Episode 537. Red Flame Linked Quest (2)
The raid ended so neatly.
Only the powdered and scattered Creed and the players staring blankly at it remain.
“I won.”
“I’m so dumbfounded I have nothing to say. Is this real?”
“I’ve heard that it’s great, but seeing it for real is on a completely different level.”
Awe beyond admiration.
It is unbelievable that it is the same human being.
In particular, Lee Tae-min was opening his mouth as if he was not at all dumbfounded.
If a person became a carp, it would feel just like that.
“Ton…Tongue uhhh?”
“Brother, no, that ability…”
Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa alternately pointed to Jin-hyeok and numerous magical engineering weapons.
Doesn’t the person who died just a moment ago wake up fine as if he had slept soundly?
The ability that he has learned to die… No, isn’t it dealing with a tremendous level of magic engineering that is incomparable to that?
Everything was so absurd.
‘It seems that all my efforts are being denied…’
Among the players, he was praised as a ranker, and he was proud of not being pushed by anyone when it comes to magic engineering.
However, such modest pride has all been shattered from now on.
‘As expected, hyung is a monster…’
To be honest, I thought it would be good for my mental health to just assume that it’s outside the standard and not compare.
“brother.”
“huh?”
“Don’t touch Taekwondo.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Anyway, don’t touch it until there. really can’t Understand? Please…”
Yoo Yeon-hwa also hurriedly tried to protect her rice bowl.
“Ahem. Luggage is an ability and a skill as much as the contractor wants, and they can take it all.”
Ellis was the only one who maintained a completely unguarded attitude.
Right then.
[The boss monster ‘Nano-Leaf’ makes another suggestion.]
The owner of the ruins spoke to you once again.
Unlike before, the red color was much paler.
There must have been a great change in his heart as he watched Creed being destroyed.
“I am listening.”
Jinhyuk nodded his head toward the air.
[A situation where each other is exhausted and the damage is great. How about a three-day truce? I will add that I will activate the gate to the outside with the authority of the boss monster.]
Was it like that as expected?
The directing was overdone, and the effect came out beyond expectations.
Even the Nanoleaf wanted to avoid the immediate fight.
Of course, you don’t have to take such a suggestion straight away.
“Hmm. I don’t know why I have to listen to that. If you go all the way inside while your body is relaxed, you don’t have to waste time, right?”
In fact, unlike what I said, if you give me a break, there is nothing wrong with this side.
The rest of the players who were stuck like lumps had to be slowly separated.
However, showing a weak side is poison.
If you’re going to rest, it’s better to tear off as much as possible.
[…]
After thinking for a while, the nanoleaf opened its mouth again.
[He said that he would give ‘Igni’s Flame Stone’ in return if he fulfilled his requirements.]
This time, it was Jinhyeok’s turn to be surprised.
I thought I’d present something exciting, but…
…I never thought it would be ‘Igni’s Firestone’.
This is the moment when you can get one of the essential items for a chain quest for free.
Jinhyuk tried to calm his trembling heart.
It was a bonus that he managed his expression properly.
“Kuhm! Big…well, not a very bad condition. Even if it wasn’t, I wanted to gather all my strength and take on the challenge again. Because raiding ruins requires proper treatment.”
Jinhyeok coughed and reached out his hand toward the red stone that appeared in the air.
Hot.
As the stone touched my palm, I could feel the heat.
[Igni’s Fire Stone]
Difficulty to obtain: S
Description: It is part of a chain quest, and those who possess this Fire Stone can relieve hostility when first encountering Igni. Intimacy with all fire spirits is also increased by 25%.
good.
With this, he bought three days and at the same time obtained the flame stone.
⁕⁕⁕
A pylon in the center of Refloor.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
“Cool… Cool!”
Currently, two wise men were trembling in fear.
“…so. In the end, stupid Johannes and the Guardian died, and Nanoleaf rolled up its tail and let them go.”
Pendragon expressed uncomfortable feelings.
Creepy!
There was an illusion that the ambient temperature had dropped by about 10 degrees.
“Ah, I guess… I think something went wrong. If you give us one more chance…”
“Yes! you’re right. I will make up for it this time, so please take your anger away.”
Even the two sages who practically controlled Reflor had no choice but to be frightened.
It was because the dragon in front of me was a different dimension among dragons.
‘Black Flame Dragon’.
A title that can only be obtained by reaching a new rank among ancient-class dragons beyond their lifespan.
One of the ancient dragons, the Black Dragon, was the absolute leader who reached the pinnacle of its clan.
Pendragon slowly scanned the two wise men.
“no.”
Words that come out of your mouth are the worst sentence.
“Your role ends here.”
I drew the line that I would no longer trust idiots.
“Now wait…”
“No no no…!”
Ulkara and Pradok jumped up from their seats.
The desire for survival dominated his head as he saw the black flame right in front of him.
But it was too late.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
“Quaaaaagh!”
“Aaaagh!”
A fireball that engulfed the whole body in an instant.
No matter how hard he struggled, the embers would not come off his body.
A musty smell filled the room.
that buck
Pendragon crossed the gap between the two sages who were being burned alive.
