Taming Master

* * *

When Ian first received a quest from Jonathan, he was speechless and unhappy (?) Reason.

Jonathan could never understand, but it was because of Jonathan's quest content, of course.

Hidden Epic Quest, named ‘Secret of Ancient Chronology’.

It was a quest that was also related to 'Ancient Spirit Elasticism’, which Ian had obtained clues about when he performed the 'Procrastination’ quest.

Once I felt that the word 'lexicography’ was in the title of the quest, there was even a clear mention of its relevance in the quest content.

The content was as follows:

…… Strategy……

In order not to be abandoned by the machine civilization, the Papma family studied "ancient plasticity" more deeply.

As a result, we were able to develop 'artifacts’ containing the power of nature by combining the spirits of the spirits, and we began desperately gathering related ancient books and clues.

…… approximate……

The Papmas stored all the clues that they collected all over the ‘Fortress of Darkness’, where their laboratory is.

Among them, data relating to the 'artifact’ was stored in the 'locker room of Luke.'

…… shorthand…….

The contents of the quest were not actually related to animosity.

He will, too, because of the quest Jonathan received, an assassin class.

What Jonathan got by completing this quest was a mythical transcendent artifact called the Blood Spirit Saw Blade.

It was not a reward that attracted Ian so much.

However, Ian could say that he gained information that was perhaps of greater value than mythological grade artifacts within the content of this quest.

‘Haha, I didn't even know that the Dark Keep was related to softness……. ’

A clue about the Papma family that had been disconnected for a while after the postponed quest.

It was a lot of information just to find out that the Papma family's laboratory is in the Dark Keep.

Jonathan didn't know what it was worth without any information about the Papmas, but he couldn't get it even if he gave Ian a thousand dollars.

Besides, it didn't end there.

The quest said that the Papma family had stored all the information about the ancient craftsmanship they had collected all over the keep.

‘If there is any data related to the artifact in the locker room of Luke the leopard is guarding……. In another location, there should be data related to the age of the spirit. ’

Ian was able to follow Jonathan after drawing various information through speculation and insight.

He pretended to use his toebox (although Jonathan might have felt it with his toebox), but there was a huge plot inside.

‘As long as there's a map, it'll be easy to clear out the fort...' ’

Use Jonathan's map to pillage the keep.

In the meantime, if we gather data related to spirit synthesis, and we find the NPC of the dark engineer, Girdin...

‘Two birds. No, that's not enough. Trinity, Trinity, Trinity. Huhu.’

So while Jonathan was fighting a boss class gatekeeper monster called the 'Machine Lucaque’, what Ian was trying to do was very simple.

‘Judging from the angle... it'll take me another half an hour to catch the boss. ’

As Jonathan makes his way through the dark fortress, he looks forward to finding the coordinates he wants.

where the Papma Institute, or Girdin the Dark Engineer, is located.

If I could only find one of them, I could say success.

“Now, let's move quickly...? ”

Ian quickly left the boss room and summoned Harley and Rye, the fastest ground summoners.

“Harley, you go that way. Rye, you search the other side. ”

Grrrrrrrrr!

“Understood, master. Grrr!”

And so the expedition seems to be going as smoothly as Ian thought.

* * *

A summoner on a British server.

To be precise, Eldon, the ‘Magic Summoner’ user, was a top-level ranker with a finger in the server.

He is part of the top guild in Europe, the Dark Blood Guild, and has a high level within five hands. He is a strong ranker with no shortage of the highest level of modifier for summoners.

The only reason he was not well known among regular users was because of his style of play.

He was almost a PVE-oriented user, and PVPs were rarely touched.

Names were known among the top users, and there was no public awareness.

“Oh, Eldon, you're here. ”

“Yes. There was nothing unusual about the Guild Node, was there? ”

“Yep.”

“What about the Master?"

“You and the Knight Leader went out for a guild quest a while ago. ”

“The Knight Leader... … Jorgand? ”

“That's right.”

“Hmm, the timing was a little hazy. Got it. Good work then. ”

“Thank you……! ”

And as a PVE-specialized user, Eldon had excellent content target capabilities.

He was a user who had the insight to dig through various elements of a quest or dungeon to create an unexpected route and quickly capture top content.

That's why ‘Eldon’ can be treated the best in the Dark Blood Guild, even though he can't contribute at all in content like a Guild War.

Jerk-jerk-jerk-.

After a long time out of his lab, Eldon buries himself on a soft couch in the Node Lobby.

