Taming Master

[Where... am I...?]

“Eh…? ”

[Who are you…. I'm confused.]

Penor killed by Ian.

His vision rises and he starts talking to Ian.

Harin, who was beside him, looked at him curiously.

“Wow... The wolf speaks? ”

In Harin's words, Penhir flinches.

[I am Charlotte, leader of the bloodline. Do not compare to such inferior creatures.]

Harin flinches at Fenrir.

“Well, well… well…. ”

Ian, who was watching the conversation, introduced himself with a shaky expression.

“I'm Ian... ”

[Ian? Ian...]

Prior to Ian's words, Fenrir introduced himself as' Chalos’ opened his mouth again.

[You're a summoner.]

Ian nods at his words.

“Yes, I am a summoner. ”

As he looks around for a moment, he looks back at Ian, looking at his fallen corpse.

Ian was a little nervous.

After all, he was the one who killed him.

But unlike Ian's expectations, Fenrir has uncovered a surprise.

[Hmm... I just want to say thank you.]

“ …? ”

[Thank you for rescuing me from the chains of frenzy.]

I couldn't figure out what to say, so I followed Charlotte's words to Ian with a straight face.

[I heard the power was sealed, but beating me... I salute your strength.]

Ian shakes his head, saying that the power was sealed.

If it was a sealed stat, how strong would it be? ’

No matter what he had in mind, Ian nodded and replied.

“Thank you, Wolves... No, Charlotte. ”

Charlotte's gaze settles on the summoners standing far behind Ian.

Then he glanced at them and said again.

[But that's too bad.]

Ian asked reflectively.

“What?”

[If only our clan had been among your summons... I could have been of great help.]

“… What kind of help? ”

[Depending on the quality of the clan, I have the ability to make my clan's child strong.]

When Ian heard that, he had a passing moment.

"Maybe we can get a clue from him that we can evolve Rye? ’

This was actually more of a conjecture than a conjecture.

Ian opens his mouth urgently.

“My summoner, Rye, is probably one of your own. Bloody Mane Wolf... Right? ”

At Ian's words, Charlotte's eyes widened a little.

[Hmm…? Among Mane Wolves, my bloodline is correct. But I don't see any of your summoners...]

Now, Lai is being recalled to the subspace by the frenzied Charlotte.

Ian said.

“Rye is now unsummoned. We wait about 20 minutes and we can get it back. ”

Charlo nods, just as if he understood.

[Aha, that's why you didn't see it. If not, I could feel the smell of blood, but I was wondering why I didn't see it.]

“Okay, just give me a minute. I'll call you back soon. ”

However, unlike Ian's expectations, he shook his head.

[But that's too bad.]

Ian's eyes frowned slightly.

“What else? We can have Lai back in 20 minutes." ”

[Because before that I'm gone. Before I go to the Spirit Realm, there's only 10 minutes to materialize here. There's only nine minutes left.]

The moment he heard it, Ian was dumbfounded.

“ …. ”

In this unfortunate situation, Ian can hardly bear the thought of insults coming out of his mouth.

"Oh, shit! Why did you make the game this way? ’

No matter how hard I try to level up, I've seen Rye not thinking about evolving, and I've thought that I have to meet something special.

However, even though I found a clue in a place I didn't think of, I couldn't accept it.

When he saw Ian sighing, saying, "Away with the unrighteousness of the land," he added.

[Thanks to you, my soul has been freed from prison, so I must give it a fair price.]

As soon as he finished speaking, I remembered a system message informing me of the item acquisition.

[You won the 'Bloody Hall’ item.]

Given the purple name, it was clearly a hero grade item.

But Ian couldn't feel better that much.

‘Ha... How should Rye evolve now...?' ’

Ian lowers his head slightly to show gratitude for the reward, no matter how he feels.

Ian's body that has been playing Kailan so far, a natural beheading procedure (?).

“Thank you, I'll take good care of it. ”

[It is the symbol of our blood. Please treat it with care.]

I haven't checked the items yet, but Ian nods.

“Yes, I will. ”

Ian takes a step toward the other side of the corridor, thinking he's done with his business.

But then, Charlotte's mouth reopened.

[Oh, are you going through this hallway to the other side, Ian?]

“Hmm…? ”

Since he had no idea where the passageway was leading, Ian nodded.

“That's right. We're going out the other side now. ”

I didn't lie because I was going to check the end of the dungeon anyway.

[As expected. Then will you do me a favor?]

NPC's request will soon be a quest.

Ian's eyes twirled a little.

‘I wish I could get even more clues about Lai's evolution with this quest.... ’

“What--what kind of a favor? ”

With Ian's question, Charlotte's words immediately followed.

[There is one more brother of mine bound to his soul.]

And then I remembered the quest window.

Tyring -

---------------------------------------

- Bloody Fenrir Charlotte's request...

Bloody Fenrir Chalos, protector of the bloodline, has been freed from the bonds of the soul with your help.

He is very grateful to you.

