After our little outburst of cool attacks brought to you by Syn and people who's names I don't even know yet, the enemy quickly got out powered and deafened... leaving nothing but Silver Coins behind.
I'm a little disappointed... hell, I might even be frustrated. Not a single important drop? Not even like... something I can use to confirm to myself how they are manipulating people's mind? Damnit... well, at least I have some of my own coins rather than having to leach off of others.
I got 17 total silvers to my name now!
That's... 1, 700 Coppers!
or... 0.17 Gold... but that sounds less impressive.
Well... time to see how high I leveled up.
System?
Level: 9 |
What?
Level: 9 |
Yeah, what the fuck? Why am I leveling so slow? Those were what... level 30? 40? I was zero! Nada! I should at least be in the tens right?
Did they slow down leveling speed overall?
Is it because its an event thing?
Did Quartz...lead a team less then level 30?
Well? System?
I cannot reveal that information yet |
God damn it.
Well, only a little bit longer to the ruins of the tree, its a hike still but at this points we are about 3/4ths of the way through... so, all in all... almost there.
There are chunks of burned wood littered around the entirety of about... a two mile radius of the tree? Well, material is material... if I find something I need more I can always replace it. Besides, Blossom wood is already really good material for staves and such... so this burnt stuff might be good for fire type staffs and such.
Its a stretch... even if that doesn't go well I could probably make a chimera or something out of it. ' Scorched Blossom Dragon ', I can see it now. Almost prophetically. Well, I could be making it right now but... I don't want my methods leaked particularly. I've already shown them alchemical magic and blood magic.
Both are things that really... I'm the only user of. There isn't another battle alchemist, and I haven't seen whether or not there is another way to get Alchemical Magic... and Blood Magic is just... rare? I don't know how... Its fucking awesome!
Maybe its because it yoinks your health? Are they afraid of taking a little damage... well actually that makes sense. There are probably better options that are easier and don't take health for most of the spells.
I still need to finish listing down all the spells... I haven't had much time, especially since... you know.
Well, the tree isn't that far away now... looks like there isn't anyone around for miles! I wonder why Quartz was in that crater... all alone like that.
...
We-
Incoming Call: Quartz |
Huh? He's calling me? Well, that's odd... let's see if he shit talks or not.
Pickup!
" Well, seems your back Crimson... Cobalt... whatever. "
- " True, good to see ya again Quartz. Been well? "
" Friendly as always, even to enemies... yeah. Your Avery alright. I didn't even get enough time to explain myself to you, you killed me ridiculously fast. "
- " Friendly as always huh? I've never treated my enemies that well, did I? Any who... explain yourself? What do you mean? "
" Yeah well... you always paid respect... nevermind, OK so... remember when there was discourse on whether or not you were
charmed? "
- " I don't remember a discourse, but yeah. I think that's what happened considering my fucked up mental being. "
" Yeah, turns out same thing happened to me. I don't even know how far it goes into Origin, but it seems the deeper you are the stronger the... mind washing I guess? I don't remember anything before the charm wore... and only recently did the charm wear off, lucky me huh? "
- " I heard from Ruby that you were one if the guys behind my charming though? How did that happen with you being charmed? "
" Well, I haven't got much info... but it seems that they take in mentally unstable people at low levels and basically brain wash them into perfect soldiers. Personality and all... I probably was a different person huh? "
- " I can't really tell... you are in a call after all, but... from the sound of your voice you so sound more... Calm? "
" Good to know... well, ya did kill me... so I'm outside the event area right now. I could probably scrounge up some more information on Origin. My allies that were with me didn't seem to be charmed... so maybe only important soldiers get the treatment? "
- " I'd think so... any clue on Origin's Hierarchy? I lost all track of that after swapping accounts. "
" Not really, I just know that members that sign up on free will don't get charmed... it seems certain individuals get hand picked for it. I don't know what the criteria or whatever is... anywho... I'll call you again... a week from now maybe? That's about how long you'll take to defeat this portion of Origin. "
- " Portion? "
" Yeah, you know... multiple guilds and such? There is like... 80 registered guilds under Origin. You're only fighting one right now, so... good luck! "
- " Thanks for the Info Quartz... oh and... if you meet anyone from origin who's charmed and has a second account, tell them to swap accounts. It helps! "
" Alrighty then, Crimson. "
Call Ended |
Well fuck. I accidentally... killed an ally? Is he an ally now? Wow... even Quartz was charmed... I can see why Crimson thought everyone might as well if been charmed, but... that leaves out Ruby. Is she charmed?
Not that I care.
Its an ingrained hatred between us now... I refuse to forgive her, even if she wasn't right if mind. She has caused me this grief whether or not she was in control. To that... that... sin. Its unforgivable. Its a sin against humanity... and that sin goes all the way through Origin, I haven't forgiven Quartz... I'll still consider him a scourge...
But... I need to find the root if this, and pluck it.
...
Ahem...
Speaking of Roots, we've finished scaling the tree and are now atop its torn off trunk! There doesn't seem to be much here... but the wood is of really good quality! Especially the middle!
The middle is just... full! Full of just everything you need in wood! This shit will make perfect staffs and bows... chimeras too!
While my inventory is full, there is still so much needed material! Luckily, I have a few assistants... including Flesh Golem who is still alive luckily! Totally... we can carry... about... 600 Tons of the good stuff along with 2 Tons if the burnt material for testing... Flesh Golem is really coming in clutch, he can carry a crazy amount of weight... all I need to do is compress the materi-
Ah fuck.
I can't stop the compression!
I've forgotten... compressing shit like this summons stuff. Well, let's hope its nothing problematic.
...
Its problematic.
