[You have leveled up.]
Haaaa-
White light wrapped around Leeha’s body. The bone drake’s body, which was flying with its bony wings and defying the laws of physics, fell to the ground.
“……One shot? Was it an instakill?”
“Leeha-nim…… your amazing…”
Fernand and Jin Gonggong were stunned and perplexed. It’s not like they didn’t know the monster’s level. Wasn’t it said that its estimated level was 220?
‘Besides, it’s a guardian, its not a normal monster. Even if it’s not a field boss, it would be much stronger than a normal level 200 mob.’ Fernand could catch it but was too lazy to deal with it.
And due to the nature of his job with his few attack skills, Fernand tried to avoid flying monsters because they were a pain to deal with. Fernand wasn’t surprised that Leeha caught it, but because it was an instakill. As far as he knew, the people who could deal with a level 220 guardian in one shot could be counted on one hand.
‘Alexander……. Lee Jiwon and Luger? No, could Luger even hit a target the size of a finger, on something that could fly so fast? Rather, he might end up getting hurt because he’s too powerful. His accuracy would be a bit too lacking……’
If it weren’t for Fernand’s skill, normal users would not be able to find the small pattern.
What did it mean to be able to accurately hit the target on a bone drake’s body and kill it in a single shot while it flew at high speeds and was far away.
Fernand, with his rabbit eyes, stared intently at Leeha.
“Whoah, this also gave an achievement? Nice.”
[Achievement: One shot, one kill – Bone Drake(A-)]
Congratulations! You defeated a Bone Drake in one blow! You will be the light of this chaotic Middle Earth. We ask that you continue to work hard for humanity in the future. But before that time comes, I hope you get a little stronger….
Reward : Strength +6, Agility +10
You are the second registrand of the achievement [One shot, one kill – Bone Drake].
The first three registrants of the achievement will be recorded in the Hall of Fame, and an additional 200% of the existing effect is applied.
Effect: Strength +12, Agility +20
‘A-? Even though its estimated level is 220 it’s not A-grade? For level 230-240, you should at least get an A-grade’
The estimated level of the Cyclops, Quiquero was 180-190. It was B+-grade. But even when Leeha caught a level 220, it was an A-minus grade.
‘Besides, I’m the second registrant…. I was the third for Quiquero as well. It seems Bone Drake is more rare than Quiquero.’
Not knowing that what he did was comparable to Alexander or Lee Jiwon, Leeha focused on his new achievement.
“What’s your attack power- no, in this case, attack power is attack power, but its weakness-”
“That’s right. It was what Fernand-ssi told me. Fernand and I are a perfect match. It would be good if we could go to the new continent together. Right?”
“-Still……. Just because I told you does not mean you could hit it immediately.”
After getting the title and achievement of Pioneering King at the same time, many people came to him. To obtain information on the best hunting ground or places where they could clear their quests.
‘They also had the confidence and strength. But those people only came for benefits….
But what about my profits?’
However, he knew at least one thing. Right now, the person in front of him was different from those who came to ask him for help.
It’s that Fernand is able to ask for his help.
‘If there’s profit……’
His attack power is stronger than the cannons on a ship. His flexibility, accuracy and range could easily surpass any cannon.
Fernand’s body trembled slightly.
‘Isn’t it possible as long as three or four sea monster don’t come at the same time? No, what if there’s another person that could do an instakill?’
Fernand held out his had towards Leeha. His eyes were filled with emotion.
“I am sorry for being rude. I am Fernand Magalias, but you can just call me Fernand.”
“Oh? It’s okay, I am Ha Leeha.”
Flustered at his sudden formality, Leeha hurriedly grabbed Fernand’s hand.
“I sincerely thank you for visiting me from Fibiel’s Royal Palace. Ha Leeha-nim. I will participate in the new continent expedition fleed of the Fibiel Kingdom.”
“Really? Really?!”
“Because the adventure is worth it if I’m with you.”
Fernand took off his hat and bowed politely. Not only Leeha, but Jin Gonggong, who was beside him, bowed their head at the same time.
He was a man that talked a lot and was a little strange, but Fernand was a great adventurer.
He was a user who knew how to value the opportunity to explore new places.
****
“Then I will go! Please call me once you decide when to explore the new continent! I won’t do anything else and will only increase my affinity with plants and animals.”
“Haha, I got it, thank you, Jin Gonggong-nim”
Jin Gonggong was not a greedy user. He clearly knew that his level was still not yet good enough for the expedition because there was still a lot of work to be done on the current continent.
At the place where Jin Gonggong left, Fernand packed his belongings. Leeha cancelled his party with Jin Gonggong, and made a new party with Fernand.
“Shall we go?”
“Let’s go.”
“Uh…… By the way, I don’t have mass teleport scroll. Did you save Aelstock?”
“Yes.”
“Oops, wait a minute. I have to loot first.”
Leeha, who was about to rip a scroll, remembered the drops of the drake. He caught a rare monster, so he couldn’t just leave.
The item that dropped was [a bone fragment with a pattern drawn on it]. Leeha picked up something that was the size of a fist.
‘Is that it? If you look at the achievement, it looked like it was at the same level as a field boss, but there were no items? It didn’t have anything else.’
Leeha caught a level 220 monster, but the only item he got was something that could be used as a material.
‘Where did I see this symbol-’
Two overlapping triangles made a six-pointed star. He felt like he had seen it before, he thought about it, but Leeha could not remember.
‘Israel’s flag looked a little like this…… Is that where I saw it? Not really…… Leeha felt a vague sense of déjà vu, but nothing really came to mind. He would find out someday anyway, so he had to focus on Fernand for now.
