Chapter 339. < Episode 106. Losing business (3). >
7.
One of the biggest charms of the new continent is that there are still many unknown areas that players have not reached.
It was the same with the mountains beyond the primeval forest seen after entering through the coast of the new continent.
“that? An insurmountable mountain?”
“You can’t get over it?”
“huh. If you pass by to cross a mountain, you will return to the original place without knowing it.”
The so-called insurmountable mountain.
“Then you should try one more time. What have you all been doing? huh?”
Of course, usually when there is a story like that, it’s the nature of players to rush in to overcome it somehow, and there were actually many cases like that.
Even if it was the spirit’s cave right now, there were people who went down the cave with their bare hands, as well as those who knew they would die but explored the forest of mist around them.
What did you do? Live broadcast and level up.
However, there were too many things more important than that to the players in the new continent right now.
“Isn’t it? What is their ransom, so they risk their lives to explore?”
And the ransom was too expensive.
To the point where I couldn’t pass over the fact that I was game over just for a snack.
“If you turn on the broadcast at that time, you can buy a soup restaurant.”
In addition, it was enough to make a lot of money by doing a live broadcast at that time.
In any case, for that reason, the insurmountable mountain had been neglected as an inviolable zone.
As much as it was neglected, the monsters also infested it.
It was in such a place that Midas set foot.
“There are too many monsters.”
Of course, having a lot of monsters was not a problem.
king!
“I will clean in front of the owner. silver! Get ready to decorate your master’s legend!
“Yes, senior.”
“Master, work hard this time.”
Reliable colleagues who received the Aegis shield skill.
“When there are a lot of monsters, thunderbolt series are the best.”
And because there was a newly joined Thunder Knight.
Dismissed!
In particular, the presence revealed by the spirit knight of thunderbolt was extraordinary.
The lightning spirit knight, which had the effect of electrocuting and stiffening nearby monsters by firing powerful lightning bolts from its entire body, was a nightmare for monsters from the beginning of its existence.
“With overwhelming power!”
Above all, when the battle started in earnest, the lightning attack emitted from both hands was powerful.
Pitch Pitch!
At the same time, the attack even had the effect of chain-electrocuting the target like chain lightning magic.
This was the reason why the spirit knight of lightning was rated as the highest tier among all spirit knights.
It was like that even now.
Whoa!
Pachycephalosaurus, a dinosaur with a shiny head like a bald head.
When 20 pachycephalosauruses, nicknamed headbutt dinosaurs, rushed in at the same time, the lightning spirit knight did not avoid the attack.
As I said earlier, the basic attack of the Thunder Spirit Knight had the effects of electrocution and paralysis.
Like that, the lightning spirit knight looked straight at the approaching Pachycephalosaurus and threw the lightning he was holding in both hands.
Jigsaw Jigsaw!
And the thunderbolt that flew away electrocuted one pachycephalosaurus, and starting with that, it electrocuted the surrounding pachycephalosaurus in a chain.
kkot!
The bodies of Pachycephalosaurus, who were running towards the attack, stiffened, and the moment they stiffened, they fell to the ground without being able to control their speed.
Of course, the fall wasn’t a big blow.
K-King!
“I’ll give you two of your bare heads!”
The problem was that Lucky and Gold and Silver couldn’t miss the moment they fell and the time they spend helplessly shaking their bodies while falling.
Lucky drew his teeth, Gold grabbed a knife, and Silver attacked the fallen dinosaurs indiscriminately, brandishing his huge forepaws.
“Chain Lightning and Shock Wave and Thunderstorm.”
And Midas prepared a new attack on top of him.
[Casting has been completed.]
After that, the moment the casting was finished, the prepared magic was sequentially thrown toward the battlefield.
Lucky and Gold Silver’s status didn’t have to be in mind.
Paperweight!
Thanks to Aegis’ shield effect, Midas’ attack didn’t even affect them.
“Let there be a thunder god’s judgment!”
There was no need to worry even more about the effects of lightning-attribute attacks on the lightning elemental knights.
kkot!
Only the dinosaurs let out a pitiful scream and spent their time in a rigid state.
K-King!
The time when their lives are burning.
[The Pachycephalosaurus has been killed.]
[The level has risen.]
After the battle, Midas looked around the battlefield full of composure.
Then, he saw dinosaurs swarming all over the place, and he licked his lips briefly while watching them.
‘That’s all a lump of experience.’
To the point where I want to kill myself here and level up.
“Concentrate on your work. Do not sell your eyes.”
But unfortunately, Midas had something else to do right now.
“Yes, yes. I know.”
With the answer, Midas held the necklace, the symbol of the Order of the Blue Lion, in his hand, and the necklace pointed in one direction.
