95 < (4). Territory Management -3 >

* * *

The four men, including Harin, were frantically watching the newly built lordship.

A vast and luxurious territory that cannot be compared to the Guild Building at the 'Village’ grade.

Ian carefully examined the position of the NPCs and their functions throughout the territory.

And to see if the process was boring, Fioran and Hers disappeared somewhere, saying they had somewhere to go.

Naturally, only Harin and Ian were left.

And the last place they looked was the Lord's Kitchen.

The Permanent Kitchen was still in poor condition.

It was because the lord Jinsung did not allocate the guild resources.

Harin asked in an excited voice.

“Wow, am I really allowed to use this? ”

Ian nodded and replied.

“Yes, I left it there on purpose to set it up after I discussed it with you. ”

If Ian had distributed Guild Resources, various content would have been set up automatically starting with NPC, but he did so in the sense that delegating authority to her would be much more efficient than automating as long as there was a great talent in the culinary industry called Harin.

Even Harin's kitchen was as good as the kitchen.

“Okay, okay! I'm gonna move all my tools and materials over here. ”

“Yes, do that. I'll leave it to you in a few minutes to set up the sovereign kitchen. ”

“Aja! I'm excited! ”

Harin looked really happy.

I didn't know anything else, but the huge oven was really helpful in trying different dishes.

Various attempts have allowed me to develop more kinds of recipes, and that was a shortcut that quickly allowed me to grow my cooking level.

Harin walked into the kitchen and said to Ian,

“Take a closer look at me for a moment. Is that okay?"

“Yes, do that. ”

Ian nods, and Harin wanders around the kitchen, the pantry, and the restaurant.

In the meantime, Ian waits for her to rotate the skills, including training skills, once the cooldown has returned.

And shortly thereafter, the final visit to the Lord's Cooking Room (?), Ian came out with Harin.

Harin asked in a gentle voice.

“Jinsung, what are you going to do now? Do you have any quests left? ”

“No, the quest is over. ”

“Hunting, then? ”

Ian shakes his head.

“No, I'm going to the dungeon with Fioran in a little while. ”

“Oh, I see. I think I heard Fioran say the last time you came back, you'd be going with two dungeons. ”

Of course, Fioran and Hers, most guild members now over 100 levels have cleared the grave of the two-man dungeon, the Porlan Hero, found in the Porlan Basin.

Whenever I had time, I would go to the dungeon in pairs.

The grave of the hero of Porlan was admissible five times a day, and the largest Marit there was a tremendously lucrative experience, rather than an item to be won.

For this reason, it was part of the daily work of users in the northern continent that they came around the dungeon every time.

However, the dungeon difficulty was so high that no guild member had ever received a grade B or higher, and Fioran was hoping that his record would be updated when Ian, who was born in the PVE, returned.

“Yes, I've heard that the XP award structure is also very beneficial for summoners. It's not the way you get experience from monsters that hunt in the dungeon, but the way you get experience rewards like clearing a dungeon, so you don't have to share it with summoners. ”

“I see…. ”

Harin, who was about to go on a date with Ian to gather the ingredients, became a little blurry.

And when she suddenly became dull, who had just been very bright, Ian was a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong with him? Did I forget something...? ’

Ian thought about whether he forgot any of the ingredients that Harin asked him to cook.

It was because I had forgotten the ingredients that Harin had asked for before and picked up a few pins.

But I didn't seem to have forgotten any materials.

‘But even if it's not a material, I think I've forgotten something... ’

And at that moment, there was something that suddenly passed by Ian's brain.

‘Yes! The ring that I received as a reward for discovering the Forest of Love! You forgot that! ’

Whenever I saw myself in my inventory, I remembered the pain I suffered in the Forest of Love, but the option was so good that I couldn't just throw it away!

‘I have the option to improve my job skills a lot, so I'm just right for Harin... ’

When I first got the ring, I was worried about who to ask to wear it because of the burdensome name of the wedding ring.

However, there were not many female users around Ian, so the selection had to be narrowed quickly, and Harin eventually came to mind.

However, I forgot what I was going to tell Harin when I met her because she would do me a favor.

‘You don't look so good right now... Can I tell you? ’

I hesitated for a moment, but then I opened my mouth.

“By the way, Harina, I have a favor to ask... ”

Harin was wondering how to persuade Ian to go on a date in the northern continent, and he was furious with his nonsense.

“Huh? What favor? ”

“Wait a minute.”

Ian took the wedding ring from his inventory in Juju Island Forest.

I also did not forget to check if it was a woman's ring.

“H-can you write this for me? ”

And when Harin found the ring on Ian's palm at an unexpected time, he was very embarrassed.

What is it? ’

Harin made sure to look genuine.

But there was no change in his expression.

How much did you notice Harin?

‘What is the situation...? ’

It was genuine enough to show such a candid and favorable expression, but I could not have been so oblivious.

That's why the current situation was so unrealistic, and Harin's mind began to get complicated.

‘I just got it, but I don't need it...? I don't think I'm giving it any meaning... ’

Harin hesitated and Jinsung's expression became dull.

“Hmm... If it's too much, you don't have to... ”

When Jinsung tried to put the ring back in, Harin quickly took it away from him without even knowing it.

