丰满多水的寡妇

‘[Blooming Barren Earth]?’

Barren means that nothing can grow. But blooming?

It was the name of a place that Kid couldn’t immediately understand. Right now, rather than interpreting the place, I could only feel a kind of awe and jealousy at the same time that Luger had gone to a place that Kid himself had no idea about.

“I thought I had been moving around a lot, but… I can’t rest like this. “There are only people with no humanity.”

Kid groaned and got up again.

He didn’t know if the reason he was checking the location of the three musketeers at all times was to gain motivation or new stimulation to move himself.

Open the bag to check the number of bullets and also check the bullets currently loaded.

I also had to check both the belt on my waist and the speed loader in my bag so I could move for quick reloading. Peacetime preparation is the only way to hasten wartime action.

After rattling around like that for a few minutes, Kid was drawing up his own map of the new continent in his head.

“Now, which direction should we go next-… Hmm?!”

And at that moment, Kid had to believe his eyes.

In the Three Musketeers’ Friends window, Luger was logged out.

* * *

“hello!”

The following teleported to the Pope’s Square in Ezwene and took a step inside the Pope’s Palace. Ezwene’s guards, who were firmly guarding the entrance, bowed their heads as they received the following greetings.

“Welcome, Leeha. “What business have you come here for?”

“Ah, I have something to report to the Pope regarding the expedition to the New World.”

“I heard you. “I heard you successfully completed your expedition to the New World.”

“Hey, what’s great? That’s because other people are excellent. “Can I come in now?”

“of course. “I will guide you right away.”

These are the guards who guard the entrance to the Holy See.

At best, it means that it is an NPC with a similar position to the royal guard of the central palace of King Puviel’s palace. Even those guards were showing courtesy to Lee Ha first.

This was probably because not only did he handle the Demon King’s Army’s minion quest, but the continent’s common reputation on the Old Continent of Lope had increased significantly, and the power of the [Dignity] buff worked at the same time.

‘Hmm, I think he’s doing better than Pubiel. ‘Go into exile?’

Lee Ha giggled as he thought of something ridiculous.

Certainly, compared to dealing with Paleo people in Erica’s New World, I felt comfortable working in the Old World.

‘Hmm, there was a time when I sneaked in because I didn’t know how the Demon King’s army minions would act.’

Lee Ha recalled old times in front of the Pope’s throne room.

Then, all of a sudden, I became angry at Chiyo. If you think about it, didn’t the demon king’s minions also have a wide information network?

There can only be one reason why that is possible.

‘The Shinobi-gumi must have reached out even then. It is clear that he did not join the Demon King’s army… and only tried to gain benefits from outside. There is no example of a ‘user’ creating an information guild of that level like the Sacred Grill’s report.’

Now I know almost all the information.

In the case of Puviel, there were clumsy guilds created by users as information guilds or thieves guilds.

However, in the case of MINIS, there was virtually no information guild for users, and the reason was simple.

This is because the Shinobigumi controlled everything by using the information guilds of MINIS users as a ‘point organization’.

It was immediately after Chiyo’s death that the Holy Grill was able to extract high-quality information from Minis, so the information guilds created by current Minis users must be truly panicking.

‘Compared to the Rising Sun era… if the Shinobi-gumi were to suffer a blow that was close to complete destruction, it would be the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period in the future.’

Someone will step up to take the position of Shinobigumi, but it won’t be easy unless they have absolute charisma at Chiyo’s level.

‘That means the annoying guys who bother me won’t come out for a while! Leeha, if you just push through with force without fighting, it’s actually more of a welcome thing. If you shoot it from at least 2,500m away, it only takes one hit-’

“His Holiness tells me to come in.”

“-Kill- Ah, yes? Ah yes.”

The Vatican Guard looked at Lee Ha, who was showing a happy and delusional expression, with bewildered eyes.

Lee Ha also felt embarrassed and lowered his head.

Finally, the door to the Holy See opens, and I enter a familiar place that I have visited many times before.

The Pope and Cardinal Ezwene, who assists him, welcomed the following.

“Hi ha!”

“It’s been a while since I greeted you, Your Holiness.”

Lee Ha politely knelt down on one knee and bowed. The Pope NPC, who was set as an old man, got up from his seat and approached Leeha with an expression that looked like he was about to shed tears.

“Good job. You did a really good job. “I’ve heard countless times about your accomplishments, but seeing you actually makes me choke up.”

“You heard me?”

Lee Ha was momentarily taken aback by the Pope’s excessive greeting.

The Pope still seemed to be overcome with emotion as he hugged Leeha and patted her on the back. It was the cardinal standing behind who answered.

“That’s right, Leeha-dono. “Not only Fernand but even the Ancient Dragon was mentioning your achievements.”

“Ah…”

Lee Ha nodded.

I thought that coming late wasn’t really a bad thing.

If I had arrived first, I might have had a lot to say about business matters, including various reports. Since you come at the end, won’t you only be able to receive a warm welcome and a good meal?

“Now there’s only one thing left, right?”

“Yes, Your Holiness. Now that we have established a foundation in the New World, there is only one thing left.”

Its purpose is slightly different from that of ordinary countries such as Pubiel and Minis.

Unlike other countries that are interested in ash, Ezwene’s goal is clear. Lee Hae also clearly recognized the goal, so he was able to open his mouth before the Pope had to say anything.