The reason I came to the Guild Node in the first place was not to do something, but to cool off my head.

“Well, what's the last clue? If only we could solve that...... I think we can make a new recipe. ”

What Eldon was researching in the lab, of course, was related to masculinity.

Creating a stronger magic spell for a magician is inevitably the most important thing.

Furthermore, unlike Ian, whose subclass is related to horses, Eldon, a ‘hidden’ mascot summoner with at least three tiers of main class, had more unique abilities related to masculinity than Ian.

If Ian's masculinity is just a combination of horses.

Eldon had a unique ability to mix items, ingredients, and more.

Of course, it wasn't that long ago that I gained these unique abilities.

“The Horn of Darkbalock... I need it. I think that's all I need.... ”

Sitting on the couch, close your eyes and think of something, Eldon continues to mutter in a small voice.

And it's been, what, 10 minutes?

He suddenly opened his eyes and got back up from his seat.

Then the story that came out of his mouth, it was very surprising.

“I can't wait any longer. I have to go to the Dragon Gate myself. ”

He mentioned that for some reason, he was the top user of the Mahjong faction, and that he had to go to Forgiveness.

“Verzeb……! ”

Eldon got up from his seat and walked out to the center of the lobby, chanting in a small voice.

Whoo-hoo!

Then a little ‘devil’, about the size of a four-year-old boy, appeared in front of him.

- Master, you sent for me.

“Yes."

- Where do I go?

“The Garden of Ice Dragon. ”

- Okay, close your eyes.

Guwoong!

The little devil, who had a conversation with Eldon, suddenly hides himself in the air with red smoke.

However, the red smoke rises and completely envelops Eldon's body, and with it, Eldon's new body begins to evaporate.

The 'Fortress of Darkness’ was not a wider map than I thought.

However, the very narrow path was frozen, and the structure was so complex that it could almost be split once every five or six steps, it was just a structure that could not be walked without a map.

"Hoo, what would you have done without this map? ’

Ian, who has checked the map shared with Jonathan several times, has begun marking the coordinates around the fortress.

The location indicated on his map was only Luke's Chamber, and the fact that it was on the structure and length map did not mean that Ian was detailed to the desired location.

What Ian is doing right now is simply completing the map.

So why on earth did Ian put Jonathan in the boss' room and start doing this?

There were two main reasons.

The first reason was that from the time Jonathan's quest was completed, the breadth of his conviction was very narrow.

It was found in the last part of the quest window shared with Jonathan.

* When all quests are met, the Dark Keep will awaken from sleep. (If you do not escape the Dark Keep in time after the fort wakes up. The difficulty of the quest will increase exponentially.)

‘I don't know the specifics of waking up these fortresses.... If you get dizzy, you'll be the best one to break all my quests before then. ’

And the second reason.

In fact, this was the most important reason, because of the information obtained from Dratocus.

Ian remembered one piece of information he had obtained before he broke up with Dratos.

- Zirdin is most likely in the Dark Keep.

Where is it?

- I don't know about that. You have to figure it out.

- Chet.

- I only know one thing.

- What's that?

- The fortress is a treasure trove of mechanical engineers.

- Treasure... Storage?

- I heard there's only a handful of top engineers allowed inside the machine civilization.

- ……!

- Well, I'm not an engineer. I don't know what the treasure is, but between them, it's a treasure vault.

This information from Dratocus may have been a myth.

But Dratocus was the NPC, not the user, and so far Ian's experience of the flow of information from NPCs has been insignificant.

Ian was sneaking up on Jonathan.) We searched the fort.

As a result, Ian's inventory was filled with unknown black goods.

- Tyring!

- 'Black Power Plant (???)' You won the item!

- 'Link of Magical Power (???)' You won the item!

- 'The Dark Golem Decommissioner (???)' You won the item!

An inventory full of unidentified mechanical tools that reveal no information except its name.

- The conditions are not met.

- This item cannot be verified.

However, the identity of the items is unknown. Ian was even more excited.

‘If you know everything, it's not funny, is it? ’

I'm even more excited about what the items that have been swept away from here will do for me later.

Well, here's the thing.

What the hell is Ian?)?

Surprisingly, Ian's idea was very simple.

‘Kento would recognize the value of these items. ’

His only Japanese friend. Kento, a rare user with the class' Mechanical Engineer ’.

After the quest here, I was going to take all these items and visit him.

Of course, Ian's collecting this junk (?) and no one knew what the outcome would be.
