Blue was very unhappy.
It was because an intruder suddenly appeared while taking a nap in this forest.
We didn't know exactly what he was, but we do know that an intruder with a foreign energy should never enter this source forest.
So he tried to use his power to repel the intruder immediately.
Just before I was attacked by an arrogant magic attack.
Phew!
"What, were you not transcendent? ’
The ranger who guarded the intruder's attack had no choice but to raise questions about them.
In order to reach the forest of this source through her common sense, she had to go beyond the peril of the middleman and become 'the Transcendent’.
But the energy that was felt beyond the barrier was definitely the souls of the middleman, so her thoughts were slightly different.
Of course, I was going to kick him out of his forest, but he hasn't changed.
Before that, I wanted to find out how it was possible.
If an intruder had no threat to transcendence, he could not have been a threat to himself.
To the blue-eyed man, this choice was merely a pastime.
Weeing-!
With a single gesture, the blue blur that performed the axiomatic technique was immediately in front of Ian.
Glug-ug-.
At the next moment, Ian's eyes met the blue-eyed man.
“Who is this arrogant, ugly man? ”
An ugly human who doesn't quite meet the Blue Robe's aesthetic standards, and an uglier turtle standing next to him with a blank expression.
The two visuals I looked at closely were quite shocking to her who sought perfect harmony and beauty.
Especially as a blue-haired, unbearable turtle (?).
‘I'll just kick him out. ’
I want to get rid of curious, inconsistent beings from my beautiful forest right now.
“How dare you come into my forest without my permission.... ”
But the moment that ugly human mouth opened, the blue man had to stop.
A word popped out of his mouth that he didn't think of.
“Isn't this... Iriel's forest?" ”
* * *
Ian's assault on the ranger was a bad choice, as a result.
In a situation where you didn't think the target would be a forest keeper, you've launched a reckless attack.
But that didn't mean there was any other way in the same situation.
Obviously, the blue man had been trying to attack Ian since he first appeared, and there was no way to escape since he was found by the Forest Keeper.
However, the unfortunate thing is the degree to which Ian might have lost his intimacy with NPC due to his predecessor.
Rather, if Ian had made a wrong choice here, he would have said that it was similar to the forest of love and that it was moving too fast.
even though it was clearly a place with a different name for the forest of origin.
‘Phew, you believed too much. ’
But now that I've come to regret it, nothing will change.
Ian begins to roll his head as calmly as possible.
You have to stay alert in the tiger's den to survive.
I didn't know exactly how, but the Forest Guard was no longer attacking Ian.
Then there was something to talk about.
It was the Forest Keeper who broke the silence and opened his mouth again.
“Iriel...? How do you know him? ”
And Ian was immediately convinced of what the hermit had said.
At least there's a way we're not getting kicked out of this forest right now.
Ian's answer quickly continued.
“He's an old friend of mine. ”
“Phew... Phew? ”
“Yes, a friend. ”
The one who heard his answer asked again, staring at many.
“Turtle, maybe you too? ”
And when she asked, many nodded and replied without hesitation.
“Yes.”
I didn't like the first impression of Iriel in the Forest of Love, but I was also quite friendly with Ian in the meantime.
And Ian, who had heard many answers, did not miss the timing, opened his mouth again to the bluffer.
Before the blue-eyed man reappears hostile, as soon as possible.
“Yes, do you know him? ”
The man who puts his mouth back on Ian's question.
But without an answer, it was actually a positive thing.
If we didn't know Iriel, we wouldn't be having this reaction.
Ian waits for the bluffer's next words with a nervous expression, and soon her mouth opens again slowly.
“A friend of Iriel's.... ”
“ ……? ”
“She couldn't have made such ugly friends. ”
Goodbye!
“Bountiful -!”
Many heard the bluffer's words, but Ian quickly stopped them.
The fury of the blue-eyed man is scarier than the fury of the crowd.
Soothing the wounded was not too late after gaining the power of fire and wind.
And judging by the overwhelming look on his face, he had nothing to say about what she had to say.
If there was a gumiho in the legend, she would look like this, because she was a beautiful Demibeast.
“Why don't you ask him if it's true? ”
“That's right. Hmm... ”
The bluffer, touching his chin and staring at Ian for a moment, opens his mouth again slowly.
