Chapter 376. < Episode 118. Faster than anyone Different from others (1). >
1.
The first destination for players who first set foot in Black Desert was the place where the first sacred tree, Gramatian, was located.
“Is that that gmatian? Is it easier than you think?”
It wasn’t difficult to find such a Gematian.
The presence of a 100-meter-high pure white tree towering over the black sand desert was so strong that it was hard to find it even if you didn’t want to find it.
“But why can’t other kids find a place that’s so easy to find? Did you see it spinning around?”
However, there were cases in which he did not go directly to such a Gematian.
“Why didn’t you go? We’re practicing catching crocuses while the spirits are in effect.”
“ah.
The moment they arrive at Gramasian, their consideration for the Black Desert novice ends, and from then on, they have to face the true fear of Crocus.
“The effective time of the spirit is one week. In the meantime, practice as much as possible.”
For that reason, in order to get used to Crocus, there were cases where they did not go to Gematian on purpose and hunted.
“A curse? You can’t use potions if you’re cursed, right?”
“Even that is training. If it’s to the point where you overuse potions against Crocus you can see coming, it’s better to just quit the game. Even star players. We’ve come this far, but if we show a bad side, the viewers will be blown away, so we have to grit our teeth and practice and show a great side.”
In particular, the higher the name value, the higher the frequency of such training.
“That’s why the BJ Archmage still hasn’t arrived in Gemasian.”
“Nothing.”
It was for this reason that people did not question the story that BJ the Great Mage, who left the Black Desert two days ago, had not yet returned to Gmashian.
Rather than questioning it, most were convinced.
“Even if you are a BJ master mage, you have to practice hard to survive in the Black Desert. Even more so if you want to survive on your own, just like you spit it out.”
“It must be difficult.”
Considering the level of difficulty in Black Desert, it would require rigorous training.
“It’s not hard enough, but they’re probably hunting in a place where you can’t see them right now?”

“Damn it!”
Along with cursing, the orb of the great explosion thrown by Midas landed on the thick sand of the Black Desert.
Like a missile, the dropped orb pierced the sand of the black desert and dug deeper before it exploded, worthy of its name.
Kwakwawang!
The explosion scattered black sand.
Kwakwawang!
Then, when the second explosion occurred, black sand gushed out like a fountain.
[You have killed Crocus.]
[Your level has risen.]
Upon hearing the notification that followed, Midas said while looking at the two dragons and Lucky standing still behind him.
“Damn it!”
A deep smile hung on Midas’ lips as he repeatedly spat out curse words.
Of course, the swearing she was spouting now wasn’t sincere.
“To come to such an easy place now!”
It was an exclamation of joy.
‘I knew it would be easy, but I never thought it would be this easy!’
He had already predicted that the Black Desert would become an easy stage for him.
But that was more than Midas thought.
First of all, Midas’ spec-up was enormous beyond what he thought.
‘If you train steadily, it suddenly explodes all at once, but now is that time.’
And the spec-up and the training and experience that Midas had done so far were mixed, creating a synergistic effect.
‘I never thought it would be this much.’
In particular, he showed the light of his practice properly.
In the meantime, Midas had practiced repeatedly to increase the range and accuracy of his throws.
However, it was not easy to reveal the results of the training.
No matter how hard I trained, it was difficult to demonstrate even 50% of my abilities, let alone 100%, in a limited environment.
On the other hand, Black Desert now is a place where the results of the training can be displayed 120%, not 100%.
‘Well, the best thing is that you can see the cursed area.’
At the same time, Midas could see even the cursed area, the worst place to face in the Black Desert.
It was also very clear to see a reddish light hovering over the cursed area.
The benefits were enormous.
Obviously, Crocus was a troublesome monster, but Black Desert was mostly a hunting ground for players who had reached level 340. Even if it was a troublesome monster, once you got used to it, there was nothing difficult to catch.
Nevertheless, it was because of the curse of the Black Desert that Black Desert heard the sound of hell from the players.
As I said before, most of the players who come here are not only dedicated to the game, but also people whose lives have been changed thanks to the game.
Thanks to God Wars, they enjoyed rich movies, and of course, they invested a lot of money into the game to keep their current position.
Of course, the cost of spending items like potions was enormous.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a potion addict.
That’s why the restriction of not being able to use potions was even more fatal to them.
Midas was no different.
‘I can use potions as much as I want even in the Black Desert.’
