Episode 70
Fafnir came down from the mountain and explained to the nobles what had happened on the mountaintop.
“Then it worked out! Fortunately, the. It’s really fortunate, poor princess.”
Thick tears dripped from the wrinkled eyes of the old knight and the old man.
“Thank you, Mr. Fafnir, thank you very much. Thanks to you.”
“no. I just did my job.”
As Fafnir shook his head, Count Sharpyer approached.
“What do you mean! I heard that only you knew that the unicorn was here, and it was thanks to you and your knights that you passed the unicorn’s test.”
A unicorn is a very powerful divine beast and an embodiment of justice.
They snort at pretty much anything, but to have passed the test in gear was a great achievement.
Didn’t Fafnir even complete the establishment of the base with Pegasus’ permission?
“This time, no matter what anyone says, it’s your merit. Be confident, just like me! Ha ha ha ha ha.”
A message popped up against the background of Earl Sharpyear’s laughing voice.
-You have completed the ‘Finding the Princess’ Hideout (Unique)’ quest.
– Unfinished quest conditions remain.
-Experience gained.
You earned -20 gold.
-Acquired 30,000 base defense contribution.
‘The base defense is 30,000 contributions?’
Contribution points related to siege warfare or saving lives are more difficult to obtain than battles.
Even if you save people all day, 200 to 300 is the limit.
If he received 30,000 of them, it would mean that he had made a big contribution.
“Poor Princess, now give the soldiers instructions… … .”
“Okay, let’s move.”
Elizabeth also nodded at the words of Count Blackheart, who was watching.
“Old man, you guard me, Earl Sharpyear, prepare for encampment.”
“yes.”
Orders issued quickly.
‘I guess I’ll have to move soon too.’
Fafnil also rose from his seat.
It was then.
Princess Elizabeth said to Fafnir.
“Wait a minute, Fafnir come here.”
“yes?”
‘Is there another quest to do?’
As Fafnir approached, Elizabeth brought up the subject.
“First of all, I would like to say thank you. From the time of Grand Duke Gowyn’s betrayal until now, you have accomplished many feats in the Bone camp.”
After saving the princess, he set the course of the revival army and secured a base!
“I saved several nobles, including myself, and gathered the soldiers in the rear and quickly escaped the battlefield. I found and guided them to a safe zone that no one thought of, and took the lead in passing the test of the unicorns and creating a hideout for the kingdom army.”
Princess Elizabeth, who had been talking like flowing water, cleared her throat.
“So I can’t just go beyond words. If the royal family had been in good health, I would have given you a bigger reward, but now I have nothing else to give you.”
After speaking, Elizabeth instructed.
“Get down on your knees, Fafnir.”
“… … !”
Shuk. As Fafnir knelt, Princess Elizabeth put a sword to his shoulder.
“I, Elizabeth, as the legitimate successor to the royal family of Baran, Leodek, I will give you the title of baronet.”
– You have been awarded the title of Baron of Baran Kingdom.
-Achieved the new achievement ‘Noble Status’.
– Reputation has increased by +5,000.
-Acquired the new title ‘Noble’.
– ‘Quarter Baron’ has been added to the position.
“Queen Baron… … !”
From noble mtl dot com.
“Oh oh… … .”
Earl Sharpyear and the old man were amazed.
Surprisingly, Fafnir was the same.
‘I’m lucky to have already obtained a title.’
If you are a baronet, it is a title of nobility.
Although it is still a façade position, if the revival army wins in the future, it will become an actual title and fiefdom.
“But poor princess, this is a necromancer… … . What a title!”
Count Blackheart protested.
“What does that matter?”
“Necromancer is a job that insults the dead and is despised by the gods. But how can a noble… … .”
“In that case, why not persuade the wonder unicorns?”
“… … !”
The blood drained from Count Blackheart’s face at the disregard of Princess Elizabeth.
“I hope you continue to be loyal to the princess I saw, Lord Fafnir.”
“… … thank you.”
“Hooray for Baron Fafnir!”
“hurray!”
