Episode 27
growth item.
These, which are rare in Horizon, are sold to users at exorbitant prices once they come out.
However, users who have seen the specs are usually disappointed.
First of all, it is difficult to make, and even if it is made, it is only slightly better than unique equipment of the same level.
However, the true value of growth items is revealed when the level increases.
-Obtaining high-level equipment＞＞＞＞＞Overkill＞＞＞＞＞＞ Growing growth items now
＞This is ㅋ ㅋ
＞Aren’t rankers just messing with growth items?
Equipment suitable for a high level is hard to obtain even if you give a thousand gold.
But what if you raised the growth item from a low level?
‘It’s like getting the highest level unique equipment without spending any money.’
Of course, Fafnir refused several times.
However, the will of the lord did not change.
“My family is a wizard, so this seal was only dusting in the room. Write for the war against the Orcs, and for the Kingdom and its people. Even the female knight sealed in this seal would want that.”
At least there is no risk of getting burned if you eat this later.
He was forced to accept the quest to go to the capital, but that wasn’t such a big deal.
“The capital is further north from here.”
Since the Orcs’ agitation event was approaching, they had to hurry.
‘Give summoning orders to No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and Bell through the status window… … . I have to go up too.’
It’s time to use the stronger net from hunting hard.
Fafnir also contacted Hilde.
-Fafnil: Mr. Hilde.
-Fafnil: Are you okay now?
-Hilde: Yes?
-Fafnil: I have to go to the capital for a quest.
-Hilde: I’ll go with you! Are you in Byron now?
Before even talking about the main topic, Hilde’s reply came.
‘He owes a lot to Hilde-nim.’
Just like last time, it would be safe if I went with Hilde this time too.
“Then I… … .”
Fafnil used seals.
– Activated the seal.
-Guardian Knight Penelope’s spirit has been summoned.
What appeared in the light was a tall female knight with long blond hair tied back like horsehair.
‘oh my god.’
Fafnil’s eyes flashed open.
‘The fact that it’s a growth-type item is amazing, but it can even communicate with summoning humanoid servants?’
Being able to communicate is a huge plus.
Because it meant that it could be used for complex plans, strategies, and strategies that had to be matched.
Moreover, since it is a growth type, the possibility to become stronger in the future is endless.
‘This is only the King Noda district among the total bonanza.’
It’s not as good as Bell, but it feels like it.
In the meantime, the formed female knight got down on one knee.
“Knight Penelope, I intend to do my duty to my new lord.”
“Ah, please take care of me.”
Fafnir held out his hand.
I want to cheer for joy inside, but it’s a bonus to show a serious look.
From noble mtl dot com.
But at that moment.
“Ugh… … ! Necromancer!”
Penelope’s face contorted as if she had seen a bug.
“How dare a necromancer or something like that call me my lord, what kind of blasphemy is this!”
“… … .”
“… … Heck, I’m sorry. I made a mistake.”
-Penelope’s affinity decreased by -50.
-All Penelope’s stats reduced by -20%.
-Penelope is a noble and strong-willed knight. Her upright character, who devoted her whole life to protecting the weak and devoted to the kingdom, does not easily tolerate those who follow evil spirits.
‘This may be more of a nuisance than I thought.’
If it was level 100, it wasn’t that strong as a knight.
But it’s not easy to deal with it at will.
‘I guess I have no choice but to grow them.’
It hasn’t been long since we broke up, but I miss Bell and No. 1, 2, and 3.
Fafnil’s sigh deepened.
* * *
north gate of the city.
Fafnir joined Hilde and headed to the capital.
“wow… … . How is this deal?”
Hilde, who met again, was surprised in three parts when she saw Fafnir.
“Fafnir-nim, you’re on the same level as me!”
First of all, Fafnir’s level has grown to the same level as Hilde’s.
“The person next to you… … . High-level user?”
The second time I was surprised to see the article next to it.
