Episode 119. Pre-briefing
High Orc Garrison Ceremonial Altar.
In front of the altar, as usual, many high orcs were huddled together.
And several captain-level monsters roaming around.
“Mister. Are they really cool?”
“Serious. High Orcs can’t compare. First of all, it’s named.”
“Are you stronger than the ruined ancient king’s castle boss you hunted yesterday?”
“No. It’s not that much. It’s still a nightmare dungeon. But even with several of them attacking at the same time, the difficulty rises dramatically.”
“Really?”
From the scout captain and assault captain to the shaman Karumina.
As a result of checking Lemon’s monster appraisal, there were as many as five named monsters guarding the altar.
But they are not on my mind at all.
Those small pikes can be dealt with by any party of adventurers who survived after entering the Nightmare Dungeon.
‘But that guy is on a different level.’
A special monster that appears every 15 days when the sun rises and disappears again when the sun goes down.
World Raid Boss recommended for at least 24 players.
Galutea, the high orc priest.
He’s even more annoying than the strongest bosses in Nightmare Dungeon.
Since he’s recommended for 24 players, considering that he’s only one party, he’s incomparable to begin with.
As a large-scale raid boss, the frequency of skill use is enormous, and he often uses wide-area magic, and even that, he uses large-scale magic that covers a radius of about 100 meters, not just a part of the area.
There were so many people who came to see the raid boss for nothing and got caught by mistake and died.
“Thank you.”
Just as I was thinking about the old days, someone approached me from behind.
“Brother?”
He was a hairy older brother.
“Why are you doing that all of a sudden. The raid hasn’t even started yet.”
“No. Thank you so much man. I never thought you would bring the Alchemist personally.”
“Ah, Michael? It’s just a coincidence, a coincidence.”
As if he was concerned about talking about himself, the person in the vicinity came over and greeted the hairy older brother.
“Nice to meet you. Long time no see. I’ve heard about circumstances.”
“Ah, yes. Thank you very much, Alchemist. I never thought I would be raiding with the Alchemist…”
The hairy older brother looked at Michael and greeted him politely.
The world is so small.
I never thought that alchemist would be this alchemist.
‘It’s a very good thing from my point of view.’
Michael seemed to like our party and wanted to be included as a fixed member while giving up the amount of 300 million won.
Using that as a pretext, I was able to hear a lot of unknown information about alchemy from him.
Of course, I don’t think I’ve divulged all the valuable information.
But I knew one thing.
‘You mean 5 to 20 at a time?’
A minimum of 5 Elixir and a maximum of 20 are completed when crafting once. He
Of course, he said that he often lost all the materials due to a complete failure in production, but Michael himself has already transcended such a realm.
So, if you can collect all the ingredients, you can secure at least five elixirs.
But that number was not enough for one party, so he said he needed me to make as many as possible.
From noble mtl dot com
‘I thought it was just a cloud-catching rumor, but luck really works…’
The number of final production results depends on the luck level.
Michael said he proved it through an experiment.
Intelligence determines the probability of successful crafting, and luck determines the amount of output after successful crafting.
“At least that’s the case with alchemy. I’ve experimented with it. I can guarantee it.”
It is said that he invested a huge amount of money to prepare the lucky equipment and experimented with it himself.
However, in order to wear the equipment, you had to take off all the existing equipment with intelligence, so it was rather a loss because there were cases where production would fail.
What appeared at that time was the existence of the country.
Michael’s conclusion was that the only way to significantly increase his Luck while wearing intelligence equipment was the buff dish he had made.
Even if you eat my cooking, you can secure a huge intelligence stat, so you have already started crafting using lucky equipment, and as a result, you have made great gains in general potion production.
That’s why he decided to follow me and donate a huge amount of potions to the territory in time for this demonic invasion.
‘A lucky dish…’
Until now, I didn’t feel the need, but Michael’s remarks were a very good hint.
I had an expectation that if I made and ate a dish that would increase my luck by hundreds of points, the probability of an excellent or luxury dish would also increase.
‘If a lot of Elicers are made thanks to my cooking, I can just ask for a few bottles, right? Is it great? ‘Kuh-kuh.’
“Leader. Why are you suddenly smiling?”
“Sure. Why are you laughing? That’s very evil.”
“Huh? Ah, no, nothing. More than that, what’s the reason we’re here?”
There is a reason why I took the time to visit the pixel orc field, leaving behind the Nightmare Dungeon that I had been attacking non-stop for the past two days.
