Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

The kid pointed below, then at himself, and finally at Blaugrun.

〈Leeha is the owner. Next is me. We are soulmates! You are last!〉

That was, so to speak, ‘ordering the ranks.’

[Kwikkyuk, kyukkyuk!]

Blaugrun did not stay still.

He took turns pointing out Lee Ha and himself several times, and then he stretched out his little arm towards the kid! and stretched out.

〈Leeha and I are partners! You’re just a pet!”

And Lee Ha was looking at that with a bewildered expression.

“It’s been a while since I summoned someone without an opponent to fight, so this is the result…”

Both the kid and Blaugrunn boom, chirp, boom! I don’t know if I should laugh or cry when I see him shaking his head while doing this.

‘Should I say I’m glad the two of you didn’t hit and fight?’

Convincing himself about what would happen if he spewed out a fireball or if Blaugrun unleashed his lightning-type breath, Iha again cut off the meat of another harpy’s leg.

What is the best way to break up a fight?

“Eight! If we fight, neither of us will get meat? No matter what, we are all one family, so let’s get along!”

[Kyuu, kyuuu….] “Kyuuong!”

“Alright kid, there are 3 minutes left until you are de-summoned, so eat first! Don’t worry, I’ll leave Mr. Blaugrun’s share as well.”

“Cow.” [Kyukki!]

“This is why I don’t know when I’ll eat my share.”

Lee Ha shook his head and worked hard to take care of his ‘family’.

“Have you heard from the hero’s descendants yet?”

“There was… but the participation rate is not high yet. Above all, there are many people who live with their ears closed, so it is not easy to spread the news, so if things continue like this, how many more people will gather…” “It would be easier to

deal with the pieces of the devil if they are there, but if they are not there, there is nothing we can do. Even at this very moment, Les is probably wandering around the New World in search of Gibrid and Pyroth-Kokri…”

The Pope let out a deep breath.

That frustration was also shared by Fernand.

In my heart, I wanted to officially launch and set sail for the New World Expedition today, but the reality was that the walls were high.

‘There isn’t enough time to gather the descendants of the heroes of the Second Human and Demon War. They have already reached a certain level and are blocking all whispers and focusing only on leveling up… but they can’t afford to take a few weeks or even months. It would be better to take those who have Plus Alpha skills or items beyond their simple level, but if that is not possible – the answer is to make up the strongest people.’

Descendants of heroes are not found in all occupations. And it’s a user.

Some people may have just been lucky enough to become descendants of heroes, while others may have already quit Middle Earth.

Even if they remain, unless they spend almost all of their time in Middle Earth as shown below, there is a possibility that they will turn out to be uncooperative if you force them to participate in the New World expedition.

Fernand also knew that, so the grace period could not continue.

Therefore, the next best option was to elect elite members!

This is the very agenda proposed by Fernand, approved by the Pope, and delivered in an official letter to each country.

“Then, is the status of support for selecting expedition members okay?”

“Yes, Your Holiness. A large number of top-level foreigners from each country are participating. An agreement on the division of work for each country’s expedition to the New World has almost been reached, so we will be able to launch it soon.”

“What did you say would happen?”

“Kraben provides ships and navigation, Phubiel provides navigation and material support, Minis provides materials and resources for the construction of a pioneer base, and Shazrasian provides support for the construction of a pioneer base and relay mana tower.”

This was the result of Fernand meeting with the kings of each country.

Since he himself had the title of ‘Pioneer King’ and the name of the Pope was added, an agreement was able to be reached quickly.

Nevertheless, Fernand, who was in charge of the negotiations directly, was not very satisfied.

‘There is a great cause to kill the devil’s pieces, but in the end, it is clear what each country wants. Things that have been coming to me since the early days of Middle Earth -‘

〈New Territory and More Resources〉

Fernand, who enjoyed pioneering and adventuring and drawing maps from the early days of Middle Earth, knew very well that each country only acts for its own benefit. there was.

“Good. very good. According to the Ancient Dragon’s advice… it will be much easier if we can build a pioneering base that can link the new continent with the current continent.”

“you’re right. His Holiness. So what matters now is speed and time savings. If we can somehow get the elites and supplies to the New Continent… then the pace of work will accelerate.”

This was also the reason why Fernand and the Pope did not wait any longer for the hero’s descendants. Currently, the general opinion is that space movement is impossible.

‘But I got a hint thanks to the person Leeha introduced me to.’

NPCs never give directions first.

If at least a single keyword is presented, hints are given accordingly and the user is gradually guided to the correct answer.

‘Did you say Hyein? It was a really great idea.’

An idea that only Seigi can come up with, based on a thorough understanding of space and coordinates.

[Is it possible to move through space between the current continent and the new continent by building a mana relay tower at a specific point in the Sea of Dawn and building another mana relay tower at the New World exploration base?] Hyein’s ‘keyword suggestion’ that utilizes space movement like a communication

frequency ‘ Baylippus nodded.

The answer was so simple that even Fernand and Alexander, who were watching from the side, were surprised.

‘Of course, the assumption is that building a mana relay tower in those two locations will be successful… but if it fails, you will become a drifter in the New World, having to wait for the next expedition without an appointment, as explained in the first quest.’

There are many anxiety factors.

However, Middle Earth is something where you can’t be sure about anything without trying it.

Fernand decided to trust his intuition and the strength of the expedition team.

―Leeha, Leeha, Fernand! Are you Fernand? Bippo, Bippo! hello? hello?

It was around that time that Fernand heard an unfamiliar whisper. What surprised me wasn’t just the tone of voice I heard.

‘I guess everyone will be blocked except for those who allow it?’

