Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] - Chapter 411
“Leeha… ? Maybe for me-”
“Oh, well, it’s not like that. Leeha. Why are you so surprised by this? “I feel embarrassed that I raised my hand for no reason.”
Leeha walked to Alexander’s side. Below, looking at the expedition members sitting in a circle one by one.
The gazes looking at him contained many emotions. Not only doubts, but also worries, worries, and even relief…
Leeha responded to each and every look with a smile.
There was a little bit of worry, but at least the smile didn’t disappear from Leeha’s face.
Leeha opened his mouth with a faint smile representing confidence.
“Wouldn’t the best way be to clear [Mermaid Quest] and catch up with the New World Expedition?”
“It’s been four months since I couldn’t do that, so what are you talking about?” “Stupid Eong, sit down quickly—”
“That’s not it, Kijeong.”
“-what?”
“you can do it.”
“… “You can do it?”
Ki-jeong asked quietly, looking at Leeha’s expression that reassured him. In the quiet cabin, Leeha tilted his head.
“maybe?”
“Jeez, is this going to end with the word ‘maybe’?!”
It was probably natural for Kijeong to scream. Even Xin Nara was sighing with an anxious expression.
* * *
Chiyo bit her lip slightly.
If Leeha, who is such a thorn in his eye, came forward and decided to become a scapegoat, it would be normal to feel good…
‘What are you thinking? You want to clear the mermaid quest? Nonsense. There is no such way in the current situation! Are you now going to claim that there is something hidden? If I had, I would have used it a long time ago. Even when subduing the Demon King’s henchmen, there was nothing different from now. No, they say I gained a skill like that missile…’
Can you believe that and say something like that?
‘That can’t be possible. However, there is no way that many hidden skills like that could have been created… What is your intention, Leeha. ‘What are you planning to do again?’
Leeha’s words and actions were beyond her understanding, and as the head of the Shinobigumi and the master of the Old Continent’s greatest information guild, she could not forgive Leeha’s words and actions.
Above all, wasn’t one of the main reasons she participated as a member of this New World expedition team for the purpose of observing the Three Musketeers one by one?
However, if Leeha suddenly falls out, one of her goals will not be achieved.
‘Hey… Damn it, damn it! Damn you, damn you!’
In a sense, Leeha’s unexpected behavior was the one that hurt Chiyo the most.
This is even more so than simply damaging Black Bess or destroying her tavern.
As evidence, Chiyo had a hard time even acting, unlike usual.
She is glaring at Leeha with an expression of blatant discomfort.
Fortunately for her, the members of the expedition team, including Leeha, were not sober enough to care about Chiyo.
“Leeha… Thank you very much.”
A blush appeared on Roubini’s face beneath the eye patch. Her hand was shaking as she held onto Leeha’s hand tightly.
“Uh- hey, yes, yes, what…”
Leeha tried to pull his hand away in a panic, but even that was not an easy task.
However, Leeha’s heart was too kind to coldly say, ‘I didn’t do it because of you, so don’t be mistaken.’
“Mr. Lee… ?”
“brother.”
[Kyu!]
It was inevitable that the expressions of Shin Na-ra and Ram Hwa-jeong were distorted.
Before I knew it, Blaugrun had also gone near Shinnara and was complaining to Leeha.
“No, hey – anyway! I’m talking about it because it feels like the best, best move. really!”
“Leeha, are you saying that clearing the mermaid quest on your own is the best, best way?”
“huh. is it so.”
“…Do you know what happens to bullets in water?”
You are not firing from outside the water into the water.
If it’s in the sea, it means you have to shoot underwater and at objects in the water!
A normal handgun can only travel 2 to 3 meters, and a typical rifle can only travel about 5 meters.
A bullet that travels faster than the speed of sound loses all of its energy when fired underwater. This is unavoidable due to the nature of bullets that rely on rotational force as one of the foundations of acceleration.
