Chapter 69: 69

Chapter 69. All – Intelli

“Thank you for being so considerate.”

“Rather, it’s a pity that this is all I could do for you.”

“We are more grateful. Hero of Azharus, Mose.”

The Adult of the leaves, a dwarf, and the Adult of the bushes, an elf, bowed their heads to me to show their gratitude.

And behind them, there gathered all the people of Ash Tree Village.

“We’ve been rude to you despite what you have done for us.”

“This was a mistake made by the wise Adults of Azharus.”

The Adult of the leaves and the Adult of the bushes nodded at each other.

Although their eye levels had quite a gap in between.

“And in that sense, we, the Adults of Azharus, would like to give you a small gift as an apology.”

“Even though it is an item possessed by the fallen Adult of the swamps, this item is something that only adults in Azharus can have since the ancient times! Its sanctity and spirituality are still kept within this item.”

Then the Adult of the leaves, the dwarf, carefully pulled out a jewelry box from his inner pocket.

The case was decorated with crimson fuzz and its rims were bright silver, gleaming in the sunlight.

“Could I really take this?”

When I asked, he hurriedly twisted the interlocking lid of the jewel box and opened it.

Looking around, I noticed that everyone I looked at was nodding their heads as our eyes met. So I carefully picked up the items in the jewelry box.

At that moment, a bright purple light filled my vision.

[All – Intelli]

Rank: Unique

Class: Magic stone

This is a portal stone made from the wick of the Avek tree, which is called the ‘Martyr Tree’.

The user is transported to ‘All – Intelli’ upon usage.

Saved Location (1/1)

– All – Intelli

History: The Adults of Azharus have always been interested in the old history of the Free City of Azharus. Since there were no records or means to look into the short-lived past of this land due to the powerful countries around the land continuously scrambling the land, the Adults have decided to join hands to establish a hall of knowledge.

With their tenacity to restore the lost history of Azharus, they built a huge library in their own secret place. This secret library is named ‘All-Intelli’ and is only accessible to the Adults of Azharus.

It was a portal stone that looked quite different from the portal stone received from the master.

“The value of this gift seems small compared to what you have done for Azhaurs.

“However, if you could take it as a token of our gratitude, then we will be able to sleep in our beds with a happy heart.”

After seeing the almost begging expression on the Adult of leaves, I carefully picked it up without any more delay.

“I wish you a meaningful journey.”

“Goodbye, our savior!”

Finally, all the Adults were able to put a wide smile on their faces. And behind them, I could hear the thundering cheers from the people of Ash Tree Village.

A wave of emotions suddenly rushed into my heart, relaxing the back of my neck. Khea, who was also being cheered, waved her arms eagerly at the villagers with a broad smile.

We arrived at the Azharus Pier after receiving such enthusiastic cheers. The place was crowded with countless people.

“Hey, this is the famous Golden Ship, right?”

“Is this really made out of gold? I kinda wanna try biting it.”

“Take a screenshot of me in front of it!”

“It’s so huge…”

There was no place for me to even step a foot in front of the SkyLord due to the people trying to take pictures.

Whereas Asparagan Pier was thoroughly divided and the entrance itself consisted of a narrow gate, Azharus Pier was a completely open place.

That was why the ship was able to catch so much more attention than the last time.

It was expected that I would attract this much attention after my name was put on the first place in the honor ranking and the SkyLord which made an impressive appearance back in the battle against the Prince of Rebellion. However, I was not expecting to attract this many players.

“Did you know? If you pour ice reagent into the crystal ball and then take a picture, it comes out really well.”

“Yeah, no. The face on the pictures gets super pixelated!”

“Who cares as long as you get a pretty shot? That’s all it matters, right?”

“Yo, where’s the entrance to this ship?”

“I don’t know, should I try touching it?”

The SkyLord was suffering among the overwhelmingly huge crowd surrounding it.

Khea and I carefully approached the ship by joining in the crowd as we looked at each other for a plan.

“I don’t think we can get on the ship in this crowd so openly…”

Keah whispered while looking at me. As she said, it was not an option to just hop on the ship in this crowd. Then she suddenly grabbed me by my shoulder and pulled me into her arms.

