Ian greets the guard with audacity, and takes a step toward the noisy village.
But unlike what it looks like, Ian was in a very tense state at the moment.
The moment Ian greeted him, the eyes of the two guards at the entrance shifted toward him, and he could see their transcendence level as soon as his eyes met.
-Jakram Village Guard Urakun/Level: 92 (Transcendence)
-Jakram Village Guard Commander Cargan/Level: 97 (transcendent)
"No, what's wrong with the guards...?" ’
But by doing so, Ian was unable to take his steps back.
If you turn back and flee in a yard full of cheerful greetings, those fearsome guards will let Ian go.
Probably chasing them like crazy, burning muscles.
Already, it has become a situation of prevailing tax.
Chuck-- Chuck-- Chuck--!
Guard Commander Cargan and Guard Urakun.
Two NPCs approaching Ian tilt their heads and open their mouths.
- Hmm. I've never seen him before. What brings you to town?
- He smells like shit and he smells like shit.
And when Ian heard what they said, he was able to let go.
It hasn't been passed yet, but it wasn't just a random attack as soon as I saw Ian. If I show him the pendant of valor and say it well, I think I can get in safely.
Ian trembled and began to join the conversation.
“Ahaha, a newborn warrior who has just entered Elasium. I have heard that there is a village of brave warriors in the Red Rock Mountain. ”
Ian still doesn't know exactly what Jacqueram is doing.
I just needed a window to spend my own coins. I couldn't find anywhere else to use them except the Giants' Village, so I came here to find clues to enter the villages within the Giants' camp.
So all Ian had was the information that was written on the pendant.
But Ian, who had a good iron plate on his face, succeeded in giving him a good reason.
- A town of brave warriors... Hehe, well, that's not wrong. The spirits who defended Jacquaram village were brave and honorable warriors.
- Sir, you seem like a smart guy. Do you want me to let you in?
- Well, yes, but we need to make sure.
After a short conversation, the two guards look back at Ian, and one of them opens his mouth.
- You're a rookie warrior, right?
In his question, Ian answered quickly.
“That's right.”
- Then you must have the Token of Valor. If you show me that, I'll clear a path for you to get inside the town.
“ ……! ”
I was slightly embarrassed by the word 'token,' but Ian quickly realized that it meant a pendant of valor.
The pendant that I had prepared was then pushed out towards Cargan.
“Here you go, Guard Commander. Is that what you're telling me? ”
Taking a pendant from Ian, Cargan looks around at it.
After a while, he nodded and answered Ian's question.
- Yeah, this pendant could be enough tokens.
“Haha.”
- I don't see any signs of a prank. All right, I'll let you in.
“Thank you!”
Ian takes back the pendant that the guard commander gave him. In case he changes his mind, he walks toward the inside of the town.
Hehehe, you made it to safety! ’
The moment Ian crossed the town line....
- Tyring!
Along with the system notification tone, a new message flashed before Ian's eyes.
- A village of ancient giants, the underworld. You have entered Jacquaram Village.
- Jacqueram Village is the sanctuary of the Giants.
- You cannot act aggressively in Jacquaram Village.
- You are the first of the ‘Humans' to enter Jacquaram.
-Respondence (transcendence) increased by 1,000.
For -12 hours, you can buy everything in Jacquaram at 80 percent price.
And after seeing the message, Ian was now completely relieved.
‘Oil, Neutral Zone……. This will make you feel a lot better, right? ’
There is always a risk in the middle of the enemy, but if you stay in this town, you will be safe, so you can work a little more comfortably.
‘I can buy things cheaply too. Okay, I'm going to spend all my dirty coins here today. ’
As Ian got better, he opened his inventory and looked at his own doubloons.
- Owned Goods
- 373,981 Sheets of Dragon Coin
-Jeogi Geumgeum, Seoul: 672,983 yen
Then he shakes his head and mutters.
“I beat up a lot of Giants.... How can there be more dirty coins than mercury coins? ”
But maybe this was the question the planner wanted to ask Ian.
* * *
Jacqueram is a small, small village.
As soon as I stepped inside the entrance, the entire building inside the village was noticeable, so it was only half as small as the small and cute Lapir Nodes.
But apart from that, the exterior of each building was very cool.
From spires emanating with colorful mystical luminosity, to old-fashioned bookstores.
Even Ian, who was not interested in the design, thought he wanted to build it in his kingdom, but the exterior quality of the buildings was quite excellent.
“Wow, that's pretty cool...? ”
However, after a moment of such amazement, Ian, who was going through the buildings of the village, began to become increasingly anxious.
When he first entered the old bookstore and read a book about the Ancient Giants, it felt good, but Ian's expression was very dark when he entered the fifth building.
“This isn't it... …. Don't tell me there's no money in this town. ”
Despite searching five of the seven buildings in the village, we couldn't find a merchant selling anything.
