Episode 72
After the King and his main army were annihilated, the Grand Air Force of Gowyn entered Athens almost free of charge.
Grand Duke Gowyn, who entered like that, rewarded all the people who had made a contribution in this battlefield.
First of all, the King Slayer Sangvis army was given the title of duke, and the three swordsmen below were given the title of count.
All four were not just business cards, but high-ranking positions that could actually mobilize NPCs.
The Iron Blooded Army could mobilize the NPC army if they wanted to, and the Iron Blood Three Swords under them could handle the guards to their heart’s content.
“Today we subdue the Peron Cave, protect me.”
“yes.”
The specs of the escorts were astonishing.
A whopping five level 200 NPC knights.
When such power came along with the level 150 dungeon raid, it became possible to hunt comfortably while playing and eating.
“Oh, let all the other adventurers go. It gets in the way.”
“yes.”
The knights who received the order kicked out the players who were hunting.
“Get out immediately, you commoners.”
“If you don’t want to be hunted like monsters, get out of here!”
“Hey… … .”
“Go, I’ll go! Please don’t hit me!”
Knights threatening to kill you if you don’t leave immediately.
Powerless users were helplessly kicked out.
“hehehe, you did well to follow President Park.”
The Iron Blood Three Swords smirked.
Even if you play around with the knights and eat them, the level rises and the quest ends.
Wealthy game saeng who can get high-end items, quests, and materials simply by delivering them!
I was happy every day thinking that this is what the lives of building owners and high-ranking gold spoons are like.
It was literally like becoming the ruler of the Horizon Korean server.
– I have committed an evil deed.
– Karma has declined.
Although the karma was lowered, it could be restored with just a donation.
‘That’s not much compared to the profits coming in now, keuhuh.’
If you monopolize all famous honey hunting grounds, you can earn thousands of gold every day.
That’s about as far as falling for the Iron Blood Three Swords.
Hunting is easy, and taxes are free.
I was able to feel what the life of a real power person is like, to the bone, which I have never experienced in reality.
Of course, the Iron Blooded Army had no intention of ending there.
“Take all the rebel guild control hunting grounds and buildings! Especially for the Five Star guys, not even a single 100 won bill is left behind!”
Conference room where executives gather.
The Iron Blooded Army, who won the title of ‘King Slayer’, hit the table.
“Aren’t the enemy guilds still left? If you resist, use that as an excuse to kill them all, and start killing them infinitely at the resurrection base.”
“My lord, I don’t have enough troops to manage all of them, right?”
Hunting became easier, but the number of Iron Blooded Warriors guild members was still the same as before.
The iron-blooded army sneered and replied.
“Use NPC soldiers. If it’s not enough, hire mercenaries. Those guys hang around the streets all the time.”
“How do I get the gold that goes into it… … .”
“I’ve been thinking about that too.”
The iron-blooded soldiers looked around at the officers and gave an order.
“Starting tomorrow, lock down the hunting grounds and NPCs that give quests. You have to pay the entrance fee.”
“… … !”
The next day, the announcement of the Iron and Blood Warriors Clan was announced through the site.
[Title: Announcing ‘New’ Guidelines for Control of Iron and Blood Warriors Clan.]
-By: Iron-Blooded Troopers
-Content: Hello everyone, I am the Iron Blooded Troopers. Now that the large-scale event is over, the Bone Clan… … .
several pages of content.
To sum it up, it was simple.
-The Guild Alliance, Five Star, and Ark Guilds are hostile, so kill them.
-Dungeons and repeatable quests inside Baran Kingdom now require an entrance fee. Admission is half of the total revenue. In addition, a penalty will be collected if you are caught doing something other than the specified quest lines.
-If you violate the above rules, you will be killed infinitely until the resurrection point.
A control system that can only be seen in past, billing games!
Public opinion reacted violently.
＞Crazies, since I paid 50%, only experience was left.
＞This is why ‘those guys’ shouldn’t seize power. uh… … .
A reaction that seemed to boil right away.
However, in-game, no one came forward.
reason? Simple.
This was because NPC soldiers and knights rushed in and arrested him at the slightest sign of rebellion.
＞Once you get arrested, it’s over. After being executed on the spot and resurrected, they guarded the resurrection point and killed them until they gave up.
＞I really should quit this CX game. what are you doing dying
＞Yeah~ I won’t perish without you~ It doesn’t matter if I go~.
＞No lol That’s why you’re not going to play Godgame Horizon!
Numerous users complaining of pain but unable to play Horizon.
It was worth it.
Compared to Horizon, which realized reality beyond reality, other games were nothing more than polygon chunks or text levels.
＞I start the resistance. Even if it sucks, I’ll have to stop them.
＞Horizon Galgil Recruitment. If only you come, go~For more information on signup, go to the gal notice post and cocoa open talk!
Users who decided to resist began to join local aristocratic warlords or resistance groups.
