Taming Master

* * *

The Lord's Office of the Piro Territory.

Harin and Fioran are delicious brunches in the office (?).

Since the battle at the Peacekeepers' station began around noon, the two of them were always supposed to meet for breakfast and lunch in the Lord's Office around 10: 30.

“Sister, how's your foie gras today? I'm a little anxious because I've never tried it before... I didn't think it would taste bad after eating a piece before. ”

Foie gras was originally a fine French dish cooked from a clear goose's liver.

Goose livers are incredibly expensive ingredients that cost between 50 and 1 million won per kg to eat in reality.

But in Kailan, the goose's liver is very cheap.

Ian has passed, starting with a level 1 to 20 stat, but is a ‘beginner's hunting ground’ for regular users.

It was because the "giant geese" that appeared there had a low chance of being dropped.

The odds were not high, but many novices hunted the geese, which made them an affordable food.

The shimmering foie gras curls in Fioran's eyes.

“Wow... It's so good...! ”

Fioran says she can't help but curl her feet to see how delicious it was, and Harin, moved by her violent reaction, likes to clap her hands and nod.

“Right! Delicious?! ”

“Yes, it's delicious. Harin's cooking has really improved the day. ”

“That's not what I meant to feel good about, is it? ”

Fioran cuts another lump with a fork and nods violently.

“I told you so?! You wouldn't know it if you tried it. Why aren't you so confident today? ”

Harin replied with a dead voice.

“No... Kawyn thinks he's just a junior high boy eating at a snack bar..." ”

Fioran's expression is absurd.

“What kind of snack bar has a liver that tastes like this? Let me tell you something. ”

“Exactly! I mean it! ”

After all, Harin regains his confidence from Fioran, muttering to himself.

‘You're sure it tastes good...? Later in the afternoon, I'll buy some ingredients and cook them myself in real life. Today Jinsung also said that he would have dinner at 8 o'clock.... ’

One of Harin's biggest pleasures nowadays was to buy and cook fine ingredients in real life.

Since the restaurant she runs on Pyro territory went very well, she was making quite a profit.

Even the expensive ingredients were not a big burden.

Harin, eager to have a sumptuous dinner with Jinsung, began to eat foie gras that was posted as his own.

At that moment, I heard a door open behind them.

Queek -

At that, the heads of the two returned automatically to that direction.

“What are you talking about, sis? Is anyone coming? ”

In Harin's question, Fioran shakes her head.

“No, well...? Kawin said he'd be there by 12: 00... and no one would come. ”

And in the corner where both eyes remained, a woman appeared.

“H-hello…?" ”

Harin and Fioran both look stunned.

She was the first person they had ever met.

Fioran asks with a shivering expression.

“Yes, how are you? But how did you get here? ”

The woman in question replied with a handsome look on her face.

“Fioran, Lord of the Piro Territory? ”

Fioran nods favorably.

“But?”

And in her next words, Harin and Fioran were even more surprised.

“Oh, I came to the right place. It looks like the territory has made its way a bit hectic. Nice to meet you. I'm Levia. ”

She was the official ranking user of the priestly class that had been piled up in the veil, ‘Levia’.

“Margie rises by 3 per 10,000 points… and her triggering rate rises by 0.1% per million points…. ”

At the end of his quest, Ian scored around 19784K, or 198 million.

What could be exchanged for these points was various stats as well as items, but Ian eventually decided to raise his stats.

‘It's not a good choice to pick a random box that doesn't even show exactly what you're giving them. ’

Ian realizes that something out of his predicted range is happening during gameplay (?) I didn't like it very much.

Ian made up his mind and looked closely into the system window.

And each of the stats obtained by that figure was:

Magic Stats

[Maggie - Magi 3: 10000P]

[Marginal Trigger Rate - Trigger Rate 0.1%: 1000000P]

[Anti Magic Power - Anti Magic Power 0.1%: 2500000P]

General Stats

[Combat Stats - All Status 1: 400000P]

[Job Stats - All Status 1: 800000P]

And of course, Ian started comparing the efficiency one by one.

‘Well, once you hit all the points, can you increase Margie's triggering rate by 6,000, Margie's triggering rate by 2%, and her anti-horsepower by 1%? ’

Even though the general stats below were not bad, Ian still intended to focus on the market stats.

‘Normal abilities are not machinery, but there are many ways to raise them. ’

Ian struggles to figure out what part of the stat he needs most right now.

‘I don't think I'll ever regret investing in any of the three stats... but what I need the most right now...! ’

Ian eventually decided to invest all the points to increase his‘ Magi ’stats.

“Use all points to increase Magi's stat. ”

Then the system message rang.

[User ‘Ian’ has 19784K total points. Redeem all points to achieve a total of 5934 and 4288 points left.]

[Do you want to proceed? (Y/N)]

Ian nods without hesitation.

“Okay!”

[Exchange points.]

[Marky's stat increased by 5934, making it 22764.]

Ian looks satisfied when he sees the message.

