Episode 89 – Endless status quo (2)
A story-linked quest that hasn’t changed in the meantime.
Xian stared blankly at the smartphone screen.
“Kyle’s legacy and Muriel’s legacy…”
A reward from a quest that had been ‘???’.
What came to mind as the contents of the quest changed this time was the legacy of Kyle and Muriel.
In the last Arnaise Hall, Xian had obtained one of Kyle’s legacy.
It was none other than Kyle’s Aura technique.
The fundamental way to deal with demonic energy, the magic spirit recipe.
I don’t know, but Kyle’s legacy this time.
It was probably something comparable to that.
And this was just speculation.
This time, I wondered if it would be the martial art that Kyle used himself.
Something other than Kyle’s swordsmanship, the Demon Sura Sword.
It can’t be purchased in mobile lords either.
and Muriel’s Legacy.
Although it was not Muriel’s legacy.
Xian had obtained Charlotte’s inheritance from Arnaise Hall.
It is none other than the subspace pouch, the inventory.
As an artifact, not just a magic tool.
I still use it quite, very usefully.
I don’t know what Muriel’s legacy is.
Wouldn’t this also be something comparable to the inventory?
in short.
“Are you crazy?”
The compensation could be said to be crazy.
however.
“hmm···.”
Xian tilted his head.
That is also the newly changed quest content.
“What are you talking about?”
Because I didn’t know what to do.
Xian checked the contents of the quest once again.
『The secret that lies dormant in Muriel’s ruins!
What is the secret of that!?!』
It was just written …
Of course, I know that you have to dig up the secret.
And I also know that the secret is in Muriel’s ruins.
however.
“Where are Muriel’s remains?”
Where the hell is Muriel’s remains?
Arnaise, the six people who saved the world a thousand years ago.
Although they were heroes who remained in the history of the continent.
Ironically, there were no relics related to them.
To be precise, there was only one thing that could be called a ruin related to Arnaise.
It was none other than the Arnaise Hall in the basement of the imperial palace.
There was only the hall built by Arnaise’s leader, Charlotte.
Other than that, there was nothing.
At least Xian knows.
So, all that was known to the world was the Arnaise Hall.
“Are you talking about the Arnaise Hall?”
However, Xian quickly shook his head.
If he did, he would have reacted right away when he was in the hall.
Therefore, it was not the Arnaise Hall.
It means that there is another remains of Muriel other than the hall.
But where are you?
Xian thought over and over again.
But do you know where to go to places you don’t know?
“Are you at the Vatican?”
That was all I could guess.
“Then, does Arya know?”
The holy woman of the Holy Empire, Aria.
And the status of a saint was firmly established even within the Holy Empire.
below the pope.
One step above Cardinal.
To put it mildly, it could be said that it was a place for everyone.
Even Arya possesses the strongest divine power in the history of the Holy Empire.
It was an existence called the reincarnation of Muriel.
Her beauty is also truly transcendent.
To people, he was more than a pope.
If it was Arya like that, she might know something about Muriel’s ruins.
Wasn’t Muriel also a saint in the first place?
what to worry about
“Let’s ask.”
Xian wrote a letter to Arya.
#
After sending a letter to Arya.
Xian steadily proceeded with preparations to earn gold.
Once ascending to the top of Ruben Brahe.
Xian and Amelia quickly prepared for the upswing.
Of course, Xian wasn’t going to follow suit this time.
This uptrend is purely Amelia’s responsibility.
I wonder if Amelia knows how to do it well.
Currently, the amount of gold Xian needed was almost 10 million gold units.
How can I stay still!
So Xian purifies the magic of the mana stone in his spare time.
He helped Amelia and prepared for the ascending of the guild.
I prepared for the trip day and night like that.
“Make a lot of money, Amelia!”
“Just leave it to me!!”
Amelia fully met Xian’s expectations.
I left for the west of the empire again.
Right after leaving Amelia like that.
“I finished one.”
Xian returned to Ruben again.
And he moved to a place other than the lord castle Lv.2.
It is none other than Morkru’s Blacksmith’s Lv.1 located in the Industrial District.
It was to meet Semir.
