209 – A Nail Named You #10
In fact.
The 「Crown of the Wrong」 itself wasn’t a very good item.
What should I say, the items you get while progressing the story are good, as they usually are, but it feels ambiguous to aim for the highest point?
If I obtain it, I will become the transcendent Victor—there is no such thing.
A story item that is used brightly and then thrown away.
Because that is the identity of the crown, to a deceased person like me, the crown was frankly an unattractive item.
By the way.
Now that I’m aiming for it like a first-time player, it was kind of funny. Who would have known that he would risk his life for an item that would be replaced after a while.
“A river of fire.”
Returning to the club room, I opened Ludens’s map.
Then he pointed to the east and said.
“I’m probably referring to a dungeon somewhere in this volcanic region. There is a high probability that it is the [Dragon’s Nest], where melted rocks flow all year round due to the heat emitted by the Fire Dragon.”
“Yo, dragon… .”
Nike trembled at the word dragon.
He looked very frightened, like a raccoon frozen in front of a flying hawk.
If I had been hooked, I would have grabbed Nike with my thick claws and snatched him away.
By the way.
The reason I’m scared right now wasn’t because Nike was scared.
Victorica and Enio were also nervous about the name dragon.
– Kreureung… .
Even the bravest spiders are wary.
Victoria asked.
“I heard that in order to catch a dragon, the sum of your stats must be at least 200? I think I heard that the dragon slayer Siegfried’s total stats were around 220… .”
“yes. At least that is the proper level.”
Shall we look at the status window first?
「Name: Victor lv. 27
Title: Hound
Read at noblemtl.com
Quirks: none
Strength: 38/100
Agility: 2/100
Stamina: 68/100
mana: 2/100
Charm: 9/100 (+10)
Remaining: 4」
If you add up all the stats, it’s about 133.
It does not reach 200, the ability level that is said to be able to hunt fire dragons.
Enio, who seemed to be pondering for a long time, asked.
“A total of 200… . Does such a person exist in Ludens today? That’s a monster, not a human. A superman or something.”
That’s right.
As far as I know, the title ‘Hero’ is obtained from the sum of 200 stats.
To become a hero like Hercules, Siegfried, or Arthur, you need to level up or arm yourself with good items.
Without it, the dragon’s attack is impossible.
And I realized something here.
I think the reason why the crown was designed to appear in the ‘River of Flame’ this time is because of the DLC.
Recently, several bosses have appeared at the same time, or important items have been placed so that they appear in places with high level restrictions… .
The difficulty of this DLC is quite high, and I thought that the content was made for people with a long play time.
Whatever it is, there is no choice between me and us now.
Wouldn’t it be possible at the end of the second semester?
It’s only summer vacation now.
There is no way that the Seonghwangcheong will stay still for the next half year… .
“I have no choice but to do it.”
collect items.
Since you have to level up through nogada, in order to raise your abilities in the short term, you have no choice but to collect a lot of legendary and mythical items in Ludens.
But it seems that that alone is not enough.
So I decided to call everyone together.
* * *
“friend! It’s here!”
As I headed towards the cafe, a large man waved his arm. He’s big and has a big voice, so the inside of the cafe is buzzing.
“Melvin, you’re still full of energy.”
“It’s vacation! I can’t help but feel full of energy!”
Compared to Melvin, the heavy warrior who laughed loudly, the deermid sitting next to him was quite calm. There is no other Confucius with an elegant form drinking tea with Hororok.
“Victor, what is the purpose of calling us?”
At Diarmid’s question, I looked around lightly.
These guys must be busy in their own way.
In many ways, it would be better to be straightforward.
So, I answered seriously.
“I will hunt dragons.”
Pooh-!
“… … .”
I frowned at the hot spray on my face.
Dearmid, you dare to spit tea in a person’s face.
“Collock, Coke.”
Deermid coughing.
To that guy, “What are you so mean? Did something get stuck in your throat?” Melvin banged his back.
And even the girls who glanced at those guys from afar.
“D, Dear Mid’s holy water… .”
“Spray me… .”
“Victor, that guy, I can’t forgive him.”
what can’t you forgive
Rather, am I not the victim?
anyway.
It’s confusing.
Dearmid, who wiped his mouth, cleared his throat a few times with a hmm-hmm- and then said.
“sorry. I didn’t spit it out on purpose. I heard such an amazing story.”
Dearmid held out his handkerchief to me.
“ruler.”
However, the handkerchief that wiped his mouth was already damp.
I’m in trouble, so the women who were secretly overhearing this conversation next to me say, “I’ll give you mine!” and change handkerchiefs.
“Weep-ha. Dearmid’s hand-to-hand words… ! The only drug Ludens allowed… .”
“Hey, give it to me! me too… .”
“I will live! 50,000, no, 500,000 Renae… !”
What is this?
Somehow, my head hurts.
Rather, 500,000 Renae for a handkerchief that costs only 5,000 Renae?
Deermid’s premium is attached. Is it this?
“I envy you, the popular guy.”
When I said a mix of sincerity and joke, Dearmid said, “Victor, what are you going to say—”, but the latter part was all covered up by the women’s sharp voices.
“I’m sorry, can everyone please leave? We’ll all go on a nice date later.”
