Taming Master

* * *

As Ian predicted, Aren, an Elf, had quite a bit of information about the Chatra clan called the 'High Elves of the Forest’.

A little gross due to personality (?) There were many stories.

“Wow, Joo-gun. How do you know the Chatrays? ”

“Trowell's servants tipped me off. ”

“Trowell... … Spirit King of the Earth? ”

“Yes."

“Huh, have you met the Spirit King of the Earth? ”

“That's not it. But I took a mission from him. ”

“Ooh, wow! ”

“As soon as the mission is complete, I'll take you to Trowell. ”

“Really?"

“Yes. So hurry up and find the Chatrays. ”

“That's ……! Leave it to me!"

According to the story of Arene, the Chatrays lived in the Horn Mountains of the four Bitterstella Mountains.

The southernmost point of the Horn Mountains, to be exact.

The southern part of the Horn Mountains was the trail leading to the outskirts of Bitterstella's territory, at the same time forming a low elevation basin.

The peculiarity is the formation of very subtle forests in the low basins.

‘Elf of the Forest, there is a place where you can fit in. ’

As Ian's group heads up the arena, they head straight for the destination.

You little...!

The destination was in the southern hemisphere, even in the diamond-shaped Bitterstella, so Ian's group was able to get there quickly.

And of course, seeing the great vehicles of Iron and Illusion, it was also a fact.

- Why do you keep calling me, master?

“I have another complaint. ”

- Why do you always use me as a ride summoner?

“You're the biggest obstacle. ”

- ……?

“Your back plate is the widest. ”

- Ugh...!

Ian gets down to his destination and looks around, leaving quite a dissatisfied expression behind.

Ian's only interest was in the quest.

“So, Arlene, there's a Chateau nearby? ”

“Yes, you're probably right, Joo. ”

Ian immediately opened the map and checked the location information.

Either Horn Beacon or any other peak, most of Bitterstella was already encroached by Ian, so if you open the map and check the map, it should be easier to find a spot.

‘Hmm, you look familiar here. ’

Ian, who moved to the highest altitude in the region, looked around and looked at the forest topography.

Then he tilts his head and mutters in a small voice.

“It's a familiar neighborhood, but I don't really remember why. ”

Ian bends his elongated head, wondering what terrain is ripe for the snow in this lush forest, like there.

Ian opens his mouth to Aren again, with all the surrounding terrain in his sights.

“Arlene, have you never been there? ”

“In the Chateau district? ”

“Yes, there. ”

“I remember going there a long time ago, but it was meaningless. ”

“Don't you remember? ”

“No, I don't think so…… The Chatrays relocate once a year to the strongest part of the forest. ”

“Oh, really? ”

“If you go to a place with a lot of Spirit Water, you'll find the Chatra. ”

At the end of Arene's words, a concise system message began to emerge before Ian's eyes.

- Tyring!

- The conditions are met.

- The quest ‘Find the Chatrays' (Epic) (Association) 'has been triggered.

At the same time, I thought of the related quest window.

- To find the Chateau compound.

You learn about the High Elves of the Forest from the Elves and arrive safely near their long-standing residence.

And according to the information obtained, the Chatrays will be in the strongest of the forest.

Based on the distribution of Spirit Water (Spirit Tree) that grows in strong places in the forest, look for the Shattra Clan.

We will need to find it one step faster than the invaders of a machine civilization seeking the power of the earth.

Quest Difficulty: B +

Quest conditions: The party must contain a Class User with a level 80 (transcendent) or higher who has learned Necromancy.

The party must contain one of the following recognized users: ‘Lava’, ‘Corkscrew’, or ‘Ice Spirit’.

(‘Chatra Annex Watershed’ Quest)

Reward: 20,000 Reputation

Amity with the ‘Shakra’ Tribe +10

Looking at the open quest window, Ian's pupils began to enlarge.

“ ……! ”

When I read the quest, I realized why this area feels so familiar.