“Alright done! Let’s go!”
“Let’s scroll.”
Leeha and Fernand tore a scroll at the same time. After 10 seconds of standing awkwardly while facing each other, the two of them were able to arrive at Aelstock.
[You have completed the New Land in the Sea of Dawn quest.]
[Fibiel Kingdom’s National Contribution increases by 50 points.]
‘Indeed. It’s done as soon as we arrive. The reward is absurd but-
In fact the condition and contents of the quest were just that. Of course, Leeha did not clear the quest because of the 50 achiement points.
“It has been quite a while since the last time I came to Fibiel’s capital city.”
Fernand smiled at the loud shouts and the users who filled the road.
“Ah, aren’t you a Fibiel Citizen?”
“No. I have a high level of friendship with many countries, but if we look at my nationality, I belong to Ezwen.”
“The holy nation? Wow…… The country the size of a rat poop- no, sorry. Why in that little country? I heard that not even priests choose that country.”
Ezwen, a country that was hardly ever mentioned.
Normal users choose their nationality in consideration of the strength of the country.
Choosing which country to go to was also done in order to get benefits for one’s growth.
However, the holy nation of Ezwen that Fernand spoke of was really weak!
The country’s size was small, its military was not strong, and there were no hunting grounds that only that country could use.
However, it was unique because they had a pope, and a religious order that dealt with white magic.
‘It is said that it was a country of unity. Isn’t it said that the ruler of Ezwen is the head of the religion that is spread across the continent?’
However, temples and churches were everywhere, and there was no shortage of jobs and quests.
In other words, it was a country that was highly regarded as an abandoned place that no players would dare choose except for a few people who fell in love with the ‘concept play’ among users.
‘Anyway, there are a lot of strange people among the outsiders.’
That’s why they became outsiders instead of rankers.
Leeha observed Fernand for a moment while looking at the streets and smiling at the people of Aelstock.
“It’s fun.”
“Huh?”
“The general countries give free experience for discovering unexplored areas, but Ezwen gives higher rewards for undiscovered dungeons. I found a place where the Devil previously hid.”
“Ah.”
“Well, its similar, so it’s not about the compensation. Its just! I like small countries for some reason. I don’t have to be hostile to any of the more prominent countries.”
“Well…… that’s also an advantage. If you’re done looking, let’s go to the royal palace.”
The completion of the quest itself ended the moment they arrived at Aelstock, but that was not in the description of the quest.
Both of them must enter the royal palace and finish the report. Leeha had a rough estimate on what would happen.
‘A continent expedition fleet will be created, and a new quest will appear where I am also a participant.’
It was an obvious story.
Leeha led Fernand to the royal palace.
“You’re working hard.”
“Welcome, Leeha-nim, Fernand-nim.”
The guards met the two men as soon as they touched the crystal ball. It was a natural action for Leeha, who had a high intimacy. However, it was not easy for Fernand.
What was the reason for his letter to remain in the archives of the royal palace? He had to see if his achievement and fame in Fibiel were high enough.
Heading through the inner gate to the central palace, Fernand asked.
“Did the Royal Castle become active? It wasn’t like this when I came here before.”
The vigilance and security became more stricter than when Leeha stopped Petyr’s attack.
‘Isn’t because of the war preparations?’
The two of them even completed their application for an audience with the king.
More NPCs were not guards. Besides, it was obvious what those NPCs who were wearing armor and swords were doing.
“No! You can’t go that way!”
“The Sacred Knights just need to defend the capital! What do you know about the operation?”
On the way to meet the king along with the guards, a voice leaked out from the meeting room. The middle-aged man with a rough beard and impressive voice did not lose a single word.
‘She’s only great. Because there’s no other female lead.’
Leeha, who was walking down the hallway, looked at Shin Nara through a crack in the door and smiled.
“Oh, this is so frustrating! Haven’t you crossed over to the Minis Kingdom? It’s a perfect canyon. Even if I don’t know things like strategy, the only thing I can say is that you shouldn’t cross that narrow path-!” And at the familiar gaze she felt, Shin Nara suddenly turned her head.
Her expression, which had been frowning, brightened in an instant.
“Ah! The envoy is here now! Wait. I’ll be out for a while.”
“D-Dame! Where are you going in the middle of-”
Even the NPC general was not able to stop Shin Nara. She quickly came out of the conference room, closed the door, and greeted Leeha.
“Leeha-ssi! What’s going on! When you arrive at the capital, you have to tell me first!”
“Haha, there are times when I come a few times a day, how could I always bother you so often throughout the day? I don’t want to make Nara-ssi uncomfortable.”
“Uncomfortable! Why are you saying that? B-between…. Us.”
The female voice that was raised a while ago disappeared.
“Between us?”
Seeing her blushing as she slightly twisted her body, Leeha’s heart pounded for some reason.
“A-anyway. Where are you going today?”
“Ah. I have something to report to the king. It’s about a quest I received before.”
“That’s right. Who is that person behind you?”
Shin Nara gently shook her head and looked at the user behind Leeha.
With his shabby attire, and worn-out hat. He was dressed like he shouldn’t be able to enter the royal palace, which made people even more curious.
Leeha introduced the unknown person to Shin Nara, thinking that it would help increase his reputation.
“It seems this would be the first time Nara-ssi is meeting him. This is Fernand, the Pioneering King.”
And then he thought. As expected, a cute woman’s surprised face is even cuter.
“P-Pioneering- Fernand!”
