Chapter 468
The large space was filled with play equipment that looked like a jungle gym. Of course, the difference was that it was much larger than the human-operated rides.
Shwaaagh!
From a corner of that space, something came running at incredible speed.
“Ukyaaaaaaa! Are these guys? huh?”
Although it was more than three times the size of the gorillas, the overwhelmingly ugly monkey stuck its face in front of the three musketeers.
The ibex had a strange appearance, and the Hooded had a strange body, but this guardian deity was different.
Eyes for eyes, nose for nose, mouth for mouth….
It was so disharmonious that there was no other way to express it other than ‘ugly.’
Luger frowned blatantly and even Kid covered his gaze with his hat, but it was different.
“nice to see you. “My name is Leeha, Kaztor’s friend.”
If I could get information about Kaztor, I could at least kiss his ugly face.
Kid and Luger Oops! I looked at Leeha with a curious expression.
* * *
A sure win!
How will you react?! Is the ‘friend’ they are talking about really Kaztor?
“Ukikikit! I’m Harhei! Harhei is in charge of the labor force! “Yes, yes, from across the sea?”
The monkey-shaped spirit creature that introduced itself as Harhei jumped in place as if excited.
Are you happy with the expression “Kaztor’s friend”?
It’s still difficult to judge.
‘Besides, what does it mean to be in charge of labor? Ibex’s ability to prevent fires and Hooded’s ability to start fires were some special skills… Labor? ‘Is there a special skill for heavy labor?’
A flirtatious attitude, a frivolous tone of voice, and even special abilities!
It certainly seemed to be somewhat inferior to Ibex or Hooded, but it did not seem particularly nervous or surprised upon hearing the following.
“That’s right. Like Kaztor, we too have crossed the sea.”
Second mention.
Harhei jumped even more.
It was at that time that he made a sudden movement, randomly grabbing a large jungle gym installed to suit his size.
Whoops, whoops!
Harhei let out a loud cry and started moving wildly, while Paleo’s ‘big brother’ the gorilla watched in silence.
-How does it look? Does he just look like a crazy monkey? Should I shoot him?
―Relax your arms before you blow off your fingers, Luger.
Not only Lee Ha, but Luger and Kid also had no idea.
Is the person from 20 years ago Kaztor or not?
In Middle Earth, even if there is no answer, you can get hints just by changing the other person’s body language, tone of voice, or facial expression.
Although this is true for non-human races, the spirit creatures of the New World of Erica were definitely different in some ways.
“Whoa, whoo, yes. Is this it? Is this it?”
Harhei, who had been moving for a while and expending energy, stood in front of the three musketeers. Then he approached Leeha, who was in a ‘gun on his shoulder’ state, and pointed at Black Beth.
“Yes, guardian spirit. This is what we use. “It looks a lot like this weapon.”
“Hmm, it looks like something completely different.”
“It looks a little different… but instead of attacking with the power of words like the guardian spirit, it fired something. “That’s the same thing.”
“Well, well! “If he’s smart, he could have developed a weapon.”
“That’s right.”
The older gorilla Paleo nodded and agreed with Harhei’s words. The three musketeers finally understood what it meant to say that the weapons were similar.
―You are saying that our guns are similar to centipedes’ bows, right?
-Are these stupid? Didn’t the red goats also throw things like spears?
– Ugh… Simply throwing something and using the elastic properties of an object are definitely different principles… But
even Kid groaned, Paleo was no different from a completely primitive society itself.
‘Now we’ve built a city like this and even built a waterway, but not so long ago, we lived without even a bow?’
Was this a community that believed in nothing but the body, to the point where it would be embarrassing to even consider it a primitive society? The following somehow seemed to understand the feelings they had towards the NPC they called ‘friends’.
If you helped them develop this much, they would naturally be overflowing with gratitude.
“But even if you use a weapon like this, we can’t tell if you’re our friend or not, Ukit!”
“That’s right.”
“It could be a lie that I came across the sea!”
“That’s right.”
“So kill them all.”
In the quick exchange of conversation, the three musketeers were momentarily unable to understand Harhei’s last words.
whatever?
“Is it really on the devil’s side? I knew it would be like this, you dog—”
“Now, wait! for a moment! It’s so salty! “Our friend told us to show you this weapon!”
After hitting the cobalt blue python raised by Luger with the beak of Black Bess’s gun, Leeha quickly aimed at a part of the jungle gym and fired.
Gunshots began to echo like thunder in the round dome-shaped room.
Tuquaaaaaa…!
“Wow! Ukyaaaaa!”
“How dare you face the guardian spirit-”
“〈Summon: Partner〉.”
Shuwaaaaaaaaaa no
As if that wasn’t enough, Lee Ha immediately summoned his partner. The effect appeared immediately in places where there were no space locks or anything like that.
