Taming Master

The ‘Dimensional Snow' map was essentially a 'snowy plain’ as can be seen in the name of the map.

However, it was not like that if it was a vast plain that could see the horizon.

Snowy rocks appeared all over the plains, and steep snowflakes were among them.

‘The map is much wider than I expected. ’

I was so embarrassed when I first came here that I was afraid to meet my opponent's camp.

A 'dimensional snow' map with complex and wide terrain.

But by the time I had passed two snow-covered valleys,

Ian was finally able to meet some ‘beings’ in this desolate valley.

They almost mistakenly assumed Ian was a monster, with a "ghost" look on their face.

- I've never seen you before. What brings you to this cursed land?

- Oh, it's time for battle again. I didn't expect to see Elite Soldiers here.

- What's your name?

Welcome to Ian (?) Ghosts that talk with their faces.

Looking at them, Ian decided to ask some questions.

Maybe we can get some decent information.Maybe they know what Ian is looking for in Trafiel's Forge.

Ian began to speak as politely as he could.

“My name is Ian. ”

- Oh, Ian. That's a common name I've heard a lot about.

Killkill, I'm sure our platoon had a friend named Ian.

What's so funny, ghosts giggling and laughing?

Towards them, Ian opens his mouth carefully.

“Do you guys... mind if I ask you a few questions? ”

And when Ian asked, the ghosts were very welcome.

- Oh, sure.

- Sure, go ahead.

First, Ian decided to find out who they were.

I had a rough idea, but I had to be precise before I could determine the width of my faith.

“You said to me, 'My lord'... Are you the warriors of the Heavenly Military camp? ”

And when Ian asked, the ghosts became very happy faces.

I liked Ian's words, "The Brave One."

- Haha, thank you for calling us warriors. Actually, we're elite soldiers like you.

- Huhu, we're all elite soldiers who will become warriors.

“What do you mean, you almost became a warrior? ”

In Ian's argument, the ghost at the front asked with a curious look.

- You're here to be a warrior, aren't you?

“Yes...? ”

- You came here to slaughter the horsemen in the snow, earn Contribution Points and become a warrior.

“Aha, that's what you meant. Of course you are. You should cut the heads off of the horsemen and become a warrior. ”

And in the words of the ghost, Ian began to understand one or two of these situations.

‘Aha, these ghosts were elite soldiers from the Heavenly Army, and they must have died fighting in this snow and drifted to ghosts. ’

Of course, these ghosts are NPCs and Ian is a user.

That's why Ian was able to see the concept of these ghosts here.

‘I guess they're supposed to wait here and help the heavenly army users fight back. ’

Perhaps these ghosts were not directly involved in the battle.

Above the heads of these ghosts, there was no gauge of life for anyone.

But even so, they seemed very useful to Ian.

As long as you do your job well, you'll have many roles to play starting with scouting.

After understanding the situation, Ian began asking for the necessary information.

“By the way, guys, can I ask you a few questions? ”

If you have any questions, you're welcome to ask.

“Yes, then I will refuse to ask. Do you, by any chance, know anything about a blacksmith named Trafiel? ”

And as Ian's question fell, the ghosts became incredibly surprised.

It seemed to be precisely because of the name 'Trafiel’.

- Oh...? How do you know him?

- I wouldn't know if it was Trafiel. He's the hero of our heavenly army faction.

- If you don't know Trafiel, the legendary commander, you can call him an informer, not a heavenly host.

With the ghosts' reactions, Ian's expression became noticeably brighter.

If you knew Trafiel, you'd have a better chance of finding his forge.

“Then, do you know where the Forge used to be?" ”

One of the ghosts asked if Ian's question was a bit curious.

- Well, I can help you find it... Why do you want to know?

Ian was momentarily blocked by a ghost question.

‘What should I say...? ’

But in the end, these NPCs were all part of the heavenly army.

That's why Ian decided it was okay to tell him the truth.

Ian's mouth reopened.

“I want to create a Legendary Weapon…… ”

- ……!

- Legendary... weapon?!

