87 < (2). Empire Quest -1 >

After successfully completing the quest in the process, Ian returns to Iriel.

“Oh, Ian. You're back?”

“Yes, as you said, I'm here to help Mr. Whitson. ”

Iriel nods.

“Yes, I heard from Whitson. Thank you very much. ”

Ian mutters to himself.

‘Yes... I worked hard...' I don't want to do this quest again.... ’

There was no physical effort at all.

I just came back from a great deal of mental work.

While Ian grumbles into himself, a system message reminds me of completing a quest.

[You have completed the ‘Teacher of Love’ Quest.]

[+20 Charm stats.]

And Iriel approaches Ian.

“As promised, I'll give you some of my abilities. Please help Gripper and ensure the breeding of ancient monsters... ”

Iriel raises his pretty hand and extends his palm.

Then a white marble appeared in front of her palm and began to be sucked into Ian's direction.

[You obtained the 'Summoner Breeding' skill.]

[With the ‘Summoner Breeding’ skill, you can now distinguish between monsters.]

‘… to be able to distinguish between monsters? ’

It was a bit of a question, but Ian soon accepted it.

From that point on, I don't think I've seen any information about the gender of a monster in the monster information window.

Ian suddenly wonders about the gender of his summoners.

Is it just happening in the info window now? ’

Ian began to check the gender of all the summoners.

‘Yes, it was in the info window. Rye was a male.’

And Ian, who had identified the gender of the Summoner, was a little embarrassed.

Why are my summoners all male in gender? ’

Then, it seemed that there was not much feminine in him.

Ian asked Iriel.

“Dear Iriel, are monsters originally more male than female? ”

Iriel blinks at his sudden question.

“Yes? No. I understand that all monsters, except for a few, have a 1-to-1 ratio that converges. ”

“ …. ”

Ian felt uneasy for some reason.

‘Well... I guess it just happened... ’

Anyway, now that we're done with Iriel, it's time to get back to the Dimensional Tower.

“Anyway, thanks for your help, Iriel. ”

“Yes, Ian. Let me know if you need my help again. ”

Iriel gives Ian something like a blue crystal ball.

Familiar visuals.

“What... is this? ”

Iriel smiles and replies.

“If you have this crystal ball, you can send me a message. ”

“Yes? Why are you giving me this...? ”

“I can't talk to Ian yet, but I think I'll have something to ask Ian soon. Can I call you then? ”

And in front of Ian's eyes, he remembered a quest window with some familiar content in the unknown.

Tyring -

---------------------------------------

- Shadow of the Dragon Caliph (Hidden) -

Iriel, the manager of the Forest of Love and a brilliant Elven Summoner, has had great concerns for a long time.

If you become a little more powerful, you can hear her worries.

Quest Difficulty:??

Quest Condition: Summoner with New Dragon Soul.

Summoning Skill Lv. 3.

Timeout: None

Reward -???

* If you do not receive the Crystal Ball from Iriel, the quest will be automatically rejected.

Declining quests will decrease Iriel's liking and decrease her charm stats by 20.

---------------------------------------

In Ian's eyes, the word "dragon caliphate" comes first.

‘Oh, I've heard that name somewhere...’

Soon I realized it was a name I had heard from the legendary Dragon Tamer Oakley.

‘Hidden Quests are not always available... There's no reason to decline them when there's no time limit. ’

And as I was going down the quest window, I stopped looking at the ‘Quest conditions’ section.

Quests related to the spirit of the new dragon were in line with the words "Quests that can't be received by anyone but Ian."

Ian became more proud.

And at the same time, I noticed the curious part.

Part called Summoning Master Level 3.

‘But what is this? Once you became a master, you were able to improve your vocational skills? ’

‘Summoning' was a proficient figure that underpinned all skill growth of summoners.

Warriors and knights had martial arts skills, priests had "faith", and wizards had "magic" archery.

However, none of the users who have any job in Kailan have ever uploaded a job skill to the master, so I have never heard of it in any way since.

‘I was just confused that if I became a master, I wouldn't gain any more job proficiency.... ’

From the words Master Level 3, it seemed that he could continue to improve his skills after becoming a master.

Maybe there was a next step.

‘Hmm... Not yet. My summoning skills are now at an advanced level 2... I think I need to be at least 150 to become a master... ’

After finishing his thought, Ian takes the crystal ball from Iriel.

[You have accepted the quest.]

“Of course, I'd be happy to help if I could. ”

Iriel smiles brightly.

“Thank you, Ian! ”

* * *

Returning to the tower, Gripper greets Ian with a happy face as if he was waiting.

“Oh, Ian. Welcome. Has everything been taken care of? ”

Ian nods.

“Yes, I've acquired the ability to breed summoners. ”

Gripper smiles satisfactorily.

“Well done. I knew you'd like it, too. ”

Gripper takes Ian to the low, wide hill behind the tower.

It was decorated like a ranch while Ian was gone, and the ancient monsters that Ian had restored gathered together.

“Oh, by the way, Gripper, Some of them don't? ”

It's the Halicans. Ian received it himself. Even if he wasn't there, I couldn't see the monsters that suffered with some of Ian.

At Ian's question, Gripper nods and answers.

“I only collect herbivores here. The carnivorous ones are separated. ”

“Oh, there's that problem. ”

The quest proceeded to the top of the line.