In such a situation, Midas had nothing to worry about the curse at all.
Of course, there was no need to visit the sacred tree one by one to lift the curse.
It means you can go wherever you want to go.
In that passage, Midas had one thought as he looked at the red pillar rising over the black desert.
‘Let’s end this as quickly as possible. I don’t have anyone to be with anyway.’
To clear the main scenario quest as quickly as possible.

– Can BJ Grand Mage really do it alone?
After BJ Grand Mage’s solo declaration, the public’s interest was whether or not solo play was possible.
It is only natural that the focus is placed on possibilities rather than expectations as we are going down an unprecedented path.
– I can’t.
– That’s what you mean, you’ll get help in the end.
To be honest, I didn’t expect BJ Grand Mage to change his words midway through.
– But there’s no news yet?
– It is said that he did not appear in Gematian.
– I heard everyone doesn’t even know where they are?
However, when there was no news, the atmosphere changed.
– It looks like you really want to play solo.
b It seems to be determined and trained.
b I guess Playing solo will require more preparation than ever.
Rather, people began to sincerely accept BJ Grand Mage’s solo declaration.
“It seems to be real, judging from the situation.”
Wizard Guild.
Among the 1st tier guilds, the guild master of that place, Soseok, was one of them.
I thought that BJ Archmage’s solo declaration might be a camouflage or deception operation, but the situation leaned towards the truth.
“That the Abyss Guild tells you how to acquire the Dragon Slayer Sword.”
And it was the way to acquire the Dragon Slayer Sword that made him completely inclined.
“I told you it was true. Why can’t you believe me?”
“How can you believe the words of a person who silently and coldly withdrew our guild member contract period 15 days ago?”
“Did we steal something? They just paid for players whose contracts had expired and took them away.”
“Still, there is a minimum of top coat. The Big Family Guild is the guild with the least top coat. huh? Take it out a little bit.”
“Anyway, let me recap the story.”
The starting point of the story was Gord, the master of the Big Family Guild, which boasts the largest number of guild members among the current Tier 1 guilds.
“The Abyss Guild made a request to us. I will tell you how to acquire the Dragon Slayer Sword. The quest to obtain the Dragon Slayer Sword can only be carried out by up to 100 people. Build an all-star team and proceed. ”
Gord made an offer to the Wizard Guild with the following story.
“I’ll give you ten of them. Only wizard players.”
Let’s fuck BJ Grand Mage together and get the Dragon Slayer sword.
At this point, I had no choice but to believe it.
No, it wasn’t a matter of trusting or sleeping.
Currently, the dream of Tier 1 guilds in the Black Desert is to catch the BJ Grand Mage.
‘It’s a bonus to love BJ Tsushima, as well as being a dragon slayer.’
However, it is strange to worry about a situation where an unexpected product is caught.
So how?”
“Are you going to accept that?”
“Listen first.”
“Hey, where is this floor that you fall for after listening to it? The moment you hear it, you become a family. Okay, then I’ll tell you to trust me to do it together. The method is simple. Our All-Star Team is going to get the Dragon Slayer before BJ Archmage.”
Sose in the description, is that all? said.
“After that, our second all-star team is going to get the second dragon slayer. Then the third team.”
“The third team?”
However, So-seo changed her expression at the explanation that followed.
“The 7 guilds that are currently holding hands will go around until they eat the dragon slayer one by one. right? It’s only fair to have at least one per guild. Can’t you just take one and use it?”
“…. How many days will it take to get one dragon slayer?”
“They said they had to catch the double-headed dragon at the end. Since the double-headed dragon regenerates every 120 hours, it seemed like it would take at least 15 days to calculate all the other times.”
7 teams and 15 days, said Soseo, who calculated the time.
“I will become an enemy of BJ Daemado Love.”
“No, it’s not that we’re going to fight, we’re just getting information and playing the game normally, so we’re going to become enemies? But there’s nothing you can do about it if you become an enemy.”
A bright smile hung on Gord’s lips as he answered.
A smile that means, please, I wish that was the case.
Seeing that smile, Soseo no longer had doubts in her head.
“So what are your future plans?”
“The red tree is the starting point. I have to go from there.”
“A red tree? Where are you?”
“Location is random. They disappear once you meet them, and you can find out their new location through the tombstones placed throughout the Black Desert.”
“It’s a goal-hitting difficulty.”
“Isn’t God Wars like that?”