“You just have to find Bluebeard and get rid of him. “A lot of users from the Old Continent – no, humans – will be deployed, so he will be caught soon.”

“Um, um, that’s right. okay. It’s just difficult to lay that foundation, but… okay. Now it’s in your hands. The fate of our Lope continent depends on you. Thank you so much. “I hope you will lend me your strength in the future.”

“It was nothing. “I just did what I had to do.”

When the Pope broke the embrace and distanced himself, Lee politely bowed again. When a new hologram window opened, white light emanated from Leeha’s body.

Your level has risen.

Your level has risen.

[Common Quest: If you hit the grass, a snake will appear]

Description: “There is a story that a powerful demonic energy is detected in the New World. If you examine those parts, they will definitely have something to do with Bluebeard. We have already requested cooperation from several countries as well as existing New World expedition members. “I hope you find traces of him in the New World as soon as possible.”

Bluebeard is not something that can be found through mana detection.

However, the story is different for other Demon Lords excluding him. Among the various information received from the New World, the Pope confirmed several places where the energy of the devil was strongly felt. Let’s find and confirm the demon’s strongholds throughout the New Continent and report it to the Holy See.

Contents: Confirmation of the demon’s base (2/7)

Reward: Link Quest – Tail Catching

Failure Conditions: If you fail to confirm the demon’s base within 100 days (Remaining period: 93 days)

Upon failure: ?

Do you want to accept?

* * *

‘Common quest—I see. Does this mean that the quest is shared by all participating users?’

Although I had never experienced this before, I was able to understand it just by looking at the situation below.

Facts that were not properly known recently only in the Old Continent.

This probably means that there are already seven demon strongholds identified by the Pope in the New World, and confirmation of two of them has been completed.

‘It’s a quest that is automatically cleared without me having to move.’

In fact, seeing as Leeha, who had just received the quest, was notified that 2 had already been found, there was a high possibility that someone would also solve the remaining 5.

Of course, someone from the existing New World expedition team, that is, someone with considerable skills, would be able to do it, but in any case, the possibility of ‘clearing the quest free ride’ was sufficient.

‘The problem is the deadline. If everyone thinks like me and gets away with it,

it is no exaggeration to say that we will literally fail.

The quest content seems relatively easy, and the reward is clearly revealed to be a linked quest, so it seems like the difficulty level is low, but I never felt that way.

A quest that touches human egoism.

What if I fail? You will have to take very large losses, for obvious reasons behind the failure penalty.

If it were like other users, I might have looked at this and that again. But there was no longer any fear for Lee Ha. Is this the confidence gained from both the upper and lower joints? Or is it because of faith in the items that will be obtained in the future?

‘If it doesn’t work out, I’ll clear everything.’

With a confident attitude, Lee Ha pressed the accept button.

“We will also do our best to find traces of Bluebeard in the New World.”

“It’s reliable. “Reliable!”

“Hey, Your Holiness. So… that….”

First of all, there was something that had to be dealt with quickly. Why doesn’t another notification window pop up? Only after Leeha had made a secret comment did the Pope put his hand on Leeha’s shoulder with a look of “oops” on his face.

“this! Right. Erica: A lot of resources must have been spent discovering the new continent. In the name of Ahlo the Lord, I have given reasonable compensation to the other members. The same goes for you too. cardinal!”

“Yes, Your Holiness.”

“Please guide me. “It’s our storage room.”

“All right.”

Lee Ha was inwardly delighted. That’s right, it should come out like this. First of all, taking care of the items is the most important thing!

“Please go.”

“yep. Then, His Holiness the Pope, I will come back with good news next time!”

“then! “I have no doubt about it.”

Leeha tried to follow the cardinal, but quickly turned around and bowed to the Pope. The Pope smiled happily as he looked at his polite attitude until the end.

After leaving the Pope’s audience room, Leeha looked at the quest once again.

‘Who discovered the two places? Hmm, maybe I should have asked that. No, whatever. If it’s a quest this loud, the Holy Grill will know about it anyway. People like Ki-jeong and Lee Ji-won might know better than that.’

Haven’t all of the existing New World expedition members belonging to Byeolcho already gone there?

Even in the New World, they may have completed a survey in one area as they mainly did party hunting.

Otherwise, Lee Ji-won, a master of solo play and a master of hunting. He must also be active in the New World.

Alexander had no doubt.

‘Mr. Fernand… well, I think he is more concerned about pioneering due to his personality. Anyway, if it’s an emergency, I’ll help you. ‘Because you must have received all of these quests.’

A quest that would have been suggested to all users who came to receive item rewards.

Of course, it is the same as a quest shared by all existing New World expedition members. Considering their power, it was natural for them to let go for an hour.

-What do you do?

-Uh, Kid! Great. I’m now at the Vatican, and Kidd also received this request, right? Are you looking for some kind of demon’s base? That’s not important right now.

-huh?

It was at that time that I, who was following the cardinal, heard an urgent whisper.

I wanted to share some information, but Kid, uncharacteristically, cut me off. Leeha felt some anxiety in Kid’s voice.

-What’s going on?

-I have nothing going on.

-What are you talking about? You didn’t contact me to joke around, right?

-But something happened to Luger.

-Luger? Is there any chance something will happen to Luger?

-Luger is dead.
