“Most people are unable to properly interpret even if they are given a decent amount of clues and end up wasting it, but in that respect, I think Luger is really great.”
“I agree. Director Broless also used to compare me a lot to Luger.”
“Huh, after all, the only person with a proper head is the director. “You two still have a long way to go.”
The corners of Luger’s mouth rise slightly again.
Luger even walked a little slower. Below, is it to close the distance from Kid and listen to his story better?
“I don’t think I’d be able to move like this without a map or compass because I’m anxious.”
“If you just follow Uriah Luger, you won’t lose anything.”
Lee Ha and Kid tried hard not to laugh.
Luger had been ahead for a long time at the beginning of Redwood, but now he was almost on par with Kid.
“Isn’t that right, Luger?”
“that’s right. that’s right. Luger! I just have to keep believing and keep going, right? The strongest musketeer of all time, Luger of [Piercing]!”
When Kid and Leeha asked once again, Luger finally turned and looked at the two people.
Not only was the corner of his mouth raised so high, he put so much strength into his neck that all his tendons were sticking out.
“Hahaha! of course! I knew from the moment I saw those NPCs called Paleo. But those stupid red goats and black cranes have nothing to do with it. Not only did they not know humans, they didn’t even know what a dark elf was. The NPC group that Kaztor contacted must be somewhere else. They said there are only two Paleo groups in Redwood, so if you get out of here first and narrow down the scope by first increasing intimacy with the newly found Paleo NPCs-” “
As expected. It seemed like it would be so. Well, as Kid said earlier, he’s the type of person who would take over a year to increase intimacy on his own.”
“Um, um. let’s go.”
Leeha and Kid nodded and walked away.
As I passed by Luger, who was giving a powerful speech to the two people.
“-Yes? for a moment! Don’t you listen to me anymore?”
“What are you saying?”
“Yes, I, Luger, the strongest musketeer of all time! [Penetration] of—”
“I heard everything. Now be quiet.”
The only sound that was heard was the crunch of Kid stepping on a tree branch that had fallen to the ground.
Simple is not a sin. Being stupid is not a sin.
It is also inevitable that people who have had difficulty forming relationships with people will be weak when it comes to compliments.
If the problem is, wouldn’t it be with those who abuse it?
Just like Lee Ha and Kid, who are giggling and smiling contentedly even when Luger is shaking.
“These damn bastards are playing with me!?”
Slam!
Ruger loaded the cobalt blue python.
Leeha and Kid’s bodies flinched at the realistic sound of metal. Normally I would dismiss it as a joke, but now?
“I’ll kill you!”
“Uh, uhh, the crazy guy is really going to shoot- Wow!”
“Calm down, Luger. “If you go on a rampage, you’ll only lose yourself—sigh!”
There was no time to speak.
Below is on the left, Kid is on the right! The two quickly ran behind the huge tree trunk of the redwood.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Kwahiah ah ah ah ─────────!
A sudden gunshot rang out across the vast redwoods.
It was a loud noise that could even be heard by some of the New World expedition members scattered throughout the area.
* * *
“You ignorant bastard, I really want you to shoot me.”
“What would you have done if we had even passed by?”
Lee Ha and Kid grumbled, recalling the situation from earlier. Luger, who took the lead again by widening the distance, did not even reply to what the two said.
The place where the mana relay tower was installed was the small coast where the New World expedition first set foot.
This is because there was no area to install a mana relay tower inside the forest where redwoods towered high.
From there, everyone dispersed to their separate ways, meaning that the three musketeers also started walking from the complete entrance to the redwood.
The redwoods dominated by red goat Paleos and black-crowned crane Paleos were vast, but more than 5 hours had already passed since we dispersed to take screenshots.
It has already been three hours since Luger fired his gun at Leeha and Kid, which also means that they walked a considerable distance.
“…hmm?”
“oh! “Is this damn forest finally coming to an end?!”
In other words, it was no surprise that Redwood ended.
Since Middle Earth is a realistic game, there are bound to be moments as boring as reality. One of the things users disliked the most was movement.
‘If it’s a place that has been developed, you can use a warp gate or at least take a carriage and read a book… It’s a real hell walking around in an unexplored area like this.’
But that hell is over now.
Luger also seemed to have gotten a little lighter from what he suffered from Leeha and Kid.
Sabak, Sabak, Sabag, Sabak, Sabak, Sabag!
The three people’s steps became faster and faster.
As they passed over and over redwood trees that were much thicker than the pillars of most buildings, a new landscape was finally revealed to the three musketeers.
“It came out───! “Oh my gosh, goodbye to the boring forest!”
“Seeing as there is no discovery experience, I guess someone has already visited the area, or the area is close to giving discovery experience.”
Lee Ha stretched out his arms wide and stretched as much as he could. Kid checked to see if any notification windows popped up, but there was no additional information or compensation.
“As soon as you come out to an open area like this, you start screaming and looking for experience points… After all, stone-headed people can’t do that. You still have a long way to go-”
“Don’t act so proud, Luger. As for long-distance reconnaissance at the sand bar border, everything has already been done, right? There is something moving about 1.6km ahead in this direction, so be careful. “It’s small, but I don’t know if it’s a monster or an animal.”
“―…I will definitely make you lose the use of your eyes. Damn you.”
Luger tried to crush Leeha, as if he wanted revenge for what happened earlier, but Leeha was not defeated.
