16 – 16 – Parallel World Guild Master Gallery (2)
The gallery began pouring out various conspiracy theories.
ㄴ But how is Guild Master an academy schoolgirl?
ㄴ Didn’t you see him not being a schoolgirl?
ㄴ So, is he a schoolgirl?
ㄴ It’s annoying just to think he’s a schoolgirl
ㄴ Guild Master is an academy schoolgirl. Ok? If you don’t know, just memorize it.
ㄴ Oh
ㄴ hahahahaha, imagine schoolgirl as Guild Master lol
ㄴ Backtrack lol
ㄴ Guild Master is an academy schoolgirl? Lol Wait lol, I’m going to apply to academy right now lol
ㄴ What did the academy do wrong? lol
ㄴ Academy dean crying lol
ㄴ Bearded old men flocking to the academy… ‘shocked’
Title: The Reason Why Guild Master Is a Nobleman. Rly.
He adapted too quickly to be from another world, and immediately issued a warning after freeing the auction house.
Thinking of politics and war as keywords is suspicions oo
Who’s closest to politics and war? A noble oo
It’s more credible that he’s a nobleman who has committed all this, rather than not being a nobleman. oo
ㄴHmm, is it?
“Hmm. That’s true, isn’t it?
Did he adapt quickly? That’s nonsense – he must have known at least some of it to adapt properly.
Then, if Chudik is a noble, where do you think he’d fit in? A Viscount? A Count?
He must be at least a Count. Being a Baron or an Earl would be less likely.
In human terms, that’s about the level… For an elf, he’d be a World Tree guardian. For a demon, a mid-rank demon. For a beastfolk, a tribal chief.
Isn’t he surprisingly unemployed, considering his influence on the continent?
Lol, real talk, that could be possible.
An unemployed man (has a big influence on the continent, Chudik the gallery owner)
How is this considered unemployment, lol.
So, where is Chudik living?
I don’t know if Chudik lives in the west, the center, or the east.
His lifestyle is 0-level, so he sleeps and wakes up whenever he feels like it;;;;
Wake-up time (eastern), bedtime (western)
Lmao.
He’s just like the second Demon Emperor, lol. When he wakes up, it’s morning, lol.
I think he’s in the west.
An elf?
No, he could be from an empire leaning towards the west.
So, in the end, we don’t know.
But the noble theory is at least probable, lol.
Lol, real talk. The academy’s female student theory followed by ‘Yes’.
Chudik is a female student at the academy (reason, S-grade beauty, pure, gallery owner Chudik)
The last factor is the most annoying, lol.
This guy nonchalantly makes dizzying remarks, lol.
Is he a female student at the academy, lol?
Title) The Reason Chudik is a Noble;;
This guy hardly has any greed for money.
You can’t help but be from a rich family to do things this way.
He could just not be greedy for money.
Even if you had ten thousand gold in your hands, would that be possible?”
Title: The Deeds with a Few Million Gold: Eating Chicken Skewers
Lol, if the nouveau riche acts like this, he’s not sane.
But how can one possibly explain the dirt house?
Though for the commoners’ home, it’s extremely small.
Consider him just an eccentric aristocrat living in a strange house is still weird.
Might be the family lineage of somewhere… But I don’t know the details.
Title: The Certainty about a Pleb Being an Aristocrat
(Crab eating crab image.jpg)
All died.
What the hell is this, lol?
Suddenly I want to eat crabs, lol.
Cannibalism, lol.
Is it for real? Lol.
Title: Revealing the Pleb as an Aristocrat
(Squirrel Thunder.jpg)
Squirrel Thunder
Squirrel Thunder is hella fun, lol.
Watched the whole Squirrel series and it’s so cute, lol.
New things pop out every time I watch this series.
The Squirrel Hellfire also appeared last time.
How can you stand the Squirrel Archmage, lol.
Most among it are useless or illogical, seducing, and mainly playing tricks.
Truth was just a worthless thing in the gallery.
Just the spinning happening of interest was what mattered the most.
Although it was a time to slander, chew, and savor Dirtbag, the bait gradually got cold.
– Dirtbag
Title: Am I an Aristocrat…?
(A rough photo of a “one-room” taken by oneself.jpg)
If the house is this big, it’s spacious.
Average for commoners, well;;
“Is this supposed to be a house? Isn’t it just a room?
“f*cking commoner pretending to be something else
Eurovision have houses too, f*cker
“Didn’t know commoners live in just one room
“Commoners are crying
“This bastard brings down the average
“Do you want to die? Don’t tell anyone you’re a commoner
“The room where the slave lives would be bigger than this, f*cker
“My stable is smaller than this
“What the hell is this place where humans live?
“Doesn’t he ever leave the bed?
“The best house for scrolling
“If he doesn’t scroll, there’s nothing here.
“Isn’t this a stuck in a chicken coop?
“Really, stuck in one place only receiving chicken skewers and managing the gallery
“Didn’t know that.
