Episode 45
“I got all the mushrooms! Thanks to that, I didn’t worry about those mantises and picked them.”
“thank you!”
– Completed the quest.
-Experience gained.
– Mana Affinity increased by +1.
– The affinity of the earth fairies under Tyche Temple has increased by +1.
After collecting the mushrooms, the fairies expressed their sincere gratitude.
“Oh, if you have time, why don’t you stop by our village?”
“It’s been hundreds of years since I’ve seen a human, so our friends will like it if you show your face.”
Proposal to visit the village of fairies!
Normally, I would have refused.
Isn’t it time to hunt as much as possible when there is a first discoverer bonus?
However, Kang-Han Kim’s gamer instinct attracted my heart.
‘Earth fairy village was not mentioned in the original work.’
A village of earth fairies that was completely destroyed in the novel.
Of course, there is almost no clue what it looks like or who it is.
If you refuse now, the opportunity to see it is gone forever.
‘Besides, if it’s the quest of the earth fairies, it must be related to the dark giant Mantis.’
Didn’t these two fairies suffer because of the Giant Mantis just now?
It was the right decision to hunt while receiving quest rewards.
“Okay, if only for a moment.”
“Yeyy! If I bring a human, I should brag to my heart that I brought a human.”
“The village is this way.”
The fairies guided Fafnir to a corner of the underground labyrinth.
After catching the Giant Mantis a few times and advancing, an open sub-space suddenly appeared.
– You have entered the village of the Earth Fairy.
– Found the village of the Earth Fairy.
– Became the first discoverer of the Earth Fairy Village.
-You can register information in the Explorers Guild.
-The dexterity status has increased by +1.
The appearance of the village was quite different from Fafnir’s expectations.
I thought it would be filled in the tunnel like a sewer village because it was an earth fairy, but it was living in a beehive-shaped earthen house in a normal sub-space.
“Baney and Swann are back!”
“What about mushrooms?”
“So many mushrooms!”
Upon entering the village, dozens of fairies that looked similar to the two fairies appeared from beehives all over the place and flocked to them.
After a while, the fairies who saw Fafnir reacted.
“Human!”
From noble mtl dot com.
“How did humans get here? It must be full of warts outside… … .”
“I’m seeing humans for the first time, and humans look really strange. You have blunt ears and no wings?”
“Can I touch it?”
Explosive interest!
For fairies who were innocent and mischievous by nature, Fafnil was truly a popular star.
“wait for a sec!”
“Stop!”
Two fairies called Baini and Swan stopped the other fairies.
“I have to take her to the queen first, she’s an outsider.”
“Right, you can play with humans later.”
The Queen of the Earth Fairies, who did not even appear in the original work!
Fafnil was immediately ushered to her.
“Welcome, human adventurer.”
The Earth Fairy Queen took the form of a beautiful woman in a black veil dress.
If it wasn’t the size of an apple, I would have mistaken it for being a model somewhere.
“My name is Tiarwen. I rule the land around here.”
Earth fairies were grateful individuals who lived under the ground, took care of the earth’s mana, and purged the earth’s pollution.
They are quite good people to know because they sometimes bring stories about minerals, herbs, or ruins from under the ground.
However, it wasn’t that strong, so it wasn’t that strong when fighting directly.
“I heard the story. You protected Baini and Swann from the dark giant Mantis?”
Queen Tiarwen leaned her upper body forward.
“thank you. Without your help, those children would have been eaten by the Mantis.”
“They have the same destination, so we just protected them.”
“You are humble. Not all adventurers who visited this place hundreds of years ago were like that.”
The queen sighed and continued.
“I want to repay you enough, but right now our situation is not so good. This place is protected by my magic, but it’s full of Giant Mantis outside.”
“hmm… … .”
“I don’t mind, but I’ll ask you one more thing. Please reduce the number of Giant Mantis here. I think 50 of them will be enough to catch my breath.”
– Fairy Queen Tiarwen has requested the quest ‘Destroy the Dark Giant Mantis’ (Normal).
-Do you accept the quest? (Y/N)
‘It’s good, but the situation is not good, so you want to reward only experience points?’
Considering that he had to fight while protecting the fairies, it might be a loss.
Besides, this place is also far from a good road for hunting.
It was when Fafnir was about to refuse.
“In the past, there was a sanctuary of the Goddess in this basement. When you finish this job, I will tell you the location of the underground sanctuary.”
“… … !”
‘There is one more hidden sanctuary of the goddess of luck?’
Fafnir replied with a grin.
“I’m here to catch them anyway, so there’s nothing I can’t do. I will accept it.”
If you drop only the HP of a building in Multi, it will recover quickly.
It was a great opportunity to destroy the building as well as to hold the workers for sure.
* * *
After receiving the Queen’s quest, Fafnir went on a hunt for Mantis again.
‘The first discoverer buff will be applied for the next 3 days… … . In reality, it’s a day.’
I’m not really pressed for a schedule or time. Rather, considering the speed of level growth, it was on the relaxed side.
“I caught all 50 of them.”
-You have completed the quest ‘Destroy the Dark Giant Mantis’ (Normal).
-Experience gained.
– Acquired Seiron honey grass.
“Thank you very much. The underground sanctuary is located a little further east from Sogong-dong, where you first came.”
the queen spoke.
“It’s where the Great Cavity is located. But it will be difficult to go right away.”
“There is something.”
“Yes, the giant mantis king of darkness is drinking the magic of the sanctuary there.”
Giant Mantis’ boss monster!
‘Somehow, he wanted to give a clue easily.’
Fafnir sighed.
‘I couldn’t not catch the boss monster anyway, so I’ll keep hunting.’
For the next two days, Fafnir continued hunting without a break.
The fairies of the earth followed Fafnil and chattered nonstop.
“Humans really like shiny stones… … . What’s good about not being able to eat?”
“How do you get that skeleton to move? Can you tell me something too?”
Would you feel like this if you turned on the speaker 24 hours a day?
Still, there was sometimes useful information among the fairies’ stories.
“One day, an elfin went out into the passageway leading to a corner of this cave, and he said there was a spear stuck in it. I don’t know why they put it there.”
“Once upon a time, there was a road that led to an island in the sky near here. Rumor has it that you can see the ruins if you go up north from here?”
Earth fairies outlived humans. He was so familiar with all sorts of information.
It’s playful, and most of them talk about meaningless stuff, but once you filter it out, there are some pretty useful bits of information.
‘I’ll have to go see if there’s a spear, if it’s an island in the sky… … . It seems that there was a road to the sky island around here too.’
Fafnir headed towards the window. In the middle of a small basin on the ground lay the skeleton of a knight.
-I am Hudson, a knight of the Belgai kingdom. In order to overcome the extremes of nothingness, he fights the swordsman Rankai here. If you find my body here, it means I lost. sh*t. Still, I have no regrets about death. We gave our best to each other, and if we lost there, that’s acceptable. It’s just a pity that my martial arts are disappearing. If anyone finds my body, bring my spear to the maritime kingdom of Belcast.
– A new quest ‘Hudson’s Will (Normal)’ has been created.

