Chapter 596
Matans Shooter 596
Its just at the level of wanting to sell it off, what I really need is
Leeha, who had been anxious not to see the desired passage, finally heard some good news.
[You have obtained the rare crystal body of the Freezing Ostrich.]
Yes! Yessssss! Got the crystal body!
The item that wouldnt drop no matter how much he sliced at the corpses head! Leeha finally managed to acquire the eye of the Freezing Ostrich.
Whoa! What kind of eye is this! Its bigger than a basketball!
Leeha, lifting the eye high with both hands, looked almost like an athlete hoisting a championship trophy.
[Rare Crystal Body of the Freezing Ostrich]
Description: The eye of the freezing ostrich, among the bird species, boasts the best vision. To hunt for food in the frigid tundra and protect themselves from predators, their exceptional vision is unmatched. They can spot how ants are moving at a distance of 85m and detect intruders up to 20km away. Moreover, their eyes, capable of refracting and re-refracting light, are known to partially dispel invisibility magic.
The item description was more than satisfactory for Leeha.
85m away ants?! Sounds unbelievable, but who cares!
The part about spotting something from up to 20km away!
Of course, Leeha was well aware of the loophole in the item description.
This was only under the condition that he could see 20km away when given the right environment.
Especially in places like mountainous terrains where objects blocking the view are present, no matter how far you can see, the view would inevitably be obstructed.
ButBut! If I have Blaugrunn-ssi! Even some transparency is visible. How does that work? Well, Ill know once I make it! The scopes a sure thing now!
When combined with levitation magic, just what kind of power would this wield! Leeha felt like he had met the item that would bring his vague ideas into reality.
Alright! Yeah! Yes! Yeah!
Dancing to this bizarre chant was Leeha, towards whom Blaugrunn was approaching. He was letting out a light sigh mixed with a smile.
Are you that happy? Youre not a kid.
What do you mean, not a kid!? Heh, of course, Im happy!
Then, youre going to like this too.
Huh?
Blaugrunn snapped his fingers with a flick, making a snap! sound.
Something nearly the size of Blaugrunns torso was floating behind him and approaching.
More splendid than its oval shape was the sight of its insides completely visible. Although Leeha instantly guessed what it was, it was not a dreadful sight.
He had only expected to see the diligently growing baby of the Freezing Ostrich inside the egg, yet, what were all these countless rainbows now in front of his eyes?
Wow
Could this happen if you filled a prism inside?
Plus, the rainbows spread out in all directions only within the egg,
Not extending outside the egg.
While Im not sure about other things, this one thing I can tell you. His Highness will definitely love this.
Huh? Whats it do?
An item for crafting?
Definitely not a wearable item. Or since its an egg, could it somehow be edible?
As if he already knew all of Leehas speculations, Blaugrunn shook his head.
This, in itself, has no effect.
Then why would I like it?
If the Silver Dragon tribe rushes for it with fiery eyes.
Silver DragonAh, aah?!
If the Silver Dragons strongly desired it, wouldnt Leeha have to secure the price for it no matter what!
Blaugrunn-ssi! This, its like hitting the jackpot!
Keke, does that mean Leeha-nim has been a scoundrel up until now?
No, I mean, cancel that. The Moon of Trade! The Miracle Negotiator!
Though it might make people suffer quite a bit, Middle-Erth also teaches that equivalent rewards come.
With over 100 million registered players, this game certainly had its reasons.
Holding onto Blaugrunn and joyfully hopping around, Leeha opened the quest window to check the remaining numbers.
Maybe thats why the Czar has decentralized, managing a small number of people each.
However, in terms of rankings, aside from Igor, there are only a few Russian users in the Top 100. They are significantly less important than Igor, who is in the Top 10.
Chiyou! If you leave me behind again, just do as you please! Kya kya kya!
Chiyou had another thought as she watched Igor shouting without turning back. There could be a hidden meaning behind the words and actions Igor and the Czar had shown in front of her.
It seems like a protest to take him with them.
Maybe they want to convey an image that our team cant be stopped!
Or could it be a hint that theres another management target, trying to divert her focus?
Or perhaps theyre trying to entice me to come closer for infiltration into the Shinobi group.
Regardless of the reason, to Chiyou, the actions of Igor and the Czar felt laughably like an act.
The thought of these giant figures groaning and planning such a show just to get a bit of core information seemed funny to her.
Lets assign you a more important task than just coming along, Igor!
Chiyou notified Igor with a light-hearted voice.
However, her eyes were already scanning the Czars users. Although they all maintained poker faces, they couldnt fool Chiyou.
This is great, stimulating both from the outside and now from the inside.
She shuddered with delight.
For her, a battle of wits and strategy was exactly what she had always desired. A new person quietly approached the joyous Chiyou.
What about me? Last time, you mentioned coming along!
Ah, Prea.
An elf with snow-white eyes rubbed her right foot against her left leg and smiled gently.
Chiyou grabbed her shoulder and nodded vigorously.
Of course, of course. We need Prea to go and check things out.
Yay! Ah, truly, being here, setting up this fortress, only to make various requests to the spirits without even getting a chance to breathe fresh air has been quite stifling! Its such a relief to get out this time. I even managed to secure 10th place in the rankings, but had nowhere to really use my strengths. I thought I was going to die of boredom. Oh! So, does this mean were going with [Toon]? Is there anything special I need to prepare?
As Prea bounced around jubilantly, her rapid-fire speech continued without pause. Watching the spirited and chatty her, Chiyou managed her expression as best as she could.
No special preparation needed, just be your usual self.
Got it! Hehe, then who shall I take along, hmm~
Chiyous eyes sparkled as she watched Prea walk away, drawing out spirits in a flurry of chatter.
A whisper then reached her.
It was Sasuke, keeping watch over the users from the shadows.
Sasuke: Are you sure about this, Oka-san?
Chiyou: About what?
Sasuke: I still dont think we can trust Prea.
Chiyou: Ufufu, do you think I dont know that?
Sasuke: Ha, Ha! My apologies.
Hearing Sasukes flustered voice, Chiyou smiled lightly. The sharp gaze she had while observing Prea had already disappeared.
But Sasuke has a point. Igor and the Czar are actually easier to understand Fools with clear motives are the easiest to predict.
Knowing what they want makes predicting their actions easier.
But here, in Chiyous New Continent fortress, the most troublesome opponent was Prea.
At first, I thought she was just a fool lusting after a higher rank.
Because it was impossible to understand what she truly wanted.
Her often-observed behavior of summoning and chatting with spirits alone; too far to hear clearly and, more often than not, unseen by regular users due to the spirits invisibility.