It was to check the S-grade sword that he had requested while preparing for the ascend with Amelia.
Enhanced perks with reputation points.
I couldn’t enjoy the effect of the perk right now.
At least I was able to buy an S-class weapon.
The upgrade value of Knight Training Center Lv.5 was 4 million gold.
However, Xian’s bar gold was 2.57 million gold.
I couldn’t do anything right now.
So, there is one thing Xian can do right now.
“I need to get stronger.”
enforce.
If you succeed in strengthening your SS grade sword, you can get ‘Achievement: For the best weapon!’
Then I could study ‘Morcru’s Metallurgy’.
Because of that, we were able to mass-produce S-grade equipment!
Of course, the probability of success was only 5%.
Still, maybe…
Is it really something you don’t know about?
“It must have been finished by now, right?”
Xian went to Morkru’s Blacksmith Lv.1 with a fluttering heart.
The forge that arrived like that.
kang! kang!
Is Semir still working?
A violent hammering sound came from outside the forge.
Even if I knocked, I wouldn’t hear it anyway.
Xian immediately opened the door to the smithy.
“Semir. I am here.”
As soon as he opened the blacksmith’s door, Xian could feel the heat rising.
And I could also see Semir hammering.
“You are here.”
When Xian appeared, Semir stopped hammering for a moment.
Slightly out of breath, drenched in sweat.
Even the corners of my eyes were sore, it seemed like I had been working all night.
Sian laughed awkwardly and asked Semir.
“Is everything finished?”
“If you do this, everything will be complete. Please wait a moment.”
Semir raised the hammer again.
Tendons swelled up on his flabby forearm.
Kaang-!!
Suddenly, a roar like thunder broke out.
“woah···.”
Sian let out an exclamation involuntarily.
The roar of the explosion made even the air around it shudder.
What would happen if that hammer struck something other than an anvil?
Sian had never seen Semir fight.
In the battle against the demon of indolence, Nurbia, briefly.
However, it was a bit too much to call it a battle.
Not only did Semir not treat Nurbia sincerely with Helen’s vessel.
In the first place, Nurbia was also very overwhelming.
That’s why Xian didn’t know much about Semir’s fighting ability…
Kwak-!!
I thought I would never be weak.
After all, he’s a descendant of the Goddess Morkru…
The moment I thought about it.
“Whoa…! Everything is complete!”
Semir’s voice was heard.
Before long, Semir handed Xian six swords and one piece of armor.
All S-grade equipment.
It was simple to request 6 swords.
Because what Xian had to strengthen was an SS grade sword.
Reinforcement required equipment of the same grade.
For every 2 swords of S rank.
I was able to make 1 SS grade sword.
Anyway, a whopping 2.1 million gold was spent on production costs alone.
“Oh, you’ve worked hard.”
Sian accepted Semir’s hand with trembling hands.
And run straight mobile lords.
I immediately went into the 【Enhancement】 item.
Then, various explanations came to mind, but Xian simply passed them away.
It was a 100% chance to go from S rank to SS rank anyway.
Xian immediately strengthened 6 S-grade swords.
3 enhancement costs, 150,000 gold evaporated.
I was able to get 3 SS grade swords right away.
“Whoa…!”
Xian let out a deep breath.
Because this was the beginning of a serious start.
Xian checked the screen of his smartphone.
[SS grade enhancement cost 100,000G]
[Enhancement success rate 5%]
Reinforcement costs are doubled.
Reinforcement odds have gone awry.
Xian pressed the ‘strengthen’ button with trembling hands.
Hold on.
《Let’s start strengthening!》
A new notification window popped up with a light touch.
And at the same time as the enhancement cost, 100,000 gold evaporated.
Whoaaagh!
For an instant, a bright light burst from the SS-grade sword.
Brightness as if facing the sunlight directly.
“please···! please···!”
Xian put his hands together and prayed fervently.
Tring!
《Would you like to skip the enhanced production?》
In the meantime, a notification window popped up asking if I would like to skip directing.
But Xian didn’t have the time to confirm it.
“Jebaaal…!!!!”
From nob le mt l. co m
Just pray that the reinforcement will be successful!
How much time had passed like that?
