Episode 69
Fafnir went down the mountain and reported the quest to the NPCs.
“Heh heh heh! Fafnir-kun, you did really well.”
“Unicorns help? Then you can rest easy! Ha ha ha, as expected, I saw people well!”
The nobles were genuinely delighted.
If you can really borrow the power of a unicorn, the safety of the revival army is guaranteed.
“With the help of a unicorn… … . I’m glad this… … .”
Even the figure of Count Blackheart, who was sweating profusely, was perfect.
“thank god. If it’s a stronghold guarded by unicorns, then Grand Duke Gowyn won’t come without permission.”
Princess Elizabeth also looked at Fafnir with slightly surprised eyes.
“I said I would believe it, but I never thought I would have this kind of information.”
“thank you.”
“But how did you get this information?”
If you saw it in a novel, you don’t know what kind of contact the management will receive.
Fafnil was vaguely confused.
“that… … . I have known about it before.”
Fortunately, Elizabeth didn’t ask that further.
“Thanks to you, I didn’t go in vain this far.”
However, there was one condition here.
“Then I must find a chaste woman now.”
At the direction of Princess Elizabeth, all the female NPCs in the revival army gathered.
From female knights who trained in martial arts, nurses who were in charge of chores, and nuns who gave blessings.
“Married people, lovers, and men all fall in!”
Fafnir, who was watching him get busy, thought.
‘With this, the establishment of the base is almost finished. ‘
I couldn’t help but pass through the NPCs.
I wanted to give other players like Hilde and Sihyeon a chance, but unfortunately there were no players who fit the conditions.
This is because in order for the player to pass the Unicorn’s test, the good karma must be at least 300,000.
“Come on, follow me up.”
Fafnir, Princess Elizabeth, and the select women after that all climbed the mountain.
Soon, he saw a magic portal connected to the upper floors. When Fafnir crossed it, the upper layer appeared at once.
“Puhihing.”
“Are these all?”
A dozen unicorns had already gathered on the other side of the portal.
“I will start the test.”
A unicorn that was a little bigger than the other unicorns approached.
It was a special unicorn with pure white skin and hoarfrost on the tips of its horns.
“hmm… … .”
The power of the unicorn’s legs went through the female knights.
“Puhihing! fail!”
A unicorn that kicks relentlessly.
“evil!”
“You’ve got dozens of other men in your head, pass!”
“that… … that is… … . As we fight together, Jimmy’s muscles keep popping up in my head… … .”
The female knight lowered her head.
‘No, just thinking about it doesn’t match the standard?’
What kind of test is that?
Fafnil was dumbfounded and wanted to shout out loud.
‘When the flush guy came, he passed with a free pass… … . What is that bastard’s saintess… … .’
In the novel, Flush passed the unicorns with a free pass.
It was thanks to being with Iris, a saintess of the Church of Lu, who is currently shrouded in a veil.
‘I can’t help it. If you lack luck, you have no choice but to prepare and show off your skills.’
In the meantime, the unicorn kicked or stamped several people in refusal.
“fail!”
“fail!”
From female knights, wizards, and handmaids, dropouts appeared one after another.
There was even a nun from the Church of Lu among them.
“The nun… … It’s not virtuous… … ?”
The unicorn stamped its feet at Fafnir’s muttering.
“conflict! That guy is the most lewd!”
“… … .”
Whoa, the nun’s face turned red as she bowed her head.
“fail! I thought of my childhood boyfriend in my hometown!”
“fail! you… … . that… … .”
“No, what am I!”
“The same goes for women!”
“… … !”
The women who asked why they were rejected had to reveal the detailed reason to everyone.
As a result, everyone started to withdraw without even asking why.
how much time has passed
Fafnil’s expression gradually hardened.
‘The finalists… … . doesn’t exist?’
There is only one person, and that one does not appear.
In the end, the frost unicorn, who checked even the last person, stomped his foot.
“Puhihing, the test is over. You didn’t pass.”
“… … this!”
Not even one in hundreds. Fafnir touched his forehead.
It was then.
“Not yet, Unicorn.”
Chuck, Princess Elizabeth walked out.
“How about me?”
“Hee hee… … .”
The frost unicorn started looking at Elizabeth.
Unlike other people, after looking at it for a long time and thinking about it, he even thought hard about something!
“… … Perfect.”
The first positive reply came from the frost unicorn.
“Degrade the princess!”
“Degrade the princess!”
From noble mtl dot com.
The ladies-in-waiting were thrilled. But it was still too early to be relieved.
“… … It’s a pity.”
The Frost Unicorn sighed heartily.
“It’s almost perfect in every way, but there is a narrowly lacking part.”
“What is it?”
Princess Elizabeth asked a question with a hard expression on her face.
The frost unicorn answered the next moment.
“You love your country. Because of that, I cannot pass this test.”
“… … !”
One of the Queens of England once said that.
‘Jim married the country.’
The queen, who was also famous for never marrying, was also famous for being one of the greatest military leaders in British history.
But could it be because of that that it falls short of the standard?
“after… … .”
Fafnir is a professional gamer and is used to making rational decisions instead of emotions.
Because of this, instead of arguing, Penelope, Bell, and the Skeleton Soldiers were summoned.
‘Even if I kill all the skeleton soldiers, I have to save Princess Elizabeth.’
It was then.
The frost unicorn turned its head towards Fafnir and tilted its head.
“hmm… … ?”
The frost unicorn came straight and glared at Penelope several times.
