Taming Master

< (7). Central Continent Summoner -3 >

In Kaisar's words, Ian looks at the old man with fresh eyes.

"If you survived the battle with Caesar... Are you at least on the same level?" ’

Anyway, scary (?) and Ian checked the skill cooldowns to start fighting right away.

But unlike Ian, Caesar approaches the old man with a loud voice.

“It's been a long time, old man. ”

And the old man glances at Caesar, frowning slightly and opening his mouth.

[Man, you better speak up. Am I alive? If I wasn't a ghost, I would have died by your hand 10 years ago.]

Caesar grins as he sighs.

“Oh, is that how it works? ”

While the two men were talking, Ian came right in front of them, and the old man's gaze shifted toward him.

Who's this kid? Did you get your apprentice? Oh, I don't think so. I wouldn't have picked up a Summoner as my apprentice.]

Caesar, who built the disappearance, hesitates briefly.

“He is the lord I serve. ”

Ian protests in a quiet voice.

“Can you call me Lord? ”

“No. You're too weak for that. ”

“ …. ”

Caesar points at the old man and opens his mouth again.

“If you're as strong as that old man, I'll think about it. ”

“Hmmm... ”

Ian's gaze was towards the old man, and his eyes met the old man who was naturally looking at him.

Ian opens his mouth to the old man.

“What's your name? ”

[Mister! I am the protector of the Selamus tribe, the Eclipse. Lord of Caesar's estate, by the way. I didn't think that was possible. I don't know how you grilled that ignorant bastard, but you're welcome.]

“ …. ”

Eclipse shoots horses relentlessly like a rapid-fire.

Ian said you could craft a legendary rank item. ’I was almost at my throat, but I barely swallowed it and opened my mouth.

“How did you... So you're a summoner, too? ”

Eclipse struggles.

[It's not you! Call me Eclipse. It's my honorary name.]

Ian sighed and said.

“Ah... I see, Eclipse. Just answer the question. ”

[Yes, I am a summoner. But he's also a valiant warrior.]

At the words of Eclipse, Ian looks suspicious.

What is that, a double class? ’

Ian, who had an interesting look, was about to ask a question, but Caesar opened his mouth first.

“Eclipse, how are you? ”

What?

“Our lord asks if he deserves a place in Selamus' test." ”

Of course, Ian stares at the two of you in shifts, unable to understand what he was saying. After a moment, his mouth slowly opens.

[Hmm... Definitely...]

The words of Eclipse continue as Ian looks up and down.

[Clearly better than you, ignorant. I'm not satisfied, but it's worth a shot.]

Caesar was smiling, and Ian asked Pauline who was next to him with an unfamiliar look.

“Pauline, do you understand what they're saying? ”

But Pauline couldn't have known.

“No, I don't know...? ”

At that moment, a quest notification window popped up in Ian's eyes.

Tyring -

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

-Selamus Trials (Hidden, Association Quests) -

There were many neutral tribes in the ancient Central Continent.

Among them, Selamus, a tribe that had been a powerful force in the underwater realm, became extinct in the battle against the cursed giants of Immotal, and only its maintenance remained through the underground altar.

Iclibs, the protector of the Selamus tribe, has found the potential for you to reclaim the glory of Selamus and the glory of the Summoner.

He wants to test you.

If he passes all of his trials, he will be able to gain the power of the Selamus tribe, which is presided over in the sand of the Central Continent.

Quest difficulty: SS

Quest conditions:

A user who has earned a certain number of specialty points on the Central Continent.

Timeout: None.

Reward - Skill Book of Selamus' Vision (Random)

Spirit King's Judgment Item (Random of Weapons)

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

Ian reads the quest window thoroughly.

But in fact, Ian's mind was already determined just by the part of Hidden and Association Quests floating at the top of the line.

‘I don't know what reward is just because I read it... but it must be very good, right? ’

Eclipse slowly opens his mouth at Ian.

[Summoner from the Eastern Continent, will you accept Selamus' test?]

It's hard to get used to, the voice and tone weighted so far.

Ian immediately nodded and replied.

“Well, let's try it. ”

* * *

“Ahhh... How can I defeat that monster?" ”

Hun, who gave his word to Caesar and ran out of the area with a pie, was circling the nearby dungeons and hunting hard.

‘But it must be hard to level up at this rate...' The experience I had during the siege with Ian was really honey. ’

Just yesterday.

Hun succeeded in capturing all of the dark energy contained in Kaisar's crown of the Hold Dream on his neck.

And freedom.).

But the outcome was a shameful and overwhelming defeat even in the mouth.

Hun tried to destroy the contract with 100,000 reputations that he had left as part of his spleen, but that was not the case.