“of course. Even if it is a Black Bass or a sniper rifle, the range will be reduced to within 10m. “Even if you hit it from a distance of about 2 meters, guys like Fishman won’t die.”
Kid was asking because he was worried, but Leeha was even aware of that.
“At least you can shoot Black Bess, but your toy gunpowder guns are completely useless. Well, you would know that if my ugly head were to turn around, right?”
“You’re noisy, Luger. Of course I know. “Are you afraid I said I was doing it without thinking?”
Are you more ugly? I had a good conscience to say this.
It was a clear fact that Luger, even in the middle of the sea, with his pomade on, was more handsome than Leeha.
“Oh, did you have any thoughts? “I didn’t know.”
Luger chuckled as he listened to the answer below.
Needle guns – pistols or hummingbirds – A warning that pistols cannot be used at all. Leeha could feel the concern contained in that sarcastic tone.
“Leeha.”
“Umm… Bailiphus, do you have any waterproofing magic?”
“Of course. But how are you going to get back?”
“You know.”
Blaugrun was flying above the head of Leeha, who was grinning.
What if you place Blaugrun on one of the two ships and use the Departure skill? Wouldn’t it be possible to come up from the deep sea floor?
“indeed. But time will be an issue. “Even though we are partners, we cannot escape the restrictions unless we are connected by soul.”
“I guess so. Well, there are other ways than that.”
I had to keep in mind the possibility of being delayed in clearing the quest or exceeding my skill range while hesitating on the seabed.
Of course, with the calculations below, that didn’t happen.
‘If it takes that long at the bottom of the sea… I’m going to die anyway.’
After talking with Bailippus for a moment and confirming his escape method, Leeha immediately turned around.
“Okay, if it’s decided, let’s go! “Mr. Fernand said he put it on hold, but if the quest disappears for no reason, it’s a big problem, right?”
Leeha went out of the cabin brightly and cheerfully.
Users who did not know what escape method and plan he had could not help but look at Leeha with a strange expression.
You might end up becoming a victim and incurring a penalty, and you don’t even want a specific reward from Sipshi General in return?
Now, it’s not important whether Leeha can clear the quest.
The attitude that allows you to confidently and resolutely face this situation. A kind of respect and awe toward that confidence was bound to spread among users.
* * *
“… What would you do?”
Sibrim looked anxious as he watched the humans rushing out of the cabin. A hologram window appeared again in front of the users.
Since the story was already over, it was a waste of time to think about it any more.
[Septic Tank Cleaning]
Contents: Failure to remove the source of contamination inside the ‘Septic Tank’ owned by Undine’s clan
Conditions: Upon death, upon death of the Sea God, upon death of Sea God Guard Captain Seabream
“Are you sure it will be okay, Mr. Leeha?”
“yes. I’ll tell you everything I hear. “Please stand behind me, Monsieur Fernand.”
Fernand nodded and pressed the button to refuse to accept the quest. Other users did the same.
Only Leeha took a step towards Seabreem and pressed the accept button.
“I will help you.”
Shaaaa… !
As soon as I clicked the accept button, another notification window appeared.
You have agreed to the ‘Water Ring’ constraint.
A light blue string was created connecting Siburim and Leeha’s body.
The magic that went beyond a simple state was like the ‘Seal of Protection’ used by Ki-jeong. Binding the caster and target into one fate. Only the caster can cancel it.
I was caught in a ‘water ring’ that restricted my movement.
[Castor: Seaburim]
You cannot move further than 20m away from the caster until it is cancelled.
‘Well, since you’re an NPC, you won’t break your promise, right? It’s really the worst thing to think that a user would bet on something like this.’
That is why consent is needed. Leeha nodded and accepted the fate he had agreed to.
“Then let me know. “Where is the center of the Sea of Dawn that connects the Old World and the New World?”
―To be precise, it is not known whether it connects the Old World and the New World.