‘Now the quest comes first.’
What I need to do right now is to do the main scenario quest.
‘Seeing that the nameless archmage is involved, there is a high possibility that it is related to an item.’
Moreover, the importance of the ongoing quest was very high.
Because of this, Midas did not have long lingering feelings.
‘Well, I’ll come back later with the survivors guild and wipe it out.’
After 4 days, you’ll be able to hunt until you get tired of it anyway.
“good. let’s go baby ah!”
Of course, Midas did not forget.
“I need to root the item and fill it with magical power. Familiar mana drain.”
‘I have to save at least a penny to match the lucky item.’
That his financial situation is not very good right now.
8.
An insurmountable mountain.
[You have entered the land of no return.]
‘It’s foggy.’
What greeted Midas the moment he crossed the mountain was a fog that fogged up his eyes.
It wasn’t a very good feeling.
“I am strong in the fog again. Isn’t that right, Gold?”
“A mist like this can’t cover the brilliance of the majesty that radiates from Master’s body!”
However, in front of Midas’ all-seeing eyes, the fog was not too troublesome.
‘It’s similar to that time.’
On the other hand, looking at this mist reminded me of the time when I obtained the materials needed to extract the ability of the frost flower item.
‘Even if you look at the feeling, it’s an item ability extraction angle. Or I’ll take the jang in my hand.’
From Midas’ point of view, of course, this time, there is no choice but to think that an opportunity to extract item abilities will come.
‘Let’s take this opportunity to graduate from the Ara series.’
Of course, if the opportunity came, the item Midas would extract was the Ara series.
An option that increases magic damage instead of slowing casting speed!
‘Nothing bad.’
It wouldn’t hurt if the option was applied permanently.
‘The problem is that if the options extracted from the abilities are the same, they won’t overlap… … .’
The only thing that bothered me was that all options were the same for Ara’s feather hat, Ara’s bronze glove, and Ara’s poncho.
Considering what God Wars has shown so far, there was no possibility of overlapping by extracting the same options.
‘If you extract one, the set option will also disappear.’
On top of that, the Ara series is a situation where you have to give up the set option because it is not possible to obtain a replacement item as a belonging item to the quest item.
‘It’s a losing business.’
It was clear that he could become stronger than he is now, and it was true that the item replacement cycle had passed a lot, but it was true that he didn’t feel like he was a surplus business.
‘Anyway, I guess I’ll have to try again.’
After all, it meant that I had to run a new temp.
In that state, Midas turned his head and looked straight ahead.
“Guys, get ready.”
Then he saw the inhabitants of the place, who had come to greet the first visitors to the land of no return.
‘Chimerasaurus?’
A dinosaur with a scientific name that has never appeared in the world.
‘chimera? Did dinosaurs even merge? uh?’
However, Midas could not afford to pay attention to that fact.
king!
“Master, let’s have a great battle today.”
“Wait a minute! Guys wait!”
Midas said, stopping Lucky and Gold, who were preparing to jump out first like 100-meter runners.
“Operation change!”
king?
“What are you doing?”
Midas explained the reason to Lucky and Gold, who questioned Midas’ order.
“They are too strong!”
9.
The most dangerous thing about hunting in a foggy forest was not knowing when and how to encounter monsters.
Moreover, when passing through a foggy forest, most of them relied on something like a compass to move.
It means that it is virtually impossible to change the route midway if you don’t like it.
The same was true of the Land of No Return quest.
In a land full of fog, the player had to move only in the direction indicated by the badge of the Blue Lion Knights.
But Midas was different.
self!
Ignoring the direction of the moving token, it was moving in the opposite direction.
couw!
Jackpot said a word to that fact.
Master, the bad bird speaks bad words to the master.”
The owner is busy, but don’t go back a long way! looks like it said.
Midas answered the words of the jackpot.
“Oh well, the kids here are too strong.”
Along with the horse, Midas turned his head in the direction indicated by the sign and saw a piece of monster information in his eyes.
The monster is a Chimerasaur.
‘Damn it, what kind of boss did you bring?’
In addition, Chimerasaur’s ability was not lacking compared to the boss level.
That was the reason Midas now circled toward his destination.
‘If you fight something like that, you won’t be able to complete the quest even after a year.’
that it bleeds too much.
‘They’re beggars who don’t even have drop items.’
On the other hand, there is no income.
‘There’s no need to do business at a loss.’
From the perspective of Midas, who could see everything beyond the fog, there was no need to suffer.
‘Damn it no matter what, what kind of quest is this?’
Of course, I couldn’t feel better.
‘I thought it was some kind of maze or a curse because it was a land of no return, but it was just a land of no return physically.’
There was only one comfort in this situation.
‘I’m glad I didn’t broadcast live.’
