Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

Chapter 306

Bottleneck spoke to Leeha, who was wondering what to say first.

“What else did you come here for?”

“Oh, well. It’s kind of. I need more bullets.”

“Really? That’s great. Then, can you help me? I can’t properly do my work here now. I want to go back to Hell Anvil again. To do that……

Shwaak!

As if it was waiting, a notification window appeared before Leeha’s eyes.

[Revocation of Decision]

Explanation: ‘Show proof that you are not connected to Ghibridwa. So that even the idiots with only iron ore in their heads can be persuaded. You are the reason, so help me. Of course, I am not asking for you to do it for free. Do you have to do it? Isn’t it natural! Find the chimera and kill it!

I… only want a chimera. You don’t have to take a risk. If it is simply a chimera, it could have been made by someone else other than Ghibrid. I hope that is the case. But if it’s really Ghibrid……. Your life might be in danger.’

Bottleneck wants to prove to the Council of Elders that he is not a subordinate of Ghibrid. Find the chimera beyond the red mountain range where it was found, shoot it, and bring evidence.

Content: Obtain at least 3 Chimera Fragments

Reward: 3 Bottleneck Blacksmith Free Pass

Condition for Failure: Ghibrid’s Summoning, Death

Penalty for failure: Achievement – Demon King’s Minion

Continental Fame -3,000

Intimacy with Dwarf NPCs -60%

– Would you like to accept?

“Huh?”

Leeha quickly looked at the details. To find chimeras, that were artificial creatures, kill them, and retrieve their skins.

“They wouldn’t believe it if it was only one chimera. There must be at least 3 kinds.”

It was also a request to catch three kinds of chimeras.

“I-It’s still not sure if there really are chimeras or not-”

“There are. I don’t know if it’s Ghibrid’s or not, but it is clear that there are chimeras! The elders are also convinced. It’s just that the chimeras were hiding and couldn’t be found.”

“Still, three- and you’re saying that you’re not asking me to do it for free, but what is this?”

The reward was 3 of Bottleneck Blacksmith’s Free Pass.

Isn’t it the same as free? Even the Penalty for Failure was nonsensical.

‘The implication is lighter than ‘Beginning of the Fall’, but it isn’t easy, is it? Demon King’s Minion?’

The condition for failure is not only death. Ghibrid’s Summoning?

‘What kind of skill do I have to summon Ghibrid? Something is definitely strange.’

Even in the midst of being flustered, Leeha’s mind quickly turned. He didn’t exactly know the quest-related information, but the approximate name and location quickly crossed his mind.

“Will you do it, or not-”

“This free pass.”

“-Huh?”

“You will make anything I request, right?”

“Well, what do you want me to make? If I can make it, then……”

Bottleneck half-forced Leeha to do it, but when he saw Leeha’s shining eyes, his momentum subsided. Leeha quietly thought.

‘Bargaining.’

[Bargaining skill has been activated.]

[The probability of persuading the target increased by 43%.]

Poor Bottleneck would get taken advantage of.

****

“It’s a mess.”

Leeha temporarily logged out to gather information. In the meantime, Leeha, who entered the community, saw all kinds of complaints from users about the appearance of demonic monsters.

[Title: No, how can I catch ogres when they are gone!!!!!]

[Title: [Help!] Clear up the monsters in the Poar Village please please please]

[Title: Has anyone seen Cyclops use magic? ????? ?]

[Title: By the way, is the war over? ? ???

[Title: Level 170 2nd Raid Corps Alliance Raid Challenge Story.txt]

‘There are 60 people in 2 raid teams. Level 170 is by no means low. Most importantly, they are higher-leveled than me.’

However, the content of the article was a record of a miserable failure. Most importantly, they would naturally fail if they thought that it was a simple raid. Instead of catching a single boss monster, they should have thought that they would fight dozens of boss-level monsters. The users did not grasp the essence of the demon corps that death was everywhere.

“If you rush without information, that’s what happens.”

Luger, who rushed in without any information and shattered monsters, came to Leeha’s mind for a moment, but he was a rare exception. Ordinary users are not able to handle field boss-level demonic monsters that appear on a large scale. Leeha shook his head and searched for the information he needed. It was because the word “red mountain” kept catching his eye. He wondered where he heard it, but he could not remember.

“I knew it would be like this. Heck, I knew it would be like this. It is the place I saw on Fernand’s map.”

The name was written on the continental map revealed on the internet. Compared to Fernand’s 50% map completion, although the map that many users made by joining forces helped, it was not accurate.

“If I do well, I can hit two birds with one stone.”

The place Leeha was looking at was the southwestern part of Minis Kingdom. The name Red Mountains was written in small letters within the range of the place to go for Browless Quest.

‘I will sleep for today, and log in again tomorrow.’

After finding information and other necessary materials, Leeha turned the computer off and pushed his wheelchair toward his bed. Even as he laid down in bed, information related to the Fragment of the Demon King, the optimal route to clear his quest, and information wandered around his head.

‘Still, what if I get the Demon King’s Minion achievement?’

He laughed halfheartedly, imagining if he could do it twice, or if Middle Earth was a single-player game, he would have tried it at least once out of curiosity.

‘Well, there’s no way I’d be such a fool. I should go to sleep.’