“What the…?”

“This is the famous golden ship everyone’s been talking about?!”

She suddenly started to put up a playful act as she pulled out a crystal ball from her pocket.

“Khea, when did you buy thi…”

“Alright! Let’s take a picture together!”

And just like that, we completely blended in with the crowd and merged with players who simply took pictures around the ship.

A moment later, the crystal ball flashed once, and only then did she loosen her arms around my shoulder.

“Now that we’ve seen everything we wanted to see, shall we go back?”

“Huh…? Yeah…”

I carefully played along with her, but she kept poking on my side as if she wasn’t quite satisfied with my answer.

“So I’m saying that we should go back to Asparagan using the ‘portal stone’!”

“Ah.”

Understanding the meaning of her words, I took out the portal stone from my inventory and made a voice so low that only Khea could hear it.

“Elsha, can you hear me?”

Suddenly, the body of the ship flashed and a tremendous mechanical sound began to resound from the gravitational stone behind it.

People around me started cheering and shouting.

“Wait, what?! He was already inside?”

“So the first place in the honor ranking Mose is on the ship right now, right? Right?”

“I heard that’s all just a rumor.”

“Or maybe he’s trying to hop on right now.”

A few of the people started to look around. 

“Let’s. Go. To. Asparagan. Now!”

Shouted Keah in a very loud voice with a very awkward break in between each word. Barely stopping me from bursting out a laughter after hearing that, I pretended to throw the portal stone in front of me.

Then I requested in a very small voice that even Khea standing right next to me couldn’t hear.

“Elsha, could you open up the entrance portal?”

“It is still possible.”

“Could you open it please?”

As soon as I asked, a huge portal appeared in front of me and Khea.

We were caught by the eyes of many players standing around us for a moment, but it seemed that we didn’t catch any suspicions since there were many other people starting to open up their portals as they got tired of hearing the loud mechanical engine noise of the SkyLord.

Having suffered through such troubles and barely being able to throw ourselves into the portal, Khea and I were able to relax only after arriving at the large floor of the familiar guest room.

“Phew…”

I laid down on the floor without realizing it after I heard Khea’s long sigh of relief.

“Mose, the Superhero of Azharus! How’re you supposed to do your job when you’re this famous~?”

Khea threw a playful joke at me as she immediately headed into the room I usually slept in SkyLord.

I followed her into the room in order to answer back at her. When I went in she placed a parchment in her hand on a dark wooden table.

“This is…?”

The contents of the parchment that I saw over Khea’s shoulder were the pictures she had just taken with me.

“Well, wouldn’t it be better to keep’em instead of just throwing them out?”

She said with a decreasing volume as she hurriedly ran out of her room. After making sure she left the room, I carefully fiddled with the parchment.

The scrambled first black and white picture I took with her meant something very special to me.

After a while, I walked out of the room and called for Elsha.

“What is our next destination?”

As if trying to make an expression, the smoke on her face moved in a particularly dizzying manner.

“Our next destination is Tikris.”

“Tikris, understood. You are taking quite a long journey?”

“Things ended up to be like this.”

I took a look at the map before speaking to her.

It was clear that Tikris was much farther away than Bing Caravan and Azharus.

I read some expedition notes on one of the <Circuit Master> forums in the past.

It said that Tikris was somewhat like Las Vegas in the real world.

First of all, it was said that there were tremendous sizes of gambling houses. It was also introduced as the No.1 tourist attraction for players who want to have fun as it is a place with the most developed night culture.

This was the first time going to Tikris even for Khea, so the journey from now on was new to both of us.

“We will now be departing from the pier.”

At the end of Elsha’s words, my body started to tremble along with the trembling body of the ship.

Keah, who was reading a book while leaning against the wall in one corner of the hall, closed the book and looked up at the sky with an intrigued expression.

Leaving behind the sound of the noisy crowd outside, the SkyLord escaped out of  Azharus at full speed.

The SkyLord cruised through the sky after it had found its main track. Around the time I got used to the mechanical sound that was ringing in my ears, I carefully took out the portal stone I had received from the Adults of Azharus from my inventory.

