Chapter 543
Matans Shooter 543

ED:
It seems that dragon isnt coming this time? The one like a fly around Bahamut.
Um The color of the bronze dragon is turquoise, but comparing it to a fly is a bit
If we could find out where Bahamut is, Sylphi-nim would praise you. Dont you know?
Me, of course I dont. How would I know the location of the great villain Bahamut?
This was precisely a strategy for life.
The business-like smile naturally on Leehas face.
Celestine, having heard the answer he wanted, wore a very pleased expression.
Isnt there anything fun happening outside?
Fun things
Leeha quickly racked his brain. Surely, fun things involved fighting and brawling!
But talking about the users stories, the spirits showed disinterest, making this request particularly challenging for Leeha.
I talked about Hwahong last time, and they somewhat listened to the story of Kuzgunaksh, but still, its like hearing about a foreign country um, something interesting-
Suddenly, an interesting story popped into Leehas head. It was something that happened just a few days ago, not far from here.
If theres nothing, then never mind-
There is! There is something!
Leeha shouted so loudly that Noeanen, who was far away, also turned his head towards him.
To shake off the awkward feeling, Leeha quickly continued.
It happened recently. In a place called Barren Land of Blooming Flames, humans swarmed in droves. There were so many monsters, and just when the users were charging, a dinosaur about 100 meters tall-
Leeha couldnt finish his sentence.
Swoooosh-!
With a tremendous sound of a gust, Noeanen moved swiftly towards him.
-Woah?! Noeanen-nim, what-
Is what youre saying true, right now? Barren Land of Blooming Flames! Toon is there? Toon has awakened?!
Thats impossible! Noeanen! Toon?! Did he just say Toon right now?
Noeanens eyes widened as if they were about to pop out.
Hearing the name Toon, Celestine stood up abruptly from his seat.
Still sitting on a tree branch, Leeha found himself suddenly surrounded by the two towering figures.
Yes, Toon Whether he has awakened or not, Im not sure, but he was definitely there-
He should still be sleeping. Its impossible that hes regained his strength already. Celestine! Any movement from Le-
The Sylphs havent reported anything. Ive placed them all around here, so it should be certain.
Noeanen and Celestine rapidly exchanged words. Leeha chimed in where he could, sensing an opportunity in their conversation.
After spending several days here, for the first time, they were showing a Middle Earth-like reaction.
Any Middle Earth user would naturally realize that this was a moment not to be missed.
It was said that he hasnt fully regained his strength yet.
Where did you hear that?
From a gold dragon. It must be true because it came from an ancient-class gold dragon who has encountered Toon before.
Hes awakened but hasnt regained his strength yet
Someone must have awakened him. Someone other than Le.
But if hes awakened, it wont be long before he regains his strength.
Celestine and Noeanen took turns speaking. Their gazes met and simultaneously turned towards Leeha.
Did you say humans attacked the Barren Land of Blooming Flames?
Yes, yep! Thats right.
We can only hope that not all humans died.
Noeanen crossed his arms.
With every word from Celestine, he was unable to retort.
If we take the fruit of the World Tree back to the realm of spirits? Whats different? If they can grow it there, why grow it here?
Leeha had questions, but this wasnt the moment to ask.
He kept a firm expression with pursed lips for a moment, then swoosh! The hologram window in front of him changed.
[Nothing Shall Bloom]
Content: Neutralize the dinosaur Toon in the [Barren Land of Blooming Flames] (Remaining time: 22 days)
Reward: 1 World Tree Fruit
Failure Condition: Failure to neutralize Toon before he regains all his power
If Failed: ?
Will you accept?
Alright. Give me the fruit of the World Tree.
[You have successfully negotiated.]
Leeha was a bit startled to see that the reward was only one fruit of the World Tree, even after using his bargaining skill.
What were they planning to give me when the reward was a question mark? Just some spirit affinity?! These tricksters! If I hadnt bargained, they would have just let me struggle for nothing! He thought about how the spirits tend to exploit humans, as was the case with taking care of the World Trees forest.
Anyway, that was in the past.
Now that the World Trees fruit appeared as a reward, Leeha had only one choice.
Ill be back.
Please do. For the sake of the west and east of this land no, for all life on this continent and beyond! Toon must be killed.
Leeha activated the modification sphere, hearing Noeanens final words.
Paytor-ssi!
Yes, my lord.
Any operational issues?
None.
The place Leeha had come to was Gaza City. Unlike Ram Hwayeon, who meticulously managed and prospered the city by interfering in everything, Leeha maintained a hands-off management style.
After all, Im not the type to look at reports and paperwork I wouldnt know what to do with it anyway.
Despite this relaxed approach, the city was running smoothly, thanks to the income it generated.
Without any special efforts to upgrade city facilities or stimulate the market, people came of their own accord.
It was a popular place for mid to low-level users from Minis-Fibiel to pass through on their way to hunting grounds, and just collecting taxes from the money they spent was enough.
If anything special comes up, Ill let you know. Please continue as you have been.
Understood. Dont worry.
Leeha quickly glanced over the weekly income and expenditure report of Gaza City before leaving the citys inner fortress.
His visit here wasnt just to see how much money had been made.
[Common Quest: When You Touch the Grass, a Snake Will Appear]
Content: Verify the location of the demonic source (6/7)
Failure Condition: Failure to verify the demonic source within 100 days (Remaining time: 22 days)
If Failed: ?
[Nothing Shall Bloom]
Content: Neutralize the dinosaur Toon in the [Barren Land of Blooming Flames] (Remaining time: 22 days)
The deadlines are the same. This means the remaining time for the quest from the Vatican and the quest from the highest-class spirits of the World Trees forest is the same.
And what about the location?
The seventh demonic source is precisely the [Barren Land of Blooming Flames].
Although the processes and objectives of the two quests differ, the ultimate outcome converges.
I dont know what penalty Id face if I failed the common quest.
Other users might not have caught on yet, but Leeha could roughly guess.
