[Tutorial Chapter 2 – Moving]
-You must move along the grassland and reach your destination.
– Time left until destination: 151 hours 41 minutes
Following the tutorial’s instructions, the real movement began.
Perhaps it was because they had safely completed the first chapter’s ordeal, the Wave, and were able to rest without worry for the first time? People’s condition seemed better than ever.
And finally, the carriage made by the twin sisters started moving.
Ddudduk-
“Wow, it’s moving!”
“See, my carriage is faster?”
“What are you talking about? It’s the same no matter where I look!”
“I’m deliberately going slow so I can look after my sister.”
“Change seats! If my carriage is in front, I will show you superior speed!”
The carriage was even better than Seun had imagined.
There probably wasn’t much time left, but the size was just right and it was sturdy enough to carry a lot of luggage without any problems.
The four wheels were wrapped in what appeared to be boar hide, which served as cushions of sorts.
It was the most appropriate choice in this place where air tires were not available.
“Are you doing well?”
“Yes, thanks. But I wonder if it’s okay for me to be the only one on the carriage like this.”
“It’s okay. Just pulling the carriage is like doing the work of several people.”
After giving Baekhyun the task of raising Manticore, Se-woon went straight to find Yoo Seo-ah and explained the situation.
To be honest, Seun had no problem handling two skeletons on his own, but it was common sense for most people to have one coachman per carriage.
Taking advantage of that, he had Baekhyun sit on the carriage so he could study necromancy there.
And it wasn’t a complete lie, the skeleton in the carriage Baekhyun was riding in was really a skeleton he had summoned.
-The constellation, ‘The Horse that Tramples Death’, is amazed by the contractor’s wealth of knowledge and teaches him the basics of black magic.
If the constellations of Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol, ‘The Crowned Spider’ and ‘The Old Man Riding a Crocodile’, valued practice over theory, Gamigin, the trampling horse of death, was more passionate about pursuing knowledge.
As soon as he finished his short conversation with Se-woon, Baek-hyun looked at him with a serious look in his eyes and asked the constellation a question. It seemed like it was a perfect fit.
Meanwhile, Se-un sat down in the carriage at the back, took a stance, and began to gather mana.
The skeleton had been instructed to follow the carriage in front, so Seun had nothing to do right away unless something went wrong.
Woof!
As I mastered the ultimate deep attack, the speed at which my internal energy accumulated became even faster.
Based on the experience I had in the community, I am currently gathering mana for the circle while also gathering danjeon.
If the numerous players at the top had seen this sight, they would have opened their mouths in admiration.
It is generally known that it is impossible to gather internal energy and mana at the same time.
‘The circle has definitely become much more stable.’
Like the Extreme Deep Gong, the Black Tower’s training method emphasizes efficiency but lacks stability.
The Mana Circle was also rough and unpolished compared to the first circle.
However, after opening Baekhyun’s circle, the black mana that came back through Baekhyun’s circle greatly refined Seun’s circle.
It seemed as if the mana still spinning in the circle was ‘humming’ as if asking for praise.
“You never know when a monster might show up! I’ll have two people patrol the area every two hours!”
“yes!”
While Se-woon was deep in concentration, he heard Yoo Seo-ah’s voice directing the people.
People begin to surround the carriage with guard at her command.
There was no mention of monsters in the system, so it would be easy to let your guard down. As expected, it’s typical of Yu Seo-ah, who is meticulous.
Other people also followed her words well thanks to their memories of Monster Wave and the trust they had built up in Yusua until now.
‘Come to think of it, it was around this time.’
According to Se-Woon’s memory, a surprise attack by a monster occurs near the end of the meadow.
However, since there was no point on the grassland that could be used to specify the location, Seun did not know the exact location.
Even though I tried to recall my memories before the regression, I was so anxious at the time that I couldn’t even remember where the monster appeared.
And then, just as it happened, the most appropriate way to figure this out occurred to me.
That’s right, go out and do reconnaissance yourself.
“Jeongpil-ah.”
Se-woon called out to Park Jeong-pil without looking anywhere in particular, just as he was in a comfortable position.
But, as usual, I didn’t hear the answer right away. So, the moment I tried to call his name again,
“Yes, hyung! Jeongpil is here!”
Park Jeong-pil came running urgently from afar.
I looked at the place where the guy had come running from, wondering what he had been doing, and a man who had been standing guard on the left flinched as his eyes met Se-woon’s.
‘I guess you were standing guard.’
Perhaps, as soon as he heard his name, he changed seats using Seun as an excuse.
The person who just made eye contact with Seun would have had no choice but to switch seats because of the value of the name ‘Seun’.
This, unintentionally, only served to further increase its notoriety.
I thought about persecuting Park Jeong-pil, but… … .
‘I need this right now.’
Unless Se-un himself steps forward, the most appropriate person to go on a reconnaissance mission was Park Jeong-pil.
Thanks to his contract with Ballefor, he’s fast on his feet and, having been active as a runner up until now, he’s probably good at running away.
“Go do some reconnaissance.”
“Reconnaissance? Where to?”
“Forward.”
