[Getting Earth Jewel][Quest]
In order to find the cause of the change in the Cton Sewer, get the Jewel of the Earth as the high-ranking wizard Steroian requested. The jewel of the earth is found by chance from a monster that has the energy of the earth.
- Time limit: none
-Success condition: Earth Jewel 0/1
-Reward: Normal experience, 3 silver
"All right."
He told me to get as much as he wanted, but the hints were poor, but it didn't matter. We already know which ones drop the 'Earth Jewel'.
Rokan accepted the quest and immediately left the wizard guild.
"Let's try casting the bait"
However, he did not head straight to the hunting grounds he knew. There is work to be done before that.
"Open trading board."
After shouting the command, a window like a monitor screen appeared in front of him.
There are still people who don't know about it, but internet access was possible even in The Road.
Even though it was only a bulletin board within the homepage, that was enough. Rather, that's why people use the homepage bulletin board instead of a separate community.
Even now, most of the information is circulating on the homepage bulletin board, but in the future, it will become even worse.
"Let's see, because I can't reveal my true identity… … ."
Rokan, who opened a trading board, posted an article saying he was selling the Cemetery under the Moon. Of course, the name or location of the dungeon was not disclosed.
The existence of a secret dungeon that can only be entered through a special method, the level of monsters appearing in it, and the number were simply written down.
This alone can be considered a lie, so I have attached a few screenshots. It was information about the full set of Skeleton Warriors. It's not a set item, but 'skeleton warrior' is attached to each name, so those with a keen eye will recognize it.
"Now, who will bite?"
The transaction price is a private auction. It was a fraudulent article that said to sell to the lowest price among the people who sent him a note, but in the end, those who were caught would be caught. From what I've heard, there are already a lot of people who are collecting game money through real money.
"Shall we go now?"
Rokan, who threw up a controversial transaction like that, moved on with a light heart. Anyway, the auction schedule he posted was until tomorrow. In the meantime, Rokhan was about to break Steroian's quest.
"If it's an earth attribute monster... … He is also him."
The energy of the earth mentioned in the quest was, after all, an earth attribute monster.
It may seem like a floating story to users who do not even have a concept of monster attributes yet, but Rokhan already knew its identity from memories of his previous life.
'There was a time when it was fashionable to steal other people's hunting methods or find out how to attack certain monsters through the memory of the land.'
'Memory of the Earth', which shows the situation that happened in the area again like CCTV, was a basic skill used by the 'Tracker' classes.
Because of that, Rokhan already knew who to get the Earth Gem from.
* * *
"… … drill hand. It is a name without a true surname."
Rokan immediately headed for the outskirts of the city. He visited those who were not protected by the city's fences and made a living by farming on the outskirts.
"Do you have any worries these days?"
"Why not? The crops that I worked so hard for are all being stolen."
What he was aiming for was a drill hand. Like its name, it was a mole-like creature that dug tunnels and stole crops with hands that looked like drills.
'bingo.'
Lokhan, who had figured out its location with a simple keyword, immediately received a quest from the farmer and moved to the area where it appeared.
If you catch him, you won't get much experience or items, but the problem is that the number of earth attribute monsters is smaller than expected.
Setting aside the strength, it was difficult to meet him, but he didn't drop 100% earth jewels either.
So what Rokan chose was quantity over quality.
"Here."
As if he had already been through a lot, Rokhan looked at the small field with only half of the crops left and immediately prepared to catch him.
Buying and setting traps was the simplest way, but I didn't intend to do that. If I didn't get caught in my position, it would be futile. Time was too precious to wait forever.
It's hilarious!
Moments later, crops in the distance stirred and slumped to the ground. the guy came
The chance to catch him was now. The timing to stick your face over a hole after stealing crops. Just in time for that moment, Rokhan shouted.
"Kuhhhhh!"
The guy who was exposed defenselessly in the war cry hardened with his face sticking out over the hole.
After that it was simple. He could have easily dealt with it by splitting or picking up its head and pulling it out.
"oh "
Sok Sok Sok!
Not only it, but also those who were hiding in other holes or moving were affected, and they put their heads on the ground with unfocused eyes.
Kung Tuk Kung Tteok!
Rokhan excitedly split their heads as if catching a mole.
[Earth Jewel][Magic]
A jewel containing the energy of the earth. It has no value as a jewel, but it is a special magical material.
When I cut off four or five heads like that, the thing I wanted came out.
It was the jewel of the earth.
'Are you really a jerk'
The drop rate was neither low nor high, and Lokhan, who had obtained it in an instant, turned around with a smirk.
Anyway, the quest to kill the drill hand was a reward for the number caught, so there was no need to worry about the quest abandonment penalty.
"Yeah, I already got it."
Steroian also made a bewildered expression when he brought the jewel of the earth and gave it to him just a few tens of minutes after he left after receiving the quest.