“Title) Pretending to be a commoner
“Great acting
“Is he going into a dog house and acting now?
“That can’t be a person’s house
“f*cker would do that.
“I thought he was a nobleman pretending to be a commoner
“As expected, it’s obvious
“How innocent someone must be to believe this
“How can you believe this?
“Maybe he’s really a nobleman pretending to be like this
“No, he’s not really a commoner pretending to be one,
“Possibly a commoner pretending to be a nobleman pretending to be a commoner
“What are you doing?
Is this a commoner’s Matryoshka?”
“But what if… what if that’s really Jootick’s house? What if he’s not actually an aristocrat? What if he’s living in a room smaller than anyone else’s, scrolling through galleries for 20 hours a day…? What if he, on rare occasions, only ventures out to buy chicken skewers…?
Hey, stop kidding around.
Jootick sobbing comfortably at home.
Is this a person’s life…?
Is this… aristocracy…???
Title) Stop lying
How can that be a person’s house, a person’s life?
Does Jootick look like a dick to you? Obviously, he will be living in a lavish mansion.
Likely surrounded by maids in bikinis.
Surely this is a lie, don’t believe this.
Please say it’s a lie.
There’s no way this is true.
He’s an aristocrat but lying?
But why doesn’t he say it’s a lie?
Jootick, you can’t be serious.
Please, you son of a b*tch!!!!!
Show your real residence right now!!!!! I won’t say anything!!!!!
People pitched in to a conspiracy theory that someone jokingly wrote.
And anyway, Jootick must be lying too!
How can someone live in such a place.
“Everyone, get out.”
You’re no longer gallery lurkers.
Only Jootick, who was actually living in a one-room, was deeply hurt.
***
Gal Jootick might actually be an aristocrat.
Everything he’s shown so far is a lie! A production!
The theory about Jootick being an aristocrat, which started with a small suspicion, rang true to many people.
“He’s rich. Doesn’t he spend? Doesn’t he care?”
“Is he already a wealthy aristocrat?”
“How would he live in such a house. He’d go mad.”
“Of course, this is a staged photograph.”
So, the geode must be of nobility.
A social gathering was held to find the geode.
If the geode is found coincidentally at the gathering, that person gets the chance to dominate the world.
While there were those who attended the gathering daily, exposing their desires profusely, not everyone was like that.
Queen Arshela of Majeros, who is both the sea urchin and the devil, read through the gallery.
“The geode is of nobility? Hmm… I don’t think so.”
The geode gave off too friendly an odor to be nobility.
A scent of life that was totally detached from authority.
Even though Arshela drew the tentative conclusion that the geode was not a noble, she didn’t really care.
What difference does it make whether he’s a noble or a commoner?
In the end, what matters is bringing them to Majeros somehow after building rapport.
She let out a faint chuckle.
The truth is unknown. But plotting such a conspiracy is just fun.
She acted like a hedonist who chased after fun, but deep within her heart, a question remained.
So where on earth is the geode?
A pure question wandered in Arshela’s mind.
She wanted to bring him because he was much more impressive than any other geode.
Does he know his own worth, compared to others? He has hidden information about himself better than anyone.
Or… is he just used to this kind of life?
She was just waiting for the geode to reveal something of his own.
Show intimacy. Or provide a hint to pinpoint his location.
Either way, she was going to bring the geode with her for the prosperity of Majeros.
“But this is too much.”
Didn’t he hide his information too much?
To trust such a small room, no matter how false.
Is this a place where people live?
Such a skillful liar, she thought, and Arshela posted her usually styled writing.
-Devil tong
Title) Geode, you must live in a wonderful place~~
“It’s a cardboard house~~ It collapses when it rains~~”
“Chuckle.”
She let out a small laugh.
At that moment, a round of discussions were being held in the Kingdom of Osen.
Almost all the nobles have convened in a grand meeting, whose atmosphere thrummed with chilling silence.
Queen Beatrice exhaled a tiny sigh.
“…Is there anyone who knows who Joojik is?”
She put forth the question she had been holding in.
Joojik. A figure who wielded vast influence in the Gallery and had been a benefactor to the kingdom.
As far as the kingdom is concerned, the enormous stature of the Empire itself exerts pressure.
That very Empire had suffered damage and shrunk somewhat, offering the kingdom a great relief.
Despite the good news, Beatrice’s countenance refused to lighten.
“Is he one of our people…? Or why else….”
Why would he continue to aid our kingdom?
Her mind was full of questions.
He had incited a war, preventing the kingdom’s downfall.
He had dealt a blow to the Empire, supporting the kingdom.
Still, there was no clue as to who this Joojik could be.
‘If only I could thank Joojik in person…’
She would have arranged a personal dining invitation right then if possible.
Would that be enough? He would have possibly been given an open honorary title and asked for personal protection as a champion.
Joojik was a man deserving of such.
On his own, not with many. He stirred the flow of this continent.
He was indeed a colossal tidal wave in motion.
Yet, his identity remained unknown.
