Chapter 375. < Episode 117. Black Desert (3). >
8.
As they walked endlessly through the gloomy giant tomb, at some point, a black world came into the eyes of the players.
That place was the Black Desert, the hunting ground after the Great Grave.
A desert of literal black sand.
“The sand of the Black Desert is no big deal. It’s just a little visual, but nothing special about it. If you have to compare it to a normal desert, you can’t see the footprints well?”
In fact, it didn’t matter that the sand was black.
Two things were important.
“Honestly, the footprints are good, but the ones that really hit the target are the crocuses.”
One is Crocus, a monster that appears in Black Desert.
It is a monster that resembles a crocodile in appearance and has a body length of at least 5 meters.
The difference with crocodiles is that they can walk on two legs depending on the situation, and if you go deeper into the Black Desert, crocuses with larger and special abilities appeared.
In addition, these crocuses could freely roam the sands of the Black Desert like a swamp.
“I’ll say it again, there’s nothing strange about them whenever they appear. He’s a very goofy guy.”
It was impossible for players to notice that approach in a normal way.
“And when they show up in the Cursed Zone, they just go crazy.”
The second headache was the Curse of the Black Desert.
Passing through the Black Desert, they entered the Cursed Zone of the Black Desert, and those who entered were cursed by the Black Desert.
And while under the curse of the Black Desert, he could not use any consumable items.
“If a group of crocuses appear in a situation where potions are useless…. .
“If you fight without potions, you’ll vomit?”
“No. You should run, not fight. It’s best to jump out quickly and break the curse.”
“Remove the curse?”
“There are sacred trees all over the Black Desert. You just need to receive the protection of that tree.”
“Then how until we get to that tree?”
“What should I do, please write a prayer meta so that Crocus doesn’t come out.”
A story that gives goosebumps just by hearing it to ranker-level players, whose lives cost more than the price of gold.
“That’s why collaborations are frequent in Black Desert.”
Because of this, in this harsh Black Desert, guilds and players often held hands.
A place where you can never survive alone.
In any case, since it is a harsh Black Desert in many ways, players entering for the first time were given a chance to taste it.
“The good news is that they even let you taste it.”
The party that entered the Black Desert for the first time was given a light spirit that informed them of Crocus’ approach, and it remained in effect until they reached the first sacred tree, Gematian, where players who entered the Black Desert gathered.
It’s kind of like a tutorial system.
“It’s such a caring consideration that I’m really grateful for to the point of tears.”
Of course, there were no players who truly appreciated that fact.
Because I knew that there were enough players to come to the Black Desert, where you can level up to 370.
The fact that the game God Wars provides unimaginable convenience in this way is proof that the game’s difficulty is also unimaginably difficult.
Of course, when forming a party at the beginning of the Black Desert, players wanted to organize it in a way that benefited them as much as possible.
“Here comes something!”
“Dragon? It’s a dragon! Bone Dragon and Chimera Dragon!”
“It’s the BJ Great Mage!”
In such a situation, when BJ Grand Mage appeared at the beginning of the Black Desert, of course the players waiting at the beginning of the Black Desert had no choice but to explode.
‘Let’s party together somehow!’
It was a heaven-sent opportunity to collaborate with BJ the Great Mage, not anyone else.
It was not a vague expectation.
‘No matter how much I am a BJ master mage, I will never pass through the Black Desert alone.’
As I said before, Black Desert is a place where collaboration is difficult enough to be taken for granted.
‘Golden Airlines got a new body, so I’ll have to do it properly.’
‘There’s no way that the BJ Grand Mage, who is the seed of interest, will just take this opportunity. I’ll do it properly once.’
Also, until now, whenever BJ Daemage moved on to the next hunting ground, unless it was a special occasion, he would put the name Lucky Express Gold Aviation at the forefront and move with other players.
It is natural to have expectations.
‘The guild was allowed. You can run.’
Furthermore, several guilds were fully prepared to seize this opportunity.
‘If you go into a ticket price auction, you will win the bid somehow.’
‘I can’t miss it no matter how long it is.’
‘Let’s ride the BJ Great Mage coin and fly up once!’