"Well, that's good. This might give us some idea of their identities. By the way, can I ask you one more favor?"
"Just say the word."
"This time, I somehow knew in advance and dealt with it, but I don't know when they'll release the poison again. So I'm trying to make an antidote in advance according to the improved curse, but I'm running out of research materials. Can you get it for me? You know, I have to track them down as fast as I can."
"yes. What can I get you?"
"An Orc Warrior and Savage's Fine. I think we can find some answer in their vitality."
[Fluttering vitality][Quest]
To prepare for a situation where a more powerful curse might spread, the high-ranking wizard Steroian asked you to get research materials. If it was the blood of an orc warrior and savage with fluttering vitality, there might be some progress in the research.
- Time limit: none
-Success condition: Orc warrior blood 0/1. Savage's Blood 0/1
-Reward: Normal experience, 10 silver, title 'Steroian's Assistant'
This quest was difficult. Because the target itself was an Orc Warrior and Savage.
It is said that they have to hunt because they can't readily donate blood, but Rokhan ran into difficulties here.
It was because of the title effect of Honorary Orc Warrior. Currently, as the reputation of the Orc camp rises to [Trust], Lokhan has a restriction that he cannot gain experience by hunting Orcs.
'It's just that I can't get experience points... … It'll work out somehow.'
In any case, you have no choice but to fight even if you lose your reputation or your title disappears. It was much more beneficial to quickly move up the main scenario than to build a relationship of trust with the Orcs.
"All right."
After accepting the quest, Lokhan headed to the general store first. The 'empty bottles' sold at the general store were originally consumables for alchemists, but he bought a few to contain the blood of the orc warriors and moved on.
"Oh, look at that person."
"Are you trying to challenge the Orc camp head-on?"
"What is the jackpot, must be a bluff. Where are the people who die like that?"
There was no reason to bother catching animals and use dog holes in the yard where they even had the honorary Orc Warrior title. He didn't want to draw attention, but Lokhan, who didn't want to waste any more time, trudged to the front gate of the orc camp.
and shouted as if you came to my house
"Open the door!"
"Chwiik. door, open wait."
Then a signal came from inside. The gatekeepers orcs confirmed Rokan and opened the door of the Orc camp, which had been firmly closed.
Usually they are wide open to fight, but this time it was different.
It opened slightly enough for Rokhan to enter, then closed.
"Uh what is that"
"What, I just wasn't a user"
"Right… … Is there a password or something? What did you just say?"
It was only natural that there was an uproar outside. It was clear that if there was a way to enter the orc camp as if it were my own home, the speed of leveling up would be significantly faster.
Dog holes were limited, and there were many and many people who wanted to enter the Orc camp.
Considering the occasional cut-in and not being able to enter or both being discovered, this was a great opportunity.
"Stay still. I'll try."
In the end, one user who couldn't hold back his greed jumped out. Standing squarely in the orc camp, he shouted in the same temper as Rokhan.
"Open the door!"
What a profit!
And after a while, the door really opened.
Patter!
However, the results were markedly different. First, he became a hedgehog due to the rain of arrows shot by the Orc archers, and secondly, the Orcs who ran out trampled his corpse.
"… … ."
"… … Let's do what we're doing."
No one dared to try any more at that horrific sight.
"Come, Rokhan."
"Honor, Chwiik, Knowing Man."
"What is it, friend?"
In the meantime, Rokhan strode out and reached the shelter of the orc warriors. The barracks in the distance were lit up to see if the Orc fighters had been regenerated, but I didn't bother to check. I wonder if there will ever be another fight.
My level has risen a lot since then, and I think I can definitely win now, but now wasn't the time for that.
"I have a request for you. Can you listen?"
"Please, listen. tell me."
Instead of fighting, Rokhan chose appeasement. This is because if the relationship of trust is broken now, the revised plan will have to be revised again.
Because of that, he honestly asked them for 'a little blood' and the expressions of the orcs changed.
"Warrior's blood cannot be given carelessly."
"right. The only thing a warrior, Chwiik, bleeds, is on the battlefield, Kheung."
With a straight face, he coldly refused.
'Is it a failure?'
To shed blood without fighting is to tarnish a warrior's honor.
'I tried to draw blood in moderation, but it won't work.'
This is plan B.
"Okay then let's do some sparring"
Rokhan's expression changed to that of a demon.
[You have acquired the blood of an Orc warrior.]
Moments later, Lokhan was eventually forced to take blood. He used sparring as an excuse to make an orc warrior crippled, and then took blood from an empty bottle pretending to heal him.
Of course, after that, I bandaged it up to make it better. Because they were still useful.
Perhaps thanks to that, the reputation of the Orc camp was still [trusted], and the title remained the same.
'Yes, it would be nice to execute that plan at this time.'
The next target is Savage. Lorkhan decided to carry out the plan he had only designed.