Knights shouting hurray led by Earl Sharpyear.
Fafnir’s expression in the middle of it became subtle.
‘How come this is different from what I thought.’
In the novel, I went through moderate analysis, etc., but when I was directly attacked, my face became hotter than I thought.
A feeling I had never felt while finishing runner-up several times in my pro gamer life!
Fafnil licked his lips and received three cheers.
Meanwhile, Baron Blackheart went outside and gnashed his teeth.
“… … Something like a necromancer… … . Dare to title… … .”
The Blackheart count family had been recognized as a prestigious family for generations.
Count Blackheart, a descendant of such a family, took extraordinary pride in his title of nobility.
“… … Even Princess Elizabeth doesn’t have an answer… … . Are you giving me a baronet for conciliating the foals, and ignoring my words again?”
I can’t live like this because it’s unfair. Count Blackheart secretly called several of his men.
* * *
“Everyone, cheer up a little more!”
“The fence is over here! Build kitchens and walls along these lines!”
The revival army, which climbed up the mountain, immediately began to build a base.
Several buildings and wooden fences began to line up above the spot where the unicorns had driven the monsters.
“I don’t have enough wood and fabric!”
“Use the trees and rocks in the surrounding forest! They gave permission to the unicorns!”
When resources were scarce, trees and rocks in the surrounding forest were cut.
Users in the revival army had to take on these quests in a semi-forced way.
“One, two, one, two.”
Users who use strength, such as swordsmen, warriors, and martial artists, carry stones.
Sometimes I would miss a stone and drop it. The protruding stones rolled down the mountain and broke into pieces or hit other people.
“Aww!”
“hey! What are you guys doing!”
Fights happen everywhere!
And that’s not all.
“Puhihing, making a house and a fence is good, but it’s a bit too noisy.”
“Dirty humans, it will take a million years for you guys to be acknowledged.”
The unicorn, who had followed him without even trying, came to a fight.
I couldn’t win even if I fought with my anger, so I had to endure it intact.
“Ah-oh… … . How can those horse heads not do it?”
“Hold on, the other day they got into a fight somewhere else and kicked back and went to the goal.”
“real?”
“Even if you look at them like that, they’re level 400. If you’re going to carry a knife, do it alone.”
“after… … . I endure.”
Users sighing and beating their chests.
After that, two Umigan gangsters moved with a stone the size of an adult man.
“When I was in my prime, stones like these were just… … .”
“Hey Mr. Kim, stop talking bullsh*t and carry stones.”
Other gang members were also moving, each carrying a log.
Surprisingly, the Umigan gang did a better job than expected.
It was because I did a lot of physical work in real life, and I was able to move in perfect order thanks to Kindorhan’s guidance.
“Yeah, that’s over there. You guys bring some water.”
Kindorhan, who was giving instructions, wiped his sweat.
‘Still, this place isn’t too bad either.’
smile. A smile formed on Kindorhan’s lips.
‘The view is nice, the air is clear… … . There must be quite a few dungeons, since monsters and forests are also lush.’
If you set up a base, building, or shop in a place like this, it becomes a rake that attracts money.
It was like stepping on the land of the bonanza, so I couldn’t feel bad.
‘If I invest in this place, it will be really great.’
Coincidentally, Fafnil also obtained the title of baronet. If you can use that position, even the concept of developing Mount Aeolus would not be a dream!
‘I’ll have to ask you later, khehehehe.’
Kindorhan laughs sinisterly.
In the meantime, the work continued.
Of course, it wasn’t just manual labor.
Various monsters in the forest rushed towards the users who were working in full swing.
Kiaag!
Cack Cack!
Level 200-300 forest monsters were trying to drive out the new invaders.
Blocking their attack was also a quest for the player and the revival army.
“Weak people… … . The barrier has been put up, so block it from the inside.”
As the unicorns, who were watching from afar, stomped their feet, a transparent protective film was formed around them.
“It’s a debuff! Fight within the barrier!”
Upon entering the shielded area, the speed of the monsters noticeably slowed down.
“attack!”