“Oh, no! No pressure, no pressure. ”

Having received the ring impulsively, Harin looked awkward for a moment.

"Ugh, I hope this isn't too hot. ’

And after checking the information on the ring she received, she was surprised once again.

What, what? This is an amazing option, isn't it? Besides, your name is your wedding ring...? Are you... a couple? ’

A little sincere intent.) Harin, who has been crying.

Harin carefully asked him to double-check.

“Is... is this yours too? ”

And sincerity did not fail her expectations, but took out her ring.

“Yeah. Mine's right here. ”

After confirming that it was a coupling, her sheep cheeks that were otherwise greased turned more red.

“Th-thank you. I'll fit right in. ”

Harin excitedly put the ring on his finger.

And Ian means something different.).

"Khh, now you can throw away your level 50 ring! ’

When the ring was inserted into Ian's finger, a system message rang out to both of them at the same time.

[The terms of the 'wedding ring of the forest’ have been unsealed.]

[Elmoff Blessing.]

[All Combat Skills +20%.]

[All job skills increase by 30%.]

[Reduces the cooldown of all skills by 1 second. (Does not apply to skills with a cooldown of 1 second.)]

[From now on, you can summon your spouse once a day with the ability of Elmoff.]

The auricular tail of the mouth catches on the ear, checking its rising stats.

And I felt weird too.

‘I think I have a girlfriend because I'm wearing this as a couple with Harin. ’

Somehow I don't feel bad.

Meanwhile, Harin was looking at the thick sincerity, thinking something similar to the sincerity but slightly different.

"You've been dozing off for a while. I thought you weren't really interested in me... ’

A slight misunderstanding made her pretty lips smile.

* * *

Ian, who was separated from Harin, travels with Fioran to the Forlan Basin to enter the dungeon.

“Ian, you may not be able to clear the first round, so aim to get as familiar as you can. ”

“Yeah, well... I get it. ”

“Did you see the Dungeon Assault video? ”

Ian nods.

“Yes, I've done it a couple of times. ”

“Okay, that should be easy to explain. ”

After a short while, Fioran arrives in front of the dungeon and begins to explain.

“It's important to break through the first phase quickly. Catching a lot of monsters doesn't give you a lot of experience, so you should break through as fast as you can and run to the" Hero's Sanctum "in the middle. ”

Ian was roughly familiar with the community, but listened to her with the thought of organizing it one more time.

“And when the second phase starts, there will be five monster waves. When a Hero's Sanctum is destroyed, it will be taken out of the dungeon, so it is most important to defend it well. ”

“You said that if you get 200 of them, the phase will pass, right? ”

In Ian's question, Fioran grins her head.

“Yes, and after the monster wave, there are three mid-boss monsters called the Giant Hate." It's not very aggressive, but the biggest one of them has broad-spectrum stun technology, so you have to be careful with that. because if you start getting stun hooks by mistake, you could really die of anxiety. ”

“Okay, I get it. ”

“Lastly... The final boss, 'Giant of Porlan’, is now available, and is characterized by his extremely high immunity and a tremendous amount of attack power. Instead, his movements are very slow, so if Ian can draw his attention, I think we should target him in the way that I deal with him as much as possible. ”

“I see.”

“The most cautious of his attack patterns is when he suddenly stops and starts collecting blue energy with both hands. ”

Ian nods.

It was a skill I had seen in the video

“You mean the enormous, inattentive, cannon-like technology? ”

“That's right. The last time Hers defensed incorrectly, he was beaten three times and he was out of the game. Projectile speeds are huge, so it won't be easier to avoid or stop them than you thought. ”

But even with her warning, Ian only laughs.

It was because I had something in mind as soon as I saw the technology in the video.

“So that's the end of the explanation? ”

Fioran nods reluctantly, even though she still looks a little smudged.

“W-what about first? ”

“Then let's go inside. I said 50 minutes is the limit… How many minutes until I clear it for Class S? ”

Seeing Ian thinking of clearing class S even before entering, Fioran smiles deeply.

“Class S? You haven't completed any successful parties yet. To clear Class S, you have to clear within 25 minutes, which is half the time limit. As you can see from the Hall of Fame on the official homepage, there are not many successful A's yet. A

Was it rated 35 minutes...? ”

In Fioran's explanation, Ian looks suspicious.

“Eh…? Is it that hard? I don't think it was that neat after watching the video... What are all rankers doing? ”

Ian thought that if a dungeon could be cleared by two users in the early 100s, users in the ranking area would be able to clear Class S.

Fioran adds a compensatory explanation.

“That's... that's why it's so hard, but the highest-level rankers can't come in here. You can't get in here past level 120. ”

“Ah... So... ”

“The strongest people in the 50th place were already over level 120 when this dungeon was first discovered, so they probably didn't even try. ”

Ian nodded his head as he understood it.

“Well, let's really go inside. ”

“Okay, you're all set? ”

“Yep.”

Fioran adds a smile.

“By the way, since you initialized Ian, you've been hunting for the first time? ”

“I see.”

“Summoner, can I count on it? ”

Ian nods confidently.

He was so strong that he couldn't even compare with the initial.

“Of course.”

And as Fioran, the party master, put his hand on the crystal at the dungeon entrance, he remembered a brief system message in their field of view.

[Enter Forlan Hero's Grave.]]