“yes? A warlock in an orc event? And even Bane-sama?”
It was the third time I heard what happened while Hilde was unable to connect.
“and… … . Did you enjoy it all by yourself while I was gone?”
“sorry. I should have taken Hilde-sama along too, but the situation is so urgent.”
At Fafnil’s apology, Hilde waved her hand with a smile.
“Oh, I was just kidding. Please introduce them later.”
“… … All right.”
‘I think it would be better not to accept it.’
It was when Fafnir thought so.
“Thor’s monk, is it all right for a moment?”
Penelope called Hilde from a distance.
Hilde, who asked for forgiveness for a while, followed Penelope, and Penelope asked.
“Are you close with the author?”
“yes? hmm… … . How many days have you been together?”
“… … Right. If so, may I ask you to explain the author?”
Penelope is a person who lived a long time ago, in a time of strife.
At that time, necromancers were just enemies of mankind who couldn’t get permission like now!
But Fafnil was different.
I thought he was a heinous necromancer, but he was an errand boy for the lord.
“But first of all, since I am the owner, I want to know if I am a person worth serving.”
“aha… … .”
Hilde was pure in a good way, but he was a person who couldn’t wrap it up in a bad way.
If Fafnil knew, he would have stopped it somehow, but now Fafnil is moving from the front!
“Fafnir-sama… … . Well, first of all, it’s calculated.”
“Are you giving priority to calculating profit and loss?”
“There is that too… … . After all, there are times when we are hunting monsters, and that was the scariest time!”
“hmm… … .”
“Even though I make them rest, I never rest by myself, catch monsters, and help people well. You said you subjugated orcs not too long ago… … .”
Hilde continued to speak as she remembered.
“I heard about the Orc subjugation. It’s the first time I’ve heard of anything else.”
“He’s a better person than I thought, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
Penelope stayed still for a while, then nodded slightly.
“… … I get it.”
Immediately returned to Fafnil, Penelope said.
“There, Necromancer.”
“… … ?”
“I heard about it from Thor’s monk. They acknowledged you.”
“Recognition?”
“that… … they say. Of course, that doesn’t mean I acknowledged you as my master. Ugly, dirty… … Necromancer.”
Penelope draws a line with a cold voice.
“… … Still, you don’t seem to have been stained with darkness to the root, so I’ll at least listen to you.”
-Penelope’s affinity has increased by +2.
Fafnir tilted his head at the message.
-Fafnil: Mr. Hilde.
-Fafnil: Did you talk about something?
-Hilde: Yes?
-Hilde: Oh, no! Didn’t talk much! I didn’t say anything harmful! You asked me something, so I just answered honestly… … .
-Fafnil: … … ?
The question went deeper.
* * *
Fafnir’s party headed for the capital on horseback.
A boring schedule where all you have to do is run the horse.
However, even while Fafnil was still, he was secretly busy.
-Fafnil: I have a long quest, so don’t wait for me and hunt with three people.
-Bane: I see.
-Sihyeon: Wow, you said you were going to the capital right then? Did you just eat and play games?
-Siyeon: Have a good trip!
Send a message to the other three.
– Let all four of you move near me. Don’t join right away, follow me a little further away.
I left the homunculus and skeleton soldiers behind in case Penelope might go crazy.
‘This should be no problem.’
Thanks to the borrowed horse, I have plenty of time in my schedule.
Fafnir was finally able to put his mind at ease.
It was then.
“Necromancer.”
The former Penelope has returned.
“It sounds like a fight.”
“A fight sound?”
“Yes, multiple monsters are attacking one person.”
I didn’t bring it out myself, but it was obvious what it was.
‘There’s enough time, so there’s no problem.’
Fafnil said.
“Then I’ll go get it. Hilde-sama, are you okay?”
“Yes, if there is someone in trouble, of course we should help!”
Hilde readily agreed.
Well, that’s why he became a monk.
“Let’s go, where does the sound come from?”
