Chapter 306. < Episode 96. Solo return (3). >
9.
The appearance of the character was not very different from that of the player.
Wearing clothes that seemed to be made of plain cotton and a vest made of black fur animal skin, it was a typical hunter’s look that some God Wars archer-type players had.
However, not a single player saw him as a player.
It was because of the eyepatch he was wearing on his left eye.
‘It’s an NPC.’
‘It’s an NPC.’
In God Wars, which is one of the best games for those who can play games even with their eyes properly open, there weren’t any players who made one of their eyes look like an idiot with an eyepatch.
However, among the players with such a concept, there was definitely not a single player who had reached the forest of ogres.
“I am Piyoro the Ogre Hunter! There is a great hunter who caught 3333 ogres here, but who is it?”
“That’s me.”
Because of this, the moment the NPC Fiyoro finished introducing me and the moment BJ Grand Mage received that greeting, the Explorers Guild members were nervous.
‘It’s a main scenario quest.’
What you will see from now on is the progress of the main scenario quest, which cannot be obtained even with money.
‘Maybe we can learn the contents of BJ Grand Mage’s next quest… … .’
Is it really possible to see such a precious sight without BJ Grand Mage’s permission?
Isn’t the explorer’s guild a place that holds enormous wealth and power with such in-game information?
They were the ones who couldn’t dare to make excuses like ‘Oh, I didn’t know this was so important, I’m sorry’ after watching it silently.
So Nipple took the risk of being rude and interrupted the conversation.
“Shall I avoid your seat?”
“No, thanks. Doing something great.”
Then, with BJ Grand Mage’s immediate answer, Nipple’s mind became more complicated once again.
you show me this? why?
“Actually, we cleared the quest together, so we have to listen together. isn’t it?”
However, at the words that followed, Nipple was able to immediately catch BJ’s intention.
‘……I have no intention of letting go.’
BJ Grand Mage is planning to properly manage the explorers guild in the next quest.
Of course, that wasn’t Midas’ intention.
‘I got help, but it’s not polite to hide this.’
His intentions were no different from the words he had uttered.
How much help I’ve received so far, but it’s a private matter here, so I can’t say go away.
‘Anyway, the main scenario quest will be released sooner or later.’
And the moment the main scenario quest strategy video was released on the Rising Star channel, the value of the main scenario quest had to be less than it is now.
It means that it is not worth saving even if you have to be rude to the Explorers Guild here.
Anyway, when Midas gave permission, all members of the explorers guild held their breath.
After all, isn’t it a historic moment?
Aside from the money, it is an experience that is not lacking for a while as a snack at a drinking party.
“Now, let’s get to the point. Fiyoro-sama, I am the person you are looking for.”
In the midst of that attention, Midas started a conversation with NPC Fiyoro.
“So what did you come for?”
At that moment, NPC Fiyoro took off the leather fur hat he was wearing and immediately lowered his head and said.
“I need your help.”
A desperate look.
Seeing that, Midas himself approached the NPC Fiyoro with a serious expression and said.
“I don’t know what’s going on, but I’d be happy if I could be of any help.”
The atmosphere in the audience also became heavy as they looked like citizens going to rescue a child from a fire pit.
In that atmosphere, NPC Fiyoro spoke.
“Find someone.”
It was a request that seemed fairly easy for creating a spleen atmosphere.
However, instead of losing his energy, Midas said with a firmer expression on his face.
“Seeing as he dares to ask me, it seems that he is in a very dangerous place.”
“Here in the forest of ogres, there is a place that only we hunters know about. It is a place full of mysterious herbs. And it was a place where there weren’t that many ogres normally.”
“But not now.”
Seeing NPC Fiyoro nod, Midas asked a question.
“How many ogres are there?”
“that is…. There are too many to know.”
And the first to swallow a sigh at the answer that came out was none other than Nipple, who was listening to the story.
‘I’m going crazy.’
Isn’t that the only way to sort out the story I heard right now and find a person in the forest full of ogres?
Horrible thing to hear.
‘If we go in together, I’ll go crazy.’
Not to mention, going into such a place with BJ the Great Mage was not something that could be explained with the word terrible.
Because BJ Grand Mage will surely form an explorer’s guild there.
From their lips, ‘I really can’t eat it, hit it!’ until you hear a loud voice.
But on the contrary, Midas was not satisfied with that explanation.
‘There are just a lot, so find someone? There’s no way the main scenario quest will make you suck honey like this.’
The main scenario quest he knew wasn’t so easy.
“Too many? Is that all? Anything else?”
‘I can get an estimate just by looking at it.’
Because Midas expected.
“In case the ogres form a group or something.”
“How did you know?”
And the moment that prediction hit, the faces of the explorers guild members hardened.
‘Crazy does that make sense?’
‘There are overflowing ogres, but they form a group?’
‘Find someone there?’
It was the Explorers’ Guild, not anyone else, that dealt with accidents caused by groups of ogres.
Of course, the members of the Explorers Guild knew better than anyone how absurd that was.
‘Yes, this is God Wars.’
