Matan’s Shooter - Chapter 182
Chapter 182
A fanfare rang out with the sound of applause. He hadn’t heard the pabam sound in a long time-! The sound was pleasant to Leeha’s ears.
[You have completed the quest Miss Elizabeth’s Will.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
‘Two? I’m level 144, and I leveled up twice?’
The message was as surprising as Browless clapping his hands. It was a quest that gave him enough experience to raise his level twice at his current level!
“It seems that three chances were a luxury to you. I didn’t expect you to pass in only one try. I was surprised.”
“Hmm, I am more surprised to be honest. I didn’t think I would succeed.”
Leeha shook and shrugged his shoulders. The truth was he wasn’t confident.
However, he had faith. The belief that his shot would definitely not miss.
Seeing his bold look, Browless burst out laughing.
“With the exception of her, it was rare for Brown or me to succeed in one shot…”
“What?”
“No, it’s nothing. Anyway, she always insisted that those who hit it at the first try and those who hit it at the third try have different skills. That is probably why your level has risen rapidly.”
“Ah…”
Leeha could understand Browless’s words.
It meant that the experience points obtained differed depending on how many tries one made. Leeha was able to raise by two levels because he succeeded in his first try.
“Congratulations, Leeha-kun.”
“Thank you, director-nim”
“‘This’ is going to be tough.” Browless smiled softly. With a smile that didn’t look scary at all, even with the burn scars and eyebrows missing, he tapped Leeha’s shoulder.
[Achievement: Next Generation – Accuracy] Congratulations! You have become the successor of the Three Musketeers recognized by the continent. Just as the Three Musketeers of the previous generations saved the continent from crisis, there are great expectations for you and your companions.
(The news about the completion of the next generation of the Three Musketeers will soon spread to the continent.)
Reward: 18 Stat points,
Continental Reputation increased by 100,
Fibiel Kingdom National Contribution increased by 200,
Location information sharing between the Next Generation of Three Musketeers
You are the third registrant of the achievement of [The Next Generation of the Three Musketeers].
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: 18 Stat points,
Continental Reputation increased by 200,
Fibiel Kingdom National Contribution increased by 400,
‘A+!’
Even an A-Class was huge. If it was at that level, out of the 100 million Middle Earth users, there were less than a thousand users who have it.
‘What’s more, the continental reputation increases by 300?’
The condition for entering the Royal Palace of the Fibiel Kingdom was 300 or more continental reputation, and 500 Fibiel Kingdom national contribution or higher. It meant that even if he had no reputation or achievements before, he would still get a free pass to the Royal Palace once he got this achievement.
It was said that the Royal Palace, which was the most difficult place to enter in the Fibiel Kingdom, could be entered with only one achievement. It was enough that it could sound like a scam.
There was also an additional 54 stat points that came with it. It meant that he had obtained additional 10 levels without doing anything.
“That’s…… huge. No, it’s not enough to say that this is huge……. What should I say-”
“Are you pleased?”
“It’s not just pleased! Oh my gosh! Doesn’t Director-nim suddenly look cool?”
“Seeing that you are even joking, I think I have been treating you too well these days.”
“Haha, no sir! Thank you, director-nim!” Leeha took a tight, attentive posture. It was so great that it was literally in the description.
‘This is because the ‘previous generation’ of the Three Musketeers achieved outstanding achievement. Wouldn’t it be great to be the successor of the three people who had the role of saviors with outstanding skills among the human allied forces?
“You shouldn’t be surprised by something like this.”
“What? Ah!”
“The real thing hasn’t even started yet, and you’re already like that. Let’s go back.”
Browless tore a scroll. That’s right, it wasn’t just an achievement that Leeha would receive upon completing the quest. Leeha and Browless arrived at the academy in an instant.
A matte black musket hanging on the wall in the collection room caught Leeha’s eye.
‘No, it’s not just a musket.’
[Rapid fire] Kidd had the ‘revolver’. [Pierce] Luger had something close to an ‘Armor-Piercing Cannon’ that could penetrate obstacles.
If so, what about [Bullseye]?
Browless picked up the musket hanging from the wall.
“This is yours now. Elizabeth…… cough-”
After clearing his throat a few times, he looked directly into Leeha’s eyes.
“-please.”
Leeha received the musket handed over by Browless.
[You have acquired Black Bass.]
