[You can only trigger the skills with the starting words: Connection (Inherit), Shatter (Destroy), Deep (Burst), Rain (Soar).]

There were two attacking skills that were added to his Ellie’s Swordsmanship. Blooming Sword, Deep (Burst) was literally a wide area of attack skill while Splitting Sword, Rain (Soar) was an attack that would send a very powerful sword.

‘There’s even a 110% additional attack power......’

The Splitting Sword, Rain (Soar) had tremendous attack power attached to it. In addition, there was an additional merit of not needing to approach the enemy to launch the attack. After he finished learning and absorbing the skill, Ellie handed the key to Minhyuk. Minhyuk excitedly received it as he finally opened the box.

Once the box opened, a sour yet mouth-watering smell wafted out and stung the tip of his nose. The item placed inside was an old wooden kettle. As soon as Minhyuk grabbed the handle of the kettle......

[You have acquired Ancient Yoplait.]

[You can get 5L of Ancient Yoplait from the wooden kettle.]

Minhyuk’s eyes widened in surprise when he heard the notification.

Yoplait was a fermented yogurt that smelled and tasted sour. One could make a variety of flavors with yoplait just by adding different fruits like strawberries or pineapple. You could even add honey for a different flavor.

“In the past, there was an amazing master craftsman in the Eivelis Empire who made this amazing yogurt. The yogurt that he made was so delicious that the Emperor of that time even declared his care for the craftsman. The craftsman gave his all and made his final and best yogurt for his descendants before dying. This yogurt would not go bad and stay delicious for quite a long time. In addition, even if this kettle looked and weighed like this, it could still hold a huge amount of yogurt inside.”

“Wow......”

Minhyuk was in awe. The thought of the endless food that he could make with this ancient yogurt made him feel both satisfied and happy.

He quickly pulled out a glass and poured some yoplait in it. He could see the white yoplait sloshing about in his glass. Its color was reminiscent of its maturity and taste. Then, he took a spoon and quickly took a bite of the yogurt.

‘Wow......’

The taste was surprisingly more sweet than sour considering the fact that it was left aging for quite a long time already.

However, to his shock, he did not hear any notifications after eating some of it. Minhyuk quickly checked the information of the ancient yoplait. He saw that the yogurt did not have any special abilities attached to it. But, even though it did not give him additional powers, Minhyuk was still satisfied with it because it was truly delicious.

“Are you going now?”

“Yes. I think I have to go to Valkyrie Kingdom now?”

“That’s right.”

Ellie nodded her head as she watched Minhyuk disappear in a flash of light.

***

Plenty of users had already arrived in the capital of Valkyrie Kingdom. There were users who successfully arrived in the capital because they were part of a subjugation force or a mercenary group while some came through quests. Some even tried to find ways to enter Valkyrie Kingdom through the information that they had gathered from the official website of Athenae. And because of that, the streets of the capital of Valkyrie Kingdom were now completely crowded.

Most of these users were quite intrigued and curious because the Kingdom Knights and soldiers were all moving busily.

“Did you hear? Today is the day when the Legend Guild will be awarded with a title and territory. I also heard that the knights and soldiers are all busy because they are preparing to welcome the Frying Pan Killer.”

“Heok......?! They’re waiting to greet a user?”

“He’s not just a simple user. He’s the Frying Pan Killer, the hero of the Northern Continent, you know?”

“Amazing. Even the king is preparing to greet a foreigner.”

For quite a lot of users, the Frying Pan Killer was already a celebrity.

Meanwhile, the guild members of Legend Guild were all gathered in front of the castle. And among them, Genie, Khan and Locke were talking among themselves.

“......The old man who is good at making coffee will be our vassal?”

“Yeah......”

“Don’t you think we should persuade him a bit?”

“I, Is that so?”

Minhyuk was not answering their whispers again so they thought that he was probably eating something delicious again. They knew that Minhyuk would often turn off his whispers whenever he was going to eat something so it was a bit easy to conclude about what he was doing when his whispers were turned off.

“Anyway, Zank said that he would be coming to our temporary base after the peerage ceremony is over. I think we can try and convince him by then.”

Zank was one of the Thousand Heavenly Spear Masters. He was the NPC that they had built a high favorability with.

At that moment, the users were suddenly in a buzz.

“K, King Varen is running?”

“Heok?!”

The Legend guild members turned to look at the scene. They were quite shocked to see King Varen’s face suddenly glowing brightly. He looked like he was someone who had finally seen his long lost first love. He even threw off his subordinates as he ran towards someone.

