51:
Sioras looks in disbelief!
X answered confidently.
“There is no reason to lie. After meeting the Gourmet King, I got the job of Heavenly Gourmet and am currently on a mission to reveal the truth about the Gourmet King.”
“…Could you give me some time to think?”
“of course. I’ll wait.”
Sioras seemed shocked. It was only natural because Kalon shed tears after hearing X’s words, and Liglian was furious.
‘I’m glad it seems to be more favorable than Liglian.’
In any case, it seemed like the worst had been avoided.
Sioras, who had been thinking deeply, opened his mouth.
“X, I will believe you. No, I have no choice but to believe it. Just knowing Kalon and Ligrien, who are descendants of Kalsumar, is enough evidence.”
“Thank you for your trust.”
“okay. “You’ve been through a lot of hard times, right?”
“yes?”
The kindest words I’ve ever heard. It was the exact opposite attitude from Liglian. Sioras rummaged through the lighthouse’s cupboard and took out a glass. Then he used magic to heat the water and make tea.
“Let’s hear it.” “It will relieve the fatigue of your travels.”
“Thank you!”
X, slightly moved by the benevolent tone and attitude, drank the tea that Sioras gave him.
Tiroling! A notification came to mind.
[Heavenly taste has discovered the hidden taste of ‘Shine Leaf Tea’!]
[The vital energy of Shine Leaf is absorbed into the body!] [Maximum vitality increases by 1000 points!]
[Maximum mana increases by 1000 points
Increase!]
[Strength increases by 30 points!]
[Dexterity increases by 30 points!]
[Intelligence increases by 30 points!]
“…!”
X’s eyes widened. Is it possible for my stats to increase so much by just taking a sip of tea? I couldn’t even imagine how precious the material was. Seeing X’s surprise, Sioras smiled kindly.
“Your reaction when you drink that tea is the same as yours.”
“It’s a taste you can’t help but be surprised by.”
“Hehe, this is the tea I serve only when valuable guests come over.”
As Sioras said, X seemed to be completely relieved of the fatigue of the trip.
sniffling. The aroma of tea permeates your entire body! After X emptied his glass, Sioras asked.
“So, what is it that the heir of the Gourmet King is curious about and has come to see me?”
What should I say first?
The reason X originally came to Sioras was because of the Gourmet King’s recipe. Meanwhile, I obtained the Ancient Kingdom quest in the Desert of Oblivion and defeated a man who seemed to be related to the destruction of the Ancient Kingdom in the Forest of Old Trees.
X, who was thinking, opened his mouth.
“I have many questions. First, I would like to ask the Great Sage if he knows anything about the Gourmet King’s recipe.”
“It’s the recipe of a gourmet king. It’s nothing grand, but I know something. Even though you’re older, you still have a good memory, right? “There is one dish I remember looking over my shoulder.”
“Is that true?”
I know the gourmet king’s recipe!
X’s eyes sparkled brightly. The bear stance alone was a tremendous morale skill and had great utility value. What if you get another morale skill here?
‘There is nothing to be afraid of.’
While using two fraud skills, there will be no user who will get X! If Yongyong is with us, we will be able to deal with at least dozens of top rankers.
“Hehe, your emotions are all visible on your face. Let’s talk about the recipe little by little… What is the next question?”
Great Sage Sioras seemed to have a strong studious personality who couldn’t resist being curious. Of course, that was the same for X as well. X searched through his inventory and pulled out the Diary of the Guardian of the Ancient Kingdom and the Ring of the Worshiper.
Sioras’ eyebrows twitched.
“…I feel a very ominous energy.”
“This old book is an item obtained by defeating the Guardian of the Ancient Kingdom of the Desert of Oblivion. “I brought it to you because I thought you might know the language of the ancient kingdom, Great Sage.”
“This is a book obtained by defeating the guardian of the ancient kingdom?”
“Yes, it is. Is there any problem…?”
In response to X’s answer, Sioras hurriedly picked up the book.
I buried my head in the book, looked at the letters carefully, and began to interpret them. Even though he was accumulating a lot of knowledge, it seemed impossible for him to read the letters of the ancient kingdom perfectly. Still, I think I’ve roughly figured out the content.
Soon Sioras opened his mouth.
“The language of the ancient kingdom is a very old language. Even if you wanted to learn, there aren’t even books left to learn from. “I couldn’t interpret it perfectly, but… This book describes from a knight’s perspective the night that dozens of ancient kingdoms fell!”
Describes the fall of the ancient kingdom from the perspective of the knights.
So does this mean that the guardian of the ancient kingdom defeated in the Desert of Oblivion was a knight of the ancient kingdom?
Tiroling! A quest occurred to X, who vaguely understood the context.
《Fall of Ancient Kingdoms-0》
Numerous ancient kingdoms fell overnight.
Chosen as a quester for the ancient kingdom, you have been given the ability to remain invincible even in the face of powerful enemies. Now, rather than researching the cause of destruction, I hope that you will suffer and liberate the vengeful spirits of the ancient kingdom as quickly as possible….
Condition: Liberation of the vengeful spirits of the ancient kingdom 0/50
Difficulty: B+
Reward: Chained Quest Destruction of the Ancient Kingdom – 1 You can proceed with .
‘Chain quest with difficulty level B+!!’
From the moment I heard it was an ancient kingdom, I thought it was something out of the ordinary. But it’s a chain quest with difficulty level B+! B+ This was the most difficult quest X had undertaken to date.
‘Considering that the difficulty of linked quests is increasing…’
Next, wouldn’t it be the first time in Fate that we’ll be able to perform a quest with level A difficulty?
The higher the difficulty, the higher the reward!
‘It’s a good thing you came here!’
