46 – The quest is a flower road (2)
“…?”
The guard, whose drowsiness escaped, immediately pushed himself over the wall.
That moment.
“Throwing shurikens.”
With the sound of words coming from somewhere.
“Yup.”
Flash! Something flew and hit the guard in the face.
The feeling of something sharp tearing the skin of your face.
As it was, the guard passed out as the world became distant.

“Ohh…. Sir Aaron!”
“Kerman. I missed you!”
Aaron and Kerman are reunited in the Conspirator’s Forest. The two hugged each other and talked for a while.
[You have completed the quest ‘Prisoner of Jail’.]
[Intimacy with the dwarf ‘Kerman’ has increased.]
Kerman approached and asked.
“I really rescued you from the fortress called Crait Castle. I can’t believe it.”
“Is there anything else I can do?”
Siwoon asked. He knew even as he asked.
That the next quest will follow.
From noble mtl dot com
By now Crait Castle must have been in an uproar. That the prisoner escaped.
“If it is you, there are more things I would like to entrust you with. We urgently need materials now.”
“Tell me. I’ll sweep it all up and bring it to you in one bag.”
“There are quite a lot of materials you can bring, but I will trust you. Bring me 100 troll skins, 50 red troll bones, and 1 troll core.”
[The quest has been activated.]
[Passion Equipment][Hidden]
Kerman, the Dwarf who lives in the conspirator’s forest, asks you to get the materials needed to craft equipment.
Let’s get the ingredients.
Troll Husk (0/100)
Red Troll Bones (0/50)
Troll’s Core (0/1)
Reward: Kerman’s gift.
Siwoon immediately entered the depths of the troll conspirator’s forest.

-You have killed a troll.
Siwoon approached the troll corpse and leaned over her.
“Gathering.”
As soon as the gathering skill was activated, Siwoon’s hands started peeling off the skin of the troll’s corpse.
Swap- Shuk-
[You have obtained the troll skin.]
‘I just need to find 49 more.’
If you can use the wide-area skill, Crimson Clash, you can catch a bunch of these trolls at once.
That was a little uncomfortable.
I headed for the next target with a short dagger.
“Guuuk….”
“That’s right.”
“That’s it!”
-You have killed a troll.
-You have killed a troll.

[Obtaining a troll shell……………… ]
[You have leveled up.]
About two hours had already passed.
Siwoon, who tediously caught and caught trolls and finished collecting them, reached level 40.
The conspirator’s forest was already past midnight, giving off a gloomy atmosphere as if a ghost would come out.
I didn’t see a single hunter and mercenary hunting nearby.
“Inventory window.”
When I opened the inventory window, there were 102 troll shells already gathered.
It was a tough job.
I’ve been hunting trolls and tearing their skins for two hours this night.
‘Then the bones of the red troll.’
***
-You have killed the red troll.