“I urge you to share your thoughts freely. If not, I’m considering making a wish.”
“A wish…isn’t that…”
“Aren’t we spending too much?”
“The kingdom has already received two major favors from him. So, even if… if we don’t express our gratitude, it would be morally out of place. I am eager to find Joojik first.”
Putting aside the political maneuvers.
She wanted to express her personal gratitude.
The problem was she didn’t know where Judd lived.
“Or… let’s speculate where Judd might be. Please share your thoughts.”
“Hmm…”
Everyone fell silent.
Queen Beatrice was indeed intimidating with her overflowing charisma but she wasn’t inflexible.
Free opinion. That meant anyone could voice their thoughts, whatever they were.
As long as they weren’t crossing a line.
But opening one’s mouth was not an easy task.
So, where was Judd?
How could one speak of what one didn’t know?
The first to raise his hand, the eldest Arjen, suggested a possibility.
“I think there’s a high chance that he’s one of the Empire’s people.”
“So, you’re saying he’s from the Empire but helped our kingdom? Why?”
“It seems so, because he responded immediately with aggression.”
Despite being able to use euphemisms, he attacked the kingdom publicly without delay.
This was, in other words, a snipe.
By being exposed in the gallery, the Osen Kingdom had no choice but to bow its head.
“However… though he responded aggressively, he probably doesn’t want war.”
Being aggressive doesn’t necessarily mean intent to attack.
If he had wanted a war, he would’ve waited and leaked information to the Empire.
He warned sternly and prevented the outbreak of war. He might be someone who prefers peace.
“So, he’s a noble?”
“It’s not confirmed, but… there’s a high possibility he’s a noble.”
His speech lacked dignity but that gave room for doubt.
The way he asserted so confidently that he was a commoner made one wary of a hidden shadow.
Someone behind the guise of a commoner who knows the etiquette of nobility.
‘To escape the dignity of a noble…’
One must know what noble dignity is.
It’s not possible to evade everything just by claiming ignorance.
To get every answer wrong in a test, one must know quite a bit.
However, the path that Judick has shown us so far is a perfect wrong answer for a noble.
This has bred the expectation that he is someone close to nobility.
“If he’s not a noble… He must have only used vulgar vocabulary all his life.”
“Can such a person exist…”
“It’s impossible.”
“How can a person…”
Everyone agreed.
From Noble mtl dot com
If one is a human, they would have lived outside too.
Can a person who lived like that… be called a human?
Rather, thinking this way.
I’m convinced that he’s pretending and acting.
“I doubt it upon hearing this… but the damage suffered by the empire from the recent auction house disturbance is severe. You’re saying that a noble of the empire attacked the empire?”
“Yes. For personal gains. Or someone in the Empire who resents the Empire.”
“…I can think of a few figures.”
Some figures came to mind.
There are those who are suspicious.
Those who clearly know noble manners and are familiar with the political situation on the continent.
Someone in the Empire who harbors resentment against the Empire.
It’s not certain, but there were more than a few suspicions.
“And Judick likes chicken skewers.”
“…Excuse me?”
“He likes chicken skewers. Chicken skewers are more famous food in the Empire than the kingdom.”
Therefore, it is highly probable that he is from the Empire.
Logically… Essentially someone from the Empire who harbors resentment against the Empire.
Essentially, the conclusion was leaning towards that side.
Unless it’s not.
A noble in the kingdom who is loyal to the kingdom…
Beatrice squinted her eyes.
‘Why won’t he show up?’
It bothered her greatly that he would not reveal himself.
Either he had no choice but to hide his identity,
or he was in a position where he couldn’t reveal it.
Either way, it created a lump in Beatrice’s heart.
‘Rather… I’d prefer if he concealed his identity while being a part of the kingdom.’
As a queen, she could then shower him with unconditional love.
How could she loathe someone who brings benefit to the kingdom?
This week, he’s not hiding his power.
On the contrary, he’s demonstrating stronger power, overpowering everyone.
Influencing the continent, he guides everything in his own rhythm.
Like the eye of a storm. He was the one to call upon the storm.
He was working for the kingdom.
‘How can I hate him…? It doesn’t seem he’s the type to flaunt his authority…’
Won’t he threaten the royal authority? She couldn’t dismiss that worry.
If he loved power, he should be wreaking havoc now.
But there was no sign of such behaviour from him.
However, that only applied when he revealed himself.
Since he was not revealing himself… It seemed wiser to consider him as someone from the empire.
“If he’s from the empire… Do you have any suspect?”
“There is one. A noble named Whisen…”
“Noble Whisen…”
“He is a scholar with a lot of knowledge. He’s known to have many peculiar hobbies yet not much ambition.”
“Upon hearing that, I find him certainly suspicious.”
Queen Beatrice made up her mind.
The probability of his absence in the kingdom was high.
So, she must somehow bring him into the kingdom.
“…We have to bring him into our kingdom. No matter what.”
If they want to keep the kingdom breathing, that is.
Beatrice clenched her fist.
