Chapter 209. < Episode 67. Hard sell (2). >
6.
Often.
When something that started for an insignificant reason does not go away strangely easily and spreads widely.
– It’s possible if you’re a BJ master mage!
ㄴ I can’t stop the BJ grand mage. does that make sense?
The controversy over the BJ Grand Mage was also like that.
To be honest, it wasn’t even a big deal.
It wasn’t that BJ the great mage directly caused the controversy, but that the controversy started when those who had him as gossip talked about each other.
In normal times, it would be moderately hot, but when a new issue came up, it would have disappeared as if it were hidden in the wind.
However, the number is hotter than people think.
Of course, there are no fires that burn for no reason. There were those who poured oil on the number.
– He said that he might not know how to catch Hurricane Man, but it would be impossible to crush him.
ㄴ Yes, Fireman said it would be possible.
ㄴ Because Hurricane Man is higher level?
ㄴ Yes, except for the next guild, the person who is a corpse.
Among the famous players representing God Wars, the famous mage players gave their opinions to the debate, and the controversy continued. And in such a situation, someone who drops bombs instead of oil appeared.
– You mean my opinion? I think if you are a BJ great mage, you can do it.
Great Mage Merlin.
Said to be the best of the wizards of God Wars, he participated in the debate.
Of course, I didn’t participate in the debate in earnest.
– There is no evidence. But until now, BJ Grand Mage has always done what no one else has done. More than anything, I’d like to see him play solo, since we may not see him play solo anymore from the frontier lands.
If I had to use an analogy, it was a story close to a virtue, in which a sports star who has already become the best in the world spits out hopeful words as a veteran to a newcomer who is just coming up.
However, the fact that it was Merlin who spit it out made those who were not even interested cling to it.
It really didn’t stick at all.
– Oh my God Merlin said that?
– I evaluated it to that level, but of course I will do it!
– BJ Grand Mage is solo until he dies!
Now, from the standpoint of the BJ great mage, whether it be porridge or rice, you have to try.
“Looks like you did something wrong.”
“Isn’t it a good atmosphere to say it’s nothing?”
Of course, Merlin made such a statement to create such an atmosphere.
“Isn’t it an atmosphere where there’s no way a guy who has been playing solo up until now, with just one ego, can play party flames in this atmosphere?”
An attempt to make BJ Grand Mage overdo it even if he doesn’t want to.
“I can do it, but I don’t have to.”
More than anything, Merlin just thought that this situation itself was meaningless to BJ Archmage.
“After all, in the land of pioneers, you will have to save party members. No, I should have saved it already.”
After all, this will be my last solo flame.
For that reason, Merlin had no deep interest in that part.
“Well, that’s not our concern.”
In the first place, the reason why I had a seat with Emma was not because of the story about BJ Grand Mage.
“How did the main scenario quest go?”
What I want to talk about is the main scenario quest where I finally got a clue.
“The Explorers Guild is figuring it out, but it’s not as easy as I thought.”
“Isn’t it easy?”
“Overall. It’s not easy to find the goblin shaman’s secret hideout in the starting town right now. So far, only three have been found.”
“Three places? Didn’t the Explorers Guild say they investigated before contacting us? Aren’t you hiding it?”
“Even if you hide it, it’s not a lot. The bigger problem is… … I haven’t been able to find the next one yet. I don’t even know who he is.”
Merlin let out a long sigh at Emma’s story.
It seemed that everything would be solved in an instant if I found it, but it turned out that was not the case.
“I need to prepare quickly before the competition comes along.”
Moreover, in a situation where it is questionable how long information leakage can be prevented, wasting time is something to avoid above all else.
It was then.
Emma, who was having a conversation, turned her gaze to my smartphone, not Merlin, and soon put on a firm expression.
“Seeing that expression, something bad must have happened. A very bad thing.”
To that question, Emma said without hiding her firm expression.
“The Explorers Guild received an offer from the Rising Star Channel. Do you have any thoughts of buying main scenario quest starting information?”
Selling the starting point information to the explorer guild that found the current starting point.