I just pretend to look light, but I’m not actually a light person.
Strictly speaking, the person who knows the horrors of Erica’s New World best would be Hyunjae or below.
Didn’t he directly take on the attack of the red goat Paleos and fight against the black crane Paleos?
Snipers are not foolish enough to expose themselves to their heart’s content in the open, slightly hilly area that emerges at the end of the forest.
Kid had already drawn two Crimson Geckos and was holding them in both hands, so the three musketeers were truly a trio.
“Maybe we should have a hazing ceremony?”
“It’s my job, so don’t fuss and get out.”
Luger pushed Leeha and took the lead. Kid also ran, not to be outdone.
In fact, it is no different from the first creature discovered upon reaching the New World. Excluding the NPC Paleos, what is that thing you see in front of you?
Biology? monster? Another NPC race?
‘Whatever it is, it’s important that there may be some kind of achievement from the first hunt!’
Leeha quickly opened and closed the friends window to check the locations of other people.
Was it because they were cautious, or was it because the paths were different? The Byeolcho group was still inside the redwoods.
I was quite curious about the places that emerged as the locations of Alexander and Ji-won Lee, but the names were different from the locations of Kid and Luger.
‘It means we’re the only ones here! Ugh, here we go!’
The three people checked their surroundings and walked quickly as if they did not want to fall behind.
Of course, you don’t go in a straight line toward your goal.
It is the natural instinct of ranged dealers to utilize the surrounding terrain!
When I narrowed the distance to 900m with the guy who was dawdling at a distance of 1.6km, the place where the three musketeers were was on top of a low hill.
All three began observing from a prone position, but were unable to see as clearly as below.
Kid adjusted his hat and asked Lee Ha.
“Do you know what it is?”
“…uh… um… I don’t know how to explain that-”
“Speak quickly and don’t hesitate. “The only thing useful for this subject is your eyes-”
“No, no, this time I’m not doing it to make fun of you, I’m just doing it because I really don’t know.”
Luger tried to hit Leeha again, but Leeha’s expression was more serious.
I didn’t feel like playing around.
“Is it because of what it looks like?”
“Um… it has something like horns on its face-”
“It’s a rhinoceros.”
“―Will you listen to everything and tell me? Anyway, it has horn-like things sticking out, and legs… well, I can’t count them. “I think there are about four or fifty.”
“hmm?”
“A body that moves around with very small legs – should I say it’s like a deer locust?”
Rhino horns, tiny legs that move endlessly, and a body like a giant crustacean.
Lee couldn’t figure out what to call that creeping, slow-moving thing.
Fortunately, there was someone nearby who didn’t really care what it was.
“I’ll give it a try.”
Luger quickly stood up and lifted up the cobalt blue python. The direction the gun was aiming for was clear.
“Now, wait a minute. Attack first? “Shouldn’t we first figure out the pattern?”
“That’s exactly it. “This is the fastest way to figure out patterns!”
“I’d rather go first-”
Before Kid could step forward, Luger had already pulled the trigger.
Kwahiah ah ─────────!
Not long after leaving the Redwoods, gunfire rang out once again.
What Lee Ha was worried about was not simply whether the attack would work or not. It wasn’t even about discerning the strengths and weaknesses of the monster.
As Luger said at the beginning, this is open space!
Not only are there no obstacles for sound to travel, but it is easy to find the epicenter!
Lee Ha did not even look at the new creature, but first looked at the surroundings.
I couldn’t tell when I arrived, but it’s different now. There may be monsters hiding somewhere 1km ahead.
“Kid! Please look over there at 11 o’clock. First of all, I’m looking this way, just in case someone comes-”
“…Are you sure?”
“Of course, really. “Then would you lie about it?”
Swish, swish!
Kid asked Lee Ha again, who quickly turned his head and looked around. But something was strange.
It was then that he felt that Kid’s voice was not directed at him.
Moreover, when he confirmed that Luger, the person who fired the gun, had a stiff expression on his face, he also felt somewhat uneasy.
“…no way?”
Below, I turn my head to the point where I hear a sound in my cervical spine.
The new monster at a distance of approximately 900 meters did not turn gray. The guy’s body was really curled up like a locust.
“I guessed right… but you’re not dead?”
It was because I didn’t use the skill. Damn you monster!
I couldn’t even hear Luger complaining. Complaining like that sounds like an excuse when you’re at the level of a field boss. But what about that monster now?
You deflected Luger’s basic attack from an insignificant, ordinary monster that didn’t seem to be anything special?
“Is this really a new continent?… Damn, this could be fun.”
“This is not the time to be happy. “It started to change.”
With a gulp, Kid’s grip automatically tightened. It was clearly visible to the following eyes. The guy who was stretching out his rolled up body had changed from his previous appearance.
No, it should be said a little differently from the expression ‘change’.
“It got bigger.”
“Shouldn’t we be more surprised by ‘standing up’ than that?”
“I think it would be better to start worrying about your longer legs.”
The guy with the horn of a rhinoceros and a carapace body that deflects Luger shells was crawling on the ground and raised his upper body like a human.
The small legs, which were constantly moving, became long and sharp, like crab legs, showing off a terrible shape.
Should we say that the upper body was raised by a long bug?
Booooooo!
However, its roar was too strong to be treated as a ‘bug’. It was enough to send chills down the Three Musketeers’ spines!