Blaugrun, who had been sent back to the ship for a while for safety, pops up on Leeha’s head! appear.
[What?! Kkyukkyun!]
Flapping, fluttering, fluttering…!
The eyes of the gorilla Paleo, who was about to attack Leeha, widened. The same was true for the ugly Harhei, who was running wild while covering his ears.
In a way, it was a gamble.
Since Ibex also recognized the dragon and acknowledged ‘crossing the sea’, this action stemmed from the belief that they would also remember the Platinum Dragon.
However, the following actions evoked a slightly different reaction from them.
“Woo, guardian spirit. This is-”
“Dragon… Is it a dragon? Yes, it looks exactly like the creature that my friend showed me with mana that only exists across the sea.”
The eyes of the older gorillas, Paleo and Harhei, changed as they looked at Leeha. Even Luger and Kid could tell that the intimacy had increased.
‘You created a dragon with mana?’
Have you ever seen a Platinum Dragon, and what kind of ‘explanation’ did the NPC in question give them? Let’s think about it later – Lee Ha quickly opened his mouth.
“That’s right. We really come from across the ocean. Uh, uh- he said he left something in the same place he used when he was here, and he asked us to go and report it to him instead.”
This was a shameless lie that made no sense.
No matter what reason you give for something like that? Luger made an absurd expression, but Lee Ha was confident.
“Ukit! Even if that friend’s friend is right, that’s not possible. “No one has come near that place since they brought us here 50 years ago!”
Because these people are idiots.
’50 years ago? ‘You said it was 20 years ago?’
Did you go twice? Or are you mistaken about the year? Considering that there is no calendar in sight, it is impossible to even know how the concept of date is perceived by these people!
When Lee Ha was confused for a moment, Kid took the lead this time.
His hand hissed for a second. I thought he was moving, but before I knew it, Kid was holding a small piece of gold in his hand.
“It is the greatest treasure across the sea. “If I become your friend, Harhei, will you believe what my friend says?”
“Ukit?! Something shiny! treasure!”
Harhei jumped up and down.
Luger suddenly straightened his shoulders and looked at his older brother, Gorilla Paleo.
“The rhinodilos you mentioned earlier seem to be moving underground. Isn’t that disturbing them?”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“I’ll take care of them. “Within today, at least 30 or more.”
“…Can you really do that?”
“With your help, we can have 100. “It will be done much more safely, quickly, and reliably.”
Luger hits his chest, bang! Gardenia’s older brother, gorilla Paleo’s eyes changed. And after a while, Luger looked into space with blank eyes.
It was only then that I realized what these friends(?) were doing.
―I was the one who even revealed the dragon and calmed it down! I’m the one who got the hint! Are you the only one raising intimacy?!
Intimacy work!
While Lee Ha was worrying about the year and such, Luger and Kidd had already noticed.
-The location has arrived. Don’t you still know that NPCs don’t recognize the fixedness of a place unless they live there?
-It’s natural for a fool to act like a fool, Leeha! I will open Kaztor’s laboratory number 7 first!
-Then would you like to bet? The first person to reach 100% intimacy will be the first to enter the lab?
-I’m good! Leeha, I’ll be wandering outside forever, Leeha!
The speculation is that Kaztor’s new laboratory is the place that no one has been accessing for 50 years.
“Guardian God, I will come with you to clean up the nearby Rhinodillo.”
“Ukit! Ukit! Yes, yes! you? “What other treasures are there?”
“There is plenty of treasure. “I have a lot of time and a lot of stories to tell.”
“good! Good good! Ukit! Ukikit!”
The older gorilla Paleo took Luger out, and Harhei grabbed Kid in one hand and climbed onto the jungle gym.
Suddenly, I was left alone in the spacious residence of the guardian deity.
“Hey…what is this?! And who wants to bet—bad guys!”
Luger accepted the quest and went out.
You don’t know how to properly increase intimacy?
Certainly, intimacy may increase slowly through ‘interaction’, but if given in the form of a ‘quest’ like this, Luger is also one of the people who can increase intimacy faster than anyone else!
‘10% for one clear? Let’s say it increases by 15% – even if there are a lot of Rhinodilos, it will repeat, right? You might actually achieve 100% in less than a day!’
What about Kid?
Gorillas are giving gifts to Harhei, the guardian deity and spiritual creature of Paleo.
The increase in intimacy may be lower than that of a quest, but if you speak well, you can create a goodwill situation several times and build it up in an instant.
So what about below?
“Mr. Lee, we’ll see! Mr. Blaugrun! song!”
[Kkyun! Kyaakkya!]
He spoke like a villain (?) and left the guardian deity’s residence.
