Taming Master

obtained by Ian passing Netra's test.

It was a 'qualification’ in a word.

Qualification to express the ‘power’ of each attribute, using the source of fire and the source of wind.

That is why the two attributes that were placed on the altar began to be expressed by Ian's will.

- The conditions are met.

- The power of fire is revealed.

- Trigger a "summon" to all spirit factions based on the "fire" attribute.

- The summons expressed by the power of the source cannot be disobeyed.

- All Fire Nations respond to the call.

- The conditions are met.

- Wind power manifests.

- Trigger a "summon" to all spirit factions based on the "wind" attribute.

- The summons expressed by the power of the source cannot be disobeyed.

- All wind factions respond to the call.

…… shorthand…….

Ian looked at the system messages that popped up in front of his eyes and became a happy face.

A little different (?) It was a method quest, but thanks to it, I saved a lot of time.

‘The Altar's test ended sooner than I thought, so it should be less burdensome to go looking for the Water Tribe. ’

Then Ian hears Netra's voice again, checking his messages and organizing his thoughts.

- Ian, Viceroy of the Spirit King.

“Go ahead, Netra. ”

- If you have an upright personality, you can certainly save this spirit system from crisis.

Ian smiled and replied, hearing Netra's favorable voice, which was clearly different from the previous one.

“Netra can help, too. ”

- It's overtime…….

“Oh, no. ”

- Hmm?

“If I solve the spiritual crisis, won't the spiritual complaint be reduced by less than half? ”

- Ahhh...!

“It's more about investing in the future than overtime. ”

- Hmm…… You might think so.

After a short conversation, a system message alerted me to the end of the quest and the occurrence of the matching quest.

- Tyring!

- You have successfully completed the 'Trowell's Support Request (Epic) (Association)' Quest!

-Respondence (transcendence) increases by 100,000!

- The quest 'Search for Water (Epic) (Association)’ has occurred.

And Ian quickly reads the message back to Netra.

“We know Netra cannot exert any direct influence. ”

- Yes, it is.

“But can you help me find the ‘lack of water’? ”

Ian had already known how the quest was going to unfold, so he was wondering from the beginning if Netra had anything else to pick from.

- Hmm…….

Ian begins to metallurgically grind Netra, who is slightly troubled.

“If you can give me the location of the tribes, I'll take care of the rest. ”

- ……!

“Wouldn't it be worth investing in a comfortable working environment in the future? ”

Ian offers you the symbol of a thief who wants to eat a matching quest almost every day!

And Ian's proposal only worked half the time.

- All right, Ian.

“ ……! ”

- Well, let me help you with something.

“Thank you……! ”

- However, it is impossible to give you the location of the tribes.

“Oh, you don't know either, Netra? ”

There's very little I don't know about this spirit system.

“Then…? ”

-Just that no god can divulge their personal information without consent.

“ ……. ”

Netra stares at Ian, who looks slightly embarrassed, and says again.

- Instead, I'll give you one of my little compasses.

“A compass...? ”

In Ian's eyes, a new system message came to mind.

- Tyring!

- You received the 'Water Compass (Legendary) (Superior)’ item.

At about the same time, a small, old compass appeared in front of Ian's eyes.

Ian picks it up carefully, and Netra says it again.

- I'm just giving you a gift that I don't need.

“ ……! ”

- It would be your freedom to use it to find the water tribes.

Ian quickly examines the information in the compass, hearing Netra's words.

Compass of Water

- Classification: General Goods

-Grade: Legend (transcendent)

- An old compass with pure water power. It is said to point to the purest water power, but its exact purpose is unknown. You cannot use the compass if you do not possess the power of the Spirit.

* Items that can only be used when searching for a specific quest - water (Epic) (Association) is in progress.

* The item's abilities will disappear at the end of the quest.

Ian then glances at both eyes, bowing his head toward Netra.

“Thank you so much, Netra! I think this will help a lot. ”

Of course, it would be a shame to photograph the coordinates of the tribes at all.

Even so, the presence of this compass will reduce the time needed for the quest by less than half.

But Netra's greatest gift was not this compass.

- You're welcome, Ian. May blessings be upon your path...

- Tyring!

A white glow appeared around Netra saying good-bye and began to envelop Ian.

- You have attained some or more Amity with the Spirit God ‘Netra'.

- The conditions are met.

- Blessed by the Spirit God, Netra.

