Chapter 91
The Royal Archives? That’s crazy! He should have told me the structure too!!
Leeha wanted to blame Browless, but he can’t help it.
The die has already been cast, and soon Clark will come down the stairs. How could he find it here?
‘Damn it...... How did this happen?’
Only then did Leeha know.
As he went down the stairs, he felt extremely nauseous. The reason for his dizziness must have been because of the effect of this space. Because it was not a flat surface.
It was a space where one couldn’t tell the ceiling from the floor, with countless bookshelves scattered around. Naturally, the collection was piled up, and Leeha had no idea how long it would take to read all of it.
‘There are even bookshelves like this above and below! How am I supposed to move to the bookshelves I see at the bottom of this space?’
‘No, this is not the time to worry about that.’
‘Will 3 hours be enough to find the report? Bullshit! It’s not like I only have to worry about the timing of my escape! I won’t even be able to observe if anyone would be coming’
The sound of footsteps was already starting to come from the stairs above. After a meaningless conversation with Browless, Clark was probably on his way down.
Leeha had to move.
“Damn it...... I’m so scared. If I had phobia of heights, I would have fainted.”
‘I won’t fall if I take a step, would I?’ Leeha took a step. Was Buzz Aldrin’s spacewalk this intense?’
‘Kuooo, shit!’
Taak-!
I’m stepping on it. The floor.
‘What, was this only for visual effect?’
Leeha felt like an idiot for being scared. Leeha lowered his upper body and ran behind the nearby bookshelf and hid.
‘It leaves no footprint. This space...... Maybe it’s a trick?’
Does the Royal Palace, which control a lot of people, especially in the Royal Archives? It means that this place is very important.
Leeha carefully put his head out and looked towards the entrance.
After a while, Clark entered.
He naturally descended the stairs, stepped on the space, and walked down. ‘Under’.
‘Oh my gosh....... Wasn’t this space only for visual effects?’
He was walking with his legs to move forwards, but Clark’s body was moving vertically as if he was riding in an elevator.
It’s not a staircase, what the hell is that? How does that work?
‘I will lose my mind if I stay here for too long. I need to quickly find the report.’
Leeha, who had been dazed for a while, quickly came to his senses. It was a strange place, but he didn’t come to play.
‘However, where is the record on the Human-Demon war......’
He glanced at the top of the bookshelf where he had hidden.
Long names that were difficult to read were written on them.
Judging it ending with Fibiel, it must be about kings.
‘Are these the recorded deeds of the past kings?’
That was not what was important now. Leeha carefully took one step at a time.
The feeling was similar to walking on a glass floor in the air.
Of course, it wasn’t glass, so Leeha was much more nervous than that. What was worse was he couldn’t see where he was stepping into.
‘Human-Demon...... Human......’
Leeha lowered his head from time to time to look through the gaps in the bookshelf or looked around before proceeding.
If anyone found him, it would be over.
How long do I have to walk like this? Only after walking to the point where Leeha couldn’t even see the entrance did he realize his fear of outer space.
It wouldn’t be difficult to sort out monsters that were weak to poison. Leeha didn’t have time to think about it.
‘Anyway, one thing is for sure. This is for users. Most importantly, NPCs do not use the word level.’
As if it was a strategy book.
‘It must be different depending on how you use the information. Some people will just pass this by.’
There will be people who will use the information that is right for them.
After memorizing the information about the monsters, Leeha looked at the author.
Of course, it wasn’t Biyemi.
‘Written by Fernand. The very use of the word level...... this person must also be a user. Alright, first, I need to quickly pick out what I need!’
After memorizing a few places where he could hunt, Leeha opened the next scroll.
West this time? Again, information about the area.
‘The author....... Fernand? The same?’
South?
‘Is the author Fernand as well?’
North too?
‘Written by Fernand? What? Only one person did it all? What kind of madman-’
Ah! Then he remembered. Middle Earth complete map on the home page. It was said that only the parts pioneered by users were revealed except for the first published data.
‘And most of it...... there was a rumor that only one person did it. No one knew their name, but their nickname...... Adventure King!’
A person who roamed around the internet under the name Adventure King.
‘A person who wanders around that only revealed the map, regardless of the quest, level, party or guild. Adventure King, Survival King, Pioneering King ...... the person who received so many nicknames and respect......
That’s Fernand.
Leeha was in a bit of awe. What is the level of this person?
‘Anyway, a reward is a reward. I got the information about the Adventure King for free......’
If they knew the name of Fernand, the internet would be turned upside-down. Of course, he had no intention of doing that.
‘I barely saw it, so it’s okay. Now, let’s move- hmm?’
After looking at the scroll, he put it back in. As he was about to leave, another scroll caught his eyes.
A name that made even Leeha unable to take his eyes off of it.
‘New continent exploration......?’
It was what he saw. With just that much, it was enough!
As he unfolded the scroll, a notification window appeared again. Middle Earth complete map that he had seen before.
‘This is the same as the one that came out before-....... Huh.’
And the estimated area gradually reduced. What was shown in the notification window was an endless sea. A single shiny dot left the continent and navigated the sea.
‘This is the eastern sea of the continent...... have they gone beyond the seas of Kraven Kingdom?’
In the setting, there was the Fibiel Kingdom and Kraven Kingdom that fought at sea.
Although it was a narrow rugged land confined to the southeast of the continent, it was a country that had fostered maritime trade, including fishing, and deep-sea naval forces.
Did those naval forces go beyond their usual areas?
A single dot on the notification window passed through the endless sea over and over again. When the continent was no longer visible on the notification window, a black question mark appeared on the other side.
‘Is that a new continent?’
What other information does it have?
A monster that hadn’t appeared yet? Item? Maybe it’s something like a resource.
Unlike Leeha, whose eyes were twinkling, the twinkling dot on the notification window disappeared.
For a moment, it felt like it was the end. Another notification window appeared in Leeha’s eyes.