-Eh? The promise is different!
―Is that why you didn’t say it in the first place? I haven’t confirmed with my own eyes whether the new continent is there, so I can’t say for sure that it’s somewhere in between.
―Okay, I think that’s what you mean… great. Anyway, since you are the one taking responsibility for your words, please tell me now. Where is the central part of the ocean?
It wasn’t difficult to guess what Leeha was doing. Therefore, all members of the expedition were quietly waiting for the following conversation to end.
Sibrim looked directly at Leeha and presented the quest’s first reward.
-It’s the Dragon Palace.
―Dragon Palace? Is it the waters of the Dragon Palace that we are going to now?
-exactly. It is known that when the sea god built the Dragon Palace, he built it in the middle of all seas. As proof, God erected an ‘immovable island’, or buoy, at sea level in a straight line from Yonggung.
-buoy… As expected, it is of ‘new’ level, so the size is clear. A buoy the size of an island.
-Of course. Even though it is not connected to the mainland, the island never moves. Just as the Sea God’s crown shines on its own, that island also shines with the Sea God’s power.
“ah…”
“why?”
Shin Nara asked, but Leeha didn’t even have time to answer her.
The place inside the sea area of Yonggung that we must proceed from now is Yonggung! Above the head of the Dragon Palace is the center of the sea, and there is even an island that doesn’t move?
“Hey-! “You don’t have to accept this quest!”
“yes?”
“Ahhhh, ahhhhh!”
Wasn’t that part of the plan from the beginning anyway?
Drake partially erases the typhoon and advances with acceleration skills and more! Whether you take the mermaids with you or leave them behind, you will definitely see an island called ‘Buoy’!
‘No, no, I don’t think so.’
There would have been no information that it was an immobile island.
Additionally, there is no guarantee that it will go to the exact location. This means that if you don’t accept this quest, there is a greater chance that you won’t notice.
Above all, what was the reason for looking for the center of the sea now?
‘We need to build a mana relay tower there.’
But how?
Once you enter the waters of the Dragon Palace, you cannot stop.
You have to take the NPCs and load materials onto a small boat, go to an island called a buoy, and build a relay tower… The Marlin and New-Serpent are unstoppable.
“It looks like you came up with some troubling answers, don’t you think?”
Leeha’s head turned at the voice that asked softly.
A person with a slender build and holding a long cane. Another idea suddenly occurred to me.
“Mr. Hyein.”
“yes?”
“If you can see the place you want to teleport to, even if it’s a place you’ve never been to, you can teleport there, right?”
“Umm… “You have to calculate it in advance, but nothing is impossible.”
“NPCs and mass teleportation?”
“It may consume a lot of mana, but… After all, nothing is impossible.”
“With materials?”
“What are you trying to say?”
Hyein made an ominous expression.
But it was too late. Because Hyein was already actively working in Leeha’s head.
“okay! Gather everyone! First of all, I will pass on what I heard without making a single mistake! “I will tell you what we should do accordingly, starting from the draft.”
“wait for a sec! What is ok?! Leeha!”
He told the expedition members about the plan to build a mana relay tower along with the information he had heard from Sibreem.
From the construction of the Mana Relay Tower, to entering the Dragon Palace, clearing the quest, and returning.
While Leeha was talking, some people were surprised by the idea, while others were worried. Some people just thought they were lucky that they were not selected, while others had sharp eyes shining.
The only thing that was certain was that all plans were uncertain, but no user voiced that anxiety out loud.
Because the die has already been cast.
“Hakit, I heard you’re a great person. “If Leehai were accepted into our guild, there would be many people who would suffer mental illness.”
“What makes me even more upset is that I can’t stop him when he says things like that.”
Biyemi and Kijeong sighed.
“That’s right. I’ve proven it over and over again… Should I call that amazing…”
Hye-in, who was next to him, also had no choice but to agree with Ki-jeong’s words.
