50 – World 11. To the Hatchery (1)
[Run Leventia.]
I came back after finishing my personal responsibilities and spent the day without any problems. Today, I came to another world without fail.
Since I had returned to Fort Fritton before I closed the connection yesterday, the place I was connected to was also Fort Fritton.
‘Well, it didn’t matter if it was a different place.’
The ‘Snow Wind Bird’, a high-level summon summoned in place of the magic carpet, boasted tremendous speed.
Even if it was accessed from another place, it probably took less than 20 minutes to fly here.
‘Rather than that, I asked to meet in front of the temple.’
Thinking about it, I slowly walked toward the temple, and soon I saw Karina and Ren standing side by side.
Also, next to them were Muel, a self-proclaimed genius wizard, and Soltis, a healer.
“Ah, Mr. Lee Seongmin! hello.”
“Well.”
I replied with a nod to Muel’s bright greeting and looked at Karina.
“What are you planning to do today?”
Of course, the higher the level, the higher the chance of handling the hatchery.
In addition, the level has risen quite a bit by hunting just one day the other day.
Karina seriously pondered whether or not she understood the meaning of my question.
“Iknow, right. The higher the level, the stronger it will be, so it will be safe, and conversely, the later you go to the hatchery, the higher the number will increase.”
“How many ghouls are there in the hatchery?”
“Assuming they are made properly, they will grow by 1-200 every 2-3 days.”
It was said that there would be 1-2 thousand in a month.
“The problem is that we don’t know when we found it in Fort Fritton. But since I saw the thugs gathering the other day, I wonder if there are at least 4-5 thousand of them.”
4-5 thousand.
It was obviously too many to challenge with this number.
“Actually, if it were the original me, I would have raided the hatchery after fighting a siege once. Until then, I raise my level and develop my strength.”
The word “originally” seemed to refer to a time when I wasn’t there.
Of course, it would be difficult for Karina to clear the hatchery by passing through 4-5,000 ugly feet.
In a way, the way Karina said was realistic.
‘For starters, there are several ways.’
Waiting for the siege while leveling up.
Secretly infiltrating the current personnel and disposing of the hatchery.
Or get people here and hit the hatchery head-on.
By the way, Muel, who was listening to the conversation now, looked like he had given up.
If it had been the other day, I would have asked why I didn’t know that fact.
anyway.
“Are there any vicious tribes gathering like yesterday?”
“There is a high probability that there will be. That way, they attack only when the number exceeds a certain number.”
“It’s decided.”
I told everyone about my decision.
“I hit the hatchery.”
“······Yes?”
After questioning the gathering beasts and making the decision to open the hatchery, everyone blinked and looked at me.
Similarly, Karina, who was silent for a moment at my decision, asked cautiously.
“Do you have a way?”
“I’ll go to the attrition war.”
I can draw an infinite number of soldiers.
A hatchery that produces 1 to 200 eggs in 2 to 3 days.
Needless to say, which of the two has the advantage?
Karina also moved on to the next question to see if she understood briefly the words of attrition.
“How many people?”
“It doesn’t matter if we do it ourselves…”
I glanced at Muel and Soltis.
What I need most here are the soldiers I pull out, not these two.
Moreover, since it is a hatchery, the income obtained will be considerable even if the risk is set aside.
It was my first hunt the other day, so I didn’t care, but I didn’t have to take him with me this time to make a profit.
“What are you two going to do?”
“If you want to go together, you mean come to Lee Seong-min’s party?”
Muel said it briefly, and accepted it right away.
“like. There is also a story I had with Karina yesterday.”
Karina?
It seemed like the two of them had a conversation while I was gone.
‘What kind of story?’