The opportunity to be with BJ Grand Mage was so valuable that I could pay for it, and more than anything else, it was an opportunity.
‘We have to talk first, so we can go on a date or start a fight.’
An opportunity to take the next step.
Couldn’t the guild and the Red Skull guild go on a date with the BJ Grand Mage to move on to the next level?
BJ Grand Mage appeared in front of them and said.
“From the looks on everyone’s faces, it looks like they’ve been waiting for me. Even with quite a lot of preparation.”
At that moment, the players’ expressions changed.
‘I’m thinking of an open auction.’
It was because he thought that BJ the great mage had decided to pick the mulberry properly against the players collaborating with him this time.
‘How much should I pay?’
‘If you think about the stock price of BJ Daemage right now… … .’
‘Is it possible to bid with money rather than that?’
Moreover, it has become an established fact that BJ the great mage is a super-wealthy man.
It was virtually impossible to buy him with money.
Things that cannot be bought with money This means that information that can be used in the game or items or skills that are about the level of Legendary must be provided.
In front of that fact, some looked as if they had given up on the auction, and some as if they were more determined.
Eventually, the BJ Grand Mage spoke.
“Sorry, but we decided not to party in Black Desert.”
At the unexpected remark, all the players in the audience put on dazed faces.
‘what?’
It was such a shocking remark, and in the end, one person spoke his mind without realizing it, perhaps because he was too shocked.
“What bullshit is that? Huh!”
It was a vehement expression that would surprise even if he uttered it himself, but no one was surprised by the remark.
Because it was the most perfect expression of everyone’s feelings.
For them, Midas spoke once more clearly.
“It is literally. I will never party hunt in the Black Desert.”

– Hey, I bought BJ Grand Mage again.
What did you hit this time?
b declared.
b declaration? what declaration?
b Declared solo.
When BJ Grand Mage’s Black Desert solo declaration was known as breaking news, the public’s reaction was one.
– What bullshit? What kind of accident is it to say that you pooped after eating yesterday?
ㄴ That’s right, isn’t it that the BJ great mage is the BJ great mage?
Why are you breaking the obvious and talking about it?
– That’s not it, he declared that he would never accept help from anyone in the Black Desert!
b what?
ㄴ I just declared that I was doing everything from one to ten by myself!
However, in front of the additional breaking news that followed, everyone had no choice but to react differently.
– What’s special about that? Have you ever played solo?
ㄴ It’s not a pure meaning. Whether it was a confrontation or whatever, I received help.
No matter how much I am a BJ master mage, I cannot do everything alone.
– The last dragon raid was possible because the two guilds caught the zombie mammoth.
ㄴ Anyway, if I had just put the head on my own, would it have just jumped out as soon as the dragon came out?
ㄴI didn’t do it purely alone, like the meteorite impact point in the past.
In fact, it was unreasonable to see BJ Grand Mage’s moves as pure solo play.
– But is that possible in the Black Desert? It’s a place where even the top tier 1 guilds join hands for granted, right?
Moreover, the difficulty level of the Black Desert was incomparably worse than that of the Great Tomb.
Declaring to do everything alone in a place like that?
A confusing situation in many ways.
“Tier 1 guilds will fall into a state of panic.”
Among them, the ones that fell into the most confusion were the Tier 1 guilds that were aiming for the BJ Archmage, as Merlin said.
I thought I would be able to aim for the title of the 10th guild once again, but I didn’t miss that opportunity at all, it disappeared.
“That must be what the BJ Archmage is aiming for.”
In other words, that part was the reason BJ Grand Mage made such a shocking declaration.
“Because against an all-star team created by 1st tier guilds, it will definitely be burdensome no matter what you do.”
Until now, it was worth trying to compete against the players who rushed in, but in the future it could not be done.
So, I would rather go ahead on my own, even if it means investing more time and effort.
“It hurts.”
It wasn’t good news for Merlin either.
It meant that no attempt could be made against the BJ Grand Mage, who had blocked the conversation window itself.
“There is no such thing as a headache.”
But unexpectedly, Emma’s expression was calm when she accepted the news.
“There’s nothing to worry about, so you’re saying you can’t touch BJ Grand Mage no matter what he does?”
“Because of you, Merlin, I have a chance.”
