“That's a relief. ”

The footsteps of LaQuiz, who was walking behind him, stopped. He takes a deep breath and wipes the sweat off his brow. I adjusted my mental strength to use as a deterrent, but I continued to use sniffing spontaneously, which resulted in a significant amount of mental energy consumption. LaQuiz raises his hand and points around.

“This broken cliff is a kind of neutral zone. There are no monster raids here. ”

As LaQuiz said, the cliffs surrounding the area have been cut off from here. Instead, another cliff is running a little ahead.

“If you enter that cliff over there, Griphon will appear, but not here. a neutral ground between the Harpy realm and the Griphon realm. ”

LaQuiz says so, and settles down. Indeed, the flying Harpies howled a few times after the cliff was severed and returned to the cave flapping their wings.

“... are we keeping each other out? ”

“Something like that. Grifon is stronger than Harpies, but there are so many Harpies. They'll probably glow over each other. So Griphon doesn't go to the cliffs of the Harpies, Harpies don't go to the cliffs of the Griphons. This isn't anyone's cliff. That doesn't mean the Harpies can't have it all and the Griphons can't have it all. ”

This is what Laquis saw while he was sitting on the cliff for two days. Cliffs of popularity are still being challenged by many players. They were mostly veterans who were accustomed to hunting on these cliffs, and players who penetrated Harpy territory would rest here.

“.. you know quite well. ”

Azin mutters, shaking his head with a soft smile.

“It's not that great. ”

Laquis smiles and replies. He continued explaining, feeling relieved at Daisy and Lina's glances for no reason.

“You've never been to these cliffs before, have you? ”

“Oh, yes. ”

Daisy looks back at LaQuiz and replies angrily. Laquis smiles as if he knew it would be.

“The party was poorly organized to deal with monsters in these cliffs. No dealer could resist the air, so it must have been hard to deal with the Harpies. ”

“Well, I looked into the Harpies, but I didn't think it would be a problem. ”

“You fought well in that configuration, I'm sure. Especially you. ”

Laquis looks at Azin.

“Your body looks like a shaman to me. You fought well with the Harpies in the air. ”

“Thank you. ”

Azin looks down slightly and replies. After Ajin comes out politely, Laquis shakes his hand like he's embarrassed.

“No, well, it just is. Oh, and now it's late, so I don't see any other players, but there's quite a lot of them around noon. Monster attacks are more fierce at night than during the day, so few players challenge this area. ”

“Oh, really? ”

Lina opens her eyes and replies. Laquis nods in pride.

“Yes. There are also quite a lot of fixedly hunting parties at these cliffs. They build and hunt in neutral places like this. As you can see, once you enter your realm, the Harpies don't have to come this way to do it on their own... It's possible to grow faster if you deal with them well. ”

Of course, there is such a risk. The Harpies never stop attacking. Escape is almost impossible once the battle begins.

“Some of these parties will be wiped out and some players will be left alone. Recruiting such people... would be more organized than it is now. ”

‘What an idiot. ’

After taking a few words from this side, I can explain myself because I am excited by myself to tell you stories like this. As an azin, I could not understand such a LaQuiz, and it was ridiculous. You look pretty good, but you don't seem that smart. Or something simple.

“Why don't you join us at our party? ”

The second conclusion is whether it is stupid or simple, and it is undeniable that Laquis is a skill he does not want to miss. The ability to drive flying Harpies to the ground, even with a clear distance control, will be a salvation if you run away. Daisy glares at you and suggests, but she pauses and scratches her cheeks, making an embarrassing face.

“Well, that shouldn't be too bad.”

LaQuiz has lived most of his life as a solo player. Teleports for reliable ceramics and sniffing for quick attacks were a good combination for solo play. Thanks to this, LaQuiz was able to grow quickly early and rank second.

But that doesn't mean he didn't go party hunting. If necessary, I did. I'm not particularly reluctant to be with others. I just didn't feel the need.

Tell me you're willing to go through with this. ’

After all, I don't want to do anything boring. Whatever it takes to level up a skill, it's best to fight monsters. Allows you to level up and adapt skills as you level up. Why sit on your ass all day long and stare at the cliff across from you, leaving you in such a good way?

“Let's do it together, okay? I thought you said LaQuiz was alone. ”

Daisy continues to pull without hesitation. The ongoing solicitation forced LaQuiz to conflict.

“Well, it's hard to answer right now. Why don't you get some rest? ”

LaQuiz stepped back and said, I want to act freely because I feel like it, but I'm afraid that Hassen will scold me if I do. Damn old man, what's wrong with a fist that has nothing but bones? Laquis looks down at the cliff where Hassen is.

“It's been a while, hasn't it? ”

Hasen relaxes behind his back and looks at the black snow scent staring at him. The black snow scent that was staring at Sachsen with a lot of strength in its eyes was spit out in a low voice.

“It's been quite 20 years. ”

“Because they're the same, and they don't want to see each other. ”

Hasen said with a dry smile. Those elected as Hidden Pieces are all in the same place. Twenty years ago, they were defeated by the sudden arrival of Gladiolus, and they were dragged off the island.

Gladiolus has spoken. He has triumphed, and you have lost, so you must listen to me. Starting with that, Gladiolus gave the order. He explained who he was and what the world was like. He also explained the existence of the so-called player and the role of the Hidden Piece. The yo-yo was simple. Hidden Piece should be grown as a disciple by qualified players. That was all Gladiolus said.

