Chapter 484
Leeha nodded, thinking of Harhei and Gorilla Paleo. Because even spiritual creatures have levels.
For a low-level spirit creature and his paleos, it would have been enough for Baylippus and Alexander Fair to cook.
‘Bailiphus seemed somewhat excited while talking to Ibex. Um, um. It might be real.’
With the promise that I will at least take a peek when I meet him later, I have roughly summarized the information on the community below.
“The lumber hoarders are absolutely devastated. At one time, a 10m ‘perfectly dried oak tree’ was worth up to 20 gold, but now it is said to be worth silver, let alone gold…”
If 20 gold, how much is it in cash?
Excluding a few big users who hoarded money in the beginning, regular users who jumped in late would be shedding tears of blood and making stop losses.
“I can only hope that I recover again someday. Now, let’s do our job properly first!”
Leeha accessed Middle Earth by pushing a wheelchair.
The first to welcome him were the Paleo dogs.
After overlapping a location on the crystal sphere, Leeha turned to the area where paleo wild boars live.
“Wabong—ah—!? what?”
“What was Puols and Wabon together with?”
Two paleo people with unbalanced muscles appeared with their noses up and down.
The abnormal development of the thigh and back muscles was almost disgusting, but Leeha barely managed to control herself from being embarrassed for a moment.
“now. Before the attack! Let’s eat this first and then talk, shall we? “It’s rabbit meat with sweet potato mousse.”
As soon as Lee Ha saw them, he quickly took out food from his bag. I didn’t forget to research the eating habits of wild boars right before logging in.
“Wow, come see….”
“Wabong, wabong.”
Lee Ha grinned as he watched the nostrils of the wild boars flaring. The time needed to achieve 100% intimacy with the wild boar Paleos was only 10 hours.
As expected, your cooking skills were great!
Suddenly, I thought that if I had just started cooking instead of making fun of myself like a musketeer, I might have already saved up all the money.

“There is such a place?!”
“That’s right! There is water much, much, much wider than this lake right now. “It’s a place where a lot of salt is dissolved, so it tastes salty.”
“Muhongmuhong! Nonsense! No way!”
“Can’t you tell by looking at me? Look, it’s a gift I got from meeting them!”
Shuwaah Ah ───!
The following swam quickly.
Just a few movements of Leeha’s tuna-like lower body was enough to gain speed.
The golden carp, seeing this, was happy, clapping its long whiskers on both sides.
‘Gelapon, now!’
[Whispering….]
Steady, slurp!
Following Leeha’s instructions, Gelapong, which had been transformed into a vest, climbed onto Leeha’s back and changed into the shape of a huge fin. It looks like it can eliminate even more resistance when swimming through the current!
Over the vast lake! Lee Ha’s movement of jumping up like a dolphin and then coming back into the water was truly the perfect mermaid.
“Muhongmuhong! “There is such a creature, a race called mermaids, different from us!”
“that’s right. “It’s definitely different from Shore, but I definitely think the two races can get along well.”
“Will they accept our babies?”
“Well, maybe? “I’m sure it will be okay since we are a high-ranking race that wants peace.”
“Muhongmuhong!”
Gold Carp Paleo’s tribal guardian, Shore, gaped.
A huge bubble was rising to the surface of the lake. When I saw their transformation for the first time, I thought they were definitely fish-men. It was clearly similar to a fish, but it had arms and legs.
‘If I had treated him like a fishman and shot him, it would have been a really big problem. ‘I survived thanks to Jelapong.’
It was Jelapong who blocked Leeha’s arm from pulling the trigger.
Somehow, the street managed to listen to that voice and interpret it as, ‘They are different from fish-men.’
Only after that did Leeha realize that there were spirits in the water as well.
Whooper Cranes Paleo can also be in the air. It wasn’t unusual for Paleos to be in the water.
“Be sure to introduce me next time, Leeha.”
“of course. Since I am very familiar with mermaids, I will tell you well. While you’re at it, try some refreshing seawater!”
“Muhonghong, muhong!”
I’m not sure if it’s ok for freshwater fish, but in any case, it’s a spirit fish, so it won’t die, Lee Ha said loudly.
Anyway, the only thing that mattered now was to match the mood of ‘Shore’, the spirit that leads the gold carp paleo group.
Just like right now, all you have to do is make a fanfare sound in Lee Ha’s head.
Achieved 100% intimacy with Youngmul Shore.
Achieved 100% intimacy with Paleo – Golden Carp – of the Youngmul Shore.
〈Achievement: Golden Carp of the Light-Devouring Lake (A+)〉
Congratulations!
You have succeeded in gaining complete intimacy with the spirit creatures of the continent of Erica, Shor and his Paleos. Even on the continent of Erica, where there is little exchange between Paleo and Paleo, your great achievements and name in bringing about faith in spirits will be known.
Rewards: Strength +5, Dexterity +10, Intelligence +3, Erica Continent Common Fame +25. This
is the first registrant of the 〈Golden Carp of the Lake that Swallows Light〉 achievement.
Up to the third person to register the achievement will be recorded in the Hall of Fame, and an additional 200% of the existing effect will be applied.
Effect: Strength +10, Agility +20, Intelligence +6, Erica Continent Common Fame +50
‘A+ class, it’s awesome, right?!’
Even if you don’t have to enter the lake and attack the shore directly, there is a way to increase intimacy by targeting Paleos at the lakeside.
