‘What I’m looking for is a hint as to where the Demon King’s army vanished. There’s no need to go back to the early days of the second human-demon war.’

These are the things Leeha skimmed through. It should be in the records of the final battle that took place in the Marching Plains.

‘There were 33 scrolls of reports for only one battle. Let’s look at it from here first.’

He scrolled through one scroll after another to gather information. He quickly found information about that fierce battle. After the battle was over, a series of information for collecting the dead bodies, evacuating the wounded, and sending a small number of pursuers in the direction of the Demon King’s retreating army to finish off the rest.

‘I found it.’

Leeha found one sentence in this sea of messy scrolls.

[The Demon King’s army retreated toward the strait between the Kraven Kingdom and the Fibiel Kingdom. Kraven’s navy broke through the besieged sea.]

[Through the collaboration of the Serpent and the Kraken, who survived during the second human-demon war, Kraven’s navy was defeated, and the main force of the surviving Demon King’s army went to the Sea of Dawn.]

[Fibiel’s high-speed ship tried to pursue them, but without Kraven Navy’s assistance, it was judged that it would be impossible to pursue – Additional testimony.]

‘Sea of Dawn. It is in the east, where the sun rises. Did they cross the sea? No, besides that, if it’s the sea-‘

Leeha opened the quest window. In addition to Browless’ quest, he also had another quest. Right here!

‘Fernand! The quest to find a new continent!’

The user called the Pioneering King! He had a quest to bring the man who only explored the unexplored areas.

[New Land in the Sea of Dawn]

Description: Arrive at Aelstock, the capital of Fibiel Kingdom, with Fernand

Reward: Participation in the New World Expedition Fleet, Fibiel National Contribution +50

Condition for Failure: Fernand’s participation in another country’s expedition.

It was said that Fibiel is not the only one desperate to find Fernand, other countries as well. His help was essential to finding a new continent.

‘The fact that he still had not failed the quest… meant that no one found Fernand……. Does it become like this if a user decides to hide? As long as he didn’t go through all the unexplored frontiers with absolutely no information.’

Leeha’s chances of meeting Fernand were close to zero.

‘Did the low-leveled ones skip it because they were afraid of areas without information on what danger lies ahead? And the high-leveled ones didn’t want to bother wasting time looking for him?’

Leeha was curious. The direction in which the Demon King’s army disappeared was east,

beyond the Sea of Dawn. And the place Fernand wanted to go to was the east, a new continent beyond the Sea of Dawn. In addition, Fernand said that he was attacked almost as soon as he reached the New World.

‘Surely……’

What was on that continent that humans had not yet touched? An ominous thought crossed Leeha’s mind. Once he judged that Browless’ quest requirements had been met, Leeha decided to look for additional testimonies.

‘If I want to go to the new continent, I need to know what’s in the sea-‘

There was nothing wrong with knowing what kind of attack was in advance to prepare for when he would be included in that fleet. However, the additional testimonies presented to him were ridiculous.

-The distance from the Demon King’s army is about 5 nautical miles, a distance that could be followed by a high-speed boat, however, the head of the helmsman exploded with a strange noise.

-A mana wave was not detected, and any search magic, including using detection, did not result in finding any abnormalities in the surrounding areas.

-Another personnel was entrusted with the steering but his head also exploded. The distance was already 6 nautical miles.

– Wood elves guessed that the ‘Matan’s Shooter’ was included among the troops of the retreating Demon King’s army. It was judged that it was impossible to continue pursuing.

“What is this?”

Why did the word ‘Matan’s Shooter’ appear here? Besides, the testimony was absurd. 5 nautical miles is equivalent to 9.6km, and 6 nautical miles is more than 11km!

‘Someone aimed for a headshot at the distance of 10km or more, and it was successful……?’

It’s not even on flat land, but on the sea with raging waves, on a ship? The [Legendary Black Bass] was a sniper rifle with tremendous destructive power. However, at this moment, Leeha had no choice but to shake his head. It was impossible to even aim in that situation, let alone think of hitting the target.

‘If it’s real, that would be insane. No matter how good the sniper rifle is, it’s impossible. If the real world’s standard is taken into account, aiming at 10km, wouldn’t that mean that you also had to take the curvature of the earth into account…?’

But this was Middle Earth, there were records of it being done. He did not want to give up on the sniping field, even if he had to give up on other fields.

‘However…… it is possible here?’

An immediate task roughly came to Leeha’s mind. Anyway, after the incident with Petyr, he had something to think about. Leeha took the necessary information and left the Royal Archives.

***

“I’m back, director-nim.”

“Hmm. Welcome back.”

Browless was leisurely drinking tea. It was a natural reaction for the NPC who was not yet aware of what was going on in the royal palacw.

“I have the information you had asked me last time.”

“……It must be about the Demon King.”

“Yes. And I have something else to tell you.”

If he wanted to get an additional hint about Lotzac, it would be better to tell Browless about everything. Leeha talked about the king’s attempted assassination which started with Shin Nara’s quest, the situation of being on the brink of war against Minis, and the traces of the Demon King’s army.