Ian checked the gender of the monsters in the plains one by one and picked out two of the same species and different genders.

And in order to use the Breeding Skill, I had to summon Ian first, so I registered the two as summoners.

‘Hmm... Do I need to use a skill now? ’

Ian swallows his saliva as he looks at two ancient monsters staring at each other.

And there was a lot of anticipation next to him.) I was watching it with my eyes.

W-!

‘Ugh, this can't be 19 gold...? ’

Ian casts his skill, blindfolding both eyes with his hands.

“Summoner Breeding! ”

But that's not what Ian imagined.

A white light flowed from the hearts of the two Klopsis, and moments later, a white and large egg appeared in front of them.

“Phew, I didn't mean to worry. ”

Ian was worried that he would see embarrassment. He sighed of relief, and he was expressing a lot of embarrassment.

And then I remembered the message.

[You have successfully bred the Summoner for the first time.]]

[Obtain the title 'Summoner Breeder’.]

[Reputation +25000.]

[Improved your understanding of the Summoner's ecosystem.]

[You learned the 'Summoner's Egg Hatching' skill.]

Ian clenches his fist.

‘There you go. We can finally do the Griffin Hatching Quest! And the egg of a new dragon...! ’

I also looked at the title I got.

---------------------------------------

- Summoner Breeder -

Rank - None

- If you have more than a certain Amity, you can also use the Breeding Skill on summoners, not on your summoners.

- Creates friendship with all monsters a little easier.

- The younger the monster, the faster the Amity builds.

* All effects apply without fitting.

---------------------------------------

Useful title.

It was not a title that helped to become strong immediately, but it opened up many possibilities to raise a good summoning number.

It was written as' None ', but there was nothing to increase combat related stats.

‘I like the fact that you don't have to wear it. ’

Ian used the Breeding Skill on all the remaining pairs of ancient monsters.

Among the monsters that were restored more than one, there were five species that were successfully bred, either because they were all female, or because they were all male.

‘There are some kinds of breeding that produce eggs immediately, and some young monsters are made immediately. ’

Since the breeding skill's cooldown was 30 minutes, all five species of monsters were bred successfully, and three more hours passed by.

However, Ian's expression was brighter than ever since, thinking that he had gone over a big mountain.

* * *

“Well done, everyone. I'll finish my lecture here today. ”

Finally, the last words of the professor to announce the end of the lecture began to occur in one or two seats.

Of course, Jinsung, who had already packed all her bags, stood up first.

No, I tried to get up.

“Jinsung, wait a minute. What's the rush? ”

Jinsung frowned slightly as he saw Yoohyun grabbing his arm.

“What's the rush? I have to go on a quest right now. ”

Yoohyun shook his head.

“No, I'm on a quest, and I don't get nosy at the Node these days. ”

The reason Yoohyun got genuine was not something else.

The best talent in the guild in the yard is almost ready for Node Ascendance (?) because I thought I should know about Ian.

Jinsung scratched the back of his head.

“I'm busy fixing so many things I put in a fight. Please understand. ”

“You can't tell me what kind of quest it is? ”

“No, there's nothing you can't say. I have one quest left, and this is an Empire quest. Besides, we don't know how much time we have left, so we have to do it fast. ”

Ian spoke without much thought and quickly walked out of the classroom, but Yoohyun's eyes widened in the genuine words of the Empire Quest.

Yoohyun quickly followed Ian back and asked again.

“What? Empire quests? What's your reputation now? ”

“Oh, it has nothing to do with reputation. I got this when I first took a level 50 summoner without regard to the Imperial Quest reputation. Because there was no way to clear it then, I've kept it all locked up. ”

Reputation was already far beyond the conditions for carrying out the Empire quest, but I didn't mention it because I didn't want to explain it.

This time, Jinsung asked me with a curious face.

“Hey, why are you so surprised by the empire quest? Not only does an Empire quest boost your reputation, but what else is good about it? Ah, I've heard that you can be called an NPC subordinate if you get noble status. ”

However, Yoohyun was not surprised by the advantages that he said.

I was surprised because I realized that the most important key to the Node Promotion could be a genuine situation.

“Dude, did you know that Clovan was going on a quest to get some imperial quest? ”

“What? Why Cloban? ”

“He was the most prestigious member of our guild. As long as it's not a special route like you, you know 400,000 reputations have to be fulfilled to get an Empire quest, right? His brother probably only took 400,000 hits yesterday. ”

However, the sincerity of not knowing that a guild member who received a noble title was needed to advance to the Node was still filled with questions.

“So why? If we do one quest at a time while leveling up, we will eventually fill 400,000 Reputations... I don't understand. Is the Empire quest that important to you at this point? ”

Yoohyun nodded.

“Yeah, man, it's not important to you, Clovan. It's the most important thing in our guild right now. One of the conditions required to promote a Guild Node to territory is" Guild Member with Noble Status. "”

“Hmm…? ”

A moment of static.

And before long, sincerity understood everything.

And he looked shaky.

“What, is that why Clovan was running around doing all the quests to fill those conditions? ”

“… I told you. ”

Jinsung smiled bitterly.

If I tell you that I'm over 500,000 years old now, you'll be right. ’

I felt like I had been so cut off from the guild that I only played hard to get solo.

‘Once Griffin hatches, I'll have to focus more on the guild from now on. ’

There is one more reason to complete the Griffin Hatching Quest quickly.
