Taming Master

* * *

Helheim and the Knights have become more powerful than when they came on the expedition to hatch Ian and Griffin's eggs.

And so is Ian.

Pachaona, over 180 levels, was still outnumbered by Terranodon, close to 200 levels, but enough to hold one hand.

Moreover, with the alliance of Kaisar, a strong force that is difficult to protect from Helheim and superiority, the perforated plateau, which was a terrifying hunting ground, has been transformed into a bonus dungeon like honey.

“Wow... Ian, do you hunt in this environment all the time? ”

Fioran gives a jealous glance at the same time as admiration.

Ian scratches his back head.

“No... It's been a long time... ”

But Ian's excuse (?) was silenced in Hers' words.

“Son of a bitch. Sucking all this honey by yourself... That's why leveling up is so fast. ”

Fioran nods and agrees.

“I agree, Ian. That's too much. Please take care of the guild members. ”

“Yes, yes! ”

Ian became a selfish lord who didn't take care of the guild members.

“ …. ”

After a smooth hunt, Ian's group quickly drills through the perforated plateaus and approaches the geographical area of the Central Continent.

Immediately, a white fluttering curtain appeared in front of the group's eyes.

It's a dimensional boundary that you see when you cross a field.

It was evidence that they arrived in the Central Continent.

Fioran, who moved just ahead, asked Ian with a excited expression.

“Is this our first time, Ian? ”

“I don't know. If I'd moved fast in the Giant Guild, I might have gotten there first..." ”

And the answer to their conversation was Kaisar, who appeared in the back.

“We'll be the first. No one knows the terrain better than I do. ”

At that, Ian folded his head.

‘Obviously... I arrived very quickly. ’

From the perforated desert to the perforated altar, it was a desert so desolate that the horizon was visible.

However, the closer we got to the Central Continent, the more abundant the Great Rocky Canyons were, and if it wasn't for Kaisar, we would have wasted a lot of time finding our way.

“Then... let's go inside. ”

Ian moved forward with a cheerful look.

Since the first discovery reward was shared with all the party members in the same area, it didn't matter who entered first.

As soon as Ian passed the whirlwind of light, a system message appeared in front of the eyes of all Lotus guild members.

Tyring -

[The first discovery of the central continent, Sikar.]

[Reputation +100,000.]

[Increases reward from all monsters in Shikar by double. (If you discover a dungeon for the first time, there will be a duplicate EXP reward.)]

[Increases Guild Reputation of Lotus Guild by 100,000.]

:

:

In the spilling system messages, the faces of Ian and the members of the guild are gloomy.

“Khh, you've filled 100,000 Guild Reputations, too? You filled the escalation slip, right? ”

Ian nods at Hers' words.

“I know. I don't have to bother returning to the guild. ”

And the first sentence that caught Ian's eye was also an increase in reward for hunting.

Moreover, Ian's two eyes sparkled with a kind explanation that the dungeon was duplicated until the very first discovery.

Let's go, Level 130! If I find one dungeon, I'll shoot it right away! ’

Ian's gaze returned to Caesar, a naturally great bus driver, and Caesar's eyes met his mouth wide open.

“Why are you looking at me like that, my lord? ”

Ian smiled and replied, "Are you happy that you're the lord?"

“You don't have to know. Huhu.”

Then Ian took the letter from the emperor and read it again.

In Ian's view, it's just a friendly explanation of the quest's contents.).

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

- Exploring the Sikar Ruins -

Hidden in the ruins of Shikar is the Holy Grail of Holdream.

Holy water contained in the Holy Grail of Holdream will double the growth of the Central Continent Node and reduce the time it takes to occupy the Node by half.

Use the Holy Grail of Holdream to gain it faster than the Kaimon Empire and as a basis for occupying more Nodes.

Quest difficulty: SS

Quest conditions: unknown.

Timeout: None.

* If a user of the Kaimon Empire obtains the Holy Grail first, the quest will fail.

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

‘Holy Grail of Holdream.... They say there's no time limit, but we have to move as fast as possible. ’

Ian asks for Caesar.

“Kazin, do you know where the ruins of Sikar are? ”

When Ian asks, Kaisar nods without delay.

“Of course. The ruins of Sikar are at the heart of the central continent. ”

“What about the Holy Grail of Holden? ”

Kaisar's expression changes slightly.

“Hmm…? Holy Grail of Holdream.... I know about the Holdream, but I've never heard of the Holy Grail of Holdream. ”

Ian nods, a little disappointed.

Knowing the location of the Ruins helped me a lot.

“Got it."

Caesar opens his mouth with a curious expression.

“The Holy Grail of Holdream. Is it a massive artifact?”

Kazar with twinkling eyes.

Ian is flawed and shocked to find the look in his eyes when he was craving the sword of Dark Penhir.

“Well, it's not like that. It's an item the king asked me to find. ”

“Ahh... I see.”

Caesar distracts me then.

Seeing that, Ian muttered to himself.

‘Do you think you can raise your loyalty by obtaining good items and giving them to Kaisar? ’

It was Ian who thought it would be possible somehow.

“The first discovery reward didn't come out means someone stepped on the Central Continent first. ”

Following Shakran's words, Sailon nods.