Meanwhile, someone asked.
＞Hey, but what happened to Fafnir?
＞Hmm??
＞Fafnil. The contribution was 1st, so there was a lot of bounty, but I didn’t see it at all.
＞Is that so? where did you go
The start of a new question.
＞Aren’t you in the East now?
＞I think I saw you fighting on the field the last day.
Five Star, Ark, and even the Iron-Blooded Clan couldn’t keep up with Fafnir’s contribution.
Fafnil became a celebrity on the Korean server by ranking first in overall contribution.
It was natural to be curious about Fafnil’s future.
＞ There is no news that he was caught, so he must be active somewhere, right?
＞Probably growing very hard in high-level dungeons or unexplored fields.
＞In ways we can’t even imagine.
＞Contribution ranks first.
In addition, users also looked forward to Fafnir.
The expectation that he might be able to put an end to the dictatorship of the Iron and Bloodless Blood Pledge.
＞I hope you come later and kill those Sangvis bastards.
＞Please… … !
＞(Image of an otter praying with hands together)
1st place in contribution is usually not enough.
He must have beaten the absurdly difficult quests one after another.
* * *
“That guy is ours!”
“This is ours!”
The users who arrived in the unexplored region were scattered in all directions.
Ten parties of eight people, totaling 80 people.
“Wow, how long has this been hunting?”
“Finally, I can relax to the fullest.”
After the unified battle, the players belonging to the revival army could not hunt comfortably even once.
I had to walk without missing the procession going south, and after arriving, I had to build a camp and defend against monsters.
It is a bonus to hear the unicorns ridicule or curse.
＞Oh, this is no joke.
＞There is only some kind of marching or laboring work;
Naturally, the number of dissatisfied users was increasing.
Confined to the base, I had to do only work, and the only thing I could do was to train my skills.
Even though I knew that the treatment was better compared to other places, I was annoyed because I couldn’t directly experience it.
It was then that Fafnir introduced the unexplored region.
“You can start now.”
As soon as Fafnir gave permission, the users started moving.
“Whoaaa!”
“We will go over there!”
Capybara hunting started everywhere.
But as time passed, things got weirder.
What a profit!
“Aww!”
“Bar, the shield is dented!”
The attacked capybaras moved.
Despite being the size of a small truck, they were faster than most beasts of prey.
It instantly speeds up to the point where you can’t see it, and changes direction freely.
Tankers who were supposed to block the front were busy avoiding them.
“Attack now!”
Melee users somehow approached and stabbed the knife, but it didn’t work as well as expected.
The thick fur and fat layer began to shed the attack.
To catch it properly, you have to jump on it and poke a point, but the speed of the capybara was fast enough to do that.
For the same reason, magic and arrows were not working well.
“Is this harder than you thought?”
“Wow, go that way!”
A commotion from far away.
However, Fafnir was immersed in the work without paying attention to it.
From noble mtl dot com.
– Gathering was successful.
-Obtained ‘Thousand Horn Carat’.
‘How long have you been together? Inventory window.’
[Thousand Horn Carat]
-Rating: Unique
– Classification: Material
-Effect: Increases intelligence status by +3 when used, increases maximum MP by 150 (This effect is applied once per character.)
-Description: A magical herb with a legend that is said to be made by gathering a thousand spirits. A huge amount of mana is gathered, and it has an extraordinary effect on mana absorption and mana amplification.
-Current number: 49
Succeeded in finding and collecting as many as 49 in two hours!
It’s not a professional herbalist’s order, but the yield was just below the level.
And that’s not all.
The herbal gathering skill level also rose, and I was able to get up to +1 extra dexterity.
While digging high-level herbs with control, his skill proficiency rose rapidly.
‘This is enough for me to write.’
Fafnir grinned.
‘All that’s left is to collect seeds to make a farm, so I can do it slowly.’
At the time of the novel, Thousand Horn Carat was a very expensive herb.
Eating it directly has the effect of raising the status, but the real use is the material.
It was not only used in the production of high-end golems and skeleton soldiers, but was also the main ingredient in ‘heavenly strengthening agents’ applied to epic items.
The bones of Max Capybara were similar.
A Max Capybara that eats Thousand Horn Carats with enormous mana.
The bone was able to naturally accept a lot of mana, and by using its unique properties, it was possible to create powerful armor, seams, or catalysts.
‘And it’s also an item that can only be obtained in a few places in the world.’
So, make sure to stock up on as many as you can during this time.
Fafnil, who was trying to concentrate again, raised his head.
‘Something over there is a bit noisy.’
Fafnir, who was watching the players hunting, narrowed his eyes.
‘It looks more difficult than I thought.’
Looks like hunting isn’t going as well as expected.
Fafnir, who was watching, shrugged.
‘Well, I’ll figure it out on my own.’
Originally, when you first do it, you learn by rolling and getting dusty.
