Chapter 137. < Episode 43. New Partner (5). >
13.
[You have put on Guardian’s Armor]
A notification that you are now on a higher stage.
The moment Midas heard such a notification, he was not thrilled.
“Fireball!”
I used the skill right on the spot.
[Casting has been completed.]
Eventually, along with the notification announcing the end of casting, a large fireball appeared on Midas’ palm.
Midas threw it swiftly.
The fireball flew through the darkness of the night forest and soon collided with a tree and exploded violently.
Perong!
The light went out with the explosion.
At the same time, a new fireball appeared above Midas’ hand.
‘done.’
A smile was deeper than ever at the corner of Midas’s mouth illuminated by the light from the fireball.
Midas threw the fireball into the distance and said.
“Lucky, Gold. It will be a bit difficult now.”
At those words, Lucky and Gold tilted their heads at the same time, and Midas spoke confidently to them.
“From now on, the bus I drive will be too fast.”
If there were players nearby, they would have carefully logged out and contacted a mental hospital to report that a lunatic was playing the game.
But Lucky and Gold were different.
king!
“Yes Master! I will go with you until I exceed the legend of that gold owner!”
The two showed unspeakable respect for Midas.
Seeing that, Midas smiled as if he was satisfied and looked at NPC Natars with NPC Umta.
“Now I will clear the name of the guardian.”
Now that you have collected all the Guardian’s Marks, all that remains is to go to Wood Village and restore the Guardian’s honor.
At the words of Midas, NPC Natarsa spoke.
“Go to the manager of Wood Village. You won’t need long words. My token and my son will explain everything.”
With those words, NPC Natarsa looked at her son and said.
“You bring a benefactor.”
“yes.
After a brief conversation, NPC Umta immediately began preparing to become Midas’ guide.
It was between them.
The NPC Natarsa, who was next to Midas, spoke to Midas in a very low voice.
“There’s another secret lab inside my lab in Wood Village. You’ll find a new helper there to help you.”
Midas smiled at that brief conversation.
‘As expected, this game is a God game.’
14.
Wood Village.
A commotion began to rise in a place where just looking at it made me admire.
“It’s the BJ Great Mage!”
The cause of the commotion is none other than Midas.
Players’ reactions to the appearance of Midas were very intense.
“Wasn’t it an hour ago that you did the Dark Wolf raid?”
“I saw the broadcast a little while ago!”
“Wow, I never thought I’d see you in Wood Village!”
It is also true that Midas successfully finished a live broadcast that was watched by as many as 1.4 million people just a moment ago.
Many of those who accessed Wood Village now were those who watched the broadcast.
Of course, that was the biggest reason players were interested.
“What do you know, now Gold has a new body!”
“gold! I need to take a picture of gold!”
That Gold got a new body.
“It’s even cooler than what I saw on TV!”
“Originally, Wear Wolf is cool.”
There were very few opportunities to take pictures with Werewolf in God Wars.
A rare great mage job. Among such great mages, there are only a handful of them who have mastered guardian magic.
It was impossible to properly see the werewolves in the night forest where they appeared.
It is only natural that their popularity soared after seeing such werewolves under the bright sunlight.
“My God, it’s a dark elf boy!”
“I never thought I would see a dark elf boy here!”
It was none other than NPC Umta who took the climax of the attention of the crowd.
Meeting elves in God Wars was harder than I thought, and it was extremely rare to meet young elves among them.
“The picture is different from the picture.”
“This is a fantasy!”
The sight of such an NPC Umta moving together, escorted by Gold and Lucky, was a scene that suited the word fantasy more than anything else.
“Ah, without BJ Grand Mage, it would be a painting!”
“Ah, BJ Grand Mage is annoying.”
That was the reason.
“BJ Grand Mage! Please get out of the way!”
“BJ Grand Mage, please clean up your face! If you can’t get out of the way, please hide your face.”
