丰满多水的寡妇

“Yes! If you ask for our Guild Master’s help, I think you can get introduced to Korea’s top rankers. Shall we test our luck?”

Hyein, the guild master of the Byeolcho Guild, was ranked 8th in Korea. When one reaches that high level, it is possible to have connections to the top rankers.

In other words, Kijeong’s offer was the most realistic and safe way to get the maximum value if he sold the lunch box.

“You can sell it at as high a price as possible. Hyung, if you sell this one, a lot of people will be interested.”

“Yes, I know. I know.”

If someone else said this, Leeha might have thought that they were trying to scam him, however, because he knew that Kijeong was thinking about his wellbeing, he had no doubts.

As Kijeong said, if Leeha sold the lunchbox, it would be an enormous help to the cost of living for Leeha and his mother.

Kijeong made this suggestion while thinking about the wellbeing of Leeha and his mother.

“Okay. I will need to think about it first.”

However, he didn’t want to make this decision so easily.

A sniper does not pull the trigger immediately just because the target was visible.

“What do you need to think about! Wow, you’re stuffy.”

“Kek, I need to think about it carefully. Oh, I don’t have to tell you to keep this a secret, right? Not even to your guildmates.”

“Eh-hey! I’m a college student. Business Administration! Do you think I don’t know that?”

What was the relationship between business administration and keeping a secret? Leeha just smiled when he saw Kijeong making a fuss.

It was then that someone spoke.

“Oh, isn’t it Ha Leeha-ssi?”

“Hmm?”

Leeha and Kijeong turned around. Not calling Kijeong, but Leeha? When they turned around, they saw a familiar face.

The speaker had shining armor. Now that Leeha looked at it again, it felt like it was much whiter than the full-plate armor that Kijeong wore.

“S-Sacred Knights!”

He was flustered.

He knew very well what the Sacred Knights did.

Were the people in charge of defending the capital talking to them? It did not happen often, and it was obvious why.

They looked for criminals, felons or dangerous individuals of the Fibiel Kingdom!

Because that was their main purpose.

Contrary to the tense Kijeong, Leeha casually scratched his head.

“Oh, that, your name… … Sir Shindonggaahd… … Was it?”

“Is he someone you know, hyung? Sir Shindong? Is he a user? What? Was there any user among the Sacred Knights?”

Kijeong asked hastily.

Right, this Sir Shindong person only pretended to know Leeha. And  the two Sacred Knights, who didn’t know what the word Sir Shindong was, had embarrassed expressions.

“Yes?”

“Pfft.”

Digrom, standing next to Sir Syndergaard, laughed. How could they call someone who had the title “Sir” like that? As expected, the Outlanders were strange. He had that thought. And Sir Syndergaard  or ,as Leeha called him, Sir Shindonggaahd cleared his throat.

“It’s Sir Syndergaard.”

“Oh, Sir, Sir Syndergaard. Yes.”

Why was the NPC name so difficult to pronounce? Leeha felt his face burning with shame.

What the hell were they doing! How did they come across this situation? Kijeong stabbed his side.

“What’s up?”

“What’s up? We were just passing by and greeted you because you were here.”

No way. Leeha was not so stupid.

When Leeha noticed what Sir Syndergard wanted to hear, he quickly said.

“Ah yes. Thank you. If you’re concerned about it, you don’t have to be. I released it in the southern forest.

“I see. That must be why you were able to enter the capital. Thank you for your cooperation. However, we really just wanted to say hello.”

Sir Syndergard laughed after he listened to what Leeha had said.

Was it just really for greetings? Leeha stared at Sir Syndergaard’s face. Syndergaard, who met his eyes, turned to Kijeong with a soft smile.

“The person next to you is a Byeolcho guild member.”

“Huh? Yes. He is Master Kay.”

“I have often heard the news that you are toiling to stop monsters from attacking in the mountains of the western border. I give you my thanks on behalf of the Fibiel Kingdom.”

As Syndergaard finished speaking, his expression towards Kijeong softened a little.

In fact, he was only hunting in order to level up.

“Then. Ha Leeha and Master Kay. See you later. Shall we go, Sir Digrom.”

Cindergard politely said goodbye to Leeha and Kijeong and turned around.

“Waa……. This is the first time that I spoke to the Sacred Knights.”

Kijeong opened his mouth as he watched them as they walked away.

“What? It’s the first time?”

“Huh! I passed 150 fame a while ago. Is it because of that? No, he recognized our guild… … Eh? No, it shouldn’t be. Come to think of it, you were talking to that person, hyung! What did you do? What is it?”

“Didn’t I tell you about the “little” bear. I couldn’t enter the capital with it. That’s why I released it yesterday.”

“Aah. So the ones who stopped you were the Sacred Knights? Hey, I am getting mistreated. You can even have a cub.”

Leeha skipped a lot of information in his story.

If Kijeong knew that the “little” bear Leeha referred to was at least 50% larger than the normal monster bear, he might have raged. He might go insane if I told him.

“By the way, you have 150 fame?”