However, his brother is still suffering without being freed from the restraints of his soul.

Based on the information you learned from Shalos, liberate his brother and family of the night, Dark Fenrir ‘Orville’, from the restraints of the soul.

Quest difficulty: S

Quest Condition: User who freed the soul of Bloody Fenrir 'Chalos’.

Timeout: None

Reward - Unknown

---------------------------------------

As soon as the quest window opened, Ian's eyes curled.

‘S grade? S grade...? ’

A first-time level of difficulty while playing Kailan.

Ian was immediately conflicted.

‘If it's a Grade S quest... I think I just heard that rankers with 130 levels in the community also failed.... ’

But to refuse, I just missed Rye's chance to evolve.

Ian hesitates for a moment, and finally accepts the quest.

‘Yeah, well, there's no time limit, so I'll give it a shot. ’

“Okay, let me help you. ”

After Ian accepted the quest, Charlotte's expression became noticeable.

[Thank you, Ian. I want you to release my poor brother who has suffered for over a hundred years.]

“Yeah, well... I'll try. ”

‘I don't know if I can.... ’

And then came Charlotte's words.

[Walk down this corridor for about 10 minutes and you'll be able to make it out through the Porlas Gorge.]

The Porcelain Creek meant the endless cliffs that were unfolding before Ian entered the passageway.

[If you go outside the corridor, you'll probably end up on the coast. And if you follow that shore north, you'll see the town of Olives. It's been 100 years, but the terrain hasn't changed that much.]

Ian listens closely to Charlotte.

There was no need to take notes because it was not very complicated.

[When you get to Oliver Village, look for ‘Ikael’ there. He probably knows where my brother is....]

Ian asked me questions.

“Michael? Is he human? ”

Charlotte replied.

[Yes. He and I, Orville's only human friend...]

“I see… but you've been locked up for over 100 years? Can humans still be alive? ”

When Ian asks, Charlotte nods slowly.

[He's probably still alive. Because….]

After a few moments, he opens his mouth slowly.

[Because he's a man who defies his destiny.]]

* * *

Ian and Harin walk backwards through the hallway, all the way to the end.

“But Jinsung. Shouldn't we just keep hunting until the first discovery buff is over here? ”

On Harin's most obvious question, Ian nodded and replied.

“Yes, I was going to. I heard there's a place called Olives Village that runs out of the alleyway. Go there, buy a return stone, repair it, and come back for another hunt. ”

“Aha.”

About a decade later, they quickly hunted the monsters at the end of the walkway, and the two of them were able to get out of there.

“Wow! It's a real shore! ”

As I exited the passageway, the sea and horizon lines unfolded endlessly in both eyes.

The same was true of Ian's admiration.

“Wow... are the oceans really all implemented? ”

When we first started Kailan, Colonar continent, the land we tread on, was surrounded by a three-way unopened map, so no user has seen the 'sea’ in Kailan yet.

Before the northern continent was opened, the perimeter was blocked, but the last patch opened the map and opened the north.

Moreover, the fact that the northern continent is connected to the sea was first discovered by Ian.

And unlike that, the reward for the first discovery appeared before Ian and Harin's eyes.

Tyring -

[You discovered the ‘sea’ for the first time.]

[Reputation +50000.]

[Affinity for ‘Water’ attribute is increased by 5%.]

Instead of increasing Attribute Affinity, Harin gained 5% understanding of seafood ingredients.

The two free fame and stats joyfully moved north along the shore.

And like Charlotte said, they soon discovered 'the coastal town of Olives.’

“Hey, there's a real village in this corner. ”

Harin listens to Ian's solitude.

“I mean, besides the size of the town? ”

Her words suddenly crossed Ian's head.

‘If this town is still undiscovered... maybe it doesn't have a country or guild?' ’

As far as the town is concerned, it can soon be registered as a new Node for the Lotus Guild.

Ian immediately checked the information on the town of Olives.

---------------------------------------

- Oliver...

Classification: Coastal Village (Unaffiliated)

Grade: Village

Width: 5582m2

Population 1995

A village on the north end of the coast of Olives.

Shipbuilding and fishing have developed.

Territory Value: 2758

Details (Open)

---------------------------------------

‘I'm not affiliated...! You really don't belong here! ’

Ian was so excited.

It was because none of the non-affiliated Nodes found in the northern continent had ever been larger and more advanced.

Besides, the grade was already ‘village’, so it would be a huge help to the guild if it could be absorbed.

Ian quickly removed the lord's seal from his inventory.

“Node Occupied! ”

However, Ian's two eyes, both of whom had opened their seals, began to come up with unexpected system messages in turn.

[You cannot conquer the coastal town of Olives.]

[To conquer the coastal town of Olives, you must meet the conditions.]

[Condition 1. You must possess a land with a higher rank than ‘Village’. (met)]

[Condition 2. Must have a stronger military power than the town. (Not met)]

[Condition 3. Must have an affinity with the town of 70% or more. (Not met)]