The bursting light gradually faded.
and.
Pampara night!!
A great fanfare broke out!
“Stop, no way!!”
Xian hurriedly checked the screen of his smartphone.
And a notification window popped up on the screen.
《Enhancement~~ Failed!》
“Don’t be mean!!”
Quaang!
Xian unwittingly threw down his fist!
Why is the fanfare going off when the reinforcement fails!
That guy’s babbling is real!
Xian gritted his teeth, biting down, swallowing the boiling resentment.
Even so, the anger that is not easily calmed down.
“Gwa, are you okay…?”
Xian couldn’t answer Semir’s words.
Right then.
Tring!
《Morcrew’s energy 5% (+5%)》
A notification window popped up on the screen.
“Morcrew’s energy?”
What is this?
The moment I had a question.
《When Morkru’s energy is 100% accumulated, the next level of enhancement will definitely succeed!》
《When the enhancement is successful, the accumulated energy of Morkru is reset!》
A notification window related to it popped up.
“uh···.”
therefore.
Morkru’s energy currently accumulated by 5%.
If this reaches 100%, the reinforcement will succeed unconditionally?
And you see…
It seemed to accumulate 5% for each failure.
In a word, if you fail 20 times, 100% is accumulated.
“ah···.”
Therefore, the achievement achievement condition is to have SSS grade equipment.
Or did you say 20 reinforcement failures?
After all, if you fail 20 times, the enhancement to the SSS level succeeds, right?
“·······”
Xian was speechless for a moment.
Should I have a conscience for this?
Or should I say sick and give medicine?
I couldn’t guess at all.
well, anyway.
“There are still two left.”
Morkru’s energy or whatever.
Can we succeed in strengthening this time!
Xian immediately pressed reinforcement.
And so.
Tring!
《Morcrew’s energy 15% (+10%)》
I was able to accumulate 15% of Morkur’s energy.
“sh*t!!!”
Kwaaang!
Xian closed his eyes tightly.
That should be the case now that the 3rd reinforcement failed.
The three SS-grade swords used for reinforcement all evaporated.
“Damn it!!!”
Xian couldn’t hold back the boiling anger.
“Jayenjaaang!!!”
I really had to put my anger out there for a long time.
It took such a long time for Xian to be able to calm down.
“ha···.”
Xian let out a deep sigh.
Well, was it a 5% chance…
In a way, it is a natural result.
anyway it is
“still···.”
There is something called Morkru’s energy.
I didn’t have to pour money endlessly.
“Where is this?”
Sian shook his head.
And then went back to the reinforcement section.
I failed to make an SSS grade sword.
Because the S-class armor remained.
And from S rank to SS grade, the probability of strengthening is 100%.
Xian pressed the strengthen button to upgrade the armor to SS grade.
however.
《Erorr: Insufficient enhancement cost.》
The notification sound that the reinforcement cost was insufficient came to mind.
“huh?”
Xian wanted something for a moment.
Then, he calmly recalled the gold he had used so far.
1 S-grade armor, 300,000 gold.
6 S-rank swords, 1.8 million gold.
Enhancement No. 3 made with an SS grade sword, 150,000 gold.
Enhancement No. 3 made with SSS-grade sword, 300,000 gold.
Total, 2.55 million gold.
Xian’s existing bar gold is 2.57 million gold.
So, the gold coins left for Xian now are…
[Current gold coins] – 20,000G.
20,000 gold.
However, the amount required to enhance the S rank was 50,000 gold.
Tring!
《If you want to strengthen it~♬, earn gold~!》
.
.
“aaa!!!!”
Xian almost threw his smartphone without even realizing it!
kill! sure to kill it!
It’s not a causal runaway, but a causal explosion even if it kills it for sure!!!!
“aaa!!”
Xian let out a scream that sounded like a scream for a while.
And Semir, who was watching it.
“·······”
Semir had nothing to say.
And just then.
“I heard that the young master is here…”
The door to the forge opened and an old man appeared.
none other than Hans.
Hans came into the forge and paused.
“aaa!!!”
I was able to find Xian who was screaming.
Hans asked Semir with a look of wanting something.
“Bocchan… why are you doing that?”