This means that you can obtain the achievement even without the Mermaidization skill!
Therefore, I expected it to be level A at best, but it actually meant that it was a little more difficult. Of course, I didn’t feel the difficulty, but the ‘Erica Continent’s common reputation’ played a big role.
‘And now the reputation, let’s see… 405? Has it already exceeded 400?’
Even among members of the same New Continent expedition, more than half of the users did not exceed 100 in common reputation for the continent of Erica.
Since he was gaining fame so quickly, other Paleos and spirits were bound to react relatively favorably to Leeha.
“Then let’s go, Mr. Shore.”
“Muhong, Muhong, come play again next time!”
“yes! “I’ll make something delicious on that continent and come back again!”
Lee Ha smiled happily as he looked at the carp with its beautiful beard. Since the whiskers were about as thick as the waist, it would be quite unrealistic to describe the size of the carp ‘Shore’.
Leeha came to land, saved the location again, and activated the crystal ball.
The locations of the villages confirmed while riding the Puols were spread throughout the New Continent, so they will serve as the main base for researching that area.
It was the moment when one of the users who had secured the most areas among the New World expedition members finally returned to the Old World.
Shuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…!
The instantaneous movement through the mana relay tower was accompanied by a feeling of dizziness that lasted a little longer than usual.
Even the feeling of falling the moment the background changes.
“Wow, no, it’s not… Oh, I’m surprised. “When you go to the Old Continent, you have to let them know in advance that it feels different. Anyway, Middle Earth.”
Lee Ha, who was fluttering his arms as if he was falling even though he was standing on the ground, was once again embarrassed and pouted.
The place where the following appeared was the office of the castle lord of City Gaza.
When Lee Ha was smiling happily as she looked at Seongju’s table for the first time in a long time, the NPC standing behind her also had a similar expression.
“Lord Seong. It has been a while since we last met.”
“Oh, it’s been a while, Mr. Peytor! “Have you been well?”
Feitor, a butler-like NPC, greeted Leeha politely.
[Dignity], a permanent buff applied not only to the title of castle lord but also to ‘human NPCs’ I had not met in a long time, was showing its true value for the first time in a long time.
‘Now that I think about it, it’s the first oil field to acquire a castle under a personal name, and it seems like you really went through a lot of trouble in the New World. Still, I am a person who is treated well here!’
Lee Ha, who had finally arrived from a world of endless adventure to a continent where order had been established, somehow felt as if he had come home.
“of course. “More than anything, I’m glad that Lord Seong looks healthy.”
“Hehe, thank you. I’m glad that Mr. Feitor looks healthy too-”
“The payment documents that were processed by the Lord of Seong’s delegation so far are here, so you can check them-”
Tup! Tup! Tup! Tup!
But the joy ended there.
As soon as he finished saying hello, Peytor started stacking piles of documents on the table of Seongju.
There were as many as four enormous bundles of documents piled from chest to waist height. But besides that, there was something else that Peytor was still holding.
“-This is a collection of residents’ requests that have been submitted until today and those approved today. “You just need to process it within 4 hours.”
“Oh, as soon as I got here again…?! Besides, you have to do this all in 4 hours…”
“Congratulations on your safe return, Lord Seong. Then, please continue to treat us well.”
Leeha tried to cry, but Peytor simply smiled, bent his waist to 90 degrees, and quietly walked out of the Seongju’s office.
“Nonsense! As soon as you finish using your body, you start using your head! Rest?!”
Was Feitor’s only joy in having someone to take care of things?!
Of course, the NPC couldn’t have done that, but seeing Peytor’s attitude was somehow different from when he started, Leeha wanted to think that way, which was Leeha’s honest feeling.
As the sun set on Middle Earth, the city lord’s office was brightly lit.
* * *
Suddenly, there was a light knock on the office door.
However, I, who was in the office, could not answer. Because I couldn’t even hear it in the first place.
Kongkong.
– Lord of the castle, this is Feitor.
“…This is last week’s revenue and expenditure… The bottleneck guy spent a lot of money. Tsk, I promised, but what else was I supposed to make with this? Still, the income is as great as the resource consumption, right? Was it possible for Mr. Bottleneck’s blacksmith shop to generate this much income? Joint development and sale of water-based weapons, because someone applied for the purchase—”
― Lord of the castle, this is Feitor. A guest has arrived.
“―Well, we’ll have to check this slowly. There is also a problem with the scope… First of all, I think it is fortunate that income and expenditure are well balanced overall. Mr. Peytor tends to do things neatly—”
Hehehe…
He was muttering and flipping through documents, but when he didn’t hear a reply, Fator opened the door first.
“Let’s go in.”
“thank you.”
The voice that answered Peytor, a high-pitched, slightly sharp voice, finally brought Leeha to his senses.
The main character of the footsteps that lead to the sound, again and again.
Red hair caught the eye of Lee Ha, who looked up from the pile of documents.
“Ram Hwayeon?!”
“how is it? Seongju’s work is not easy, is it?”
“Well, what do you think here-”
“Oh, please just have cool cold water for your drink.”
“Yes, Ram Hwayeon.”
Ram Hwayeon entered the office with familiar steps and sat down across from Lee Ha.
The way she sat across the table and crossed her legs made it feel like Castle Dale, not City Gaza.
Even Peytor, who acts like her butler. Lee Ha seemed to vaguely know what was going on.
