Chapter 179
He couldn’t say anything as he looked at Kidd who was scratching his cheek. If he could just keep his mouth open, it would have been fine.
In order to not show his surprise, he knew that he had to maintain a poker face, however, his body did not follow.
“How......?”
“What do you mean how?”
“How can there be a revolver? Revolver- no, wait. Something doesn’t make sense.”
Leeha’s confused head wasn’t in order. After the battle, Leeha saw Kidd tidying up. He took the ‘case’.
“Middle Earth- isn’t it in the 17th century? Doesn’t it look a lot like the 18th century? But a revolver involves a ‘primer’, which means it should have at least ‘mini-ethane’, in addition to the ‘steel wire system’ which must be built?! Isn’t that advanced technology-”
“Are you saying that even after witnessing Luger?”
“-no......”
Kidd shook his head, asking what he was talking about.
Right. It had already been confirmed through Luger that there were gunpowder bullets, rather than simple iron or lead bullets.
Aside from the armor-piercing rounds, it was because he was using the form of a ‘grenade’.
It had to be acknowledged that it went beyond the level of simply using a primer.
“When it comes to advanced technology, Luger’s gun is of advanced technology. [Crimson Geckos] is nothing compared to [Cobalt Blue Python]”
“[Cobalt Blue Python]?”
“That is the name of Luger’s weapon.”
A cobalt blue color that could only be seen in the deepest part of the lake.
If Kidd’s weapon was ‘Crimson Gecko’, then Luger’s weapon was a ‘Cobalt Python’.
“Right, Luger! Why was it in the musket form when you fought Luger? They looked the same, but every 5 seconds-”
“It’s a skill.”
“Huh?”
“At that time, I had zero mana, and got hit by Luger.”
“Ah...”
Kidd’s explanation was quick, but Leeha could understand how his musket was used. However, if he used the skill, did it feel like the weapons were transformed with the power of ‘advanced technology’?
‘At that time, he couldn’t use the skill because he didn’t have any MP. So, it meant that he could only use it as a normal musket.’Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com
In other words, even though reloading four musket-pistols every 5 seconds was quite surprising to Leeha, from Kidd’s perspective, it was so slow that it could not really be called [Rapid Fire].
Because if he used his skill and changed them into a revolver, he could easily shoot 24 rounds within 5 seconds.
“Then, what about me? What will happen to my weapon? [Black Bess]. Will it also transform when I use a skill?”
“I don’t know either. You’ll find out once you complete the quest. This is the first time I heard the name, Black Bess.”
Kidd nodded with his expression saying yes.
“Cough, I shouldn’t have told you. No, you guys have reptiles...... they’re snake-related names, why is mine, Bess? I thought it was Bess from Elizabeth...”
A gecko is a lizard, and a python is a snake. But what about Bess?
The name of a fish?
“Are you asking me?”
“Phew, no. It was frustrating, so I thought about it for a bit.”
Leeha sighed heavily. Right, it was not a question that could be answered by asking Kidd. After he completed the quest, Leeha would hear it from Browless.
However, after seeing Luger and Kidd’s ridiculous skills, he was embarrassed and only spoke little.
‘[Pierce] and [Rapid Fire]....... I wondered how it works, and it’s thanks to ridiculous technology.’
From the technological point of view, it was huge, but in terms of lethality and other aspects, it was nothing short of impossible.
Anyway, this was Middle Earth. It was a game where there were people who could fly in the sky, summon blizzards, drop thunderbolts, and rule over space.
Compared to that, a revolver seemed cute.
‘Was the Three Musketeers like this in the past? Director Browless-’
Leeha remembered the words he spoke in the Academy.
As his business was over, Kidd, who was preparing to leave, and Browless seemed to overlap.
“Ahh...... rescue, I see. Rescue.” What kind of rescue was it that you were hiding until now?!
When the word ‘rescue’ was emphasized, Jacheong had an embarrassed expression.
Leeha knew that Jacheong was not an idiot. And that was fortunate.
“What would happen if Ram Hwayeon found out that I caught you like this?”
“Hmm?”
“If I told her that I don’t trust Hwahong and we can no longer be on the same side...... It wouldn’t be good, right?”
When Leeha said it with a sly smile,
Jacheong’s eyes widened.
As Leeha predicted, Jacheong was not stupid. There was no way he would not understand what Leeha’s words meant.
It wasn’t just an issue with strength. What if Ha Leeha, who Ram Hwayeon and Ram Hwajeong were ‘fond of’, thinks badly of Hwahong and distanced himself from them? What if it became Jacheong’s fault?
‘I would become a real X!’
It wasn’t just a problem in Middle Earth. His position in the Ramlong group would also be......!
Jacheong rummaged through his bag and quickly approached Leeha.
“Ha, haha, of course, there’s no way that would be good, Ha Leeha-nim! Ah, is there anything you need? It would be a big deal if Czar came again and disturbed Ha Leeha-nim. For now, there are a few scrolls that could let you return to Dale Castle immediately- and-”
Jacheong took out an item from his bag.
“Hey, what is this...... It’s okay, it’s okay.”
“Haha, please take it. Please take it.”
“Forget it, I don’t need that, keep it.”
“Please, please, please accept it, Ha Leeha-nim.”
Jacheong was almost begging as he held Leeha’s hands.
Leeha quietly refused while saying, ‘you shouldn’t do this’, pretending to refuse, and stuffing it into his bag.
“If you ever need anything- call me whenever you come to Dale Castle.”
“Jacheong-nim is busy. Even if I ask for help, you wouldn’t have the time.”
“What are you talking about? Director- no Ram Hwayeon-nim and other members of Hwahong are grateful to Ha Leeha-nim. I would clear my schedule and come to help.”
As Jacheong said this with a smile, Leeha smiled as well. Alright, good.
“Then I have one request.”
“What? Yes! Tell me!”
Leeha remembered Elizabeth’s quest. There was a hint of how Browless would proceed.
He said he would aim at a target the size of an adult male at a distance of 444m.
It would be good if the target was a monster, but wouldn’t the efficiency improve if it was a ‘real’ target
However, it was impossible to explain all of this to Jacheong.
Although he walked together with Hwahong, they did not share everything. Even more so, it was not a direct conversation with Ram Hwayeon and Ram Hwajeong.
After much deliberation, Leeha’s ‘request’ was quite simple.
“Give me your head.”
“......What?”
“Give me a head, to shoot.”
“What? I understand-”
“Literally. Don’t you like it?” Don’t you like it? What? Jacheong could not understand Leeha’s words at all.
Give a head? Shoot? Jacheong moved his head quickly, but the words that followed....
“Hey, if you don’t like it, there’s nothing I can do about it. Is Ram Hwayeon still in Dale Castle?”
When Jacheong tilted his head and did not answer, Leeha’s expression fell. In such a situation, Jacheong only had one choice.
“Ahhh! Ahhhh!! I’ll do it! I will do it! Head or whatever! I will!”
And he realized that his thoughts on Ha Leeha were quite wrong.
He thought he had a lot of talent, but he was kind and stupid, but what the hell was that devilish threat!
