Chapter 300. < Episode 94. Royal Elixir (3). >
8.
Heba, the last oasis in the desert.
Crossing the desert, which leads to countless hardships and sufferings, the final destination of the crossing was a splendid place.
In the center of the oasis, there was a spring that was so huge that it would not be an exaggeration to call it a lake, and trees grew thick like a forest around the oasis, and countless buildings were located around it.
The splendid aspect of the buildings that were set up like that reminded me of Las Vegas.
In fact, Oasis Heba was an area where you could get quests that gave pretty decent rewards.
A place where you can catch hot opportunities like Las Vegas.
However, there was no expectation on the faces of the players who visited the oasis Heba that they would be able to take a chance.
“At last we have arrived…. .
In particular, most of the visitors were making faces as if they were about to collapse from exhaustion.
“Ugh, let’s sit down.”
“I’ll just log out.”
“Let’s do this for today and do it again tomorrow.”
It wasn’t just their facial expressions, most of those who had just arrived immediately found a seat to rest or just logged out altogether.
There was nothing strange about it.
“You’ve crossed this damn desert by any means. I couldn’t believe it would take three months… … .
The desert crossing was too long to have a sense of accomplishment.
Also, there was no reward for the long journey.
“Then, the next hunting ground…. .
The only thing given to those who crossed the desert was the opportunity to challenge the next hunting ground.
And that opportunity was another cause of despair for the players.
“…. Is it the forest of ogres?”
Ogre Forest.
It was the next stage for players who graduated from the desert, and it was the place with the highest death rate among hunting grounds below level 300.
“Oh damn I don’t want to go!”
“The desert is like hell, but the forest of ogres is even more like hell.”
This was the reason why players who could drop cranes just by looking at sand couldn’t easily leave the oasis.
But, as always, there are exceptions.
Those who are confident in their skills did not spend time in the oasis Heba.
“I heard that the kids from the Jungwon Guild are so amazing that they went straight to the ogre forest as soon as they came here?”
“I heard you stayed here for about 30 minutes?”
“Then I just went right away without taking a break.”
In the case of the midfield guild, the time spent at Oasis Heba was less than an hour.
“I don’t have any good memories in the desert, so what would be good to spend time here?”
“Well, it’s because you’re only going to see shame.”
“It would be nice if I saw shame, didn’t I even get to fight?”
Of course, people knew that the reason why the Jungwon Guild left the Burinake Desert was not just because of their skills, but because of other reasons.
“Hey, you’re breaking!”
“trot?”
“The BJ Grand Mage is coming here!”
And the reason everyone thinks is that we arrived at the last oasis.
9.
Quaang!
[Your level has risen.]
Despite the distance, Midas gave a faint smile at the level up notification through the sound of an explosion that made his ears sting.
‘With this, level 227.’
It seems like it was just yesterday that he received the level 220 reward, but now that he is looking at the level 230, it was an inevitable smile.
‘I never imagined that leveling up would be so easy.’
Moreover, in the process of leveling up now, speed is also speed, but the consumption of concentration was very small.
There was no particular reason to waste it.
In the desert field, which is like a desert field, Midas just needs to bombard magic, including big explosion magic, whenever the cooldown is full.
king!
“Master, it was a great hunt this time too.”
After Midas’ bombardment was over, Lucky and Gold Silver finished it off.
From the perspective of the Midas party, which unilaterally hunted even in the sand forest, the general field was laughable.
couw!
To the point where you don’t even have a chance to hit the jackpot.
“That bad bird doesn’t do anything but eat. I’m worried about what might happen to your master’s reputation.”
Seeing Jackpot sitting on top of Midas’ head like that, Gold spat out a word curtly.
However, Jackpot didn’t even look at Gold as if he wasn’t interested, moving his feet on top of Midas’ head and slightly adjusting his posture.
“Master, if you give me permission, I will definitely fix the bad bird’s habit of eating only this meal.”
“Ah, okay. are you okay.”
Midas, who had comforted Gold, who was so angry, immediately turned his gaze to Oasis Heba and said.
“Because there will be a lot of things to do with the jackpot in the future.”
As Midas spit out those words, he saw a red pillar rising from the center of the oasis Heba, and the smile on Midas’s lips widened as he saw it.
‘Very properly.’
Midas, with a smile that couldn’t get any darker, immediately led his friends into the oasis Heba.
[Entered Oasis Heba.]
[Obtained the title of the one who crossed the desert.]
[Acquired the title of the one who could not stop the desert.]
