.

In the end, in the room, there were Shingi, Marcy, Quick Thunder, Shiny Knight, Cheap Devil, and three more people who were the Vice Leaders of their Guilds.

Those three Guilds weren't as powerful as Quick Thunder's or Shiny Knight's Guilds, and they seemed to have been created while Ameanum was inactive. But they were people that Shingi actually recognized, as they were people he had helped in the past to get through the Tower's floors, similar to what he had done with Price.

"So who exactly are the ones behind them? It sounds like it is someone big." [Shiny Knight]

She seemed excited to learn who Shingi was referring to as being behind the Dark Guild, as she had seen them in action. They even defeated Cheap Devil, who was at the top among the Blessed Ones since the beginning.

"I know it will sound crazy, but the people behind them seem to be Enerias World." [Shingi]

There were a few gasps, as this was an unexpected name to be mentioned.

"Why would they sabotage their own game?" [Shiny Knight]

"You mean why the New Gods would try to have an effect like that against the Blessed Ones?" [Marcy]

It confused everyone why Marcy tried to change the way of what Shiny Knight said. The only reason she would do that would be if they were speaking with an NPC, as they didn't know that this is a game. But all of them here were Players.

"My Master had mentioned that you are referring to this world as a game sometimes. Strange, but I have seen more strange things since I had met him. You probably haven't noticed, but I am not a Blessed One like you all." [Shingi]

Shingi still wanted to keep the act of him being an NPC, as he hadn't told the truth to Marcy yet. Also, it would have a greater impact on them for him to be a powerful young NPC than a powerful young Blessed One.

And it truly seemed to have the effect he expected, as they truly thought that he was a Blessed One by the way he acted and dressed. He was an advisor to the Guild, and even if they couldn't see his full face because of the mask, they could tell that he was quite young. They had also researched the town and knew of him and his shop, but there weren't any about him being that good with the sword, but there was the one showing off his Arcane Abilities.

The rumors also weren't clear if he was a Blessed One or an NPC, but most people considered him a Blessed One.

That was also why Quick Thunder was going for the kill since if he was a Blessed One, he would just get respawn. If he knew that he wasn't, he would be that aggressive. Fortunately, Shingi handled it in the end.

"As I was saying, it may sound crazy, but I am confident that they are backing up Dark Guild. I mean, think about that. Who else could give them that much power? And why they have done nothing about them?" [Shingi]

The more they thought about it, the more it made sense. They truly had too much power, and even if it sounded improbable, if Enerias World backed them up, having that much power made sense.

"So we can do nothing. They have control over everything why we are limited to what we can do." [Shiny Knight]

Everyone nodded, as it was truly an impossible opponent to defeat.

"But that isn't true. They have control over you and me, but they can't control everything. Some people had broken free of their control." [Shingi]

"You talk about the Protectors, don't you?" [Cheap Devil]

Everyone here was aware of who the protectors were, even if they never encountered them. It was important to know the history of the world as it was an important factor in some Quests.

"They are an example, but there are others. I have found one who may be even more powerful than them and will help us. At least on fighting those people." [Shingi]

Shingi then started telling them everything he knew about Mikhail, as well as the new pieces of information he had learned through the book. However, he didn't mention Nivlek or that Garry worked for him in the past. Even if he wanted to work with Mikhail against a common enemy possibly, that didn't make him an ally.

He even told them where his headquarters was supposed to be in the Tower, but they couldn't get in the Tower, so this information was useless.

"So then, what is the plan? If that person is in the Tower, we can't communicate with him. Or do you have a way to draw him out?" [Quick Thunder]

"We have people in. I am going to join them soon, but this is where I need your help."[Shingi]

Everyone's attention was drawn once again to what he would say as if there was a safe way to get in the Tower they wanted to know it themselves.

"You should all be aware of the nearby Dungeon. There seems to be a connection between it and the Tower, and I am confident we can use this connection to get me there. But it is going to need lots of effort and power." [Shingi]

Everyone smiled at this because if there was one thing they excelled at was those two things. They couldn't defeat the Dark Guild because they were using a cheat way. But, on the other hand, they were the strongest ones among the Blessed Ones and even among the entire Realm in the case of Cheap Devil.

"I think we should focus on taking more than just you. You are strong, but you are going to need as much help as you can in there." [One of the three Vice Leaders]

Shingi could tell that they just wanted to get in the Tower for personal reasons and not so much to help. The resources found in some of the Tower's floors were something that you couldn't find outside of it, so those Guild have gotten weaker over the years from lack of those resources.

"I agree, but I can't bring anybody here with me." [Shingi]

The response confused and angered some, but Shingi quickly explained.

"All of you are too high level. The strongest one will be, the harder will be to get them there. In my case, it may be very hard, but for one of you, it is impossible. I can agree, though, to bring another representative of yours, he can't be over the first Evolution Level." [Shingi]

What he said should be true, even if he hadn't tried his plan, but he also knew that they wouldn't just work with him if he didn't allow them to get a person with them. He could put a limit, though.

"How much time do we have?" [Shiny Knight]

"I will say we should progress in at least two weeks. The sooner we do so, the best." [Shingi]

This was the time he had calculated it would take his students to reach the next town. He was planning to use the same room that seemed to be connected to the maze. Using any other would be too dangerous, as he wouldn't know what to expect.

He also counted the time he would need himself to go through the Tower's floors to catch with them.

"Then the Storm Guild will take this slot. Unless someone disagrees." [Quick Thunder]

Shiny Knight looked towards him with eyes throwing daggers at him, but she said nothing. The only one who could disagree with him would be Cheap Devil, but he had no reason to do so.

"We actually have the person we want to send with us here. So I guess we just need to focus on helping you to get yourself there." [Quick Thunder]

Shingi was confused as he checked all the people's aura and was confident that everyone had passed the first evolutions state.

"Excuse me, but that members of yours. Where was he during the meeting?" [Shingi]

That question confused most, and some hoped that Shingi had a reason to deny that person to travel with him. Also, Quick Thunder seemed to be somewhat amazed by that question.

"He wasn't one of the people in the meeting. It seems your senses are better than I assumed since you could tell that all of them were past the 1st Evolution State. I actually had him help to keep people out. He is one of our recruits, but he is good with people and has brilliant talent even if he hasn't been part of this world for a long time. He goes by the name White Biscuit" [Quick Thunder]

Shingi didn't expect to have the chance to get that person to travel with him.

It seemed he would have their conversation sooner than he thought.
