91 – World 11. Training in Longevity (3)
next day.
Yesterday, after talking with Karina and doing things until I fell asleep, I ended up spending the night with Yoo Seo-ah and Park Mi-jung.
The next day, two new colleagues came and Yoo Seo-ah and Park Mi-jeong returned to District 1.
The only problem was that you no longer had to put allies into hero cards to access them.
‘It’s not like I’m fighting Kshura.’
The reason the colleagues came in the first place is to prepare for Kshura, who does not know when they will attack.
However, since I had already fought that kshura, there was no need for my comrades to come, but…
“Rest comfortably.”
He only told me to rest comfortably since he had come all the way.
No, he didn’t just talk, he even installed the remaining connectors in the space.
After that, I logged in with the party, looked around the nearby Fort Fritton, and headed to the place where the general manager, Diophen, was.
“Mr. Lee Seong-min. Do you intend to trade magic arrow staffs?”
“It should be.”
As a condition for making a magic arrow staff, I was thinking of being introduced to a person who would teach me the blessing of the goddess I had heard before and how to practice.
He probably wouldn’t refuse.
Because the magic arrow staff is worth it.
“What if you haven’t decided on a deal yet?”
“I have to find out separately.”
Originally, I intended to learn from the person who created the method of volcanic eruption.
However, as Karina said, if you haven’t decided on a deal yet, you have no choice but to learn from the players.
Come to think of it, Karina wondered to what level she had raised her technique.
I thought and asked her.
“Rather than that, what is your seniority level?”
“Me? It’s level 4. It’s the first time I’ve learned how to perform Blade Wind, so it’s not easy to climb.”
“······Level 4?”
After hearing the answer, I opened the status window and checked my seniority level.
【⑦ Other Abilities】
└ Technique: Volcanic Explosion (LV 1)
My volcanic eruption technique was still level 1.
I used it a few times, but the level didn’t rise that much.
‘This means that you have to raise this level to 10 to become a sword master.’
It didn’t seem easy since Karina was also level 4.
Also, after hearing Karina’s level, I looked at Ren, who was next to me, and gave a brief reply.
“It’s level 3.”
“…”
Even Ren is level 3.
Finally, I looked at Muel.
“I learned how to use mana, not how to practice.”
“How to use magic power?”
“Yes. Originally, wizards here learn it.”
It seemed that the seniority law and the management law existed separately.
Warriors learn how to practice, and magicians learn how to operate.
I asked Karina to find out the difference between the two.
“You become a sword master when you reach level 10, right?”
“It doesn’t. It increases the power of the elemental series and increases magic recovery. That’s why magic-type players also learn how to practice instead of how to operate.”
Karina thoroughly replied that the longevity method was better.
‘But Muel learned how to operate it.’
It seemed that everything was invested in the flame cannon.
‘I don’t think it’s bad considering the power of the flame cannon.’
I arrived at the building where the Diofen was, thinking that it would be okay since it was strange that Muel had learned how to practice and fought with his body.
The person standing guard in the building immediately recognized me and said,
“Ah, you are here. Diofen has instructed me to contact you.”
“Can we meet now?”
“Yes. Please wait a moment.”
Judging by the instructions to contact him, it seemed like they were trying to start a deal about magic arrows and staffs.
“How many canes will I ask for?”
When he said something similar to himself, Karina and Muel made their own guesses.
“I would ask for as many as possible.”
“Considering the strength of Fort Fritton, wouldn’t we ask for at least 1,000?”
1,000 is a lot.
It took me about 4-5 days to make 1,000 pieces.
If you make it without sleeping a wink, it’s about two days.
‘The blessing of the goddess must be worth it.’
It was a certainty to trade one way or another.
I was able to enter the place where Diofen was guided by the returning soldier.
“Come on. I can’t find where he’s been all this time.”
It seems that I found it when I went to the Cairo Fortress.
“Because I had some work. Rather, I would like to hear about the magic arrow staff.”
“The princess also agreed to the deal itself. All that remains is to meet the conditions that each other wants.”
Having said that, Diofen took a small breath and put on a serious expression.
They seemed to be concentrating as much as possible because they had to get as many staffs as possible with what they had prepared.
‘It would be difficult for me to ask you to make 2-3,000 staffs, too.’
The size of Fort Fritton was much smaller than the Cairo Fort I was in until yesterday.
The number of guards would be around 3,000 to 4,000 at best.
If I wanted to make 3,000 pieces just to arm all the soldiers, I would have to waste a lot of time.
“What I can present from this side is the blessing of the goddess that the princess has received. I can hand it over to you. You asked for an accessory made from a 4th level crystal again, right? As long as you bring only the ingredients, I give you unlimited production rights.”
Goddess’ blessing and equipment crafting right.
It was those two that Diofen suggested.
Of course, for me who had the magic necklace, the right to make the equipment behind me had no meaning.
‘But the important thing is what comes next.’
How many wands would you want with the two you suggested?
I thought about it and nodded, and Diofen told me the amount I wanted.
“Instead, I want 2,000 magic arrow staffs.”
“Two thousand…”
It wasn’t the maximum of 3,000 expected, but 2,000 was plenty.
‘If I make it overnight, it will take four to five days.’
It literally took 4-5 days to create without access or sleep.
“How is it?”
“I need someone to teach me how to practice in exchange for equipment manufacturing rights. And 2,000 is a little too much.”
When Diophen’s question was answered calmly, he slightly frowned.
“It means that I am handing over the blessings that only royalty have to you. Considering its value, wouldn’t 2,000 be appropriate?”
“The value of my wand must not be negligible.”
“Isn’t it a wand that can be crafted? But there are only three blessings in the kingdom.”
It also seemed that he was not willing to give up easily.
‘Isn’t it obvious that the power varies depending on the number of wands?’
I think it makes sense when you think of it that way.
“By the way, if you’re going to teach me how to practice… what kind of practice did you learn?”
“Volcanic Eruption Techniques.”
Following my answer, Karina told me how to practice the blizzard she had learned and how to practice the red rock that Ren had learned.

