“Ha Leeha-nim, is everything okay?!”
“Yes! Nothing beyond the mast!”
Aside from the raid on the first day, the voyage was very smooth.
Since the food ingredients were packed for 100 days, which was much longer than Fernand’s expected voyage period of 60 days, there would be no shortage of food or other items.
‘Most of the items were for NPCs anyway, and the users just need to keep their stamina from falling.’
Now the sun was shining on the sixth day of sailing, and at the same time, users who had logged out began to return.
“Group 2 is back! Everyone from group three, go to bed~!”
10 people each, with approximately 10 hours in reality. In other words, their time to restore their physical strength in reality was equivalent to 2 days in Middle Earth, similar to the rotation that Leeha devised to protect the king with Shin Nara before.
On the first day, everyone was together to get used to sailing, and from the second day onwards, the log-out rotation started right away.
Leeha had been placed in the 4th group which was the last group. The 4th group had the greatest physical burden because they had to rest last in the first rotation, but this was because Leeha wanted to do so.
Of course, the reason was simple.
The closer the ship got to the new continent, the stronger the sea monsters would become.
Before that, Leeha wanted to clear one more quest.
[Kyu!]
“Ah〜? Blaugrun-ssi? Now you’re almost as alert as me?”
[Kyuuu!]
Leeha laughed as he watched the bronze dragon snort with an expression of natural wonder.
The reason why he wanted to be in group 4 and was always on the main mast.
“About two nautical miles ahead! A huge stain is found under the sea! I think I saw it a few days ago. It’s a long one.”
“What? Long?”
“Yes. Maybe.”
Fernand tilted his head in surprise, but Leeha didn’t even look at him.
He placed the Black Bass on the ledge of the crow’s nest and began adjusting the clicks quickly.
“Are you talking about the giant moray eel you saw a few days ago? That-”
“Ah! Are you sure it is around level 250?”
Hoooo…….
Leeha asked a question to Fernand and took a deep breath.
‘Joint Fixation: Lower Body, Snipe, Calm Mind,’
Haaaa…….
“Why are you asking as if you are going to deal with it?! With its size, it will traverse two nautical miles in no time! I’ll get the people ready first-”
Baaaaang—-!
“Heup?!”
A small spray shot up on the surface of the sea about two nautical miles, 3.7 kilometers, from the mast of the New Serpent.
“Ha-Ha Leeha-nim?”
Shaaaaaa…….
At the same time, white light emanated from Leeha’s body.
“Ah, I guess that guy isn’t level 250. Tsk…. I have dealt with the giant stain!”
Leeha’s efforts to clear Black Bass’ quest did not stop.
This was also the reason why the voyage to the new continent went smoothly for 5 days.
‘It’s an opportunity made in heaven! Damn it.’
Even though his level went up, Leeha was extremely disappointed.
It was because completing the Black Bass’ fifth quest was more important than immediately raising one level.
However, although it was regrettable, there was no reason not to take the stat. Leeha opened his character window and sighed.

Leeha went all in on agility without even looking at it.
The ability to discover an enemy and hit the discovered enemy was also affected by the agility, so there was no need to consider anything else.
‘Shooting and hitting the target itself was due to my skill with the combat assistance system turned off……. There clearly was an additional correction based on stats. Even now, it’s about the size of a giant moray eel, so I guessed it right. If it was the size of a harpy, it wouldn’t have been a problem.’
Black Bass’ 5th quest was to shoot monsters that were level 250 or higher from 3.5km away!!
It was not an exaggeration to say that the level of difficulty was extreme.
Although it was not affected by the wind direction or speed, it was still difficult just aiming at the target.
Most importantly, the first challenge was to find a place that meets the conditions.
‘In that respect, the current voyage is just perfect. There is a mast to secure the view. There’s nothing to call ‘terrain’ curves around. Moreover, if I exclude the marine lizards, sea monsters are huge and their level is high!’
They were not just 10m, 15m in size.
The users were so surprised when they so the ‘giant moray eel’, the first sea monster they saw after the marine lizard.
Something suddenly came to Leeha’s mind.
“There are no more monsters? Ugh, my body is itching.”
Kijung waved the legendary sword given by Leeha into the air.
“You’re itching. Only Kijung-ssi. No one else. In my knowledge.”
“Kiskis, I heard that there was no one playing on the other ship. As expected of our guild master.”
“T-that- it’s not like I didn’t do it because they didn’t want to!”
As Bobae and Biyemi laughed and joked, Kijung was embarrassed.
On the day the marine lizard appeared, they were the ‘only’ ones who did not catch a single one from New Serpent and Blue Marlin.
Tank users didn’t even get the chance to tank, let alone attack, so it was only natural for them to become the butt of the joke.
“He really got picked on for no reason. Kijung should have been left behind.”
“Heu, don’t be like that to Master Kay. Since the tanker is in the center, Drake and the other NPCs can move around with peace of mind.”