“Hey, that’s okay. Let’s just take a picture together and make a face mosaic.”
The reason why some complain about Midas.
At that fact, Midas made a puzzled expression.
‘Do I have to wear this mask? In the novels Hyeok-ju was reading, he wore something like a Hahoe mask.’
Just the moment when you suddenly feel bad.
Fortunately, Midas’ mood didn’t get any worse than that.
“Get out of the way.”
“What are you, don’t get out of the way…. omg!”
Because the NPCs showed up to greet Midas.
“Ooh Wood Village Ranger?”
The rangers of Wood Village, and thirty perfectly armed rangers, immediately surrounded Midas and set themselves up as a wall.
The one wearing the most splendid golden hat of the dogs approached Midas and soon bowed his head and said,
“Meet the Guardian.”
Seeing that, the people on the left were frightened.
“Aren’t you a Ranger Master with a golden hat?”
Asara!”
Ranger Master Asara.
Aren’t you the manager of Wood Village?”
An NPC who has authority over everything in Wood Village.
The appearance of such an NPC, Asara, made the atmosphere in the audience tense.
‘What else did BJ Grand Mage do this time… … ’
And the legends created by Midas made the atmosphere in the audience a bit heavier.
‘Could it be that this time, a tremendous Legendary item?’
Until now, Midas always met the top manager of the stage he visited, and after that meeting, he came out with something very powerful.
The moment when admiration rises beyond expectations.
At that moment, Midas shouted at everyone.
“Hey, you all saw what was going on! Don’t forget to subscribe, like, and comment on the Rising Star channel because you don’t know when the next live broadcast will be!” It was Midas who saved the opportunity until the end.
15.
‘Four thousand lines.’
Midas, who was guided by the Wood Village ranger, recalled a conversation with the NPC Asara earlier.
There was nothing special about it.
When Midas said that she had come to clear the name of NPC Natarsa, NPC Asara looked at the badge of guardian worn by Midas and said,
With the return of the Guardian, his honor will be restored.
At that moment, the next quest was activated.
[Guardian’s Secret Laboratory]
– Quest Level: Main scenario
– Quest Level: 110 or higher
– Quest Content: Visit the Guardian’s Laboratory and find the secret space inside!
– Quest Reward: Unknown
! Quest Reward: Helper
! Upon completion of the quest, you can proceed with the ‘approaching threat’ quest. The
current destination of Midas was the laboratory in the quest window.
“Here.”
Eventually, at the words of the Wood Village ranger, Midas stopped walking and raised his head.
What I saw was an ordinary brick building.
“This was the laboratory the Guardian used.”
At that, Midas stood in front of the door and said.
“Is the door open?”
“Since you brought the Guardian’s Token, the door will open on its own.”
At that moment, the door opened by itself.
Squeak!
It was a dark space beyond the open door with a creak indicating that it had been neglected for a considerable amount of time.
Midas entered the space.
[Entering the guardian’s laboratory.]
After that, the black space quickly began to reveal itself with a notification.
The space that was revealed was a space of about 20 pyeong, which would be more appropriately described as a study rather than a laboratory.
An out of the ordinary room.
Panting!
“Master, there doesn’t seem to be anything here.”
The room is so ordinary that neither Lucky nor Gold can feel anything special about it.
But Midas was different.
‘As expected, these eyes are comfortable.’
For his eyes saw an extraordinary place in this ordinary room.
Looking at Midas Lucky who took such a step, he said.
“Lucky.”
king?
“Shall I show you a magic trick?”
king!
In response to Lucky’s response, Midas put his hand on the floor.
Fu-wook!
Then, the place where Midas touched was dented like a button, and tsutsutsu! The floor began to crack with a faint sound.
The moment the secret laboratory is revealed.
Midas stretched out his arms toward the entrance of such a secret laboratory and said.
“Voila!”
Like a magician who has succeeded in magic.
That was the moment.
in the middle of the day!
