"To make a leap, we need a cold mana crystal that only comes from the frozen forest. Twenty should be enough."
20 ingredients to collect.
"My owl will tell you where it is.”
It is not necessary, but it is also accompanied by a guide.
It was the nicest of the main scenario quests Midas has ever experienced.
So Midas was sure, of course.
'If it's easy to find, it's hard to get.'
If this is easy, it will be much more difficult in the future.
Such Midas' prediction hit the mark.
Kku!
[Enters the land of cold mana]
[Harsh energy]
The place that followed the guide of the owl.
Midas was clearly seen in places where it was hard to see anything, let alone find something, due to the constant snowstorm.
'Snow Monster 66.
66 snow monsters gathered in one place like a family.
Such snow monsters had various appearances.
'There are five of them that are as big as trolls.'
Big as a troll to slender as a wolf and Orcs and Goblin.
'That's a disgraceful combination.’
It was the combination that players most hated to face in the frozen forest.
In other words, it was a dangerous combination.
In general, when hunting a group of monsters, there is a basic attack method that fits them, but if there are so many different types, the basic attack method has become meaningless.
In particular, the combination of small but fast ones like Goblin, as opposed to big ones like Trolls, was a combination that could be cursed from the standpoint of dealing with them.
Midas looked different, however.
'That's pretty good for you.’
Rather, he turned his head to the side with a welcoming look on his face.
Hehehehe!
Then came Lucky's image of finding an enemy and lowering his breathing, an ice night without a breath, and Gold.
Soon after, Gold met his eyes and Gold nodded.
Midas, who saw it, also nodded.
'This is enough to check Gold's power.’
Later Midas, who looked back at the battlefield, breathed a short breath and breathed it out.
With that breath he gave out orders.
"Gold, sweep away."
His voice is so low that he can't hear the sound of snow and wind.
"For the lord!"
But in that voice Gold began to race without hesitation, showing more determination than ever before.
Crrrr!
Kkai?
Snow monsters gathered in the race all at once focused attention on Gold, while at the same time focusing on the enemy.
Be prepared for battle.
And such a figure was enveloped in a blizzard.
a horrifying sight
It was the moment.
"Inferno!"
Inferno's demons, which appeared with the spell Midas uttered, showed up, throwing out a huge fire at a swarm of snow monsters hidden in snowstorms and snowfields.
Fluttering!
It was only after such a fire had melted the snowstorm like a tent and cleared the snowfield that the battlefield was properly visible.
In fact, if you just wanted to hunt, you didn't have to.
Midas' eyes were not dazzled by snowstorms or snowfields.
Nevertheless, it was to be more accurate to see the stage.
'Gold, show me your ability.’
Gold, how well he fights with new powers.
That's how the battle began.
8.
[Snow Monster Defeated]]
[Levels up.]
Gold, who defeated the last Snow Monster on stage, shouted, pulling out a knife stuck in Snow Monster's body.
"Master! I've put an end to this battle!"
Midas couldn't give a compliment to Gold, who seemed to want a compliment.
Far from praising him, Midas just looked at the battlefield without saying a word.
It was that much.
I didn't know it was this bad.’
Gold's fighting power easily crossed Midas' common sense category.
It wasn't just a strong attack, a high stats level.
'The way of fighting, the pattern of attack, is varied, and clever.’
Rather, what impressed Midas was his ability to cope with countless variables in combat situations.
'It's not Woo-yeon.’
Moreover, this judgment was not based on a single battle.
This was the 20th time.
In 20 battles, Gold proved that the fighting power he showed was not luck but a real ability.
I'm sure he'll be better at dealing with things than I am if he really sets them up and gets buffs.….'
I even think that the BJ Gold's mutiny, which I've said for fun, might become a reality.
On the other hand, the idea determined Midas.
'It's stupid not to set the items.’
If you set up a good item and you hesitate to invest because you don't want to waste money, that's a loss.
'Even with all my bank accounts.'
Midas realized that it was no time to decide what to do for Gold's item setting.