At the same time, a notification window appeared in front of him.
[Traces of two people-1]
Description: I will order a member of the next generation of the Three Musketeers to find traces of the two missing people, Mister Brown and Miss Elizabeth. It isn’t just for my curiosity. If those two really belong to the Demon King’s Army…… Even though the next generation of the Three Musketeers had been formed, Browless had a dark expression. He seeks to find his two companions who disappeared in the second Human-Demon war. Find their traces first.
Content: Acquire information on ‘the place where the Demon King’s army withdrew during the second Human-Demon War’
Reward: Traces of two people-2 quest
-Are you sure you want to accept?
“Are you telling me to find Miss Elizabeth?”
“That right. If the two really became members of the Demon King’s army, it would be a big deal. There are rumors that the movements of monsters on the borders of each country are increasing.”
“If they became active-”
“It’s about having organized movement.”
There were monsters who have their own villages, but Browless wasn’t probably talking about that now.
Is he talking about those who have no social skills showing organized movements?
“Are you saying that the Demon King is about to appear again?”
Do you mean he’s behind this? In response to Leeha’s question, Browless kept his mouth shut for a moment.
“I’m not sure.”
But there was a possibility. Leeha remembered the achievement he had gained before.
After slaying one of the surviving monsters of the second Human-Demon war, the Kobold Chieftain Hijuit-Ka, there were words written.
‘To stop the third tragedy…. I have to become strong before that time comes, right?’
He had a feeling. It was part of the main story of the game, the main quest line!
Leeha looked at the quest window again. There was no condition for failure. There was no reason to refuse.
“Okay. I have to check the location where the Demon King’s army retreated.”
“Hmm. They have completely disappeared from this continent. Even those Sacred Knights could only track the small fries, but the real threats couldn’t be found. You must find the traces of those who have completely disappeared.”
“I understand. Ah! I wanted to ask.”
“Hmm?”
Leeha grabbed the Black Bass that he received from Browless.
‘It’s light.’
Even though he was used to the Hummingbird that would not lose to any other musket in terms of lightness, the Black Bass felt lighter.
But that was it. At least in Leeha’s eyes, it was just a nice and light ‘decorative musket’. It wasn’t the great musket that Leeha expected.
“How do I use this?”
“What?”
“I met Kidd and Luger. they-”
“Ah, you meant that. That…… I don’t know either.”
“Eh?”
“[Black Bass] was used by Elizabeth. Even I couldn’t transform it.”
“……You mean……”
“You have to find out for yourself. That’s how it’s supposed to be.”
Browless smiled and touched the brim of his hat.
‘He left out everything that’s complicated and wants me to figure it out myself. Damn it!’
Well…it couldn’t be helped. Leeha had no choice but to nod his head in understanding. Turning around, Browless said to Leeha.
“The direction won’t be different.”
“What?”
“No matter what Black Bass turns into, the place it needs to go will be the same. It would be difficult to handle with human power.”
“What do you mean?”
“Well?”
It’s been a long time since Leeha heard Browless being so talkative. And one person came to mind as soon as he heard his tone. After pondering for a while, the name of the person came to Leeha’s mind.
“Hmmm, Director-nim, I’m not sure if I could ask this but……. Did you tell Kidd vague hints as well?”
“No, I can’t do that to my student. I taught him all he needed to know about the [Crimson Geckos].”
What a cheap shot!
When Leeha’s pupils enlarged, Browless smiled.
“Go to the Adamantine Mountains. The answer will be there.”
“Ada- Ah……! As expected. Okay.”
“What, you already knew?”
When Leeha put on a relieved expression, Browless pursed his lips as if saying, “You’re not fun”.
“I was just guessing that it would be.”
“Well, someone who passed Elizabeth’s test couldn’t possibly be stupid. Good! I will look forward to it, Leeha-kun.”
“Thank you, director-nim. Then, until next time.”
Leeha left the academy.
There’s no way he didn’t know what Adamantine mountain meant.
‘Dwarfs……’
That’s what I have been thinking all along. Leeha felt pleased with himself that his guess was not wrong.
“Okay then-! Shall I test it a little?”
The Three Musketeer’s quest had no condition for failure so he could go slowly. Next was the [Blass Bass]’s turn. The detailed information of the [Black Bass] was displayed in front of Leeha.