“Have you got one?”
Miss Hana has not been able to walk since she got into an accident in the dungeon.
Hairy brother’s little sister needs an elixir, and we gathered here today to collect the ingredients.
“I’m at home. It’s always like that. I’ll stop by once when today’s work is done well. He always talks about you. These days, he says he’s going to cook too. The kitchen is very messy when I go home.”
“hahahahaha. I’ve cooked a week’s worth of food for him to eat.”
“Yes. Thank you.”
This is the end of our greetings.
From now on, we must start preparing in earnest.
Thorough planning is the only way to succeed in a raid without loss of life.
“But, is this all about the number of people?”
“Yes. Why?”
“No… Raids require at least 24 players. Especially, those world bosses must be level 80 or higher.”
“Oh, don’t worry. It won’t run out of firepower at all.”
What is needed to deal with the priest is not a lot of high firepower.
We need people who know how to attack, thoroughly follow the plan prepared in advance, and respond immediately to the command of the raid leader according to the variables.
Of course, the more people there are, the more difficult it is to control them.
As long as it is impossible to fight after dying and then resurrecting, a small number of elites are much more stable.
‘This is enough firepower. Because I have my own food. And…’
“Taemin is the leader of this raid, right?”
“Yes. Are you uncomfortable?”
“No, not at all.”
Everett Lowell looked at me and smiled broadly.
He asked for help from his hairy brother, but he didn’t like it.
But I’m not a child enough to bring out my petty feelings and ruin my mood.
“I’m rather looking forward to it. What kind of command Taemin will do. All of us, Angelic Slime, will strictly follow Taemin’s orders.”
“Ah… I’d appreciate it if you would.”
The hairy brother is surprised by Everett’s respectful attitude, widening her eyes.
Then he stood in front of me and bowed his back.
“Thank you. For the help of great people like Angelic Slime… I don’t know how to make up for this…”
“No. Our conversation has already ended with Taemin. We decided not to touch any loot in this raid.”
“Yes?”
“I decided to get something nice instead. Isn’t that right, Taemin?”
“Yes, what.”
What can I give you?
As always, I was coaxed into cooking.
‘A high oak dish for 100 people was cheap. Although I decided to hand over five more a la carte dishes.’
Item drops are luck, but considering the value of some of the loot from the World Raid Boss, it was really cheap.
About 10 million gold for 100 servings based on the Lucky Land auction.
With a generous portion of dishes, the cost of cooking is tens of millions of gold.
A party that includes the master of a huge guild that is perfect for Demon Slash.
Even considering the cost of bringing the strongest party to and from the Abyss as a mercenary, it was almost free.
‘I went to the demon slash guild yesterday and got some money, no problem.’
“Hey, Chef. But can we really sit here?”
Rudy’s group, who had been hunting by High Oak Moll with Mumu and Melissa, approached.
The party must have added one member that was lacking, and now it has become a five-member party.
It looked like he was still level 60, but that was only natural.
Our children are growing abnormally fast.
“Uh. Instead, you should strictly follow my words. He’s that dangerous.”
“I know. I almost died last time.”
“But don’t be too scared. You’re stronger than then, right?”
“Yes!”
Confident voice.
“For now, your party will only focus on ranged attacks. It’s unfortunate for you as a tanker, but I can’t help it. Oh, the hairy brother will also join the party.”
“Yes. I’ve heard that before. So I brought a bow too.”
A party of angelic slime.
A party with the hairy boy and the little ones.
And our party occupies the last spot, so we plan to start the attack with a total of 18 people.
‘Shall we start soon?’
Since everyone had finished shouting, I called everyone together.
Ah, before that, I took out the stalls and tables and finished the setting.
“I’m going to start the briefing on this raid. Everyone, please take a seat.”
Everyone took their seats and sat down.
I took out the food I had been saving and distributed it.
“Mumu, take care of Melissa.”
“Yes!”
With the help of the two girls, dishes were placed one by one in front of each of the 18 people.
All dishes are super rare with the modifier ‘excellent’.
“Enjoy your meal and listen. It may look a bit complicated, but you just need to thoroughly remember your role. The most important thing in this Priest Raid is not to let it go into a ‘enrage’ state. Understanding this mechanism is key. That’s the key. When you attack him, you’ll sometimes use a special shield called the Burning Barrier, but at that time, everyone has to stop dealing. …”
I could feel everyone focusing on my story even though they were all intoxicated with the taste of the food.
We will definitely win.
Without sacrificing a single person.
