Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

Ch 8

“Take this.”

Lepanto reached his hands into his pants. Biyemi burst into laughter when he saw Lepanto’s hands going to his worn-out rag-like pants, but Leeha waited patiently.

‘Where is he getting it from……?’

There doesn’t seem to be any pockets…… No way……? Leeha was thinking of terrible thoughts, what Lepanto took out was a small coin.

“This..?”

“Musketeer Browless of the Three Musketeers, he would know how to use that. Bring it as proof of what I said.” Leeha did not know what it was, but he put it in his inventory first.

“Then Lepanto-nim will now……?”

“……I have to go after them.”

“Who……? Ah, Mr. and Mrs. Brown?”

“I want to hear their answer… from that night. It would be less unfair for our comrades. Our comrades who got their lives ruined because of them.”

Lepanto grabbed his rapier tightly.

For a moment, Leeha and Biyemi’s bodies trembled at the bloodlust that Lepanto released.

“Then, thank you. I will never forget this grace all my life.”

“I-it was nothing.”

“I hope to see you again next time.”

Lepanto bowed to Leeha and left.

The one-armed Lepanto walked looking like a rag, without any armor or even shoes.

With such a figure, the rapier, ‘Brochet’, held in his right hand seemed to shine even more.

“Phew. He’s gone. Kiskis.”

“I know, right?.”

“Then, are you going to the capital again, Hali-Hali-nim?”

“Yes. I came here for the quest.”

“Kiskis, too bad. It would be good if we could level up together here.”

“Are you going to stay here, Biyemi-nim?”

“The Rising Sun guys don’t know that that person is an NPC…… they won’t be coming here for a while, right? Kiki. It is difficult to find a hunting ground without those bastards.”

The Lizardia frowned.

Leeha also understood Biyemi’s words.

If the Rising Sun guild members knew that they were hunting with Lepanto, it would be hard for them to come here. They may come back with members in their 70s or 80s, but Biyemi should be safe for at least a few days.

“Hali-hali-nim.”

“Yes?”

“Get stronger quickly.”

“Huh? Yes. Of course, I will.” Even if you tell me not to get stronger, I will still get stronger. Why are you suddenly speaking so seriously?

However, Leeha felt that Biyemi was not just talking empty words.

“Ah, Biyemi-nim?”

“Yes.”

“I need to be stronger to get rid of the Rising Sun, right?”

“Oh…… Kiki, Is that so?”

“Lepanto killed them, so it’s the same as me killing them, isn’t it? Please answer one thing.”

Gulp, Biyemi swallowed his saliva. Leeha considered several questions.

What should he ask? Biyemi’s true identity? Is he a Middle Earth staff? No, even if he knew, it did not matter.

There was one thing that was important to Leeha.

“Why are you helping me?”

“What do you mean help?”

“Information. The most important thing in Middle Earth was information. You tell things…… that are helpful for me. If you had something like that, it would have been better if you sold it for money.”

“Eh? Kikis, did I? Didn’t Hali-Hali-nim make a good guess after listening to me when I talk to myself?”

“Don’t joke. Because I’m stupid. I didn’t notice anything. Biyemi-nim brought up this and that to let me know.”

After entering Marching Plains, all of his stories were hints.

Hints that could be advantageously applied to Leeha’s future growth.

Giving something like that so freely.

“Why did you tell me those?”

What was Biyemi’s reason?

That was what Leeha wanted to ask.

He didn’t know what Biyemi really wanted. But Leeha wanted to know why Biyemi was good to him.

The lizard’s eyes narrowed. It was clear that he understood the intention of Leeha’s question.

“Because you look like someone with potential.”

“Potential?”

“To receive as much as I have given. Because Hali-hali-nim has such potential.”

Was he going to smirk as usual? Leeha saw that Biyemi had a serious expression as well.

‘In the end, it means that he is helping me because he thought that I could help him…… No, I am of no help to Biyemi. I can only fire a few shots with my musket.’

If so…… investment? Does this mean that Biyemi was looking into the distant future and is investing in Leeha? Is he going to be in debt?

“Kikis, why are taking it too seriously! Get back to the capital and grow stronger! Kikikis.”

“Even if you don’t see it now. The next time we meet, I will definitely be higher level than you.”

“Arara? Kikis, Jin Gonggong is already at level 23, won’t he catch up to us soon? Kikis.”

Giant Druid? When Leeha thought of Jin Gonggong, he smiled.

‘That simple man is already level 23…… It’s not like he did not have any gaming sense.’

Still, level 23 is faster than the speed of normal users. In comparison, Leeha, who was already level 34, and Biyemi who was already level 51, are simply monsters.

“Then, take care! Hali-hali-nim!”

