Lord of Solples

60. Red Desert (1).

1.

[This is the Red Desert in the north of the Highwood Forest where WoodDevil appears. This is an unknown area that no one has ever approached.]

In the video, the user spits out a brief explanation and turns his head and looks at the desert of red sand unfolding behind him. And pointed to what he saw with his hands.

[It feels like Mars. But there are more fun features here than you can see. Look here.]

The screen from the video immediately turned to the ground. I saw the feet of the man talking to the red sand eggs. The man knocks on the floor with his feet.

Those who think of the desert or the sand sands as laughing at those who expect a scene of that kind of sound are the red sand dunes! I heard the sound of steel.

The man didn't stop here. I swiftly pulled out a sword that filled my waist and stabbed the floor. Black Caen that fell well! Along with a loud noise, I put only my head in the sand.

[As you can see, it's a desert, but if you work here, you have to see it as a concrete world. The same is true of the dunes over there. The sand flows down like a river, but the reality is that the sand flows shallow over the concrete. Crab

It's a nice setup to implement as a virtual reality.]

Soon, the footage of the man appeared on the screen, and the man who appeared moved his steps. The screen moved along the corpse. The footsteps of the corporation stopped in front of a giant thing.

There was a snake in front of the house. A giant snake, but the appearance of that snake was strange in many ways. The snake had a very hard, shiny, exoskeleton-like skin that reminded me of insects instead of the oily scaly skin I should have had. The most remarkable thing

Half the serpent's body was buried in the desert.

The user opened his mouth again.

[But if you hunt here, all of these settings are going to be horrible, not cool. Here are some tips for those of you who use the Red Desert as a hunting ground. If a monster escapes into the ground while hunting, wait for him to come back or run.

And if you're being dragged into the ground, then prepare for your vacation. And for tankers, be mind-blowing.]

At that moment, the atmosphere in the video changed. As if I really had a camera, the screen started to flutter.

[Damn it! It's here again!]

[Battle Preparation! Battle Ready!]

[Never be dragged! Especially the tankers!]

A tone of urgency flowed out of that flutter. Then, when the screen regained some calm, the user who had explained so far turned to the viewer beyond the screen.

[He was a single member of the Bigsmile Guild for more than a year.]

The video is off.

Hirkan's gaze, captured by the video, regained its freedom, and Hirkan shifted his gaze. He lifted his head and looked in front of his eyes. In front of Hirkan's eyes, Sandnake's corpse was slowly melting with a snake that looked like the monster in the video.

Shaking, shaking, shaking, shaking.

The two skeleton knights riding the Skeleton Horse around the Sandsnake were moving slowly with a fierce energy as if they were bordering. The two skeleton knights were paralyzed. But Hirkan's planting, looking at them, was not very good. It had to be bad.

‘One Skeleton Knight at a Time. ’

When I arrived in the Red Desert, Sandnake, the most famous monster in the Red Desert, was waiting for Hirkan. In return, Hirkan throws a piece of skeleton, a gift brought by the houses.

The battle itself could not have been worse. Sandnake had a hard envelope that looked like it, but on the contrary, he had no other special abilities. A mere amphibian would be difficult for a well-trained Skeleton Warrior and a Skeleton Knight in a Skeleton carriage enhanced by legendary ancient powers.

He was a worthless opponent.

Above all, the effectiveness of the [Ghost Corrosion] skill has been worked properly. Hirkan enhanced [Curse] skill with transcendental power after a long war, and the powerful [Corrosion Ghost] skill quickly weakened the envelope of Sandnake, which cannot lift the curse. Latest Purchased [Curse Doll] Skill Duck

It was not difficult to curse him.

It was too easy at the beginning of the battle to surprise Hirkan.

‘There can't be anything easy in my game life. ’

But at some point, Sandnake bites one of the skeleton knights who was suddenly attacking himself, and goes off into the ground. And the Skeleton Knight disappeared in that state.

Immediately.

A result that never matched the Skeleton's men.

After that, the battle began when Sandnake reappeared, during which two Skeleton Warriors became like Skeleton Knights.

‘No matter how big it is, the skeleton knight with the skeleton horse is so big, why don't you just drag it in? ’

Hirkan, who has checked the battle once again, fills his tongue.

This was simply untrue.