When the NPC commander’s instructions fell, arrows and magic rained down on the monsters.
-Experience gained.
-Experience gained.
Experience points coming in one after another.
I caught an overwhelming level of enemies, but because the unicorns ate a large portion, the share that came to the users was not that large.
Still, this was a good thing.
After the kingdom of Baran collapsed, most of the area was engulfed in chaos.
Several cities were razed to the ground, and many more NPCs died.
Quests that were dormant disappeared as they were, and beginner users had to increase their level by becoming soldiers of each local lord or thieves.
Excluding the large guilds that have accumulated strength in advance, the damage accumulates.
‘By the way, where did Fafnir go?’
Kindorhan tilted his head.
‘I’m sure you’re not catching those monsters alive outside the shield… … ?’
It’s a creepy guess, but for some reason, Fafnir seemed to be able to do that.
‘Ah, that can’t be.’
Kindorhan shook his head and returned to his work.
Meanwhile at that time.
Fafnir was meeting Pegasus one more time.
-We can’t get out of the upper part of this mountain. Aeolus Mountain is a continental vein. Because you have to protect it.
Pegasus said.
– Because of this, even if the bottom of the mountain is full of unclean things, we have no choice but to watch it. If possible, please destroy the demons at the bottom of the mountain for us.
– Request a new quest ‘Subjugation of demons at the foot of the mountain (magic)’.
-Do you accept the quest? (Y/N)
“Thank you for doing me a favor, but of course I have to do it.”
– You have accepted the quest.
It hasn’t been rumored among users yet, but Pegasus and Unicorns also give quests.
Fafnir swept them away first and then headed towards the mountainside.
‘Since I’ve received all the quests to receive, I guess I can start working now.’
Fafnil, who summoned all summoned creatures, instructed.
“You guys move from here and be the first to find caves, basins, hidden valleys, etc.”
“Click clack clack!”
“I understand, Warlock.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Did I mention I rode horses in the mountains when I was younger? K-Gel-Gel-Gel… … .”
Skeleton Knight Louis and other personnel received instructions.
‘Even if the Skeleton Soldiers’ intelligence is low, they will understand scouting and simple instructions.’
What you’re looking for is none other than the hidden peace.
In the novel, Flush raised his level by 25 while touring dungeons and demon caves all over Mount Aiolos.
‘There are eight places that have been briefly mentioned and passed over, and one cave that I have to find myself, and one new field area that I have to find first… … .’
Aiolos is very tall compared to real mountains.
Mt. Jirisan and Mt. Seorak are also at a level comparable to the mountains of the Alps.
Because it is also in contact with other mountain ranges around it, the size was larger than that.
Traveling around such places and finding dungeons!
No matter how much you wander alone, it will be a long journey to find one place or not.
“Okay then move on.”
“Click clack clack!”
Skeleton soldiers tried to scatter in all directions.
It was then.
“Hee hee hee!”
A white shadow approaching from afar shattered one skeleton soldier.
Unicorn!
“Now, wait… … .”
“It’s here!”
“Hee hee hee hee!”
Without surprise, other unicorns appeared from all over the place and destroyed the skeleton soldiers.
The elite Skeleton Soldiers, Bell and Louie, were unharmed, but the regular Skeleton Soldiers were recklessly turned into bone fragments.
“hey.”
The frost unicorn that finished the demolition said.
“They say they let you live, but to invite these evil things to roam… … . conflict!”
The upper part of Mount Aeolus is a sacred realm.
Calling undead monsters to roam around was out of the permissible range.
“I’m not aware of it this time, so I’m going to pass on it, but if something like this happens again, I will have to be prepared.”
Purreung, the snorting unicorns returned.
Left alone, Fafnil licked his lips.
‘This difficulty suddenly went up.’
If you can’t use the Skeleton Soldiers, you have to go around and find them yourself.
Fafnir let out a sigh and relaxed.
‘It can’t be helped.’
It was time to go back to streamer Kim Gang-han, who found hidden dungeons and tricks in numerous VR games in the past.