As soon as he entered, a system notification notifying him that he had reached the end of the crossing greeted Midas.
“It’s BJ Gold! It’s the look of a Guardian!”
“BJ Silver is here too! In the form of a desert king!”
“It’s a BJ master mage! Alone too! Solo!”
And the cheering interest of the players also welcomed Midas.
At such a sight, Midas waved his hand like a parade and said,
“Yes, I am BJ Grand Mage. Everyone, have fun!”
The moment I heard that comment, some noticed.
“uh? BJ Grand Mage, isn’t there any fanservice today?”
“Are you going right away?”
BJ Grand Mage, who would normally have told me to line up for fan service, was nice to meet you here and said goodbye?
Something that might raise questions.
Midas answered the question that arose.
“I have to do a very important quest right now. Fan service must be difficult today.”
In the answer that followed, some of them said with a different expression.
“If it’s an important quest, is it a main scenario quest?”
To that question, Midas answered meekly.
“Anyway, it is. Is there anything else important besides that?”
“What is it about?”
“Haha I don’t know. Once you clear it, you will know the reward. But since it’s a desert graduation, there won’t be anything sad about it, right?”
Midas, who spat out those words, smiled in repentance.
‘I have to sprinkle rice cakes from time to time.’
It is much more effective to plant anticipation from time to time than to plant it all at once.
Of course, it would be a problem if you just threw rice cakes and didn’t get to the point, but Midas didn’t worry about that right now.
‘How many bombs are about to explode?’
Isn’t it a situation where there are only two bombs he will explode in the future?
“Then I will go to something important. If something cool comes out, I will not hide it right away, but will reveal it through a live broadcast.”
After seeking understanding, Midas did not stop and tried to take a step forward to meet the descendant of the royal family at the place where the red pillar was located.
That was the moment.
Pooh!
Three elephants came toward Midas, shaking the earth with peculiar cries.
“uh? elephant?”
“Were there elephants in Heba?”
The appearance of an elephant that had never appeared before in the oasis Heba Such an elephant stopped in front of Midas.
Then, the one who climbed on top of the elephant came down to the floor and said.
“I will guide you to the descendants.”
It was the moment when the rice cakes were perfectly sprinkled.
10.
Among the many palaces located in the heart of Oasis Heba, the largest and most splendid palace.
[You have entered the palace of Ivar.]
[Meet the royal heir and acquired the title.]
Midas became the first visitor to the palace, which is considered a palace that players cannot enter.
Are you here?”
And right away NPC Ivar greeted the visitor.
“My name is Ivar. We have already received a signal from the Guardian.”
kid!
NPC Ivar, standing over 2 meters tall and wearing a white robe, then a falcon on his shoulder let out a sharp sound.
“That Midas!”
At that moment, without the slightest hesitation, Midas took out the royal inheritance he had received from his inventory and handed it to NPC Ivar.
“The Guardian has been asked to hand over the inheritance of this royal family to a descendant of the royal family.”
NPC Ivar, who was staring at the small box on Midas’ palm, shook his head.
“You are amazing.”
Then, with a brief exclamation, he continued.
“To be able to hand over this precious thing that even the desert king was aiming at for the royal family inheritance without hesitation.”
Even with this precious treasure in front of you, you are not shaken!
Midas said in admiration.
“I made a promise. I will definitely keep the promise I made with Midas, even if it means dying!”
Gold, who was right next to the proud shout, clapped vigorously and said.
“As expected, Gold is just admiring and admiring that noble belief in keeping his master’s promise.”
Of course, the reason Midas appeared so boldly was not because of his noble beliefs, as Gold said.
‘It’s mine anyway.’
Whatever you do will be yours, so why hesitate to give?
“You have passed the Guardian’s test.”
At that time, NPC Ivar lightly pushed Midas’ hand with his ring box on it with his hand.
“This legacy is yours now.”
as if to go.
“Oh, thank you.”
At that gesture, Midas spoke very quickly while holding the item in his hand.
“Then can I open it?”
Then, without hesitation, he opened the ring box.
To the point where the previous action becomes meaningless.
“As expected, I am once again admiring the way Master doesn’t hesitate.”
In the meantime, Gold spat out praises for Midas with applause again.
[Open the royal family legacy.]
[Acquired the royal family’s elixir.]
Then, a small bottle came out of the box inside, and NPC Ivar, who saw it, explained it.
“It is an elixir passed down from generation to generation in the royal family. If you feed the bird that is now overhead, it will be your guardian.”
great info.