“Wow!”
The cafe became quiet only after the women rushed out at Deermid’s words.
Dearmid sighed and said.
“So what are you going to hunt?”
“It is a dragon.”
“When you say dragon, you mean a monster with steel scales and wings, right? A being that breathes fire from its mouth and sometimes uses ancient magic that cannot be understood by human wisdom.”
Deermid seems to have been surprisingly knowledgeable about dragons.
Soon, Melvin shouts loudly from the side.
“If you apply dragon’s blood on your body, you will become invincible… ! If you drink blood, you will be immortal… ! However, everyone gets hit by the dragon’s flames and teeth… !”
That’s true too.
It’s not to the point of immortality or immortality, but [dragon’s blood] obtained from hunting dragons was an important material for crafting top-tier items.
Dearmid asked calmly.
“But Victor. There’s no other way for us to hunt dragons, right? A person who catches a dragon is called a hero. In other words, only a hero can slay dragons.”
“That’s right.”
“Same goes for the Hydra that Hercules killed. Same with the dragon that Siegfried killed. I heard that other dragons were also ferocious. Killing such a dragon?”
“yes. Before that, I want to ask you one thing. What is the sum of your abilities right now?”
“I am 120, and Deermid is about 130… !”
said Melvin aloud.
Of course, Dearmid scolded them, saying, “Hey, no matter how close we are, what if you carelessly inform us?”, but he didn’t seem to care.
“Is it 120 or 130? high.”
higher than expected
Can this be considered the level of hunting throughout the first semester?
Looking at it now, the equipment they were wearing was of a high quality that matched their level.
“I’ll wear it!”
cried Melvin.
He hasn’t even mentioned it yet, but he seems to be interested in catching dragons.
“Of course I wear deermids too!”
“Hey, why do you decide on your own?”
“You’re going to accept it anyway!”
“that’s… is it? well, that would be fun More than anything, Viktor, the reason this guy brought up the story must be because he is confident. Is there any way?”
At Dearmid’s words, I quietly thought.
how to catch a dragon
It’s not very rare.
“I want to bring a lot of people together. Melvin, Dearmid. If you have anyone you can recommend, please tell me.”
“Well, there are a lot of people. Luke, he’s perfect for this kind of thing. that guy is strong He uses very strange swordsmanship, is it amazing?”
“Are you Luke… .”
To the extent that Deermid praised it, it seemed that Luke was getting stronger step by step without even realizing it.
“Is that why you’ve been busy seeing faces lately?”
As I mutter lightly, Dearmid raises his eyebrows.
“You don’t seem to be particularly busy. Viktor, you should go to some men’s gatherings too. I know you’re busy making money and doing things, but I mean.”
“If you’re talking about men’s gatherings, are you talking about secret bases?”
Melvin laughed at my words.
“What, did you know? then join in Membership fee is 10,000 Ren per week. It will be so much fun when you come! Not too long ago, the progress of the student council came! Just in time, we are gathering today!”
You pay your dues.
By the way, I already knew about the men’s gathering at the secret base.
Even in the game, the main character, Luke, and some male students get together to form a ‘secret society’.
I said grandiosely that it was a secret society, but there’s not much to say about the activities there.
It’s just like going through the 「Health Textbook」 or playing mini-games, etc.
It seems to have been the same this time.
“It’s a meeting… .”
Since you need to gather people to hunt dragons, it wouldn’t hurt to try participating.
* * *
“Then see you later, friend!”
Hearing Melvin’s loud farewell, I slipped out of the cafe.
The next thing to go to is the executive committee members like Skadi and Hilde.
These members of the executive committee are the ones who can be made friends from the 2nd playthrough onwards, so they basically have high specs. It will help you organize a raid to hunt dragons.
Also, was there Akasha?
I think I’ll have to use Kyeongkong to seduce Akasha, but… .
“How long are you planning to follow me?”
I stopped and asked.
Then, the popularity that had been following me until just now also stopped.
“Did you notice?”
“It smells like cigarettes, but I can’t help but notice it.”
When I turned around, there was a nun with a cigarette in her mouth.
It’s Therese.
“I wanted to secretly follow you to places where people are rare. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
“What are you doing?”
When I asked, Therese shrugged lightly.
“There’s nothing to be wary of, kid. Did I, what, eat you? Although it is true that I am a little angry with you.”
“Are you mad at me?”
“He did something that was not even funny. Cain and Arkwright’s interrogation date was delayed thanks to that. I don’t know how you roasted the Duke of Balak, though?”
“… … .”
“It’s good that you don’t think about running away. A kid who makes fun of adults will get scolded. Do we seem easy enough to fall for the tricks of little kids like you?”
Therese sighs and blows smoke in my face.
Once, when I was still in high school, I was scolded by my cousin.
My cousin was very straight-faced, unlike usual when she was nice to me.
It was the first time I realized that kind people can be quite scary when they get angry.
Therese’s anger was just like that.
It was Therese who had been showing goodwill to me lately, but it seemed like she couldn’t help but be angry about this incident.
“My sister has been so good to me. There must be a punishment for the shameful little boy.”
Shuk.
Therese pulls out something.
It was a fairly long, pointed nail.
