Taming Master

Between Plegetone and Rette.

The land of the dead, the third district of Erebos.

Arcane described this place as a place of hell, and Ian could not understand what it meant at first.

Ian and Huni arrived at the River of Oblivion so smoothly with the help of the Baller Guild to express themselves as hell.

But as Ian began to move towards the Tower of Ghosts in earnest, he realized what Arkane meant.

‘Definitely this much difficulty...... Hell, I'd say. ’

Ian's perceived difficulty in Namdaemun District 3 was much higher compared to Bitterstella, the top-level field in the Spirit Realm.

But the interesting thing was that the difficulty varied greatly from region to region within District 3.

Early fields beyond Fresh Plegetone had difficulties that seemed to be weaker than District 2, but the difficulty increased dramatically as the river of forgetfulness approached.

In addition, the difficulty increase increased more rapidly as we moved along the river of forgetfulness to the northwest, so Ian's specification has now reached an even more difficult level.

‘Of course, it's easier compared to Charlie's dungeon……. It must be hard for you to bring your difficulty here. ’

Ian shakes his head in horror, smiling at the underground vault of a machine civilization.

Even Ian was able to attack it because of the Spirit's blessing and the Epic Quest Buff.

Of course, the most powerful spirit, 'Elisha’, remained by Ian's side, but a simple comparison of special dungeons and common fields was impossible.

So Ian had no choice but to revise the image of the commandment that he had been thinking about.

"In a way, of all the intermediaries, the name system may have been the top content. ’

In fact, Ian initially thought that the system was an equivalent difficulty compared to other dimensional systems.

When he invaded Mercury and played in the spirit system.

Guilds like Balor and Calderas have already set foot in District 3.

Even less distant like Ralph or Inisko.) Rankers crossed over the Plageton, so Ian thought that in some ways, the lighter dimensional system was a system than the Spirit Realm.

Of course, on the difficulty level in the rapidly rising 3 zones, many rankers turned in different dimensions, but it was difficult to predict because it was a difficulty that Ian had never actually experienced.

‘Hehe, there was still a reason I was stuck in the river of forgetfulness. ’

Ian's mouth pierces the path as he faces the undead in District 3 with the guild members of Balor and his smile grows deeper.

When he first came to the commandment system, Ian had only one wing of a spirit, but he was more interested in the unexpected difficulty.

‘Yes, it's fun when it's hard. That way you can count the rewards. ’

The expedition of the Balor guild, including Ian and Hun, quickly cleared the undead and moved to the dead zone.

It was a bummer at first, but I'm starting to get my hands and feet kicked.

Ian and Hun's help and the experience of the Wearer Guild began to synergize, increasing the speed of hunting.

“You're certainly more stable with Ian. ”

“Hehe, I'm closer to the power of the Spirit King this time than I was able to. ”

“Humility……. ”

But when there are so many people, they can't all think the same.

With Ian and Hun's union, there was also an unwelcome figure.

Someone who had to drop out of the expedition because of them.

* * *

Ser Nuk, a guild member of the Baller Guild, has been very uncomfortable lately.

Despite being an early member of Balor's guild when it was first founded, he felt his position constantly tightened within the guild.

“Arcane is really too much. ”

In fact, the reason why Ser Nuk's position became so narrow was very simple.

He was able to join the guild because he was an acquaintance of Arcane, even though he was a little underqualified from the beginning. As more and more members of the Baller guild became the top guild, he naturally had to be eliminated.

Since Arcane was a very broken person and not a convenient person because she was an acquaintance, Ser Nuk had to get colder and colder.

And the Seoul that was piled up like that exploded because of what happened a while ago.

“Ser Nook, I must leave this expedition. ”

“Bro, what do you mean? ”

“I think I'm going to raid the Ghost Tower in a few days, but I'm trying to get to the top of my power. ”

“Am I hard enough to carry in 50 people? ”

“No, this time I'm going to be 30 elite. Last time we went to the Tower of Ghosts, you knew that. Your skills are still poor, Ser Nook. ”

Ser Nuch's transcendence level was around the late 70s, and it wasn't actually that low.

However, compared to the elite members of the Baller Guild, most of which are in the late '80s to' 90s, it is definitely not enough.

Moreover, the practical problem was not Ser Nook's level.

When Arcane thought it was cold, Ser Nook was able to level out in the late 70s because he took the guild party bus.

Ser Nook's lack of skills was, in fact, a risk in the dungeon of difficulty, independent of his level.

In the view of the archaean who had planned to conquer the Tower of Ghosts on this occasion to join Ian, Ser Nuk was clearly not to be taken as a burden even to his acquaintance.

And at the end of the Arcane, Ser Nook had no choice but to explode.

