Chapter 389
TL: xLordFifth
ED:
“Waaak! Hyung! This is the headquarters of the Sacred Knights! You can’t scream!”
Without even listening to Kijung, Leeha screamed louder.
Come out!!! You traitors are pathetic! This was the fifth time Leeha spewed out childish words.
“Hmm, cough. Why are you yelling? I was just about to leave, what’s wrong with you?”
“You notice things quickly. I was going to blow your head as soon as you left the capital.”
“You have a good sense.”
Shadows appeared from all over the blind spots of the Sacred Knights headquarters.
Kidd, who was hiding his expression by pressing his hat as if embarrassed, Luger, who was grumbling without realizing it, and Lee Jiwon, who looked flustered.
They were watching the tournament from the beginning, and when they saw Leeha doing something, they hid and observed!
Leeha always got unusual achievements or quests with his unique behavior, and because they knew that Leeha had grown like that, so they watched him with the thought of getting something out of it.
“Ugh, I can’t believe I have to sail for over 60 days with people like this! Anyway, you guys come here! I have to pick 20 people out of all these people. I have to finish this within the day and send it to Fernand-ssi!”
Leeha was upset! When he shouted the three of them walked faster.
“Kijung, I don’t have the authority to evaluate you, but I will help you. It will be a dangerous voyage we will have to risk our lives. It needs to be closely examined from many aspects. Ah, the video-”
“Here! How can you do this? I brought all the videos to watch.”
As Leeha was about to settle down and give orders to the people gathered, Shin Nara rushed out of the Sacred Knight’s headquarters.
She was holding a bunch of small projector-like items, similar to the item Leeha used to record at the Royal Archives.
“Huh? Nara-ssi? Nara-ssi, are you also a descendant of a hero?”
“No. I heard there are only 40 seats. I can’t take that away from them.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
Shin Nara put down the projector items under her feet and greeted the
confirmed members of the new continent expedition who have gathered.
“I, Shin Nara of the Sacred Knights, will be participating in the new continent expedition under the authority of Fibiel Kingdom as the general inspector. Please take care of me.”
A joint operation in which all countries on the continent contributed materials and manpower. It was perhaps natural for such a position in addition to the number of combat personnel.
However, to maximize the combat power of the users, they did not take away the position of 40 combatants and took up the position of inspector.
That must be the power of Shin Nara.
“Indeed… I guess it wasn’t just a rumor that she is the closest user to becoming an NPC.”
Kidd quietly admired.
“As expected of Shin Nara. Okay! Then let’s get started!”
Leeha clapped! He encouraged the gathered users. The evaluation work started when the moon was rising and continued until the moon set.
The next morning, the list of 20 members of Fibiel’s new continent expedition was sent to Fernand.
“Wow! Thank you for your effort!”
“Kuwaaa…… it’s hard! I have never even studied this hard for a test before!”
Kijung laid down and threw away the pile of papers There were quite a few familiar names written on the evaluation papers fluttering around.
[Master Kay, Templar, Hard tank, and decent melee damage.]
[Hyein, Sage, Space Magic can be maximized after the construction of the mana relay tower.]
[Biyemi, Venom Mage, strong continuous damage, high understanding of the system.]
[Jin Gonggong, Druid, secondary healer, reconnaissance through polymorph and auxiliary healer.]
[‘Ascendant Baeju’，-]
[‘Ascendant Mu’，—— ]
[‘Bald Panda’, Martial Artists, can temporarily ‘run on water’.]
[Gaeryong, Lancer, excellent close-range dealer, has mid-range damage dealing ability using javelin.]
[Eunchon, sorcerer, excellent ranged attack damage using totems.]
Name, occupation, simple characteristics, and even scores for each detailed evaluation that followed!
“Damn it, why are you evaluating these guys, I could kill them in a row!”
It took such a long time that Luger’s pomade was starting to get loose, he fixed his hair that was sticking out and complained to Leeha.
“You’re noisy, Luger. Are you a superhuman? There’s no use being strong alone on a 60-day voyage. What was Lee Jiwon-ssi going to say just now? It’s obvious even if I don’t hear it, so don’t say it.”
Leeha comforted them.
However, that wasn’t the problem.
This work, which everyone thought was finished, was actually just beginning.
“Now, let’s go to Ezwen. There must be a string of candidates in Minis, Shazrasian, and Kraven, so we have to go and select them.”
What they have completed so far was only for one country, Fibiel.
In other words, it meant that the candidates from each country must be discussed all night long again with the members of the selection team who were in charge of evaluating each country and the final decision must be made!
The users’ expressions hardened as soon as they understood the meaning of Leeha’s words.
“……I suddenly remembered something and-”
“If you log out, I won’t let you in again, Kidd.”
Leeha caught Kidd trying to run away without even looking at his clothes.
“Leeha-ssi, this is too much…”
“Nara-ssi, you are also Fibiel’s inspector, so you have to work hard. It’s for Fibiel’s national interest. I will not go easy on you.”
Shin Nara tried to be cute and cry, but it didn’t work either.
