Chapter 63: 63

‘Haha, good. Let’s power level. If I keep going at this pace……

At this pace? There’s still a huge gap with Agromni Igor. Leeha’s expression, which had been a bit better, paled.

‘Right, it was not the time to feel complacent. I have to finish the hunt as fast as possible.’

Leeha unfolded his map as he exited the West Gate.

His destination was an abandoned mine to the west of Aelstock. Mount Sheymoore is dominated by the Kobold Hijuit Tribe.

“Waa, that guy runs so fast. What?”

“Yeah. Is he wearing a new pair of shoes? Why was he so fast?”

“I don’t think he’s level 100 yet, is it okay to buy shoes like that? But it’s really really fast.”

“Isn’t he using a sprint skill?”

“Sprint is for short distances, so it can’t be that. Are athletes playing games?”

The users were looking at Leeha, who was running towards Mount Sheymoore, with disbelieving eyes.

“Huu, I need to buy a horse or something.”

Leeha let out a sigh as he entered the village. He ran for three hours without break, from the capital to the northwest of Aelstock.

If Leeha, who was not bound by stamina, ran for three hours, other users might take a day to arrive.

‘Of course, those guys who have money could buy a horse, no, they could at least ride a carriage.’

The cost of carriage could also not be ignored.

In Leeha’s perspective, Middle Earth, no, Goople was harassing its users in various ways in order to prevent them from raising money.

‘The reason Middle Earth is so valuable is that they make users spend money endlessly.’

Even more, using the warp gate was unheard of.

“There are quite a lot of people.”

The first time one starts to hunt Kobolds was at level 30.

“I’m going to the base of Sheymoore! Level 31 Tanker! Invite me!”

“Mountain Wurm Party〜 for Level 35.”

“Looking for a good damage dealer to hunt Kobold warriors with, 1 slot left!”

Sheymoore Mountain was a mountain boasting a huge area with rugged terrain and was considered as ‘the mountain behind the town’.

‘If you divide it into parts, you can separate it into three areas: the base, the middle, and the top. Additionally, besides the kobolds, there are also mountain worms.’

A giant earthworm that hid underground while waiting to ambush its victims.

Leeha thought that it would be great if earthworms were turned into monsters in Middle Earth, but almost fainted when he saw the pictures in the community.

‘I thought it would be small because it is an earthworm……., I have never been more wrong. If I had to compare it, wouldn’t it be the size of a power pole?

Of course, since it was buried underground, its whole length was not shown but Leeha could smell the stench in Middle Earth all over it.

‘It is thick and creates an overwhelming atmosphere…’

It’s not a snake, but a worm with round teeth that has grown to the size of a power pole. Leeha stuck his tongue out and headed to the middle of the village.

Those who hunt on the base are between level 30 and 35.

Above all, he was relieved that he didn’t have to fight the Mountain Worm.

Those who hunt in the middle are level 35 to 40. In addition to having to deal with kobolds that have some combat ability, mountain worms also began to appear.

It was said that a mountain worm was as difficult to deal with as a three-man kobold scout party.

Lasty, the top of the iron mine.

Of course, he didn’t need to fight on the way to the peak, but the top of the mountain is usually called this.

There was an entrance to the iron mine formerly operated by the Fibiel Kingdom, it is where monsters like the Kobold Guard start to appear.

The appropriate party level is 40 or higher for a three-man party.

For a four-man party, it’s possible at level 37 to 38.

‘In the iron mine, there are storage and incubation facilities for the Hijuit tribe. They also have strict security.’

Fortunately, the village is not in the mines. If it was in the mine, Leeha would not have dared to attack.

“Hijuit Village Entrance Party! Here, dealer-nim! Would you like to go hunting with us? We also have a pretty healer!”

“Hmm?”

Leeha heard a cry as unfolded his map and examined the area of Sheymoore Mountain.

One-shot? When he raised his head.

“Are you talking to me?”

“Yes!”

‘Ara-ra, as soon as I got here……?’ Leeha recalled what the man said. They were going to the entrance of the Hijuit Village? Eventually, to the entrance of the iron mine.

This meant that they would climb halfway through the summit.

He came here to scout the kobold village anyway, so it would be better if he could approach the village entrance.

“You’re a dealer right?”

“Ah, yes. That’s right…

He was a very tall man, presumably a tanker.

“Also! Is that a gun you’re carrying on your back?”

“Ahh…. Yes. I use a gun. I’m a musketeer.”

“Hmm, it’s my first time seeing such a job. I am excited.”

Everytime that tank nodded, his helmet rattled.

“Yes? It’s a rare job.”

When you looked at it like that, it could be seen that the equipment of the Agonia Oso was quite beneficial.

“What level are you? We are a party of three. Are you at a level that would go all the way to the top?”

Since it was a three-man party, it meant that they would not accept low-levels.

If Leeha had not done research on the kobolds in advance, he might have vaguely said 30 or 35.

‘But if it is a three-man party, going to the entrance of the Hijuit Village…… what would be the appropriate level?

Leeha answered.

“I am level 41.”… Without changing his expression…

He was level 26, but if one looked at his stats, he wasn’t lying.

The tall tanker looked at Leeha’s equipment in the meantime.

