Leeha must have looked like a skillful fairy hunter.
“T-that was great, squire! When were you so skillful? Hehe, with your skills in the musket, you could be a musketeer commander!”
“Thank you, but I will have to decline.”
In the meantime, Leeha continued reloading his musket.
Even the ent who walked slowly was about 10 meters away.
“Hurry up, Lepanto-nim!”
Taaang!
The bullet entered the knothole of the ent.
The rustling and ripping of the bark could be heard, but that was all.
The tree was walking promptly using its roots as legs.Kururuk–…….
He wanted to run away, but he did not have the skill to do that.
In order to make the most use of the delicate hand technique, Leeha continued to reload.
The giant tree finally collapsed after one, two, and three shots.
“Phew……. Tsk.”
Did it have the highest health and defense among the monsters I have faced so far?
‘Except for field bosses, it has the strongest defense among the normal monsters.’
It was a monster that needed to be shot by a whopping 5 times with Leeha’s current attack power…….
“That was great! How were you able to deal with an ent so easily by yourself!”
“Easily……?”
Leeha sighed when Lepanto raised his voice.
He might die if it’s like this……. It was easy to say.
“Of course! Seven trained soldiers must join forces! Even when an archer’s Fire Arrows are included! Ahahaha, I got a good seed here!”
Does that mean that you knew it was such a monster, and you still went ahead and dragged its aggro? With no sword, no shield, and no armor?
“Lepanto-nim.”
“Yes?”
Leeha thought that he should use this opportunity to make things clear.
He was able to deal with the fairies easily because of the Delicate Hand Technique. What if it happened again?
“Never. Never run towards monsters.”
“Why shouldn’t-”
“Shhhh! This is our mission! Shouldn’t Lepanto-nim and I find the Knight’s Sword and defeat the pieces of the demon king? Avoiding the detection of the monsters is also a strategy!”
Leeha lowered his head and said strongly. Of course, it was bullshit.
“Hmm…… right. It makes sense, squire.”
“Yes. If we report to the regimental commander, he will be very pleased.”
“Right! Good. Let’s move quietly, hehe.”
Phew……. Leeha let out a sigh.
Lepanto bent down his waist and began to move.
“Stop.”
“What is it, squire?”
“There are two ents and three fairies. It would be better if we wait here.”
Following Leeha’s movements, Lepanto also went into the pit.
Leeha opened his eyes and looked around.
They were in a reddish-brown wasteland. The plain that came into view was a long drought-scorched land that was cracked and split.
‘Is it because of the war?’
There were several small forests, but it was difficult for them to hide in the forest.
The forest was the ent’s territory. It could be said that it was the place where cursed ents were born.
“By the way, do you know where the rapier is?”
“Hahaha, of course not! I do not know where my sword is!”
After all that happened, why did the person who knew well that there are a lot of monsters come here.
“I feel it! Hahaha, my sword is crying alone on the battlefield.”
“Ah, yes.”
It was annoying, but there’s no other method anyway.
Above all, it was unavoidable to follow Lepanto wherever he wanted to go.
“Turn a little to the right like this and wait behind me. When I give you the signal, run up to the hill in front of you and do not look at the monster.”
“Is it necessary? I could cut down as many ents as I want!”
Ah, yes. You would. But you don’t have a sword. I think I have told you this more than five times already.
Leeha had barely resisted the desire to strangle the beggar with long hair in front of him.
“Get ready.”
Leeha fixed his eyes to the monster and waved his hand.
Fortunately, Lepanto carried out Leeha’s orders without hesitation.
The moment Leeha was about to move!
“Ha Leeha-nim?”
“Who’s there!”
A voice suddenly called out to Leeha and he shouted in a fluster.
A familiar yet non-human voice! Who came while he was looking at the monsters.
“Wow! S-squire! My sword! Give me my sword!”
Lepanto saw it and roared.
“No, you don’t have a sword, so why do you keep……
“Kikiki, Ha Leeha-nim! Why are you upset!”
A head stuck out from the bush in Leeha’s right rear.
A dark-green face that stood out more in the dark brown wasteland. Even the teeth were revealed everytime he smiled.
“Oh?”
“A Lizard Mage? Hurry up, squire!”
“Ah, Lepanto-nim, wait a minute!”
After holding down the struggling crazy beggar, only then was he able to smile a little.
The person who appeared was a person he knew, no, it was a Lizardia he knew.
“……Biyemi-nim?”
“Kiki, it’s been a while.”
The Venomancer Biyemi. It was Biyemi who went with him on the Golden Eagle quest at Candle Castle.
“How is Biyemi-nim here……?”
“I was hunting.”
“Hunting? Here?”