Midas, on the other hand, was not particularly surprised by that fact.
“great. Tell me where it is, and I will rescue the one who is in danger.”
He calmly accepted the quest.
“Thank you!”
[A new quest has been created in the Main Scenario Quest section.]
Immediately after that, the quest window appeared.
[Ogre Hunter]
– Quest Grade: Main scenario
– Quest Level: 279 or lower
– Quest Condition: Rescue the fallen in the secret garden at Fiyoro’s request.
– Quest Reward: Unknown
!Quest Reward: Skill Card Book (Legendary Epic)
! Additional rewards are given whenever you find an NPC during the quest
!
I was dreaming.
‘Extra reward?’
It’s because there was a question about the extra reward of the quest that was different from usual.
However, Midas solved other questions before that part.
“I will ask you one question over there. Couldn’t you go there with others?”
With that question, Midas turned his head and looked at Nipple and the Explorers Guild members behind him.
Nipple and the members of the Explorers Guild swallowed their saliva involuntarily at Midas’ gaze, which came out with a deeper smile than ever before.
‘As expected, to drag us to hell and roll us… … .’
Because I had no doubt that Midas’ intentions would be terrible.
“I’m sorry. It is the place where we hunters live. We can’t show many people carelessly. The number of people I can bring is at most five.”
five people!
At that word, those who were at the lowest level in the Explorers Guild let out a sigh of relief.
“Even that requires a certain ability. Those like you who have proven their skills through results.”
“Are you like me who caught 3333 ogres?”
“yes.”
After that, Midas asked no more questions.
‘In the first place, the quest itself is a 5-person quest that outsiders cannot get involved in.’
You can’t force the quest to change.
‘Oh, I wanted to do it together.’
Write.
Midas clicked his tongue in regret at that fact, and the Explorers Guild members were frightened by the sound.
Because it sounded like the clicking sound of a grim reaper who couldn’t drag the opponent in front of him to hell.
Then Midas looked at the nipple and said.
“Unfortunately, it seems that you cannot enter the next quest location with the Explorers Guild.”
Like really sorry.
‘thank god.’
Of course, Nipple was just happy.
‘I’m so glad.’
If it was a quest that ordinary players could participate in, he would have been included in the remaining four positions, and at the same time, he would have been given ridiculous duties and hardships.
To Nipple, who was constantly breathing a sigh of relief inside, Midas spoke with sincerity.
“This time it went like this, but next time we have a chance, let’s do our best together like this time.”
“yes?”
“Ah, we have to do it together next time. isn’t it?”
To the surprised nipple, Midas said with a mischievous smile.
The intention was nothing.
‘Let’s leave it at least for now.’
It’s better than just saying let’s break up here.
But from a listening point of view, it was different.
‘…. Shall I just say I can’t fucking eat it and beat it up?’
Nipple, because it was one of the creepiest words he’d ever heard from a customer.
“Now, I’ll finish the quest as soon as possible and see you again!”
Midas, who left such a greeting, moved along with NPC Fiyoro.
10.
After parting ways with the Explorers Guild, NPC Fiyoro took Midas to a cave in the Ogre Forest.
Afterwards, when they reached another place at the end of the cave, a new forest opened before Midas’ eyes.
“This is it.”
Unlike the lush forest of ogres, this time it was a new ogre forest that was lush with blood.
“We call this place the Secret Garden.”
[You have entered the secret garden.]
[You have achieved the title of the person who visited the secret garden.]
Soon after, the title reward window appeared with that notification.
[Visitors of the Secret Garden]
– Title Description: This title is given to those who visit the Secret Garden in the Ogre Forest.
– Title Reward: All stats +20
A hotter reward than you think.
However, in the eyes of Midas, such a reward did not come properly.
‘There are so many ogres that they really vomit.’
My eyes only turn to the information of the ogres filling the bloody forest.
There were so many.
“The ogres here are forming a herd. As if following orders from something.”
At the same time, as NPC Fiyoro said, three or four ogres were moving as a group.
A spooky place in many ways.
“Somewhere here is a colleague of mine. My colleague’s name is Seba. If you find him, I will gladly pay you.”
Finding just one NPC in such an eerie place was obviously a difficult quest.
Because of this, Midas was convinced.
‘Originally, it’s a quest about rescuing the target while running away from fighting the monster.’
That in order to properly complete this quest, the battle with the ogre should be reduced as much as possible.
If even a death sentence explodes while fighting a group of ogres, it is like a nuclear bomb exploding.
Moreover, there was a high possibility that the dying horse would explode as much as it was dealing with a group of ogres, and coping with an explosion was also incomparably more difficult than when dealing with a single entity.
‘It won’t be difficult.’
Of course, the case of Midas was different.
First of all, in his eyes, the location of the NPC he needed to find was clearly visible.
Not to mention, the ability to manage aggro is a situation where there is no one better than Midas in God Wars.
Even Midas was able to figure out in advance the existence of an ogre that would trigger a death spurt.
That was the reason.
‘Rather than that, I’m the only one in this hunting ground, so can I just hunt as I like?’
