Chapter 217

“Are you going to sell all of this?”

“Yes.”

“I-I can’t afford this with the money we have in the store-”

“Ah! It’s okay, just give me as much as you have. Give me as much money, potions, scrolls, and whatever you have on you to me.”

“Y-yes, understood. Understood.”

The merchant NPC crouched and opened the supply box behind the tent. They were not in a big city, even the NPCs did not carry a lot of money. After all, this place was a lawless area. “Cheer up, audience! Isn’t hanging out with clowns a special experience?

Wahahaha!”

“Those bastards didn’t even listen to me when I asked for a duel!”

The man heard noises while waiting for the merchant. The man frowned as he heard cheers of users from afar.

“......Another pointless fight. They should just level up.”

The man looked at them as if they were pathetic.

Of course, he knew that the rampaging people were from the Midnight Circus.

“Hmm-”

However, who was their victim this time? The man frowned. He could clearly see who the clowns were targeting.

Luger? N-no. Luger was a blonde. Well, what is that? Who is it?”

He looked at the man, to be more accurate, he was looking at the long weapon he was holding.

As far as the man knew, there was only one person in Middle Earth who used such a weapon, and the person he knew of was a different person.

“Right, it’s a trial version. This bastards. Delicate Hand Movement, Snipe, Soul Link!”

Waaak-!

A red light suddenly exploded out of nowhere. The light was enough to make even the man frown for a moment.

‘Ooh-lala, he summoned a bear. A bea – no, isn’t that a field boss?’

Impossible. Field bosses were not normal monsters!

The man already knew that they cannot be tamed or summoned. However, whoever the Midnight Circus’ target was did it.

‘That’s like a summoner’s hidden weapon-.’

Even before he could finish thinking about it, the ‘long weapon’ the man had been paying close attention to made a noise.

Baaang—!

With that one sound, the life of one of the clowns ended.

“-not! T-that...... Luger’s gun? No, it can’t be...... Who is he?”

That was what caught the man’s attention. The battle with the clowns, which he considered useless, suddenly became interesting.

‘No, it’s different. It’s not just the hair color. The color of the item is different. Luger’s is

blue.’

Luger’s looked more like a cannon than a gun.

The thickness and length were also different. The one used by the unknown man was easy to see, and it was thinner and shorter than Luger’s.

‘It was a familiar move to handle guns, but he’s not very familiar with one-on-one combat. Well, it’s bound to happen if you’re not used to fighting against the clowns of the Midnight Circus...... still, the close combat reaction is a bit slow- compared to Luger, it’s a little embarrassing.’

The man carefully watched the battle between Leeha and the clowns.

He was similar to Luger, but he inferior to Luger in combat ability and all other aspects. However, one thing was different.

There was one thing that caught the man’s interest.

‘How did he summon the field boss? If he has the same profession as Luger, then he must be a musketeer....... And with a reload like that, it’s no longer a musket. It feels more like a K2. There’s no other profession that could get that kind of weapon......

A summoner’s skill and a musketeer’s weapon. Either one was clearly not job-related.

‘Does he also have pistols?! That’s Kidd- right, that gun is job-related, he is definitely a musketeer. Then!’

It meant that summoning the field boss was a special skill!

The man realized that it was something attached to an item or achievement.

“Break it? Will you break it? Uhihihi!”

“Contact the ringmaster now!”

The battle was already over. The clowns of the Midnight Circus surrounded the shield.

After the shield’s duration was over, he would no longer have the opportunity to talk with the person who summoned the field boss, whether he ran away or died.

In the end, the man took actionfirst.

“Hey, clowns.”

“Hmm?” “Huh?”

“Get lost, I have something to ask him.”

And then he drew out a black sword. Not only the users around them, but also the clowns of Midnight Circus widened their eyes.

“Oh, ooh- oooh”

“T-t-t-that!”

“M-M-Magic Swordsman Lee Jiwon!”

Magic Swordsman Lee Jiwon, 2nd in the world ranking, appeared in Siand Frontier.

“Puhu, puhu, Lee Jiwon! Lee Jiwon!”

