Chapter 410
“No way! “Is this the quest with that intention?!”
“oh my god… too bad! “It’s too much!”
“But if you think about it, it makes sense. Now what do those mermaids have to do with us?”
“I didn’t think from the beginning that we would enter the New World without blood, but this is so…”
Users murmured. Now everyone was thinking the same thing as Kid.
Kijeong sighed and settled the situation.
“They say people follow their names, but they really flirted with each other as they pleased… This is a quest that forces you to offer up one person as a scapegoat…”
A fact that Kid and the Expedition users finally noticed.
Location information is given as ‘pre-compensation’.
Clearing the quest is difficult.
then? One person acts as a representative, accepts the quest, listens to the location information, and then informs the expedition members…
“You mean I have to die alone somewhere in the ocean.”
“Strictly speaking, I wouldn’t be alone. “Because of the ‘Water Ring’, we won’t be able to go anywhere, and we’ll end up dying together with that mermaid with the long flowing beard.”
Can we say that the situation is better now than when we were unable to advance due to the Fishman and Mana Typhoon? The heads of the expedition members began to spin urgently.
There can be no volunteers for this quest.
Of course there will be a vote.
In that case, the basic rule is that no matter what happens, you must survive!
Middle Earth forced competition anytime, anywhere.
Even in the middle of the vast ocean.
* * *
Who will do it? The expedition members silently glanced at the other expedition members around them.
An atmosphere where no one can step forward because everyone is thinking the same thing. The tension, distrust, anxiety, and nervousness that suddenly spread among the members of the New World expedition were floating around the cabin.
-What are you going to do, bro?
-what.
―If you look at this clearly, it means that we should abandon the person who is the most unhelpful.
-is it?
―What does that mean? Can’t you understand the atmosphere? My brother is not a person who doesn’t get caught 100% of the time!
Kijeong was puzzled by Leeha’s sour reaction.
If you vote for the scapegoat, the only ones you can be 100% sure of are a few top ranked players, including Alexander.
Simply because you are a descendant of a hero or have achieved excellent results in a tournament is not enough to show off your business card.
Above all, this is not a team going to annihilate the pieces of the Demon King.
Strictly speaking, the main purpose of this quest is to ‘establish a pioneering base’ after ‘reaching the new continent’.
For that purpose, ‘construction of a mana relay tower’ is necessary.
In other words, among users who have nothing to do other than combat right now, there is a possibility that those with many overlapping roles will be selected at any time.
―Luger overlaps with his brother, and Armboost and Bobae, both of whom use crossbows, are at the same range. Well, considering the purpose of the reconnaissance, there is a higher chance that your brother will survive, but
anyway, you have nothing to worry about.
-why me! Bantal, the descendant of the barbarian hero, is also a tank. Moreover, those Giant Barbarians and the Amun Mountain Three Brothers are also semi-tank level. In the end, there are only 5 tank candidates. The chances of me getting caught are very high!
This was the reason why Ki-jeong confessed her anxiety to Leeha.
Feel safe because you have a legendary sword? No way.
Ki-jeong knew better that Bantal and the three Amunsan brothers must have hidden cards.
At this point, such a secret weapon was of little help.
“It’s a problem even if someone steps up for the cause. Even if Drake somehow erases the typhoon… The fishmen will continue to catch up.”
“If the two captains accelerate, the fishmen won’t have the speed to catch up. Well, it is clear that the sea area of the Dragon Palace is enormous… The duration of the acceleration will be interrupted intermittently… “I guess there won’t be any logouts for the time being.”
Feiwu politely expressed that he was ‘stepping up for the greater good’, but in the end, his intentions were the same.
Hook also appealed to himself about matters related to navigation, without making any rebuttal to those words.
The busier the ship is in danger, the busier the Kraven users. The ship does not move forward simply because the captain of each ship gives orders to NPCs.
If there were no veteran users to coordinate in the middle and coordinate their hands and feet even without the captain’s orders, the fishmen would quickly board the two ships.
In the end, Hook’s intention was that Kraven’s users must remain.
“It won’t be easy to deal with the fishmen during that period. Now you can only observe it with the naked eye. “No matter how much you see during the day, at night, without Euncheon and I’s searchlight, the vigilance would be meaningless.”
Rodin sighed.
A sculptor who actually realizes the function of the form of a sculpture. However, the duration of the function is not long.
Not being able to log out, being chased by fishmen, and having to constantly carve searchlights at the main mast’s watchtower would cause tremendous fatigue.
Rodin had that intention in his words. However, it did not sound that way to the users around them.
The dragon of the Dragon Knights came out with a frown.
“Well, you seem to have a thorn in your words, Rodin?”
“yes? yes?”
“Are you trying to tell me that the fishmen weren’t shown on Doctor Doom’s map this time?”
“yes? Oh no. That’s not it-”
Roubini’s somewhat mysterious yet elegant charm while wearing an eyepatch. Gaeryong brought up the story because he wanted to protect her.
The only thing I regret is that I didn’t think more about the repercussions of that statement.
“Did something like that happen?”
“that’s right. I didn’t know because Marlin Hoen Chiyo wasn’t there…”
“Rubini’s guidance on the New-Serpent was ineffective, right?”
A word that someone threw out, stemming from Rodin’s remarks and Gaeryong’s mistake.
It was like a drop of blood that fell into an aquarium with a school of sharks. In an instant, the cabin became quiet.
However, the New World expedition team are all worn-out people from Middle Earth.
