827 < 824 Won 1. Lotus' Deputy Chief Kanoel (1) >

Ian, who had obtained the sackcloth, naturally went south to Mount Spirit.

I went straight to meet the Spirit Guardian in Pneuma Village.

And when Ian arrives at the Guardian's hut, he reaches out to him with a piece of machete chisel.

Chuck.

“Elder.”

“Oh, Ian! Long time no see."

“You know what? ”

“ ……? ”

Ian was in a hurry for no other reason.

He's very excited right now.

‘If I'm right, it must be a quest related to a place like Lava Land. ’

It was determined that the ‘Chopstick Sculpture’ specified in the item information window was a dungeon similar to the ‘Lava Land’ where difficulties could be obtained.

And if Ian's guess is right, there's a new opportunity to pick up the treasures in the lava set.

It was not hard for Ian to run for a month.

‘Hehehe, I'll be able to sweep away all the mythical grade transcendent equipment in the Spirit Realm. ’

Moreover, given the flow of related quests, it seems that we can clear the Corkstone Land and find even the ruins of the Horn Mountains.

This is the perfect scenario.

“This is a sculpture of a chord……! ”

“Hehe. You know that. ”

“What's wrong with you? ”

“This was a difficult thing to obtain after defeating the machine monsters in the Horn Mountains. ”

“ ……! ”

“Information about the powerful power this item possesses...... I think the Elder would recognize it. ”

The spirit guardian, who was looking at the sliver of the rust in Ian's hand for a moment, nodded and began to reconnect.

And in his words, there was meaningful information.

“Hmm...... It's definitely a chisel. There can't be anything else that could harness the power of this wind. ”

“I told you.”

“Now I get it. ”

“What...? ”

“That's why the Mechanical Corps, all of a sudden, rushed towards Bitter Stella. ”

Ian wanted to hear more quickly about the gossip, but first he listened to the Guardian.

I didn't know what other valuable information NPCs at the level of the Spirit Guardian would give me, and I shouldn't have missed it in the rush.

And Ian's judgment was right.

“Perhaps by now, the muffled tune will be in the hands of a machine civilization. ”

“A machine civilization...? ”

“The creatures of the machine civilization are already searching for the power of strangulation. ”

“ ……! ”

The guard takes a few moments to speak again in a sinking voice.

“Why do you think this sculpture came from the body of a machine monster? ”

“That's right…. ”

“Those who have already acquired the cuttings, they are consuming their energy and creating new machines. ”

“I see.”

Ian nodded and replied.

The stories so far, Ian has been in a somewhat predictable category.

But the stories that followed were completely new.

“Hmm…… Did the trust that came down yesterday say this……. ”

“Yes……? ”

On Ian's account, Charlon flashes a bead on the table instead of an answer.

And there, the roar began to spread.

-There are those who covet the sacred power of the Corkscrew, so awaken the Corkscrew Guardians to stop them.

“ ……! ”

- If we awaken the Guardians and receive their recognition, a new hero can be born to stop the horde of darkness.

A trust with two lines of hidden quests at a glance.

Towards Ian, whom Charlon had thought of, he began to make a compensatory statement.

“The power of strangulation can only be used by warriors recognized by the wind. ”

“Is that so?”

“And to receive that ‘recognition,' you have to prove what you have from the ‘guardians of the scorching wind’. ”

Ian, who had listened to Charlon, carelessly replied.

“Aren't there five guardians? ”

“Huh...? ”

“Every time you get the Guardian's recognition, you get the stranglehold gear, right? ”

“Cough, cough, cough...! ”

When she heard Ian's words, she was dumbfounded for a moment.

But apart from the perplexing Charlon, it was too natural for Ian to have been able to make such predictions.

Ian had already destroyed the entire land of lava, and had already predicted that a similar dungeon would be a contour of strangeness.

"Hehe, just as I expected. Now we just have to go to match the chordal full set? ’

Ian repeated holding out his hands, making a face that would have made a stranger feel wicked.

But such greed of Ian (?) started squeaking from the first step.

* * *

Tata, Tata, Tata!

An employee lounge in the corner of the Kailan Planning Team.

While sleeping there for a while, Nazi Chan woke up to the noise coming from the hallway.

“Ugh, I almost fell asleep. ”

Najchan's expression then crumpled.

A confident lunch followed by a lazy lunch.

A short nap of 20 minutes was one of the few pleasures of Najchan.

In fact, it was not so long ago that this little happiness of Najchan began.

It was only a month or two ago that he was allowed to take a nap.

Ian and his crew (?) The historic day that passed from Mercury to the Spirit System.

That was the day when Nazi's trivial happiness began.

“Phew... I can't sleep again. ”

Najchan shakes his head, shaking his head, getting up from his chair and turning his head.

Blame it on Tata!

Urgent (?) As the sound gets louder, you can see someone's coming this way.