“Yes, Master. We don't know how we got there sooner... but we think someone got there first. ”

Emily, who was following, added:

“Perhaps the darkroona guild is the best? ”

Like the Titan Guild, the Dark Cruna Guild dispatched an expedition toward the Central Continent as soon as the large-scale update was complete.

Since she was the top ranking guild on the list, Emily's thoughts were somewhat natural.

“Hmm…. Is it too late this time...? ”

Shakran's expression is slightly crumpled.

I was in such a hurry to tread on the land of the Central Continent before the Darkness, but I was a little angry to think I was late in the end.

“What are you going to do? We'll have to find and capture the Node first, right? ”

Shakran shakes his head at Sailon's words.

“No, I have work to do first. ”

The tail of Shakran's mouth dries up.

‘The continent's first discovery reward was stolen from the Dark Crusaders... But we'll get the Holy Grail first. ’

The reason Shakran was convinced was simple.

Because he was the one who received the Holy Grail quest.

Empire quests are different from regular quests, so the same quest is not given to many users.

And there were very few quests that happened again.

In other words, Darkness did not even know the existence of the Holy Grail.

‘With the Holy Grail, we can just reverse the damage we didn't get for the first time. ’

Moreover, soon enough, the Kaimon Emperor's reinforcements will arrive on the central continent.

Shakran turns around and opens his mouth to Sailon and Emily.

“We move to the heart of the Central Continent. ”

Emily mutters in a bewildered voice.

“Yep? What about all the Nodes in the world? ”

Sailon stares at Shakran with a curious look, and Shakran's mouth reopens.

“If you find the Holy Grail of Holdream at the Ruins first, it's not about repairing the Node. ”

The guilds of the hostile Ruspel Empire don't seem to concern Shakran.

* * *

Boom-boom-boom!

The Abyss Hall explodes on both arms of the bread rack, and the Breeze of the lake that blazes over it.

The grinding skills of the subsequent pins scattered with numerous monsters.

[Soul of Desert War defeated. EXP 128910.]

[Gain 5 Major Points.]

:

:

Monsters that emerged after entering the Central Continent were on a much weaker level than Pachaona Terranodon in the perforated plateau.

Monsters that appeared mainly had the name 'Spirit of Desert War', and they looked like gladiators made of sand.

Monsters are in their early 150s.

There were monsters at a similar level to the officers in Neurox that Ian fought to bore him to death in the Porcal Islands.

"You're the best poacher ever! ’

They were lower level monsters than Pachao or Terranodon, but there were so many of them that the difficulty level was no different.

But Ian was originally a specialist in hunting against the majority, so he roamed the battlefield like a meat encounter with water.

“Seria, I need some cake treatment! ”

“Yes, my lord! ”

And if a bit of a rush comes along, Caesar makes things clear and disappears, and Ian's group makes a run for it.

But what's the specialty point? You've accumulated a little since completing the last quest, and now you've accumulated almost 20,000? ’

Major Points, a new piece of merchandise that has begun to pile up at the top of the inventory.

At this point, we didn't know what we could use it for, but it was definitely something that would play an important role in the future.

‘By the way, you didn't say much when Finn pulled you out and fought? ’

Ian glances at Helheim.

When I first summoned Finn, I took it out without much thought, but during the hunt, I remembered the existence of Helheim and the Imperial Knights.

Did I worry too much? Well... Who would have thought that twins were born in eggs? ’

As Ian was thinking about things, a group of monsters appeared again.

In Ian's eyes, monsters were only a bunch of EXP.

“Pauline, buy some time out front! ”

“Yes, my lord! ”

After becoming a shaman, the name of Pauline, who calls Ian, changed.

The name "Birkhoff" changed from "Lord" to "Lord."

Loyalty is too high to compare with Kaisar, so it has already risen to about 80.

Caesar's loyalty, on the other hand, had just fallen to four.

I sighed again from Ian's mouth.

‘If only Kaisar could do whatever I wanted...' ’

He felt like Ian was losing EXP for some reason because he was poking around the map, moving around on his own.

Even if it was the same party or Kahun, they could not share experience points if they hunted more than a certain distance away.

And by the time he had captured almost all the monsters that appeared, Caesar suddenly appeared inside his vision, as if he had read Ian's mind.

“I think I found it, Lord. ”

“Hmm…? You found the ruins?”

“Yes.”

Following Caesar, a massive structure unfolds at the bottom of a carved canyon.

It was a majestic stonework reminiscent of the pyramid.

A little different from the pyramid, there are several small peaks rising around the big peak.

Ian's face lit up.

“Okay, then let's move quickly over there. ”

The rest of the group is looking down at the ruins after killing the remaining monsters in the back.

But then...

An unexpected word flows from Kaisar's mouth.

“But there is a problem, my lord. ”

“What?”

Caesar points his hand somewhere and says,

“That's the entrance to the tomb. I saw someone go inside first. ”

“ …?! ”

Ian was reckless.) seemed to collapse.

How can anyone get there faster than us? ’

Anger at the loss of the original reward of the dungeon, rather than the feeling that someone might take the Holy Grail first.) was pushed up.

Ian looks away and opens his mouth toward Helheim, who slowly approached Ian's side.

“Let's move quickly. The Holy Grail must not be taken away. ”
