Soo Hyuk thought while looking at Yeon Jeung who asked not to be surprised.

‘What did he say…’

What the hell is he talking about? Don’t be surprised?

While he was curious, a whisper arrived from Yeon Jeung.

-Yeon Jeung: The decision about the representative guild will be announced today.

Soo Hyuk was surprised by Yeon Jeung’s whisper.

-Soo Hyuk: He will make the announcement today?

The Marquis said that he would be giving away the Representative Guild position of Beyond to the Reader Guild.

However, Soo Hyuk thought that it would take a few days at the earliest.

-Yeon Jeung: Yes. We will become the representative guild today.

-Yeon Jeung: He was strangely kind and polite.

He went on.

-Yeon Jeung: Maybe it’s because of you.

‘?’

-Soo Hyuk: It’s because of me?

-Yeon Jeung: He talked a lot about what you hate and like. Maybe half of the time he was talking about you?

-Soo Hyuk: Really?

-Yeon Jeung: Uh, what position do you have at the Poison Tower? The Marquis really cares about that.

Soo Hyuk though about Yeon Jeung’s question.

‘Can I tell him?’

Can he tell him that he has become the heir to the Lord of Poison Tower?

‘Yeah, it’s Yeon Jeung.’

After thinking about it, Soo Hyuk sent an answer.

-Soo Hyuk: He said that I am the heir of the Poison Tower Lord.

-Yeon Jeun: The next Lord?

As soon as the whisper went through, a question came from Yeon Jeung.

-Soo Hyuk: Yes, the next Lord.

-Yeon Jeung: Do you know the next Lord of the Poison Tower?

-Soo Hyuk: Uh.

-Yeon Jeung: You are the next Lord of the Poison Tower? You?

Yeon Jeung continued to ask questions as if he couldn’t believe it.

-Soo Hyuk: Yes, that’s right.

-Yeon Jeung: How?

-Soo Hyuk: I don’t know. Is it because I am the disciple of the Poison Tower Lord Pavian?

He did not exactly know when he became the heir though.

-Yeon Jeung: Then will you be leading the Poison Tower in the future?

-Soo Hyuk: Oh, will that day come?

He did not think that the day would come when he would become the next Lord.

Pavian is young.

He would not see the day when he would become the next leader of the Poison Tower.

-Soo Hyuk: What about the building?

-Yeon Jeung: Building?

-Soo Hyuk: You said you are going to make the announcement today. Don’t you need a base?

From the moment the announcement is made, the Reader Guild becomes the representative of Beyond, not the Dokgo Guild.

But in Beyond, there was no base for the Reader Guild.

-Yeon Jeung: Oh, the Marquis will support us with it. I am going to register as the guild house as soon as I take over the ownership tomorrow morning. We will have a four-storey mansion nearby.

-Soo Hyuk: Applying for a mansion?

-Yeon Jeung: Yes.

-Soo Hyuk: That’s great.

-Yeon Jeung: Right?

-Soo Hyuk: When are you going to notify the guild members?

It was only the two of them that knew about the representative guild matter.

And it will be announced today.

They need to let the guild members know about this.

-Yeon Jeung: Yes, I am going to do it right now and post it in the chatroom.

-Yeon Jeung: But did you reset the infamy?

-Soo Hyuk: No, not yet. I am going to login later in the morning to do it.

-Yeon Jeung: It will cost you a lot of money. If you don’t have enough, I can support you.

Soo Hyuk smiled at his words.

-Soo Hyuk: I also have a lot of money.

-Yeon Jeung: Ah, still it is because of the guild, so the guild should bear the costs.

-Soo Hyuk: Got it. If I don’t have enough, I will contact you.

-Yeon Jeung: Yes! Thank you. You really worked hard.

-Soo Hyuk: You have also suffered a lot. I am going now.

-Yeon Jeung: Yes.

After the whisper, Soo Hyuk logged out.

Soo Hyuk got up from the capsule.

It was to check the posts on the forums.

‘How many posts would have come out?’

Soo Hyuk looked at the headings.

A heading came into his sight, it was an article about Yarion’s Wrath.

The problem was the contents of the article.

‘How much is the Yarion’s Wrath bid? Oh, it doesn’t make sense.’

Soo Hyuk checked the articles with a distrustful expression.

He wanted to check if it was true or not.

Soo Hyuk who checked the articles could not say anything.

‘Isn’t it false?’

It was because it was not a click-bait article. Soo Hyuk immediately opened his mouth and muttered.

“Great.”

“It’s crazy.”

“Yeah.”

Yang Joo Hyuk and Jang Yul were looking at the number one monitor.

On monitor #1, various posts on the official website were displayed.

Jang Yul turned his head and said while looking at the second monitor.

“How far will it go?”

Yang Joo Hyuk turned his head and looked at the second monitor following Jang Yul’s words.

On the second monitor, the auction status of the hottest item [Yarion’s Wrath] was displayed.

“Will it go up from 10 million gold?”

Currently the bid was 10 million gold.

“It’s one billion won in cash but will it still rise?’