“I'm the only one who's been picked like this... ”

And the moment Najchan's muttering was over.

The door of the break room opens wide and a familiar face comes in.

The identity of the loud noise coming from the hallway, as Nazi had expected, belonged to Oh's representative.

“Tea, sir. ”

“Why? Something's wrong? ”

On a grumpy Najchan's rebound, Oh Daeri felt that his words were blocked.

But only for a little while.

With no breath to breathe, oh surrogate continued.

“Khh, did you know something was wrong? ”

“No, I didn't. ”

“Huff.”

After hearing Najchan's reply, Oh Darcy calmly continued to speak again.

“Ian had another accident, sir. ”

“Well, it happens all the time, doesn't it? ”

Despite Najchan's grumpy expression, O delegate continued to say.

“A sculpture of a chord. ”

“Yeah, you know what? ”

“It got into Ian's hands again. ”

“Hmm, really? Well, it could be. ”

“Yes?”

Oh surrogate, whose eyes are rolling, has shut up again.

“The key to the sarcophagus is in Ian's hands. ”

“I know.”

“If Ian gets to the chorus set, the spirit system content is ruined! ”

“Am I right?"

With Najchan's relaxed attitude, Oh surrogate began to feel increasingly frustrated.

I thought Najchan was relaxed because the spirit system was not his jurisdiction.

“This is no time to be so relaxed as to be part of Team 1. Once you reach the Chopstick Set and get the corresponding quest and Ian starts robbing charles…… it's obvious that Ian will ride the nebula back to the Dragon Spring! ”

Oh, surrogacy was so scary.

The day Ian will return to Mercury.

With Ian gone, the war labels have been so overwhelming.

His fear was actually very natural.

However, despite hearing the story so far, Nazi responded with a relaxed voice.

“You know what, oh, surrogate? ”

“What?”

“Ian will never get the chords set. ”

“What is that…? ”

Najchan smiled and opened his mouth again with a sudden expression.

“I knew this day would come, and I had it all set up like that from the start. ”

“ ……! ”

“Corkscrew, lava... … or ice cream. ”

Najchan said in a word.

“To prevent one user from monopolizing one or more of the content. ”

“Awesome! ”

“Perhaps by now, our Iangad will be weeping. ”

Sweet naps had already flown away, but Najchan's expression was never dark.

Rather, I think he hit Ian with one punch.) His face was bursting with vitality.

‘Huh, I never thought Ian would be so lucky to have cleared Lava Land like this. ’

Ian's face, which he would have been embarrassed about, started to feel even better.

* * *

“Yes, you are. ”

“Yes?”

“You were a warrior recognized by Lava. ”

Even when Charlon's story came to this point, Ian's expression was very bright.

“Hehe, yes. You recognize these devices as well. ”

NPC has identified some of the lava equipment he worked hard to acquire, so I'm very proud of it.

But the next moment.

As Sharon's words continued, Ian's face had to crumple.

“Then we're in trouble. ”

“Yes? What do you mean...? ”

“If a man is acknowledged by lava, he cannot challenge the test of sorghum. ”

“ ……! ”

“I need to find another hero who can be a chorus warrior. ”

I thought all I had to do was eat the prepared food, but it fell down in a way I had no idea.

“Well, there's no such thing! ”

As Charlon's words ended, betrayal poured in.) and the feeling of emptiness, Ian felt a momentary relief in his legs.

No way! No way! '

Shalon's story was too harsh for Ian, who had already finished imagining the battlefield as he swapped the lava set and the chords set.

But Charlon only speaks to the grave.

“Unfortunately, the rules have been set since ancient times. ”

“Who the hell...! ”

“Maybe it was God's will. ”

“ ……. ”

“Too bad, Ian. ”

“Phew……. ”

“If you are recognized by Lava, you have the ability to be recognized by the guardians of the Saxony. ”

“Of course!”

“I hope you gain the power of stranglehold to defeat those Machine Civilizations quickly... But I can't disobey God's rules." ”

Charlon said in a tone of silence that it was a pity, but to Ian, full of devastation, it sounded as if it only weakened him.

‘Ugh, somehow it worked out so well. ’

It was because of the unpredictable fact that I was able to penetrate the content.

‘Dammit, should we ditch the moat or whatever, and go look for some ruins on the Horn? ’

But the next moment, Ian, who was rolling his head, suddenly came up with an idea.

‘Wait, now that I think about it, isn't this a quest that only I can go on? ’

The disconnection of the quest did not mean that the pieces of the chorus had disappeared, and if he wanted to, he could share the quest with other users.

"Good. Even if I can't eat, I can't let strangers eat." ’

Ian begins to glow again, a little less devastated.

He then made eye contact with Charlon, slowly opening his mouth again.

“Then Charlon. ”

“Speak.”

“May I recommend a hero to be recognized by the twilight? ”