An hour passed again.
You beat the red trolls in sight.
‘The red trolls are definitely tricky.’
The red trolls were definitely more powerful than the trolls. If he didn’t use Blind Blindness, he gave Siwoon a status ailment called Bleeding, and his leather was harder and his personality was more savage than that of normal trolls.
“Quest window.”
I opened the quest window.
[Passion Equipment][Hidden]
Kerman, the Dwarf who lives in the conspirator’s forest, asks you to get the materials needed to craft equipment.
Let’s get the ingredients.
Troll Husk (102/100)
Red Troll Bones (51/50)
Troll’s Core (0/1)
Reward: Kerman’s gift.
‘I’ve collected all the troll bones, and now all that’s left is the troll’s core.’
Troll cores cannot be obtained from red trolls or trolls.
I had to kill a boss level troll called Trollian to get it.
‘Where there is a trollian.’
First of all, as far as Shiwoon knows, it is in the underpass of the Conspirator’s Forest.
I continued walking deep into the conspirator’s forest.
The trolls that appeared on the way and attacked me excitedly cut them down with short daggers.
“Certainly, when it’s this dark and the faces of the trolls pop up, it feels like you’ve seen a ghost.”
I felt it while hunting. Solple’s advantage was that she could monopolize experience and items, but she also thought that it would be nice to have a party and go hunting sometimes.
After a while,
The stairs entered through Siwoon’s gaze.
‘It’s over there.’
There were two monster-shaped stone statues on either side of the stairs, and the bottom of the stairs led to a very dark underpass.
***
[Underpass of the Conspirators.]
Ttuktuk-
A stalactite fell from the ceiling to the floor. The atmosphere was gloomy itself, and it was so dark that ordinary people could not even see in front of them.
“It’s so eerie.”
The sound of Siwoon talking to himself resonated and echoed through the underpass. After a while, something approached with a squeak.
I heard Siwoon’s voice.
“Queue.”
A spear floated above the monster’s head.
[Black Troll Lv. 60]
‘Black Troll?’
Siwoon looked closely at the monster that waddled towards him.
It’s bigger than any troll I’ve ever dealt with, and its wooden arms and legs are black. In addition, the staring eyes were full of murder than any other troll.
‘At any rate, a troll is a troll. But this isn’t a forest, is it?’
Siwoon looked around and smiled viciously.
I immediately put the short dagger into my waist and pulled out the red languid sword.
As soon as I held the Honglan Sword in my hand, the dark underpass was illuminated by the flames from the Honglan Sword.
“This is an underground road, not a forest, so can I burn it?”
The black troll stretched out its arms and blew a save at Siwoon.
Roaring!
“Aww!”
However, as soon as I gently swung the red-lane sword, the guy’s body started to burn.
Roaring!
“Geuuuh-“
Seeing his own body burning endlessly, the black troll became desperate and struggled to put out the fire. But that’s for a while.
His hides were engulfed in flames and turned to ashes and scattered to the ground.
-You have killed the black troll.
‘Isn’t this crimson sword perfect for a tree-type troll? It just melts, melts.’
The pleasure of burning wood without mercy was very thrilling.
Following,
I could see red eyes on the other side of the underpass. Those eyes were getting closer to Siwoon.
It was the eyes of the black trolls.
“Yes, welcome, welcome.”
Siwoon held the red lantern sword in his back dance and charged in front of the black trolls.
“The First Part of Hongran.”
Roaring!
Kwaaang!
***
-You have killed the black troll.
-You have killed the black troll.
-You have killed the black troll.
-You have killed the black troll.
“It kills the burn.”
My nose was filled with the smell of burnt black troll shells before I knew it. In the underpass, not only the stalactites but also the walls and floors were scorched black by the flames.
Siwoon, who has a unique weapon that is optimal for neck attributes, high strength, and alien-like eyes, was catching trolls much higher in level than himself. He was unimaginable to other hunters of the same level.
“Geuk, guk!”
[Black Troll Warrior Lv. 65]
This time, a guy with a slightly different appearance approached me. He ran faster than the previous black troll, and he had a tupac ax in his hand.
“Anyway, trolls are trolls.”
He swung the red lantern sword a couple of times.
The body of the black troll warrior who entered the radius started to burn in an instant due to the heat effect of the red lantern sword.
Tattatatata -.
It melted in the flames and poured into ashes with a grotesque death moan.
-You have killed a black troll warrior.
***
‘At this point, it’s time for him to come out?’
I walked for 30 minutes in an underpass with no light and only a foul smell.
Something fell from the ceiling and ran around the ground. They were rats living in the underpass.
It was then.
Something huge started to move in the dark ahead.
I thought he was not moving, but it turned out that he was not moving and seemed to have woken up.
‘That guy!’
Siwoon’s eyes shone.
Deud Deuk.
Something gigantic moved his body, and his bones rattled.
[Kuaaa!]
When I heard the powerful roar, I knew at once that this guy was the boss of the underpass. Above all, the size of the guy who stood up was huge enough to cover the entire underground passage from the floor to the ceiling.
“It’s a bit big, isn’t it?”
I was a little nervous.
Because it was much bigger than I thought.
“Kurrr….”
In the pitch-black underpass, a spear floated over his head.
[Lv. 70 Trollians.]
Trollian’s torso was covered with tree branches. Those twigs seemed to act as arms and legs, and the huge leaves growing from the top of his head were full of sewage-dwelling bugs.
‘To extract the core from that bastard’s body, you must not use the red lantern sword.’
That’s right. You can easily subdue him with the Hongran Sword, but if he turns to ashes, you can’t get the core out of the bond through gathering.
I immediately pulled out a short dagger from my waistband.
Poof,
By the time he rolled up his short dagger, the soles of Trollian’s huge feet were already flying toward Siwoon.
***
“He is quite tough.”
Siwoon’s face was full of scratches.
The most tricky thing was that the numerous tree branches sprouting from its torso continued to attack.
There was a limit to cutting all the branches with a short dagger.
The tree branch stretched like a rubber band and reached Siwoon’s face.
After turning his back and dodging him quickly.
“Throw!”
Used the shuriken throwing skill.
A shuriken flew from Siwoon’s arms and hit Trollian’s forehead! Got stuck
“Run.”
Tattatata!
I took advantage of the gap and ran quickly with a low attitude.
Shaak! Shock!
Cut down the tree trunks that block your way,
“It’s been a while!”
Sparks explode from Siwoon’s dagger! While frying, he pricked Trollian’s stomach.
Right!
Trollian groaned and slurped a strange liquid from his mouth.
I didn’t want to give him a chance to suffer.
I inserted the blade of the dagger into the eye of the guy and scraped it down with force.
[Kuaaa!!]
He let out an exhilarating scream.
As I scraped it down, the skins from the eyes to the chin, neck and chest began to open.
As the hard skin covering Trollian’s torso peeled off, the core within Trollian’s body emitted light.
Shiwoon, not missing the chance, thrust his dagger into the side of the core embedded in Trollian’s stomach.
I really liked the taste of the dagger blade stuck into his torso.
[Queueee-]
With the final scream of Trollian, who no longer has the strength to move.
Siwoon cut out the leather around the core to make a space, then pulled out the core with the other hand.
[You have obtained the troll core.]
Thump!
As soon as the core was ejected, the huge trollian fell forward.
-You have killed Trollian.
“All right. Nice.”
***
“Did you bring it already? It’s really fast, fast.”
Kerman asked with surprised eyes.
“I did a little sword dance tonight.”
Siwoon shrugged his shoulders and handed over the ingredients to Kerman.
Troll Husk (102/100)
Red Troll Bones (51/50)
Troll’s Core (1/1)

[You have completed the quest ‘Equipment of Passion’.]
“Amazing. Getting all these things in such a short amount of time….”
Kerman admired the troll’s ingredients as he held them in both hands. Then, looking up at Siwoon, he said.
“But don’t you sleep?”
Siwoon laughed inwardly when he heard the sound. ‘You’re really not that tall since you’ve been awake all day in the conspirator’s forest without sleep.’
Kerman passed something from his bosom to Siwoon.
“It took a lot of work to get the ingredients late at night, this is my gift.”
[You have obtained Kerman’s Gift.]
Siwoon’s eyes widened after receiving the goods.
‘This, this?’
