Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] - Chapter 469

What should I do to increase my intimacy faster than those two people? As my mind became more anxious, my head stopped working properly.

“Um… what is there? Wouldn’t it be better to do something like cleaning first? Cleaning up the village?”

[Kyuuuu, kyuuuu.]

Blaugrun shook his head.

“Woah, it doesn’t look that good to Mr. Blaugrun either, does it? then? Do I also have a hunting quest? “I might be able to do it as fast as Luger.”

[Kyuuuu….]

“Ah! Shall I help with that construction? “Don’t you think we can move it quickly if Mr. Blaugrun and I invite the little boy to Gelapon?”

At this point, it was a feast of harsh words.

Blaugrun flapped his wings and hovered above Leeha’s head. The untransformed gorillas Paleo were staring blankly at Leeha.

Compared to his appearance after transformation, which boasts a sturdy physique, he looks extremely shabby. Lee Ha thought it was funny because he had a passing resemblance to the ugly Harhei.

[Kkyun! Kyungwoo, Kyungwoo!]

“Ah… yes.”

As I watched the gorillas Paleo gathering one by one, like spectators, something suddenly occurred to me.

―Nara! Can I ask you one thing?

After knocking on the stone bridge, Lee and I completed the verification until the very end.

After a while, Lee Ha, who was standing in the middle of the street in Gorilla Paleo’s underground city, started walking around the city with a smile on his face.

[Kyuuu! Wow!]

Leeha laughed happily, and the Gorilla Paleos were intrigued, but as expected, their favorite creature was Blaugrun.

Kugugugugu….

The vibrations of the earth once again shook Luger’s legs. Now it was possible to roughly guess just the intensity of the vibration.

It was already 9 hours, and the sun was just about to set on Erica’s New Continent.

“Get ready. In a moment—”

“I guess there will be seven or eight.”

“-…indeed. Is it possible to learn that kind of knowledge across the sea? It’s been quite a while, but I can already guess the number of Rhinodilos. We, too, can only figure out the exact numbers after several years of training…”

“Not all humans across the sea are the same.”

Slam!

Luger took his stance by inserting the shot put. In the distance, a gorilla Paleo was busily running here and there.

“I am special. 〈Strengthening Artillery: Plain Fire Artillery〉.”

Quack, quack, quack!

It was the Rhinodilos that bounced around, making the dirt overflow like a fountain.

Booooooo─────────Op!

The sound like a boat horn could not be heard until the end.

Not only because of the huge roar that covered his cries, but also because there was a shell that completely destroyed his stomach, preventing him from crying any more.

“Huh, there are eight of them. Good, good. Come on, call me more, come on! “Thirteen more to come!”

There was nothing to regret about Luger.

Gorilla Paleo helps with aggro, and experience points also increase, although only to a small extent!

It was a shame to have to give all the looting items to Gorilla Paleo, but that was nothing to Luger.

The eight Rhinodilos chased after the gorilla Paleo, who had awakened them from their sweet sleep, but before they could even approach, they were killed by Luger’s cannonballs one by one.

“That’s amazing. “I can’t believe our weapons have advanced so much before we know it.”

“Don’t compare it to that primitive bow. Don’t you know that the shape is completely different? Moreover, the difference in destructive power is beyond imagination. “Your arrows are at best as big as bullets from Kid’s revolver.”

Luger snorted, but Paleo, the eldest gorilla, with whom he had already become quite close, just snorted in the same way.

“Hmph, don’t ignore us. “If only our friends would give us weapons, we could become stronger.”

“Leeha! Even if you don’t know who that friend is, it’s a guess. Do you know how many 《Cobalt Blue Python》 there are? How much more so you guys—”

“Ah! Come to think of it, I think I saw something similar to this 20 years ago. Um, um. “Maybe I thought you guys were our ‘friends.’”

Kwahiah ah ah ─────────!

One shell from Luger flew, but failed to hit Rhinodillo. Considering that it was only 500 meters away, the hit rate was unusual.

“…what? “What did you see?”

This is because my concentration was completely broken by what my older brother gorilla Paleo said just now.

* * *

“You saw something similar to this? “20 years ago?”

