Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] - Chapter 375
“Mana is the basic energy of nature. The mana there and here are essentially the same. If that doesn’t work, something to do with space. Perhaps space movement may not be possible due to the distance between the new land and this place. Unless space movement magic such as teleportation or crystal ball is impossible, there is no human being capable of infinitely using fly magic… This should be especially considered for creatures that cannot fly.”
Bailipus is an NPC related to the Middle Earth system, and his statement that space movement is impossible is probably correct.
After that, Fernand shook his head and continued speaking.
“Uh, it may seem a bit demoralizing to tell you that I am forming an expedition to the New World, but I still have to let you know in advance. Especially for wizards, polymorphs will not be easy. Maybe it’s a dragon. There are saboteurs in the sky too. You’ll have to deal with them while flying, and it’ll be difficult in polymorph form. Unless, as Bailipus said, you can maintain fly magic and even use attack magic.”
“Whoa! So that means you can only go by boat. It’s almost like a crazy quest? Are you putting us in danger?”
Luger frowned and cut off Fernand’s words.
This time, Lee Ha had no choice but to agree with that statement.
What does it mean that you cannot move through space?
What if once you go to the New World, especially when your ships are attacked and you barely manage to get to the New World, you can no longer use them?
‘It’s good if you can fix it, but if it doesn’t work, it means you may not be able to come back. You can’t use a crystal ball, you can’t fly or polymorph, and in the worst case, you can’t even conceivably resurrect from death. Death and Resurrection is the nearest village, so since there are no villages in the New World yet, the landing point will be used as a standard… In other words, if things don’t work out properly -‘ [You cannot
return to the current continent.]
The New World expedition is formed again and the route is decided. It continued stably until a pioneering base was created.
In other words, they have no choice but to live as castaways in the New World until latecomers who are now stronger than they are come to rescue them.
In an unknown land without any support, including items, or a safe place.
“How did Mr. Fernand come back then?”
“It turned the bow. Before everyone dies. At least I survived because the other ships made sacrifices.”
The atmosphere in the hall became heavy due to Fernand’s light remarks.
There is a difference in growth between then and now, but the level of difficulty is such that even the pioneer king has to give up on pioneering.
“Great pumpkin, then you are giving pioneering experience to the first person to reach it? This is Daksurak.”
“Hey, Lee Ji-won? So carelessly-”
“That’s true. Since when do we start saying things like avoiding risk? If you miss this quest opportunity, you will have to chase after it like other users. The rewards received just for wiping out the demon king’s minions on the current continent… Have you already forgotten the enormous experience points, stats, and common reputation? Above all, there are still descendants of other heroes remaining. There will definitely be other ways to connect the new continent and the current continent. Middle Earth is always like that.”
“Kid? There is some truth to that, but…”
Lee Ji-won and Kidd were only the beginning.
“Adversity is natural in order to achieve justice.”
“I’ll go when my brother goes.”
From Alexander to Ramhwajeong. Each person was pressing the quest acceptance button with their own determination.
“…Damn you guys. If you all go away, there will be no one to fight in this land.”
Luger was the last one, and everyone except the following accepted the quest.
In this atmosphere, it was natural for Lee Ha to take action.
“His Holiness the Pope, then may I hand this item over to Fernand?”
“hmm. Do it like that. I will ask for your cooperation, but the holy relics will still have power.”
Lee Ha handed the key he was holding to Fernand.
“As a member of the New World Expedition, I ask you a favor. Please be fully prepared, Mr. Fernand.”
The moment I pressed the accept button, the wings attached to the end of the key fluttered for a moment.
〈Jannate’s Key〉
Effect: Buff when possessed – ‘Ahlo’s protection’ applied
Description: A gift given by Ahlo to his earthly representative. There are two theories: the [spiritual symbol theory] that it is a symbol meant to open the closed hearts of humans, and the [physical substance theory] that it is a necessary thing to go to Upper Earth, where Ahlo is, to actually see the body of God. There is a long conflict going on.
