Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

Ch 77

“Rapid-fire Browless.”

“Yes?”

Browless did not answer Leeha’s question and continued speaking slowly with his eyes closed.

“Piercing Brown.”

Rapid-fire Browless, Piercing Brown? Considering that Browless spoke his name first… Was it also a name?

Leeha could confirm it by listening to Browless’s next word.

“Bullseye Elizabeth…  No, I should say, Mrs. Brown.”

Browless, Brown, and Elizabeth.

“Brown Bess. Brown Bess. Brown Bess Musket Academy?”

“Right, with how smart you are, you should be aware of it.”

Browless opened his eyes again. Leeha always wondered if this training center was named after a person.

‘Rapid fire Browless, Piercing Brown, and Bullseye Elizabeth. Hang on, he didn’t have his name on the academy even though he was the director?’

Besides, when he said Elizabeth and changed it to Mrs. Brown, it would mean that Brown and Elizabeth got married…

“The Three Musketeers of Fibiel Kingdom, those were fun times.”

Browless’s eyes were getting wet.

He was reminiscing. Leeha waited for the middle-aged director to talk.

“The academy was also lively. There were a lot of trainees, and whenever the stories of the Three Musketeers active on the battlefield spread, people came holding muskets. Can you imagine people lining up in a shiny building, in a hallway, and on the training grounds with no space to walk in?”

Leeha nodded.

Browless was a little furious.

In fact, it was a picture that was difficult to imagine in its current shabby appearance.

“They were different from me. Treating people kindly and running the academy… It was different for me. Can’t you tell just by looking at the name of the academy?”

“I understand that the academy was named after them. But the director’s name is-”

“My name is not important. I am a sniper. There was no need to reveal my name.”

By listening to Browless’s explanation, Leeha was able to understand the tendencies of the three people.

Their ability to handle muskets may have been inconsistent, but their personalities would have made a big difference.

You can tell just by looking at Browless appearance that he was wary as soon as he saw Leeha.

From what he had said, Mr. Brown and Ms. Elizabeth must have had a friendly attitude and were friendly towards people.

“They…, where are the two now……?”

“They’re gone.”

“Yes?”

“Those two disappeared from the battlefield and it was all over… “

Shwaak–  As Browless finished speaking, a notification window appeared in front of Leeha.

[Disappeared Legends]

Description: At the time of the Second Human-Demon War nearing its end, at the Battle of Marching Plains the Three Musketeers of the Fibiel Kingdom were dispatched, but only Browless returned.

Find the location of his missing colleagues. No, Browless wants to know at the very least whether they are dead or alive. Accurate information, not rumors.

Content: Within 20 days, track Mr. Brown and Miss Elizabeth (Mrs. Brown)

Reward: ??

Failure condition: When the deadline is exceeded,

when incorrect information is provided (limited to 1 chance)

Penalty for failure:

[Disappeared Legends] will disappear,

[Browless’s  Expectations] will be canceled,

Quest route will reset.

– Do you want to accept?

‘Hmm? What?’

What is this?

Leeha’s eyes were rolling in a frenzy.

‘First of all, their location is not clear, what is life or death?’

Dead or alive? He said they were missing!

Disappeared in battle, in the modern military, MIA (Missing In Action) are stamped and treated as a soldier…

‘It can’t be. Even if they died, there was something certain.’

Since the quest window appeared, there was not much time.

No, at this point, wouldn’t refusing itself give up a huge privilege?

‘Giving up is failure anyway!’

Above all, Browless expectations are at stake. Didn’t he say that too? It was a waste of time to collect bears gallbladders.

What if I give up?

‘I’ll have to do a quest to catch monsters again. Just like ordinary users.’

Similar to the ‘Quest route reset’.

He couldn’t do that. If Leeha wanted to grow faster than others, grow stronger, and catch up with the rankers, he can’t go the normal path.

Even if he tried and failed, it was better than giving up on the challenge itself. ‘Can I try to figure out what happened to the two?’

Leeha pressed the accept button.

“You? Can you do it?”

“I can’t give up without even trying.”

“Heh, yes. Miss Elizabeth would have liked you if she had seen you. But, it won’t be easy.”

“I know.”

The investigation period was only 20 days. 20 days in Middle Earth is 4 days in reality.