It was only the fact that it was not broadcast live.
‘If I did, I would have been forced to vomit blood.’
If it was on air, it wouldn’t have been possible to do Midas’s own trick like this.
“It’s trash because it’s a real game trash.”
While complaining like that, Midas carefully avoided the Chimerasaurus and moved towards the destination.
Such a move took quite a long time.
About 2 hours.
It was only after moving for a not short time that Midas was able to reach his destination.
“Who is there?”
“My name is Midas, who is under the command of the Tunga Kingdom and is investigating the traces of the Blue Lion Knights.”
“You have come a long way. They say I’m Luan, the leader of the Blue Lion Knights.”
NPC Luan, the owner of the blue lion knights badge, revealed himself from beyond the fog.
When he appeared like that, he had a shaggy beard on his tangled hair, as if he hadn’t washed it properly.
At the same time, the clothes were also cloth clothes full of dark red blood.
No matter where he looked, the knight commander was nowhere to be seen.
However, none of that was visible.
“Are you hurt?”
His right arm is missing, that’s all I can see.
“You’re not hurt here.”
“then?”
At the question, NPC Luan stopped talking and immediately closed his eyes.
In that state, he slowly opened his mouth.
“Prince Zagara has reported to the king. An unknown entity is roaming all over the continent and threatening the kingdom. After that, we began to track its existence.”
At those words, Midas thought of an unknown person in his mind.
‘He did.’
It was not difficult to grasp the circumstances at that moment.
“And I came here after figuring out that the traces of its existence had reached the New Continent…. .
“You’ve been reversed.”
Instead of answering, NPC Ruen frowned.
“All the knights except me are dead. In fact, I should have died there too.”
Anger at the fact that his comrades died but he survived.
“But I had a mission to tell this story, so I gambled. Just in case, I climbed an insurmountable mountain, and as a result, I came to this place. Waiting for someone to find me.”
Midas bowed his head at the miserable story.
“Rest in peace for the dead.”
All they need is the neck of the evil one.
It was then.
“However, with my current abilities, I can’t even get close to him, let alone cut his head.”
Along with those words, NPC Luan untied the sword from his waist and said.
“My story is over. Deliver this story to the kingdom. So you will avenge me instead.
At that suggestion, Midas did not withdraw for nothing.
“yes.
If you decline the offer here, it doesn’t mean you won’t get it in the end, right?
‘Because I have to catch him anyway.’
And it was not possible to avoid a fight with an unknown person by not accepting an offer.
“I will cherish this sword forever!”
That’s how Midas received the sword from NPC Lueon.
At the same time, I checked my abilities.

‘Huh?’
Seeing this, Midas’ expression changed.
‘Are you able to trade? real? Is it Legendary Epic?’
Legendary Epic weapons that can be traded have been released.
Also, the item options were beyond common sense.
All of the options attached to powerful attack power were like a dream for melee dealers, and among them, the blue lightning skill that temporarily paralyzes surrounding monsters by striking down blue lightning upon catching a monster is a melee dealer who fights a melee battle with many monsters in the forefront. It was a skill that was like life for them.
‘If you sell this… … I’m going to buy a house too?’
Because of this, Midas did not dare to estimate how much this item would cost.
Of course, the words I said in front of NPC Luan, “I will cherish them for the rest of my life,” have long since disappeared from my head.
Even Midas looked at Lucky and Gold and thought.
‘Wouldn’t it be beneficial to just sell this and match the temps to these guys?’
It was then.
“And this is what I found here.”
NPC Rueon handed something to Midas, who was pounding the calculator in his head and weighing the scales.
‘ah!’
Another quest reward, the Legendary Epic Skill Card Book.
Midas, who saw it, quickly accepted it and said.
“Aigoo, thank you.”
Accepting it, Midas’ waist was folded toward 180 degrees beyond 90 degrees.
‘Wait, but you found this here? Could it be that something like this is just rolling around here?’
At the same time, I had a question.
“You must be wondering where you got this.”
In response to that question, NPC Luan immediately proceeded with the next quest.
“I found an unknown archmage’s dungeon here.”
[The new quest has been updated in the Main Scenario Quest section.]
Eventually, along with a notification, a quest window appeared in front of Midas’ eyes.
[Unknown Archmage’s Dungeon]
– Quest Grade: Main scenario
– Quest Level: 319 or lower
– Quest Content: Investigate the Unknown Archmage’s Dungeon.
– Quest Reward: Unknown
! Quest Reward: Unknown Archmage’s Cube
! Upon completion of the quest, ‘synthesis’ can proceed
and the visible information was the only thing that caught Midas’ attention.
‘Synthesis? I’m sure it’s not item synthesis?’
