Taming Master

* * *

As the blacksmith said, 'Tiver,' Ian turned white.

It was because the name Tiber was very familiar to Ian, who had lived in the forge for a while.

"Oh, so the village NPCs can also apply for Raid. ’

The most intimate of NPCs in the warrior village.

Ian hurriedly entered the barracks with an anticipated look on his face.

We need to get as much information out to Tiber as we can to make up for coming in 20 minutes late.

Glug.

Ian walks through the barracks and walks right around looking for Tiber.

Soon after, Tiber and Ian's eyes met.

“Oh, Ian, you're finally an elite soldier! ”

“That's right, Tiber. I didn't expect to see you here. As expected, you'll need Tiber's dexterity everywhere! ”

Ian's proficient father, Tiber, laughed and said.

“Haha, you're welcome. You always need a blacksmith on the battlefield. ”

Of course, Ian and Tiber's intimacy had already risen to a level that couldn't be higher.

But that doesn't neglect intimacy management.

Affinity with NPCs with production-related classes, such as Tiber in particular, was of greater importance.

‘Maybe Tiber will let the livers in this barracks use the forge. ’

As Ian shines his eyes and examines the forge, Tiber's words continue again.

“Yes, you're here to support the Magic Stone mining, right? ”

Ian nodded and immediately replied.

“Of course. Before I go to the Magic Stone Quarry, I'd like to learn some skills from Master Tiber." ”

“Hehe, technology……. It's definitely not an easy task to mine Magic Stone. ”

Tyver nods his head and picks up a pickaxe that was lying neatly in the corner of the barracks.

And as I looked at it, I began to reconnect.

“Have you ever done any mining? ”

In Tiber's question, Ian was momentarily unavailable.).

It was because it reminded me of his soul mate, Hahn, in a mine in the past, who used to do infinite nogada with him.

“Of course. I once lived in a mine. ”

“Oh!”

In Ian's answer, Tiber became very anticipated.

He confirmed Ian's determination and persistence in the forge, so Ian's words of living in the mine did not sound like nonsense.

Tiber slowly opens his mouth, reaching out his pickaxe to Ian.

“Take this first. The basic method of mining is not very different, but I have some explaining to do. ”

And when I accepted that, I remembered a system message in front of Ian's eyes.

- You won the 'Teaver's Sturdy Pickaxe’ item.

A sturdy pickaxe made of blue light in a mysterious atmosphere.

Ian glares at his eyes, checking the information window of the pickaxe.

-Tiver's Sturdy Pickaxe

Classification: General Goods

Rank: Rare (Superior)

Durability: 9,990/9 ,990

A sturdy pickaxe crafted by a dimensional blacksmith, Tiber.

It's a mechanical version of an onion, but it's got a lot of care in it.

Contains trace amounts of magical power, making it easy to mine dimensional minerals.

* Equipment that can be mined up to the rarest (transcendent) grade of minerals.

* Each time you pick a pickaxe, your Durability will decrease by 1. (If you return to the Forge and charge a dimension of Magical Power before its full Durability falls, you can repair up to 80 percent of its Max Durability.)

* You cannot mine anything other than Dimensional Minerals.

In Kailan, 'Pickaxe’ items are originally classified into the 'Equipment’ category.

However, this pickaxe received from Tiber was classified as' general goods’.

"That's unusual. Is it an Eventual Item that can only be used within a Raid Map?" ’

In the item information window, Ian noticed two things:

The first is the Durability floating at the top of the info window.

‘Wait, if the durability of this pickaxe decreases by 1 at a time.... 9,990 seems too small. ’

Ian recalled the crazy mining days of his past.

‘If I start farming properly, I'll do a pickaxe in roughly 1-2 seconds……. ’

Then she quickly rolled her head and started conceiving.

‘A pickaxe per 1.5 seconds will give you approximately 250 minutes.... Mine enough for four hours and your durability will run out. ’

In fact, the only user who checks the durability of the pickaxe and thinks this way is Ian.

You have to think that 9,990 pickaxes are ‘insufficient’ in the first place to have this idea.

And the second thing Ian noticed was an additional explanation at the bottom of the information window.

Parts of minerals up to the rarest (transcendent) grade are available for mining.

‘If there is a grade of minerals, that means there is more than one type. ’

I could not make a specific guess, but I could make two assumptions.

1. There is a grade in the ‘Dimensional Magic Stone’ that needs to be mined for Clear.

2. There are other types of minerals that are mined besides dimensional magic stones.

And Ian thought there was a good chance it was the latter.

Since the minimum public value available for Magic Stone mining quests was 600, and the minimum requirement for completing quests was to mine six Magic Stone, it is possible to guess that the available public value for each Magic Stone is fixed at 100 points.