“Wow, that’s amazing. really.”
Of course, Midas, who already knew, did not hear such an explanation.
‘Let’s see the jackpot jackpot.’
I just want to see Jackpot who became a guardian as soon as possible.
“Did you hear the jackpot?”
couw?
“Jackpot, let’s eat this. come down.”
couw!
The moment Midas tried to lower the jackpot sitting on top of my head, the jackpot flapped its wings violently and began to struggle.
couw!
I was surprised when the owner suddenly tried to grab my body.
couw!
Soon after, Jackpot avoided Midas’ hand and landed on the floor as Jess, and sent his eyes toward Midas.
Even if we’re good, isn’t it a bit like this? eyes full of displeasure.
Seeing that, Midas, with a puzzled expression on his face, opened the lid of the royal elixir in his hand, spilled it on his palm, and carefully held it out in front of Jackpot’s beak.
“Don’t do that, just take a sip. This is a good deal.”
coo coo coo
Only then did the jackpot begin to hold the royal family’s elixir in Midas’ hand.
[Jackpot ingested the royal family’s elixir.]
[Jackpot acquired the Guardian Incarnation skill.]
Then, along with notifications that sounded sequentially, Jackpot’s appearance changed at once.
A being with a bird’s head and a human body, like a guardian of the royal family.
At the same time, it was seen in Midas’ eyes.
‘Wow, your skills are awesome. Use your intellect and look at your magic!’
The moment you become a guardian, the level of Jackpot’s ability has changed.
‘Awesome! Even if you compare it to quite a few level 300 ranker players, won’t you bow down?’
Midas heard the notification again.
[Choose the new ability of the jackpot yourself.]
At the same time, three cards filled Midas’ eyes.
‘omg!’
Everyone radiated a golden light.
The moment when the chance to learn the third skill of the jackpot appears.
‘oh my god.’
The skills that appeared like that were excellent enough to match the Legendary grade.
‘The dragon’s breath stigmata and… … uh?’
Dragon’s Breath, which gives the target high resistance to elemental attacks, and a stigma that reduces damage received for a certain period of time.
‘A holy thunderbolt?’
And in the last third, there was a holy thunderbolt that pierces a thunderbolt that greatly recovers the target’s HP.
Among them, the one that caught Midas’ attention was the holy thunderbolt.
‘Is the long-distance healing skill here?’
The effect is also effective, but the holy thunderbolt was one of the few healing skills that could reliably fill the target’s HP even from a distance.
A skill that does not require a healer to risk their lives to approach the dealer or tank.
Of course, its usefulness was indescribable.
‘If you have this… … .’
Considering the characteristics of Lucky and Gold and Silver who fight in the forefront, it is a skill that is no different from an extra life.
Of course, the other two skills were also good enough.
‘Uh… … .’
It is a topic that is bound to be troubling in many ways.
“Choose an owner quickly.”
“Oh sorry.”
Midas, who hesitated at the voice that came out then, reflexively spat out an apology.
huh?
Then Midas, feeling strange, raised his head and tilted his head slightly.
Then Jackpot in front of him opened his beak and said.
“There is no time. Choose quickly, master.”
“uh?”
Midas is surprised again.
Eventually, Midas spoke to the jackpot.
“Are you short?”
“So what’s the problem?”
Apparently, he got a goal-striking guardian.
“haha…. .
Midas, who laughed at that fact, chose one of the cards in front of him.
‘Let’s go with this for now.’
The one chosen was the holy thunderbolt.
In many ways, considering the Midas Party, which had very few healing skills, it was an appropriate choice.
[Jackpot has acquired the Holy Thunderbolt skill.]
Soon after, Midas immediately turned his attention to Jackpot at the notification he heard.
It sounds like you’re going to have a nice, honest conversation.
It was then.
“I will now give you a mission to the heir of the legacy.”
NPC Ivar quickly spoke to Midas.
“A mission?
“Now that you have inherited the royal legacy, you must do your due duty.”
It means that you have something to eat, so you have to work.
“Of course I have to. So what?”
Because of this, I didn’t question NPC Ivar’s words.
‘I’m guessing he’s going to the ogre’s forest.’
Also, I wasn’t worried.
“A letter has arrived from the Ogre Forest asking for help. Hunt the ogres there.”
‘Wait hunting? No way?’
However, the moment he heard the word ogre hunting, anxiety crept into Midas’ mind.
[A new quest has been added to the main scenario quest list.]
[Ogre’s Forest]