By the way, right here, right near the crack? ’

Of course, the location of the crack is outside Bitterstella.

However, the area where the quest took place was also just outside Bitterstella, where a little south along the canyon leads to the entrance of the crack that leads to the machine civilization.

"If I do this, I'm going to draw something. ’

Ian's mouth reminded me of the development of the quest in his mind, and he smiled maliciously.

"An army of machine civilizations would have to come through a rift..." ’

Ian's gaze again slightly backwards from the quest window.

And where his eyes were fixed... ….

* Time until the invaders of the machine civilization arrive

-01: 39: 51

(Estimated time, remaining time may vary by certain variables.)

The additional information phase at the bottom of the quest window.

‘If the remaining time can be changed by a variable, you can create that variable, right? ’

Quests don't always have to be planned.

‘It's a bit of a gambler……. ’

Ian activates his brain and starts planning as rigorously as possible.

* * *

Ian's faithful heirs, number one and two, Kaiser and Helim.

After receiving the Lord's call for a long time, the two pretenders were on their way to a complex face.

“What's happening all of a sudden, Helheim? ”

“I don't know. It's been a long time since you paged me.... ”

The reason their expressions were complicated was simple.

It meant something to Ian, who summoned the two wives.

- Helheim, Kaiser, move to the coordinates you sent us.

- I have my orders, Your Majesty!

- What's going on, Joo?

- It's been a long time since I've had a fight. Prove to me how much you've grown.

- ……!

- If he can't do it himself, he's ready to start training in hell with me.

However, despite hearing Ian's almost intimidating dialogue, the two pretenders were not just as anxious.

I have great expectations that a large battle will take place in a long time.

I've been too bored because I've been hunting ordinary field monsters.

Of course, the battle was more than necessary (?) It may be long, but it is because of their thoughtful expressions.

“I hope you have a lot of smashing.... ”

Sawing Kazar touching the swordsman with a frowning look, Helheim said a word.

“I don't think you need to worry about that. ”

“Huh, is that so? ”

“If His Majesty should summon both of us, he will surely fight against powerful enemies. ”

Kaisar nods at the Ambassador of Helheim.

Ian and I spent a long time together, knowing that he was strong.

Riding on each of the mangroves and fins, the two halflings sprint through the Spirit Mountain.

Shortly after arriving at the destination, the two mugs smiled brightly after discovering their happy faces.

“Hey, Lugaryx, it's been a long time. ”

“There's Carseus, there's Lai, there's everybody. ”

All of Ian's summoners who had been scattered throughout the Spirit Realm had gathered in one place for a long time.

* * *

By this time, you could have anticipated it, but Ian's plan was very simple and ignorant.

As was the original quest intention, Ian wanted to change the battlefield to somewhere else, first searching for the Chatraelites and then stopping the aggression of mechanical civilization with the Elves.

To give up the powerful reinforcements of the High Elves of the forest and to fight the great army of machine civilizations alone, giving up the benefits of the Water Temple.

Then, what kind of benefit is Ian trying to achieve?

The answer to that was in a special battlefield called "Cracks."

Since the crack was the battlefield in Ian's favor enough to give up all these benefits.

‘If you use the buff of cracks and successfully ambush them at an unexpected time, it will be worth fighting for without the support of the Elves. ’

Of course, it is impossible to predict how many machine civilization armies there will be.

However, the terrain of the crack was not that wide, and he decided that any number could be prevented by the use of this narrow terrain characteristic for a powerful buffer.

‘And if it's what I think it is, we'll be able to farm a tremendous amount of experience. ’

NPCs say they take a little more experience than users, but the difference between dominance and distribution is enormous.

The bigger the battle, the more so.

However, it was not that there were no variables, so Ian kept the safety measures in place.

‘I've already located the Elven compound. If you don't like it, you'll have to retreat quickly. ’

Having a thorough insurance policy in place to trigger Fioran's mass teleport at any time.

So Ian felt excited for a long time.

Somehow, this battle has become one of the most exciting and intense battles of all time.
