Taming Master

< 622 Fortress Defense Battle (下) (8) >

When a user defeated a monster in Kailan.

There are two main ways monsters drop items:

First, how items are awarded to the inventory of users involved in killing as soon as a monster dies.

Second, monsters literally "drop" on the spot where they died.

Not all items dropped by the Iron Swarm were shared by Hun and Ian.

For some items, including ‘Magical Aggregates’, one was created on Hun and Ian's inventory.

Ore items such as magic stones and crystals have been swept away by Ian.

Minerals were dropped just as the Iron Swarm fell.

Ian was on site collecting them all.

Ian cast his rationalization as he stared at the breaded inventory.

‘With my efforts in catching the Iron Swarm, my stake seems to be 90 percent...... I should be able to swallow this much, hehehehe. ’

Even Lotus' guild members, who were busy repairing the walls, could not find even Ian picking up the minerals that were dropped by the Iron Swarm.

That's why Ian is coming into the fortress, this ridiculous (?) I was able to place the blunt field.

“Ian, you see? We've completed our turrets. Now give me six magic stones. ”

“Hehe, Ian. I was chased away by monsters while mining Magic Stone... ”

“Yes, I've heard of an Epic Monster who looks like a stranger from the mines. ”

“By the way...... it looks like the centipede we just caught is the one. ”

Lotus' lambs, chattering and welcoming Ian.

But it didn't take long for their playful expressions to stiffen.

Ian smiled and opened his mouth because he looked so confident.

“Come on, gather around. Let's begin Magic Stone Distribution now. ”

And as soon as it fell, the noisy intestine became silent in an instant.

To distribute the Magic Stone was like Ian getting all the Ore.

“Really...... You mining all forty Magic Stones?" ”

“No way...! You got all seven quest items in two hours? ”

Hers and Remir mutter toward Ian at the same time with a puzzled look.

Only the Hun, who had anticipated this situation, was looking at him with a placid expression.

‘Obviously, I will distribute six Magic Stones first...... and then sign additional labor contracts with the remaining Magic Stones. ’

I've already been through this once, and I think I know what Ian's plan is!

‘Let's see, we have about six hours left before the portal closes today…… One Magic Stone per hour, will there be an additional Labor Contract signed? ’

Hun shakes his head and walks up to the watchtower of the keep.

While the poor guild members entered into a seemingly inexplicable contract, they made a watch to see if any new Epic Monsters would show up.

And out of Hun's mouth on the watchtower, I was amazed.

“Khh...! ”

Although no more Epic Monsters appeared, it was because numerous dimensions of ghosts were melting away from the fortress.

Specifically, the performance of the newly built telescopic turret was truly enormous.

Jiji, Jiji, Jiji!

The epilepsy that falls relentlessly from the sky.

A myriad of dimensional demons melting into an electric roast!

- Reduces the health of Ferocious Dimensional Bears by 1275!

- You have successfully defeated the Ferocious Dimensional Bear!

- Kill contribution: 50 percent.

-Responding to Contribution Points, Contribution Points are increased by 0.17.

- You have successfully defeated the 'Demonic Dimension’!

- Kill contribution: 50 percent.

- Contribution Points are increased by 0.21 in proportion to Contribution Points.

…… (Shorthand) ……

Hun saw the contribution points piling up in the system window, and he became unhappy.

Normal monsters give only decimal points of Contribution.

If you accumulate it and pity it, you will come together as a significant enough Contribution Point.

“Hehe, it's so easy to play Hidden Quest! At this rate, we'll accumulate 3,000 Contribution Points before the portal closes today. ”

3,000 Contribution Points are, in fact, enormous.

It was because Ian needed exactly 3,000 Contribution Points to advance from a fighter to a Elite Soldier.

Of course, to advance from Elite Soldier to Soldier, Hun did not worry about that, although he needed an extra immense level of Contribution Points of 100,000.

I don't know how long this Fortress Association Quest will last.

The more days pass, the more powerful Epic Monsters you will face, and the more Contribution Points you will be able to drop for sure.

‘Tomorrow, the total of 10,000 Contribution Points will be penetrated.... ’

Hun began to think happily with a real smile.

‘If I stay by Ian's side like this, I could be the first promotion of the warrior class...! ’

It was only a matter of time before we knew it was going to happen.

At least now, Hun's face felt like he had the whole world.

Still ranked # 1 in Contribution Points, though, belonged to Hoon.

It was so ‘world ranking’.

“Wheel, this should be enough for tonight, right? ”

What did you buy so much of? Harin had a bag of plastic in both hands.

Harin, who had been shopping at a local market, was returning home, humming his nostrils.

