◈ 502. [Free Exploration]
The next day, let’s go shopping for items.
It’s been a while since I came to the dungeon with the main party… … but
“… .”
I’m in a bad mood.
As I sighed with my lips pouting, the rest of the party members – Lucas Evangeline Damien Jr. looked at me with hesitation.
“Yeah… Seniors. What’s going on?”
In the end, Evangeline asked cautiously first, but I waved my hand.
“No no… don’t worry. Because nothing happened.”
“Your expression is very bad for saying that. like… .”
“like?”
“Your face is like a puffer fish that has been slapped on the cheek.”
“… .”
When I looked at her with a really feverish face, Evangeline ran away with a sound like ‘blowfish bursting’.
“Whoa.”
I took a breath and cleared my face. Yes, it is wrong that I feel bad, and I shouldn’t worry the party members.
The reason I was in a bad mood was… It was because of last night’s box cracker.
I opened all the reward boxes I had collected so far last night, but there was a catastrophe that didn’t come out at all.
‘Especially among them, there were several SSR grade boxes, but how come none of them are finished?’
Instead, a lot of SSR-grade magic cores poured out.
Of course, this is also a precious item, but it’s still a human heart, huh? If possible, the legendary item should drop in your hand while emitting a dazzling beam of light. Hey, hard work is worthwhile- I wonder if you’ll be this proud.
‘I’ve been lucky, but… … .’
It’s true that I’ve been eating a lot of good items from low-grade chests and getting lucky items often.
Still, when I mess around like this in a high-grade box, I automatically become an ash puffer fish and turn red like this.
Anyway, as I grumbled and entered the dungeon, the base camp came out.
Kkang-! Kkang-!
I felt a little better when I heard the familiar sound of a hammer. At the base camp forge, Kelly Bay was pounding hard with a hammer.
“Kelly Bay!”
“Oh dear prince. You’re here.”
Kelly Bay smiled at me and immediately changed her words.
“No, no. Now I can’t call you the young prince anymore. You are the head of the global pan-national alliance.”
“The words are too big. He’s a proxy war commander who just receives troops instead and blocks monsters.”
“I see you are so humble. I’m done being a politician.”
Kelly Bay clicked her tongue and immediately tilted her head.
“But what’s wrong with that expression? did something bad happen? It looks like a puffer fish that has been hit with a couple of punches.”
“… .”
It seems that the box cracker explosion was a bigger heartache than I thought. I adjusted my complexion again. Big! It was a long way from becoming a real politician.
“First of all, it is a New Year celebration food. take it.”
“Ohh… New Year’s stew. Don’t eat well.”
Distributed food not only to Kelly Bay, but to everyone at base camp.
Even the NPCs I wasn’t close with naturally accepted it.
I kept spreading this and that, so it can be said that I developed some kind of inner intimacy. After all, there is nothing like a present in a good impression work.
“Big! The broth is good.”
I tasted the stew broth in the place I received it, and immediately stopped Kelly Bay from opening the bottle. stop!
“Have a drink later and accept the equipment request.”
“After giving you something so delicious, don’t eat it right away and ask me to make equipment for you? Where is your conscience?”
Instead of answering, I took out the equipment materials I had brought.
It was none other than the three magic cores of the three Gorgon sisters. All three emitted a brilliant light worthy of an SSR-grade magic core.
As soon as Kelly Bay saw the magic core, she hurriedly removed the saucepan and clung to it.
“No, I just canceled my words. This tastes better!”
Kelly Bay, who immediately switched to blacksmith mode, gulped down her saliva and then turned her wide eyes to stare at me.
“I can make something really great again. What will you make me?”
“Um… .”
I pondered for a moment.
Equipment made with the magic core of the three Gorgon sisters, the highest ranking monsters. The result must have been an end-of-war equipment.
‘Due to the nature of the Gorgon sisters, it would be better to make armor.’