“It’s Lotzac again……”

“Yes. He is suspicious, but we don’t have any evidence, so even the Sacred Knights couldn’t do anything about him.”

“Because he is a very thorough man. Well said, Leeha-kung I will have to contact the royal palace myself.”

He was a member of the Three Musketeers. He was in a shabby academy now, but if a war really starts, he will soon be summoned anyway. He also understood Leeha’s intention to prepare ahead of time.

“And about the Demon King’s army.”

“Yes.”

“I guess this is the last thing I need to talk about.”

“If it’s the last…”

“[Matan’s Shooter].”

[You have completed the quest ‘Traces of two people-1’.]

[Traces of two people – 2]

Description: Brown, Elizabeth, and I enjoyed hearing the stories of the [Matan’s Shooter]. As a person who used the musket, how could we not be swayed by the statement ‘He didn’t miss his target no matter how far away’. However, that statement is a bit strange. Why did the Matan’s Shooter, who had no story throughout the second human-demon war, only appear while they were retreating? First, investigate the legend. If [Matan’s Shooter] is really in the Demon King’s army, they cannot be traced hastily.’

Browless is concerned with the title ‘Matan’s Shooter’. He wants you to investigate the existence of the legend.

Requirement: Obtain the information of [Matan’s Shooter] from the dark elves

Reward: Quest- Traces of two people-3

-Do you accept?

“It was……from a legend?”

Leeha carefully examined the quest window. The legend of Matan’s Shooter…. He had to look it up himself. It was his nickname after the guild war between Hwahong and Byeolcho. There was no way he would not be interested.

‘In the real world, it is the name of an opera.’

Does Middle Earth have a different legend?

“Yes. That’s what we heard too. The one who handles the power of the devil who won the battle against the gods, Matan’s Shooter.”

“Battle against the gods……”

“It’s funny. Because it isn’t a human legend in the first place.”

“If it’s not from humans-”

“Dark elves. A legend of a cursed race. Unlike the wood elves, who received the divine power, the dark elves are said to have received magical power from [Matan’s Shooter] and this was the story of the birth of their race. The legend of the [Matan’s Shooter] is from the first dark elf.”

“Right.”

Was it related to the elves this time? In the last sentence, he also saw. The person who testified that Matan’s Shooter had the power to accurately pierce the target at a distance of more than 10km was a wood elf. Can the wood elves feel the power of dark elves?

“Find a dark elf somewhere on the continent and gather information about [Matan’s Shooter]. How did the legend come about, and whether there actually was a [Matan’s Shooter] in the second Human-Demon war.”

If there was an entity that could snipe from 10km away, they would not have the ability to chase him. Before you could even feel their presence, they would have already put a hole in your head. Browless didn’t want to lose the next generation of the Three Musketeers.

“How do I find a dark elf? Will they talk to me? If it’s a cursed race-”

“They are not really friendly with humans. Their residence is also unknown. It will not be an easy task.”

“What?”

“Please.”

“Oh?”

Is it like this again? However, Browless expression changed into a look of deep agony again. Find and obtain information about a race that is not friendly with humans, with their locations unknown, is cursed, and may have been on the side of the Demon King’s army during the second human-demon war…….

‘I don’t even think James Bond could do it either.’

Leeha knew it anyway. That no matter what he did, he wouldn’t be able to turn it back. Leeha quietly left the academy. On the one hand, it was also a reassuring quest.

‘Matan’s Shooter started to be mentioned directly. I must have caught up to Kidd and Luger to some extent.’

Did the two of them progress in this quest already? Have they met a dark elf? Even if Leeha asked, they wouldn’t give an answer.

“Well, they’re not the only one I could ask.”

Leeha could go to Holy Grill – capital branch.

‘Before that……. I’ll sort out the stats and get some sleep.’

He must have been connected for more than 36 hours. Leeha opened his character window.

Name: Ha Leeha / Race: Human

Job: Musketeer / Level: 159 (0%)

Remaining Stat Points: 72

“Keu. This is it.” (I’m not really sure what this means, is he trying to complain?)

Midnight Circus’ Target and Ranker Hunter, and two level ups, 72 stat points in total.

‘The Black Bass’ recoil is fatal. In particular, the shaking is especially strong when it is fired in a row.’

Leeha thought of his fight against Petyr in the Royal Palace’s garden. As an assassin ranked 5th in the global ranking, his movements were unpredictable, and the light suddenly disappeared so his eyes could not see, but the recoil could not be ignored either. ‘I have to allocate a little to strength. Of course, agility comes first but…… He needed to be able to bear the weight. Leeha allocated 25 points in strength, and 47 points in agility.

“Now I have 230 strength and 1,466 agility. Good. And before going to bed-”

Leeha stopped at the auction house. Most of the items obtained from the field bosses while trying to get the ‘One shot, one kill’ achievement was put up in the auction house.

After collecting the money, including the profits he received from Ram Hwayeon for having a share in Dale Castle, Leeha now had an unimaginable amount of money.

‘This……’

I need to take calming medicine before sending this to my mother’s bank account. Leeha left Middle Earth feeling like he would have a good dream.