The frost unicorn, who had been like that for a while, soon bent his legs and sat down on the ground.
“Pure virgin, you have passed our test.”
“… … what?”
“A Sim full of pure improvement and philanthropy. Ki full of swordsmanship knowledge and tactics, and a perfectly pure body… … . All perfect.”
“… … ?”
“You deserve to meet our lord, the divine beast Pegasus.”
Penelope looked at Fafnir with a puzzled expression and asked.
“The Warlock.”
“uh?”
“Demands an explanation. What the hell is this unicorn trying to say?”
How should I explain it?
Thoughtful, Fafnir shrugged and replied.
“Thanks to you, the kingdom revival army of over 10,000 people was able to safely build a base.”
First of all, it wasn’t wrong.
* * *
top of Mount Aeolus.
There was a white horse with one wing.
Nobility that is on a different level from other unicorns as well as ordinary horses.
It was one of the divine beasts, the heavenly horse Pegasus.
“Whoa… … .”
Fafnir took a deep breath and stepped forward.
“Pegasus-sama!”
All right. The hesitant Pegasus came this way.
– Ugh… … ! Dark Mana… … .
Pegasus turned his head to the side for a moment, then opened his eyes wide.
-But seeing that you passed the test of the unicorns, you are not a bad person.
Fortunately, like the setting in the novel, the words worked. Fafnir let out a sigh of relief.
“I have a favor to ask!”
-Please?
“I’m not asking you for free, this… … .”
Fafnille held out the glistening lily of the valley stems and leaves.
– Uhm… … ! How is this?
“I got it by accident in the north, by any chance… … .”
– No, this is my favorite grass. In the old days, I used to eat a meal with this grass.
Pegasus ate the lily of the valley with his eyes closed.
– It reminds me of the old days. I remember fighting while flying through the sky with the owner on board. It’s a happy memory… … .
Again, a single tear flowed from Pegasus’ closed eyes.
‘master?’
Fafnir checked the harness and reins on Pegasus’ back.
‘That’s… … .’
Shuk, the moment I was about to touch it, a message popped up.
[Hero’s Reins]
– The conditions for handling the current reins have not been met.
[condition]
– More than 300,000 reputation points.
-Has a Paladin job
– Level 400 or higher
– Clear the Hero’s Trial (Legendary) quest
– When you handle the hero’s reins, you can become the new owner of the heavenly horse Pegasus.
“… … .”
Conditions for the Holy Knight Legendary Quest!
‘From the point of view of the novel, it seems that too much time has passed and it has disappeared.’
In fact, the flush in the original novel did not find such a quest.
Considering how lucky he was, it had to be seen as a quest that was overdue and disappeared.
-I received a gift that reminds me of old memories… … . Since you can see the nobility of your colleague, I will listen to your request.
“actually… … .”
Fafnir talked about the situation of the revival army of the Kingdom of Baran.
After hearing the contents, Pegasus nodded.
-okay. For the revival of the royal family… … . You passed the test for good reason.
“then?”
-This mountain has a lot of space, so it won’t be a big problem if you come in and use it. I will lend you your strength until you find the kingdom.
-You have achieved the completion conditions for the quest ‘Finding the Princess’s Hideout’.
– You can receive a reward from Princess Elizabeth.
Completed the quest conditions without difficulty.
Fafnir let out a sigh of relief.
‘I’m glad I don’t have to use the golden reins.’
Originally, the Golden Rein was an item prepared for when Pegasus attacked.
However, since the conversation went well, I was able to write it elsewhere.
‘The development was a bit different from the plan, but… … . I was lucky.’
Still, the biggest benefit, no matter what, was to attract Pegasus, one of Flush’s hidden pieces, as an ally first.
‘I guess I can go downstairs, complete the quest, and bring the people up.’
When the revival army establishes a base, it becomes a new village and a safe zone.
This means that you will be able to save and log in points as well as sell and repair miscellaneous goods and weapons.
‘There’s a huge difference between coming out from under the mountain when you die and coming out from here.’
Not only the time to get to and from other villages, but also the acquisition of various infrastructures and resources can be greatly shortened.
That time will return intact to the search for hidden peace and hunting.
‘I’m really glad it worked out.’
It was then.
By the time Fafnir was trying to think of what to do next.
Pegasus, who had been staring at Penelope, opened his mouth.
-By the way, female knight Penelope, do you know about the seal on your body?
“seal… … ?”
-is it so. It is a very strong and strong seal. Maybe it’s not the seal, but what’s left after it’s been broken.
Fafnir, who smelled the hidden peace for a moment, hurriedly responded.
“Pegasus-sama, I have something to tell you, so could you elaborate a bit more?”
Pegasus closed and opened his eyes for a moment before continuing.
– Warlock, this knight is sealed. It’s your choice to break it or not, but if you need more power, breaking the seal is a good option.
“All right.”
– I don’t know everything either. but… … . Looking at the reverberation of mana felt from the seal, I can understand something.
Pegasus looked east.
-Go to the Lake of Oz in the Central Continent. There must be a bond that can break the seal of this female knight.
– A new quest ‘Penelope’s Seal 1 (Unique)’ has been created.
[Title: Penelope’s Seal 1]
-Rating: Unique
[target]
-Find and visit the Lake of Oz (0/1)
– Description: The female knight Penelope is sealed. The only clue to breaking this seal is in the Lake of Oz.
-Reward: EXP, Linked Quest
‘I guess I was lucky this time too.’
Power Up Event!
Fafnil was slightly surprised at the unexpected income, then smiled.