– Hudson’s spirit resides in the window.
‘If it’s Rankai, is it Silver Wolf Rankai? Isn’t that the swordsman master skill hidden NPC?’
I remember giving trials to the supporting characters and passing characters around the main character in the original novel.
‘Well, there’s no word saying how long it has to be done, so let’s accept it for now.’
Fafnir took the spear and thought.
‘Do the quest later… … . Come to think of it, I’m sure my level will pass 100 soon.’
Fafnir’s current level is 95, up from 94.
However, at this speed, it was not too late to exceed 100.
‘At level 100, I’ll be able to learn something called a master skill.’
Each job could learn a special master skill at every level 100.
Something like a special move that can be used separately, minus the existing three skill slots.
As it is a separate additional skill, the difference in combat power between presence and absence is more than one simple skill.
‘As soon as the hunt is over, I’m going to go see it right away.’
Fortunately, there was an NPC that Fafnir could find when that happened.
Gould.
If he was a level 450 NPC, he would be able to pass on a master skill.
‘I have to hurry to use the master skill during the Great Orc War.’
Fafnir continued hunting.
after a week like that.
Finally, the last 7 days of Nogada’s end of the hunt were over.

-Risk level (based on copper level): ★★★☆
[pattern]
-Normal Attack: After closing the distance, use the blade of the front foot to aim.
-Rampant Sword Wind: Swing both front feet vigorously to shoot wind blades in full range, dealing damage equal to that of an instant kill. You need to see and dodge the ready position, or fire the flash at close range to cancel it.

-Peer: Dark attribute debuff. If hit properly, movement speed and skill casting speed are temporarily slowed.
Note: In addition to large behavioral patterns, there are several unpredictable behavioral patterns. In addition, even if a leg or body is cut, the severed parts continue to move for a while, and in particular, even if the head is cut off, the body continues to fight for more than an hour. Never be vigilant until the very end. Weakness against normal dark giant Mantis works.
Dark Giant Mantis King Item.
In addition to the contents from the original novel, it was the contents of the notes that Fafnir had researched while fighting several times against a monster boss monster with a height of over 15m.
Of course, the name that the main character Flush almost died several times.
Such a monster stretched out on the floor as it struggled for the last time.

‘It’s amazing.’
Above the carcass of a small distracting giant mantis.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Fafnir smiled relievedly.
A week of game time.
3 days in real time. It was a worthy reward for hunting without sleep during that time.
“It’s worth coming all the way here and eating the hidden piece.”
‘Then shall we put an end to it now?’
Fafnir swung his pickaxe at the god statue in the middle of the Great Hollow.
-You have destroyed the hidden sanctuary of Tyche, the goddess of fortune.
-Tike, the goddess of luck, complains about what I did wrong.
– Goddess of Fortune Tyche’s affinity decreased by 30.
‘You’re going to work hard with luck and become stronger by receiving blessings from the sanctuary?’
There is no such thing.
no matter what!
never!!
I can’t riot with luck!