“Eh?! It’s a shame that Jin Gonggong-ssi is so kind. Pretend you don’t know and make
fun of him. If you don’t make fun of him at times like this, he won’t be able to make fun of you.”
Leeha was about to come over and make fun of Kijung, but when the giant Jin Gonggong stopped him with a simple smile, and he lost his energy.
“Thank you, Jin Gonggong-ssi! Would you like to join our guild? As expected, the only person taking my side is Jin Gonggong-ssi. I don’t even know if Leeha-hyung is really my cousin or my enemy.”
Kijung hugged Jin Gonggong’s arm and clung to him.
Among human users, he was quite tall, but he was incomparable to the giant race.
Kijung, who was snuggled up next to Jin Gonggong, looked like a child.
He was over 180cm tall, and all the users around him burst into laughter at his ridiculous(?) appearance.
“Huhu, there’s definitely a good atmosphere around Ha Leeha-ssi.”
Other users approached them as they laughed.
Sage Hyein and a female user next to him wearing a cloth covering her eyes. Leeha recognized them right away.
“Ah, Hyein-ssi! And…… the oracle-”
“Doctor Doom!”
“The skill you used before was really great!”
“But your eyes- Are you able to see in front of you?”
Bobae and Kijung were amazed when they saw her, and the other users around them also murmured.
Amid all the commotion, Leeha was the only one who called her name correctly.
“-Rubini-nim, right? It’s my first time meeting you, but I couldn’t say hello properly. Nice to meet you.”
“Yes. It’s been a while since I last saw you, Ha Leeha-nim.” Leeha didn’t worry too much about how she looked ahead.
This was because she greeted him while looking directly in his direction, and he was more concerned about the other thing she said.
“Huh? It’s been a while? Have we met before?”
“Ha Leeha-ssi~? I will tell Nara.”
“No, w-wait- I don’t remember?!”
Rubini smiled when Leeha got flustered. Hyein laughed behind her.
“It must have been during the national war, right Rubini-nim?”
“That’s right, Hyein-nim. At that time, I detected a strange movement in the Marching Plains, and I investigated for several days. At that time, I saw Ha Leeha-nim in my ‘map’.”
Leeha noticed the nuance in her words.
‘Strange movement’, ‘investigate’.
If she was from Fibiel, she wouldn’t have bothered saying something like that.
“Oh- sorry. At that time I was in a hurry, so I apologize if I shot your head or caused you to die by shooting at a painful area-”
“Pft, no. It’s okay. Because I didn’t die. Until then, you were moving within my detection range. After seeing Ha Leeha-nim move, I thought Minis would lose, so I didn’t participate in the national war after that.”
Fortunately, Leeha did not need to worry (?) that he might have blown her head. But her remarks were quite amiss. To Leeha and everyone.
‘It was at least 800 meters of shooting on the plain of the march. There were several instances that the units were on km. But I was still in her detection range?’
This was a distance that could not be captured with a simple mana detection skill.
What made Leeha even more surprised was that she even predicted that Minis would be defeated based on that move alone.
‘Predicting’ the movement of monsters or NPCs was simple in Middle Earth’s system. It just read the data that had already been inputted.
However, predicting the win or loss of a complex national war was not something that could be done simply because one’s job was an oracle.
Her ability to think in big numbers would have made her an oracle, a second human-demon war hero’s descendant.
‘Speaking of the national war, shouldn’t I also apologize to Saint Raphaela? Ugh, after all, she died by my hands and now she’s in the same boat as me.’
Looking at the female healer chatting with other users on the other side of the ship, Leeha had mixed feelings.
Still, it was unavoidable to maintain smooth relations for the expedition to the new continent. Someday, he will have to approach her.
“Uh, then how can I help you……?”
“We don’t really need anything. Rubini said she wanted to meet the expedition members, so I came to introduce her to you.”
“Ah! Yes. They’re all good people. Rubini-nim, please have a cup of tea and talk.”
When Leeha gently offered his sit, Bobae’s eyes became sharp.
Muttering, ‘I should tell this to Shin Nara.’, made Leeha and Kijung uncomfortable, but everyone knew that Leeha did not have any selfish intentions.
“Ah, perhaps, does Rubini-nim know? There’s a user on that ship who plays a similar role to you, right? Do you know-”
Chwaaaaa! Kiiiiiit—!
“Oy, what a surprise!”
As Leeha was about to ask a question, an animal he had never seen before jumped between the new serpent and blue marlin and let out an ultrasonic sound-like wave.
“What is that? It’s not even a dolphin-”
“Kiskis, doesn’t it look like a summon from the summoner aboard blue marlin? They are supposed to be a hero’s descendant as well. They could summon from land, sea, and air-”
As Biyemi was about to answer Leeha’s question, Fernand, who had been examining the charts in the cabin, kicked down the door and jumped out.
“P-p-prepare for battle! Prepare for battle! A giant moray eel is currently approaching from the bottom of the sea! There are two of them!”
