64. [Night Soul] Actually, This Works Out Well? (1)
Bewilderment.
Along with it, a voice tinged with astonishment echoed through the hall.
“A knight…? Not a barbarian?”
Haha, that’s hilarious.
-???: This kind of thing… a modern person..?
Yeah but there’s definitely some vibes that a civilized person wouldn’t give off, ngl
-It’s a reasonable suspicion, but they’re just flatly calling him a barbarian lolol
“If people are calling him a barbarian instead of a knight, that shows how uncivilized they think he is lol”
A barbarian.
It wasn’t difficult to infer that they viewed me as a savage race far removed from civilization.
Beneath the crystalline voice echoing through the hall lay unmistakable doubt and faint—yet palpable—contempt.
Whoosh.
In one corner of the Grand Conference Hall’s round table, an elf woman wearing a deep green robe pulled low over her head furrowed her brow slightly.
“Even during the reign of the previous king, knights were never considered particularly intelligent, but have they truly fallen to such a degree?”
Despite the clear tone and bell-like crystalline quality of her voice, every word dripped with revulsion.
“Rather than a knight, they appear far closer to a true savage, I must say.”
The same sentiment.
Clang.
“Ha. I concur. If ‘the one who reclaims the light’ refers to such a madman, then I am sorely disappointed.”
A blue-haired man clad in brilliant silver armor emblazoned with an ornate crest across his chest crossed his arms and let out a scoff.
“Heh. Then again, they say a knighthood was conferred upon someone without even a family name, let alone a title or lands… so it’s only natural?”
He muttered words dripping with elitism, then withdrew his gaze entirely as if he wouldn’t deign to look further.
“Indeed, someone of my standing—bearing a family name—is hardly on the same level as this. Though I did anticipate as much.”
“….”
-?;
-What’s with the elitism;
-This bastard..?
-Kanpre didn’t seem to like the first impression, but what’s with this guy just praising himself;
-Hmm.. but I’ve never seen either of them during the actual clear runs, are they really doing something..?;
But.
Whoosh.
Joo Seo-jin cast a cold glance sideways, offered no response, and continued with what I had to say.
“So, what about the disposition and purchase of the spoils?”
“….”
Hartan, seated at the head of the table and observing the situation, pressed his forehead with one hand and replied irritably.
“Ugh. Damn it. Why don’t you just stop calling them spoils and ask for payment like a bounty hunter, huh?”
“Your conclusion?”
“…I’ll take them. I’ll handle the disposition, so just sit down. We have mountains of matters to discuss.”
“Very well then.”
Hartan rubbed the back of his neck with one hand, continuing as if troubled by a headache.
“First, since you haven’t seen these faces before, let me introduce them. Those are the newly recruited bishops, and the high elf’s name is Airen, and the knight is—”
“Parcel.”
Before he could finish, a forceful, grandiose tone cut in abruptly.
“The heir to the Fraise Family—a knight house that has sworn loyalty to the previous king since ancient times and has long been renowned for its valor.”
Parcel completed his introduction with a flourish, then offered a satisfied, subtle smile.
“However, I am also a knight in my own right. You may address me as Sir Parcel.”
“…Well, roughly as he said. To put it plainly, he’s the heir to the Fraise Family and a proper knight.”
Hartan shrugged and brushed past it casually, continuing on.
“Anyway, moving to the main point—shall I explain why we recruited these two as new bishops?”
“?”
“Recently, we concluded that all the bishops who went missing, save for one, have died.”
“….”
“Simple, right?”
It’s not that simple lol
-Out of nowhere they’re announcing deaths;
That’s ridiculous lol
-Hmm.. we clear one field boss and come back to find most of the executives dead..? What is this..
“That’s rock bottom lol”
Though no particular details were explained, the understanding came immediately.
Of course it would.
If key figures within the Church had died en masse while defeating the Necromancer’s Tower Lord, personnel replacement was inevitable.
Though the details remained unclear, they would have had no choice but to seek elements capable of filling that void.
“However, unlike the bishops who were already here, these are cooperative relationships bound by conditions, and as the existing operations have been disrupted, a slight problem has emerged.”
Hartan’s tone was flat, as if discussing a trivial matter, but what followed was anything but.
Whoosh.
“The Solar Sect has apparently stolen the soul of a knight we had secured on our end.”
Unfortunately.
***
The Soul of a Knight.
Within [Night Soul], it was the most critical element that formed the backbone of the main story.
Every stage progression in the game, regardless of side quests, ultimately served the purpose of collecting the Souls of Knights.
In other words.
“It appears the Solar Sect has stolen the Soul of a Knight that we had secured on our side.”
-?
-Are you serious?
Lol fuck haha
-So it’s not just a minor problem—it’s completely catastrophic, right?
-I thought it was nothing serious the way you said it so casually, but this is actually pretty dire..?
In short, the news meant we had taken one step closer to the bad ending of [Night Soul].
Perhaps that’s why?
-So the Solar Sect did it?
-The Church of Jesus Christ hahahahahaha
Yeah, it’s literally wide open, so you’re not wrong lol
How could you just hand over the knight’s soul that you had to risk your life to protect in just that brief moment..?
Either there’s an insider, or it doesn’t make any sense; for real.
The chat erupted with bewildered reactions.
“What is this, honestly? Our apartment security guard seems like he’d have better security than these guys…”
Man, the apartment security guard’s security is a joke, seriously???????????
You’re saying I should be competing with Baduk and Ham, the dogs at grandma’s house, not with the apartment security guard?
I can’t provide a reliable translation of this text. It appears to contain informal internet slang, unclear references, and possibly corrupted or incomplete Korean characters that make it difficult to determine the intended meaning with confidence.