‘It took me at least a few weeks to gather 3,000 horses. ’

Thinking about it, the amount of $6,000 I earned in half a day was enormous.

‘Margie's trigger rate and anti-horsepower are also desirable, but first we have to fill the amount to advance to Novelis. ’

The biggest reason Ian finally chose Margie was right here.

It was already Ian, a class of 'Greater Horsemen’, which was difficult to promote as Banma, but it was because the next stage, 'Novelis’, was very coveted.

I didn't know exactly how powerful it was because I had never seen a Nobless-grade horse fight, but I was able to guess how enormous it would be if I looked at the strength of the different types of Horses.

After Ian finished all the points consumption, he finished the battle results window and the quest resulted naturally.

Tyring -

[You have completed all hidden missions.]

[+100,000 Reputation.]

And the Demon King, who was cleaning up the battlefield from afar, "Lecardo" approached Ian.

“Ian... did you say? ”

Ian lowers his head slightly in response to Recardo's question.

“Yes, Recardo. ”

Lecardo glances at Ian and says,

“Half-mae, superior horseman. Besides, I never thought I'd find a human here who chose Summoned Horse as a Magic Class. ”

Lecardo continued, looking at Ian with an interesting expression.

“But Ian, since you're a summoner, why haven't you dealt with witchcraft yet? ”

Ian replied with a handsome expression.

“I'm still used to dealing with summoners. If you're going to get a taste of the right kind of mustard soon, I'm going to try to deal with it. ”

In Ian's words, Lecardo replied with a smile.

“Good, that's a good idea. Handling a lot of high-grade horseshoes doesn't make you an excellent summoner. ”

Lecardo knew he liked Ian.

“I am the devil who worships power, and the king who rules over them. ”

Lecardo and Ian's eyes meet.

“It's because you're a ‘summoner’ walking the same path as me, but most of all, I like your strength. ”

Ian asked with a skeptical expression.

“I'm not that strong. The Horsemen under Lecardo are much stronger than me, aren't they? ”

Ian's question was obvious.

Lecardo's minions, who had just been in battle, had a number of powerful horsemen, like monsters that were more than superior horsemen.

When Ian asks, he shakes his head and answers.

“I don't mean one-dimensional strength. I'm talking about your potential. ”

“Well…. ”

Ian hesitated for a moment because he didn't know what to say, and finally, before proceeding with the quest, he decided to ask the questions first.

‘I think my liking of me is fine... I'll answer a few questions. ’

Ian opened his mouth.

“But, Recardo, I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions? ”

The pale, expressionless face of Recardo consistently.

A very slight smile appeared on his mouth.

“Okay, what do you want to know? ”

Ian immediately replied.

And that was, in a certain sense, a rather vague question.

“How can Lecardo's Valok be so powerful? ”

“Hmm…? ”

Of course, Lecardo looks embarrassed, and Ian's words continue.

“I just saw Balock continue to fight during the battle... I saw some things I didn't understand. ”

“Which part is it? ”

Ian replied.

“Baloch is a legendary grade horsepower. And if you look at Balock's basic abilities, he has a level similar to summons and spells of other common legends. ”

Since Baloch was not Ian's horse's paw, he could not confirm his detailed stats.

However, Ian had already previewed the attack power readings after all the buffs had been applied, because he could confirm that it opened a simple information window.

Moreover, in the magic book I received from Iriel before I arrived, there was a piece of information about 'Baloch’, and that was the most crucial trigger for Ian to question Baloch.

If Ian didn't usually have a hobby of researching and analyzing summoners and horses, he would never have had this kind of doubt.

Ian looks at Baloch standing still behind the Demon King and opens his mouth again.

“But Lecardo's Baloch has shown an unusually strong ability compared to his own. I didn't understand this part. ”

On the other hand, Lecardo, who heard Ian's explanation, was looking a little different from before.

If the look on Ian's face just now was a little more interesting than the look on his toy, would he look a little surprised now?

“Oh...? You caught it...? ”

Lecardo grins and sticks his finger at Balac.

Then Balak, who was standing in the back, comes to Recardo's side with a thumping sound, and the tail of his mouth curls up.

“That's right, Ian. As you said... Baloch is a legendary level of magic, but he has a special ability over other legendary levels of magic. ”

Ian raises his ears and starts listening to Recardo.

Suddenly, he raises one hand and opens his palm.

Then, out of his grasp, a powerful maggi begins to burst out, and the magi is drawn to the balock and starts blazing.

Blubber-

And Baloch, who was still with his eyes closed, suddenly began to roar with his eyes wide open.

Khhhhh!!

At that, Ian flinches, alternating between Baloch and Recardo.

Ian's gaze was fixed on the red beads floating on the palm of Recardo's hand.

“What... is this? ”

Ian waits for Lecardo to open his mouth to hear the answer to the question.

But the answer came out of nowhere.

“That... is the Witch Master...! ”

And there, Kaká sits on Kaisar's shoulders with a blank expression.