……If you want to proceed with the main scenario quest easily, you are asking to pay for silence.”
It was practically a hard sell.
“What are the conditions?”
“Patou’s dagger.”
“Patou’s dagger isn’t a bad item, but… … It’s not an urgent item for BJ Grand Mage right now.”
Merlin’s doubts were confirmed when he heard the conditions that followed.
If they pick up an item in their safe and ask for something that is not particularly valuable to them, the intention is bound to be obvious.
At this point, Emma and Merlin’s thoughts were one.
“I must make a deal. No, it’s more like paying for silence rather than a deal.”
If you refuse here, the situation will be very difficult if the information is passed on to someone else.
Isn’t it a situation where you checked the quest difficulty in particular?
It is for this reason that the expression strong sale was used.
There was only one problem.
‘You may make a deal and sell the information to others.’
The part that the other party can trust.
Under normal circumstances, Emma would not have reacted, let alone trusted, in such a situation.
‘But if that was the case, I would have sold the information to someone else in the first place. Taking action after we discover… … He said he didn’t want any more competition than this. As proof of that, Azmo hasn’t been able to do anything like this until now.’
Still, what made her move was what existed at the end of it all.
‘I know what the end of this game is, but there’s no way I can choose to increase the number of competitors.’
Merlin was the same.
“Let’s just give it away. Making such an offer means that the other side doesn’t want to spread information either. There is no need to overturn the plate here, right?”
that word.
“Giving Patou’s dagger doesn’t mean that BJ Grand Mage’s strength will change significantly.”
With those words, Emma concluded.
“I do.”
7.
[The ringed monkey has been killed.]
The moment he heard the notification, Midas raised his head.
‘There are 10 left.’
Then what caught my eye were 10 ringed monkeys gathered in one place.
kid!
kid!
A roar of rage erupted from the mouths of the ringed monkeys, each one proud of their size.
It was a common sight so far.
thud!
However, it was not a one-sided sight to see the ringed monkeys full of anger collide and fall.
Monsters bumping into each other and colliding could not happen without debuff magic like chaos.
However, confusion magic was a magic that could only be acquired after level 200.
In other words, it wasn’t magic that created the scene right in front of me.
“I’ll show you the spiciness of your little peppers!”
The cause is none other than gold!
kid!
Gold, who had become a tiny 70cm tall, stirred under the feet of the ringed monkeys, making them confused.
‘Exceeding expectations.’
The reason Midas was confident after seeing Gold’s miniaturization skill was because of me.
‘It’s still like this, but the bigger the opponent’s monster, the greater the effect.’
A small and agile dog cannot easily be caught even if dozens of people rush at it without tools.
Even if they came close, there was no way to catch them passing under their feet or even between their crotches.
This wasn’t all.
Fuck!
[The ringed monkey has been eliminated.]
What’s even more amazing is that gold’s attack power and movement are 80% higher than before using the skill, even in its small size.
Although the specs were reduced, it was not a loss compared to the merits gained.
‘Aggro and dealing are possible at the same time.’
Thanks to that, Gold was currently showing a lot of aggro, but the damage dealing was more explosive.
‘With this, skillfully clear up to 90 animals.’
It was the secret to being able to fight one-sided battles against 90 ringed monkeys without difficulty.
‘I need a lighter weapon than the Black Claymore.’
In Midas’ view, Gold’s only problem was the weapon called the Black Claymore.
The black claymore was by no means a bad weapon.
However, the greatest strength of gold, which has been reduced through miniaturization, is that it is good at hitting and falling, and considering that part, a smaller weapon was better than a black claymore.
In fact, the sword also became smaller as it was miniaturized, but it was interfering with Gold’s progress.
‘Something like a dagger.’
Even if the damage is reduced, a dagger that can save more mobility would be more useful.
‘There’s nothing useful about it.’
Of course, none of the dagger weapons that Midas had in mind were so useful.
‘If I give something, I should write it as thanks.’
There was also no choice.
Midas just needs to thank Rising Star Channel for finding something good to write
. [The Ringed Monkey has been eliminated.]