“I should have moved myself right away.”
I thought it would be enough even if I didn’t have to use my hands
.
It would be much better this way than to trust the stupid upper-class deities and others.
‘It’s a new ancient species…’
Pendragon’s head was filled with only one black dragon that Jinhyeok was taking with him.
Unique strange magical power and the deep presence inherent in it.
It must have been an ancient species, one of the same kind as himself.
He also doesn’t know what his real name is.
⁕⁕⁕
Coming out of the ruins, Jinhyeok went straight to the workshop where the magicians were gathered.
It was to meet the halfling ‘Isaac’, who started the linked quest, and the blacksmith ‘Orun’, who contacted him to come back within an hour.
bang! Daang! Quaang!
Roaring!
The hammer moves and thick flames rise.
The 10-floor workshop was filled with numerous magic engineers.
Jinhyeok followed the stairs to his personal studio on the third floor.
I was sure it was somewhere around here….
right then.
“uh? Player Kang Jin-hyuk!”
Isaac, who found Jinhyeok, waved his hand at once.
“You didn’t interfere with my work, did you?”
“yes yes. I was just about to take a break. lol. How have you been? I heard that you are going to raid the ruins, but you came back sooner than expected?”
“I was able to relax for a while because things went well. Anyway, why is Old Man Orun hiding there? Can you see all the butt?”
“Kuhm! greatness! Did you see it all again… It’s not that something fell on the floor for a while and I was just picking it up.”
“Of course, the coronation has been fixed, right?”
“That’s… I mean.”
“If it hasn’t been restored yet… that’s really disappointing. And if I’m really disappointed, I lose my reason…”
Jinhyeok’s voice cooled down.
The dagger taken out of the subspace gave off a cold anticipation.
Orun swallowed dry saliva.
“Just one week, no, only three days… hee! No, give me one more day. Just one day! Then I’ll hang my head and restore it!”
“Are you sure it was a day?”
Jinhyeok started the timer.
The clock around Orun’s neck started ticking.
Exactly 24 hours left.
If it failed, the time bomb attached to its neck would automatically explode.
“Hey!”
Orun, whose face turned white, quickly ran to the forge holding a hammer.
Once again, the motivation of the workers was raised, so now it’s time to deal with the related quests.
Jinhyeok took out ‘Igni’s Flame Stone’ and handed it to Isaac.
“Whoa!”
Sparks flew in Isaac’s eyes.
Seeing rare items that are not common, of course, craftsmanship is bound to burn.
“Combine this with ’25 mg of Salamander’s blood’, ‘2.5 Arks Shop roots’, and 12 Esta recognition circuits with a grade 3 ruby crystal ball. The fusion reaction won’t come out well, but I believe that the magic engineer will handle it well with sense.”
“Uh…”
Isaac blurted out, embarrassed.
“That Kang Jin-hyuk player? This combination method is very novel, but I don’t think we can just throw away all the ingredients if we do it this way.”
A combination I’ve never seen before.
The way to raise the flame attribute to the limit was so attractive, but the risk was also ridiculously high.
Even if it was a detailed calculation, the probability of failure seemed to easily exceed 90%.
In particular, since the raw material, ‘Igni’s Flame Stone’, was at stake, taking a gamble like this was no different from madness.
but.
“I’ll ask you like this.”
Jinhyuk only smiled confidently.
Isaac tried to say more, but his lips were closed.
‘That person is different.’
Recognize your talents that no one else has known about. In addition, the players and even the residents go through the chain quests that they could not even dare to dare.
A realm of monsters you can’t even dare to imagine.
Because of this…
…I thought that even such a ridiculous request was not unreasonable if it was Jinhyeok.
The worry didn’t last long.
“yes. Please leave it to me.”
Isaac immediately prepared the items needed for the assembly.
Whoops!
The items began to merge into one with the splendid light.
how long has it been like that?
Isaac’s body was drenched in sweat.
His limbs trembled after 10 hours of high-intensity labor.
“If you mix this here…”
As the intermediate ruby powder fell into the furnace, bright colored smoke rose.
The final process of the combination ceremony is over.
pounding! pounding! pounding!
Isaac looked at the furnace with worried and expectant eyes.
Until now, exclamation came out several times at the combination ceremony that was naturally connected like water flowing.
If other magic engineers saw this.
No, even the sages in the Crystal Tower would have salivated from their mouths if they had seen this process.
To that extent, the combination formula Jinhyeok informed was perfect.
just in time for that moment.
[Successfully obtained the 15th linked quest ‘Fire Piece’!] A
colorful status message appeared indicating success.
at the same time.
[The 16th linked quest is created.]
A status window indicating the long-awaited second half also appeared.
“Wow! That’s Okay. It really happened! Oh my God, how the hell do you know magic engineering so well? I’ve seen a lot of different things, but this is really…innovation itself…uh?”
Isaac’s pupils, which had been making a fuss, suddenly widened rapidly.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
A huge fireball visible outside the window.
On the 33rd floor, more powerful magic than any magic I had ever felt was being activated.
Targeting the entire workshop.
