Episode 197
: Roaring!
When the effect of heavenly cooking is activated, your steps become lighter.
Let’s see, are the sub-skills for combat? After checking the notification, X finished cleaning up and got up.
One of the best dinners in a long dwarf life! Burkandal, whose cheeks were flushed from the heat in his stomach, opened his mouth.
“I don’t know how long it’s been since I last had such hearty and delicious food. “I think you know how you became acquainted with Mandrion?”
“Haha, I paid a little bribe out of my poor skills.”
“How humble. “Then shall we move slowly now?”
Hunting time!
Border Guardian Burkandal was an expert in the Black Zone. Not only did he know about dangerous areas that other dwarves did not know about, but he also remembered the locations of several named monsters.
Burkandal began to move busily.
“Of course I can’t be away for a long time. “I would like to join you in tracking down the evil cult, but as you know, I have a mission.”
His finger pointed towards the Black Fairy’s pond.
What Burkandal took out was a mechanical device made of iron. It was about the size of a human and had something similar to a crossbow mounted on the top.
X was shocked.
‘It’s very elaborate.’
A level not seen on the Arba continent! Indeed, the dwarves’ technology was not ordinary.
When the mainspring was turned, the mechanical device began to move in a precise manner.
It seemed like he could fill the role of watchdog vacated by Burkandal to some extent.
Suddenly, memories of the past pass by.
‘...Was it in the Stargazing Plain?’
It reminded me of the giant soldiers from the ancient kingdom that I met when I liberated the ancient kingdom’s vengeful spirit.
Ancient kingdoms where numerous races interacted and created brilliant civilizations.
Slowly, the corners of X’s mouth began to rise.
‘Well, there’s nothing Xernis can’t do, right?’
How many races are gathered right now?
Restoring the civilization of Xernis that I saw in my fantasy would not be a dream.
Therefore, it was necessary to recruit more dwarves in advance. Burkandal is no exception.
“Ex, you look like you have deep knowledge of martial arts.”
“no. “There is still a long way to go.”
“Hehe, well, you’ll figure it out when you see it.”
Burkandal was secretly looking forward to X.
I will win Burkandal’s favor through hunting! When X enters a forest full of only tree stumps, he
starts screaming! A notification rang.
[You have discovered the ‘Tomb of Broken Life’ for the first time in Fate World!]
First of all, you have received the first discovery buff.
The moment X looked around, he saw something sparkling on the blackened ground in the distance.
Slut! As soon as I realized it, a sharp metallic sound was heard.
“!”
X reflexively bowed his back. I can hear the wind cracking above my head.
When I turned my head, Burkandal seemed to be fine thanks to his short stature.
The two-handed ax he was holding gained strength.
“Wow, this is the guy I lost several times after struggling desperately.”
Glitter!
As he got closer, a figure obscured by light began to appear. In short, it looked like it had come down from outer space.
Its sharply forged forelimbs and elongated torso were clearly that of a gigantic mantis, but its body was shining brightly, as if it were wrapped in silver foil.
Kyaaaaaaa!
It was only when he touched the ground with his front leg that the information came to mind.
“platinum?”
Eyes that are so wide!
In pate, the mineral treated as more precious than gold was platinum.
It was platinum foil, not silver foil. As I thought about the loot he would spit out, I started to get even more excited.
Burkandal warned X.
“He’s not an ordinary guy. “You can’t let your guard down.”
“Of course I will.”
Burkandal was planning to settle the matter today. He muttered lowly.
“I never thought such a monster would appear in an abandoned platinum mine. But today is the end of your outbursts, you guy.”
“Pear platinum mine?”
“okay. This guy is a variant born from the two conflicting energies of the land of the dwarves and the pond of the black fairy. “There are more than one such guys, but the problem is that they were born from platinum.”
In fact, Burkandal had nothing to do.
Sigh!
“Oh no. “One shot again?”
Sigh!
“Something just passed by!”
Puk puk!
“Guo has a knack for martial arts. “You really are.”
Practical, compressed hunting where you only catch named monsters!
Huge experience points and loot were essential, and every time he showed off his overwhelming power, you could feel Burkandal’s favorability skyrocketing.
“Thanks to you, I got to see this rare sight.”
“I don’t know what to do with all the praise.”
“What a high compliment. “I’m just telling the truth.”
braided!
The two returned to the guard post near the border and clinked beer glasses. Burkhandal had opened his beloved beer barrel.
As expected, going over the neck was no joke.
Tiroling!
[Heavenly taste has discovered the hidden taste of ‘Dwarf Special Dark Beer’!]
[Maximum mana increases by 200 points!]
[Agility increases by 1 point!]
[Intelligence increases by 2 points!]
Various stories and Awesome snack that fills you up quickly! X was fine thanks to his heavenly taste, but Burkandal was slowly getting drunk.
“Hehe, it’s not a joke? If you are you, you will definitely be able to achieve harmony between the Arba Continent and the Severed Continent... No, if you don’t understand, just use force...”
Grumble.
Contrary to appearance, Burkandal was weak in alcohol. This unintentionally caused the border guardian to fall asleep.
Since I couldn’t stay away forever, it was X’s responsibility to be on watch today.
X left the guard post and took care of his chores.
“This is a truck that’s just piled up.”
Inventory full of ingredients!
Even if I ate it, I ate it again and again, so the amount hardly decreased.
When a decision is needed. First of all, things that could be dried needed to be dried to reduce their volume.
“This is also amazing at drying.”
Holy relic shining tree branch!
Use this precious sacred object to dry food ingredients. It is a scene that has nothing to say even if a religious group accuses it of blasphemy. But where can there be religion on a disconnected continent?
“There is a God who can be clearly seen.”
World tree!
When I thought of that word, a brilliant image flashed before my eyes again.
As I thought of sweet peach juice, my thoughts also reached ‘something’ with white fur.
Suddenly, X muttered.
“What is it really?”
I couldn’t even guess yet if it was a monster or an NPC.
But one thing is clear: isn’t that white something staying near the World Tree? It’s clear that he’s an unusual guy.
“I will definitely get involved.”
I will meet you again somehow!
There was still a lot of work to do, but I was just adding goals.
It wasn’t long before Burkandal woke up. He scratched his head and said, as if blaming himself for forgetting his mission because he was drunk.
“This is the only way to lose face.”
“I didn’t know you were that bad at drinking?”
“Hehe, even if you like it, there’s a reason you refrain from it.”
The two became close enough to laugh at jokes!
Burkandal is renowned among dwarves for being majestic and difficult to deal with. If Mandol and other dwarves saw it, they would have been shocked.
X got up and finished preparing the ingredients.
“How would you like to go again?”
“Hmm, there is nothing more enjoyable than watching you hunt.”
Burkhandal stroked his beard, perhaps lost in thought. Then he continued speaking.
“Ex, I’m asking because I think you might be able to do it. “Can you please work hard for us dwarves? Of course, I will definitely repay you in my name.”
Tiroling!
The impact of explosive intimacy.
An unexpected quest came to mind.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
