Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

Lee Ha took the first step.

A width so narrow that only one person can fit in.

It was definitely different from Lab No. 6 and others. The path was in one direction, not a maze, and there were no traps set up.

Light was coming on from time to time.

I could almost feel that there was no device to prevent outsiders.

‘More than anything…’

It wasn’t deep. That alone can be said to be clear evidence that safety is guaranteed.

Considering that other research labs had a similar feel to underground dungeons and were grandiose, this place was extremely ordinary.

Rather, it could be considered a simple basement.

At most, it goes down to the second or third floor underground.

Lee Ha, Kid, and Luger were finally able to find a door.

“Well, if possible, let’s just make it an open structure. “Why did you have to make another door when you were using it alone?”

“The moment I grabbed the door, lightning struck me and knocked you out, Leeha you-”

“Don’t be so mean, Luger.”

The tightly closed door was a regular type with a handle.

Luger was joking and Kid was laughing, but Leeha was serious.

‘It really won’t happen, right?’

Since this is a game where you always get caught in the back at the last moment, I started to worry about this now. Leeha had the courage to reach out, grab the doorknob, and push.

Kiyi….

The door opened without any problem.

At the same time, paaaaat! The fire inside came on.

“Even though it was created 50 years ago…”

“Are you saying that the mana system is still operational?”

Luger and Kid, as well as Leeha who opened the door, couldn’t help but be surprised when they saw the inside.

The brightly lit laboratory was quite neat, unlike other places. The items inside also seemed to be fairly well preserved.

“Are you ready?”

“Are you not mentally ready now? If so, it’s okay to give in. Let me go first-”

“Don’t be ridiculous! “I’m a workaholic!”

The moment Kid was about to solemnly step forward, Lee Ha lightly tapped his chest and pushed him forward, extending a foot first.

Taaaaagh!

As soon as Leeha’s feet touched the ground, a fanfare sounded in his head. Bbabam-!

〈Achievement: First Discovery – Kaztor’s Laboratory No. 7 (A)〉

Congratulations!

I found an unexplored place. Unlike other laboratories, Laboratory No. 7, where the dark elf Kaztor lived and conducted research, is in a good state of preservation. We must find out everything about what he did as he traveled across continents and found a new research center. Because we don’t have much time.

Reward: 34 stat points

(This is a non-Hall of Fame achievement.)

* * *

“Ah… That’s right. Come to think of it, I think No. 6 got the achievement at the same time, but Kid and Luger-” “

At the same time? What kind of idiot did you step into? “If you were that stupid, I should have taken a quick step too.”

“I agree.”

“Well, okay. Since you say that, it looks like you didn’t get the achievement. “I will tolerate you cursing once in a while.”

Lee Ha suddenly remembered the time when he discovered Laboratory No. 6 and looked back, but the situation was different then.

Unlike in the past, when Fernand, Jing Geng, and Lee Ha took steps at the same time, all three were able to obtain an achievement without a Hall of Famer, this time, Lee Ha clearly earned the achievement alone.

Even if Kid or Luger comes in later, the achievement will not be created.

‘I heard that Middle Earth has a generous side even though it’s harsh. Even though, strictly speaking, there is no concept of ‘simultaneity’…’

At least the same party members – I even remembered that Lee Ha was only in a party with Jinggeonggeong at the time, but not a party with Fernand – will not fight among themselves. Was that the intention?

Anyway, Leeha was satisfied with the stat points that only he had earned, and looked at the details of his achievements.

“Uhm….”

“What is it?”

“Speak quickly. “Do I have to groan with a head that doesn’t work to find the answer?”

“No, wait a minute.”

Lee Ha took a step away from Kid and Luger, who were urging him on, and checked the text again. When I thought back to when I opened Kaztor’s Laboratory No. 6, I also remembered the accomplishments from that time.

‘different. The wording is definitely different. Unlike the old saying, ‘What about old dust~ Be careful of the Guardian?’,

I couldn’t confirm the following, but it would have been no different from No. 1 to No. 5.

It was natural to assume that most of the laboratories in the Old Continent of Lope would have posted the same message.

This is because in the text of achievement No. 7 itself, there was an additional expression, ‘Beyond the continent~’, as well as a part that directly pointed out, ‘Unlike other labs~’.

‘Then what is this last sentence?’

[You have to figure everything out. There is not much time.]

Lee Ha somehow felt that her heart was pounding.

The more I get to know him, the more dangerous he seems to be. I also had concerns.

Should I tell this to Kid and Luger, or should I save it?

The two people exchanged glances and exhaled louder.

“Huuu….”

“If there is a secret to introducing achievements, there is no need to hesitate.”

“…Are you sure you don’t want to tell me?”

Luger and Kid once again urged Lee Ha.

It was true that I wanted to talk about it right away. They say it’s better to have a blank piece of paper in front of you, but how terrible is this worry?

However, the following was spared.

“First, let’s find out what information is inside. “I’ll look into it and talk to you later.”

Kid and Luger were also able to organize their thoughts as they turned to see Lee Ha walking inside with a rather serious expression.

It was natural to assume that this lab was very important and that the introduction to the achievements contained something very important.

“Damn you. “You cherish it so much.”

“It’s like a waste of money.”

Of course, without forgetting to add one word at a time, they also moved into Lab No. 7.