The Skeleton Knight of Hirkan is not a skill that can be summoned indefinitely. That's why it was such a great bleed that the Skeleton Knight was extinguished in an instant.

‘The role of a tanker against a sandwich would only be Golem. ’

Of course, it's hard to use a skeleton knight as a tanker or striker as usual, so a tanker is forced to make a big golem.

‘The horsepower consumption is too great. ’

This is also a problem.

The reason Hirkan doesn't use Golem as his main focus is because it's weak. Golem is strong. It costs too much to summon a normal monster. If you bring only one Skeleton Knight to Golem, it's a slaughter with a cattle knife to catch chickens.

And now this payment to Hirkan is all money. Also, the consumables that can be placed in Hirkan's stomach are not infinite. If the consumption is fast, it leaves something else and the activity time is reduced.

Hirkan raises his head and looks at the sky.

‘You can't fly and move. · · · ·. ’

The best thing to do is to fly the Bean Wyvern without a fight and find the destination you want, but Warlord wouldn't allow a user to drink such sweet honey.

Riding skills can be used to designate a destination in the first place. The destination can only be set up in a Node area, such as the Hard Fortress Ruins.

Of course, it's okay to just get on. However, in this case, it is impossible to control. In the case of a Bone Wyvern, it just sits on the ground and waits blank, moving during combat. And riding the Bourne Wyvern in combat is suicide.

For that reason, I also walked all the way here.

"Shit."

Of course, we must continue to walk and move. You must leave a footprint in this infernal red desert.

Hirkan looks down at the sky.

‘Yeah, let's see who wins. ’

2.

[Level has been raised.]

[Iron Golem's Skill Skill Level has been increased to Rank D.]

[Skill Skill of Bone Dragon has been increased to Rank D.]

I heard a notification announcing a level-up, but I didn't hear anything like that in Hirkan's ear.

‘End of battle! ’

Hirkan turns his head, ignoring even the red scorpion he caught, and starts to run.

It's just up to me.

“Damn it! ”

Running out of Hirkan's mouth came a roughness and indignation. It was the forest that stood before Hirkan's eyes.

‘Finally found it! ’

Filled with huge trees that can be seen in the Highwood Forest, the forest has a completely different atmosphere than the red desert, which is beyond quiet.

‘If I hadn't come out today, I would have gone mad. ’

Ten days and two more after Hirkan set foot in the Red Desert, it was the first result of his encounter.

Hirkan's hardship for 12 days was more than I imagined. The desert environment has made it difficult for users in a different sense. Rest was not allowed, and I was always forced to feel tense. In the meantime, finding something that doesn't even know where it is, even if you spend 10 minutes in the desert,

Ten minutes felt like a longer time.

Moreover, it was a discovery at a time when the consumables Hirkan had kept in his body were almost exhausted. If we don't find it today, Hirkan's eyes won't change in the face of discovering that he doesn't want to go back.

‘Yes, come out with anything. I'll kiss you when the zombies come out! ’

When Hirkan reached the forest with such joy, he was finally able to meet him.

“Dead man, never approach this place again. I'll only let you go this time.If you come back here next time, you won't have any bodies left. ”

Elves with red skin.

[You acquired the title 'The Red Elves and the First Friend’.]

[Quest ‘Relic of Elves’ begins.]

‘Damn it! ’

It was the moment when Hirkan's sprint, which even Anugas couldn't stop.

3.

Puck!

The sword is stuck around the neck of Lizardman voodoo magician like an axe. The Lizardman voodoo master trembled.

But the only allies who can help such Lizardman voodoo master, the zombies can't help the master.

“Zombie clear! ”

“You just have to finish him off. ”

Two users, one male and one female, were amazingly neatly summoned, killing the last ten zombies and one dog left. Zombies caught in their hands can't even resurrect.

In their words, the user, who had retained the mask, recovered the sword by lowering the neck of the Lizardman voodoo master with a sword.

Fujit!

Bloody water burst out of Lizardman Voodoo Master's throat, Khor! Khh! In his mouth, there was a sound of breathlessness.

Puck!

At the same time, the user who recovered the sword kicked Lizardman Voodoo Master's ankle and drowned Lizardman Voodoo Master. The fallen Lizardman voodoo master is quite fluffy! As soon as he tried to open his mouth and cry out loud, the sword came forward between the open noses of such a Lizardman voodoo magician.