This was because I was curious about the identity of the person who had even penetrated Middle Earth’s system.

-There’s no use pretending you can’t hear! Leeha, don’t we need descendants of the heroes of the Second Human Demon War? Hehehe, I am the successor to the Midnight Circus ‘Ringmaster’, let’s take a leap!

-Pitre! Are you a ranked 5th assassin?

-Woo-ha-! Can you hear me? Hey, can you hear me? I thought you would hear me giggle! I will participate too! Do you have a rough idea of how much help I will have if I go in? There will be times when you need my strength other than just hopping on a boat, hehe!

What can an assassin do on a voyage to the New World?

‘There is no way to know what comes out of the Sea of Dawn.’

Fernand also knows this well. Therefore, I was able to quickly understand what Pitre wanted to say.

[When you need strength in addition to riding a ship.]

In other words, he was saying that he knew well how to exploit the loopholes in Middle Earth.

―You have proven that you contacted me through the whisper blocker. All right, Mr. Pitre. I will include you as a member of the New World expedition.

Fernand smiled. Pitre’s reply was instantaneous.

-indeed! He’s the king of pioneering! Adventurers are different, they have great courage! Just by not being scared in front of an assassin!

―But how did you do this? I’ve tried it a few times in the past, but is it possible to get through the whisper blocking? Is it an item? Or skill? If it’s not that difficult, could you please let me know? If only I had known this a long time ago, I would have told the descendants of heroes-

-Ukyakyakya! You’re a very noisy person too! More than me!

The fifth-ranked assassin who has carried out assassinations by digging into the loopholes of Middle Earth.

He also couldn’t handle the pioneer king’s talkativeness.

It was after more than a day had passed in Middle Earth that Ki-jeong logged on.

Meanwhile, the level of those camping in the Harpy Zone of the Red Mountains had already risen.

‘Level 176. No, it’s fast enough at this level, but…’

While sweeping alone in the pool party hunting ground of users of the same level, Lee Ha was feeling inadequate.

In fact, it wasn’t even a hunt to level up. Because Black Beth’s fifth quest is more difficult than expected.

While shooting for practice, my level unintentionally(?) increased.

“Ahhh! 3,500m! It’s at full range, with all the joint fixation skills and snipes used! I really think this game is doing this on purpose to annoy people. Don’t you think so, Mr. Blaugrun? I thought I was doing well now that I had an item that ignores wind direction and speed… but now I’m just killing it on the streets.”

[Kyu?]

“The same goes for multiple warheads. It has almost a special destructive power and a very short cooldown, so I was confident that I wouldn’t be defeated by Luger or Kid… but it turned out that I couldn’t use it properly twice because it was a mana-eating monster, and ugh….

” ! All human men—”

“Eight, don’t bother.”

Tukwaaaaang――――――!

Iha sighed as he leisurely killed a newly created harpy.

As I was looting miscellaneous items from the corpse and opening the bag, an item caught my eye.

‘Tsk, I’ll have to solve this first.’

―Gijeong!

-Uh, tongue, bro! were you still doing it?

-of course. Hehe, but what did you do to come so late? Since it took more than a day to play Middle Earth, that means more than 5 hours have passed in real life…?

As soon as Lee Ha broke up with Ki-jeong, Nara, and Bo-bae, he logged onto Middle Earth.

We parted ways in the afternoon, logged on immediately, and have been handling City Gaza’s business and hunting ever since.

‘But Ki-jeong didn’t log in to Middle Earth until after 11pm, and now he’s done it…?’

Lee Ha deserved a sinister smile.

―Hmm, what are you doing? What are you doing? I didn’t do anything.

―Bobae is not online yet… You clearly went with Bobae. You must have done something.

―W-What kind of interrogative tone are you talking about? I didn’t do anything. Just-

-just?

-I had a drink…

-Suul~? So are you drinking Middle Earth now?

―I had a glass of beer, a glass of beer. We didn’t meet up for drinks, we just wanted to talk some more.

―Hehe, what did you say?

―What are you talking about? We just talked about various things…

―Sigh~ Sik. What did you say? Say it quickly. Did you hold hands?

The corners of Iha’s mouth naturally rose as he whispered. Is there anything more enjoyable than listening to other people’s stories about relationships or romance?

―Hey, brother! It’s not like I’m a kid, just hold my hand.

-Oh oh? oh?! then? Then what did you do? no way? next? hug? kiss?

-What kind of hug is a hug? It was just, well, it was like that. just.

-what?! What did you do!

The more Kijeong equivocated, the more his curiosity grew.

‘What, you guy! He boasted that he was an expert in dating, but it couldn’t have been something – really.’

Meanwhile, various thoughts were passing through Iha’s head.

It felt like words like ‘I’m jealous’ and ‘Me too…’ were floating around like speech bubbles, growing rapidly as well as wondering what I had done.

-That’s just- Ah, what should I say. After having a drink, I just-

-just?

-so so.

-Hey-! What kind of tank is so good at hit and run? Even if you were an assassin, you would have done well.

[Pfft!?]

“Oh, I’m sorry. I suddenly got angry.”

When Iha suddenly stepped on the ground, Blaugrun tilted his head.

Ki-jeong was lifting and lowering his voice with just a whisper.

-Tsk tsk, I’ll tell you later. Ah, the guild members were asking about recruiting expedition members to the New World.

-Oh right. Are you going to apply?

-then! I have to participate at least to raise the name of the guild. Brother, how do you deal with this?

The following had already been hinted to byeolcho executives, including Kijeong. However, it was at the level of a warning that something like this would happen.

According to the accurate information currently received through Ju and Fernand, there was not much of an advantage to Ki-jeong.