It was a moment when many opinions came together as to who the target was, but the proof was that no one was looking back at Roubini.
Kijeong once again became afraid of the users in the cabin.
* * *
“But… Well, they say they step up and make sacrifices for the greater good, but to put it bluntly, isn’t the end result going to be death? I was walking around with the Captain of the Sea God Guard or something. “Isn’t that right?”
“I have the same thoughts as my younger brother. Someone has to die anyway. Moreover, if the cause is ‘sacrifice’… “Wouldn’t it be better if we could at least compensate ourselves for the death penalty and mermaid quest failure penalty?”
The radish master and the cabbage master each added a word. He must have already spoken sufficiently in whispers before opening his mouth.
“Hakit, I’ll take care of it in the end, so I’m telling you to eat and leave.”
The cynical Biyemi muttered softly.
JingGengGeng puts his finger in front of his mouth and says Shhh! Shh! However, the surrounding users had already heard about it.
To put it simply, the intention of the Taoist brothers and Biyemi was, ‘Let us make a general offering for the sacrificial lamb.’
Those gathered here are people who give strength to their necks in various fields of Middle Earth. There will also be a lot of valuable information about gold and items, as well as special achievements, etc.
What if you gather some of them and drive them to the person who was caught as a scapegoat? It may be a little disappointing to receive a penalty, but it also means giving yourself another opportunity to recover.
“Oh, that’s fine.”
“that’s right! “We need at least one person anyway, so it would be better if we don’t make each other blush, right?”
“Well then!” After all, he will come back once a pioneer base is established in the New Continent. And the most important [New World Quest] doesn’t have a death condition, right? “Only one person can survive.”
Although these users were familiar with all the details about the quest, they opened the quest window once again and looked at the main contents again.
[Beyond the Sea of Dawn]
Contents:
1. Construction of a mana relay tower on the Sea of Dawn
2. At least 1 out of 40 combatants arrive in the New World 3.
Failure
to construct a mana relay tower in the New World Condition: If 2 or more goals are not achieved,
you die. It does not lead directly to failure!
It’s as if this situation was expected from the moment the quest was first given!
“Hey, if you think about it that way, it’s not even a sacrifice! Rather, get good compensation from us here! “Until you complete the quest from the Old World to the New World, you can restore yourself and do other things without having to suffer!”
“It’s a bitch, it’s a bitch!”
You do it. Let’s vote. There was no such thing as that.
However, it was as if the situation had already been concluded as they glanced at Roubini, instilling dreams of good things to come in the future.
In other words, wouldn’t it be closer to group egoism?
However, it is natural in the human world that one does not want to sacrifice oneself. No one will throw stones at them.
There were a few users who kept their mouths shut while looking at the noisy users.
One of them was Lee.
‘It’s a quest to make a scapegoat… ‘If it’s Middle Earth, there’s a possibility.’
But is that really the end?
You linked up with the Captain of the Sea God Guard through < Water Ring > and created this quest to tell you to wander the sea and die?
Leeha took a fresh look at everything he had.
‘What can I do? What can I do? ‘Why should I do it?’
While closely examining equipment, achievements, quest windows, etc., Leeha asked and answered questions to himself.
‘It’s Middle Earth. This is Middle Earth. I don’t know about other people…’
At least I could know the following.
No, perhaps the only thing we can know is the following. How many times have you been stabbed in the back while playing a game?
Isn’t Middle Earth the place where things never go according to Leeha’s beliefs? So Leeha doubted and doubted again.
‘What lies beyond this quest?’
The intention of Middle Earth is not always one-story.
The suspicion that there must be something else at the end of this complicated pie-like quest. In the meantime, the atmosphere in the cabin was almost decided.
Even Roubini himself appeared to be just bowing his head and waiting for ‘disposition’ without making a separate argument.
She probably knows too.
In order for everyone on the New World expedition to survive, and for everyone to clear the quest, the best way is to step forward.
However, she did not have the courage to take the initiative, so she stayed quiet, and other users did not have the confidence to ‘execute’ her by directly expressing their intention to vote, so they waited for her to come forward on their own.
“… “You’re humane.”
Bailipus spoke quietly, but few people heard him in the noisy cabin.
Jeopuk, Jeopuk, Jeopuk.
Before we knew it, Alexander walked into the middle of the expedition group sitting in a circle.
Number 1 in the rankings and leader of the expedition team, of course a man who is absolutely necessary.
Alexander looked at each member of the expedition team and opened his mouth.
“Are there any volunteers willing to sacrifice for humanity?”
As of now, neither Lee Ji-won nor Luger will be able to make fun of him for being a concept junkie. With just one word from his deep voice, the atmosphere was instantly suppressed.
The majority of users did not want to make eye contact with the expedition leader.
Except one person.
“I will do it.”
The users were momentarily taken aback as they saw the person standing up and raising his hand. Because it wasn’t Roubini.
However, there was someone else who was even more embarrassed.
“Uh, uhh! Hey bro! Come on!?”
“Mr. Leeha!”
Ki-jeong was so desperate that he couldn’t pronounce Leeha’s name. All Shinnara did was call his name.
“… “If he was just pretending to be cool and hoping that we would stop him, then I was wrong.”
“Giggles, I guess he’s not that stupid. But I didn’t know he was such a jerk that he decided to do it himself.”
Kid and Luger also shook their heads slightly.
It may have seemed like teasing or cursing, but the essence of it was worry and concern.
They both knew very well that this expedition would require the following.
