What Rokan was looking for was an event hidden in this dungeon. The name of the dungeon, 'cursed life', refers to a weakened troll, so there must be a culprit who cursed the troll.
Is it a special structure or is the equipment or location unique?
'If I throw it roughly into the inventory, it will take one.'
Not all. What Rokan found was the 'bone'.
The goal is to sift through piles of animal bones piled up throughout the troll's habitat, pour them into your inventory, and find one that appears as 'obtainable'.
[You have obtained the bones of the cursed beast.]
and finally found The medium that cursed the trolls.
The reason trolls are cursed is none other than 'feed'.
Vitality is also related to immunity.
Trolls are not easily affected by curses, but if they can dissolve curses in their blood, they will exert even more power.
The trolls who ate it without knowing it were exposed to the curse, and were in the process of becoming another host and giving birth to a curse.
"I can start over with this."
Thanks to this, Rokan also benefited. The discovery of the mutated monster is the keyword that activates the main scenario quest again.
If you bring this to Malkin, the captain of the Crossroads defense, something will begin to move.
"Let's start with the blood first"
Of course, he had to solve the quests he had received in advance.
Considering the profit that can be obtained from the troll's blood and sinew, it would be nice to sit down and catch the regenerated ones, but I thought that there would be no big difference as all the trolls would be regenerated if I came back after doing a round of quests.
Because of that, the first thing I found was the villa of the mad, no, Baron Truel.
As soon as the baron received the blood of the cursed cave troll, he greeted him with delight and took on the next quest with a reward.
[Recovery of Baron Truel's young daughter 2][Quest]
Baron Truel has asked for your help to save his young daughter. Thanks to the troll blood you handed over, your basic health is restored. Let's get a hot amount of blood before our health drops again.
-Completion conditions: Hot Sheep's Blood (0/20), Thick Sheepskin (0/20)
-Reward: 7 gold
The quest to obtain sheep's blood following the troll's blood. Those who had already received endless research quests could have guessed.
The beginning of a boring series of quests.
But Rokan knew. That this quest wasn't as long as I thought. And that it's thicker than I thought.
'It's also dirty.'
It may be thought of as a tearful denial from someone's point of view, but Lokhan, who knows the truth, only coldly shines in his eyes.
Of course, he had no intention of giving up on the quest. because you want something
I needed to keep a forced smile until I got it.
"It was Devil Ram"
The 'hot sheep's blood' requested by Baron Truel did not mean the sheep as the name suggests. It means Devil Ram, a reckless sheep-headed monster.
"I guess I should say I'm glad it's not Baphomet."
It was funny, but even the level of an ordinary Devil Ram reached 110. Combination skills were mediocre, but there were two of them anyway, and one of them, the light-speed headbutt, was dangerous even for Rokan if hit properly.
The difficulty of the quest was greatly increased.
"Then, shall we start a part-time job as a sheep shearer?"
But he was Lokhan.
Thanks to his level rise two steps after breaking through the troll dungeon, his level was already 105, so there was only a difference of 5 levels.
No matter how much level 100 or more, the ability to strengthen according to each character's characteristics, but this difference was able to hit the joke.
Lokhan immediately started running in search of Devil Ram.
'It's dark on the subject of sheep.'
It was still late at night and it was not easy to find because of his black fur, but luckily Rokhan had night vision. Due to the effect of the searcher title, it was possible to secure enough visibility even though it was deep in the night.
'This is enough.'
With the addition of magic map navigation, it was not difficult to find Devil Ram.
Devil Ram's combination skills are two.
It was a skill to hide behind the fur and prevent a 'physical hit', and a skill to headbutt by charging at the speed of light.
The first one defended only against fists and blunt weapons, so it was as if there was no one, and the second one would be useless if approached before using it.
"Leaf Attack!"
Knowing that, Lokhan jumped up at once and struck Devil Ram's neck. He hopped around, mounted Devil Ram's back as if on horseback, and smashed him in the head with a series of battle axe blows.
[You have obtained the hot sheep's blood.]
[You have acquired a thick sheepskin.]
As if to prove that Rokhan was right, a quest item came in.
Devil Ram had excellent defense even if it was not a combination skill, so it took a considerable amount of time to catch it, but since one of the three hits had a critical hit, it was easier to kill than any other monster I encountered after crossing the crossroads.
And the entire hunting process was captured on video.
The arrival of quest items was temporarily hidden by unmarking it, so those who wanted an easy hunt would flock to it.
'Take it, you bastards.'
But not all of them could suck honey like Lokhan. In order to withstand Devil Ram's tyrannical personality, he must have a tremendous grip like Lokhan.
Otherwise, there was a good chance that he would be crushed and trampled to the ground before he could finish off Devil Ram.
Like that, Lokhan moved between the Devil Rams for a long time and continued hunting.
[You have leveled up.]
You can suck honey properly without any damage, so what a good hunting environment. Lokhan collected all the quest items a long time ago, but continued to level up until morning. She ended up hitting level 110, just like Devil Ram.
