Taming Master

* * *

A small, shimmering swarm of light fills the room, reminiscent of the massive swarms of fireflies.

Then they flew to their respective positions and settled, otherwise they began to illuminate the brighter space.

Ooooo -

And the swarms of light that looked like little blobs of light went to their places and changed into different shapes.

Fath-!

As Ian's group watches it, it blows in amazement.

“Wow…! ”

- These are relics of the Holy Spirit.

Towards them, the manager opened his mouth again.

- Haha, how are you? Everyone looks surprised.

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

“Yes, it's amazing. All this stuff is ancient artifacts, right? ”

A vast array of ancient, transcendent technologies.

Ian's eyes sparkled.

Even if it wasn't an ambassador from a proud manager, he could have guessed the value of the items in front of him.

Of course, the item's rating or name was not exposed in the message box.

It was just items with such visuals that would make the appearance spill.

‘You won't be able to have all of these artifacts...... What's going to happen now? ’

Ian, who had an interesting expression, opened his mouth again to the manager.

“Manager.”

- Speak, challenger.

“Which of these artifacts can I have?" ”

- Hehe, I can't wait.

Ian nodded and replied without hiding.

“Of course. With all these wonderful things in front of me, who could be so careless?" ”

- That's right, that's right. It's good to be honest.

The manager nods again.

- You are registered in the "Hall of the Ancient Spirit."

“ ……. ”

- You have every right to have any of these artifacts.

“…… Is that true? ”

- However…….

A few moments later, the manager smiles and opens his mouth again.

- You can't have all these artifacts.

“ ……? ”

Ian was momentarily baffled by the manager's line of questioning.

However, the embarrassment was brief, and Ian quickly realized what the manager meant.

You're saying we have to choose between these artifacts, right? Why do you make it so complicated? ’

Manager's Fishing (?), and Ian grumbles inside.

But his story did not end there.

- You went through the gates to get here, didn't you?

“I did.”

- And maybe at those gates, you got the Light of the Holy Spirit item.

“That's right.”

- I don't know how many of the Holy Spirit's lights you have left, but those are the items you need to have these artifacts.

“Is this the same thing... as goods? ”

- Well, it's okay to think so.

According to the manager, Ian's eyes again widened.

With the light of the Holy Spirit, there must be more than fifty. ’

I used three to enter here, but there were still fifty left.

I didn't know how many days the exchange rate with the artifact was, but something smelled amazing.

And Ian's ‘feeling’ could change to confidence due to the manager's next line of dialogue.

- Perhaps if you passed all the gates fairly without using the bylaws here, you would still have at least three lights of the Holy Spirit left. Isn't that right?

Ian barely tolerates the smile of leaking out, nodding his head.

“Yes, I definitely have more than three. ”

And the unknown manager, Ian, smiled favorably and said one last thing.

- That should get you a decent grade artifact. I hope you can get a good artifact.

Ian, who is in the wind, nods and starts walking.

“Thank you, Manager. ”

Ian's gaze is fixed elsewhere while answering to his manager.

His interest is already embedded in the artifacts.

Due to the intensity of Nogada until recently, Lotus' intermediate Node was always filled with guild members with angry expressions.

However, for some reason, the Lotus Guild Node is very quiet today.

Only the guild masters Hers and Bugilmein Fioran stood guard. Except for the NPC mercenaries hired by the guild, there was no shadow of even a user.

And today Lotus is at peace.) because the guild has been empty for a long time.

A guild plan that seemed to be filled up to 365 days a year.

Yesterday, today. Two days of rainy colostrum (?).

Of course, the reason for that is Hers' consideration for the guild members who have suffered (?), but there was still a big reason.

The next plan of the Lotus Guild was a difficult guild quest to complete with the completed Courage Legion, because Ian was still out of touch when all the conditions for completing the Knights were met.

Of course, it was possible to roll guild members along with other quests, but Hers and Fioran were ignorant (?).

After Ian returns, the guild members will survive in an open force (?) I thought I needed to rest for a few days.

‘Surely if Jinsung sees the list of guild quests, he will try to finish the Class S quest very quickly. We need to stockpile up before then. ’

However, since we couldn't leave the Guild Node empty at all, Hers and Fioran were left at the Node.