Deciding to ask Karina later, I looked at Soltis next.
Soltis nodded heavily, as if it took him to fall for himself apart from the fact that it was dangerous.
“All right. I participate.”
“Wow, really? Mr. Soltis was not very involved in this kind of thing.”
“To be honest, I don’t want to do anything dangerous.”
Even when I saw it, I felt that I had managed to participate.
‘Is there a reason for refusing to do dangerous work?’
At that time, Soltis first asked for understanding.
“But I have a hard time accessing it every day. I hope you understand only that part.”
“Is there a reason?”
Now that they’re at the same party, it seemed okay to ask.
So, when I asked him, Soltis told me about his circumstances.
“My main job is a doctor. He heals others with his healing skills on behalf of machines. There are so many people getting hurt every time, so I can’t leave easily.”
Muel was startled and asked.
“Mr. Soltis, were you a doctor?”
“Yes.”
Well.
But what is it that so many people get hurt every time?
Also, there were one or two more things I wanted to ask about how I logged in now, but I stopped seeing his reluctant expression.
‘After all, there are many things I haven’t said.’
I didn’t tell them about my game skills right now.
Also, looking back on it, I remembered that Soltis didn’t ask me any special questions, so I spoke to Karina again.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes. Before that, I need to go see Mr. Zepin.”
Should I take that baggage knight with me too?
I thought about it, but I couldn’t help it because I needed someone to testify if I could handle the hatchery.
“Ah, Mr. Lee Sungmin. there.”
Suddenly Karina called me and pointed to one side.
I turned my head in that direction and saw Zepin walking just in time.
How did you get it right?
Looking behind Zepin with his thoughts, there was also Diofen, the general manager of this Fritton Fortress.
Seeing the two of them, I could roughly guess what had happened.
‘It must have been looking for me.’
My current appearance is also noticeable, so it seems that someone saw me and reported it to Zepin.
The reason is probably because of the magic arrow staff.
“Here you are. I found it.”
As soon as Zepin spotted me, he quickened his pace and greeted me lightly.
“What is going on?”
“I reported the staff you showed me before. Then, Diofen-nim said he seriously wanted to see you.”
It was also a cane.
Nodding as I had already expected it, I looked at Diofen standing behind Zepin.

Diofen, who met my eyes, naturally walked forward and started talking about the wand.
“I heard some unbelievable things from Sir Zepin. There is a staff that can shoot indefinitely.”
“It should be.”
After answering, I opened the subspace and took out the magical arrow staff and handed it over.

Diofen made a surprised expression, as if he didn’t know that he would hand it over right away, but soon returned to his original face.
“I guess this is the wand. Can I ask how you use it?”
“Stretch out your staff and fire your magic arrows.”
“It’s also simple to use.”
Eventually Diophen stretched out his wand towards the empty sky.
“Magic Arrow.”
Pod!—
At the same time, a blue arrow the thickness of a human forearm was fired from the tip of the staff.
“Magic arrow. magic arrow. magic arrow.”
After that, Diofen shot magic arrows one after another, as if testing the rapid fire power of his staff.
I and my companions watched calmly, but the nearby players all showed surprised expressions.
‘Come to think of it, this place was in front of the temple.’
Thanks to this, quite a few players have seen this spectacle, but left it alone.
Rather, it might be better to spread rumors.
Anyway, after shooting magic arrows for a long time, Diofen showed admiration as he lowered his staff as if the experiment was over soon.
“Awesome. How could you really unleash such an attack without any conditions?”

Diopen’s admiring eyes flashed with greed for a moment.
If all the soldiers here were armed with that staff, it was clear that the power would increase dramatically, so it was understandable.
In a sense, that staff was superior to modern guns.
“Can you deliver this?”
“As long as the price is right.”
“… but it’s such an excellent weapon, I don’t know what to pay for it.”
The magic arrow staff could be fired as many times as it was able to speak, and the number of times was unlimited.
Maybe that’s why Diofen didn’t seem to think of a proper price.
‘If I ask for 50 kg of crystals for one wand, will it be given?’
Of course, I was well aware that there was no decision like that.
“Is there anything you want?”
“Well.”
Wouldn’t there be no decision?
I don’t know if I thought about it a little more, but right now, the only decision I could think of was to raise my job level.
“Or what about this?”
When I showed my distress, Diofen made a suggestion.
“500. If you deliver 500 of them, I will continue to give you half of the crystals you get from Fritton Fortress in the future.”
“half?”
“Instead, the period will be three years.”
“…”
I thought about it for a second.
In effect, it meant buying a cane in three-year installments.
In this regard, it seemed necessary to find out how much crystals were obtained from Fritton Fortress.
“How many crystals can I get in a day?”
“I leave the hunting to the aliens, so I usually get nothing, but if they attack instead, I get 40-50 kg of crystals.”
It was said that every time you defended against the beasts, you would get 40 to 50 kg of crystals.
But after thinking it over.
“It’s not good either.”
It was bad.
