Reader - Chapter 137

‘3?’
3 quests were created.
‘Then there are four?’
There was already a special option on <Mage Ryan’s Invisible Staff>. In other words, when he completed all quests, he would have 4 special options.
Soo-hyuk opened the quest window and then checked what conditions must be completed to unlock the options.

Soo-hyuk thought after checking all three quests.
‘It’s more difficult, isn’t it?’
The quests to unlock <Mage Ryan’s Invisible Staff> hidden options were even more difficult than those for <Yarion’s Wrath>.
For <Yarion’s Wrath> it was 10,000 monsters and 20,000 monsters. All special options could be unlocked for a total of 30,000 monsters.
However, <Mage Ryan’s Invisible Staff> he had to catch more monsters and had to cast a number of spells as well.
‘still… …’
It was harder, but he was still excited. Unlike with <Yarion’s Wrath>, he wanted to open up special options.
‘Let’s use this and not sell it.’
When he got <Yarion’s Wrath>, he didn’t feel any regret about selling.
‘I should store it and open up the quest slots.’
Soo-hyuk decided to store the sword and open up the options.
‘Because I have to look for other libraries soon anyway.’
Soon he would have read all books in the Hard Rock Library.
In other words, he had to find another library, and while traveling there he would be able to work on the quests to unlock the options.
Having made his decision, Soo-hyuk opened the equipment window and pulled out <Yarion’s Wrath> and put it in the inventory.

[Quest <Yarion’s Wrath 1> will be deleted.]
[Quest <Yarion’s Wrath 2> will be deleted.]

The moment <Yarion’s Wrath> entered his inventory, the messages appeared.
Soo-hyuk saw the messages and equipped <Mage Ryan’s Invisible Staff>.
Then, after pressing the [Unequip] button, he closed the equipment window and turned his head to see <Yarion’s Wrath> moving from the equipment window to Inventory.
‘This is much more comfortable.’
Thanks to <Mage Ryan’s Invisible Staff>, the worry that remained in the corner of the heart completely disappeared.
Soo-hyuk closed the inventory with a relaxed expression.
Then, using the Warp Circle, he warped to Hard Rock.
ungseong-ungseong
Soo-hyuk left the Warp Gate and passed waiting users.
While on his way to the library he checked the time.
‘Since it’s 6 o’clock, I can still read for about 5 hours.
The current time was 6pm. Excluding the evening hours, he would be able to read for about 5 hours.
“Here I go.”
Soo-hyuk, who soon arrived at the library, left his Mage’s Badge and went straight inside. And, as he always did, he looked around the bookshelf once.
As expected, no new books have been unlocked. Soo-hyuk returned to his desk and began reading with five white books.

———————————————————

Jang Yul said nothing.
He just looked at the monitor with a lost, thrilled expression.
It was then.
Kkiiig
The door opened and Yang Joo-hyuk entered. Jang Yul didn’t give a gaze even though Yang Joo-hyuk came in. Jang Yul’s gaze was only on the monitor.
“…?”
Yang Joo-hyuk was puzzled and approached Jang Yul’s seat at the reaction of Jang Yul, who did not spare him a single glance.
“What are you watching?”
And Yang Joo-hyuk, who arrived at the seat of Jang Yul, saw Jang Yul’s ecstatic expression and looked at the monitor.
“..Ah”
A question mark appeared on Yang Joo-hyuk’s face looking at the monitor. He wondered what Jang Yul was fascinated with, but there was only some item information displayed on the monitor.
“Mage Ryan’s Invisible Staff?”
It was <Mage Ryan’s Invisible Staff>.
“Ryan’s?”
Then, with a sudden thought, Yang Joo-hyuk frowned.
And like Jang Yul, Yang Joo-hyuk stared at the monitor blankly. However, in contrast to Jang Yul, he wasn’t lost in thought as long.
“It’s been discovered?”
Yang Joo-hyuk asked Jang Yul.
“… … That’s right.”
Jang Yul, who was out of mind, answered Yang Joo-hyuk’s call.
“Did someone else than him get it?”
Yang Joo-hyuk asked again.
Jang Yul didn’t say anything. And that was enough. Yang Joo-hyuk muttered with a deep sigh.
“Why did that staff appear…”

