The Newbie Is Too Strong's
71. Lalania Empire Rebel Assassination Mission (1)
“So, what about those rumors? Is that true?” the guild captain of the swordsmen, Visgore was sitting at his desk staring at a void as he asked.
Suddenly the drinking friend Blanche showed her form of emptiness and then gave her report, “It was confirmed. It is true that the assassin who attacked Luca was ruled by one of your extra guild captains, the captain of the second rank extra guild, Dawn, who is under the auspices of your swordsmen guild, Player Justice Sword.”
Hearing the message conveyed by the informant, the corner of Visgore's lips turned disgusted. He then continued his question, “Lantas, what about the other rumor?”
“It...” Looks at first, the informant who is none other than Blanche's previous drinking friend is a bit hesitant to submit his report. However, when the guild captain insisted, he hesitantly spoke,
“That seems right, seeing the strange things that happened to the Bourbon player who had changed his name to Jack The Zipper. But is that possible, Captain? A curse that even affects the laws of the world?”
Visgore laughed wryly at his informer's comment, but a moment later, his expression became solemn.
“Have you heard the term main character, Izolda?”
“What is it, Captain?”
“A person who is separated from the laws of the world even until protected by the world itself. The world is even willing to form absurd laws just to protect him one.”
Izolda seemed a little jolted at the captain's ridiculous remark. But a moment later, he immediately corrected his expression and then commented with a look of disinterest, “If there is such a person, it must be very terrible, Captain.”
“Ya, what a very terrible existence.”

Elsewhere, Justice Sword, the leader of the extra Dawn guild who was under the auspices of the main swordsmen guild, was sitting at the table behind his room devoted to the guild leader restlessly.
“How, how can they connect the strange curse that happened to Bourbon with me? Why did they find out that I was the one who told him to make the boy's PK? Did Bourbon betray me? After all, why were those NPC guild assassins so adamant about investigating him just because a player was attacked? Was there previously this kind of treatment aimed at NPCs only for a meaningless player?!”
Justice Sword was unable to contain his frustration from the quest recently issued by the assassin guild in search of someone who had been Luca's assault mastermind before.
It was not the death penalty he feared the most. After all, if he dies, the player will only go down one level and suffer a penalty ban from playing the game for 24 hours. It was quite troublesome to level up when his level was already high, but it was not at the level of something too bad for him either.
But it is different with the image of the company that labels it. The purpose of Justice Sword forming an extra guild is nothing but to build a fame that will later be useful to build his company's fame in the real world because the better the company's label image in the game vrmmorpg, the better the government support for the company, both in terms of funding assistance, and the chance to win the project.
Justice Sword could not fumble in this matter. He is the second heir in the line of inheritance, the second son of a well-known company owner in Jakarta. If until his guild fell into the rumors, this would definitely be an easy target for his fellow heir-to-be brothers to take him down from his position.
“How is this? What am I supposed to do? Justice Sword was also dissolved in confusion.
However, just as the acidic liquid was set on his wounded skin, the notification from the swordsmen's main guild arrived at him.
...+++...
...NOTICES...
...WITH ALL HUMILITY, THE SWORDSMEN MAIN GUILD STARTED DATED TODAY, REVOKING THE DAWN GUILD AS AN EXTRA GUILD UNDER OUR AUSPICES...
...PLEASE THE FORMER GUILD RETURN ALL ATTRIBUTES RELATED TO THE MAIN GUILD...
...+++...
Unexpectedly, the main guild of swordsmen severed unilaterally the extra guild Dawn from their family ties.

Meanwhile, the boy who accidentally causes chaos in the extra Dawn guild, is carrying out his mission with his pet, Aura.
The day before, Luca had asked Aura to investigate in advance about the political shocks currently occurring in the Lalania Empire as she increased her toxic immunity with Krimson, before the two of them decide whether to accept this mission or not.
It was not that Luca did not believe in the information network owned by his uncle and guild. Merely, the royal lords in Luca's eyes were full of deceit and deception to the point that Luca had been nauseous dealing directly with them.
There is a possibility, some parts of the information they managed to cover up for their benefit. Luca does not want to be wrong in taking steps that actually make people who are on the side of the truth suffer from the results of his mistaken decision. Because for Luca, the indigenous people who live on the continent where he lives are not just mere NPCs, but people who really live real who have their own ideals and desires.
The mission given by his guild this time was the mission of killing five blacklisted people who became important people of Other organization who he said fought for the benefit of the common people who had been oppressed by the rules the ridiculous caste set by the nobles.

But based on Aura's report, their struggle against the common people was only a mere false cover. In fact, to fund their organization, they open prostitution businesses, sell drugs to the younger generation, make loan sharks with interest that is out of bounds, launder money, cheat, and, even to the point of selling children or adults who cannot afford to pay their debts as slaves.
What makes their actions to date unknown to the locals is that they are doing a lot of action in the Kingdom of Melodia, their neighboring countries, as well as some areas in the far periphery of the empire.
But it was still strange according to Luca because for almost 3 years they acted, not a single citizen could sniff out the bad rumors about them, he said, unless there is a higher party who becomes their back-up, hide carefully their foul actions. This is what Luca is currently investigating.
Bingo dang! Luca actually managed to find the third party.
Unfortunately, when Luca searched for traces of the back-up last night, apparently the party concerned assisted by dark mage so that the trail was completely covered. That was why last night, Luca finally decided that Aura level up first by exterminating the zombies on the outskirts of the empire bordering the land of death, while he continued his surveillance.
And here comes Luca the next night with Aura, his pet, according to the time of the earth. The aura had leveled up from level 4 to level 25. Really fast level up. That was natural because if categorized, Aura was a kind of beast that did raise its level faster than humans.
They were currently, waiting for the informant to once again come to see the Other. But it is said that the informant is also wrong because the one who comes is always just an ordinary human being who is a victim of brainwashing the mysterious dark mage, doing his orders without the person himself knowing.
