“Ara’s Staff?”
“Yes, this is the name of the item that the Jungwon Guild offered as a bounty to seduce the BJ Archmage this time.”
At the secretary’s words, Azmo briefly searched for his memories.
“This is the first item I have heard of. So what are the options?”
“I haven’t been able to get any definitive information. It’s a pretty powerful shape though. Recently, the Jungwon guild is unofficial in the land of pioneers, but it is said that it broke the new record set by the Abyss guild.”
“It means that the firepower has risen sharply with just one item, but seeing that that much item has finally caught my ear, it must be an item that has recently appeared in God Wars.”
After hearing the story like that, Azmo concluded that Ara’s Staff was an item that had recently appeared.
It was possible because it was Azmo, not anyone else.
It was because Azmo was one of the first people to get information about items appearing in God Wars.
So, when do you think you got it?”
I think it was about a month ago.”
Items and quest skills that have never appeared before are appearing according to BJ Grand Mage’s steps.”
“It’s a very painful game. Now is the real beginning.”
“I can’t help it. Isn’t God Wars a game like that in the first place?”
At the same time, Azmo was one of the few people who knew the origins of God Wars.
“It’s not a game made to sell in the first place, but if you want something normal, that’s weird.”
After that, Azmo changed the subject of the conversation.
“Anyway, if it’s something like that, BJ Grand Mage can’t help but be interested in it. Like it or not.”
Azmo, who changed the topic of conversation to BJ Grand Mage, said with a smile.
“So you must have accepted the information transaction. At this rate, it wouldn’t be easy to escape the trap set by the midfield guild.
“According to what we currently understand, it seems that they have not left the stage tree forest.”
“Of course it is. If you want to fight the midfield guild, you won’t be able to do it with a lot of preparation.”
“Then I will request information right away. What information are you asking for?”
“Well then, we need to find out who knows the identity of the ring and its location.”
In response, the secretary nodded.
At that time, the secretary seemed to remember something.
“Shall we also ask for information related to Ara’s wand?”
Azmo smiled at the suggestion.
There’s no way the BJ Grand Mage, who is the person involved, doesn’t know the information we got, right?”

“My name is Clare.”
‘Yes, Clara, a disciple of Ara.’
Midas’ expression after hearing NPC Clara’s self-introduction was not very good.
‘I don’t know who Ara is.’
It honestly couldn’t be better.
‘It took 11 minutes and 33 seconds to deal with a group of people.’
Isn’t it hard for a student to feel good when he accepts the next test paper right away when the report card he received right away is not good?
In such a situation, it was not easy to pay attention to the history of the new NPC.
“How the hell did you get here?”
“I have come to investigate the events taking place here. Are you a survivor?”
“If you say you’re a survivor, you can say you’re a survivor.”
It was an ambiguous answer, but this time, Midas didn’t put much meaning into it.
Midas was just preparing.
“Rather than that, you came here to investigate?”
“yes.
“Could you please listen to my request?”
“Please?”
Now get ready to accept the quest that you have no choice but to accept even if you don’t want to.
“I will make a case.”
Along with the horse, I took out a small booklet from the poncho that NPC Clara was wearing.
Legendary Master Skillbook.
NPC Clara immediately handed it to Midas and said.
“Please. There are places you must visit.”
Upon receiving it, Midas let out a short sigh.
‘No matter how many points I give up, I have to do my best until I get off the mound.’
You can’t sit down in this seat just because the situation isn’t good.
‘It’s not yet time to give up.’
Midas infused himself with courage and confidence.
“How can I help you?”
As soon as he answered, a notification was heard in Midas’ ears along with NPC Clara’s voice.
“There is the dwelling place of my dear one.”
[A new quest has been updated in the main scenario quest list.]
Then, the quest window appeared sequentially.
[Survivor]
– Quest level: Main scenario
– Quest level: 229 or lower
– Quest content: Guide Clara to the place he wants. There are a lot of black hyenas on the way, so be careful. If Clara dies, the quest will fail.
– Quest Reward: Unknown
!Quest Reward: A Sorcerer’s Memento and Title
!The Guide to Clara Title Reward: Rune (Intelligence and Magic +33)
!After completing the quest, you can proceed with the ‘A Sorcerer’s Memento’ quest
! If it fails, you can proceed with the ‘Investigation Complete’ quest.