“But in the Maw, level is not important... …. ”

“It's not a level issue, you know better. ”

“Phew… I can't say that……. ”

“I'll put you in the Second Expedition. Take a break this time. Keep up the good work, Ser Nook. ”

The Second Expedition, as Arcane said, was the same party as the 2nd Army of the Balor Guild.

That's why Ser Nuk assumed that he had been pushed into the Second Army.

"How could he do this to me? ’

Of course, that was not the intention of the Arcane.

Ser Nook was one of the oldest arcane acquaintances, so he had enough affection for him.

I just wanted him to become more skilled because of the problem of equity within the guild, so that other guild members would recognize him and join the expedition.

But Ser Nook, who was already possessed by his qualifications, had no choice but to deviate from the intent of the Arcane.

‘Yes. This is your chance to send me to the Second Army. You think you're only interfering with the First Army expedition. ’

Ser Nuch himself knew better than anyone that his level and skills were ambiguous in Group 1.

But knowing it rationally doesn't mean that the sadness that has ever been accumulated can go away.

Ser Nuch's frustration and grief were inevitable to explode, and one more decisive event arose.

I learned another shocking fact from a colleague in the Balor guild.

“I heard from Oliver that this expedition will most likely target the Tower of Ghosts. ”

“You didn't make it halfway up last time, did you? ”

“I was.”

“How can you be so sure you didn't become more spectacular than that? ”

“This is a secret. Ian has agreed to join the expedition. ”

“Ian...? You mean that Ian from Lotus? ”

“I told you.”

“ ……! ”

“Only you should know, Ser Nook. You should never tell other guild members. ”

“Of course. They'll be sad to hear this. ”

The Ghost Tower has been an advanced content with the highest difficulty and tier, among other content that the Guild has ever found in the fame system.

Because of this, the story of attacking this dungeon with Ian had to be very sad for the excluded guild members from the party.

You don't need to see how great the original target reward was for this kind of content.

If you think that Ian, who is not a guild member, puts a spoon on the target of the Ghost Tower, you must be very sick.

“It took a little time, but I couldn't get through to them somehow.... ”

“Well, in fact, I believe the Master's decision is right, Ser Nook. ”

“Why?”

“I heard recently that Calderas and the Gesto Guild are starting to appear near the Tower of Ghosts. ”

“Well……. ”

“Gesto knows it, but if Calderas finds out about the Ghost Tower, there's a good chance he'll take the first clear. ”

“That's it, but.... ”

“So Arcane, I think, made this decision. ”

The guild members who told Ser Nook this story were members of the ‘Parto’ guild, an old friend of Arcane, Ser Nook and one of the top rankers of the Valar guild.

Despite his explanation, Ser Nook had no choice but to lose his grief.

Unlike yourself who was excluded from the expedition, Farto was clearly meant to be a key member.

‘Parto, that guy...... It's not his job, so you can say that. ’

Then Ser Nook, who split up with Parto, sat alone at the Guild Node and swallowed fury.

‘I don't know about the other guild members...... but you can't do this to me, Arcane. ’

Then Ser Nuk, who was constantly roaring by himself, got up and started heading somewhere.

The arcane has not been counted, but Ser Nook's complaint is burning as if it were a ticking time bomb.

* * *

Ian hasn't hit the midfield yet, but there were about two known sites.

The order from the first Erebos 3rd district, and Taecheon, the highest content of Yongcheon and a land no one has stepped on yet.

However, in the case of Taecheon, there was no clue except for the 'Heroes of the Ancient Battlefield’ quest. In fact, Ian's only target dimensional system is in the latter part of the system.

Of course, if you get 'Spirit Wings’ here, things would be much different.

- Tyring!

- You've discovered the Maw of the Hidden Dead.

- Increases reputation (transcendence) by 15,000.

- The grim energy of death starts to feel more intense.

The expedition of Ian and the Valor Guild took approximately half a day to arrive at the Tower of Ghosts.

And looking at the tower of spirits that appeared in front of him, Ian had no choice but to hold his head back.

‘If it weren't for the Wearer Guild...'... it would have taken me a long time to find the Ghost Tower. ’

The place where the Spirits Tower was located was not an ordinary place.

Follow the tortuous river of oblivion to the west end.

It was a place where we could only reach underwater through the 'Maw of the Dead’ on the western bank.

The fact that there would be an underwater map in the River Rette of oblivion was hard to come by and Ian couldn't help but be satisfied.

‘Good of you to ask for help. ’

However, the moment he stepped into the dead man's abyss, Ian's satisfied expression was immediately embarrassed.

- I set foot in the river of forgetfulness.

- The curse of forgetfulness descends on the whole body.

With two concise lines of messages, I could feel the strength draining through my body.
