Episode 16
Dark Iron!
It is one of the top five minerals on the Fate Continent.
It has a hardness that is incomparable to steel, and when equipment is made, it is basically given the attribute of darkness.
The darkness attribute was a fraudulent attribute that had an advantage over all attributes except the light attribute. Therefore, rock iron was sold at extremely high prices.
“Even those with a lot of money can’t find rock iron...”
Since it is such an enormous mineral, its quantity was naturally low.
In the vast Fate World, there are only two rock iron mines that have been discovered so far! The owners of the mine would all have amassed enormous wealth.
gulp! X swallowed dry saliva.
“There is no treasure like this.”
It’s a treasure that makes you want to monopolize it without even knowing it. But it was realistically impossible. This rock iron mine is owned by the Thier family.
X was also a man of good morals, so he was reluctant to commit theft. Besides, didn’t you see Raan and Lian starving?
“Yes, everything went well.”
Still, why do I feel like something is missing?
Even the rice cake in the picture was not like this.
X stared at Amcheol with faint eyes and turned his head.
“...Still, I think I can pick up some soybean paste and eat it.”
Smooth rock iron equipment!
The beautiful shape seemed to glimmer before my eyes.
By completing the quest, you can build a trust relationship with the Thier family. Moreover, since they discovered a treasure called rock iron, it would be humanly possible to ask for a few pieces of rock iron.
X swallowed his saliva and headed out of the dungeon.
“You’re back! “I was worried, Mr. X.”
“It’s a little late. “There must be so many of them.”
“I’m glad you look okay though!”
Raan, who was sitting on a chair, got up and approached X. His face was full of relief. On the other hand, I was completely detached with no expectations whatsoever.
“It was obvious that your efforts would be in vain... I’m sorry. But thanks to Mr. X, I feel like I can leave this mansion without any regrets.”
“What can you say, leaving the mansion?”
“yes? Isn’t it right to dispose of it and leave? “It’s not like I have any good memories...”
X said to Raan, who tilted his head.
“There was treasure at the end of Raan’s cave.”
“What do you mean by that? Maybe he’s trying to comfort me...”
“I think it would be quicker to see it in person.”
Seeing is worth seeing.
X lit the sacred fire and entered the dungeon. Since the dungeon has been cleared, monsters will not appear for a certain period of time.
X reached the end of the dungeon and shined a light on the stone wall.
sparkle! A stone wall that glows.
Raan hurriedly checked the stone wall and his hands were shaking.
“Is this really possible?”
“No way, the family was saved. Congratulations, Raan.”
Raan seemed to be well aware of the value of rock iron. This is true of Raan, who received an elite education before his family fortunes declined.
It can be said that Raan knows more about Fate World than X. Grumble. Tears flowed from the corners of Raan’s eyes.
“Father... you are not wrong. Sobbing.”
The first thing that came to mind seemed to be my widowed father.
A sad cry echoed through the dungeon.
Raan soon came to his senses and grabbed X’s hand.
“Thank you, X. Ex is the benefactor of our Thier family! “I don’t know how I can repay this enormous favor.”
Tiroling!
[You have succeeded in the quest!]
[Your reputation will increase by 100 points!]
X checked the notification and smiled.
“My reputation has increased tremendously and my level has also risen.”
Additionally, I gained valuable connections.
X adjusted the necklace she was wearing.
“I hope the day comes when this necklace comes in handy.”
Thier family.
I hope you become the best in Veneta, no, the best in Fate! That way, the scale of the falling Congo will increase.
X hummed and advanced toward Veneta.
*
Veneta of the North!
Although Beneta had everything it had and didn’t have, it couldn’t be said to be very good in terms of security. It was also difficult for monsters in barren lands to get food.
“What kind of goblins are attacking this village every day? “No matter how good the quest is, you can’t rest properly like this.”
“To complain. Do you know how easy it is to increase your reputation? “If it weren’t for the attack defense quest, I wouldn’t be able to go anywhere and be treated as an adventurer.”
The beginning of Veneta.
Heavily armed users were talking among themselves.
All of them were on a raid defense quest.
Cities with poor security, like Veneta, were invaded by monsters. Because it was a quest where you could gain fame and rewards depending on the number of monsters you killed, quite a few users who were confident in their skills participated.
“You know that you have to take care of the miscellaneous items that goblins drop, right?”
“Don’t say anything. During the last attack, you went through a lot of trouble without even knowing that you were getting credit for it. “This time, I won’t leave anything out!”
Rewards are rewards, but opportunities to increase reputation do not come easily. Users were fully prepared to achieve as many achievements as possible.
But for some reason, the goblin did not appear.
Apparently, a scout spotted a group of goblins preparing to attack. There is only one road leading to Beneta, so it won’t be long before they show up...
“Have the cubs noticed that it’s their memorial day?”
“Che, at least 30 of them were in good condition today.”
“Wow, that’s bluffing.”
Users swallowed their disappointment but did not leave. There was still a possibility that a horde of goblins would arrive due to a time lag. Even if you waste time, the attack defense quest is a pleasure.
“Oh, it’s a person. “You can ask that person.”
Jump and jump.
Meanwhile, a man walked from far away.
The wizard holding the wand asked on behalf of the users.
“Hey, did you see any goblins on your way here?”
“A goblin?”
It feels like something big will happen if you say you saw it.
The man, X, suppressed his laughter and shook his head.
The warrior armed with heavy armor shrugged his shoulders.
“Tsk, of course you didn’t see it! If you were to go around alone without fear and come across a group of goblins, you wouldn’t be able to pick up even a single bone. Would you be happy just to die? Those goblin bastards even steal items. “If you get caught, you’ll be in complete trouble.”
Are they saying things like that because they know what’s in my inventory?
X shook his head and walked into Veneta.
Suddenly I stopped and asked a woman who looked like a priest.
“Do you know where you can exchange goblin loot for rewards? “I was supposed to meet a friend, but I’m not sure where it is.”
“I think the attack defense quest is wrong... Anyway, you can exchange loot at the management office in the village square.”
“okay. thank you.”
Nod. X lowered his head and immediately accelerated his steps.
When I raised my head, the scenery of Veneta came into view.
X rolled his eyes here and there.
“What kind of street food is there here?”
It’s expensive, 30 silver.
Street food that increases your stats just by eating it! I wanted to head straight to the shopping district, but I had work to do first.
X checked his inventory and folded his fingers.
“There are a total of 120 goblins that I killed on the way... How much reward do you want to give? There are quite a few hobgoblin decorations, so if I do well with these, I can get 500 reputation.”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