Luger adjusted his posture. Helping the cobalt blue python be seen by its older brother, the gorilla Paleo.

It had been shown many times over the course of several hours, but it was a gesture asking me to take a good look at it one more time.

The older gorilla Paleo looked at Luger’s weapon closely.

“No, it’s a little different. Hmm, but there certainly seemed to be some similarities…”

“Remember straight, ape.”

“simian?”

“Oh, no. Big brother. “Remember it clearly.”

When the older gorilla Paleo tilted his head, Luger fired, but in the current situation, it is Luger who is overwhelming.

In other words, if Kidna and younger have seen this scene, it will be a scene they can make fun of for a long time.

While listening to Luger’s request, Paleo, the eldest gorilla, snorted “ummm” as if trying to remember, but the answer Luger wanted did not come easily.

“Woohoooooo──────! Hurry up and shoot! hurry!”

It may also have been due to the cries of Paleo, another gorilla, heard from afar.

Paleo, the gorilla who was still being chased by Rhinodillo, waved his arms and called out to Luger and his older brother.

“…It’s so annoying.”

Luger straightened his stance again and took aim at Rhinodillo. With such an important matter in front of me, I have to kill that monster!

Kwahiah ah ah ─────────!

As if to vent his frustration, the Ruger’s shell passed right through Rhinodillo’s neck.

Yellow body fluid poured out from the Rhinodilo, which had almost completely followed the gorilla Paleo.

“Ugh! Tsk tsk tsk tsk!”

Gorilla Paleo was drenched in bodily fluids as if showered, and was whimpering. I had to pay the price for my actions out of anger.

“Did you really have to shoot like that, Luger?”

“The aim- hmm, the aim was a little off. “I’m sorry.”

The eldest gorilla Paleo’s brow twitched.

Just by hearing his stern voice, I could tell that the intimacy I had raised by completing the quest had been reduced to some extent.

Since the intimacy level for each animal was set to a certain degree, the task of catching only 13 more animals increased to 17.

‘I got to take one more tick, damn it. I thought I’d finish it in two hours…’

The only time there were thirty Rhinodillos was the first time the Three Musketeers went on a rampage.

Now that we know that more than ten do not appear at once, the difference between four is that we have to wait for one more regen.

It seems that temper was the last thing that held him back.

“20 years ago, it would have been when the Demon King Army came here.”

“Well, yes. They passed right over this land. If our friends hadn’t helped us 50 years ago, we would have been wiped out. “Because there were people who made even the Guardian God feel scared – no, nervous.”

Luger tilted his head while listening to the story of his older brother, the gorilla Paleo.

“So there was someone inside there with a weapon similar to this?”

“Hmm… Well, I don’t remember exactly. “I’m saying it’s probably like that.”

The older gorilla, Paleo, spoke in a low voice as if he was not confident.

When I said no, it was as if I was forcing myself to say it because I was embarrassed to go back on what I had said before.

But those words made Luger’s mind even more complicated.

‘Damn, I almost know that ‘friend’ is Kaztor, but I don’t know his position. 50 years ago, you helped these monkey babies, and 20 years ago, you came with the Demon Lord? No. If that’s the case, then Kaztor is on the demon’s side. There’s no way these guys were afraid of the Demon King’s army at the time.’

Considering that they said they would have been annihilated and that ‘made them tremble with fear’ was quickly changed to ‘made them nervous’, it is highly likely that the Gorilla Paleos were opposing the Demon King’s army.

‘Of course, the ones who made the monkey guy who looked like he had his face crushed were Gibrid and Pyroth-Cochri… Those so-called spirit creatures are quite strong, but they probably can’t be defeated by the Demon King’s pieces.’

In addition, I learned that the combat power of each spirit is slightly different.

They say that the strong one is at the level of an ancient dragon, but the weak one is not even close to an adult dragon.

In Luger’s opinion, there was no way Harhei, who was ugly, was an ancient.

‘So Kaztor came to the New World separately from the Demon King’s army? Then what is this weapon that resembles the cobalt blue python?’

Coo coo coo coo coo….!

It was a stroke of luck for Luger that the vibration rang once again.