The 77th Pope Leorio
“of course. The deadline for receiving it was two months. While we are selecting candidates to participate in the expedition, including descendants of heroes, and eliciting support from each country… we ask that you also make your own preparations. Sailing to the New World is no easy task. That’s probably why the potion supply was provided.”
Fernand received the key, briefly mentioning the contents of his quest.
Humanity’s strongest expedition team was lazily preparing to form to chase down the Demon King’s fragment.
* * *
“That’s it.”
“Well, that’s how it happened? What are you going to say now, like a novel? If you suddenly say ‘that’s it’ at the end, do you think I’ll understand everything?”
Ki-jeong jumped up and down in front of Lee Ha-i.
“Kikit, Mr. Leeha is too much. If something like that happens, you should call us too!”
“That is already in the past. Rather, I am attracted to the New World Expedition. Can we participate too?”
Biyemi and Taeil told Iha that they were feeling sad inside.
“It’s not that I didn’t call you because I didn’t want to call you – you are the main characters of the guild. Even if you can be trusted, there is a possibility that a word or two that comes out of the mouths of other guild members may be heard by enemies outside the group. sorry. And if it’s the New World Expedition-”
Lee Ha also knew the power of Byeolcho, but he could not join in the case of a stooge for the Demon King’s army.
As the number increased, maintaining secrecy would have become more difficult.
“―This is a quest given by Mr. Fernand… I guess other people who are the successors of heroes can also apply. What test did you say you were taking? In any case, accurate information will come out once persuasion is completed in each country.”
“Hmm.”
Taeil nodded. It was natural that there was no room for taking the weak on what was going to be a dangerous quest.
“Me, indeed. Well, if me, Biyemi, Taeil, and Hyein were all out walking around, it would have been easy to get caught. I especially forgive you for this matter, Eong-ah.”
“Pfft, what are you going to do if I don’t forgive you? Anyway, I gave you information about the New Continent in advance, so stay alert.”
“okay. We should plant a flag in the New World in the name of Byeolcho.”
Ki-jeong’s eyes burned as if he couldn’t be left out this time.
“Kikit, then what are you going to do now, Leeha?”
“I’m going to stop by the Holy Grill because I have some material to pick up. Get some sleep today.”
Lee Ha stretched out and answered Biyemi’s question.
What he is looking for is information about Blaugrun.
These days, I needed to know a little more about the hatchlings that appear and disappear on Iha’s shoulder.
This is because I felt the need to properly understand how to use Blaugrun before leaving for the New World.
“Oh! brother! You know that appointment is this Saturday, right?”
“promise?”
“That promise back then! I thought you forgot. This time, you have to find the restaurant information.”
“Ahhh! Awesome, I almost got into big trouble. It’s Monday night, right?”
The day I was supposed to meet Shinnara and Bobae again! It was Saturday, two weeks after that appointment!
“Don’t forget this time! Get some rest these next few days and don’t log into Middle Earth! I’m afraid that if I get involved in another quest, I’ll break my promise.”
“Giggle, how dare I do that. I’ll control it well, don’t worry-”
Suddenly, another person’s voice rang in Iha’s head.
‘Today is Tuesday… And just before you left for the Vatican, you said something-”
[I told you. I’m going to Korea once. It’s not the 5 days of Middle Earth, it’s the 5 days of reality, keep in mind.]
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
How does the eldest daughter of the head of Lamlong Group find time to come to Korea? It is natural to use the weekend.
“Ki, Kijeong, I’m coming!”
“uh? Where are you suddenly-”
Lee Ha immediately returned to City Gaza.
* * *
“I almost got a little angry because they said they would come right after the end but then went towards the humans instead.”
“S-sorry. Um, but Ram Hwayeon?”
This is all I glanced at as soon as I entered the inner city of City Gaza. Ram Hwayeon was still looking at something quickly and writing it down at the same time.
“why. I’m busy writing the handover right now, so tell me later if it’s not urgent.”