“That is···.”
Semir didn’t really have anything to say.
Hans and Semir just stared blankly at Xian.
After all, how much time had passed?
“Whoa…! Whoa…! huh? Hans? When did you come?”
Cyan, who had regained consciousness, recognized Hans.
“I came earlier, but…”
“okay?”
Xian asked Hans indifferently.
“What’s going on?”
“It’s not different. A letter addressed to you, Bocchan.”
“letter?”
At Xian’s question, Hans pulled out a letter from his chest.
Xian accepted the letter.
The sender who confirmed that was none other than Aria.
“Are you here already?”
It’s been a few days since I sent the letter.
Xian immediately opened the letter and checked its contents.
[hey!!!]
And the first sentence started like this.
[I sent you the demon detector not working!! Then you have to do something about it! But what is the answer to send? where are the remains? you really-.]
For some reason, from the beginning, there were words that were written on the street.
From the looks of it, he seemed quite angry.
Somehow I thought the letter would come soon.
“Anyway, with my temper head.”
Well… I was just angry.
Xian lowered his gaze.
And the conclusion written at the end of the letter.
“You know?”
As expected, Arya knew where Muriel’s remains were.
They say it’s somewhere in the Holy Empire…
The exact location was not stated.
And just look
It seems that he intends to propose a deal using this as an excuse…
“hmm···.”
Shall we exchange it for the demon detector Jerry is researching? the moment you want
“No.”
One thought that came to mind.
I’m already running out of gold right now.
I also want to visit Muriel’s ruins.
Xian wrote a letter to Arya again.
#
Holy Empire, Lutea.
And the Vatican, which can be said to be the core of Lutea.
bang.
Arya slammed the door and entered the room.
Seeing Arya like that, the priestess who assisted her, Laura, stood up.
“How did it go?”
“I decided to go after all.”
Arya replied and sat down in a chair.
Laura approached Arya.
Her silky hair was a little damaged, probably from the stress.
Laura silently straightened Arya’s hair.
“No, people are suffering from plague! Is it that hard to go and give some help?”
“Did Archbishop Lahir sniff again?”
Arya nodded.
“No matter how much you don’t eat words. If you want to help me, go see me. I said I would.”
After a while, Arya made a pouty expression.
Seeing Aria like that, Laura smiled softly.
A plague sweeping the southern part of the Holy Empire.
The plague of unknown cause was so strong that it was hard to find a precedent.
Even though all the priests of the parish were mobilized, the momentum was not dampened.
Perhaps that’s why the church seemed unable to make hasty decisions.
It was because if high-ranking priests of the Vatican visited and contracted the plague, it was just as embarrassing.
Even so, Arya did not hold back.
Well, it’s not like pestilence is a big deal to Arya who is full of divine power.
Even so, it’s just as difficult.
Not bragging about the bar position you have.
A saint who cares for people more than anyone else.
“There’s no such thing as a real Lahir bastard.”
It would be a really perfect woman if I could do something with that mop in my mouth.
What can you do?
Heaven is like that.
“If this is the case, there is nothing I can do about it.”
Laura shook her head.
“huh? What can’t you do?”
“Because I came.”
“and? what’s coming?”
“A letter.”
“letter? Laura, as I always say, things like love letters—”
Arya paused for a moment.
Then, with a quick turn, he asked Laura.
“Could it be Xian’s letter?”
“yes.”
Then, Aria was delighted and jumped up from her seat.
Seeing that, Laura burst into laughter.
“Are you that good?”
“What good! Stop talking nonsense again and give it to me quickly.”
“Yes, yes.”
Laura took the letter out of her arms and handed it to her.
Arya checked the contents of the letter as soon as she received it.
Because of that, Laura could also see the contents.
confirmed so.
It was so succinct.
There is no such thing as a rush.
just one sentence.
[Goes there.]
That was all.
“······ huh?”
“······ Eh?”
Aria’s and Laura’s expressions became blank at the same time.
And just then.
smart.
There was a knock on the door.
Before long, a priest’s voice came from outside the door.
– A person named Xian from the Charlotte Empire comes and makes a fuss about meeting the saintess…
Arya and Laura looked at each other.