-God's Blessing, ‘Netra's Blessing’ lasts for 10 days.

-All summoned Spirit levels are doubled in all kinds of battles, as long as the effect of 'Blessing’ continues. (Except for Spirit Increase through Miscellaneous Items)

-As long as the ‘Blessing’ effect continues, the Magical Power consumption from Spirit and Necromancy is reduced by half.

-As long as the ‘Blessing’ effect lasts, ‘Aesthetics’ skill level is increased 1.5 times faster.

…… shorthand…….

God's blessing that Ian has never experienced since the Great War.

Netra gave it to Ian.

Even Magrifa was the most necessary buff at this point in time to evolve into the Spirit King.

‘Khh...! Crazy!'

Ian, moved by Netra's gift, wants to thank you again.

However, Netra's new brother had already disappeared into a white swarm, so we had to postpone the greeting.

‘Goddess of Guaro...... She was much better than I expected, right? ’

Ian felt more satisfied and immediately pulled out the compass.

Then the compass that Ian touched began to point somewhere.

Whoo-hoo!

Ian starts to move quickly, without delay, toward the direction the compass is pointing.

* * *

Ian's new matching quest was finally on the line for Trowell's ‘Request for Support’ quest.

If we summon the tribes of fire and wind with power, we summon the tribes of water in a direct manner.

The content of the quest was very simple.

Three water shortages somewhere in Bitterstella.

If we find them and convey Trowell's will and accept the summons, that's it.

Just that the content is simple, the difficulty of the quest, and the amount of time it takes to clear.

The problem was that these three elements were not always precisely proportional.

It took Ian more than six hours to find the first water tribe.

“Wow, really... what would you have done without a compass? ”

“Are you sure about that?" ”

Ian nodded, answering many questions next to him.

“I'm sure this time. If it's not here, there's nowhere else to look. ”

Ian's group arrives in the Shaia Mountains at the northernmost tip of Bitterstella.

And in the mountains in the north, it was the most northerly uncharted region, where Ian had never even been.

‘It must be in that valley. After this rock canyon...! ’

The compass of water received from Netra is always normal (?), but the compass was not universal.

After all, the place where the water compass was pointed was where the most powerful water power was felt, because there was no law called 'lack of water.’

A powerful monster with water attributes, or a vein filled with rough stones of water.

There were too many variables in the object called the 'force of water’.

‘But the direction itself can't be wrong. After all, the strong bodies of water are gathered in similar positions. ’

Ian looks back at his experience and nods slowly.

Starting with the cradle of the earth, they assumed that all the tribes of the earth were gathered around the cradle of the earth, and so were other attributes.

On top of that, if you think about the fact that the item Netra gave him to help Ian is a compass of water, Ian thinks he can't be wrong.

‘Unless Netra was trying to screw me over. ’

However, Ian's conviction was shaken after a while.

“ ……? ”

In the final position where I thought I had arrived after removing all the variables, I saw nothing other than the 'lack of water’ that I expected.

“Hmph! What's this, master! I think it's just ice sheets in here! ”

As I turned around the valley, there was only a lake frozen like the frozen lake that spread out in front of my eyes.

What is it? Is the compass malfunctioning? ’

Ian's pupils were beginning to twitch.

Until now, the space in front of my eyes has been truly shocking, considering what had happened every time I followed the compass.

What's even more disturbing is that the needle in the compass of water began to spin and spin.

“Is it broken? ”

Ian is embarrassed and looking at the compass, and there are many who sit with a grumpy look next to him.

“It's freezing. Can't we just go back?" ”

“Shut up, man. Can't you see I'm serious right now? ”

But the situation did not end there.

It was at that time when Ian and a lot of people were messing around.

I felt something cool and fierce about Ian.

“ ……! ”

So Ian lowered almost reflexively and sat on the ice sheet, and then over Ian's head, an arrow holding a seething chill quickly passed by.

You little...!

A mysterious projectile made of ice, slightly thicker and larger than an arrow.

“ ……! ”

However, despite being ambushed, Ian's expression lit up.

I knew it! I knew it! ’

I had a hunch that the mysterious creature that sent the arrow at him was definitely out of water.

However, Ian's guess was only half right.

- You're funny. Are you a remnant of the Acus family, too?

“ ……? ”

The creature who sent the bow to Ian was not a lack of water, even though there was a ‘connection’ with the lack of water.
