From noble mtl dot com.
‘Blessings of the Earth… … . This is pretty lucky.’
It doesn’t use earth magic, but the other effects are good enough.
Once you increase the rest efficiency, you can focus on hunting for a longer time, and the maximum HP and MP are also tier 2 statuses.

‘If you give me this unique weapon, it’s acceptable.’
The performance is simply powerful, but the exterior appearance and description are also attractive.

It was then.
“And this is a gift from me personally.”

‘There’s no level limit, so I can use it right away, and my abilities aren’t that bad… … . Why is it a unique grade?’
Looking through the options, Fafnir immediately knew why.
‘This is it.’
Fafnir grinned. The queen looked at it strangely.
“Anyway, you are an unusual adventurer. Even though he is a warlock who destroys temples of goddesses while dealing with dark mana, he is not such a bad adventurer when you talk to him.”
“I think power depends on how you handle it.”
“I agree with that. It’s just a pity for the countless lives sacrificed to accumulate the mana of darkness… … .”
Tiarwen sighed and spoke to Fafnir.
“Anyway, I can trust you. Can I ask you one more thing?”
“which… … .”
“Please deliver this to the Black Anvil Dwarves in the Pelaron Mountains.”
-Obtained Earth’s Elemental Crystal (Epic).
The queen continued to speak to the surprised Fafnir.
“It is the spirit of the earth that I have gathered. We’ve been on close terms with the Black Anvil Dwarves for a long time, so we’re giving them through fair trade. It’s been a while since we lost contact with the monsters recently, so I hope you’ll share this regular news with them.”
The Black Anvil Dwarf was a powerful dwarf kingdom that appeared in the original novel.
The NPC race that was considered the best blacksmith until the mid-to-late half of the novel.
In the second half, the continent of other servers opened and the content progressed, and the word “best” disappeared, but they were still among the top five craftsmen.
“I will ask them to take care of the reward. They are good people, so you won’t refuse.”
“hmm… … . All right. When is the deadline?”
“It was about time to fall, but… … . Still, you can deliver it within five years.”
Fafnir, who was going to refuse if it was too urgent, lost his words for a moment.
“And if you’re a necromancer, stop by the Great Forest of Samara in the south.”
“yes?”
“When it comes to the Queen of the Earth Fairies, there are stories to be told. They say that there is a powerful warlock in the Great Forest of Samara. If you like him, he will pass on his vision.”
“… … ! I will remember it.”
If an NPC of the size of a fairy queen could say this, it would be a credible story.
Fafnir lowered his head and walked out.
“Fafnil, are you leaving now?”
“I’ll give you mushrooms, can I have some more?”
“I’m going to play with the mask! Wait and see!”
A number of fairies rushed in and clung to it.
In this case, it’s best to just ignore it.
however… … .
“Don’t come back when you’re done. Then bring something really delicious.”
“Is it delicious?”
“You guys know honey, right?”
“huh! honey is so delicious sweet.”
Chattering earth fairies.
Looking at it brought back memories of my childhood.
My parents, who were busy with both jobs, often vacated the house, and it was always up to Kim Kang-han to stay alone and look at the house.
The images of the fairies clinging to her not to leave seemed to overlap with her then.
“Then have you heard of mead?”
“uh… … . no.”
“What is alcohol?”
“It’s a cold fire, so I put the moon in it and drink it.”
“… … .”
“No, even for us, that’s a bit.”
I said a line from a famous fantasy novel that a teammate from the past talked about, but the reaction was not very good.
“Anyway, I’ll bring you some really delicious mead.”
Fafnir got up with a grin.
After that, the fairies waved their fern-like hands.
“You must come again!”
“Next time bring mead!”
“In the meantime, I’ll find a lot of things humans will like!”
With the voices of the fairies behind, Fafnir came out to the ground.
‘I guess I’ll have to go to the safe zone and sell the loot.’
Going to Byron City is next.
Fafnir headed the other way from the way he came in.
‘I’ve seen Flush go wild, but are you going to go that way again because you’re crazy?’
Just as the feeling when entering and leaving is different, if there is someone coming out, the monsters will attack first.
It was Fafnil who avoided danger thanks to the contents of the novel.
‘Anyway, a ring that raises the resistance of the earth attribute that much… … .’
Fafnir looked at the flower ring and smiled in repentance.
‘With this, I’ll be able to go to the hunting grounds mentioned in the novel.’
This ring is not just a ring, but a key to the bonanza hunting ground.
Thinking about the future, I couldn’t help but smile.
It was then.
Fafnir, who was walking on the field, raised his head.
‘Are there other players nearby?’
There are artificial traces left on the trees and ground, and the frequency of monsters appearing is much lower.
‘It seems that a large guild is trying to pioneer this far.’
The large guilds that gathered forces and elites were more enthusiastic than anyone else in pioneering high-level hunting grounds.
reason? Simple.
This is because monopolizing stronger monsters and hunting grounds is the secret to growth.
‘I’ll be in trouble if I meet you, so I’ll have to be a little more careful.’
Strangely, as the size of the guild grew, the manners disappeared.
Even in a novel, it will be the same!
Fafnir began to move more carefully than before.
* * *
Quoo.
“hmm… … ?”
A young man who was catching a monster raised his head.
“Did I see something wrong?”