After confirming the contents, Midas’ face hardened.
‘for a moment.’
At this moment, there was only one thing that caught Midas’ eyes.
‘failure?’
If the NPC Clara dies, the quest will fail.
Of course, failing doesn’t mean the quest itself ends, but there were new options following failure.
However, the fact that there was a failure itself was a great shock to Midas.
‘I can’t fail.’
In any case, from Midas’ point of view, the word failure was an unacceptable word.
‘No, but how… … .’
The problem was that Midas was not that great on this stage.
In a situation where it is difficult to take care of one’s own body, taking the NPC Clara with you?
At that point, Midas secretly looked at the NPC Clara.
NPC Clara’s HP and abilities were only at the level of a level 50 wizard in terms of players.
‘If I get bitten a couple of times, I’ll die.’
That NPC Clara must be protected from the group of black hyenas.
All sorts of ways began to pop into Midas’s mind.
Should we gather together and move while protecting the NPC Clara while besieging it?
Or will someone just quickly run away with the NPC Clara?
‘Can’t I catch the jackpot and fly?’
By the time Midas had a way to fly high into the sky using the jackpot.
‘No, wait.’
Midas turned and looked around.
Then, he saw a pillar of red light intensely revealing his presence.
‘Isn’t that just a matter of getting there?’
Midas, who was looking at the destination, turned his head and looked at the NPC Clara and said.
“Miss Clare.”
“yes.
“There is no such thing as a time limit, right?”
6.
The sight of 300 black hyenas congregating in one place was like a scene from National Geographic.
A mysterious sight.
In addition, it was a sight that players could not easily see.
The hyenas seen by most players only recognized them as enemies and attacked them.
That’s how hyena’s cognitive range was wide.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that ordinary players were already caught the moment they visually confirmed its existence.
Midas’s party was passing quietly between such a group, without any encounter or battle.
In fact, even Midas could not see the peaceful sight of that black hyena.
All he can see is their information.
In other words, this was something only Midas could do.
‘I’m really glad I have these eyes.’
What is it that you can go through a group of black hyenas and head to your destination without fighting a single battle?
‘If I had just taken the normal route, I would have gone to the goal rather than the destination.’
Of course, NPC Glara had no way to know about Midas’ abilities.
“Not here. The destination is over there.”
Midas shouted inwardly at the NPC Clara, who pointed in the opposite direction towards Midas, who was going around the group to avoid the group of black hyenas.
‘If I twist it, you’ll go!’
I literally did it on my own.
‘It would be a big deal if I really left after saying this.’
Wouldn’t it be necessary for you to vent your feelings out and verify whether or not something unfortunate happened?
“I feel a bad vibe over there.”
“yes?
“Oh, there is such a thing.”
Midas, who had vaguely glossed over his abilities, took another step forward.
NPC Clara spoke again to Midas.
“Not this way. It is over there.”
At that, Midas’ expression crumpled.
In fact, NPC Clara’s actions weren’t bad.
It is impossible to find something in this vast land without the guidance of NPC Glara.
In a sense, it was a grateful and kind thing to tell me the destination again and again.
Only the case of Midas is special.
Knowing that fact, Midas also endured it.
‘Just try it, it’s not a big deal.’
While imagining the reward for this quest.
‘What’s the reward?’
Naturally, the thoughts in Midas’ head changed to predicting the reward for this quest.
‘Since he said he was Ara’s disciple, it must be an item related to him… … .’
The given clue is the name Ara.
‘I don’t know who Ara is… … .’
In Midas’ head, there was no such information.
‘I hope it’s like Natarsa’s case. Come to think of it, Natarsa was a very grateful being. The items obtained at that time are being used by extracting abilities.’
Therefore, Midas’ guess soon turned into earnest prayer.
Midas arrived at his destination when he was close to how he was going to be after his brother’s surgery went well after such mishaps.
“I see!”
In front of the wall of the huge canyon, NPC Clara smiled broadly and said.
A sight that usually makes you tilt your head.
But Midas’ eyes could clearly see beyond that wall.
‘Ara’s dwelling place.’
Naturally, Midas wasn’t surprised at all when the NPC Clara disappeared beyond that wall.
“Come on guys.”