“You’re already standing guard ahead. Do you really need me?”
“Not that far, but much further ahead. Go ahead and look around for a few kilometers.”
“……yes?”
Park Jeong-pil’s face hardened.
He thought he was free from annoying border missions, but then he was given a much more difficult mission, so he couldn’t help but react that way.
However, this time the guy didn’t listen to Seun’s words easily.
“Tongue, bro! I’m good at it, but it’s too much.”
“why?”
“We’re all moving steadily, so if we want to scout out a few kilometers ahead, we’d have to keep running for hours! Even I can’t do it. I can’t do it!”
“Hmm… … .”
Now that I hear it, it’s true.
I didn’t think much about it because he was always the type to do whatever he was told to do, but it would definitely be difficult to go on a reconnaissance mission on two legs.
Scouts are usually seen riding horses.
‘That’s right.’
Come to think of it, there wasn’t anything I couldn’t help you with.
Se-Woon turned around and searched through the luggage piled up in the carriage, and found one of the bones of a red wolf.
I had prepared this in advance in case I had to travel long distances to find hidden pieces.
Anyway, there were no hidden pieces to find for the time being, and Seun had to move to his destination, so he didn’t have to board the ship himself.
Additionally, thanks to Baekhyun raising a skeleton, Se-woon can summon one more skeleton.
Dduk dduk!
“Whoa!”
I now summoned the wolf’s bones with the summoning technique I was familiar with.
Although it was not as big as a wild boar, it was a considerable size, as expected of a red wolf. When the remaining skin was used as a saddle, it looked quite good.
However, this is not enough.
Kwajik!
Se-Woon took out the black magic stone that he had used to open Baekhyun’s circle last time.
A black magic stone that has become transparent with its mana completely emptied.
He drove it into the wolf’s skull.
Because it was not simply forced into place, but rather ‘installed’ into the skeleton’s skull, the black magic stone settled into the wolf’s skull as if it were its original place.
The sight was like looking at a horned wolf.
Woohoo!
Immediately afterwards, Seun breathed mana into the black magic stone.
Then, a light gray mana slowly rose up into the transparent black magic stone.
Although it is not as good as its original appearance, which boasted a completely black color, it will be enough to maintain the skeleton as a top-grade mana stone.
“Is this enough?”
“Wow, are you giving this to me?”
“Well, I guess it depends on what you’re doing.”
“Ah, thank you! I’m glad I followed you, hyung!”
Since it requires regular injection of black mana, ownership cannot be transferred, but if you give it the order to follow Park Jeong-pil’s instructions, it is possible to handle it even if it is not Se-un.
Since it was only needed for a short while for reconnaissance anyway, I didn’t explain it in detail.
As soon as the ride came, Park Jeong-pil completely erased his troubled expression and climbed onto the skeleton’s saddle.
“Since it is a gift from my brother, I will name it Baekrang after my brother’s nickname!”
“ha…….”
That guy, even when things are going well, he always says something more and makes my forehead tingle.
Thinking so, Se-woon waved his hand.
“Okay, I’ll be back. Brother! Here we go!”
“Report properly and go. Don’t scare people.”
“Hey, I have that much common sense! Let’s go, Baekrang!”
Taat!
The skeleton that Park Jeong-pil rode moved its legs.
The guy, I warned him in advance so he wouldn’t do anything too conspicuous, but he just goes out on a scouting expedition after bragging around people.
Why did that guy have the talent of a herder and why did Balefor’s attention turn to him?
I couldn’t understand it at all.
Woohoo!
In the meantime, Se-Woon was able to focus on gathering his internal energy and mana again.
The peaceful movement continued for a while.
People were starting to relax and were slowly getting ready to take a break.
“Huh? Don’t you think there’s something there?”
“What are you talking about? I can’t see it?”
“Over there, there’s something small… … . It looks like there’s something there. There seems to be some dust behind it.”
“is it?”
I heard some people muttering.
Se-un also looked in the direction they were pointing, but he couldn’t see it properly because the distance was too far.
I had a rough idea who it was, but I had to check.
-The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.
[ The eagle’s saddle eye ]
– The monarch eagle, a beast known to rule the skies, boasts outstanding eyesight that allows it to spot prey on the ground even above the clouds.
Seun opened Mammon’s warehouse and checked the situation ahead.
And just as Se-woon had expected, Park Jeong-pil was approaching them at an accelerating pace.
However, the guy’s expression was extremely urgent. It was as if he was being chased by something…
“ha…….”
Se-woon let out a deep sigh.
Hundreds of monsters were discovered chasing after Park Jeong-pil.
The identity of the dust clouds rising in clumps was these guys.
I sent them out to scout out people, fearing that they might be herders, but they brought back a herd of monsters.
“Everyone, prepare for battle.”
“Do you see that?”
“No, I don’t think even Mongolians would be able to see that street… … .”
“Everyone, get ready! We’ll form up around the carriage!”
Under the instructions of Yoo Seo-ah, who noticed Se-woon’s seriousness, the people formed a formation.
Chapter two of the tutorial, Moving.
The first battle was approaching.