—————————————————-

“Thunderstorm!”
Blam bam bam!
A lightning storm was cast and lightning strikes rained down from six spheres floating in the sky.
-Kwiig!
-Kwiiiiig!
-Kwiiiig!
The Red Snakes, who had been stunned for 5 seconds because of Yeon-jeung’s skill, were unable to avoid the thunderbolts and began to scream painfully.
‘When should I ask him?’
However, Lilith, who cast Thunderstorm, was not looking at the Red Snake. She was looking at Yeon-jeung’s back in front of Red Snake.
‘How should I ask where he hunt?’
The reason Lilith stared at Yeon-jeung was because of Soo-hyuk. Currently, Lilith had to locate Soo-hyuk.
‘I think it would be strange to ask him…’
If she were to ask where Soo-hyuk was? It would be strange.
‘He might notice that I’m selling information.’
Beyond thinking weird, he might notice.
‘Maybe I can ask him before I leave.’
After clearing the dungeon, Soo-hyuk disappeared immediately. At the time, she didn’t ask because she didn’t need to get Soo-hyuk’s location.
‘If you need a location, tell me before that, why did you tell me so late?’
Lilith recalled Sun’n’stars, the leader of the Dokgo Guild, who wanted the location of Soo-hyuk.
“Five! Nice! Level up!”
It was then. When Red Snake died, Yeon-jeung shouted.
It seemed like he leveled up after hunting the Red Snakes.
“Oh, congratulations.”
“Thank you!”
“The EXP is pretty good. It would have been nice if Soo-hyuk stayed with us.”
Lilith talked and naturally mentioned Soo-hyuk.
“Haha, that would have been. If we stayed together, we could have found and hunted more.”
“By the way, where does Soo-hyuk usually hunt?”
Lilith watched Yeon-jeung’s attention while speaking with him, and asked carefully.
“Soo-hyuk?”
Yeon-jeung asked Lilith’s question.
And after thinking for a moment, he said.
“It was an unexplored area in the Resha Kingdom…”
“Resha kingdom was unexplored, right?”
“Yes, he said there were monsters that were very weak against poison in some unexplored areas. He told me he’s hunting those.”
“Oh, I see.”
At Yeon-jeung’s words, Lilith nodded.
“Oh, I remembered it!”
The moment Lilith nodded, Yeon-jeung thought and exclaimed.
“The Grassland of Life! The monsters there have a high level, but they are particularly vulnerable to poison and he could hunt them easily. So, it’s easy for him. And the town is also quite close to the location, so it’s easy to go back and forth.”
“Ah, is he playing solo and not hunting in a party?”
“Yes, Soo-hyuk loves solo play.”
“Oh, so he likes solo play.”
Lilith nodded once again.
“I’ll kite it!”
Yeon-jeung said to Lilith, who nodded.
“Mhmm!”
Lilith replied, and Yeon-jeung went straight away to aggro the Red Snake.
-Lilith: I found it.
As soon as Yeon-jeung left, Lilith whispered to Sun’n’stars.
-Sun’n’stars: Where is he?
Soon after, the answer came from Sun’n’stars.
-Lilith: He is supposed to hunt in the Grassland of Life, one of the unexplored areas of the Resha Kingdom.
“If it’s the Resha Kingdom, isn’t it the Hwarang Guild’s area?”
Commander frowned.
“Right. It became a little troublesome.”
Sun’n’stars nodded and answered. The Hwarang Guild could be called the No. 1 guild of the Resha Kingdom. The Dokgo Guild had a bad relationship with the Hwarang Guild.
It could be said that the situation was quite awkward now, when they had to go to the Resha Kingdom to catch Soo-hyuk.
“We can’t work in the village. There is a high probability of crossing paths with the Hwarang Guild. I think it would be to get him in the Grassland of Life.”
“Yes, I’ll do that.”
“Are you going right now?”
“Yes, I still have something to prepare.”

-Doran: I see. Then I’ll contact you when they appear.
A whisper came from Doran.
-Yeon-jeung: Thank you.
Yeon-jeung thanked Doran as he ended the chat.
‘Now, back to this.’
After finishing the chat, Yeon-jeung started running around and looking for Red Snakes. He was deep in the Red Snake’s habitat that it wasn’t long before Yeon-jeung was able to find three Red Snakes.
Yeon-jeung pulled a rock out of the inventory. Of course, it was not an ordinary rock. It was a special rock that caused a weak electric shock to the enemy it hit.
Shuaak!
Yeon-jeung, who pulled out the stone, threw the stone at a group of 3 Red Snakes aiming for the middle one.
Tug! Jjijijig!
-Kwiiig!!
Soon the rock hit and emitted a spark, and the Red Snake spit out a angry roar. Then it started rushing towards Yeon-jeung. The other two Red Snakes followed.
Yeon-jeung led three Red Snakes rushing towards him and thought, while returning to Lilith.
‘I hope I am wrong. At first I thought my suspicions were nonsense. However, the situations that took place over time kept following my suspicions.
‘If my suspicions are correct… …
Yeon-jeung frowned. What if he was right? What should he do if the suspicions he thought were nonsense became reality?
“Haahhhhh……”
He just sighed.