I crashed.

Puck!

A Lizardman voodoo magician who was already full of vines was killed in the attack.

Last time I saw that terminal, I heard the same notification in my three ears.

[You have killed a hundred Lizardman voodooers.]

[You have fulfilled the quest ‘Request of Barley Tribe’.]

Two people flashed their hands on the notification.

“Finally caught a hundred! ”

“When I got the real quest, I thought it was crazy, but I caught it! Hahaha!”

The two looked very happy, and the user who caught Lizardman voodoo master, Thing, smiled with joy. The grin on his ugly face was very frightening. With that smile, Thing looked at the two of them. It was the grin of a horrible thought that would never be an excuse to be surprised, but the two of you were surprised to see that smile.

I had not been taking a break

“Shall we go right away? ”

“Let's go! ”

The two approached Thing and asked questions as if they were walking puppies.

Thing told them.

“Let's take a break. ”

“Then I'll slaughter you. ”

“You dismantle zombies. I'll dismantle Lizardman. ”

“Hey, why am I the only one doing that? ”

“I'm a crusader, aren't I? Undead monsters melt just by touching them. ”

“That's a hunting story, don't you care about slaughtering? ”

“Well, I still have settings, but I have to follow them. If this was in a fantasy novel, the moment I touched a zombie, the zombie would melt and fall asleep. ”

“Fuck you, fuck you. ”

Ignoring the thought in front of them, they talked to each other in a shock. Eventually, the two turned their heads toward each other and immediately began slaughtering.

Thinking of it, he smiled lightly.

‘It's still a fun combination. ’

When I first met them, I remembered the thought of looking at them.

‘I never thought there would be guys like me in the Hydra Guild. ’

The beginning of the memory was the day the Fighters Guild was taken over by the Hydra Guild. At that time, the Fighters Guild was a festive atmosphere. The majority of Fighters Guild members could not complain without being part of a 30-year-old Hydra Guild.

Thing was one of the few. He began to wonder whether or not he should come out of the Hydra Guild. I had no objection to the Hydra Guild. Policy issues. Though in the Fighters Guild, think was given enough freedom of action, I didn't think the Hydra Guild would give me the same freedom.

Above all, I thought the Hydra Guild would never let go of their cards.

To think like that, the Hydra Guild made an offer first.

There is a team dedicated to the quest within the Hydra Guild, so Thing asked you to proceed with the quest you want from that team. I will also cooperate fully with the guild in order to proceed with the quest.

Thinking then pondered, he gave an answer.

Let's do it! Do it, or we'll go get out of the guild!

At that time, I met two users in front of me, Crusader Yozori, Monk's second-ranking job, and Joba, who had a job in style that was as hard to see as Richie.

The two were the same class as Thing.

Good nerds. Those who enjoy the game rather than the endless speculation in the game.

And you are.

“If you finish this Elf Tribe quest, you can really meet the Red Elves, right? ”

“That's how the hint came out, of course. ”

“I'm looking forward to it. What do the Red Elves look like? It's going to be red, so it's going to feel completely different. ”

“You must be pretty.”

“What if you're pretty? ”

“What about you? You're handsome, aren't you?”

“Hm, it's not important to be handsome, it's really important to be handsome. Like the Dra Tribe.”

“What a pervert. ”

“What about you? The last time you saw him, he used to have poisonous eyes on young elves. ”

“Oh, no! You bitch, who are you sending to the police station? ”

“What's wrong with you? ”

“No! What are you doing? The last time you went to the frozen ground, you only took hundreds of Vigil photos! ”

“That's a basic taste that every woman understands? ”

I really like elves.

Thinking of listening to the two conversations made a real difference. Acting with them as long as they were enjoyable, unlike themselves, was a huge vital force for the gameplay of the fun but lonely Thing.

‘It reminds me of him. ’

At that moment, a text came to him.

"Huh?"

It's not going to be weird, but the moment I saw the caller, I was surprised.

The thought of reading the text immediately gave a serious expression.

‘Funny. This way. ’

Thought was still arguing towards Yozori, Joba and the two of them.

“Let me ask you one question. ”

The two quarrels immediately stopped.

“You can ask me two questions. ”

“Then I have three. ”

“Is there anyone out of line here? ”

“Yes?”

It was the first time the two of them were silent.