‘No, it can't be. If you had, you wouldn't have gotten the message that the item would be discounted as a reward for your first discovery, would you? ’
After clearing his mind of the ominous thoughts, Ian takes a short breath and enters the next building.
The building that walked in this time, unlike other buildings, was uniquely designed half underground.
Queek!
Ian carefully pushed the door with the unpleasant friction sound and began to look around.
A moment later, Ian's eyes flashed as he discovered something.
"Found it! He's got something to sell, right?" ’
Inside a building that looks like a hawk in a store, except it's a little grim.
And inside, one of the NPCs is dozing off.
-Jakram Ancient Merchant Locke/Level: Unknown
Ian, who found him, got excited and approached him.
However, despite Ian's approach, the NPC called 'Locke’ continued to fall asleep.
“ ……! ”
Ian cautiously wakes him up, wondering if he might touch his planting.
“Hey, mister! Are you very tired? ”
“Snore.”
“Even if you get a little sleepy, can we just do business and get back to sleep? ”
“Phew.”
“Phew……. ”
And after a while, Ian's patience started to run out.
“Ahhh-!"
Suddenly, "Locke," who suddenly screamed, suddenly woke up in his place.
Then he swoops around and opens his mouth in an urgent voice.
“You haven't been to see the King, have you? Right?"
Ian, who did not know English, answered his question with a nonsense expression.
“I don't know who it is, but I don't think anyone else is here but me, so you don't have to worry. ”
“Wheezing…. ”
In Ian's reply, Locke heavily sweeps his chest away, muttering in a small voice.
“I dreamt I was being held by the King of the Salt and dragged down to hell. ”
“ ……. ”
“In a store in the underworld, I heard you have to work eight hours a day……. It's not hell for nothing. ”
“I don't know what Lugaryx sounds like... ”
Ian shakes his head and looks at Locke with an absurd look.
But to Ian, there was no time to meddle in Locke's laziness.
“Ahjussi... ”
“Hmmm...? ”
“I know you're lazy as hell, but you still have to do business. ”
“Hmm, it's annoying.... ”
“May I speak to the King? ”
“Aaahhhh!"
Locke is stunned by Ian's coercion. He shakes his head, smiling beautifully.
“Ah-ha, this guy, what if he takes jokes seriously? Hurry up and pick something. Don't even think about going to the King of Letters for no reason. Mmm-hmm.”
Ian looks at Roark in a daze, and he slips away without my knowing it.
‘This guy……. NPC, but we definitely got one of the characters. ’
And reassure Locke.), a few words were added.
“Oh, I see, sir. You were joking, right? ”
“Well, well! ”
“There's nothing to tell the King, so show him the good stuff. If you like the product, I'll go to the King and compliment him a lot. ”
“Oh my……! Now that you mention it, he was a friend of mine. ”
Ian, of course, did not know who the Salvation King Roark was talking about, but he continued the conversation, shaking nervously.
And after a while.
- Tyring!
In Ian's eyes, Jacqueram's merchandise store began to appear.
“Take a look. Items aren't cheap, but most of them are valuable items that can't be obtained unless they're here. ”
Ian nods at Roark's words and looks at the objects.
There were so many different kinds of objects, and nothing seemed ordinary, as he said.
And, of course, it wasn't cheap.
‘Phew, it costs more than 100,000. I thought you did a lot of farming gold coins.... ’
However, Ian's anticipated expression began to turn into an increasingly regretful expression.
The equipment that Ian sells in the store was an excellent item, but the more excellent the item, the more items were often exclusive to Horse users.
Of course, even if it was for the Horses, you could buy it and put it in an auction house for an awful lot of money, but it wasn't the outcome Ian wanted.
There were many ways to earn money, and what Ian wants now can only be found here, but Ian needs it. It was such an item.
‘Let's see……. So let's put the equipment on hold and check for items classified as general goods. ’
Ian, who had checked dozens of different equipment, passed the page to the 'General Goods’ tab, tasting again and again.
But that did not disappoint me yet.
The most anticipated item was the equipment item, but the general goods classification could have been rare and good enough.
And the next moment…….
“ ……! ”
Ian's eyes suddenly fluttered as he found something on the General Goods Tab's sales list screen.
What the hell is this? What's more expensive than equipment? ’
About halfway through the list of general goods, we found an item worth 450,000 pieces.
However, if the general general goods items were expensive, that was also not the case.
Whereas most of the equipment items cost between 10 and 300,000 pieces, most of the general goods did not cost more than 100,000 pieces.
‘Hmm……. Let's check this out first. ’
Ian was curious because of the ridiculously expensive price, and he opened the information on the item without hesitation.
- View the 'Horse Awakening Elixir’ item information.
And in Ian's mouth when he was reading the information window that came to his attention....
“What?"
I was so surprised that I leaked out.