‘good. The faster the regeneration, the faster you can complete the quest. Hehe, first of all, I’ll have to be satisfied with getting information that’s one step ahead of the idiots and idiots.’

Having one more puzzle piece to put together is a huge benefit.

When Kaztor’s Laboratory No. 7 opens, he will be able to attack first while Kid and Leeha are confused.

Luger smiled and inserted the shell again.

Of course, Luger was not the only one who had this thought.

* * *

“So… a ‘friend’ from 50 years ago spread that incredible technology to Harhei and Paleo people?”

“Yes, yes! Ukit, my ability is the ‘joy of labor’, and there were times when I was exploited by other spirit creatures, but thanks to that friend coming, we were able to establish a new home in the vast underground, and end my life of being persecuted by other spirit creatures. “I could.”

“Plus the space movement skill – no, it even spreads magic…”

“Ukit, Ukit! It was something simple. Compared to other spirit creatures, I didn’t have much to pass on to my children! What I did for him wasn’t much, but he did everything for us. Did you feel some kind of kinship with us? Ukit, Ukit… That friend is like a lifesaver.”

Ugly Harhei’s voice became increasingly gloomy.

Kid took out another shiny piece of gold from his bag and handed it to Harhei. That alone immediately heightened his cries.

“Ugh! Ukiit!”

Whenever Harhei received a precious metal artifact, he immediately used it to decorate himself.

Because of the different sizes, the usage was a little different, but when he received a gold bracelet, he put it on his finger, and when he received a piece of gold, he put it between his strong hair.

Of course, that didn’t make it look cool.

It only makes the shabby appearance more unsightly.

‘Is that all a hint?… I can’t believe I feel sympathy for a life of persecution. Anyone can tell that they are a ‘dark elf’ race.’

The story Leeha heard from the dark elf elder was also heard by Kid and Luger.

Dark elves, a poor race who were misunderstood, persecuted, and forced to travel far, far away to unexplored lands.

Among the Old World NPC races, the only race that can identify with such things are the dark elves. Naturally, when considering a specific individual, the probability that it is Kaztor has increased exponentially.

Kaztor said that he ran away from the village to clear up misunderstandings among the Dark Elf race, conduct accurate research, and make the race members free and happy.

‘Should we say that he escaped at least 100 years ago, wandered around the Old World for 50 years, conducted research, and after 50 years estimated the location of the New World, succeeded in arriving there?’

There was no need to say that it was amazing.

NPCs of any race could not even think of a new continent, so how on earth did they identify this place and move there?

‘At the time, I would say he already had mana management skills above that of a dragon. The statement that he used mana to shape a dragon and showed it to them also seems to be a hint that there was some contact between Kaztor and the dragon at the time. Of course, such a ‘show’ could have been done just to interest them, but…’

The relationship between Kaztor and the dragon is unknown.

The only thing that could be certain was that the man from 50 years ago was as strong as a dragon.

The dark elves, who couldn’t even find a proper ship, must have used mana to come here, and Kid also knows that that would only be possible with the ‘Ancient-class Gold Dragon Bailipus’.

What did it feel like?

Kid imagined Kaztor for a moment.

There would have been as much knowledge as mana. Because it was a setting that could be called a ‘genius’ even within the dark elf village.

What kind of research did you do when you came to the New World?

Did they come here because some kind of research was needed, and did they show such mercy because they felt a sense of kinship with the gorilla paleo people?

‘Have mercy… Mercy? Is it really out of mercy? Or…’

Kid looked at Harhei, who was smiling happily. And asked.

“What did Harhei do for your friend?”

“Ukit?! Nothing was done. I just gave him the place he wanted and occasionally helped him when he asked for help. “I am so lucky to have been given such a large underground space and all kinds of skills in return.”

“Sometimes when you ask for help, what does that friend want?”

“…Ukit!”

“Oh, no. I think it was a pointless meddling. sorry.”

When Harhei frowned, Kid also quickly lowered his head.

Personal intimacy cannot be confirmed numerically unless it reaches 100% and a notification window appears.

However, a rough estimate was possible due to the long life in Middle Earth.
