ED:

Fernand rummaged through his bag and pulled out a map. It wasn’t a map of each country like Leeha or other users had. It was a map that Fernand had pioneered himself, a special continental edition that he literally created and was the only one on Middle Earth.

‘That’s crazy. What is the size of-’

It looked like there were only a few folds, however, it unfolded endlessly. As it unfolded, expanded, and grew in size, the map grew larger than most mats, and Fernand jumped on the map and marked three directions.

“I don’t know exactly about the East. It’s hard to get the specific location, unlike the others which I could feel within range.”

In the north, the place marked was beyond the Shazrasian Federation in the northern troll area where the Three Musketeers had gone.

In the southwest, the place marked was in a spot that was both inside and outside Minis’ border.

And in the west, Leeha could read the word wasteland which was encircled.

‘Land of the Dead....... Isn’t that where Luger first discovered Bluebeard?’

Browless nodded as he looked at the places Fernand marked.

Did that mean that much would be enough? However, the harvest was much better than farming on the bare ground using one’s head.

“Gentlemen.”

“Yes!”

Browless called while looking at the Three Musketeers. And at that moment, a notification window appeared before their eyes again.

[You have completed the quest ‘Demon Noble “Bluebeard” Count Le – 1’.]

[Demon Noble “Bluebeard” Count Le – 2]

Explanation: ‘I think it would be right to search using the forces of the Human Alliance, but that’s not possible right now. Unless a peace treaty has been signed, the operation of the troops will only raise suspicions among countries. In the name of His Holiness, the Pope, I will try to persuade the king to conclude the peace treaty. Gentlemen...... the energy of Bluebeard can be felt throughout the continent.

Browless wants to dispatch one of the Three Musketeers to each direction to collect information.

You can select one: North, Southwest, or West

Content: Obtain Bluebeard’s location or information on the Demon Noble Corps, (The region will be automatically removed if chosen by another user).

Reward: Demon Noble “Bluebeard” Count Le – 3

Condition for Failure: Death

Penalty for failure: Achievement – ‘Beginning of the Fall’

Additional Reward: 5 stat points for the first user to clear the quest

– Choose your region.

‘Send out one person at a time to collect information. So this time, I just don’t need to die? Isn’t this a quest that only I can do well?’

The penalty for failure is still the same, but the failure condition is more relaxed.

If he moved actively, he could also get stat points. Leeha quickly made assumptions about which area to choose, but he did not have to think about it already.

“I will go north.”

“The Land of Death is mine.”

***

“Huh? Ohh? I didn’t have to worry about it, just like that-”

“Then, you will have to go to Minis, beyond the border to the southwest, Leeha-kun.”

After cutting off Leeha’s words, Browless put his hand on Leeha’s shoulder.

‘Minis!’

The notification window disappeared in an instant.

‘Why did I get Minis? I am currently the most hated person by the Minis users-’

Sseuk-! With that sound, Leeha realized that he was alone in the Sentinel Mountains.

‘It’s been a long time since I’ve been on a quest by myself....... Besides, the two of them chose a place that is advantageous to them.’

Leeha must go to the southwestern part of Minis, to the land beyond the borders of Minis’ Kingdom. It was a place that had already been discovered, but it was rough terrain, so users didn’t go there.

‘I have to prepare thoroughly. There are a lot of items to prepare, and most importantly skills-’

Leeha’s expression changed at the word ‘skill’. A moment of astonishment soon turned into a feeling of wanting to hide in a mouse hole.

“[Mana Freeze]! What an idiot!”

Wouldn’t Mana Freeze have worked against those monsters who can’t be called Cyclops?

The source of their magic was the horn. Magic was used as an automatic reflex, but, if the bullet was shot at the center where they were standing, they wouldn’t have been able to react automatically with their horns like Fernand said. What if that happened? Wouldn’t it block all the mana of those within a 30m radius and not be able to use magic like Blink anymore?!

“Haaa....... I was the biggest problem. I really need to reflect. No matter how close Luger and Kidd are to me, I shouldn’t have been careless.”

He might have subconsciously relied on them due to the overwhelming skills the two people showed in the case of Crolang. Leeha tightened his loose resolve.

‘I need to sort out my battle patterns. Set up scenarios and deal with every battle by distance, and by situation. First things first, items.’

Leeha picked up his crystal ball. He had work to do before he went to Minis. After 10 seconds, Leeha teleported to Hell Anvil.

***

‘Is Leeha-ssi in the Sentinel?’

In the Royal Palace, Shin Nara looked at her friend’s window and held her chest.

‘Ah, he’s now in Hell Anvil. According to Kay-ssi, he was going to catch a new monster... it seems it is finished, phew.’

She would have known about this simple thing if she asked directly but she couldn’t whisper to the person who left during the banquet.

‘Because he doesn’t know anything about a woman’s heart. I have set the best time with Bobae.’

What should they do and where will they go? He should have called once he finished. With a simple word, it’s easy for him to whisper and if there’s anything, I could go and help him. She was disappointed with Leeha’s attitude as if he didn’t need her help.

‘What the hell happened anyway?’

‘Wasn’t that an urgent matter enough to stop the awarding ceremony’s banquet? It is the first time that this has ever happened. In addition, new field bosses appeared suddenly.... Should we look at it like it is a simple event? Wasn’t the Fragment of the Demon King mentioned last time? Or is it related to Bluebeard?’

She didn’t know exactly either. This was because even at the time of the National War, she was mainly in the Royal Palace, so she was only indirectly informed of the many situations, including Luger’s story.

Of course, unlike ordinary users, they were reliable words because they were stories of high-ranking NPCs and users going to and from the palace, but their words are also mostly speculation.

Currently, only a few people, including the Pope, have a complete picture of the situation.

“Dame.”

“Ah, hello. Browless-ssi.”

And one of those few people, an NPC, spoke to Shin Nara.

“Is His Highness here?”

“Yes, it hasn’t been long since he entered the central palace. Because of the large bell that suddenly appeared, there was a group of knights who came to report-”

“I see. Okay.”

“Yes, ah, that- just now, Leeha-ssi....... disappeared.”

Where did you come from and what did you do?

Shin Nara, who wanted to hear the exact reason Ha Leeha had to go to the Sentinel Mountains, had no choice but to whet her appetite.

Browless busily moved his feet, not even having time to answer her question.

There were already many NPCs gathered near the audience room inside the Central Palace.

“Aren’t you Browless-nim?”

“How have you been? Captain. I have something to tell His Highness.”

The situation was different from usual when only the captain of the royal guards was near the king.

Even the captain of the royal guards was out and controlling the area around the audience room. It meant that there were already those who instinctively realized what this incident was related to.