“Then I guess I’ll have to go find the red tree first. So what is the situation now?”
“I found the current tombstone. But I don’t know where the red tree is. Because 100 members have been recruited and they may have to accept quests.
“Who is the BJ Great Mage?”
“Well, the Abyss Guild must have taught you how to attack well. Could it be that you informed us later than we did?”
Soso, who was listening to the story, laughed.
“It wouldn’t be easy for BJ the great mage to even find the red tree.”
4.
OK Arrive.”
After Midas finished his brief words, a red tree stood in front of his eyes, just as he said.
The height of the tree is about 3 meters.
It was not a size that could be easily found with the naked eye in the vast desert.
‘Just looking for something like this, the difficulty of the quest is really damn right.’
It’s literally like looking for a needle in the sand.
‘I didn’t give you two Legendary Epic Skill Card Books for nothing.’
However, considering the quest reward, it was understandable enough.
Because I already felt the value of the Legendary Epic skillbook to the bone.
‘Three with this.’
Moreover, Midas was currently in possession of a Legendary Epic skill book obtained while collecting all the dragon bones.
‘Uh.’
It’s really exciting enough to make your heart explode.
“Whoa.
It was for this reason that Midas took a long breath as if taking a deep breath, even though he was cheating in the game.
‘good.’
After a while, Midas, who had made up his mind, moved near the red tree.
Great!
At that moment, there was a creaking sound from the red tree, and the red tree rose from its seat and began to change its shape.
like Tgar.
The red tree with its arms and legs pulled out began to move.
Midas, of course, was not surprised by that fact.
Because it was already visible in his eyes.
[NPC Trium]
The fact that the red tree is an NPC.
“Who is the one who came to see me?”
Eventually, toward the NPC trium who opened his mouth, Midas handed over the letter he had taken out of his inventory and said,
“I came here at the request of Lord Algamas.”
“Algamas?”
“yes.
“Looks like he managed to get his freedom back. I’ve been cursed for so many years.
curse.
From those two letters, Midas was able to intuit the scenario.
‘I must release the curse to reveal the dragon slayer’s tomb.’
In the meantime, NPC Trium, who picked up the letter with a tree branch, began to read the letter in silence.
Took!
At that time, something fell from NPC Trium’s body.
Took!
Not one, but two.
‘come!’
What fell was none other than the Legendary Epic Skill Card Book!
“uh? Something has fallen.”
However, Midas pretended not to know what it was and started to pick it up.
“I will pick it up.”
As if trying to pick up a dropped wallet and hand it to the owner.
‘This is mine.’
Of course, I had no intention of giving it away.
“You take it.”
“yes?”
“With this, the debt with Algamas has been paid off. I owe him no more, and I owe no more to you.”
[The quest has been completed.]
[The level has risen.]
At that moment, a notification sounded as if I had waited.
“So let’s make a deal with me. You said you wanted to know the dragon slayer’s tomb, right?”
“yes.
“Then release my curse. Then I will tell you where to go to my tomb.”
Midas did not hesitate at the words that followed.
‘Dragon Rare was a hit, but the Dragon Slayer Grave would be different. This time, I’ll pull it properly and eat it.’
There is no reason to reject the Dragon Slayer’s relics.
“yes! What can I do for you?”
“The temple of the god who put this curse on me is here. Destroy that temple.”
[A new quest has been updated in the Main Scenario Quest section.]
Following the answer, a notification and a quest window popped up in Midas’ ears.
[Dragon Slayer]
– Quest Level: Main scenario
– Quest Level: 359 or lower.
– Quest Content: At the request of NPC Trium, find and destroy the temple that cursed him.
– Quest Reward: Dragon Slayer’s Grave
! Upon completion of the quest, ‘Sealed Sword’ can proceed.
Midas tilted his head while watching the quest.
“By the way, where is the temple?”
“I don’t know. I am a body that has been deprived of even the freedom to move due to a curse. I don’t even know where I am. The only thing I know is that among the tombstones that appear in Black Desert, there is a place that points to a temple.”
Midas clicked his tongue at the explanation that followed.
‘The level of difficulty is really insulting. I just made up my mind not to wake up.’
That was it.
Midas wasn’t particularly worried.
“It will be difficult in many ways.”
“Ah yes.”
Because it was clearly visible in the eyes of Midas who answered.
“It must be difficult.”
‘Except me.’
A pillar of red light clearly visible over the black desert.