Saying so, Fafnir summoned the Skeleton Soldier and Bell.
‘I think it’s better this way than not fighting with all my might, pretending to hide it.’
My instinctive intuition told me so.
“This way.”
As I headed towards the place where Penelope beckoned, I soon heard the clashing of weapons and clattering noises.
As we got closer, we saw a battlefield.
Kiki Kick! Kiik!
“Take and kill!”
Wow!
“Protect the employer!”
About twenty men and women surrounded three or four wagons.
Hundreds of goblins of various colors were drooling around them.
[Bloodthirsty Bite-tooth Goblin]
[A goblin from the Red Meat Tribe who survived being struck by lightning]
All of them are not ordinary goblins, but special species with full titles!
‘If I went into this blindly, I’d be like a beggar.’
Fafnir’s eyes scanned the surroundings.
Seeing this, the merchant in the upper middle raised his hand.
“Sah, save me! Guys! I have a quest! Please help me!”
Looking at the quest, the player was right.
At the same time, other merchants and escorts looked back at Hilde and Fafnir in unison.
Goblins, of course.
“… … this.”
“Sah, it’s a person!”
“Look, help us! I’ll give you a reward!”
– The merchant suggested the quest ‘Repulse the goblin bandits’.
-Do you accept the quest?
‘This is an opportunity.’
Thanks to that cry, the momentum and movement of the goblins stopped for a moment.
Now is the best time to attack.
“I’ll get you right away.”
Fafnil nodded.
The moment the quest is accepted!
“Wicked monsters, accept my sword!”
Penelope was the first to step out.
When Penelope took the lead and swung her sword, the goblins around her collapsed like reeds.
Excellent control that is hard to see not only from ordinary people, but also from athletes and soldiers!
‘Even weak, a knight is a knight!’
Fafnil was slightly surprised.
If you are level 100, you are on the weak side of the knight axis.
Nevertheless, Penelope opened the way by single-handedly sweeping out sixteen goblins.
It is even more surprising that it is in a state where 20% of the power is deducted.
‘When I grow up, I’m sure it won’t be a normal potential.’
Fafnir wasn’t even playing.
Fafnir called the Skeleton Soldiers and instructed.
“Wipe out all the goblins. Fighting with people… … . Don’t get close to that guy.”
“I see, master.”
“Click clack clack!”
Bell and No. 1, 2, and 3 briefly bumped their jaws and joined the fight.
Skeletons that follow.
Skeleton soldiers made from the corpses of goblins all over the place joined them.
“Wizard! It’s a wizard! Kick!”
“There is a wizard!”
Thirteen goblins who found Fafnir came running at once.
It was a pretty smart choice.
For a mage who was weak in close combat, over ten goblins was an unbeatable wall.
“Fafnir-nim, avoid!”
Hilde blocked the three, but the other ten rushed at Fafnir.
“Shut up!”
The goblins revealed this.
A triumphant smile.
At that moment, Fafnir swung the slayer’s sword.
puff.
One goblin’s head was split in two.
-Experience gained.
– Stamina has been restored with a vampire aura.
If there was one thing the goblins didn’t expect, it was that Fafnir’s control was superior to any of them.
“I can handle these guys! Focus on the front!”
Fafnir shouted and fell back.
Continued Blood Explosion!
The head of the falling goblin exploded like a watermelon.
It was the moment when nine of the surrounding goblins became incapacitated at once.
“hmm.”
Although he had a great criminal record, Fafnil’s expression was not so good.
From noble mtl dot com.
‘It’s full blood, but since my physical strength is restored, it seems like a loss for some reason.’
If my stamina had decreased a little, I would have recharged everything with the one I just had… … .
I didn’t really lose anything, but I felt bad for some reason.
‘It can’t be helped.’
As Fafnir tried to fight again, his vision caught something foreign.
‘huh?’
For a moment, Fafnir’s eyes sharpened.
‘That monster… … . no way?!’