Of course, not all hiddenpieces follow it. Most of them refused. All those chosen by Hiddenpiece had the power to call themselves the absolutes of the world. Their pride was high, and they were strong enough to choose death on their own rather than endure humiliation. But Gladiolus simply made a taboo on it. You can't die on your own. To be precise,

You can't die.

“It's a shitty, boring eternity. How good is it to be with each other? ”

Hasen kicks his tongue, pulling him towards the black snowy scent that does not conceal his enemies. With the gold Gladiolus has unleashed, they have the immortal. No matter how badly you hurt yourself. They don't die. Even if you cut your own throat, even if you cut out your own heart, you won't die of terrible pain.

It is a curse, not a blessing. And there's only one way out of it. Ending this game. Pulling Gladiolus from God's side, depriving him of the absolute power of Gladiolus. The only way to do that is to stay true to the role of Hiddenpiece. After all, only if someone wins can Hiddenpiece escape the curse of eternity.

“What good is it to see the old man's face so often? ”

Raw snow smells cold and spits out. That said, Hasen kicked his tongue again. I felt it the first time I saw her, but she is a filthy woman. Hasen recalled 20 years ago. When everyone felt hopeless, cursed by Gladiolus' gold and eternal damnation, when they lost the will to resist his overwhelming power. The Black Snow's scent reaches Gladiolus to the end. Screaming like crazy, he attacked Gladiolus, and eventually he was plucked out of his left eye as punishment for his resistance.

“Well, don't be so mean. Or is that it? It's a body that doesn't die, so you can open your mouth. ”

“That's what I have to say. If you hadn't been immortal, you would have died the moment you called her a maiden. ”

“Maiden? You still use that funny tone? ”

Hassen tugs and kicks his tongue.

“Call me 'or‘ Maiden 'or just one of the two. Don't talk nonsense because you want to look solemn. ”

The words made me blush with black snow. Hasen's words were true. Raw snow scents sometimes refer to themselves as "me," and sometimes as "Maiden," which was a habit created by the appearance of raw snow. She overcame aging by experiencing osteoclastosis at the age of 20. Thanks to this, I became a martyr with a strong mason, but the aroma of raw snow was a complex with my own appearance. So what you choose is the title of yourself. I started to stick to the name Bon Girls to show my solemnity, but even after a few decades, I was not used to it so I sometimes inadvertently twisted my words.

“Everyone, shut up! ”

With a red face, the scent of Raw Snow screams. If it wasn't for immortality...! The scent of Raw Snow grips his fist and stares at him as if to kill him. Immortality was an eternal curse, but it was also a chain that couldn't kill a son of a bitch.

Hasen is definitely strong. However, the Black Snow scent was confident that it could kill Hassen. Hasen may be an esper at the height of his superpowers, but his abilities are not as good as those of Raw Snow. The speed of the Black Snow that pierces the spirits is faster than the superpower of Hasen.

“Well, enough of this useless taunting. ”

Hasen glances at the scent of black snow breathing with a red face, then shifts his chin to point below the cliff.

“You sent a disciple. How long has it been?”

“.. in less than a week. ”

“Huh, really? Then you're the quickest student I've ever had. Well, he's pretty decent. You're moving well. ”

Hasen said frankly. He brought LaQuiz in as a disciple two days ago. Primrose, who came to the top, suggested that we take a look at him, and he accepted that Hazen should bring one of his disciples in anyway. In fact, I've been studying the players who hunt on these cliffs for disciples for a long time, but Hasen hasn't found the right talent. But LaQuiz was a desirable talent, even if he was attracted to Primrose.

‘You'll be stronger than LaQuiz now. ’

That was a cold judgment.He's familiar with the taste of raw snow. Reaching Hiddenpiece is certainly quicker than LaQuiz. He is not yet accustomed to his power. Although at these cliffs, Laquis may be better at dealing with Harpies.

If they want to kill each other, all LaQuiz can do is run to the teleport. Before LaQuiz can sniff or freshen up, he'll quickly put a few fists through him. The speed at which he attacked the Harpies in the air was not something LaQuiz could handle.

“You taught him well, didn't you? ”

Hasen smirks. The black snow scent gives you a suspicious look as you look up at Hassen. The game was meant to take off Hiddenpiece's immortality, to defeat Gladiolus and create a new winner - but there was also a clear intent in the details of the game to cause competition between Hiddenpiece. The absolute, world-rich people, who have never met each other, gather in one world and raise their disciples to fight. Pride is at stake and we have to compete.

There are a lot of misunderstood readers in 47, and Ajin is not weaker than LaQuiz. In fact, at this point, it's more painful than LaQuiz. Growing up as a solo player, Laquiz's sniffing level is 28, although not mentioned otherwise, Azin's energy drain level is 27 at this point. Ajin's level is eight times lower than LaQuiz, but the skill level is no different. While Hiddenpiece's growth is slow, it is still much higher than Laquis' Hiddenpiece skill refresher.

At this point in time, it is described as being more powerful than azine, because it is possible to be a long distance dealer and Laquiz is more specialized in dealing with harpies in the air than azine. In common terms, azine can hunt faster than lagus, and in PVP, azine is stronger than lagus.

And I thought a point was coming in about the "Maiden Girl," which is a Raw Snow tone, but I mentioned the setting as a point. It's cute to pretend to be solemn.