As a rock monster who used to wear petrification, his defense is amazing. In fact, he had made up his mind to make armor without worrying about it.
if it’s a problem
‘Whose Armor?’
We need Lucas’s armor right now.
As expected, Lucas is eagerly appealing that he has no armor.
With a pitiful face, he tightly hugs his upper body without armor with both arms and sends sad eyes to me.
“What are you doing?”
Evangeline asked with a sad expression, but Lucas’ appeal of ‘Give me the equipment’ continued. I broke out in a cold sweat. Mmm.
The black armor sets [Midnight] and [Twilight] that Lucas wore in the past were smashed.
In this battle, it seems that he picked up the remaining equipment in a hurry and wore it, but even the armor was smashed.
The armor of an avant-garde character is equipment that is directly related to life. need to get it right quickly
‘But the equipment of the Gorgon sisters is too heavy.’
It’s a very good material in the game, so I’ve made armor a few times, but it’s really heavy because it’s a stone armor.
Apart from what I can wear, I can’t stop my movements from slowing down.
Lucas is a nimble damage fighter with dramatic mobility. It is not compatible with this overly heavy Gorgon Armor.
Then the Gorgon Armor is… … .
‘I should give it to Thorkel.’
This time, Thorkel awakened his ultimate skill and rose to become an elite tier 1 tanker. This friend is also in a situation where he doesn’t have any armor right now.
It seems that the shield was also damaged a lot in this battle.
It’s not like I’m a character with agile movements in the first place. I think it would be appropriate to wear this and use it as a mobile fortress.
So I ordered a full body armor and a large shield. The magic core was assigned to two armors and one to the shield.
Kelly Bay nodded in satisfaction.
“You know something! good! Let’s get down to business right away!”
Kelly Bay happily ran into the studio holding the magic core.
“… .”
But on the other hand, Lucas drooped his arms and put on a disgruntled expression. It seems that he noticed that what he was making this time was Thorkel’s equipment.
“I’m surprised there’s another blowfish!”
After passing the stew to the other NPCs, Damian saw Lucas’ face and shouted in surprise. From behind, Junior covered his mouth and giggled. Umm… … .
“Hey Lucas?”
“It’s okay, lord… Even without armor, I am invincible. a little hurt… … it hurts… … I may cry, but… … Because it’s your choice… … it’s okay.”
No, it’s not okay at all! You’re even more pissed off than that!
Clap! Clap!
At that time, Evangeline suddenly fully deployed her [Snow White] armor from behind.
In an instant, Evangeline, dressed in dazzling white armor, covered her mouth and laughed.
“oh? My mistake~ Didn’t you wear the Lake Kingdom’s strongest barge, S.No.W.E.T, because you did the wrong operation? Ah~ I guess I’m still full of mistakes~”
“… .”
Then Lucas’ face swelled up.
It’s a blowfish! A huge puffer fish! Blowfish, the protagonist with blonde hair! Just before it explodes!
“Calm down, Lucas. Because your armor is prepared separately!”
I shouted urgently, and Lucas Blowfish shrank in an instant.
As if asking when he was angry, Lucas smiled mildly with his usual Golden Retriever face.
“Whoops. Then it is. I have always believed in you, lord.”
“Is that so?”
“sure. He must have prepared the best armor for me, incomparable to that Evangeline’s antique armor… … I have always had no doubts.”
No, what is that?! Is it okay to put pressure on you?!
Yes, of course, Lucas’ final armor was also considered, but it is impossible to farm right away.
This time too, I was just trying to provide some kind of armor that I could wear appropriately.
“… I can’t help it.”
There is no reward box that can be boxed right away. That said, there isn’t a specific dungeon to farm armor materials for.
“Is it time to write this?”
I took out an item I had kept for a while and took it out of my arms.
It was a magic key that glowed blue. The eyes of the party members, especially the juniors, shined.
“What is this?”
“It’s a magic key that opens the event dungeon.”
It is the [Magic Goblin Room Key].
