Taming Master

* * *

The first quest created after hearing the story of the postponer, the 'Ancient Spirit's Precedent Ⅰ’ quest.

With the forced completion of the quest, Ian could not know the specifics of the quest, but he would have been more pleased if he had known it.

This was one of Ian's most hated quests, simply ‘Gathering’ and 'Exploration’ quests.

It was a quest to collect various materials needed to awaken the Spirit Summoning Stone of Charta.

The conditions for completing the quest window were simply "Life Crystal," but the materials needed to make a single crystal were truly terrible.

If he had received this quest, Ian would have had to go out and come back in, so it was really a divine move to complete the quest.

Of course, even though Ian was not aware of these facts, he had no complaints about completing the quest.

‘It's a shame that Charta's Summoning Stone reward was deleted, but the reward for the next matching quest was enhanced instead……. ’

If Ian understands correctly, it will probably enhance the ranking of items you receive as a Clear Reward.

If legendary grade equipment had been rewarded, it would have been replaced with mythological grade, so this would have been a massive merit.

After all, I was forced to complete the quest without even knowing it (?) Ian calmly began to read the information pane of the second quest.

And as I read the quest window, Ian's eyes began to sparkle with interest.

- Ancient Spirit Delta II (Hidden) (Epic)

You may not be able to handle it yet, but you have the key to accessing the ruins of the Holy Spirit.

* Decline or give up, decreases Amity with Delay.

"An Ancient Spirit Grimoire..." I'm looking forward to a reward. ’

The wizard differs from other standard items, although it was ranked as a hero.

Since the classification of the Grimoire itself was more rare than the equipment item, there is enough merit if you have attained the "Ancient" formula to the level of the hero.

And after reading the quest window again, Ian slowly nodded his head.

The quest contents were quite long, but the conclusion was simple.

You have to follow the postponement and find the ruins of the Holy Spirit, and you have to know how to handle Charta in the process.

- There must be a Holy Spirit Crystal inside the Ruins.

“What's that? ”

- Magical crystals that can fuse my unstable tangled forces into one.

“Aha.”

- Help me get to the crystal, Ian. Well, I won't force you to say no. You've done me a great favor just by saving me from the ice.

The postponer asked me with a very sorry expression, but in Ian's view, I had no reason to refuse.

That's what quests are for.

“Okay, delay. Let me help you.”

- Are you sure?

“Absolutely. ”

- It's never easy, Ian. We haven't been able to find any of the Pafmas that have been so holy.

“I don't think it's gonna be easy. It was hard enough getting in here. ”

- Maybe you're in danger.

“Dangerous... ”

- Perhaps the Guardians of the Ancients are guarding it.

The postponer spoke with a worried expression several times, but Ian couldn't be more proud of it.

I've never challenged Ian because he was difficult or dangerous, not once in his history.

“I'm confident, so just show me the way. The Ancient Guardian, if you beat him, will eventually break. ”

“ ……. ”

In Ian's answer, I looked down and slowly flew up into the sky.

And seeing her like that, Ian asked again with a curious look on his face.

“What are you doing? ”

- You asked me to find a way.

“Huh...? ”

The postponement, which answered Ian's question briefly, began to grind a small mouth with both hands together.

I can't even hear it because it's so small. It mutters alien language that I have no idea what it means.

“ ……? ”

Ian stared at the postponement with suspicious eyes, but his expression soon changed.

Goo-go-oo-o!

Around the Delta, which was slowly starting to glow, an enormous storm started to erupt.

“What... are you doing? ”

Ian looks up at the postponement, holding back the wind, raising his right arm.

And after a while.

Kuaa-!

Along with a devastating noise, a sudden storm of aggregation around the anvil begins to pour down toward the lake in the valley.

Shhhhhhhhhhh!

It may seem obvious, but the calm sleep of the lake shook like a raging wave, and the powerful energy from the tiny hand of the mill produced a great whirlpool in the lake.

Kuaaa - Shoot -!

And seeing that scene, Ian had to look surprised.