It was a unique rank portal stone that had only one location saved on it.

I was so curious about the contents inside that it was driving me almost insane. Khea also approached and began to show a hint of interest in the item.

“Would you like to go in together?”

She shook her head at my question.

“As the Adult of the leaves told you, it’s an item only for you.”

“I wouldn’t have been able to solve the whole incident that happened in Azharus without you. I’m not worthy of claiming this item only for myself.”

“I am a citizen of Azharus before I am your colleague. I want to respect the rule of Azharus, y’know?”

After reluctantly rejecting my offer, she raised one of her eyebrows and pouted for a moment.

“Well… It would be nice if you brought some books I wanted to read back with you…”

I quickly intercepted after hearing her shy voice.

“What did you want to read?”

“Uh… What was it called, ‘Bard of the Cafera’, I think…?”

I barely held back from putting a wide smile on my face after watching her awkward act.

“I’ll make sure to bring it back with me if I can find it.”

I threw the portal stone after saying goodbye to her. Then I threw myself into the giant waving portal that appeared in front of me without hesitation.

The scent of dried petals from Khea and the wood flooring of SkyLord disappeared from my nose in an instant.

Instead, the musty smell of mold and paper welcomed me in.

Falling into a dark space, I hurriedly looked around.

Soon, I was greeted by the golden letters,

<All – Intelli>

< Achievement Unlocked! >

<The First Visitor of the Wounded History>

< Health +500 >

I unlocked an achievement just by entering this place.

But I couldn’t see anything because my eyes were not used to the dark yet, since I was instantly teleported from a bright place to a dark place.

It was only after shaking my head several times that I was finally able to spot flickering candles around me.

I headed toward the closest candle out of them.

Whoosh!

With that noise, the flames on the candles suddenly started to grow bigger one by one, like a fire that had been transferred to a string dripping with oil.

The surroundings became bright in an instant as the flames on the candles grew bigger.

And after a moment,

Swoosh!

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The same sound as before began to be heard more and more from several places, and the flickering candles began to burn fiercely, lighting up the entire room by the end of this sequence.

Then I was finally able to see how huge this room truly was. There were bookcases on all sides of the library, which seemed like it was about to collapse like dominoes at any moment, filling the sight.

Some of the bookshelves were neatly organized and others were unorganized. The bookshelves placed roughly in an overwhelmingly large space with no standards were showing off their magnificence.

The library was so much messier and cluttered than the average library that I was used to. It was impossible for me to believe that this library was filled with a wide range of knowledge, one could even call it a battlefield of books.

I carefully approached the bookshelf in front of me standing crooked. Then suddenly a blue light came up from the floor.

A magic circle written with unique patterns in a circle twinkled and wrapped around the bookshelf in front of me and myself.

[About Lang…]

[Books about Lang: 487]

[Books about Lang’s armory: 32]

[Blueprint of the Castle: 1]

[Number of quests acquirable from this bookshelf: 13]

A notification window in a blue color appeared in front of my eyes. I licked my lips involuntarily at the appearance of a pop-up window that clearly summarized the topic of the bookshelf.

And at that moment,

In a very unexpected moment,

The hidden quest reward was given to me.

< Hidden Quest Reward >

< You have found a new quest! >

[The Diary of a Fainthearted Blacksmith]

History: Dwarves were known to have inherited the fingers of God, and elves were known to have the ability to communicate with all beings that stand on the earth. A half-elf born between these two races, Lavogher, was born with the essence of both races.

Only a very limited number of people know the fact that he was a half-elf. Lavogher was a half-elf who was subjected to racism and persecution, so he always hid in the smithy and hammered his works. The pitiful alias of ‘Faceless Blacksmith’  was given to him with that context.

However, his great talent was to be praised as it was enough to shake the entire empire every time he used it. And the 11 engraved swords he forged were the product of his splendid and magnificent talent.

The 11 engraved swords are no longer together and are scattered all across the world.

It is said that a few of them were hidden by Lavogher’s own will. In order to search for them, one will have to start by obtaining the journal of Lavogher, who was working as a blacksmith hiding in the corner of Azharus.
