Chapter 221: Wantwork relief and breakthrough
The next morning, I was short of sleep. When I tried to sleep, that Karasuma Tengu's smile came to my mind and when I closed my eyes to think of something else, I saw Kitsunekos change on my eyelids...resulting in this situation.
I washed my face, made breakfast and ate. I drank a cup of coffee to shake off the sleepiness and logged into the game.
Then there was a rush of emails. This is something that happened!
I left the room and went downstairs to find the usual members.
You're late!
That's the first thing I hear...anyway, I get an explanation and apparently yesterday's skeleton rider attack and draugrbeast happened in other countries as well.
The draugrbeast apparently appeared in the Reich Empire and Veinreef. In both cases, the players tried to defeat them, but they couldn't defeat the Draugrbeast, so they were forced to siege them.
And while Wantwork managed to fight off the skeleton riders, they took some damage. And the main zombie army was on its way.
They thought they couldn't defend themselves, so they called for help from the surrounding countries. Of course, they've come to Freetia.
"Princess Sarah has asked us to come to the rescue of Wantwork"
"She wants to help them because Wantwork is one of the few countries in the world that accepts subraces"
"The reward is a silver weapon for us and we need your help to complete the quest"
Ah...then I have no choice but to go...
"How do we get there? You can't use the warp gate, right?"
"But there is a griffon"
Mugu!? ...Lesser Griffons. I don't know what to say, but I'm going to be pissed.
"No, I'm sure there are, but...is there anyone else besides me..."
No, there isn't!
What the hell...and then Rook asks me.
"Rather, Takuto-san, how many summoned beasts of the third evolution are there?"
"Emm...if you take out the synthetic summons, there are 13"
Too many!
Even if you say so...this is what happens when you're adventuring. And then Tristan-san asks me something I'm really curious about.
"Are Liqueur and Darley evolving?"
"Yes, they have. Liqueur is a Monoceros and Darley is a Red Hare"
Red Hare!?
Well, are they surprised there...Tyrol asks.
"Takuto-san, mofumofu!?"
"Byakuya and Yuuga are not good"
Summon!
Everyone asks me to do it, but Ruin.san stops it.
"Yes, yes. Now the rescue of Wantwork is the highest priority. Takuto-kun, can you ride a horse?"
"Ah~...Darley's equipment is not ready yet. Liqueur can ride"
"Will I be able to ride?"
"It depends on the person...both of them seem to only let people ride if they like it...in any case, there's corrosion, so it's probably better to ride Hix"
Ruin-san agreed.
"That's true...then, can you do me a favor? Here's a permission slip for you, Takuto-kun"
"Yes"
So, I and Bran get on Hix and give them a breath. Hix wears a whirlwind and I use warp gate to warp to Fast Town.
Sure enough, the warp destination is full of zombies. If I hadn't used the whirlwind, the zombies would have gone through the warp gate. I close the warp gate and head for Wantwork.
However, I'm chased from behind by a horde of Skull Bats. I was fortunate to have Bran come with me. I decided to ask her to show me her new skill.
"All right. I'll go!"
When Bran raised his spear to the sky, light poured down from the sky. Is that the Heaven Strike? It doesn't seem to have any effect, but...
"Heaven Strike!"
At the moment Bran says this, a very thick beam of light falls from the sky to the surface of the earth. And then a huge explosion. The Rotten Zombies look like garbage.
"Uh..."
Bran showed a pretense that seemed to be painful for a moment.
"Are you okay!?"
"I'm fine...it was just a reaction to the technique"
The power of heaven strike is great, but it seems that the weak points are that the range of the technique is wide, the charge time of the technique is long and there is a reaction of the technique. After that, it seems that it will take three days to reuse it.
It has a lot of weaknesses, but it is still a powerful move. After that, we arrived at Wantwork without any pursuit.
Wantwork was a country of skyscrapers. It's not a city, but it's at least a provincial city.
The only problem was that this country didn't have walls...it would be a siege, or rather a caged building.
I couldn't just barge in, so I got off.
I showed the guards my permit and they hurried to let me through. I checked the warp gate there and it was registered, so I let everyone through the warp gate.
This is Wantwork...I've seen the images on the bulletin board, but it really looks like reality..."
"Yes...it's a shame that this place will be just like Fast Town"
"...How did the town look?"
"There was nothing left of it...I think the buildings were destroyed by corrosion"
From the looks of it, I even wondered if the castle gate was really safe.
Anyway, we'll finish the quest now. As a result, we got a silver weapon. I was allowed to use ingots, so I had them made into silver ingots. Now I have a souvenir for Hephaestus.
There are voices from players who have acquired silver weapons that they may win.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)
Mel asks.
"...What do you think, Takuto-kun?"
"Impossible. The fact that they offered us with silver weapons is proof of that, right?"
Even if they had silver weapons, they couldn't win, so they called for help.
I know everyone is excited to have an effective weapon, but silver weapons are not resistant to corrosion...we can't fight properly unless we do something about this.
What should I do...is there any item that can give Bless to the weapon or fix the corrosion...
Hmm? An item that can fix the corrosion? I might be able to do something with that!
Back in Freetia, I ask Garou-san for a silver weapon that's been corroded and borrow it.
After that, I headed for the hot springs. The water in the hot springs has an effect on abnormal conditions. So what would happen to the corroded weapon if I soaked it?
As it turned out, it took a while, but the corroded silver weapon was back to normal!
I didn't appraise it, but I put the hot spring water into a pot and appraised it.