It is a key item received as an all-clear bonus when clearing the Mage Tower in Area 8 in the past.
After that, I didn’t have the right opportunity to come to the free exploration, so I put it off, but I have to use it today.
Damian clapped his hands.
“iced coffee! Are you going to a place similar to the Golden Goblin room you entered before?”
“that’s right. You remember, Damian.”
I once went into a golden goblin room and farmed an item. Damian sniped all the swift golden goblins.
If the rewards in the golden goblin room are rich, the magic goblin room is where magic items are given.
Basically, it focuses on consumable items, but sometimes drops equipment. Let’s rob here today.
“Grandma Coco!”
As we approached Coco’s magic workshop, we saw Coco pouring today’s stew into the magic pot.
no… why mix it up just catch it… … . Coco winked at me as I broke into a cold sweat.
“Oh, isn’t it the little prince? What are you doing today?”
“Please open the door with this.”
Receiving the key I handed over, Coco smiled silently.
“You’ve picked up something rare again… … Now, I’ll open the door, so get out of the way and look.”
Grandma Coco took the magic key, stuck it into the air beside her, and turned it vigorously. OK.
Charleureuk!
A gap opened in the air, eventually forming an elongated oval magic door. Blue magic particles scatter in all directions.
“Okay guys! Let’s go get the item!”
I jumped into the door first.
Flash-!
***
The magic goblin’s room has the same look and rules as the old golden goblin’s room.
If you defeat the magic goblin in this event dungeon in the form of a wide round dome, the item will be spit out.
If there is a difference, only three golden goblins appeared and they were so fast that it was difficult to catch them unless it was Damian.
Dozens of magic goblins appeared, and they were much slower than golden goblins, so it was easy to catch them.
Instead, there was another difference.
Kiek?!
charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-!
The quality of the items each of these blue glowing goblins was given was not very high.
Most of them sprinkled japtem such as potions and scrolls in an inexhaustible amount. A mountain of japtem quickly accumulated in the dungeon room.
However, since the number was high, the finished equipment items began to drop one by one. We opened our eyes and hunted the magic goblins diligently.
Flash!
The first equipment I got was an SR grade purple Rosario. A Priest-exclusive item that increases Holy Power output.
“Oh, I can give it to Priest Zenith.”
I took the rosario with gratitude.
The next equipment obtained was an R-grade orb and an SR-grade single-edged long sword.
The orb was an option that increased the total amount of horse power, and the long sword had a special ability to increase cutting power when it soaked in the user’s blood.
“Oh, just give me a new chain and no body.”
I quickly got it in my inventory.
The next equipment obtained was various miscellaneous accessories. They didn’t have great abilities, but they were ornaments such as rings, necklaces, and dice that raised stats in small increments.
“oh… I wish I could take care of the gamble club kids… … .”
Since I recruited them, I haven’t given them any equipment… … Let’s take care of the gamble club kids too… … .
Even after that, the equipment fell in excellent numbers.
An axe that Dusk Bringer would like, a longbow and arrow that the Holy Grail Expedition would like, and a melee weapon and leather armor that the punishment squad would like… .
“oh… .”
Sweeping out all the items pouring out, I glanced at it.
“… .”
I could see Lucas swelling up.
The remaining magic goblins in the dungeon were eliminated, but there was still no armor Lucas could wear.
To make matters worse, every time Evangeline picks up a new piece of equipment,
“Huh?! Uncle Lucas! It’s armor!”
“Really?!”
“ah… No, it’s not armor. You saw it wrong. Shoot it~”
while teasing Lucas.
shaking. shaking.
Lucas swells more and more… .
‘no! stop the blowfish! don’t explode! stop!’
It was then.
Taang-!
Kruck!
Damian shot and killed the last magic goblin
and flashed!
A dazzling golden light burst from the item the goblin had dropped.
‘What?! SSR rating?!’
I looked back in panic, but Lucas shouted urgently next to me.
“Did you wear the armor?!”
Isn’t that my line?!