In the beginning, the main contract was destroyed with 100,000 reputations because it was only possible when it was desired by Kaisar's side.

Balaam, who was next to him, points to Hun.

[The only way to gain the power of Im Tal is to gain her power, Hun. You can never defeat Kaisar in the usual way.]

At Balaam's words, Hun nods.

But that didn't mean we could proceed with the mission quest right away.

In the three days that Kaisar gave me, I didn't have enough time to complete the Imperative Quest.

That's why I was hunting like this.

“Once the pie stabilizes, we'll have to lure Ian in and ask him to do a quick quest together. ”

Balaam grunts and agrees.

[Yeah, that's a good idea. Successful quests will also become easier if Lord Ian helps.]

“That bastard Ian will help.... ”

At that time, a man came to Hun's sight as he was talking to Balaam.

A red drake and summoner struggling with a sand Scorpion that looks about 130 levels.

An intrigued Hun slowly approaches him.

“What is he? Why is a 100-level summoner doing that in the middle of the central continent? ”

Poor control and combat skills from a distance.

Of course, since Ian had been seen by the Summoner recently, his eyes were high.

However, it must also have been a strange summoner in sight.

Balaam tilts his head.

[Well... By the way, that drake looks a lot like the one owned by Ian the Lord. He's a little small, though.]

Meanwhile, the question that the two of you are watching (?) The man, was none other than Kanoel.

“Yong Yong, I think we should attack from the tail! ”

Grrrrrrr!

“I'll hold them off in front of you! ”

Kanoel fights with a giant scorpion with his soul so he doesn't even know he's coming right behind him.

After a while, Hun's eyes curl up to find something.

“Hey, that!! ”

Balaam asked with a curious expression.

[What's the matter, Hun?]

“Balaam, do you see that belt? ”

Balaam's gaze shifts toward the belt that Canoel is equipped with.

[…!]

“Right? That's the Dark Lord's Covenant. Obviously...!"

The Dark Lord's Covenant was a must have item in the quest for Hun's mission.

‘I don't know why the non-Black Wizard is equipping it.... ’

Without hesitation, Hun pulls out the staff on his back and rushes toward Scorpion.

Balaam was embarrassed and asked.

What's the matter, Hun?]

Hun shouts, casting dark magic.

“Let's just save him first and ask him! ”

* * *

Ooooo -

Kung-gfucking-!

Along with a low resonance and a large friction sound, a boulder behind the void moves to both sides revealing a new space.

Eclipse takes a slow step into it.

[Come in here, Ian.]

“Sure."

Ian, who had followed the Eclipse without much thought, was embarrassed for a moment.

Tyring -

With the beep, I came up with a system message that I had never really thought of.

[You have entered the first realm of the Selamus Exam.]

[This area cannot be summoned.]

[All summoned callers are summoned back to subspace.]

[Disables all equipment stats.]

[All of your skills will be sealed.]

[At the gate of the Selamus exam, only the equipment and skills given within the gate can be used.]

What a penalty for tying all your hands and feet together!

The penalty for not being able to summon the other part was too deadly for Ian.

"No, what do you want a summoner to do without summoning you? ’

Ian stares at Eclipse in a puzzled look.

“What... is this? ”

In Ian's many meaningful questions, Eclipse smiled and answered.

[Well, that's what I just checked. We Selamus must be able to overcome difficult challenges without any equipment or summoners to become a true warrior.]

“What the…. ”

Ian couldn't help but sigh as he opened the skill spear and the item window with a deaf expression.

All of the skills were sealed and all of the items' stats were replaced by zero.

Eclipse opens his mouth.

“No, what else could a summoner do without being summoned? ”

Eclipse chuckles.

It's up to you. By the way, I'm also a summoner, but I passed all the test subjects with all these penalties.]

Eclipse walks to the back of the room as you finish speaking.

Ian can hardly bear the thought of insults coming out.

'No, it's you, the NPC made by the developer company. That should have been possible...!'

And as soon as he left, there was a blue membrane about 20 meters in diameter around where Ian was standing.

‘Is it similar to the dimensional tower you broke through when you met Gripper...? ’

After becoming completely naked, Ian begins to relax a little and prepare for the impending enemy.

But then, another system message came to mind.

[You can select a weapon to use at this Gateway.]

Of the messages I've seen since I entered this embarrassing space, the first positive (?) message.

But the next moment, Ian's face that had become brighter had to be crumpled up again.

[Each box contains a different type of weapon, and you will not know what it contains until you select it.]

With the message, five black boxes appeared in front of Ian.

What an unfriendly system! ’

Ian slowly takes his hand to one box, because it was worth a thousand bucks inside, but there was no other way.