“There is no time to rest. Everyone is already gathering in Ezwen, so let’s go. Now! Now! Stand up! Hurry! We’re running late!”
Like a mother waking up her children in the morning to send them to school, Leeha tormented the users.
Everyone knew that this tedious and annoying work must come first for the perfect navigation to the new continent.
However, knowing and doing were completely different.
‘Hyung is really great. A sniper isn’t a sniper for nothing.’
Many users could not help but develop respect for Leeha, who voluntarily(?) meticulously prepared.
***
Boom.
As soon as the door to the pope’s audience chamber closed, an NPC knelt and prayed.
“God, please forgive them……”
“Why are you doing this? What’s wrong, cardinal?”
A priest user, startled by something completely different from usual, ran over and asked the NPC.
“I…… I can’t bear to say those words with my own mouth. What a feast of those vulgar words they have uttered in front of His Holiness!”
The cardinal shook his head with a pale face. The priest user didn’t quite understand.
“As far as I know, it’s a meeting for the final selection of the new continent expedition…… I don’t know what they were talking abou-”
“Isn’t it wrong to say things like ‘You’re an idiot’ and ‘I’m going to split your head’ in front of the pope? Oh, oh, but, for the sake of the continent and humanity, His Holiness held back from letting such vulgar words cloud his mind! Lord, protect your earthly agent’s mind.”
While listening to the cardinal NPC’s words, the priest user could not help but feel absurd.
‘Isn’t it said that the people gathered were the best users in Middle Earth, including Alexander? And they said something like that in front of the pope?’
The priest kept tilting his head as he watched the cardinal close his eyes and pray sincerely.
The discussion, which was so intense and active that the NPC freaked out, took another full day as Leeha expected, and ended on the third day just in time for Fernand’s initial planned deadline.
“I-It’s over! Excluding the descendants of heroes or people whose participation had already been confirmed! This is the finalized list of participants from the tournaments! No objection, right?! Do you have any objection to the decision of the expedition leader?!”
“Speak now if you have any objections. I will blow everything from your shoulders down if you raise your hand later.”
Luger slammed his head on the table-! And he left a single sentence.
With everyone exhausted and collapsed in the pope’s audience chamber, Fernand took a piece of paper, approached the pope, and gave it to him.
“Your Holiness, this is the list of participants for the [New Continent Expedition]. In addition to the 23 people listed here, including the descendants of heroes and those who have already confirmed to participate, the final confirmed count is 40.”
“Thank you for your… hard work, Fernand.”
Shyaaaaa-!
When the pope tapped his shoulder, white light erupted from Fernand’s body.
The arduous quest to level up the pioneer king had finally been completed.
“Contact the selected individuals and immediately announce the start of the [New Continent Expedition]! Fernand, when is the possible departure date?”
“We can depart as soon as Kraven’s ships are ready, Your Holiness. We have already made contact, so it will be possible as early as tomorrow morning.”
“Good. Then, please complete all the maintenance today. In two days, you will set sail on a long journey for the peace and safety of humanity in this continent.”
A notification window appeared in front of the other users, who were exhausted from the extended meeting and were lying around freely, forgetting that they were in front of the pope.
[The Last Supper]
Description: How do you spend your free time each day? A voyage of more than 60 days would not be easy.
Content: Gather in front of the Vatican at 8 am in two days
Reward: Achievement – 2nd New Continent Expedition
Condition for Failure: Late
Penalty for Failure: Disqualification of New Continent Expedition force
– Would you like to accept?
‘Late. Where could they find such a crazy person.’
Leeha burst out laughing when he saw the absurd failure conditions compared to the fairly bloody quest title.
However, the content was by no means funny.
The voyage risking the survival of humanity in Middle Earth had now begun.
“Since I won’t be returning for a while, Peytor-nim should take care as much as possible.”
“Don’t worry, Lord-nim.”
“Bottleneck has completed the water-based perimeter system, so there won’t be any raids. Do you have the file I wrote? What to do during an invasion.”
“Of course. Everyone is aware of it.”
Leeha had already made instructions on how to operate the city, including how to lead Gaza City in case of emergency.
And memorizing it was a natural thing for a butler NPC, not a human.
“Please prioritize the safety of residents over urban development.”
“Don’t worry. We will carefully store weekly income reports and settlement amounts in a safe.”
“Okay, I believe you!”
Leeha patted Peytor’s shoulder and encouraged him, then immediately logged out.
‘It’s only 2 days later in Middle Earth. No, exactly 38 hours later. I can roughly sleep for 6~7 hours.’
Leeha wondered if Middle Earth had become his reality, but did not think about it deeply.
Will they simply explore the new continent?
‘There’s no way. I promise once this adventure ends-’
What if he pooled all the settlement money from Gaza City with the items he would get during the New Continent expedition?
‘Will I finally achieve the treatment cost?’
Leeha instinctively knew that he could finally reach the minimum surgery amount of 2 billion won.
‘Now, I have to sleep quickly. This life which would make even the onlooker sad will end soon!’
Roll, roll, the arm pushing the wheelchair tensed, and strength went to it.