Something appeared from beyond the secret space with a bizarre sound and attacked Midas as it was.
“Aww!”
Midas was frightened by this fact and fell to the floor.
As if that wasn’t enough, Midas vigorously resisted, shaking his arms and whole body.
Midas, who had been creating such an unsightly scene, soon came to his senses and looked at what had attacked him.
“bird?
What appeared was a bird with a blue color close to black.
The appearance was similar to that of a hawk. In particular, the yellow beak belonged to a bird of prey, no matter who saw it.
The size was quite large. If you spread your wings left and right, the length from end to end could be at least 2 meters.
flutter!
The bird flapped its wings a few times and landed lightly on Midas’ head.
Only then did Midas come to mind.
‘Could this helper be this guy?’
The meaning of the helper that NPC Natarsa brought out.
kid!
When he remembered that word, the bird above Midas’s head flapped its wings and went through the secret door on the floor again. Midas rose from his seat at the sight of him asking him to follow him.
It was only then that Midas was able to confirm Lucky and Gold’s gaze toward him.
“Hmm.
Seeing their boss’s ugly side, Midas coughed lightly at the gaze of the two and said to them.
“I am waiting here. I will come and go.”
After saying that, I went inside along the stairs going down to the basement.
[I entered the Guardian’s secret laboratory.]
The space I arrived at was about 10 pyeong.
The ceiling was studded with jewels that glowed instead of lights, and documents were attached to the walls, just like when a protagonist in a detective movie conducts an investigation.
‘huh?’
Several documents among them shimmered, revealing their presence to Midas.
‘Are these materials related to quests?’
Midas immediately picked up one of the documents, then stepped under the jewel’s light and looked at the document.
The content was concise.
[A group of trolls raided Wood Village. I found ferocity and strength that I couldn’t normally see in the monsters. It seems that an unknown force has transformed the monsters.
After reading the diary-type document, Midas immediately picked up another shiny document.
[As a result of the Wood Village rangers’ investigation, it was found that something unknown was active around Wood Village.]
When he picked up the next document, Midas’ eyes narrowed.
‘Does this look like the guy I saw on the Golden Plains?’
The montage made with the witness’s statement was definitely the ‘unidentified person’ that Midas had seen in the Golden Plains.
In that state, Midas read another document.
[The situation is more serious than I thought. Wood Village may fall over time. Even if it is not captured, great damage cannot be avoided. I need a stronger power.]
Then Midas was able to draw a picture in his head.
‘When Wood Village was threatened, Natarsa needed stronger power, and in the process, she got drunk with the power of a nameless god.’
NPC Natarsa how his story went.
‘From another perspective, it could be said that the unknown person intentionally corrupted Natarsa.’
And what is the key that Midas should pick up in this story?
‘No matter what, he must be the final boss of this game or something like that.’
At that point, Midas picked up the last shiny page.
[I saved the thunderbird to find the power of the nameless god. The bird will thunder in the place where the power of the nameless god resides.]
At that moment, a notification was heard in Midas’ ears.
[The quest has been completed.]
Wow! couw!
With that notification, Thunderbird, the thunder bird, conveyed his presence to Midas with a cry, and Midas smiled at that fact.
“You are my new partner.”
‘The detector is in hand.’
Smile towards your new partner.
Midas, who was examining his new partner closely, tilted his head and then approached Thunderbird closely.
“My strength stat is 500…. ?”
Eventually, Midas, who confirmed Thunderbird’s abilities, said with surprised eyes.
“Why are you so tall?”
The moment you get a new partner.
coo-ooh!
At that moment, Thunderbird let out a sound of thunder, and at the same time, a notification was heard in Midas’ ears.
[A new quest has been created in the main scenario quest list.]
And the quest window appeared.
[Upcoming threat]
– Quest grade: Main scenario
– Quest level: Level 115 or higher
– Quest content: Thunderbird Thunderbird warned of a threat. Go find NPC Asara
– Quest reward: None