A coat, boots and cap made from Agonia Oso’s leather.

Leeha exuded the presence of a level 40 user, not only with his stats, but also with his appearance. No, at this level, it would have been believable even if he said he was level 50.

“41? That’s perfect! Hmmm. If I was wrong, I would have just logged out. I guess I have no choice but to go hunting. Haha.”

“Ah, yes.”

Somehow, a bit of an annoyed tone was buried… ‘If it’s a bother, you can just not hunt.’

Leeha had an uneasy feeling.

“Sorry. It’s just a joke. Haha.”

“What?”

Where’s the joke? Leeha did not understand. He had a feeling that their personalities did not match each other.

‘Hmm…. It doesn’t seem like he’s being polite though.’

What was more unsettling was, he looked unreliable from the start.

“Who else is in the party?”

“Ah, we have a healer! You know, the pretty healer I mentioned? Hmm, you didn’t join because of the woman, did you?”

“W-what are you talking about?”

“Sorry. It’s just a joke. But our healer really is pretty.”

Gulp, Leeha barely swallowed saliva. He also felt a little bit guilty. In fact, he was truly a little drawn to the word pretty.

“Ah, here she is. Hana-chan! I found a dealer!”

Leeha was dazed and was not able to laugh.

“Yeah, yeah! Oh, this one? Hello! Nice to meet you. I am Mame Hana.”

She was really pretty.

Bright eyes and white skin. Forehead, eyes, and tip of the nose.

Half of her face was covered by a veil, which added to her air of mystery.

“You know you’re looking too hard, don’t you? After all, I’m not that pretty.”

“Oh, ah. Was I?”

“Hehehe, don’t say that, Ma-chan. I will get embarrassed.”

Mame Hana smiled shyly.

When she smiled, she gently lowered her head. It was as beautiful as a flower.

“Hmm, as expected… It’s difficult. What’s your name? Let’s party quickly and move on. If we stay here for too long, some strange people may appear.”

The tall tanker asked for Leeha’s name, and moved along with Mame Hana . Leeha quickly gave his name.

“Ah, yes, my name is Ha Leeha.”

“Ha Leeha! That’s a strange nickname. I am Matsushige, a level 42 Knight.”

“I’m a level 40 Sister, Mame Hana. Nice to meet you. Ha Leeha-nim.”

The party invitation window appeared in front of Leeha.

He knew without even asking. He thought they had an oriental appearance, but when he heard their names, it became clear.

‘They are Japanese.’

Leeha made a party with a Japanese tanker and healer.

He was assured as the level did not appear in the party window. The shared experience would be enough even with the gap with a level 42 knight and level 40 sister.

“Please take care of me. Level 41, musketeer, Ha Leeha.”

“Shall we go then? I will take the lead.”

Matsushige lowered his tone.

Shudder.

With his face covered, he became more knight-like.

‘Sasak’… Matsushige motioned towards Leeha and Mame Hana. It was a sign to stop.

“There are a lot of worker kobolds all over the place. We will turn around.”

“We’re not going to catch them?”

“Hmm……. You’ll see a lot of them in the future, we don’t need to hunt them right now. We need to save our strength and avoid the kobolds so that we can stay in good shape until we get to the village.”

Matsushige answered Leeha’s question.

His face was covered by the helmet, but it seemed like he was smiling a little.

From Leeha’s point of view, it was the first kobold he had seen, but from the perspective of Matsushige and Mame Hana, it was just a low-leveled monster that didn’t give much experience.

Worker Kobolds were the ones who came down from the village to the base of the mountain to gather resources.

They usually work in pairs of two, and even if they are fighting something for a long time, if they notice that they are at a disadvantage, they would run away……. Parties going to the top or middle of the mountain usually ignore them.

Letting them run away would only waste HP with no experience point, while chasing them was a waste of time.

‘But I haven’t tried it yet.’

What is the kobold’s health, and how much attack damage does Leeha have now.

Leeha said that he was level 42, but in reality, Leeha did not experience anything personally yet.

He didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

Even if one makes a mistake, shouldn’t one try when one had party members who could protect them?

“Matsushige-nim, could you please wait a minute.”

Leeha stopped the tanker and healer.

“Yes?”

“You said you didn’t know what kind of job a musketeer is yet?”

“Yes! That’s right, I haven’t seen one before.”

“How about you Mame Hana-nim?”

“No, I haven’t…”

The two Japanese shook their heads at Leeha’s question.

As expected, it was said that it was difficult to meet before level 40. Leeha nodded his head in agreement.

It was okay though. Because he could use this excuse to test it.

“Let’s go see it now.”

“Yes? You want to attack that kobold?”

“Yes. Shouldn’t we have a feel of each other’s abilities? I am completely different from archers.”

“Hmm, well. Let’s do that then.”

Matsushige nodded.

Leeha’s suggestion made sense.

It was obvious, but it was better to prevent endangering the party by knowing your party member’s abilities.

In that respect, what Leeha suggested was quite reasonable. It would be better to test it with a weak monster in advance.

‘Okay, it’s done.’

This would ensure safety even if one shot doesn’t work or two kobolds attacked at the same time. Leeha started reloading.