If the Magic Stone had a grade, it wouldn't have been a fixed date, so it would have been possible to mine different kinds of minerals.

‘I thought this was just a Nogada quest, but there are lots of fun elements. ’

While Ian was thinking about things, Tiber's explanation followed.

“We don't have much time, so I'll just explain a few simple things. ”

“I'll listen.”

“First of all, these are the coordinates of the mine where you can mine dimensional magic stones. ”

As soon as Tiber finished speaking, a translucent system window appeared in Ian's eyes.

And it was in the form of a 'mini-map’ that everyone was familiar with as Kailan's users.

“There are ten veins in the Dimensional Forest. And soon, everywhere, magic stones can be mined. ”

Ian listens to Tiber, focusing on a few moments before continuing.

“But here's a simple tip. ”

“Tip……? ”

“See that blue glow on the map over there? ”

“Yes, I see it. ”

“That blue light travels to random mines every 30 minutes, but mining where the light resides increases your chances of mining Dimensional Magic Stone. ”

“Aha!”

“The stronger the light, the higher the chance. ”

Ian's eyes sparkled.

The more I heard the story, the more I felt that this Magic Stone Mining Quest was not just an old versatility quest.

‘I don't know what the probability correction is, but it's still significant enough to move the vein. ’

Towards Ian, who listens with an interesting face, Tiber adds one last thing.

“But I wouldn't recommend moving to a place with blue light. ”

“Why is that? ”

“The stronger the blue light, the more dangerous the mining environment will be. ”

“ ……? ”

“That blue light means dimensional magic. And monsters in this dimension of forest, they love dimensional magic. ”

After that, the description of the Tiber continued step-by-step for approximately five minutes.

And Ian smiled slightly at his mouth, hearing all of Tiber's explanation.

* * *

Ian leaves the keep without hesitation, surrounded by a pickaxe.

Now that I heard the explanation, it was time to act as quickly as possible.

‘First, we need to know about this dimensional forest.... ’

Ian checks to see if there is a small mini-map in the corner of his vision.

Five blue energies floating on the mini-map.

At the eastern end of the forest, the greatest blue energy lingers, but Ian doesn't intend to move there directly.

Since it is said that the stronger the light, the higher the risk, the higher the chances of mining are, so we should not move around indefinitely.

‘I need to know the overall difficulty level. And we need to come up with a strategy. ’

Ian, who was on Haley's back, summoned Kaká in addition.

We couldn't summon that mission as reliably as Kaka in a situation requiring reconnaissance.

“Kaka, you move to the northeast. Let's go around the far east vein and meet back north. ”

“I understand, master. ”

Ian, who gave the mission to Kaká, moves directly north.

And as I moved, the atmosphere in the forest was getting creepier.

‘It's about time something came up... …. ’

Ian pulls the tension cord taut and straightens out with the summoners.

And it's been about 10 minutes?

Boozek-Boozek-Boozek-!

Ian can finally find the shadow of the monster.

“ ……! ”

Ian quickly examines the monster's information.

-Diment of Dimension/Lv 10

Monsters with an appearance reminiscent of a ghost, named "Dimensional Evil."

Harley, who was burning Ian, growled at a low tone, and Lai, who was next to him, also asked Ian.

“Master, shall we attack? ”

But Ian stopped Lai and Harley from leaping forward.

“Wait, wait. ”

If it were normal for the owner to choose to attack without hesitation, Rye and Holly became somewhat hesitant.

But he was also very short notice.

They waited quietly for Ian's next order.

‘The dimensional level is 10... It must be similar to the dimensional cavalry that fought in the Mirror Battlefield. ’

The reason Ian didn't start the fight early was simple.

Because there's nothing to gain from fighting them now.

‘Catching them doesn't give us XP right now. Let's wait and see. ’

The number of evil spirits protruding from the forest began to grow.

A group of demons that looked at least twenty to Ian's eyes.

They ran out in droves in the opposite direction to see if they hadn't found Ian.

Ian passed by the hidden forest and disappeared.

Ian looks a little suspicious as he looks at the direction the monsters disappeared on the mini-map.

‘Tiver said monsters like dimensional magic... ’

According to Tiber's information, monsters should move towards the mine where the magical power resides.

But now, the hordes of demons that passed by Ian were moving towards a direction where there was no blue energy at all on the minimap.

It's an ironic situation.

What the hell is that? I don't think Tiber gave us the wrong information……. ’

Ian turns his head to make assumptions like this.

And after a while.

“ ……! ”

Ian's pupils are slightly dilated, whether something came up.

"Yes, this explains it! ’

Ian, once again on Harley's back, quickly began to move.

And the direction Ian's group started to move was just west of where the monsters disappeared.