“So easy! It’s also easy to take care of you, easy!”Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

Leeha looked around the cave and took a map out of his bag. The place did not appear on the map he bought from Hell Anvil. They were somewhere in an unexplored area.

‘Right. He has a personality that annoyed people.’

His nickname was indicative of that.

After hearing the news that his gap with the number one in ranking had narrowed, numerous organizations wanted to interview him and they actually did.

How did you level so quickly? Was it difficult?

There’s a lot of talk about the control of magic for swordsmen, but do you think the difficulty is high?.

What are your thoughts on Alexandor? Are you confident about winning against him?

To all the questions asked by all kinds of group, Lee Jiwon only had one thing to say.

‘Too easy!’

It was lazy and indiferrent, but the world went crazy for the short answer that exuded so much confidence.

Some people called it charisma, and some called it arrogance, but at least the short answer had a strong impact.

Thanks to that answer, his relationship with the number one ranker, Alexander, became even worse, so how fun it must have been for the onlookers?

‘I thought he was trying to create a concept on purpose to gain popularity or something, but I guess that wasn’t the case.’

After looking around and glancing at Lee Jiwon to grasp the atmosphere, Leeha became curious again. What was the reason Lee Jiwon talked to him? What did he want to talk about?.

“There...... hmm......” About your skill earlier.”

“Skill?”

“The field boss you summoned.”

“Ah, that.”

Lee Jiwon scratched his head.

“Tell me about it.”

“......What?”

What was this all of a sudden? Leeha was dumbfouded!

When Leeha made such an expression, Lee Jiwon talked again.

“I mean the brown bear you summoned.” That. Please tell me. How did you do it?

Your job is a musketeer isn’t it?.”

“No, well...... How did I do it......”

It usually wasn’t polite to ask questions like this.

Doesn’t acquiring skills in Middle Earth have to be done through collecting information through research, or by completing hidden quests?

In other words, it meant that all things related to certain skills are kept a secret. You have to discover it yourself.

“Aren’t you going to tell me?”

“You usually don’t tell these kinds of things to strangers, do you?”

“Didn’t I just save you?”

“I appreciate that, but I should have been able to escape on my own. Using a scroll would have been enough.”

“What?”

You’re lying Lee Jiwon, I could save myself! Leeha had an expression that seemed to say that. Is he a little over 20 years old now?

Leeha could not hide his surprise as he looked at Lee Jiwon’s face, he had a young face that could be in his early 20’s or even in his late teens. How ridiculous was it to have a face like that?

‘It wasn’t that he is annoyed with people, can it be that his communication skills are very poor in the first place?’

Maybe the reason why Ram Hwajeong didn’t speak much was that she was shy.

But Lee Jiwon talked quite a bit, but it seemed he just didn’t take into consideration other people’s feelings at all

In any case, it could be said that Middle Earth geniuses might be people who all have at least one screw missing.

“Cough, then- Uhhhm......”

“Well, I guess I can tell you about it because we’re both Korean.” (editor- “really ( ≖_≖ )” )

“Oh? You’re Korean?”

“Yes. I am Ha Leeha.”

“Ha Leeha! Your nickname is unique.”

Leeha thought Lee Jiwon might know about the Rising Sun or Hwahong vs. Byeolcho, but his reaction told him otherwisel.

‘He’s crazy about hunting, so he doesn’t have any interest in others.’

The reason Leeha said that was because he wanted to suggest some kind of trade. Although Leeha currently only had the Soul Link skill in Middle Earth, there were limitations in using and obtaining it anyway.

So, what other ways could he use the skill?

“It’s my real name...... Anyway. I’ll tell you about the skill, so can I ask you a few questions?”

“Yea sure sure, anything.”

“Do you know where Fernand is?”

In any case, he was second in the ranking, wouldn’t that mean that he had been to hunting grounds that no human have ever touched before?

And because of that, Leeha thought that Lee Jiwon knew something that even the Intelligence Guildsdidn’t know.

“Fernand..... You mean that Indiana Jones guy? I saw him around four or five days ago...”

“Where was he?”

The first question was a very big deal.