I, too, follow the NPC Clara and go inside.
After moving along the cave that appeared after a considerable distance, a wide space appeared.
There was only one thing occupying that space.
‘A feather hat?’
A feather hat worn by native Indians occupied this place in the center of the space.
‘The options are… … I can’t see it. It’s not an item, but something like a decoration?’
In front of that feather, NPC Clara knelt on the floor as it was, waving her hands and saying.
“Great Arashi, this inexperienced apprentice is finally returning to your arms.”
That was the moment.
The color started to fade from the body of the NPC Clara who spat those words.
“uh?
At the same time, the NPC Clara’s HP, visible to Midas, began to decrease rapidly.
“uh!
Of course, Midas was frightened.
If the NPC Glara dies, the quest will fail!
“Are you okay? What do you need? portion? Can I get you a potion?”
Midas, who quickly approached NPC Clara, reflexively poured the potion he had brought out for use onto NPC Clara.
It was an expensive potion with a price of over 1,000 gold per piece, but that fact did not matter now.
“Damn it, I can’t die!”
Just the thought that I have to prevent this situation somehow dominates my head.
As soon as he poured the potion, Midas checked NPC Clara’s HP, which rose rapidly and then rapidly decreased. After taking out another potion, Midas poured it on NPC Clara’s body.
However, the potion effect is only temporary.
In the end, NPC Clara’s body turned to sand and collapsed on the floor.
Seeing this, Midas bowed his head in dismay.
‘No, how can you fail like this? What did I do wrong?’
Then, suddenly, Midas’ mind recalled what he had done.
‘Could it be that the quest would fail if I came here without catching the black hyena? Anti-trick measures?’
Maybe it was a mistake that he came without a fight.
‘No, then let me specify! Catch some! What’s the difference between telling the lucky person to avoid the quest to just fail?’
“Anyway, you trash gay…. .
That was the moment.
The moment Midas was about to vent his anger out loud.
“thank you.”
“Uhhhhh!”
Midas was frightened by the sudden voice and fell to the floor.
In front of Midas’ eyes, he saw the NPC Clara, who had now become a ghost.
“Ugh, it’s a ghost!”
Seeing this, Midas was surprised again, while NPC Glara lowered her head to Midas and said,
“Thanks to this, I was able to come into Master’s arms before my body and mind were contaminated.”
As if he understood the situation only after hearing the words that followed, Midas let out a sigh of relief after briefly blinking his eyes a few times.
‘Oh, it’s not a failure.’
The worst case scenario seems to have been avoided.
‘I shot a movie by myself.’
Midas, who was relieved by that fact, turned his gaze slightly as if he remembered something, and looked at his colleagues around him.
Panting.
couw?
Lucky staring at this spectacle while lying face down on the floor, and Jackpot sitting on Lucky and rubbing his beak against his wings.
“What was the master doing a moment ago?”
“He did something great.”
“also! It’s strange to see, but you’re obviously doing a great job!”
“Please remember.”
“Yes, senior! I will remember it for the rest of my life!”
And Gold and Silver, who looked at this scene more rigorously and seriously than ever before.
“Ha ha ha ha ha.”
Seeing this, Midas immediately got up from his seat with an awkward smile.
“Guys, I’m fine. all right Could I really be surprised? Smoke is smoke. Acting to be used as a broadcast video material.”
Then, Midas, who briefly made excuses to his colleagues who saw him, now looked at the NPC Clara.
“Oh, I’m so glad. I can only congratulate you for achieving what you wanted with my hard work and effort.”
NPC Glara lowered her head and said at Midas’ more than usual attitude.
“Yes, thank you again to my benefactor who guided me to this place.”
[The quest has been completed.]
[The title of the guide to Clara has been achieved.]
The NPC Clara continued talking in the notification that was heard.
“The only thing I can give to my benefactor is the memento left by Master. So please accept this.”
The moment he finished speaking, the feather hat that occupied this place began to glow.
[A new quest has been created in the main scenario quest list.]
A notification announcing a new beginning was also heard.
“As expected. Huhu, I knew it would be like this.”
At that notification, Midas looked more relaxed than ever before and turned his head to check the feather hat.
It was there.
“I expected everything…. omg!”
‘Why is this an option?’
The thing that Midas was able to do was to delay.