The man, who had been scanning the distance for a moment, moved toward it.
He had long dark hair and was wearing only a leather coat, cotton shirt, and trousers instead of hard armor.
But something was strange.
In one hand, he clearly held a long black sword, but in the other hand, he also held an ebony staff with black twigs coiled in a spiral.
“Hmm.”
The surprise didn’t end there.
The blue light made an eagle pattern in the eyes of the man who was looking at the horizon.
Hunter’s skill ‘Eagle Eye’!
It must have been a skill from a completely different job, but the man was properly seeing the effect of that skill.
“ah… … !”
Instantly, the man’s eyes widened.
“As expected, I wasn’t mistaken.”
A man in a robe was heading towards the meadow looking around from afar.
It was Fafnil.
“… … Amazing.”
The young man who was watching Fafnir moving slowly muttered.
“… … I thought this would still be a place where only I could hunt?”
At least on the Korean server it was like that.
He was the first to actually come here and hear the first discoverer notification.
‘Lee Jun-hyeok hasn’t come this far yet. Is it another server?’
However, there was no way he could have surpassed the server already.
The barrier between servers must be at least level 500 to be able to move.
‘Either way… … . It doesn’t change that guy hunted.’
The corners of the young man’s mouth drew an arc.
‘As expected, Horizon is fun.’
Fafnir, who was moving just in time, was followed by a saber tiger.
The man smiled and turned around.
In the meantime, the newly flocked monsters were revealing this.
‘It’s unfortunate that I can’t see more, but I can’t help it.’
If you are a person with that level of skills and specs, you will surely meet again someday.
Whirik, the man’s black sword and staff moved at the same time.
The guy’s nickname is Ajin.
He was the number 1 player on Horizon’s worldwide server.
* * *
-You have entered the Flamehearts Fortress.
Entering the big city, Fafnir sighed in relief.
“You’ll be safe when you get here.”
After going through several crises and escaping from the land of level 200 monsters in the West, they arrived at the nearest place.
‘As expected, it’s not like a flush.’
I was caught and chased by a saber tiger in the middle, but I managed to survive and come this far.
It was then.
“Hey, brother!”
“You can’t go through the front door.”
The moment I was about to enter the city.
Two passing users grabbed Fafnil.
“That’s the Kingsman Guild area, so they charge a toll.”
“Is this city?”
“It’s exactly near the gate, but in fact, there’s only the gate to enter, so the entrance fee is right.”
Fafnir was dumbfounded and asked with a smile.
“It’s a game, but you walk the toll and find the district? Aren’t you overly immersed in the concept?”
Like Kindorhan, it’s not like Nawavari is a spec.
Is there anything that comes out of such a flurry?
“Because this game makes a lot of money… … .”
“We also make money, but we all go to our parents and I don’t know.”
money comes out
Quite a lot of that too.
Fafnil cleared his throat.
‘Yes, this was a world in a game fantasy.’
No, even in real life, there will be quite a few things that make money by controlling games.
This is what is commonly referred to as ‘meal of rice’.
However, Horizon is world-class in scale, so this kind of control is actually strong.
“Anyway, thank you for helping me, but what should I do?”
“Come over here.”
From noble mtl dot com.
The two ushered Fafnil through the crowd.
While being judged among the NPCs, other users could be seen from afar caught by the Kingsman Guild members.
“The toll is cheap enough. Look, we broke through the NPCs and pioneered the hunting grounds first, so we’re not saying don’t use them for free.”
“It has nothing to do with us breaking through NPCs! It was only pierced by you!”
“under… … . I don’t know what’s going on in the world.”
A situation that takes your breath away just by looking at it.
Fafnir was able to avoid such an argument thanks to the two of them.
“Thank you, something reward… … .”
“No, it’s okay!”
“You don’t have to accept it, brother.”
The two users waved their hands. But the reason was spectacle.
“My mother said that people in need should help. It was like that at school too.”
“Your brother is a necromancer. It’s not our business, so just leave it there.”
“… … .”
It was the first time that he was sympathized with as a necromancer.
Leaving the blank Fafnir behind, the two users, no, the two students chattered away and disappeared.
‘There are things like this… … .’
Anyway, now it’s time to sell the loot.
Fafnir tried to take out Giant Mantis’ armor and sinews from the plaza.
It was then.
“wait for a sec.”
Someone called and stopped Fafnir.
It was a man wearing a white coat and robe like a scientist.
“Are you selling those ingredients?”
“It is, but… … . Do you need permission to open a stall?”
“Permission, it can’t be.”
The man shook his head at Fafnir’s words.
“If you are selling those materials, sell them to me. Buy everything.”
“Is that true?”
“Then you must be lying?”
Meeting a customer who will buy all the ingredients before you even open the stall?
‘This is lucky.’
Fafnir smiled inwardly.
Then the man also spoke.
“I am really lucky today. I, Favre, have never seen Giant Mantis material in such good condition for the first time in 60 years!”
“yes?”
In an instant, Fafnil’s expression changed as if he had chewed something.
reason? Simple.
Because as soon as I heard the man’s name, I knew who he was.
‘Lucky b*tch… … .’
Was there a price to pay for such an illusion, even for a moment?
‘Isn’t this a land mine?’
I can’t help it.
Fafnir sighed and said.
“Let’s go home first.”