Diofen showed a slightly embarrassed face after hearing the practice method of me and the others.
“I can definitely support you as much as a volcanic eruption, but the wind and red rocks seem to be difficult.”
“Why?”
“That’s because it’s not a practice method created in our kingdom. Even so, it doesn’t mean that no one has learned it, so I can introduce you.”
Conversely, the volcanic eruption technique seemed to have been created here in Espe Kingdom.
Then I give in a little bit.
“As a condition, 1500 wands.”
“1500…”

Diofen said a small number of 1500.
Also, looking at Diofen so far, it seemed like there was nothing he could give me except the blessing of the goddess.
‘If you think about it, it’s true that there’s nothing that can be given to me in a kingdom that is in a hurry to survive.’
In addition, he nodded after contemplating whether he had thought of up to 1,500 Diofen.
“Okay, 1500. Then, with those 1500, I will give you the blessing of the goddess and introduce you to someone who will teach you how to practice.”
It was a negotiation that I thought would be longer than expected, but it ended simply.
“If so, when will you give me the wand?”
“If you overdo it, it will take about a week.”
It was probably necessary to reduce the time to connect and make it.
‘Instead, the level will rise by supplying the staff.’
The key was the protection level.
How many levels of blessings will you receive by delivering the staff?
‘I wish I could give you a level 3 blessing.’
Thinking about the 3rd level blessing, I thought that 1500 wands might not be enough.
However, since I had already decided, I decided to check with 1500.
“If it’s a week, I’ll prepare someone to teach me the blessings of the goddess and the exercises according to that period.”
You can prepare in advance.
Conversely, paying in advance was risky.
If I go to the kingdom of Zerden after receiving the blessing of the goddess, it will be difficult for me to do anything.

Deciding to understand without any special decision, I nodded and finished the first transaction.
* * *
A rock citadel near the southeastern part of the continent.
In this place where all the surviving alien races gathered, battles were fought every day.
Of course, it was a battle with the bloody tribe.
“Hoo-wook. Hoo-wook. These wormy bastards…”
The orc, who was about 2 meters 50 tall and had green skin three times the size of a normal person, looked at the ripped beasts everywhere and spoke with disgust.
That’s because every 3-4 days, about 2,000 thugs attacked periodically.
Sometimes, stage 4 individuals came in first, and other times, only avian beasts came in.
Fortunately, I’ve been able to block it well so far, but I felt that my mind and body were constantly getting tired because they attacked every 3-4 days.
“You did a good job in the battle today.”
At that time, an elf approached the orc and said good work.
It was ‘Silka’, the leader of the action leading the few remaining elven rangers.
However, despite Silka’s words of hard work, the orc didn’t even feel much inspiration and brushed the flesh off the axe.
“Aren’t you tired of saying that you worked hard? I will have to do it again in a few days.”
“Because hard work is hard work.”
“huh.”
Instead of answering, the orc looked around.
Considering that the number of dead allies was 20-30, it was no different from a landslide victory.
However, the situation was hopeless when comparing the increasing number of evil tribes with the gradually decreasing number of allies.
“It can’t go on like this. If we don’t gather all our troops and attack the hatchery.”
“No. There is Chemora in the hatchery.”
Chemora was the name of a Tier 5 entity that existed near the Rock Citadel.
“if? Will the answer come out if I just protect the citadel here?”
“There is no answer. So I have a good idea.”
“Good idea?”
When the orc made a puzzled expression at the word “good idea,” Silka recalled what the wind spirit had told her and said.
“Human forces. Among them, we are asking for help from the players.”