“No, that’s not it- uh… you’re coming to Korea this Saturday, right? Maybe I should postpone that-”
“Yes. Arrival at ICN at 10 am. Oh, ICN is Incheon International Airport, right? Come there.”
“uh? You want me to come there?”
“I don’t know Korean geography, so what should I do? I have a few schedules to inspect with my attendants, but I can finish them quickly. Until then, come with me… um, the same…”
Her voice, which had been speaking without hesitation, became a little muffled at the end.
She seemed embarrassed to speak, so she buried her head in the papers again. Lee Ha was taken aback when he saw the flowing red hair.
‘I tried to say that I couldn’t put it off, but what is this- And what about going with you, and what do I know- You know what my condition is…’ “Look, there’s
something I didn’t tell you in advance, but I’m having trouble with my legs right now- Okay. , So, riding in a vehicle or something is a little bit-”
“Can’t you ride in a limousine?”
“It’s not about the limousine—”
“Okay, wait. … done. I told Jacheong to change to the largest van. So that you can stretch your legs. Then that’s enough, right?”
“uh? Huh?”
Did he even give an order to change vehicles in a whisper in that short period of time? I couldn’t keep up with her speed.
“No, something is strange. Shouldn’t I go on that inspection or something with him? That must be something at the level of your company.”
There might be something to do with business secrets. But you want to go around with yourself, a complete outsider?
What came back to the question below was Ram Hwayeon’s answer, and as expected, the ‘back part’ was an embarrassing answer.
“doesn’t care. Not only are you not the type to brag about what you see and hear… maybe it would be better to look at it in advance.”
“what?”
“no. No, no. anyway! Since you only have time, you must keep it! okay?”
“Okay… for now… okay.”
Lee Ha had no choice but to nod.
‘Is there nothing we can do if it happens like this?’
A promise is a promise. Moreover, how much did she help?
In the end, Lee Ha had no choice but to whisper to Shin Nara.
―Nara!
―Oh my, Mr. Lee Ha! What, what, what’s going on? Fernand has just entered the palace! He told me to go somewhere to the new continent and went. I heard Mr. Lee Ha is also a member there?
-Ah, yes, that- That’s how it happened. Leeha.
-Hee~ I’ll have to ask the rest when I meet them. So what about today? What made you whisper like this ‘it’s been so long’? Even if you are really indifferent, you are too indifferent.
The country’s voice of reprimand weighed heavily on Iha’s heart. But not saying anything would be a bigger problem.
– Ugh, by any chance… I was wondering if you were free on a day other than this Saturday…
– Are we meeting up? Should we postpone that?
―Ah… Yes, I’m sorry. Suddenly, something urgent happened–….
For
a moment, Lee Ha seemed to see Shin Na-ra’s expression beyond the whisper.
Nara’s suddenly cut off voice made Iha even more nervous than she was angry.
―Nara?
-…all right. I don’t think I’ll be able to make that time this week or even on the weekends because of the intensive training period… It can’t be helped.
-No, that’s it- All, next time I’ll go to Mr. Nara’s accommodation or something, near my house! Just go there and–
That’s it. I’m busy. Is there really a need to do that? I’ll tell Bobae too. Thank you for telling me in advance.
Pop.
For Lee Ha, the disappointment of the Xin Dynasty was as scary as Ram Hwayeon’s anger. Because no matter what it was, it had the power to shut the mouth of someone else.
‘Off…!’
Should I send you a whisper one more time? Should I say that it is because of Ram Hwayeon?
‘No, that’s – that’s pouring fuel on a burning house. Zenjaaaang! rather! Let me fight Bluebeard instead! That would be better! Damn it, damn it! ‘Stupid, idiot!’
Lee Ha hit his head against the wall of City Gaza’s office.
“What are you doing? My already bad hair is going to get worse.”
Ram Hwayeon tried to stop him as if he was joking, but Lee Ha’s self-blame would not stop.