The two of them sat across from each other in the Node Conference Room and talked about it.

“Hers. ”

“Go ahead.”

“Maybe I should push you away from the guild for a while? ”

“I think so, but I've been focusing a lot on this budget this month. ”

“How would you rate your Knight Equipment? ”

“Well, I don't know. With more than the minimum hero rating, I think we should have all of them. ”

“My budget is going to break. ”

“I can't help it. In the future, the Courage Division will continue to penetrate the top content, and that investment won't be a waste. ”

After Ian returned, the courage division was completed.

Hers and Fioran take their content plans seriously.

But even while Hers is making a plan, one ominous thing (?) I couldn't stop thinking about it.

‘Even if I plan hard like this, everything will be meaningless when the truth comes.... ’

From the way we've been walking so far,

After a few days of disconnection, Ian always appears with more than he can imagine.

With Ian's face in his head, Herce shakes his head unwittingly.

* * *

“Hehe, this is heaven! ”

After speaking with the manager, Ian was wandering around the ruins, checking each of the listed artifacts.

Unfortunately, you couldn't see the specific equipment's capabilities until you made your choice, but it seemed like you would have to look through all the items once.

Above all, Ian was tapping the calculation into his mind to use the light of the Holy Spirit as the best efficiency.

- Protective Helmet of the Holy Spirit

Classification: Helmet

Rating:???

An ancient device made by the Holy Spirit.

This equipment contains a powerful power, but you cannot confirm its power until you receive the power of the Holy Spirit.

* Options

??? (transcends)

??? (transcends)

??? (transcends)

* Unique Ability

???

* The item must be unsealed in order to receive the item.

There are two "lights of the Holy Spirit" required to break the seal.

(Once you have unsealed, you cannot retrieve the light of the Holy Spirit used.)

The data Ian can see in the sealed information window is the number of lights of the Holy Spirit required to obtain the artifact and the number of options the item has.

Ian was rolling around as hard as he could with this information.

Of course, the manager who was watching him from afar, is still misunderstanding.

"Hehe. The three lights of the Holy Spirit won't be able to take more than one artifact, so it must take some time to choose." ’

A manager who judged Ian was looking through the artifacts carefully in order to pick out the best ones.

Perhaps if he had known the truth, his face would have become paler by now.

After all, apart from the misconception of such a manager, Ian was deeply troubled.

‘How can I use the Holy Spirit's light as efficiently as possible? ’

And unlike the manager, there was another person watching Ian like that with anxious eyes.

- Ian, you didn't forget my request, did you?

“Of course. Don't worry. ”

- The artifacts will be coveted, of course, but I still need to use one of the lights of the Holy Spirit for me.

Her identity is the mirrors sitting on Ian's shoulders.

Artifacts that can be freed from the suffering of the postponement were also obtainable only by using the light of the Spirit, so Ian had no choice but to be anxious about how many lights of the Spirit he had.

If Ian didn't actually have enough light of the Holy Spirit, he would have abandoned the quest and chosen the artifact.

“Heave-ho! Just check the ruins over here, and we're done?" ”

About 20 minutes later.

Ian was able to check every window of information on over a hundred ruins.

And after checking all the ruins, it didn't take much time to make a surprising choice.

‘Yes, I think I've checked the freeze. If we pick up the artifact as we thought, we'll be able to use exactly 50 of them. ’

Ian then took another step back to the manager, putting his mind to work.

“Manager.”

- Oh, did you see all the artifacts?

“Yes, I just saw it. ”

Did you decide which artifact to pick?

“Yep.”

- I'm sure you picked it carefully. Once you select it, there's no going back.

“Of course.”

In the manager's last description, Ian answered with a pleasant answer.

Towards him, the manager smiles softly and opens his mouth again.

- Well, then, take your pick. Put the light of the Holy Spirit on the disc in front of the artifact you want.

“Yep!"

Ian starts to take a big step, and the manager, NPC, smiles and looks behind him.

However, it did not take long for the manager's face, which was a consistently loving face, to become firm.

- Okay, hold on. Why are you going that way?

“Yes?”

- The artifacts over there need at least five of the Holy Spirit's light.

“I know. ”

- I beg your pardon?

Ian's first choice was the most expensive artifact in the ruins (?) It was him.