‘The truth hasn't come out of the capsule yet, has it? It looks like they're expanding their fort in the morning.... ’

Harin recently felt good.

Thanks to your hard level up at the guild party, you'll soon be able to enter the warrior village.

Harin's level is now in his early 430s.

Plus, you only need two more transcendent levels to reach level 10, so you're really close to entering a warrior village.

"If it's 12 o'clock, I'll take you out to dinner, take you to a local park, or take you for a walk. Seems like Jinsung's been a little hungry lately.... Maintaining your game skills requires you to take care of yourself. ’

Something's a lot weirder than dinner time.) Harin, who planned his time zone, climbed the elevator, humming his nose.

Lately, she has been acting like a manager of Jinsung.

Weeing.

Elevators quickly go up to the 25th floor, with a familiar sound of wire.

Choo-dong!

When the door of the elevator opened with a notification tone, Harin often walked out towards the hallway.

But after a while,

“ ……? ”

Harin, who met someone in the hallway, stood still with big eyes.

It was a one-story apartment with only two furniture, so I knew exactly who my neighbors were.

It's because the first man I saw opened the door next door.

Moreover, the appearance of the man was that of a Westerner with a heavy carry-on.

Even as soon as I met Harin, I was greeted by a foreigner!

“Oh, hello, Job! ”

In the Korean language that was quite fluent, Harin replied with a shaky expression.

“Oh, hello…? Are you moving into this house? ”

“Yep. I'll move my stuff in tomorrow. Please take good care of him! ”

“Th-that's a rush……. Anyway, it's good to see you. Take care of yourself! ”

Harin greeted without hesitation, and the stranger in question became even brighter.

After greeting Harin, she starts walking again with her head tilted.

“I didn't seem to want to move next door.... Why did you move all of a sudden? ”

But before Harin opened the door and went home,

Foreigners urgently opened their mouths to her.

“Oh, can I ask you a favor? ”

“Please?”

“Yep.”

“Tell me about it. Let's hear it. ”

Then, the man who was momentarily preoccupied opened his mouth one more word.

“Well, tell Ian Gad one thing. ”

“ ……? ”

“The game friend ‘Mark Oliver’ has moved into the house next door. ”

* * *

Loyal followers of Lotus (?), the successful negotiations with King Ian.

Ian was moving on Finn's back with a cheerful look on his face.

“Hehe, we have more than five hours before the portal closes…… Until then, we can complete three or four unique tier towers. ”

Ian put the terms of the contract on the guild members that were almost similar to Hun's expectations.

If there's anything a little bit different to what Hun expected, he's given the option to pay more and more minerals as he worked longer.

The longer they worked, the more efficient they were designed to be, so that not one in every seven people could leave until midnight.

“Khh, today's quest has been completed. ”

Ian mutters in a low voice and picks something up from his inventory.

It was a ‘lump of iron' that was large enough for Ian to hold up with his hands.

“I hope Tiber can solve this guy's secret.... ”

A big, silver-looking lump of iron.

But what was unusual was that the iron mass was filled with a gentle blue aura.

Heart of the Iron Swarm

Rank: Hero (transcendent)

Classification: General Goods

The heart of the 'Iron Swarm’, an Epic monster living in a dimensional forest.

The heart of the Iron Swarm, which grew up eating magic stones for a long time, possesses a powerful dimension of power.

This item is sealed.

(If the Refining is successful, the item will be unsealed.)

This item is attributed to the user ‘Ian’.

Not transferable to another user or available for sale, and will not be dropped even if the character dies.

Among the items obtained by defeating the Iron Swarm, there were two types of items that even Ian had never seen before.

The 'Heart of Iron Swarm’ item that Ian now holds in his hand, and the 'Mystic Magic Crystal' item that he keeps in his inventory.

Among them, the Magic Crystal of Mystery was able to figure out what to use for just reading the information window.

Just like the ‘Magical Agglomerates' that come out every time you defeated an Epic Monster, they were the materials you needed to build a higher grade tower.

We don't know what tower to build yet, but that's what we'll naturally find out over time.

However, despite a thorough reading of the information window, the heart of the Iron Swarm was unable to figure out exactly how to use the item.

It just has a powerful ‘dimension of power.' I didn't know any information, except for the fact.

"What the hell is this thing supposed to do? Is this also used to build towers...? ’

Of course, Ian has tried refining minerals many times, so even if he doesn't go to Tiber, he can refine it himself.

However, the reason Ian came to Tiber like this was because of the 'ratings' stated in the item information window.

It was a superhero (transcendent) item of unheard rank.

If I tried to smelt it and ruined it, I'd regret it.

And while Ian was thinking about it, Finn, who had set Ian on fire, arrived at the stronghold.
