Midas, who confirmed Gold’s question mark and even the information, scratched his head lightly.
A look of distress was evident on Midas’ face as he scratched his head.
It wasn’t that I didn’t welcome this situation.
‘It’s an opportunity to improve your skills.’
Far from being unwelcome, Midas was delighted with this fact itself.
The question mark floating above their heads right now was an element that might fill the 2 percent that Midas lacked.
That was the reason for concern.
‘Depending on the skill… … Maybe I’ll be able to play solo in the next hunting ground.’
It was very important to be able to play solo in Red Mountain, which Midas would now use as his hunting ground.
Depending on whether or not, the first number of remuneration that Rising Star Channel can negotiate with advertisers will change.
‘It might not work, but.’
The problem was that it was a possibility, but it wasn’t certain yet.
Of course, that wasn’t something to worry about.
Once the quest is finished, the problem is to check Lucky and Gold’s new skills.
‘What do you say to the Rising Star Channel?’
What Midas is thinking about is how to explain this situation to the Rising Star channel? It was a part.
Currently, Midas has sent a signal to the Rising Star channel to stop negotiations with advertisers as it has been upgraded.
However, there was another opportunity to improve the spec.
‘I can’t help it. Circumstances have changed, so I have no choice but to wait a little longer.’
Eventually, Midas, who decided on the answer to send to the Rising Star channel after thinking about it, solved the problem.
Now he has a more resolute expression on his face.
With that expression on, he bowed in front of Lucky and Gold.
“Lucky and Gold, please save me.”
Midas, after bowing more strictly and seriously than before, stood up and said,
“Now, let’s go to the main scenario.”
2.
Tower of Asara.
The atmosphere of the place where Midas visited, now holding a new weapon, was completely different from the first time he visited.
heavy atmosphere.
It was after holding onto the tree trunk and going upstairs to face the NPC Asara that Midas grasped the clear identity of the atmosphere.
“Meet the Guardian.”
Unlike usual, the appearance of the NPC Asara, carrying a quiver full of arrows on her back, told me.
‘They’re preparing for war.’
The identity of this heavy atmosphere is none other than warfare.
“I have something to tell you, Guardian.”
NPC Asara spoke more clearly about Midas’ feelings.
“As a result of investigation and discussion based on what the guardian said, Wood Village accepted what happened as an attack on Wood Village and decided to respond.”
We will now respond to the invasion of foreign enemies!
The will to literally go to war.
‘Well, my role is to find people or find clues.’
Of course, there was no way to ask Midas for that war.
“Before that, I need someone’s help to figure out the maze more clearly.”
It was as expected.
“Please visit the manager of Leitling’s underground labyrinth.”
[A new quest has been created in the Main Scenario Quest section.
With those words, a quest window appeared in front of Midas’ eyes.
[Asara’s request]
– Quest level: Main scenario
– Quest level: 125 or higher
– Quest content: Find the clue to Leitling in the Red Mountain!
– Quest Reward: None
! Upon completion of the quest, ‘Choi’s Request’ can proceed
.
‘Why is a guy named Choi appearing again when I’m looking for Leitling?’
Something made me think that this quest would not be easy.
‘Couldn’t it be that a child named Leitling is missing and to find such a person, we have to go find a guy named Choi, or something?’
“Where can I find that Leitling?”
NPC Asara said in response to Midas’ doubts.
“I do not know.”
“I don’t know?”
“After the news that he went to Red Mountain, no further news came.”
You have such a good feeling!
“Ah, then you must go to Red Mountain and dig through the clues from the very bottom. Grabbing passers-by without any clues and asking questions one by one.”
Midas spoke as if expressing dissatisfaction with that fact, and NPC Asara nodded and said,
“Yes, I will send it right away if you want.”
At that, Midas laughed.
‘Anyway, to evolve Lucky, I need a quest, and it would be better to do it in Red Mountain.’
Midas, who finished the calculations in the midst of laughter, opened his mouth.
“Yes please.”
It was the moment when Midas stepped onto a new stage.
3.
Red Mountain.
A stage for players graduating from Wood Village, players in the late 130s or those who have reached level 140.
