Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

Since the location of the crystal ball was saved near the warp gate, I had to walk a little further to the palace.

‘Chiyo is a member of MINIS. No, regardless of that, under the current peacetime situation, there is no problem with traveling around cities in other countries. It’s like I can wander around the city of Minnies. But…’

When it comes to the royal palace, it’s a different story.

Lee Ha blamed himself for underestimating Chiyo without realizing it.

A ranker of Chiyo’s level, if she really belonged to a guild that deals with information, and if she was running a high-class bar and high-class restaurant in a major city of Minis, there would be nothing strange about it.

‘There will be a huge contribution to Minis. Not to mention the common reputation of the continent.’

Of course, it wasn’t long before I found out that Minnie’s various ‘bases’ were located in major cities, but it was predictable enough!

It was actually a mistake to expect that someone as talented as her would just do things in secret. As long as there was nothing to worry about, at least on the surface, Chiyo was able to walk around confidently in a bright place, contrary to Lee Ha’s expectations.

“Leeha.”

“What! “Who are you?”

It was at that time that someone approached Lee Ha as he walked down the street.

Still, even Lee Ha, who remembered his face quite a bit, was seeing him for the first time.

“here.”

“What is this – uh, over there – over there!”

Sigh. The person handed something to Lee Ha and immediately turned around and disappeared. It was a small piece of paper.

“…what?”

[Kyuuuu?]

Leeha tilted his head at the same time as Blaugrun and unfolded the paper the man gave him.

If you received this note, you must be in the capital, right? Chiyo headed to the Palace of Puviel as a member of Minnis’ special envoy. Hurry and chase after me before you miss out. This is a matter of prior coordination to prevent territorial disputes in the New World.

“oh?!”

Did Ju send it through Lu?

Anyway, I just found out that the man is one of the NPCs of the information guild belonging to Sacred Grill.

It was a bonus to find out the reason for Chiyo’s visit to the Puviel palace, which even the Xin Dynasty did not know about yet.

‘this! So – that’s why you came! Just like Ram Hwayeon said…!’

Pubiel also said that they would soon dispatch palace-level personnel to the New Continent.

How did Ram Hwayeon know that fact?

Although there is a connection in the royal palace, if users who were not members of the New World expedition knew about it, it should be seen as meaning that enough of the story has already been told.

Of course, Minnis and Kraven would not remain silent.

There was nothing strange about moving first.

[Kyuu, kyuu]

“Yes, I have to hurry.”

When the huge Pubiel Palace began to appear before my eyes, I ran at a slightly faster pace.

It was the Xin Dynasty who entered the palace and welcomed him.

“Mr. Lee Ha!”

“Ah, Nara.”

“Quickly, quickly! “I’m still waiting before entering the throne room, but I don’t know what’s going to happen!”

Shin Nara, who did not know the purpose of Chiyo’s visit, urged Lee Ha.

However, in fact, Lee Ha, who came later, had that information.

Shin Nara crossed his arms and walked at a brisk pace as if he was leading Lee Ha. Hearing the sound of clank, clank, plate boots, Leeha spoke first about Chiyo’s purpose.

Shinnara looked quite surprised when he heard why Minnis had dispatched a special envoy.

“Still… we haven’t progressed that far with the story. You moved that fast in Minis? “The territorial issue of the New World is an incredibly sensitive matter.”

“Yes, that’s it. No, that’s probably why Chiyo moved.”

“yes?”

Chiyo is the head of the Shinobigumi. The person who leads the largest information guild among users is Chiyo.

Lee Ha did not answer Shin Nara’s question.

But his eyes were shining. Shinnara looked at Lee Ha’s face and then turned his head away.

I can’t believe the image below is ‘beautiful’. Xin Nara thought she was crazy. However, it is inevitable that your attention will continue to be drawn to Lee Ha!

She hurriedly turned around.

“Oh, by the way, did you go to the Vatican and complete the quest? “What reward did you receive?”

Hearing her slightly raised voice, Lee Ha looked dumbfounded.

When Leeha didn’t answer, she turned her head and looked at Leeha again. After examining Lee Ha’s expression, she looked even more surprised.

“Lee Ha… no way…”

“That’s right… I’m on a quest…”

“Really crazy- no, I’m sorry. But Mr. Lee Ha?!”

Even if Shin Nara didn’t say he was crazy, Lee Ha was blaming himself. Could it be that you are really crazy? You forgot the compensation from the Vatican!

The New World expedition quest was ultimately given by the Pope of the Church of Ezwene. In other words, you had to go back to Ezwen to receive the quest completion reward!

‘That much would have appeared in the notification window, and it would have kept asking me to check the reward every time I opened the quest window…’

Shinnara remembered when she cleared it.

It’s not something you can forget if you want to. You wouldn’t know it if you hadn’t logged into Middle Earth at all, but a really heavy player like Lee Ha would forget that.

‘It’s not a simple reward, does it make sense to forget the reward for completing a quest that will go down in Middle Earth history?’

‘crazy. no wonder. Somehow, something felt empty! ‘What a fool!’

Below, I had something to say.

In the New Continent, he was busy securing the New Continent’s advantage, and when he returned to the Old Continent, he was so absorbed in City Gazua’s work and Chiyo’s work that he didn’t even have time to worry about other things – even though they were too big to be called other things.