When they looked at the direction where he was headed, they saw a young man standing there with a lid of yoplait in his hand. And it was even a strawberry flavored yoplait from what they could see.

After the man had licked everything on the lid, he suddenly took out a bucket of yoplait as he placed a dollop on the lid in his hand. Then, he began to lick it again.

“As expected. Yoplait is much more delicious if you lick it from the lid.”

“......”

“......”

The users all around him were left speechless. Then, one of them spoke up......

“But where is the Frying Pan Killer?”

“I know right? I think that guy is just a cosplay user.”

“But that yoplait really looks delicious......”

The people looked around everywhere to try and find the whereabouts of the Frying Pan Killer. Then, they heard King Varen say......

“Did you just arrive? Our Valkyrie Kingdom’s Hero!!!!”

And Minhyuk who took a sip of the coffee looked extremely impressed.

“Kgghk. You’re really good at making coffee now!”

Khan mumbled to himself as he watched this weird scene.

“Th, that old man...... He’s completely Minhyukiefied......”

“Huh. Yeah......”

My goodness! I can’t believe that he added hundreds of instant coffee in one thermos!

“Can I please have a cup of coffee too......”

“Boy. Why don’t you take it yourself? Do you have no hands or feet? I can’t believe that you’re asking an old man like me to deliver it to you!”

Even though Old Man Ben was completely Minhyukiefied(?) he was still cold and strict towards other people. Then, he turned towards Minhyuk.

“Do you want another cup?”

“I think I need about 50 more cups! Let’s do tea time during the mornings!”

“As expected.”

The guild members could only laugh helplessly as they watched the harmonious atmosphere between the two of them.

While everyone was enjoying their cups of coffee, Genie had finally decided to bring up the matter about the vassals.

“Minhyuk-ah, how did you get to know him?”

“He was a fisherman at sea and one way or another it ended up with him saying that he had to stay with me forever.”

Gennie nodded her head when she heard his words.

‘Minhyuk, who has a soft spot for the elderly, must have supported(?) him. But he’s still just an NPC.’

Genie sighed as she looked at Locke and Khan and gestured outside with her chin. The three of them all walked outside to talk.

“Let’s just have that old man as our vassal.”

“Is there really no other way?”

Khan smiled wryly. He could see that Minhyuk quite liked the Old Man’s coffee.

It’s a bit unfortunate that an old man like him will be our first vassal but it’s just the inevitable, right?

Considering the fact that only Minhyuk could recruit the three vassals, he was a bit hesitant to fill one spot with an old man. However, he had no choice since Minhyuk looked like he had taken a liking on the old man so he just had to fill the rest with strong men.

At that moment, one of the Thousand Heavenly Spear Masters, Zank, arrived.

“Did the Viscount-nim arrive?”

“Ah. Yes. He already arrived.”

“Will the Viscount-nim really grant me the favor that I talked to you about before?”

“I haven’t had the time to bring it up yet......”

Right now, he would be recruited as the second vassal but they haven’t had the time to talk to Minhyuk about him yet. However, if they sent Zank away then they would probably risk losing favorability with him.

Genie pondered for a bit and decided to let him greet Minhyuk.

“Yes. The Viscount-nim is inside. I think it’s better if you greet him first.”

“I understand.”

Zank nodded his head as he turned to walk inside.

He was a man in his thirties and he was someone whose level was a bit higher than Genie’s. But his back looked extremely wide and reliable in their eyes.

But just as they entered the base, Zank suddenly took a step back.

“Aaah......”

His body trembled as he looked at Old Man Ben who was currently handing a coffee to Minhyuk. Once he realized that he was not dreaming, he quickly took a few steps back and bowed at a 90 degree angle.

“Zank of the Thousand Heavenly Spear Masters gives his greetings to the Legend of the Continent, Ghost Spear Ben!”

“......?”

“......?”

“......?”

All the guild members looked at this scene in confusion.

Then, they heard Old Man Ben say......

“You’ve grown up a lot, Zank. I heard before that you’re now a part of the Heavenly Spear Masters. Is that the reason why your head is so high up the clouds now?”

His words made the eyes of all the guild members present widen in shock.

Notes

Valhalla Territory - 바할라 영토 it was written as Bahalla Territory but I don’t think that it looks good so I turned it into Valhalla. It also checks out since Valhalla and Valkyrie are both related to Norse Mythology.

TL’s corner!

I lost the content since I went from offline to online while I was typing. I was so frustrated that I wanted to cry. Huhu. Anyway. I still hope you enjoy this chapter that I had to type twice.