* * *

“It looks like there’s quite a lot of material… but it’ll be hard to see it all in one day.”

Lee Ha, Kid, and Luger began to move through the lab in different directions.

The number of books on the bookshelf is quite large. There are quite a few rolled up scrolls. Moreover, I couldn’t help but be interested in the traces of the magic circle that still remain on the floor, clearly showing that some kind of experiment had been done.

What should I look for first?

The following is a scroll, and when Kid headed to the magic circle, Luger first pulled out the book closest to his hand.

“Isn’t it better than nothing? hmm?”

And then he frowned.

“why? “What do you have?”

“…Damn it. “Middle Earth is Middle Earth.”

“What is it?”

Hearing Luger’s words, Leeha and Kid came to his side and looked at the books. And then I could see why Luger frowned.

“what is this? How do you read it?”

“I thought I was able to find a lot of information… Is it an unreadable text?…”

It looked the same to all three people. The contents of the book were nothing but curly and worm-like letters.

“What other books?! “Surely everything?”

“If that’s the case, it’s just an illusion after all—”

Leeha and Kid quickly dispersed and began to open books and scrolls.

As they opened one book after another, their expressions darkened. Some books were readable, but most books were written in unreadable characters.

“what! There are so many, but you can only read so many of them, right? At this point, it’s only slightly more than the information left in No. 6…”

“Hmm… If this happens – no, no, no… that’s right.”

“…iced coffee. Right.”

It was at that time that the expressions of the three people who were randomly shuffling through documents changed little by little.

Can’t read? Why can’t I read it?

All three have a history of visiting the royal archives of the Puviel Palace. There, Kid and Luger, as well as Lee Ha, looked at documents they were interested in in their own ways.

At that time, all the documents in the royal archives of the Puviel Palace, which was as vast as the universe, were ‘readable.’

I realized that Middle Earth is a hassle, so I don’t make books for interior design.

So, why are the readable and non-readable parts mixed together? What should they do now?

The three people closed their mouths, not trying to say anything, and quickly looked at their respective quest windows.

Of course, everyone was looking at the same thing.

[In search of the lost records of the Dark Elves]

Contents: Retrieval and return of the Dark Elves’ materials, including the 《Magic Bullet Marksman》 diary

‘This is the Dark Elves’ data. Even older materials that Kaztor carried 100 years ago! Books handed down from the ancient times of the Dark Elves! If it is obvious that current human users cannot understand these characters, then the significance of this item’s existence is—’

Leeha’s eyes rolled again.

In that direction, Kid was already looking into Leeha’s eyes.

Luger’s fingers twitched, a very faint movement. That was the signal.

Paaah ─────────!

“Hands off everything! Since I joined Ilppa, it’s all mine!”

“It’s okay if you give up your achievements, what more do you want?” “I will clear the quest!”

“You idiots! “Do you put books in your mouth?”

At the same time, the three began to randomly sweep various scattered, unreadable documents into their bags. Unless you know how much you have to take to satisfy the clear conditions, you have no choice but to take whatever you can.

“Hey, Jelapong! “Sweet up all the books!”

[Mmmmmmmm…!]

“W-wow, that’s a foul!”

The book that Kid is trying to catch has Gelapong’s arms attached like string! It stuck and went away.

“What is that jellyfish?”

It was no different in the case of Luger.

As he moves to randomly sweep up documents and put them into the bag, Jelapong clap, clap, clap the documents that are about to go into the bag, as if he were fishing. I pulled it out in succession.

“You thief!”

“What about a thief? It’s the owner who takes. Gelapon! Put it here, here! good job.”

[Whispering….]

Leeha stuffed the documents into his bag and petted Gelapong. It felt a bit squishy, but seeing his smiling eyes must have made me feel very good.

“Wuuu… Have you covered everything now?”

Leeha felt lucky that she didn’t have many magazines, so she filled her bag with books to fill it up.

After causing so much commotion, the interior of Kaztor Lab suddenly felt empty.

Now all that’s left is readable material.

“I guess no one caught something that could be read in a scandalous way, right? “If you get caught, all your arms and legs will be blown off.”

“I don’t believe there is anyone that is that mean and stupid.”

“Why, why, are you both looking at me? Do you think I took it with me? “It’s really absurd.”

Leeha grumbled to Kid and Luger and counted the remaining materials.

It seemed like they were acting indiscriminately, but on the other hand, it suddenly occurred to me that such competition might be the most efficient way to solve the secrets of Kaztor Lab.

‘If I had held on to every single thing I couldn’t read, I would have wasted time…’

After taking all of them as quest items, the three of them interpret what they can read in common?! What a fast and efficient method this is.

Perhaps it was because Kid and Luger had similar thoughts, but the three of them were just looking at each other as if they were embarrassed.

In many ways, they were three people who were still playing in the hands of Middle Earth.

“Now, let’s read them one by one. Of course, this starts with this, right?”

After removing the unreadable materials, the remaining documents were sparse and looked like teeth were missing. Meanwhile, there was a point where several dogs were gathered together.

The following moved there. Kid and Luger also nodded.

“That’s right. “Nothing is easier to understand about a person than his diary.”

“Then this must be the first.”

Data recorded by date. Ruger picked up the earliest one.
