I Fell into the Game with Instant Kill

Chapter 20.1: Floating Veil (1)

It had been a week since I arrived here in my territory.

I couldn’t just stay here forever, so I finished all the planning I needed and prepared to leave.

“I’ll probably not return until the next Lords’ meeting.”

Even without me, this territory would still function, so there was nothing to worry about.

Among the Lords, there were also some who left their territory and wandered outside. Like the Mad King, for example.

Floto bowed his head with the same expression as always.

“I’ll prepare it right away, as you have instructed.”

Except for Asher, I went with only one attendant.

It was because there had to be someone who was familiar with the geography of Calderic and could do miscellaneous tasks.

I had to go around other Lord’s territories, so I thought one person was enough. I just couldn’t drag a bunch of people around, and it made little sense to attach a few more people cumbersomely.

[Lv. 46]

“My name is Baros, a first-grade butler.”

A cold-looking male elf wearing glasses greeted us politely.

Floto brought him under my command to find a suitable person to become my attendant regardless of age and gender.

The level was also quite high, well over 40.

“I’m going to wander all over Calderic. Can you guide me without us getting lost in the process?”

“Yes, Lord.”

“Then get ready to leave immediately.”

The composition of the crew was over, and Floto took care of the packing.

“Prepare a plain and inconspicuous wagon.”

It didn’t seem like a good idea to ride around in a huge, patterned, ornate carriage like the one I rode here from the Overlord’s castle.

Because it could have exposed my location and route to the other Lords.

Since I was planning to go to the other Lords’ territories without revealing my identity as much as possible.

Although there’s a rule that Lords couldn’t hurt each other, there was always an ‘if’. There’s nothing wrong with being careful.

After finishing all the preparations, Asher and I got on the wagon at the entrance of the castle and Floto saw us off.

“Safe travels, my lord.”

Passing by the knights who were saluting at the castle gate, the carriage briskly pulled out of the main gate.

The next mystery to be targeted was the ‘floating veil’, a defense-type mystery.

This mystery with a somewhat unusual name was an excellent mystery that could be said to be absolute, at least in terms of defensive ability.

Its level in the game was 9 stars, the same as the [Soul of the King].

Of course, there was one fatal penalty as well.

However, for me now, it was more important than anything else to get excellent defense, so the penalty wasn’t that important.

[Instant Kill] was the best offensive ability, but it had no defensive ability at all because it only activated once I was in direct contact with the target.

I was in a precarious situation in which, even if a level 20 hit me with a punch, my head would explode as it was. It was definitely necessary to improve somehow.

Tyrell Mountains.

The hidden location of the [Floating Veil] was somewhere in the Tyrell Mountains on the northern border of Sarogal, the 5th Lord’s territory.

I didn’t remember the exact location like the super-regeneration, because it was not a mystery that I found myself.

There was a video of another player who recorded getting the floating veil and it became a hot topic, so I kind of remember it.

It’s in a place like a ruined dungeon.

It wouldn’t be easy to find, but I was going to find it and get it somehow.

There might be a way to mobilize a good deal of manpower by seeking help from the Mad King, but it was a method I was reluctant to use.

It was because the Mad King herself was not a person who could communicate with others well. And if I was asked to explain the reason, I could not.

It’s not a good idea to borrow someone else’s power to get the mystery.

Because once someone touched the mystery pattern, that person would absorb the mystery.

If someone discovered the mystery first and they gobbled it up, there was no way I could make them spit it out.

It would be best to only hire a guide, as with super-regeneration.

Currently, the wagon was passing through the woods.

Calderic was a land formed with the Overlord’s territory as the center and the lands of the nine lords surrounding it.

The road I chose to the 5th Lord’s territory was to go obliquely past the outskirts of the 6th Lord’s. It was the fastest straight route.

Baros, who’s driving right now, would take care of it.