In such thoughts Midas stood before the crystal flowers blooming in the battlefield.
"Item routing."
[Inventory item acquired.]
[Quest condition met.]
The moment all the materials demanded by NPC Lightling are collected.
'Once we break the quest, let's go out and find a market.’
At that moment, the owl, which had been guiding me so far, made a sound.
Ooh!
It's a sad sound, unlike before.
After making such a few sounds, he flapped his wings and flew over the snowstorm.
Then came a man with an owl in the direction from which the owl flew away.
"You really did.”
NPC Lightling, Midas tilted his head at his sudden appearance.
What was more surprising was next.
"Get it."
With the appearance, NPC Lightling lightly threw the bottle in his hand at Midas, and Midas reflexively snatched it away.
'Huh?'
Midas' eyes, which confirmed the identity of the bottle they had snatched, grew as big as a glass of fire.
[Lightling's leap]
- It's Wright's leap. It grows Thunderbirds and draws hidden power.
Midas' long-awaited leap forward is just around the corner.
I didn't even give you the ingredients.’
The problem was that Midas didn't hand over a single set of materials in his inventory now.
It's natural to be surprised.
"I apologize for testing you."
NPC Lightling apologized and explained to Midas why he was so surprised Midas.
"I wanted to know if you really have the will to fight the power of the nameless God and the power to do so.
[Quest completed successfully]
At that moment, words followed the quest notification.
"From now on you will be pursued and attacked by those who seek to exploit the power of the nameless God."
"Chasing and attacking?”
Midas came to mind with the emergence of a word that would be a headache for anyone.
'Don't tell me?
The case that NPC Choi asked him to do.
"Choi would have told me. As to why I left without a word."
Midas thought, following the explanation.
Are you saying there are enemies in the Tunga kingdom? Then what if?
NPC Lightling told Midas more clearly.
"There are groups using the power of a nameless god all over the kingdom of Tunga, including there."
At the same time, a quest window appeared before Midas' eyes.
[Lightling's Trust]
- Quest rating: Main Scenario
- Quest level: Level 145 or higher.
- Quest content: Find and attack the unknown Magician's dungeon and gain Lightling's trust.
- Quest Rewards: Unknown
The Ring of King Tuna
!On completion of the quest, you can proceed with 'Lightling's Fellowship'.
'Finally!'
The moment I finally got what I wanted.
"Of course I can't trust you right now. I can't confirm your skill exactly. "Will I be able to assign you a role in my place..."
At the words of NPC Lightling that followed, Midas shouted even before the horse was finished.
"You can do anything! If it doesn't work, I'll make it work! I will prove that I can!"
Toward Midas, so startled, NPC Lightling said, nodding instead of warning.
"I came to the frozen forest to find a dungeon of a man who studied the power of a nameless god somewhere here. But I still can't find it. That's why I gave you my leap.”
"With a leap, can we just strengthen Thunderbird's search capabilities?”
NPC Lightling nodded instead of answering, and Midas, who saw the figure, did not hesitate.
'Don't waste your time and let's go fast!’
After opening the lid of the bottle containing the leap from NPC Lightling, it spilled on the palm of its hand.
Then something like jelly appeared on his palm.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle wiggle!
And the liquid began to wriggle like a living bug and move over Midas' palms.
"Uh, uh!"
Midas surprised by the situation, at that moment Jackpot flew in and pecked the blue liquid into his beak at once and swallowed it at once.
Coo-oo!
Soon after, Jackpot's body began to grow as his wings fluttered vigorously with a loud roar.
[Choose the new capabilities of the jackpot yourself.]
Soon after, three cards appeared in front of Midas with a notification.
'Huh?'
All the cards that emit only golden light.
"Basic Legendary? Just close your eyes and pick?'
Midas's eyes, which found a card in a ridiculous sight, grew bursting.
[Song of Orion ]
- Skill rating: Legendary
- Skill effect: Sing Orion's song and lift part of Orion's god's power to the designated target. Increases all the capability of the target.