“…”

Yang Joo Hyuk replies to Jang’s words.

He thought and immediately said.

“I think it will go further up. There are two days left including today.”

New bids were slowly appearing but there are still two days to go.

It’s expected that the end bid will be much higher than the current amount of 10 million gold.

Soo Hyuk came into his room and stepped into his capsule while thinking about what to do today.

‘First, Infamy needs to be reset.’

What if he dies without being able to reset it.

Items drop on death.

And you don’t know which item will drop.

The legendary weapon, “Ryan’s Staff of Deception” may be dropped.

‘Then…’

What to do after resetting the infamy?

‘I have to go to the Edil Library.’

Soo Hyuk wasn’t referring to the Edil Library of the Youth Kingdom which had already been conquered.

He was referring to the Edil Library in Principality of Eileen.

Arriving at the Capsule, Soo Hyuk was finished with his thoughts and connected to Pangea.

Upon login, Soo Hyuk looked around and recalled about the library.

Of course, since he stayed for a short while, the recollection of memories was short.

He left the library and went to the warp gate.

‘There is a Temple of Leah in Ilan.’

Soon arriving at the warp gate, Soo Hyuk warped to the city of Illan. It was because it had a temple.

‘It’s in the opposite direction of the guild house.’

Arriving in the city, Soo Hyuk recalled the location of the temple and followed the path according to his memory.

“Uh, the Reader Guild?”

“It has been a long time since I saw them.”

The city of Ilan was the base of the Reader Guild.

The guild’s reputation was higher here than other places.

That’s why there were many people who recognized the Reader Guild mark.

Soo Hyuk sped up in case users try to get close to him like yesterday.

Fortunately, no users approached him like yesterday and Soo Hyuk was able to safely reach his destination, the Temple of Leah.

Soo Hyuk went inside the temple.

In order to reset Infamy, the confession room had to be used and the priest’s permission was required to access the room.

‘Found him.’

Soon, Soo Hyuk told the priest as he approached him.

“Hello.”

“Yes, Brother. Hello.”

Soo Hyuk straight away went to the main point

“I came to wash away my sins. Can I use the confession room?”

“Oh, of course. I will guide you.”

The priest smiled at Soo Hyuk’s words and took the lead. Soo Hyuk followed the priest.

“You can use this place.”

Soon he reached a confession room.

“Thank you.”

Soo greeted the priest and went inside.

As soon as he entered, a statue of a Goddess came into his view.

‘He said it would be there at the front.’

[Infamy: 3975]

[Money required to reset: 4297 Gold]

Then a window appeared.

“4200 gold?”

He only killed a few of people.

However, so much gold was required to reset the infamy.

‘Hey.’

Soo Hyuk sighed and clicked OK.

[Infamy has been reset.]

After clicking OK, a message appeared.

Soo Hyuk opened up his inventory while looking at the message.

The gold was drastically reduced.

“Yes, it will come back with Yarion’s Wrath.”

Tomorrow the auction of Yarion’s wrath ends.

At the end, a huge amount of gold will be received by him.

Soo Hyuk closed the inventory.

He came out of the confession room and out of the temple.

‘Shall I stop at the auction house?’

Soo Hyuk headed towards the warp gate from the temple..

‘I am curious how far has it risen.’

Except for the start, Soo Hyuk had not checked the bid amount.

Because once he checks it, he will continue to think about it.

However, Soo Hyuk who accessed the official website past midnight today, learned about the bid amount and his mind cleared.

It was an amount which was bound to open his mind.

He was very curious about how much the current bid was right now.

It was then.

[Location of the Main Guild House has changed.]

[Main Guild House: Beyond, Fade Kingdom.]

A message appeared while he was thinking about going to the auction house.

-Yeon Jeung: Soo Hyuk.

Shortly after the message, a whisper came from Yeon Jeung.

-Soo Hyuk: Yes.

-Yeon Jeung: Did you see the message?

-Soo Hyuk: Yes. When will the announcement be?

-Yeon Jeung: 1:00 PM.

-Yeon Jeung: All guild members are coming to the guild house. It was decided to raid the guild house the moment it’s announced that the representative guild has changed.

-Soo Hyuk: What time should I come?

-Yeon Jeung: Are you coming?

-Soo Hyuk: I will come. It’s a big deal.

-Yeon Jeung: 12:30 PM. Can you come?

-Soo Hyuk: Yes, I can. I will be there by 12:30.

-Yeon Jeung: Yes. See you later!

Soo Hyuk who finished whispering with Yeon Jeung, had his worries gone.

He will not go to the auction house to check the bid amount as that will not relieve all of his worries.

It will only solve the immediate curiosity.

‘I should raise the wisdom even if it’s just one more.’

It was better to raise his wisdom by reading a book than to solve a curiosity which will rise again.

Having decided to go to the library, Soo Hyuk arrived at the warp gate and went to the Edil Library at the Principality of Eileen.

Arriving at the Principality of Eileen, Soo Hyuk left the warp gate and headed straight to the library.