On such a stage, there was one fact that players needed to know.
“There is a tribe of Red Goblins beyond the walls, just kill them.”
Climb over the castle wall and defeat the Red Goblin!
In addition, the red mountain hunting ground did not have geographical characteristics unlike the hunting grounds experienced by players.
“That’s it. There is nothing difficult. It’s just a very simple hit-and-run fight.”
It wasn’t full of darkness like a night forest or constantly changing its shape like a forest of mirages.
All you have to do is to defeat the Red Goblins that constantly appear on the stage of Red Mountain.
There was one thing the players had to keep in mind.
“Of course, the problem is that the number of monsters you have to simply hit can reach three digits.”
Having to deal with more monsters than any other hunting ground I’ve ever encountered.
“Ah, I’m not going straight to Red Mountain. It starts at the castle wall. Activities also take place on the walls.”
The new starting stage for the players who made the Red Mountain their hunting ground was the Great Wall, a huge fortress facing the Red Mountain.
All of the players’ activities took place on the walls of the Great Wall.
An expression that makes you think it would be complicated just by listening to it.
“There is no big problem. The walls are huge.”
However, the top of the Great Wall’s walls, which were wider than 10 lanes round trip, did not become crowded unless there was something special going on.
In other words, it wasn’t that there wasn’t a lot of time to get busy.
For example, if there is a celebrity you can recognize just by hearing their name, it’s only natural that it gets complicated.
His appearance was like that.
“oh my god!”
“Look over there!”
The moment Midas appeared, the walls of the vast Great Wall were bound to become crowded.
‘Whoops! This guy’s popularity.’
Midas shrugged his shoulders at the sound, as if he had gotten used to it by now.
“BJ Lucky!”
“It’s BJ Gold!”
“There is even a jackpot!”
The players rushed to watch the three animals next to Midas shrugging his shoulders.
Some of them did find BJ Grand Mage.
“Where is BJ Grand Mage?”
“Doesn’t the fact that Lucky and Gold exist mean that there is a BJ great mage?”
“Could this be BJ Grand Mage?”
This was the case with those who couldn’t find the BJ Grand Mage who appeared with the other players at a glance.
A group of people began to appear while Midas was making a sullen expression.
“Do not block the passage of the wall!”
NPCs clad in ironclad spat out warnings at the crowd of players.
This was a feature of the Great Wall.
In places like Wood Village where the space is wide, people could just avoid it, but the Great Wall was different.
No matter how wide the width is, if people are crowded, it can cause a big obstacle to traffic.
That’s why NPCs stepped up to warn them whenever they saw such a sign.
“It’s just a warning for now, but next time I’ll show my skills!”
Forces were also used when necessary.
It was a natural action.
If some group with bad intentions could block the road and run a toll business, wouldn’t it?
For that reason, NPCs often intervened in the player’s action radius in Great Wall.
“Oh shit.”
“You can’t even take a selfie here.”
In any case, the players who had flocked to the appearance of the NPCs began to move one by one, and Midas smiled at the sight and said,
“sorry. I’ll let you take a selfie later!”
‘Image management is essential.’
Lucky shouted as if agreeing with the words.
king!
“Lucky says it too. I’ll take a picture next time.”
couw!
“They ask us to look forward to the jackpot. Gold, tell me too.”
“Don’t bother your master!”
huh?
“Please give me the name of the master. With this dagger that the master gave me to cut the heads of those who annoy the master… ….
“Haha Gold Shhh. Shh!”
At Gold’s words, Midas turned his head with an awkward smile.
Then, beyond the lofty walls, he saw an even greater red mountain.
‘ah.’
And at the beginning of the red mountain, I saw a pillar of light rising.
It was the moment when Midas’ next destination was decided.
4.
God Wars has always shown a scale beyond what players can imagine.
Red Mountain was the same.
Just looking at it, the height is far away!
Among them, the most overwhelming was the top of the mountain.
As if someone had cut the mountain, there was a straight plain at the top of the mountain.
The size of the plain was too wide.
There was a fierce war going on between groups on the Red Mountain.
Moreover, the battle was different from the battles hitherto.