The reason Midas started drawing pictures outside the scope of common sense in his head.
Midas, who was silently analyzing the secret garden, looked elsewhere.
‘There’s one and there’s one…’ … Four NPCs. Didn’t I say I’d give you an extra reward?’
Seeing this, Midas immediately turned his head.
“Guys.”
Then, he spoke to his reliable colleagues.
“Do you like sucking honey secretly or openly sucking honey?”
Everyone immediately answered the question.
king!
“Master, of course, you should wash your clothes proudly to match your reputation!”
“Your words are correct.”
At those answers, Midas finally turned his head to look at Jackpot, who was in the thunderbird state, and Jackpot looked at Midas and said,
couw!
“The bad bird says.”
Gold immediately interpreted the answer.
“You’re telling me to take care of it.”
At those words, Midas smiled and then looked straight ahead.
‘After all, I’m going back to solo. Then I’ll have to send an email to the Rising Star channel asking for the title of the live broadcast to be a solo comeback.’
moment to go back to the past.
‘wait.’
Then Midas changed his mind for a moment.
‘Let’s go as a surprise to return as a solo artist. At first, I pretended to search secretly, then went to battle.’
Midas, who finished writing the broadcast scenario, smiled.
11.
“That’s not even funny.”
After speaking, Merlin shook his head and put the tablet PC he was holding in his hand on the floor.
Then he shook his head once more and said.
“At this point, I’m rather curious. What is your venture?”
Emma answered the question that followed.
“Since the damage to the image I gained this time is great, I sent an invoice asking for compensation.”
“That person always pays with money.”
“It’s better than complicatedly asking for something else.”
“So how do you see this day?”
Emma immediately answered the question that followed.
“It is quite successful.”
An answer that is hard to understand considering how the Explorers Guild was dragged around and ridiculed to the point of despair by the BJ Archmage.
But Emma was sure of the answer.
“It’s not that there is no income.”
And Merlin agreed with that answer.
It was nothing strange.
“After all, BJ Grand Mage leveled up faster than expected.”
In the first place, what Emma and Merlin intended was for BJ Grand Mage to level up quickly despite not wanting to.
Instead of avoiding the proposal, BJ Archmage set fire to it, and it became a race like a chicken race, which damaged the image of the Explorers Guild, but in any case, as a result, BJ Archmage was leveling up very quickly.
Considering the meaning of the level in the main scenario quest, it must have been bleeding.
It was a huge change compared to the time when there was only one-sided consumption and no income.
“There’s nothing wrong with going to a bloody competition.”
So Emma had no intention of avoiding this competition.
“If you want a chicken race, you can run it with pleasure. So, Merlin, you have to do one thing.”
“what?”
“Did you know that BJ Grand Mage gave us the information for the next quest this time?”
Merlin nodded.
“I know. I was trying to form an explorer’s guild, but I accidentally gave away the information.”
BJ Grand Mage showed the quest process to the Explorers Guild, and the Abyss Guild saw that the reason was to pass the Explorers Guild through the process of conquering the next quest.
However, no matter how much BJ Grand Mage is, there is no way to know that the next quest can only be performed by players who are in the process of completing the main scenario quest.
As a result, only information was leaked.
At least that’s how the Abyss Guild judged it.
“With a party of 5 or less, we are looking for a specific NPC in a forest full of ogres.”
“What do you think of the quest strategy?”
“It’s a quest that requires you to think, sleep, and explore while refraining from combat as much as possible no matter who sees it. Aren’t all the elements arranged to avoid fighting?”
Only then did Merlin nod, as if realizing Emma’s intentions.
“Fire properly from this side so that BJ Archmage doesn’t do that, that’s it. But how about negotiating in advance?”
“If you negotiate in advance, BJ Grand Mage will definitely accept it. And I will find a way to deal with it. Just like it always has been.”
“then?”
“The moment he broadcasts live, we should try provoking him through the sponsored chat.”
“You need that kind of firewood for a provocation. What do you do with firewood?”
“I heard Jackpot got a new human mode?”
“The position is healer.”
“Then you wouldn’t need a new item?”
Merlin nodded at the question.
“Then, the Orb of Naia, a Legendary grade item, would be good.”
Nia’s Orb.
A Legendary grade weapon item that can be obtained from Ogre Forest.
Of course, it was a guy who was traded at a very high price at the G-Bay auction house.
“Would that work?”
But Emma refuted the suggestion.
“If it is something that can be obtained with money, BJ Grand Mage will answer like this. I can buy it, or Azmo will say, I can use a hundred of them.”
What money can buy is meaningless.
“then?”
“The Orb of Aegis will tell you how to get it.”
At that moment, Merlin let out a short sigh before speaking.
“You bet really right.”
“Yes, it is.”
Emma, who was talking, immediately smiled and said.
“It’s a bet that BJ Grand Mage has no choice but to force a splendid solo comeback.”
And just in time, a notification came.
“Rising Star Channel announced the live broadcast schedule of BJ Grand Mage tomorrow.”
A notification alerts you that it is time to place a bet.
