Chapter 287
TL: xLordFifth
ED:
Luger roared in an annoyed tone. Rather than explaining, it was more like saying to not step forward if he didn’t know anything.
“Okay. Then you should kill it. Can you hit it from here?”
“Of course. But I don’t have to shoot it here. I can-”
“You’re saying that you’re not confident. Then shut up, sit down, and watch. There’s no guarantee that only one seeker would show up. Or maybe you should reconsider the location of the usual scouts.”
Leeha cutoff Luger’s words and stood up.
Luger flinched for a moment, but Leeha did not pay attention to him. After taking off his gloves, he took out his Black Bass, spread the bipod and laid down.
Luger, who was about to say something with a frown, did not stop or hinder Leeha’s action.
‘Now- Shishi, you can’t even hit it, right? Leave it to experts.’
Although Luger had more information about the northern trolls, Leeha was proud of himself thinking that he had won against Luger this time.
‘The distance is about 800m. At this level, even Luger could hit it.’
Leeha has also experienced Luger’s weapon.
Of course, he didn’t observe all of the process of loading and firing in detail, but he could infer just by looking at it.
If it was Luger’s [Cobalt Blue Python], which was similar to an anti-tank gun, no matter how heavy and large its ammo is, the range would be close to 1km. It may be because shooting from a close distance increases the destructive power.
However, Leeha thought differently.
‘He must not be confident in his aim! With Kidd and I are watching, he would lose respect if he missed. Kek.’
The northern trolls were as huge as the ogres in the Sentinel Mountains. They were large enough to distiguish their head arms, and legs even from a distance of 800m. Their only difference from normal trolls was their blue skin.
‘Eagle’s Eye.’
Leeha did not even use his scope.
It was somewhat far for the eagle’s eye, but it was enough. The click adjustment was quick, and Leeha’s aiming was quicker.
“Cover your ears.”
“What-”
Baaaaang——–!
Luger frowned and took a step back as soon as the trigger was pulled. Kidd had already covered his ears.
“This bastard-”
“Pheew, headshot, target down.”
Luger, who was approaching Leeha, stopped.
“You hit it?”
“Can’t you see?”
Luger looked for a moment as the troll seeker fell. The muscles on his face twitched for a moment, but neither Leeha nor Kidd saw it.
Meanwhile, Leeha put away the Black Bass. Although Luger was definitely ahead of Leeha when it came to knowledge, after seeing his inferior abilities, Luger had nothing to say.
“Let’s go.”
Luger took the lead again.
“Did you think we won’t if you didn’t say that? Let’s go, Kidd-ssi.”
Leeha called Kidd and followed Luger. Kidd quietly sighed as Leeha pushed his back.
“In many ways....... This is the first time I’ve experienced such a fun quest.”
“What about this is fun? Anyway, I will keep the loot! You found it, but I caught it.”
Leeha spoke to Luger without any expectations. Leeha knew that Luger would tell him to shut up or ignore him anyway, but Luger answered Leeha.
“I don’t need it, so do whatever you want.”
Even though it wasn’t an answer that Leeha liked at all.
“Sheesh. If you can’t speak...”
Leeha kept his mouth shut and headed toward the northern Troll Seeker.
After looting the item from the giant troll with its blood splattered on the frozen soil, the three of them moved again.
“They would if it was just Ha Leeha, but I don’t think they are stupid enough to attack with Luger and Kidd involved. Well, a brown bear that is that ignorant can only be used for carpetng, so whether he gets peeled or not is not of our business. At that time, we just need to think that we will receive a huge amount of support from the Russians Right?”
Once entangled with her, there was no way to get out.
At Chiyou’s words, Sasuke made a look of admiration. From his point of view, there was nothing to lose.
“Ha! I will move right away.”
Sasuke bid farewell and disappeared. Chiyou smiled at the spot where he had disappeared and held the crystal ball in her arms.
“Now, before we catch up further, I need to do some level management.”
She got up from her seat and walked out of the room.
The place that was thought to be a room was actually just one of the secret spaces. This was a huge tavern in Minis. It was privately owned by Chiyou.
“Hey, Chiyou! Come and sit down, I have a question for you.”
“Euung, the division commander really. I already told you during the war. It was the division commander who did not take advantage of the opportunity.”
“S-so. Give me one more chance. Won’t you give me some information so I can make something for myself? Huh? Is there anything else? Please save me.”
Utilization of information, managing intimacy with the NPCs.
It was easy to say, but it wasn’t common. Relationships with NPCs could either be friendly or hostile. Rasing intimacy with all NPCs evenly without leaning on one of them was not something that could be done with simple words and hard work.
“Alright, can you tell the commander-in-chief what I tell you? Because he doesn’t seem to like me very much.”
“O-Of course! Yes, of course! I’ll do try and find out. And if Sir Ewin recognizes me, I’ll put the Viscount Pungdur right away!”
As the division commander NPC got excited, Chiyou covered her mouth with her sleeve. He took the bait.
What kind of story will shake the Minis Kingdom this time?
Chiyou quickly organized the information she collected and created a story. The way a ‘Dancer’ accumulate experience is also Middle Earth-like.
She opened her mouth slowly and in a low voice only after shooing away the people around the division commander.
“During the war, there must have been a defender who conspired with Fibiel on the invasion route along the Witchmore Riverside. I heard that the reason we were quickly invaded in this war was because of that person......
“I-Is that true?”
There was no need for proof in a class society.
With some context and information, a lie becomes a fact. NPCs take advantage of that fact, and when the result comes out, her experience will go up.
The calculations were already done in Chiyou’s head.
Ten days at most, from the execution of the commoner class NPC, the commander of the defenses, to the recognition of the meritorious work of the division commander. In ten days, 30% of her experience points will fill up at once.
“There’s a lot.”
“It is their village. It makes to have a lot of them.”
“No, no, it’s not that much, I have been to Kobold and Orc villages a few times, but this isn’t this on a different level?”
Leeha and Kidd hid themselves and looked at the northen troll village with only their eyes peeking out. Luger was confident of his ability.
From the access road where abnormal status started, to the entrance of the village, they succeeded in avoiding the eyes of the guards who were scattered all over the place.
‘As soon as I saw the guards, I thought he would roll over and run away, but he is quite meticulous.’
Leeha glanced at Luger, who was watchig the trolls, beside Kidd.
Even when Leeha caught the seeker, no even at the academy, he spoke as if he would wipe them out right away. However, after entering the northern troll area and seeing the village, he was relatively calmm.
“Luger, aren’t there other guards coming here? Then, if we hide for a week, the quest will be completed.”
“Right now it’s pattern 3.”
“Hmm, are you saying the position of the seekers change for each pattern?”
“Don’t ask if you know.”
Luger didn’t even look at Leeha. Leeha murmurred.
“Kidd has a strange way of speaking, but this is even worse.”
“What?”
“Nothing? Did you hear anything?”
Kidd laughed as Leeha shook his head
The three of them looked at the northern troll area again, with the northern troll village n the center. It was natural that they were large, and everyone’s armed condition was not normal.
‘Even things like kobolds and orcs have different jobs. They were weak compared to other monsters, so they made up for what they lacked through the division of labor. But these......
All the trolls had crossbows.