‘That’s it, I should be able to find them by reducing my time to sleep. First, I need to get some information here.’

In any case, wouldn’t Browless know the most?

“Do you remember what happened?”

The Battle of Marching Plains. If the place had a name, it would most likely be on the map.

All Leeha had to do was dig up information and go search for it himself.

Browless nodded.

“The Battle of Marching Plains. It was the final battle(會 戰) that even a part of the Demon King appeared… we couldn’t even afford to look out for each other.

‘A piece of the Demon King? No, now is not the time to worry about those words.’

“Mr. Brown and Ms. Elizabeth went to search for a sniping position, and I moved with a separate unit of the Fibiel-Minis National Alliance. It was because I had no choice but to step forward to prevent their movements from getting detected by the Demon King’s army.”

“I see.”

Leeha pictured the last battle of the Second Human-Demon War in his head.

A separate unit on the human side that bypassed the Marching Plain.

Of course, they must have been famous soldiers, and they must have moved secretly as they were a separate unit.

‘Of course, If it was a large-scale war, there would have been an enormous number of troops. If they found a watchtower and shot every enemy they saw …

Browless’s nickname is Rapid fire.

Not at a normal rate of fire. As it was a large-scale war, the reconnaissance team of the monsters would not have been few.

To process all those monsters!

‘I know from experience that monsters move faster than humans, so if you miss even once, the secret would be exposed.’

“That’s it.”

“Yes?”

“After the operation was over, I returned and waited for them… “

‘They didn’t come back? No, that was too short. It was no different from the one that was written from the quest description, right?’

“Didn’t the two of them say anything? They went to find a sniping point, but didn’t they have a way to get in touch with the headquarters in some way?”

“Shouldn’t I know that much?”

Browless’s voice was low.

“Rumors of them living and dying, there were a lot of them. There were even rumors of betrayal. It even said that if those two, a married couple were alive, why wouldn’t they show up? There was even a rumor that they ran away somewhere. Of course, I beat the ones who spread the rumor to death.”

Browless seemed trembling slightly.

‘It was rumored that they escaped for love. Of course, that was not what Browless believes.’

Leeha took a deep breath and moved to his second question.

He had a slightly ominous feeling.

“Then, what level of information do I need to provide?”

“It should be accurate. At least there must be some clue or evidence. So that I could understand. Are you going to bring up some silly rumors?”

“Of course not. I will try to find reliable and accurate information.”

Does that mean gathering information from the pubs and citizens was not enough?

‘Then even if I collect information on my own…  would that be a failure if Browless is not satisfied with the information?’

Then time really is life.

Somehow, Leeha had to gather as much information as possible and discern some clues from it.

‘Didn’t it say that there is only a one-time limit for clearing? It means that once I say a word, there will be no next time.’

Accurate and definite information.

Leeha seemed to burst out into laughter. Isn’t this sniping as well? Sniping information, a sniping opportunity.

‘And me… ?’

He was a sniper. He was a musketeer. One step at a time. He also had the resolve. Leeha stood up.

“I will go.”

“I believe in you.”

Browless nodded his head.

‘20 days, I don’t have time to waste.’

Since he cleared the Promising Seedling-1, Leeha thought Browless would give the Promising Seedling-2 quest. It suddenly became like this.

‘As the hidden quest was cleared, the path changed. Did someone else take this path as well?’

No, he thought so… There surely would be someone else who managed to do so.

‘At least two.’

Browless tested him when he first came to the academy. Obviously, two other people passed the ridiculous test.

The two who passed the quest first. Leeha thought that they should have already taken this path.

‘I don’t know who they are…  I am sure they did something similar as well. I’ll chase after them.’

Leeha opened his map.

‘Now, what should I do first?’ The first thing he searched was ‘The Marching Plains’. However, no such name appeared on the map.

‘It isn’t inside the Fibiel Kingdom?’

It meant that it was outside the kingdom’s territory.

In other words, it could be seen that time was tight even for checking.

‘A very great quest. Okay, I get it. For now, I need to deal with the sundries. Let’s find the location of the plains while dealing with the sundries.’

Leeha headed to the marketplace of Aelstock, the capital of Fibiel Kingdom, all while thinking of gathering information about the Three Musketeers…