“You take care as well, Biyemi-nim! And next time, don’t hide your dagger I won’t steal it from you, so you don’t need to hide it!”

“Eh?”

Biyemi looked at Leeha with an expression that he was caught in the act.

Reminding him that he saw everything during the battle.

“Haha, see you next time!”

“Haha, I can’t win. Goodbye, Hali-Hali-nim!”

Leeha smiled and left the Marching Plain. His next destination is the capital.

He felt that he crossed a mountain, and encountered another mountain.

‘Phew…… I have completed one quest.’

Will this end? It’s not just his word, but it’s fortunate that Lepanto gave me this coin as proof…… however, Leeha’s anxiety did not go away easily.

‘It took over two days. If it ends like this, I would clear it very quickly.’

Of course, it was possible because of the power of money. If one thought about the distance from Aelstock to Nitai…… he would have barely made it if he went on foot.

“A total of 8 silver and 50 copper.”

“It’s that much?”

“I gave you more since the items are from Marching Plains.”

“Keu……. Okay.”

Leeha got out of Nitai’s general store with a few more coins in his bag. He picked up a lot of sundries and sold it, but didn’t have much money.

The Rising Sun guild members dropped one boot and one helmet.

He gave one to Biyemi and sold one for only about 70 silver.

‘If I subtract the warp cost to Aelstock, I have 88 silver left. Phew.’

Being happy for having 7 gold in the capital felt like a dream. Of course, he changed his musket, but…… for some reason, the more quest he got, the more Leeha felt like he was losing money.

“Still, I can’t take it as a deficit.”

Leeha walked towards the warp gate and opened the notification window.

He couldn’t help but laugh when he saw the descriptions.

“Hahaha……. Right, I can earn money anytime. But you can’t buy this with money.”

[Achievement:: Sheriff of the Lawless Zone(D+)]

Congratulations You have killed criminals with Chaotic Index of 200 or higher! Is murder justified? Of course! I would like to ask for order in Middle Earth from now on.

Reward: 9 stat points

[Achievement: Hero of PVP(B-)]

Congratulations! You have won a battle against a user with 30 levels higher than you! I hope you continue to prove you didn’t win by luck. Become a hero and ruler in the world of PVP, and make a name for yourself as a legend! Until the day you can defeat your enemies with just your name!

Reward: 13 stat points.

There were a total of 22 stat points. As soon as he dealt with the first blow to the Rising Sun, who was chasing Biyemi, he got two achievements at the same time.

At that time, Leeha was level 33, so the guy that had a Chaotic Index of 200 or higher must have been level 63 or higher.

‘Right, if you have a hole in your head, it’s over! Kek. Even those kinds of idiots can reach level 60……. I also need to level up quickly. By the way, there weren’t any extra points even though it’s B-?’

Interestingly, he didn’t get to the Hall of Fame.

Users who did not even know such a thing exists would say so, but for Leeha who had gotten to the Hall of Fame a few times, it was rather disappointing.

‘If it’s PVP with 30 level difference, it won’t be normal. It was an achievement that was not an exaggeration to say that is practically impossible……

It was similar to him fighting a level 1 user. The difference of 30 levels was so large that it was impossible to even consider losing.

‘It was at B- difficulty. But 3 people were able to do it……?’

Those kinds of people can not be easily seen on Middle Earth. Leeha opened his character window and organized his stats.

‘The required strength for Spitfire was 60……

The high-quality musket has twice the attack power of the needle gun. Although it was 18 gold, the Kobold’s Eonwoldo has not yet been sold. Leeha thought that he could buy the Spitfire once the Kobold’s Eonwoldo was sold.…….

‘Isn’t it better to buy a musket that was dropped from a hunt than a musket from a shot anyway?’

What if I sold the Kobold’s Eonwoldo and buy a musket at the auction house?

I might be able to get a musket that is stronger than the Spitfire. There was no reason to spend 18 gold to purchase an item from the store.

‘More than anything else, it hasn’t been long since I switched .’

He knew best that musketeers don’t rely on their weapons.

37 stat points were invested into agility without any second thoughts.

Strength: 52(+37)

Agility: 368(+139)

Intellligence: 55(+40)

Constitution: 81(+33)

‘Hehe…… My agility is almost 370. How many levels does it equal? Right, my goal is 400 agility!’

I will need to level up 7 more times to get to that.

However, Leeha was also aiming for achievements. He stood in front of the warp gate with the grand ambition of 400 agility before level 40.

“I’m going to the capital, Aelstock.”

“The capital of Fibiel Kingdom, Aelstock. 1 person. It costs 80 silver.”

“Here!”

Leeha handed out the coins readily.

Now, he had less than 1 gold left. I hope there won’t be another time that I have to go this far!

Shuwaak-!

The magic circle was engulfed in light