Besides, compared to other monsters, these guys are on the weak side.
It was then.
“there!”
“Avoid!”
Papat, a Max Capybara that the users missed ran towards Fafnir.
For a moment, Fafnir dodged to the side and stabbed his sword.
Let’s go!
The capybara, attracted by aggro, turned 180 degrees.
At that moment, Fafnir rolled on the ground and moved several meters.
Naturally, a composition was created with skeleton soldiers in front of the capybara and Fafnir behind.
Kirik?
Max Capybara, who missed Fafnir, tilted his head. After falling back, as if trying to find it, he slowly stepped back.
‘Now.’
Fafnir thrust his sword into the ass of the approaching creature.
Burn End!
Hey hey hey hey!
Max Capybara, stabbed in the butt, let out a terrifying scream.
What mattered was that the capybara had stopped moving.
“Poke it now!”
At Fafnir’s command, the skeleton soldiers rushed like a swarm of fire ants that caught their prey. Skeleton soldiers climbed up on his body and stabbed them with spear knives.
talent… … . hey hey… … .
The body of Max Capybara, who fell down in an instant after being hit by the poop, turned gray.
-Experience gained.
-Obtained Max Capybara’s meat.
“Are you okay there?”
“I got it! wow… … .”
Users who ran late opened their mouths.
“How did you catch it?”
“Wow, it was almost full blood, but in 5 seconds… … .”
A dumbfounded look at a capybara that died so easily that it was pointless.
“It’s easy once you know the trick.”
The user who saw Fafnir answering in a clear way lowered his head in amazement.
“oh… … . Fafnil! I’m really sorry! I should have apologized first.”
“We made a mistake and the aggro bounced. You brought me… … .”
“it’s okay. It wasn’t much of a hindrance.”
In fact, I caught it right away, and since I knew it wasn’t my intention, I wasn’t too upset.
In the first place, these people were hunting hard to acquire materials for Fafnir.
“Anyway, it seems that hunting isn’t going well?”
“ah… … .”
“Yes, like Fafnir-nim, I don’t think I have the skills or level… … .”
“That can’t be the case, my level is 130.”
“yes? So, are you like us?”
“Then how did you just… … . Did you use some kind of hidden skill?”
It was users who couldn’t catch a feeling.
‘hmm… … .’
Fafnir stroked his chin.
‘At this rate, only herbs will fill the inventory.’
The ratio of the two ingredients must be balanced, but if only one side is piled up, it cannot be used properly when needed.
The leftover ingredients will become malicious stock as it is.
In order to prevent such a thing from happening, it seemed that at least some help would have to be provided.
“It’s not like that. I will teach you a simple trick, so please teach it to others as well.”
Fafnir taught the users how to hunt sheep.
From guiding by blocking one’s path to a hole in the butt, which is a weakness.
“Ass, that is, if you let go of the dung spit, your movement speed will decrease dramatically. If you poke it properly at that time, it is easy to catch.”
“ah… … !”
“I will try!”
Users nodded and went back.
“You want to try this?”
“hmm… … . Let’s try it.”
The other party members also took up their positions and started hunting.
The results were astonishing.
“oh… … . Get caught!”
“now!”
Capybara, which could not be caught in 10 minutes, started to be caught one every minute!
Aside from getting a little dirty when poking at a weak point, it was an excellent hunting method that was beyond reproach.
Meh eh eh!
While the screams of the capybaras pierced their buttocks resounded everywhere, the users continued to hunt hard.
“Wow, I can’t move because it stabs a real weakness.”
“Honestly, do you think the same will happen?”
“Don’t talk. Right now, I’m holding on tight to the buttocks.”
“Still, it’s sweet. Look at the hunting speed.”
Players put a knife in the capybara’s butt and quickly beat it.
Unlike the first time, the users who had time to even chat were exchanging words.
“But you heard that right? To Fafnir-sama?”
“This trick? yes.”
“oh… … .”
“How could you have thought of this as soon as you saw it? You seem to be moving right away without thinking about it.”
The users who were talking about it tilted their heads.
“Have you tried it before?”
“Then that is huge in its own way. You solved all the hacks you devised for free.”
“That too.”
“Whatever it means, it’s great.”
Even simple tricks are often sold at high prices in the Horizon Market.
Fafnir was already regarded as a great person by the users from solving it insignificantly.
“Where do you belong to a large guild?”
“Looking at it earlier, it didn’t seem like I was being ordered.”
“I said Necromancer… … . Shall I try a neck in the next class?”
In addition, some users dreamed of becoming a necromancer like Fafnir.
Meanwhile, Fafnir rose from his seat.
‘At this level, the work of sourcing materials has been completed.’
You could go right back to the camp and receive the next quest, but before that, there was one more thing left to do.
‘Then I have to go to the main work now.’
Mount Aiolos is the place where Flush gets a lot of hidden pieces.
Having been there first, now was the time to really screw it up.