The corners of X’s mouth twitched. But, on the contrary, Sioras’ expression was not good. Sioras had a face that seemed to be bothered by something. Sioras, who had been contemplating, opened his mouth.
“Ex, how much do you know about the ancient kingdom?”
“Well, honestly, I’m ignorant.”
Yes.
The Ancient Kingdom is an unknown territory where little is known even among Fate users. Not only users but also NPCs know about the ancient kingdom.
“The ancient kingdom had a strong power. Sometimes you can tell by looking at the relics found on the grounds of the kingdom. “I think you can understand that.”
“That’s right. “It has such outstanding performance that you wouldn’t think it’s an ancient item.”
Sioras looked at the ancient kingdom knight set worn by X. X also agreed with Sioras’ words. In terms of effectiveness, the relic could actually be said to be superior to current equipment. Sioras continued speaking in a serious voice.
“Such an ancient kingdom was destroyed overnight… along with most of the other kingdoms on the continent. “Isn’t something strange?”
“…of course it’s strange.”
“It’s something that doesn’t make sense from our perspective. But what would it be like to see it from the perspective of [another being] with overwhelming power, not ours?”
Another being with overwhelming power?
X couldn’t immediately understand Sioras’ words.
An ancient kingdom with power that rivals that of today’s nations. Are there people who have the power to destroy that ancient kingdom in one day?
Sioras’ face was even more serious.
Also, the words that came out of his mouth were even more surprising.
“300 years ago, the Gourmet King wanted to protect the Kingdom of Arba from those other beings. “Because the demonic beast of another being that destroyed the ancient kingdom and its followers have begun to appear in the world once again.”
“Is that really true?”
“The Gourmet King gathered his strength to deal with other beings. With loyal subordinates. I thought he could easily stand up to other beings. It was unfortunate that he suddenly went missing, but…”
Other beings who have the power to destroy the Fate World for a moment. Such beings appeared on the continent once again, and while they were gathering strength to fight them, the Gourmet King, who was involved, went missing.
‘The more I think about it, the more trash it becomes, right?’
The Gourmet King felt like he had no sense of responsibility.
This could only be seen as a betrayal of the trust of countless people.
Now that I think about it, I understand Liglian’s reaction.
‘Ligrien and other subjects must have been worried every day without knowing whether the Gourmet King was alive or dead. In the meantime, if you send a successor to show off…’
It’s no wonder he’s so fierce.
Now I see that Liglian was a very patient weirdo. X sighed, feeling fortunate that it ended at that point. But there was one thing that stuck.
‘Wait a minute…’
A long time ago, ancient kingdoms were destroyed overnight.
Other beings who spread their magic over the Gourmet King’s Kingdom of Arba 300 years ago. I could be sure that their only goal was destruction. But didn’t the current X also encounter a man with a close connection to destruction?
X’s eyes sparkled.
‘The man who polluted the rune stone!’
Why has it occurred to me only now?
The man I met in the forest of old trees used the Brand of Destruction.
However, X had ignored the stigma of destruction through the effect of the title Ancient Kingdom Seeker. Therefore, I guessed that the man might be related to the fall of the ancient kingdom, and considering that he was contaminating the rune stone, his goal this time would be the entire world.
In that case, that man….
‘is a different being.’
They are other beings or are related to other beings!
This wasn’t normal.
X opened his mouth urgently.
“Sir Sioras, I have a guess.”
“What do you mean by guessing?”
“It’s a story about another being.”
X explained to Sioras what had happened.
From discovering the rune stone at the heart of the Old Tree Forest to defeating the man who had polluted the rune stone and obtaining an ominous ring, to learning that the man was related to the stigma of destruction and the destruction of the ancient kingdom.
Sioras covered her head and sighed.
“Why did you tell me such an important fact now?”
“That’s…”
Should I say that I was momentarily distracted by the high-difficulty chain quest? I couldn’t help but think that greed had taken over my thoughts for a moment. As X remained still as if reflecting, Sioras opened his mouth.
“If 300 years ago, the destruction of the Kingdom of Arba was at stake… 300 years later, now the destruction of the entire Fate World is at stake?”
He stared into X’s eyes.
It was as if his eyes were looking into my inner heart.
“Do you know the weight of the burden given to you? From now on, you will have to face other beings who want to destroy the ancient kingdom, in the past the destruction of the Arva Kingdom, and now the entire Fate World!”
Other beings who destroyed the ancient kingdom in one day!
It was so difficult that it was scary just to listen to it. It was perhaps the most important event in Fate, linking the past and present. But there was no fear on X’s face. I was just full of confidence and anticipation.
‘It’s a quest fit for a fraud character.’
It was an X that had enjoyed Fate very easily so far. When I heard that an incident had finally occurred where I could do my best to face it or not, my body began to itch.
X answered, staring into Sioras’ eyes.
“I know. And I’m confident I can do it!”
A truly arrogant answer.
Sioras, who knew the fear of other beings, thought so. But X’s unwavering gaze was not a lie.
Like the eyes of the gourmet king 300 years ago.
‘I’ve already been fooled once, so it’s not difficult to do it twice.’
Sioras swallowed a laugh and then spoke sternly.
“I understand your determination, X. But your level right now is terrible. That means there’s still a long way to go. “With the current methods, even if it takes hundreds or thousands of years, we will not be able to even reach the toes of other beings.”
Sioras glanced at X and held out his hand.
“So how about joining me? I am confident that I can improve your abilities to a certain level. Of course, being with me will never be easy.”
X raised the corner of his mouth at Sioras’ words.
Doesn’t this mean it will allow growth at a much faster rate than before? It wasn’t X who would back down just because it wasn’t easy. Bow!X said strongly while holding Sioras’ hand.
“Master Sioras, please take care of me in the future!”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