As soon as he saw the Buff Skill, or the ridiculous Buff Skill, Midas couldn't stand it and was shocked.
"Bitch, that's ridiculous!
Midas, who covered his mouth with his own hands, still looked at Jackpot with astonished eyes.
Kku!
Jackpot, which boasts a bigger body.
Midas, who confirmed it, turned his head and looked at Gold.
"That spoiled bad bird has grown big. But I'm still not going to be the only one."
A picture was drawn in Midas' head looking at Gold.
'If the gold is tempered and you get this buff......it's really gonna happen.’
It's a picture of Gold being the star of a live show after trampling on BJ.
'I'm going to have to hit the item.’
It was the moment when the hesitation that had been in Midas' heart disappeared.
9.
a frozen forest
There Midas stood facing a blizzard.
Such Midas' expression was coldly hardened.
It was not to blame for the cold.
'Meeting in a few minutes.'
Now, I have to have a meeting with the president of Rising Star Channel in a little while.
'You should ask me to buy Black Claymore.’
Midas wanted to ask Rising Star Channel to buy Black Claymore.
Of course, I never thought of asking him to buy it.
'I can't stand to scream myself.’
"I will pay for it, so please take over for the deal.
Considering the networking of Rising Star channels, it would have been much cheaper.
'It's the best I can do.……’
Of course, it was like leaving part of Midas' mishap to Rising Star channel.
'Oh, I never thought I'd make this mistake here after doing a good job.’
Besides, this was the first time.
Until now, Midas had never entrusted the Rising Star channel with the management of what he had done in this way.
Because Rising Star Channel helped me out.
That's why I couldn't help but feel worse.
[Warton is on the line.]
Soon, I saw the president of Rising Star Channel in the chat window.
- Wharton: How are you?
The president of Rising Star Channel greeted him as soon as he appeared.
"Chem."
Midas gave a short cough without giving an immediate answer to the greeting.
"Chem."
'Oh, it's really hard to talk.’
It's more embarrassing if you open your mouth when you're asking for a favor even though you know your own sins.
So Midas took a detour once.
"You're busy these days, aren't you?" Because of me."
Start a light talk.
- Wharton: I'm definitely busy with BJ's Gold Special.
But Midas smiled awkwardly at the answer that followed.
That's not the end.
- Wharton: More.My work got so big that it was a little harder than usual to do related work.
Midas bit his teeth as soon as he saw the chat.
The meaning of what the Rising Star Channel CEO said was clear.
You're killing me!
'Oh, shit.'
At that moment, Midas' memory of the past came to mind.
He ignored the team's order and gave the team a chance to lose the game.
After that, he was dragged in front of the coach and made excuses, but was later ordered to stay out of the game for a whole month.
The case told me.
'You can't ask for favors.’
Don't even think about bringing up Black Claymore right now.
"I'm sorry."
Just apologize.
- Wharton: No. You don't have to apologize. Anyway, I got everything thanks to my busy schedule.
Midas' expression changed slightly in the chat that came out then.
"What is it got?"
- Wharton: Yeah, I can't be clumsy with this much anticipation for the Gold feature.
At that moment Midas could feel the atmosphere flowing strangely.
'Ah!'
Soon Midas noticed.
'You got the item for my back-up.
Rising Star Channel made up for his mistake.
- Wharton: There's no reason to do it unless it's the best show.
And they're giving us another chance to make up for it.
- Wharton: All the goods have arrived. We'll have one sent right away.
Midas had one thing to say in front of him.
"Well done."
'Thank you, sir. I'll bow to the boss three times before I go to bed tonight. Long live your life.'
Just to express gratitude.
After such a meeting, Midas said with a brighter look now than ever.
"Gold! I'll get the item! Wait! I'll be right back."
Ten minutes later Midas, who was back on the game, closed his eyes tightly and said low.
"......I'm going crazy."
Then Midas, who opened his eyes again and was looking at new items filled in my inventory, said to Gold.
"Gold, from now on you'll have no choice but to be the main character."