Red Goblin Tribe They are on a different level from the goblins that players first encountered in the starting town.
kid!
“The goblins shoot arrows!”
Among the Red Goblins, there were archers who boasted excellent accuracy.
kid!
“It’s a goblin raid!”
And there were goblin storm troopers mounted on ferocious boars.
“That guy! The one in the middle over there is the boss!”
“Catch that first!”
Finally, there was a goblin captain who commanded them.
Players were able to experience a much fiercer battle than usual in front of a colorful offensive created by various combinations.
Of course, the outcome of that battle was different.
Players belonging to the famous guild proceeded in battle with surprising efficiency.
‘uh? Do you fight well over there?’
Among them, the party that attracted Midas’ attention was a party composed of 9 melee dealers and 5 healers.
Unlike the other parties that fought head-to-head battles with their tanks at the forefront, the party burrowed into a group of 40 or so goblins and fought within it.
way beyond common sense.
What made it possible was their skills and item settings, which were different from ordinary players.
‘Look at this?’
After confirming their identities, Midas blew a short whistle.
‘Are all the melee dealers from the Changsung Guild?’
One of the 10 largest guilds, the Creation Guild.
‘The Healer side is the Undead Guild.’
In addition, the five healers supporting the melee dealer belonged to the Undead Guild, one of the top 10 guilds.
It was not an unusual sight.
Rather, it was a common sight from now on.
‘As expected, they play with each other.’
The 10 guilds didn’t allow anyone else to approach inside their own fence they made while holding hands.
The higher the level, the worse it gets.
Once we got to the top 10 percent standard, there were no more players purely playing the game.
There are only the best players and the extras who are sacrificed so that they can enjoy the best stage.
‘Because everyone who eats eats it.’
Midas no longer paid keen attention to the scene he had seen so many times.
When I turned my head like that, I saw a completely different case this time.
“Hey you assholes! What if the tanks bounce?”
“Dealers, idiots, this happened because you guys couldn’t deal!”
“Ah, these troll cousins.”
“Yeah, the next goblin cousin.”
Even though it was quite far away, Midas held back his accusation at the evil voices he heard.
That was it.
Midas did not even turn his head towards them.
‘They seem to belong to the punitive force.’
Because here in Red Mountain, the only ones screaming so viciously were the players who were on the subjugation quest.
‘Well, subjugation is normal.’
Red Mountain was a place that required more party members than any other hunting grounds players had ever encountered.
It means that if you have been in a 3 or 4 person party, you have to play hand in hand with another party.
It was inevitable that it would take a long time to form a party.
In particular, it was very difficult to form a party in a normal way for those who were rumored to have no skills or those who had good skills but were not accepted at the party for other reasons.
At least in the game, there needs to be a way for those players to enjoy the content called Red Mountain.
Subjugation was exactly that content.
Players who received the subjugation quest through the NPC within the castle wall were randomly formed into a 40-member party according to their position, and they headed to the battlefield following the command of the NPC.
It was a party matching system.
The problem, as mentioned earlier, is that those with skills just build parties among themselves.
“This is why we shouldn’t do a fucking subjugation! Only bastards come!”
“What is it? Introduce yourself?”
Naturally, the only people who gathered were idiots.
Midas, who confirmed the scene, smiled bitterly.
‘The punitive force should never enter.’
Along with that bitter smile, he also made up his mind to never join the punitive force and hunt.
With such a wry smile, Midas’ gaze turned toward the red pillar that soon approached.
now in front of you.
Midas looked at it and erased the smile from his lips.
‘Somehow, a difficult quest will come.’
Quests with high difficulty will surely come, just like the main scenario quests.
Moreover, considering the characteristics of Red Mountain, there was a high possibility that he would not be able to play the game alone like before.
Upon reaching this fact, Midas turned his head and looked at his three companions.
‘If it’s difficult, join hands with another player this time.’
It is natural to prepare for party play.
‘And if I’m going to catch it, I’ll have to catch it with the best.’
Of course, if Midas wanted to join hands, he intended to join hands with the best or those who were aiming for it.
‘huh?’
Eventually, Midas saw it.
An NPC taking a nap in a tree.