“You know Trafiel, don't you? You know Prix's Sword, too?" ”

In Ian's words, the ghosts nodded and replied.

- Of course I do.

- Prix's sword... Khh, I'm reminded of Prix's bravery.

“We need the design blueprint for that ‘Prix's Sword’. Maybe it's at the forge where Trafiel worked. ”

The ghosts now seem to understand what Ian needs.

Because they were so simple and expressive.

And the ghosts, before answering Ian, began grumbling amongst themselves.

‘They……. What are they talking about? ’

Ian raises his ears because he is curious about the conversations the ghosts are having, but he hears only loud noises.

It certainly wasn't small, but it seemed that the conversations between the ghosts were not set to be heard.

‘But saying something like that. You know where the blueprints are? ’

And while Ian's thinking about things, the meeting...), the ghosts floated back in front of Ian.

The ghost at the front then opens his mouth to Ian.

- You need a blueprint for Prix's sword, right?

Ian immediately nodded and replied.

“That's right.”

- First of all, we can find the blueprints.

“ ……! ”

- If you struggle for a day and a half, you'll find enough.

“Thank you……! ”

At the word of the ghost, Ian feels better.

I thought it would be hard to find a blueprint because the snow map is much wider than I expected.

I'm sober now.

But the stories of the ghosts, they didn't end there.

- But there's one condition.

Ian folds his head.

I never thought I'd get you a design design without any conditions.

“Tell me. I'll carry whatever I can carry. ”

And Ian replied, this time the ghosts hesitated for a moment.

"What the hell are you talking about? ’

After a while, Ian's two eyes were slightly enlarged, hearing the conditions of the ghosts.

- Prix is a legendary warrior in our heavenly army.

“I know. ”

- The reason he was able to wield the legendary sword was because his bravery was so great.

“ ……? ”

- Prove your valor. If you go to the Horse Camp to the east of Snow and bring back more than ten horsemen...... I will acknowledge your bravery.

And as soon as the ghost's words were over, a new system message rang out before Ian's eyes.

Tiring!

- Prove your valor! ’Quest is triggered.

Prove your valor! (Hidden/Epic) ’

You want to make a Legendary Weapon, you need a blueprint for the Legendary Weapon, Prix's Sword.

And the "Ghosts of Heavenly Military Elite Soldiers" I met in the snow of Dimension, it seems we can find this blueprint.

But these ghosts won't be able to find the blueprints until they see your courage.

I need to see if I'm worthy of the legendary weapon.

The ghosts have offered you proof of valor.

If you defeat the 'Horse Elite Soldiers’ with your own power and return, you will be able to prove your worth to them.

Go to ‘Horse Camp’ to the southeast of Snow and ambush the Horse Scouts.

If you return after defeating ten horsemen, the ghosts will gladly give you the blueprints.

The content of the quest was not difficult.

If you kill more than ten Elite Soldiers from the Horse Army and come back, that's it.

But what caught Ian's eye was a tremendous amount of triple-A quest difficulty.

‘I've never seen such difficulty in the middle.... ’

Even the condition of not being able to party made me able to guess how difficult it was.

It is a tremendous difficulty that makes you drowsy.

Gulp.

And just as they proved that difficulty, ghosts added a few words to Ian.

- But, Ian, don't overdo it.

“ ……? ”

- Not everyone deserves a legendary weapon.

- In fact, we hardly expect you to succeed in this mission.

- Breaking into a horse camp alone is suicide.

Seeing the ghosts speaking in front of each other, Ian felt even more comforted.

‘Even if it's marked as impossible on difficulty, I'm going to challenge you, and all you can do with Triple-A is make a fuss. ’

Ian smiles and opens his mouth to the ghosts again.

He started speaking with a word.

“If you're worried about me...... find a blueprint while I'm gone, guys. ”

- Hmm……?

“I'll be there in a minute, and I'll blow up exactly ten craters. ”

- Chipmunks...? What the hell is that?

Whether the ghosts roar or not, Ian clears out the chandelier and turns around.

Perhaps because you received a quest, the Mini Map suddenly recalls an arrow informing you of the location of the Horseman's camp.