'Because I don't have to hurry with the crazy baron quest.'
Of course, if it was too late, the quest had to be restarted from the beginning, but it didn't matter. Devil Ram's blood wouldn't cool down easily, and even if he did it again from the beginning, he would be able to shorten the time as much as he leveled up.
Instead, I headed back to Crossroads. There was a quest item that had to be delivered there as well.
'Time will be tight'
But checking the time is dangerous. At this rate, the quest could not be activated properly and forced to log out. Rokhan hurriedly found the garrison building.
"Malkyn, please look at this."
"This is something"
"It is the bone of a beast imbued with a strong curse. I found it in the cave of cursed life, in the troll habitat."
"Well, maybe that means… … ."
If you pretend, pretend. As an investigator, Malkin immediately sensed the situation. Having questioned why the troll was in the cave in the first place, he was able to quickly turn clues into guesses and convictions.
"If this is true, it is a big deal. If even the trolls are like this, other monsters could be greatly affected as well. Rokhan, from now on, I'm going to entrust you with research on this bone. Can you find other affected monsters besides the trolls?"
"of course."
[mutated monster] [quest]
Find a monster that eats beasts with cursed energy and causes mutations. No one knows what the consequences will be if the mutation deepens.
-Completion condition: Check the mutated monster (0/3)
-Reward: 90 Silver, Crossroad Guard's Spear (Magic)
It wasn't enough for Lokhan to use, but the spear of the Crossroads Guard that came out as a reward was quite usable.
However, the purpose was the main scenario quest anyway. Lokan, who readily accepted the quest, walked out to the shopping district as much as possible and logged out according to the access limit.
"Okay, it's hard every time. Come to think of it, it's time to come out soon."
What Rokan remembered was an upcoming patch. It contains small details, but the biggest point is to drastically alleviate the access limit time only for those who use capsule-type connectors.
If you use a capsule-type connector, you can maintain your health without disconnecting for a long time thanks to the nutrient solution inside it.
Even while playing The Road, my brain recognized it as if I was exercising, so my body could actually get better.
If this happens, people who use general connectors will suffer a great loss, but Falcon, the developer and operator, was brave.
don't do it if you don't like it
'It didn't mean much, though.'
However, if you think about it, many of those who already play hardcore were using capsule-type connectors. Because the sensitivity and reaction speed were a little better.
Rather, what became more of an issue was the launch of another product.
"Oh, here you go"
Rokan, who searched just in case, found what he was looking for. It was a suit exclusively for capsule type connectors.
Currently, capsule-type connectors filter and purify the user's feces and urine through their own strainers and filters, but no matter how much, the unpleasant feeling remains. For this reason, the nutrient solution had to be replaced periodically, which was not easy.
However, a dedicated suit was released along with an access restriction mitigation patch.
It is to be worn as an integrated top and bottom, and it prevents contamination by feces and even purifies itself inside the suit, so at least the contamination of the nutrient solution could be prevented, and it served to increase the exercise effect on the body by giving electrical stimulation.
As soon as Lokhan found it, he ordered two pairs with plenty of time and immediately downloaded the video from the capsule.
It had to be edited to get the most attention before the others got to the tertiary city.
* * *
"Okay, I guess I'll have to find an editor soon."
Thanks to the need to finish editing the video quickly, Youngmin, who couldn't sleep properly while the access timeout expired, uploaded the video while acupressure on his throbbing head.
There are two videos in this video.
One was about clearing and attacking the first dungeon in Crossroads, and the other was about how to hunt for honey in the beginning.
'Follow me if you can.'
Of course, if you recklessly follow both videos, the level will go down, but at least in Rokan's video, honey doesn't seem to have that kind of honey.
Users who have seen this and entered the Crossroads will not even know it is a trap, and will only go out after challenging it.
However, he couldn't blame or curse Rokhan. Wasn't Lokhan demonstrating so easily? If I told others, it was clear that they would only hear 'blame your control.'
That's how Young-min threw a rice cake that people would go crazy with again and logged on to The Road.
"Why, why not sell it! Because I have enough money."
And I had to cover my ears because of the high-pitched voice that resonated with the connection.
'user '
A new entrant has already appeared in Crossroads.
'I thought it would take a day or two more... … .'
It was faster than expected, but not very fast compared to the previous life.
Considering avoiding a level 100 monster with a high level of difficulty and catching it with a tough one, or if a group rather than an individual moved to collect information, it was enough time for someone to arrive.
However, everyone was deceived by Lokhan's false information and stayed at level 99 aiming for 'better rewards'.
Now, there will be those who get used to the patterns of the monsters and overcome them.
'It's definitely a half-elf to start with.'
As soon as Rokhan realized the situation, he hid himself and watched them. He weighed the race and class and nodded his head. The group making a fuss in the store with a neat appearance were warrior-type users made up of half-elves.