Her expression was clearly much worse than the first time.
“But no matter how friendly you are, you can't just barge into my woods. ”
“Th-that's it? ”
“But I can tell you the story. ”
“ ……! ”
Ian's expression was clear when he heard the serpent's words.
Just to be able to tell the story about the quest, it was more than likely.
“Tell me about how you got into my forest. ”
“Thank you……! ”
The blue-eyed man and Ian met again.
Then, toward Ian, who was about to tell his story, the bluffer warned him once more with a sharp voice.
“You're going to have to tell a good story. ”
“ ……! ”
“If you don't like the reason, even if you're friends with Iriel, I won't forgive you." ”
Ian swallows dry water in the warning of a slow-moving vagabond.
Gulp.
Ian takes a few moments to slowly start talking.
* * *
The relationship between the blue-eyed man and Iriel.
It wasn't that complicated.
The Forest of Love that Ian and many people went to was also one of the "source" forests that eventually fell out of the forest.
Iriel, the forest keeper there, was like a "sister" to the bluffer.
The blues were much higher, but it was a separate matter.
That is why Ian was able to bring the quest failure to a close.
‘There's nothing more important to living in the world than a network. ’
Ian has learned another great lesson in gaming life today!
After finishing all the stories, Ian began to get a little greedy.
This quest to obtain the source of fire and wind, the greed that a hobo might be able to help you.
‘Evidently Trowell said that this forest of origin was the heart of the spirit system. Then the blue and the mortar can't control it either. ’
Unfortunately, the blues were not that greedy.
“There's a reason for that. ”
“Yes, sir. ”
“Trowell...... This guy's dying. ”
“Yes?”
“Even if it's urgent. What a privilege.”
“ ……? ”
“Destiny to vanish anyway...?" ”
Trowell was the most spiritual king in the Middle Ages, but not the most spiritual transcendent.
For this reason, Ian, who was only a middleman, was naturally arrogant when viewed as a neophyte.
So the blue man began to worry.
To follow the doctrine, we had to expel Ian from the source forest immediately, but hearing the situation in the spirit system made me feel bad.
In fact, the natural world was lazy, and it was not a matter of the spirit for the blue man who lived a life cut off from the world in the forest of origin.
In the worst case, even if the spirit system perishes, a new spirit system will be created again.
And eventually, it will take its place.
It was just a little ‘heart-warming’ for her.
“Human. So... you came here for the source of fire and wind, right?" ”
“If the source is the power of the Spirit King, yes. ”
The bluffer who heard Ian's answer said again with a complicated face.
“Trowell sent his deputy here by his own free will.... We can't ignore him completely just by looking at his face. ”
“So, you're helping...? ”
Ian glances at the bluffer and asks again.
But unlike Ian's expectations, she shakes her head and replies.
“The intervention of my power in the middle is against the principle of the dimension. ”
“ ……. ”
“I cannot help you. But I'll give you a chance. ”
“What are the chances...? ”
“The source of fire and wind. I'll give you time to find them. ”
“ ……! ”
“If you don't get what you want in the time I give you...... it will be the fate of you and the spirit system. ”
At the same time, Ian's face was filled with regret and relief when he heard the last words of the bluffer.
It was a shame we didn't get the help of NPC with the transcendent power of the blue herd, but at least we had a chance to continue with the quest.
And at the same time that Ian came up with that idea,
- Tyring!
A new system message appeared before Ian's eyes.
- The conditions are met.
- New quests will be awarded.
- You received the quest 'Find the Source of Fire and Wind (Epic) (Association) (Hidden)’.
-Limited time: 300 minutes
- Existing quest, 'The Origin Forest (Epic) (Hidden) (Association)’ will be replaced with the corresponding quest.
- Quest difficulty has been adjusted upwards.
- Quest rewards will be increased depending on the difficulty level.
…… shorthand…….
Ian's eyes slightly widened as he was reading the system message.
The way quests were replaced and new quests were created was extremely rare.
‘Should I like this……. ’
But apart from that, Ian began to carefully read the newly created quest window.
Even if the purpose of the quest is the same, if the content is different, I'm sure I can find new clues in it.
And Ian's eyes, as he was reading the quest window, started flashing again.