[All the monsters on the stage tree have been dealt with.]
While Midas was looking at and analyzing the situation, he announced that the battle was over. notification was heard.
[Your level has risen.]
[You have reached level 170.]
[The dragon only for war gives you a new chance.]
And now, a notification was heard telling you that it was time to go up one more level.
At that fact, Midas let out a long sigh.
‘Now I can live up to this.’
A magic appeared in Midas’ mind.
‘Summon Gargoyle.’
Level 170 Legendary Grade Skill Gargoyle Summon!
Like Lucky’s death penalty, it was a skill that was evaluated as the best way to earn time with magic that attracted the aggro of normal monsters and made them attack themselves.
A skill that will be of great help in Midas’ current situation.
‘You can buy it even if it doesn’t come out of the reward card.’
Of course, it was a skill that had to be secured no matter how much it cost, so Midas had fewer worries.
‘If you rob the rest of the money… … .’
Of course, it wasn’t that I didn’t worry about it, but it didn’t mean that I didn’t have a stomach ache.
king!
Lucky approached Midas as he prayed.
As always, a dignified yet cute appearance.
“master!”
And now, with a small figure, Gold, who has a cuteness that he did not have before, also came.
couw!
As if the jackpot had finally arrived, Midas turned his head.
[Do you want to use the opportunity?]
“Yes.
And as soon as he spat out his answer, 100 cards splendidly appeared in front of Midas’ eyes.
But Midas didn’t see it right away.
I prayed with my eyes closed.
‘Please please just come out.’
The moment Midas opened his eyes after completing the prayer, a golden light greeted him.
And the moment he confirmed the golden light, Midas raised both hands above his head and shouted.
“It’s out!”
Summon Gargoyles!
The moment when what you want appears.
At that moment, Midas looked at the group of ringed monkeys and smiled.
“It’s okay. Now, about 100 of them are chewing gum! Let’s just chew it up!”
Full of confidence now.
In that confidence, Midas looked at Gold and said.
“Nothing to go too far. Right away, the moment the boss gives me items, it’s a live broadcast of 100 kills!”
Naturally, Midas expected.
“I can’t wait to see what items the boss will bring me.”
8.
“Patou’s dagger confirmed.”
The Rising Star channel employee, who was looking at his monitor while spitting out words, had a dumbfounded expression on his face.
‘Patou’s dagger? This kind of thing comes so easily?’
If it’s Patou’s dagger, it’s an item that doesn’t even come up on G-Bay in the first place!
Because of this, the subordinate did not believe it when he heard Park Young-joon’s words to prepare to receive the item.
“Okay, I checked.”
Of course, Park Young-jun thought differently.
‘It’s a waste to receive this with that information.’
Patu’s dagger is a great item, but the trade item this time is information to start the main scenario quest!
“Then send it.”
“Send?”
“I have to send it to BJ Grand Mage.”
“ah…. But is this useful for the BJ Archmage?”
Above all, it was not an item that had a high utility value for the BJ great mage’s fighting style.
“It’s not a bad item, but there aren’t many things to use except for boss fights, right?”
“That’s true. It’s meaningful when you stab it.”
Pato’s dagger puts a curse on the target!
However, it was impossible with common sense to stab one by one against dozens of monsters.
“Still, I can catch the boss easily, so there’s nothing I refuse.”
Of course, even considering that, it was a very good item.
‘Because symbolism is more important.’
Above all, the meaning of this item was that the other party succumbed to BJ’s threat.
Proof that the being at the antipode of BJ Grand Mage is willing to play the game according to the rules suggested by BJ Grand Mage.
It was like BJ Grand Mage forced the other person to sit on the board he had made.
‘Let’s have fun again.’
It was more than anything else a joy for Park Young-joon, who sat on the plate in place of BJ Grand Mage.
“Then send it quickly.”
“Sent right away.”
Park Young-joon smiled after confirming the words of his subordinate and the contents displayed on the monitor.
‘The BJ Great Mage would be delighted.’