“Well, I was a little busy…”

“Oh, really… I forgot the quest reward because I was so busy… On the other hand, I feel like it’s amazing.”

It also meant that my concentration was strong when I was engrossed in one thing, but at this moment, there was nothing more to say.

Xin Nara was not looking at him with a pitiful or strange expression, but was looking at Leeha with pure ‘surprise’.

Shinnara’s expression did not change while listening to the following non-excuse excuses.

You can only be considered a true gamer if you put everything else aside and get the rewards for completing quests.

In her view, Leeha went beyond being a gamer and could be considered a ‘resident’ of Middle Earth itself.

‘Well, that’s also the point-’

“Dame Shin. “What’s going on?”

“ah! Ah, yes, over there – that -”

By the time Shinnara thought that it might be Lee Ha’s charm that made her heart flutter, she and Lee Ha had already arrived at their destination.

With a quick movement, Shin Nara unwrapped her arms with Lee Ha and calmed her voice.

“Thank you for your hard work. By any chance, Minnis’ envoys…”

“They just entered. His Majesty the King said he would meet them in person—”

“Oh no!” “Can we come in too?”

“Please wait a moment.”

A guard near the reception room looked at Lee Ha and Shin Nara alternately and placed a message somewhere.

Shinnara of the Sacred Knights, and the contribution to Pubiel as well as the city castle owner belonging to Pubiel. Even in the royal palace, there were almost no NPCs who could ignore them.

“Permission has been granted. Come this way.”

After a while, an NPC knight from the palace guard led them.

After walking for a while along the corridors of the magnificent Pubiel Palace, where Minnis’ envoys had already passed, Lee Ha and Shinnara stopped in front of the king’s throne room.

Thump, thump, thump.

The signal was simple.

After a while, when the door opened, Leeha had to control a lot of her patience.

“Oh my, Leeha~?”

Chiyo was waving her hand with a smile and making a funny expression.

‘You shouldn’t show it. ‘I must not reveal even a little bit of my heart.’

The following lightly ignored Chiyo and bowed to the king and the NPCs who were public servants of Puviel next to him.

One was a guard captain whom I had seen once. And another NPC standing next to him. He got on Leeha’s nerves.

“this. Dame God and… Musketeer—”

“Hi, Mr. Rotzak.”

The magic leader Lotjak was also there.

Lee Ha felt like he had met a fox and a hyena in the same room.

* * *

The King of Puviel looked tired.

After receiving greetings from Shin Nara and Leeha, I immediately asked Minnis’s envoy again.

“So… are you saying we should divide the area in advance and then enter?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. As you know, if the powerhouse Phviel and our Minis, even though they are not as good as Phviel, confront each other again, we will not be able to prepare for the peace of this continent, as well as the threats that will come from the New Continent in the future.”

As Special Envoy Minnis finished speaking, Chiyo, who was standing next to him, whispered something in his ear.

As soon as she fell again, Envoy Minnis’ mouth opened.

“Therefore, before full-scale exploration of the New World begins, I think it is reasonable for each country to decide how much land to manage based on the information they currently have. “If we go to the New World and conduct a thorough investigation, there is a possibility that an ‘unfavorable situation’ may arise in order for both parties to occupy better land.”

“…Phew… I understand what you mean.”

The King of Puviel nodded.

Lee Ha and Shin Nara came late, but the timing was very good.

This was because after the useless introduction, it was time to talk about the main topic.

Since I knew the general situation, I was able to understand the conversation immediately.

‘Indeed… I’m telling you to hit the nail on the head in advance because it could be a disaster.’

When we go to the New World, we will both want to occupy better land.

Therefore, before sending a full-fledged special envoy, the idea is to decide which land and how much to rule based on the information brought by the New World expedition members from each country….

‘If we have to compare, is it like a ‘random box’ from a country’s perspective?’

This is a new continent where information has already begun to be released as users, as well as members of the New World Expedition, come and go. However, in the current situation, it is difficult for anything to become a ‘public record’ or ‘public data’.

In other words, there is a high possibility that demarcating the area without dispatching an investigation team, as Minnis suggested, would literally be a gamble.

There is a possibility of acquiring an area that is truly fertile and rich in resources, but there is also the possibility of being in charge of an area full of warlike and aggressive paleo or monsters.

At first glance, it may seem like an equal opportunity, but Lee Ha shook his head resolutely.

If this plan had been proposed by the King of Minnis or by the Pope, it would have been acceptable.

But who is here now?

‘It is highly likely that this idea came from Chiyo.’

We must also keep in mind the possibility that she already has a lot of land information in the New World.

It must have been insufficient time for Chiyo to investigate on her own.

But who is she?

What if you used the Shinobigumi?

Due to the high price, poor users cannot even use the warp gate to the New Continent, but there would have been no problem with Shinobigumi’s financial power.

This is a time of upheaval, where even the smallest piece of information about the New World can be worth billions of dollars.

“The conversation with Kraven is somewhat over. If the powerhouse of the Lope continent, Puviel, accepts us, we will take over the task of persuading Shazrasian and reporting to Ezwen.”