“Huh. To increase your fame, you have to hunt hard. It was almost like drying the seeds, so it rose a little. Anyway, there’s nothing easy about this game.”

“Right? ‘I have 80 right now.”

“-uh?”

Huh? Kijeong froze.

“How?”

“That…I do not know. I got it when I completed a quest.”

The first 30 were received when he became an honorary guard at Candle Castle. It was received by completing all the hidden quests related to the Black Angus and achieving 100% intimacy with the guards.

Then he got another 50 from the achievement Sacred Knight’s Respect.

In other words, Leeha had never gained fame by hunting monsters.

“No way! Don’t the fame quests start at level  200?  I haven’t even done it yet! Did you do something for a mercenary guild or a merchant guild?”

“I know about the fame quest… … No, what should I say?”

“Amazing! Is this really your first time playing Middle Earth? Do you know it’s like an unknown attack route?”

“Is there any way to do that?”

Leeha could only scratch his head. Obviously, he did something very different from the normal gameplay. Therefore, Kijeong had difficulty understanding it.

For him to understand, Leeha had to explain everything.

And in the first place, the Sacred Knights talked not because of fame, but because of an incident involving the cub, and Leeha’s national contribution.

“Huh… … That’s absurd. It makes sense because it’s completely absurd. I don’t know if you are really great or really unusual. I wonder what else you will do in the future.”

“Don’t expect anything. I just want to level up fast and make money.”

“That’s right. I see. You can level up quickly from here. It’s better than Candle Castle.”

“Here?”

They stopped walking at that moment.

“Yes. here.”

He pointed his finger. A sign called Brown Bess Musket Academy caught his eye.

“Wow! This is the best musketeer academy on the continent? … The place is so… …

“Is it shabby?”

“Very.”

It wasn’t what he expected.

“Would 2 gold be enough?”

“Oh, right. Thank you, Kijeong-ah.”

Now that gunpowder and bullets could be purchased at wholesale prices, the two gold given by Kijeong would be a huge amount of money.

If converted to real world money, it would be around 200,000 won, so it’s a considerable amount. Leeha was very grateful to his cousin.

“This should help with all of your urgent issues. You wouldn’t need to sell your armor, shoes, and cap to other people for no reason. You should use it as much as you can before selling it. And there is nothing to be grateful for. You can pay it back later.”

“Of course. I will  pay you back as soon as possible.”

“Tsk, hyung! Don’t say that. Oh, and be careful. That fire bear item… … It’s true that you were the one who caught it, but if the raid members at that time got to know, you would get into trouble.”

“Trouble?”

“Yes, it’s okay if they just want to talk, but there is a possibility that they may bother you.

When it comes to consideration, they would have none for Leeha.

He only attacked after the raid team got completely decimated. He didn’t even join the raid team in the first place, so he had no obligation to give the items out.

However, human psychology did not work that way.

“It’s something special.”

“I know you’ll do well, but if there’s anything, whisper. If you are in a hurry, I will come immediately.

“Thank you.”

“Thank you. I will also benefit when hyung does well. Heh, I have to go hunting again after completing the quest.”

“quest?”

“Huh. I came to see tangled things, but I also came here because I have work to handle in the capital.”

The secret to being adherent is not to waste time. Kijeong smiled and raised his finger to point at a building.

A magnificent religious building, fenced with high walls, caught Leeha’s eye.

“What is that? A church?”

“Kukkok, it’s similar. It’s the temple of ‘Apollo’. Jobs that use white magic learn skills and receive quests over there.”

“Speaking of which, that isn’t the academy, is it?”

“It is.”

Leeha once again looked at the Brown Bess Musket Academy.

Compared to the Temple of Apollo, it was less impressive than a warehouse.

How old was the wooden nameplate that the words ‘Brown Bess’ could not be seen properly.

“The difference is huge.”

“The size of the training center was said to be proportional to the number of users. There aren’t many musketeers, so they won’t need a large building. When the number of users increases, the building expands or something.

“Sigh… I don’t like the way things are going.”

Leeha looked at the size of the building.

It’s similar to when kids discriminate against  other kids by asking them,’Is your parents’ house an apartment or villa?’ Leeha felt it was a bit cruel because Goople made it so realistic.

“Hey. The temple where professions like Paladins, Templars, Priests, Sisters and Monks all share, You shouldn’t compare it with a single-occupation range dealer like hyung.”

“Okay… … I know, it just feels like that. Thanks anyway. Goodbye and see you again next time.”

“Kek. Anyway, work hard, hyung!”

pong-! With that sound, dirt rose from the ground.

At the same time, it quickly blew away as if a bullet was fired.

“Wow…”

Leeha was incredibly surprised by the Templar’s sprinting skills. How frustrating it must have been to keep pace with Leeha.

“Well……. then.”

Leeha took out the letter of introduction that had been folded inside his bag.

[Brown Bess Musket Academy.]

Whether he liked it or not, Leeha would need to base his activities here in the future, so there was no need to think of it in a bad light from the beginning.

“Shall I enter.”

It was no exaggeration to say that it was at this moment   that he would be reborn as a real musketeer.