‘No matter how NPC, this ridiculous magic...! ’

As Ian did not know what kind of power or coefficient would become, he was horrified to imagine that he was dealing with the magic that he was using now.

But apart from Ian's astonishment, the magic of the postponement did not stop.

It was like I was going to turn the whole lake into a huge vortex that would swallow it up.

“What the...! ”

After a while.

Ian finally began to realize what he was going to do.

The swirl created in the lake was digging deeper into the water and was making a path, and he froze the lake in its shape to create an ice mass that felt like an "underground tunnel."

“Could... there be a ruin at the bottom of the lake? ”

Ian opens his mouth in a murmuring voice, but a postponed nod comes down slowly in front of Ian.

- That's right, Ian. I'm not sure, but I can definitely feel the Holy Spirit down there.

“Ha……. ”

As Ian approaches the lake, he loses his horse to the supernatural sights created by the little elf.

Of course, the whole lake wasn't frozen, but I never imagined that there would be magic that could make a giant ice tunnel like this in an instant.

‘If Fioran had been here, he would have put up a plea bargain with Delu to accept him as a disciple. ’

Ian shakes his head and opens his mouth again to the postponement.

I have a question.

“But why were you stuck in the ice for so long with all this power? ”

Ian seems to think the magic of the postponement is as powerful as the magic of the messy dragon, so perhaps it's a reasonable question.

However, the postponed answer to Ian's question was too concise.

- It's simple.

“Hmm…? ”

- Like I said, I don't know if I can freeze it, but I can't melt it.

“ ……. ”

A postponed description that quickly makes sense, independent of simplicity.

- Well, come with me now. You chose the hard path, so don't blame me.

“Well, whatever. ”

The snooze flaps its tiny wings and leads the glacier cave (? Ian begins to step inside and slowly catches up behind her, disarming all summoners except Charta.

The enormous magical power of the little fairy, Ian, has yet to be amazed.

But apart from such surprises, Ian's expectations had to be even higher.

The reward for the quest is Ancient Spirit Magic, and the magical power that the postponer just showed was enormous. Of course, the expectation for the reward 'Ancient Spirit Grimoire’ has to suddenly rise.

‘Haha, there is a blaster with water attributes……. You can try using the Frost Faction Spirit magic. ’

Ian and his group make their way into a dark cave in a lighter pace.

And after a while.

When I met Ian, I met a familiar group of 'blue lights’.

- Tyring!

- The ruins of the Holy Spirit have been discovered, the first gate.

- Qualify to enter Gateway 1 of the Ancient Ruins.

A reflexive sigh emanates from Ian's mouth, checking his message.

"Phew, those creepy seals again? ’

But even then, there was no time for Ian to sigh.

The delay that flew next to Ian opened his mouth in an urgent voice.

- We have to get through here before the ice melts, Ian.

“Ice…… this ice cave you created? ”

- Yeah, this ice we're walking on.

“How long can you hold out? ”

- 10 minutes at the most...?

Afraid of the end of the delay, additional system messages were generated.

- Gateway timeout is set.

- Timeout: 599 seconds

-If you do not pass within the time limit, you will fail the quest 'Ancient Spirit Delay Ⅱ (Hidden) (Epic)' and you will not be able to enter the quest again.

After checking the message, Ian suddenly chewed the poop.

The difficulty was unknown, but the risk of failure was too strong.

Moreover, if you think about the difficulty you experienced when you first entered the valley of life, you think it can never be an easy gateway.

‘Damn……. I don't know how hard it is, but I'll give it a shot. ’

As a result, Ian, who was put on Charta's back until he postponed the Arene, unhesitantly jumped into the gate.

Blame-!

However, Ian, who had gone splendidly inside the gate, was embarrassed for a moment later.

"What is this? Is this the end? ’

Instead of spending the entire 10 minutes.

Even though it's only been three minutes, we've already reached the end of the gate.

- Wow, Ian. You're amazing.

“ ……? ”

- I've never seen an animist so good in hundreds of years.

“Huh? Yeah? ”

And so, from the beginning, the exploration of Ian's strange ruins began.