“Well, there were some circumstances. That’s how it happened. Kikiki.”
Leeha looked at Biyemi who was smiling awkwardly.
Like human mages wearing robes, Biyemi seems to be wearing cloth armor, but it wasn’t showing much.
He had a light cloth protector that wrapped around the wrist and calf. And there were similar pieces of fabric covering important areas like underwear.
However, the only difference from Candle Castle was the complex patterns that were engraved.
‘Even if he changed his items, he is hunting alone here?’
It was not Candle Castle. Leeha had now experienced Middle Earth’s system.
It was a difficult hunting ground for Leeha, who has grown so much that it even surprised Kijeong, a semi-ranker in Korea.
How about Biyemi……?
“Ha Leeha-nim, what’s wrong with you?”
“I-I have some troubles. Haha, I was doing a quest.”
“Phew, are you working with him? Lizard Arani! Awesome!”
“Kikiki, it’s a quest.”
Biyemi looked at Lepanto with a strange smile.
He immediately knew that this crazy person was an NPC, and that it was a quest related to this NPC.
“But how did Biyemi-nim come all the way here to hunt? Did you level up a lot?”
“Kikiki, that’s right.”
It’s because our race is so conspicuous. Isn’t Ha Leeha-nim really cool? Is that a boss field item?”
“Yes, I picked it up.”
“What a nonsensical joke. Kikiki, there’s no way you can pick up something like this.”
Biyemi certainly quickly grasped Leeha.
It was not an exaggeration to say that they lived and died together, and the two knew each other.
‘It’s like realizing that this is a field boss item, no matter how Lizardia race gets people’s attention, it’s a little strange to go out to the border of Fibiel Kingdom to hunt.’
Is what Leeha thought.
Venom Mage Academy was located in the northeast of Tamba Jungle and Aelstock, the capital. And he is here?
‘Southwest, that was out of the border. When we separated, we went almost completely the opposite way, so why did he come all the way here?’
He was glad that he was ahead, but he was worried.
Come to think of it, Biyemi was always the one who didn’t give answers straightforwardly.
When Leeha asked a question, he always answered by giving him sneak peeks similar to hints.
“Then would you like to come with us?”
Nevertheless, Leeha proposed a party.
Biyemi gave a slightly flustered expression on his face.
“Party?”
“It doesn’t matter if you can hunt alone, but it’s good to hunt together after meeting, right?”
“Kiki, Ha Leeha-nim wants help in clearing the quest, right?”
“Yes, thanks in advance.”
Biyemi looked around while talking to Leeha.
“It’s good, but…… Actually……
“What is it?”
“It’s difficult to say. Still…… Nothing should happen now. So, shall we do it together? Kiki. I wonder what kind of quest it is.”
Biyemi looked at Lepanto curiously. “Hmmm, Lepanto-nim? Can we go with this Lizardia?”
“Of course! Lizard Warriors and Lizard Mages are one of the strongest soldiers in the Demon King’s army! If he is on our side, I could not ask for more!”
“Eh? What Demon King is he talking about?”
Biyemi tilted his head.
“This NPC is a little……. If it’s okay. Then let’s go. There are a lot of monsters over there, so we need to be careful.”
Leeha created a party with Biyemi. How much had changed since they separated from Candle Castle?
The Lizardia walked out of Leeha’s sight, who was making plans with anticipation.
Biyemi walked towards two cursed ents and three dark fairies.
“Bi-Biyemi-nim! Why did you leave just like that?”
“Please prepare, Ha Leeha-nim.”
‘Are you crazy?’
Leeha struggled to hold back the words he wanted to shout.
“Wait! What are you going to do?”
“Ha Leeha-nim, please take care of the ents.”
The Lizardian Venomancer walked without hesitation.
The mage intentionally reduced the distance from the enemy. That alone was incomprehensible.
But there was something surprising. Even though Biyemi was moving, green particles began to gather in his body.
‘Move-casting!’
Leeha’s eyes widened for a moment, but there was no time to admire.
Reload start.
“S-Squire! That Lizardia said-“
“Lepanto-nim, please stay back!”
It was time to reload and shoot. 47 seconds? 48 seconds? Meanwhile, Biyemi finished casting.
Hii– It’s been a while since we saw a lizard, right?
It was a long time since we saw a lizard.
Even when the dark fairies came close with threatening flapping sounds, Biyemi remained still.
‘He wanted me to take care of the ents? What is he going to do with the fairies?’
Damn it. Should I target the fairies first?
However, Leeha did not aim his gun at the fairies.
I was wary because this is where we met after a long time, but it isn’t like we did not go through difficulties together. Leeha trusted Biyemi and waited.
