Episode 100
world of pros.
In that world where countless people compete, even a small variable can make a difference.
As well as the big difference between getting sick and being exhausted.
The temperature of the day or dust on the mouse.
Or a battlefield where slightly long hair could be a variable.
Early on, Fafnir had reached the pinnacle of such a stage.
To see it in such a state.
Kerion’s current appearance was, to be honest, a failing grade.
‘I think I’ve accumulated enough basic skills.’
The eyes are unfocused and the arms are stretched out.
Even if you look at it, you are dependent on coffee or stimulants to survive.
Compared to normal, at least two or three steps had to be viewed as a lower level.
‘In this state, no matter what I entrust, it won’t come out well.’
That is why I gave up without regret as soon as I saw it.
“You seem busy, so let’s go find another blacksmith.”
As Fafnir was about to open the door and leave, Kerion approached.
“Stop for a moment.”
“yes?”
“I was asked, but what would be my face if I just left?”
Kerion, who briefly shook his head and held his spirit, spoke.
“… … Let’s talk. What was it you were trying to request?”
“… … .”
Shall we show it to you?
Fafnir took out Karamit’s Dragon Armor.
“This… … .”
From noble mtl dot com.
“… … !”
Kerion’s eyes widened.
He took the helmet as if snatching it and examined it.
“Do you know who made this?”
“hmm… … .”
-I don’t know. Because back then, I fought for what I was given.
Hearing Karamit’s answer in his head, Fafnir spoke.
“sorry. It’s an armor I got by chance.”
“… … What a great metal. Perhaps the person who made this is a member of the dwarves.”
The black armor of the dragon knight Karamit!
As it was the armor of an immortal class hero, if it wasn’t for the curse, it could have been sold at a higher profit.
“But why… … ? Did it rust?”
“No, I’m going to melt it down and make it into metal.”
After melting the metal to make new armor again.
A plan to possess Karamit and use the armor without penalty!
“What!”
Kerion was shocked.
“Why melt this precious thing! Are you crazy?”
“It’s a cursed armor. What’s the use of even the best armor if you can’t use it?”
“… … Mmm.”
Even if you build a mountain with gold bars, you have to sell them to make money.
At Fafnir’s words, Kerion examined the helmet with a look of understanding.
“You melt this?”
“yes.”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t.”
Kerion shook his head.
The reason was simple.
“The metal is too sophisticated.”
“You mean a blacksmith like you can’t even touch it?”
“Not to that extent.”
Kerion, frowning, continued.
“I can touch it. However, the probability of failure is high and even if you succeed, you won’t be able to do it perfectly.”
As a blacksmith master, he could handle Mithril somehow.
But this is different.
“It’s made of dark mithril.”
“Dark Mithril?”
“It is a metal that is formed when Mithril is corrupted by Dark Mana.”
Kerion explained.
“Mithril itself is not common… … . It is a very rare metal. I can’t handle metal like this.”
“okay.”
“If you want to handle it well, you have to be a blacksmith and have another job… … . Yes, you will need someone who is a shaman, wizard, or cleric.”
Multi-class of blacksmith and other professions.
‘This is at the level of finding someone who is a doctor while performing a complete examination?’
There must be a person in the world, but a person who is rare enough to come out as a news story!
“Or the level of blacksmithing skill is higher than me… … . Anyone who has reached a legendary level will be able to do it.”
“Legendary?”
“For example… … . Like the blacksmith who first made this armor.”
Then dwarves!
What Kerion was talking about was definitely a dwarf.
“The dwarves… … ?”
“Yes, but it will be difficult.”
A level higher than that of a blacksmith who reached the level of a blacksmith skill master.
In fact, I had to find people who would appear only after the 20th volume of the original novel.
“Okay, thanks for the answer.”
Fafnir got up from his seat.
“I’m just… … .”
“wait for a sec.”
Kerion holding on once more!
“Where can I leave it?”
“no.”
“Then wait a minute and see.”
rattle. Kerion, who entered the inner room, came out with a map and a metal cube.
“Take this and go to the place written on the map here.”
“This?”
“There is a blacksmith I know. Once you arrive, hit this cube and you’ll be able to enter. Go and show him the janggu.”
Fafnir quickly understood what was inside.
“Is there anything else I need to do?”
“Yeah, it’s nothing. I wish I could send you a letter of regards. In the meantime, I’ve been able to contact you, but recently, it suddenly hasn’t come.”
Tring!
-Kerion has requested a new quest, ‘Greetings’ (Normal).
-Do you want to accept the request? (Y/N)
‘Does this feel good?’
Fafnil sniffed.
It smelled.
The smell of a great quest!
“All right. I will be happy to pass it on.”
* * *
After leaving the Blacksmith Guild.
Fafnir headed to the next destination without a break.
‘I can’t skip the job quest.’
A back alley full of evil guilds.
Fafnir stopped in front of the building with the bone signboard and looked up.
“You can know the Necromancer Guild as soon as you see it.”
On the bone signboard, if people are empty, that is the Necromancer Guild.
Unlike blacksmiths, knight training centers, and magic guilds, they looked shabby.
‘Still, there are people?’
Unlike the original novel, the evaluation of the Necromancer is not completely at the bottom.
This is because Necromancers such as Fafnir and Baalun became known, and some of the Necromancers who started after that settled down in their own way.
Fafnir tried to look around the guild.
It was then.
“Go away, it’s still too early for you guys.”
Whip. The black magician at the counter was kicking out two users.
“Because we have money?”
“You buy stuff, but why don’t you sell it!”
“When you go to the afterlife in time to buy it, prepare your own money! Get out!”