This appears to be keyboard mashing or gibberish rather than actual Korean text, so there is no meaningful translation to provide.
I can’t provide a reliable translation for this text. It contains heavy internet slang, corrupted characters, and unclear references that don’t form coherent Korean. The text appears to be fragmented internet speak that would be difficult to translate accurately into natural English.
It was a situation so bewildering that it had crossed into the realm of absurdity.
= Wow… I’m not sure whether to call this impressive or just ridiculous?
Joo Seo-yoon, sitting beside me, let out a similar exclamation of disbelief.
= How on earth has such an incompetent rabble managed to survive this long…?
= ….
Unanimous agreement.
With not a single dissenting voice about them being a disorganized mob, I could fully grasp the gravity of the situation.
After assessing the crisis, I furrowed my brow and muttered calmly.
“We’re essentially on the brink of total annihilation, or close to it.”
Hartan, without much thought, responded with a slight frown.
“Heh. Well, you’re not wrong, but if the situation weren’t completely unsalvageable, we wouldn’t even be discussing it, right? I’m not an idiot, and I wouldn’t be sitting here relaxed without a plan-”
“Hmm. I thought that might be the case, but it’s surprising that it isn’t.”
“….”
“So, what exactly is this plan of yours?”
Hartan clicked his tongue and placed his hand on the round table before answering.
“…Tsk. We’ve discovered where the Soul of the Knight has been moved to, so we just need to reclaim it. It’s not even that far away, either.”
Tap, tap.
As Hartan’s fingers drummed against the round table, his lips moved in sync.
“Elern’s Seal Temple—there’s an outpost located in the outer territories. It seems they’ve moved it there.”
Hartan continued, his brow furrowing slightly.
“They’re probably using it as a waypoint before returning to their main headquarters, but there’s a good chance they’ll stay in one place for a while. So—”
“In other words, all I need to do is extract the knight’s soul from Elern’s Seal Temple.”
“Simply put, yes. That would suffice. The problem is, there’s a complication.”
“?”
Hartan rubbed the back of his neck with one hand, adding with a troubled expression.
“Only a saint—or someone who has regained the light that resonates with the knight’s soul itself—can transport the knight’s soul without side effects or loss of integrity.”
Joo Seo-jin nodded, understanding what that meant.
“Since we can’t wage an all-out war, we’ll need to form an infiltration team to extract the knight’s soul. Which means—”
“…In other words, me going is the most seamless solution, isn’t it?”
“Precisely.”
…
-‘Just do it’
-They’re literally forcing me to play taxi driver, for real??;
-Is this… supposed to be a plan…?
-I’m starting to understand why these guys don’t get much screen time unless it’s a hidden route..
-Entering the hidden route is already brutal enough, but having to ferry these bastards around the entire story..?
-Seriously;;;
-Noooo ahhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!
-The hidden route feels more like a horror game than the main story?;
I was left speechless by this absurd solution, but only for a moment.
Scrape—
Parcel, who had remained silent throughout the conversation, made his presence known and spoke in a languid tone.
“Hmph. Even so, there’s no need to worry so greatly. Don’t be afraid.”
“?”
“To begin with, you have no role to play. All the fighting at the front will fall to me.”
“What?”
For a moment, bewilderment erupted at words I hadn’t anticipated, but he didn’t stop.
“Don’t be mistaken—one who has regained the light is merely a vessel. A means to transport the knight’s soul, so it matters not which.”
Parcel let out a scoff, speaking with unbridled arrogance.
“The elf and I are sufficient to take the field. You and the woman behind you need only follow orders in silence. And while you’re at it, attend to my needs as well.”
Chuckle.
“If you devote yourself entirely to serving me, I’m even inclined to take you as a retainer… So if you wish to learn even a thing or two, don’t miss this opportunity.”
“An opportunity?”
“Indeed. After all, the reason I joined my Church was none other than to be recognized as the successor to Lord Halkenburg. How could becoming my retainer not be an opportunity?”
…
-LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-Dude… every single word out of his mouth is pure gold dialogue??????
-I knew something was off from the start when he kept posing and twisting his whole body to praise himself, but this is legendary..
-It’s so absurd I can’t even tell where it all went wrong, lmaooooooooo
-Each of his moves is definitely not normal.. ;;;
It wasn’t just a headache anymore—it was a dizzying cascade of words that made my mind reel.
Ssshhh—.
Parcel tilted his head back, then glanced sideways at Joo Seo-jin with a look of disdain.
“If you harbor any doubts, I could demonstrate the difference in our power right here and now. Of course, in that case, I’d also take the opportunity to teach you some manners.”
And then.
“Unfortunately, I’m not fond of those who behave rudely. I intend to teach you the basics of hierarchy—until you’re crying and begging for mercy.”
“Hmm.”
“So it would be wise to think carefully before you act. After all, I’ve been granted permission for this level of discipline and appointed to the position of Bishop. Regardless of who it is, as long as I don’t kill them, it’s acceptable.”
“Exactly.”
Joo Seo-jin rose slowly, his expression blank, nodding.
“That means my conditions are similar, then.”
“What?”
“I got the gist of it, and honestly? Not bad. I don’t particularly enjoy rudeness either, you see.”
“…Ha. That makes no sense. What are you even—”
“There’s a reason the saying ‘seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times’ exists.”
Ssshhh———.
Adopting a stance that felt oddly familiar somehow.
“You’ll understand what I mean soon enough.”
-Translation: I’ll make you regret ever being born into this world (no distortion)
– Okay
I cannot provide a reliable translation for this text. It appears to be incomplete, corrupted, or contains non-standard characters that don’t form coherent Korean words.
-ㄴㅇㅈㄹ hahahahahahahahahahaha
It’s not that there’s no distortion, it’s that there’s only distortion, lol.
