Chapter 504

“What?!”

“W-what’s going on?”

“Oh, no—it’s nothing. “I’m sorry, Cardinal.”

Lee Ha had to hastily apologize to the cardinal. The Vatican, without even realizing it! Kid’s words were so surprising that I almost screamed.

-What does that mean? Luger is dead? To whom? why?

-I don’t know either. But... isn’t there some suspicion?

-What did you say you were doing? Are you saying he died while hunting?

-Haaah, you don’t remember?

Kid sighed as Leeha made a mistake.

As frustrating as it was, it was the same as below. What on earth is going on with Luger? At least since Leeha met Luger, I have never heard of his death.

How dare he die so suddenly? Kid knows that too?

-What is it! Say it quickly!

―Recall what Luger last said he was doing.

-If it’s the last time... When the three of us parted – uh, I mean, after coming out of the underground city, I guess –

Leeha’s footsteps suddenly stopped.

The cardinal who was ahead turned his head.

“Gwae, are you okay? If you have any pain anywhere, please tell me. I don’t have the same divine power as His Holiness, but it will alleviate some of the pain...”

Leeha’s face was distorted enough to make the Cardinal worry. At this moment, Leeha was able to perfectly share Kid’s anxiety.

When you parted ways with Luger, what were the last words you heard from him?

‘He said he was going to find the magic bullet.... the magic bullet gunner.’

And now, he is dead.

Could a normal monster from the New World be able to kill him? It won’t be easy since you have teleportation and return scrolls.

PK due to space locking?

Due to Luger’s personality, there may be quite a bit of resentment here and there, but it is unlikely that something like that will happen deep in the New World.

Of course, the possibilities had to be narrowed down to one.

‘...I found it.’

The person who killed Luger was the magic gunner.

To put it another way, Luger was found. The magic gunner. Lee Ha chewed his lips.

* * *

-You found it.

-It is reasonable to think so.

There was a reason why Kid’s voice was stiff.

Not long ago, Lee Ha also confirmed the location of the three musketeers. I remembered where Kid was and where Luger was.

The thought came to mind and Leeha immediately asked Kid.

―If you trace the area from where Luger was yesterday morning, you will probably see―

―No. I know the last place.

―...What does that mean? You saw Luger’s last known location?

Luger’s final location, i.e. the place of Luger’s death. Where is that place? This is where 《Magic Bullet》 is located.

Leeha asked, but Kid did not answer.

―Kid...d?

-I’ll go first.

-Now, wait a minute! Where?! You should at least tell me the place! And by what means? What do you mean you’re going alone? I heard Luger is dead!

―You don’t remember the time with Rhinodilo? It is natural that he would have died while running wild alone. I don’t.

-No, wait a minute! It’s not something to think about so easily――

Then that’s enough.

―Kid! Kid!

Lee Ha gave strength to the whisper, but there was no further response from Kid.

The following thought for a moment. If you use the Three Musketeers’ chain teleport, you can immediately go to Kid’s side.

Should I fly like that?

The well-categorized, like a large supermarket, may also be the reason why the place looks spacious.

Below, I started looking for items.

From what Ju had told me, there were two items recommended to me as the most necessary items. What else is useful?

* * *

“It sure looks nice. “It’s sorted by grade.”

After briefly seeing a few rare items right after entering the door, there were heroic items lined up on the left and right of the passage Leeha was currently walking through.

Even if I turn my head to the left, I can’t see the wall clearly. Even when I turn my head to the right, I can’t see the wall.

No matter which of the two you went into, the 7-tier shelves were crammed with items. I couldn’t even remember how many shelves and corners I had passed by.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that there was every weapon, every armor, and every accessory suitable for every occupation that existed in Middle Earth.

‘It’s crazy, really. Since there are so many Hero level and above – I guess that means if you go a little further, there will also be Legendary level. No, maybe...’

There may be items that have only been seen once so far. The following recalled the item that revived Blaugrun.

Mythic level item, Easter egg.

There may be other items with ridiculous abilities like Easter eggs.

Plus, isn’t it much easier to find?

What if they are displayed by grade like this?

There is no need to rummage through items in front. All you have to do is run to the back and pick up the item. Of course, their level will be the highest.

“Okay, leave everything aside in front! “Let’s search from behind, too!”

The following ran. Regardless of stamina. Until you reach the end! On and on, on and on!

But there was no end. It doesn’t matter because you can run even if your stamina is completely depleted, but what happened below was absurd.

‘...This big?’

Run and run again.

The shelves passing by next to me were strangely hypnotic.

Pure white floor, pure white ceiling, shelves of the same size lined up at equal intervals, and endless items on each shelf... No matter how much I ran, I kept seeing the same scene.

Even if I ran while looking left and right, the strange thing was the same.

Clearly, the items glanced at in front of the shelf were changing. It’s not like I’m running in place, so what on earth is going on?

“No, I’m going to die. What is this?”

After running for a while, Lee Ha eventually had no choice but to stop for a moment.

Does it make sense to say that there is no end? No matter how Middle Earth is, there must be limits to space.

Leeha suppressed his irritation and picked up an item on the shelf in front of him.

〈Unbreakable knife treated with rare magic alloy〉

Attack power: 670 ~ 680

Category: Melee, one-handed weapon

Effect: Dexterity + 11, critical strike rate increased by 19%, 〈Explosion〉 activation with a certain probability

Requirements: Strength 250 or more , Dexterity 800 or higher

Description: A knife made of material treated with magic alloy. Even if you stab it into a stone golem, the blade does not break, and thanks to the magic treatment engraved on the sword’s face, explosive magic is sometimes activated. In addition to its extremely practical use as it requires no repair costs, it is also a popular knife on the black market due to its high aesthetic value.

“Eh?”

The dagger engraved with unrecognizable patterns confused Lee Ha’s head.

Rare level? Suddenly it’s rare? The rare items came in and disappeared before even passing 10 shelves. Everything I checked after that was hero level?!

‘Nonsense. Now, rare levels are coming out again? If you’re going to mix them up, why did you categorize them like this?

For a moment, Leeha’s spine tingled. Mix it? That can’t be possible. Lee Ha looked back.

“Aha... That’s how it comes out.”

The golden door I first entered was right nearby.

I walked a little further forward and looked at the items. Some dogs definitely looked familiar. Because it was an item I had checked earlier.

‘It’s a concept like a round trip ticket. No, it’s still the Vatican, but it’s so cruel!’

If you run towards the end, you will end up back at the beginning!

Is this a lesson to not be overly greedy and to find what you want appropriately?

If you get greedy here, you will only waste a lot of stamina and get nothing.

Lee Ha nodded and walked leisurely. Kid’s position was the same as before.

Because I know that Leeha will chase after me if I move rashly, I will not go straight to Luger’s final location unless Leeha logs out.