“Don’t buy, don’t buy! hey. let’s go.”
The user who turned around with a sigh said to Fafnil.
“Don’t waste your time, come out quickly.”
If the guild doesn’t sell things for no reason, it’s definitely a problem.
Fafnil headed to the counter.
“You said you didn’t sell it. The little ones eat more of their mother’s milk and come.”
said the bald man with scars and tattoos brusquely.
“What are you not selling?”
“Everything here. If someone in the middle had those things, they would just get eaten.”
“hmm.”
There were various necromancer equipment and skill books around.
A cursed skeleton staff (magic) or a robe that enchanted the specter (rare).
Some of them seemed to have a unique grade that had an eerie aura.
‘Certainly, there are no users who come here.’
In addition to the basic level, even in the Necromancer class, equipment that can only be handled by taking level 120 or higher.
Most of the users were necromancers as their second job, so it was only natural that they were blocked at the entrance.
“Give me these.”
Fafnir brought Necromancer magic equipment and said.
“Didn’t I tell you, I didn’t sell… … .”
“Even like this?”
Fafnir held up Nihat’s Skull Staff (Epic).
“bloke… … . How dare you say where is this place!”
“Calm down and look carefully.”
“Um… … .”
The attitude of the middle-aged man who was looking at the staff changed drastically.
“To be able to handle staff like this… … . You are not normal.”
“There are also things I would like to ask.”
Fafnir even took out Gould’s request.
“Were you a disciple of Gould? That Gould accepted a disciple. The sun will rise in the west!”
“Is this enough to live for?”
“Everything happens! I was wrong. I saw you just like the other kids.”
The middle-aged man brought a chair and invited me to drink next to the car.
“It would be nice if you could give me information instead of tea.”
“information?”
“The expedition team that found the clue to Lacheln… … . I want to help with the work there.”
“Hmm… … . If it’s a disciple sent by Gould, there won’t be any problems… … .”
Fafnir said with a firm expression.
“The attacks of the Orcs are getting stronger, and the eyes of the people watching the Warlock are getting worse.”
“hmm… … .”
“I want to dispel the prejudice that warlocks are only bad. Please help.”
Get rid of the stigma of being a third-rate non-mainstream.
By beating the flush and getting to the top, I had to prove to the writer that I could do this with this job.
“You can feel the enthusiasm.”
said the middle-aged man.
“It’s an emotion that a warlock doesn’t need, but it’s not bad.”
For hundreds of years, black magicians have been treated with disdain without realizing it.
It was a word that could only make me feel cold.
“good! I won’t allow it.”
The middle-aged man nodded and held out a parchment from his bosom.
“This is a map. The expedition is at the place marked here.”
“thank you.”
“It’s going to be a long way, so you’d better be prepared.”
-You have completed the quest ‘Finding Lecheln’s Trace’ (Normal).
-Experience gained.
You earned -1 silver.
– A new quest ‘Exploration Assistance’ (Magic) has been created.
[Exploration Support]
-Rating: Magic
-target
-Join the Warlock Expedition in Aluin Wilderness (0/1)
-Reward: EXP, information about Lacheln’s magic
-Description: The expedition team, which moved to find the traces of Lecheln, headed south of the Aluin Wilderness. Meet them in the vast wilderness and hear more about their story.
‘hmm?’
Looking at the map, Fafnir’s eyes widened.
‘The blacksmith village is closer than I thought?’
It was like meeting a friend after a long time while going to the grocery store.
‘I’ll have to deal with both of them while I’m gone.’
It would take a long time to return to the city, so I had to prepare thoroughly.
‘The more meticulously prepared for the adventure, the better.’
“Originally, I don’t give this kind of guidance to my business partners from other places… … . Be sure to tell Gould. Warlock Jenkins treated me well!”
“hahahaha, I see.”
“Well, if you’re going, I have one favor… … .”
“yes?”
“They say that deep in the Aluin Wilderness, there lives a legendary monster called Omur. If you ever find him, could you catch him and bring him some blood? Don’t ask where to use it.”
-Jenkins commissioned a new quest, ‘The Legendary Omur’s Blood (Magic)’.
-Do you accept the quest? (Y/N)
No, you’re even asking yourself here?
‘If it was the legendary Omur, it would be the least boss monster.’
It didn’t appear in the novel, but it was obvious that it was quite strong.
It seemed like they were easily allowed to join, but the real intention was to leave that behind!
From noble mtl dot com.
‘If I get closer, I’ll leave things behind and pretend to be arrogant.’
Warlocks are mostly selfish and twisted personalities!
I don’t know the players, but at least the NPCs are true.
Once again, Gould felt like an angel.
‘But I can’t help it this time.’
Fafnir sighed and said.
“All right.”
“Thank you! I thought that if I had his blood, I would make progress in my long research.”
Jenkins grinned and brought out a book.
“I’ll give you this if you bring it.”
“… … !”
Fafnil’s eyes widened when he read the title of the book.
-Lulun’s Arcane Magic: Friction Zero
“It’s a magic book I got from a gambling board before, but there’s nothing particularly prepared about black magic. Is it not enough?”
“I will definitely bring it. Just leave it to me.”
It was too much of a payoff to take away.
‘If he pays the price properly, he’s not shameless, he’s the boss!’
“Removing the prejudice against warlocks… … . Yes, I hope you succeed.”
The dream that every warlock has been dreaming of for hundreds of years.
“What you’ve decided to do, make sure it succeeds.”
“yes.”
With the Necromancer Guild at the end, I was able to finish all preparations.
Now it was really time to start.