“what?”
Merlin tilts his head at the word thanks to you.
“You said that you would give information about the dragon slayer sword as a prize if you catch this dragon in a solo raid in the sponsor chat.”
Merlin’s expression crumpled.
That was something I should never have said, and because of it, I was ridiculed in many ways.
It is unlikely that such a story will sound good in this passage.
“But I didn’t make any promises about the information-providing process. I just said it was provided in a big way.”
But what Emma was doing was not being sarcastic.
“And I didn’t say that I would exclusively provide that information to only one BJ Archmage.”
At that moment, Merlin’s expression changed.
“That’s right, even if BJ Grand Mage doesn’t want to, if there’s a competitor in the middle of the same quest, I have no choice but to compete.”
You cannot be lonely just because you want to live alone in everything in the world.
“Furthermore, we did not specify when we would provide the information. You can’t put it off forever, but you don’t have to give it right now.”
At the explanation that followed, Merlin also now put on a calm expression.
“So we just need to make a team in advance. After that, you can deploy that team. A place where you have no choice but to collide with BJ the great mage.”
“If there is no choice but to collide…. I will be there.”
“Yes, it must start with the red tree.”
red tree.
At that word, Merlin now went beyond a calm level and even smiled with a sense of composure.
“Well, it’s not a place where you can find it because you absolutely want to find it. You can figure out the location through the hidden tombstones placed throughout the Black Desert, and it’s hard to find out. Because the Black Desert is like a wide maze. A labyrinth that cannot be reached even if there is a path.”
That smile was proof of confidence.
“If you go there alone…. There will be more time than ever. You can proceed slowly and steadily.”
Proof of certainty that BJ Grand Mage will not achieve what he wants in the Black Desert.
10.
“You bastard!”
Gold bit the body of one of the crocuses that appeared with an angry cry.
kuhh!
Despite its enormous size of 5 meters, Crocus was like a hunting dog in front of a tiger in front of a 30-meter gold.
No matter how much Crocus struggled to free himself, Gold didn’t tolerate even resistance, pressing down on Crocus’s head and tail with his big feet.
Kwajik!
As he repeatedly interrupted his struggle, he repeatedly bit off the flesh of the crocus with his hard teeth.
[Crocus has been killed.]
Eventually, as soon as he heard the notification of the crocus hunting, Gold raised his head and looked around.
Krrr!
“For the Master!”
Then Gold saw a chimera dragon biting a crocus and a silver wolf.
Gold, who saw it, shouted.
“Bad dog! I was faster!”
K-King!
As if in response to the provocation, Lucky let out an angry sound, while Gold looked at Midas with a smug expression and said,
“Master, I was faster!”
“Oh yes.”
However, Midas’ response was lukewarm.
No, beyond the lukewarm level, Midas wasn’t even looking at the battlefield.
I just look at the black desert that is so quiet.
‘Oh, I’m going crazy.’
It was seen in Midas’ eyes.
‘I’m going crazy because I look so good.’
The existences of Crocus hiding everywhere in the black world are very clear.
‘I really can’t look this good.’
So far, the Midas Eye has always been a great help.
However, even if you can see everything, it is difficult to properly grasp what you see in a dense forest or a dazzling desert.
On the other hand, everything in the Black Desert was completely black.
From Midas’ point of view, it’s like seeing a white drawing on a black drawing paper after seeing a yellow drawing on a white drawing paper.
Furthermore, the land of the desert was the best stage for Midas to play an active role.
Falling Star If you use the meteorite’s power, you can hit any number of monsters under the desert sand.
‘Ah, I was good at playing solo.’
Crucially, this time, it was a stage where you didn’t have to worry about the people around you.
king!
“Master, everything has been taken care of.”
That was the reason why Midas didn’t pay much attention or attention to the battle between Lucky and Gold Silver.
“Good work guys. Now I’m just breathing in the back.”
Because I was confident that I could really smash everything here.
Embracing that confidence, Midas turned his head and looked at the red pillar rising from the dark ground.
At that moment, Midas was confident beyond himself.
“Because I’ll really carry you this time.”
‘I think I can eat it raw the most since God Wars started.’
It will be an easier stage than ever.