He laughed at it, but he didn’t think that someone would seriously consider it.

***

“If Madam Ju doesn’t even know about it, I have no choice but to wing it..”

Leeha stopped by the Holy Grill to get information related to Bluebeard or Ghibrid’s chimera, but he did not get any results. In the end, it meant that he had no choice but to check it out himself. However, Leeha hesitated for a moment in front of the warp gate. Bottleneck’s quest must be completed anyway. Since he was kicked out of Hell Anvil and it was difficult to obtain materials, Bottleneck told Leeha that he couldn’t make anything other than bullets.

‘In other words, I have to complete Bottleneck’s quest to get the auxiliary items I have thought of. It’s a good thing because the quest overlaps with the Bluebeard quest anyway. It’s a good thing but…. Haaaa……. Of all places!’

It had to be Minis. Fortunately, no one could identify Leeha as ‘Fibiel’s Hero’. Unlike Drake’s coat now, Leeha wore the Brown Bear in the entirety of the war, and he wore formal clothes during Fibiel’s Awarding broadcast, which was broadcasted around the world. In other words, it was inevitable that people who can distinguish his appearance were rare.

‘Still, people with good eyesight will remember faces, so that’s a problem. Daaamn it.’

Different thoughts floated in Leeha’s head, from minor(?) worries that Minis might have created a quest to get him, to thoughts about Petyr and others.

“I will think about it for now. I can kill them all when they come.”

****

Click. The sound of the bolt being pulled softly resounded. However, he had underestimated himself. Rumors that he was Fibiel’s number one contributor and that he had injured Alexander spread far and wide in Minis, so who would dare attack him? Chiyou was also interested in gathering information about Bluebeard, so there was no particular threat.

“If I think about it, isn’t this a good thing? If I had chosen north of Shazrasian, I would have gone to the northernmost part to find Bluebeard, and to the southernmost part to find the chimeras, it’s almost like crossing the continent. Right, right.”

After warping to Nitai, the southernmost part of Fibiel, Leeha crossed the Marching Plains and headed to Minis.

The land that had been dominated by Faust and Crowley, was now left with no traces of them.

‘It was dangerous. If those guys had advanced a little faster, the Fibiel army would have been perfectly caught in from the back.’

To be more accurate, it was Ewin who stopped them, and it was a strategy to drive the Fibiel army through Alexander, but Leeha didn’t know that. While he was the one who broke that strategy.

Noone touched Leeha until he crossed the Marching Plains and crossed Minis’ border. Leeha ran nonstop for a few hours until he arrived at the first castle, Castle Van Cowl,.

Just like when Leeha first arrived in the capital, inspections were underway at the entrance of Castle Van Cowl.

‘If there were a lot of people, I would have just mixed in …’

However, unlike Aelstock, Minis’ Castle Van Cowl did not have that many people. Of course, there were people coming in and out, but they were arranged in an orderly line, so it wasn’t crowded.

“Please put your hand on the crystal ball. Thank you.”

One person entered Castle Van Cowl, which reduced the number of people in front by one. Leeha’s heart pounded as he approached, finally, he stood in front of the gate of the castle he captured.

‘Come to think of it, Byeolcho Special forces lead during the siege, right? In the end, I am actually the one who destroyed this gate…’

It was Leeha who made and supplied the bombs and made the strategy.

Gulp, as he took another step closer, Leeha swallowed dryly, the soldiers in front of the huge gate, which had already been restored, stared at Leeha.

“Write your name and affiliation, and raise your hand.”

Will the fight begin the moment he raises his hand? It was not without possibility. Even though there was a truce, fighting against each other was not prohibited at all.

‘It took two years for the Korean War to completely set the 38th parallel after the armistice agreement. How much blood was shed to advance the border at that time?’

What if he went into battle like that?

Should he use a teleport scroll? To fight or not to fight?

He had to enter at least one city in order to use the warp gate between Minis cities!

“My name is Ha Leeha, belonging to Fibiel, which is currently in a ‘truce’ with your country.”

Emphasizing the word ‘truce’, Leeha raised his hand. Boom-! The crystal ball howled and emitted red light.

The response was completely different from the light blue light emitted before, Leeha reflexively opened the case of Black Bass and tried to take out his rifle.

“Ha- Ha Leeha!”

“Wha-wha-what is he doing here……?”

That was until the guards took a couple of steps back in astonishment.

“Huh?”

The terrifying Van Cowl guards, who had been glaring at him until just now, had suddenly become docile sheep.

Step, step. At least Leeha had found a clear way to differentiate users from NPCs. The people who took a step back were users.

“That person says he is Ha Leeha.”

“Because of him- isn’t he the reason our castle gate was destroyed!? Why is a guy like that here?”

“Shh! Shh! Do you want to die? Look at those vicious eyes, those are the eyes of a murderer. A guy like that would kill people just by looking at his eyes!”

And the people who glanced at his face while saying those kinds of things were NPCs.

Civilian NPCs in Minis in the shopping district feared and loathed Leeha.

He didn’t know whether he liked it or not. Until he reached the warp gate, Leeha was treated like a monster by Minis’ NPCs.

‘My reputation had gone up, but my intimacy had gone down, so this is what would happen. Cheap. Should I be grateful that I am able to warp?’
