Episode 77:
X’s face was full of regret.
“As expected, that giant soldier was a treasure. “Unfortunately, the vengeful spirit entered the giant army…”
X searched the ruins until the connection was forcibly terminated. And the next day, I logged back in and searched through the remaining ruins. But there was nothing special.
A giant vessel made of hundreds of precious metals.
That giant soldier was the guardian and treasure of the ruins. But you can’t have regrets about treasure forever. X shook off his regret.
‘I can’t help it. ‘I have no choice but to go to the next ruins.’
If there had been no royal seal, the sense of loss would have been even greater.
Still, the royal seal that appeared when I opened the inventory put my mind at ease. A legendary level item. Plus, an item that will make your dream of becoming rich come true!
‘…But it might feel a little uncomfortable.’
A seal that grants ownership of the site of an ancient kingdom in a forgotten land. It was an ancient kingdom that fell overnight in the past. If you think about it, it could be said that it was acquiring ownership of a national cemetery.
It’s definitely uncomfortable. But X decided to think positively.
“Well, just think of him as your ancestor.”
Even if it’s a cemetery, isn’t the land still land?
There are only a very small number of users who own land in Fate World. There are only a handful of guilds that own territory, but it is not common to acquire national land with infinite development potential.
“I decided to think about it gradually.”
After organizing his thoughts, X summoned Yongyong.
“Shall we eat first and then move?”
“Kyuuuu!!”
Since both he and Yongyong had a hard time, X started making special food. It was a dish made using 10,000-year-old coral water. The effect of the 10,000-year-old coral water, which increased stats explosively, was enormous.
“It’s not as bad as the first time, though?!”
Tiroling! Numerous notifications came to mind.
[Maximum health increases by 2000 points!]
[Maximum mana increases by 2000 points!]
[Strength increases by 30 points!]
[Dexterity increases by 30 points!]
[Intelligence increases by 30 points!]
First Ten Thousand Year Coral Tree The stats increased overwhelmingly, although not compared to when I drank it. This was thanks to the exquisite synergistic effect of the heavenly taste and the precious essence of eternal coral.
“Kyuuu….”
“Why are you doing this, Yongyong? Do you want to eat too?”
“Kyuuu!”
All at once!
Yongyong, who was eating raw meat, showed interest in the hot soup. Yongyong’s golden pupils sparkled. I’m afraid it’s not a dragon, but it recognizes good things like ghosts… X smiled as he looked at Yongyong’s sad eyes.
‘In the first place, you shouldn’t feed people food.’
Animals and people should not eat the same food.
Because your health may deteriorate. X thought of Yongyong, who chewed even turtles with their shells, like a normal pet. Normally, I would have ignored that look, but since Yongyong worked hard, I decided to give in this time.
‘Besides, Yongyong still has something to work through.’
A traveler’s sword.
Or the fire dragon’s teeth that return to their original form when they absorb a massive amount of flame. Yongyong’s breath could easily be considered a massive flame. X was planning to change the special meal and breath.
X scooped up a bowl of meat soup boiled in perennial coral water.
And Yongyong put it down in front of him.
“It’s hot so you have to eat it slowly.”
“Kyuuu!!!”
“Cute bastard.”
Yongyong spread his wings wide and began to hungrily inhale the meat soup. X looked at that with satisfaction.
purr. purr.
I could feel happiness in the sounds Yongyong made. Suddenly, X muttered.
“…Still, should we eat together sometimes?”
Eating alone.
X has basically been eating alone. After meeting Yongyong, he ate together, but he basically ate the food he cooked himself. Therefore, eating with Yongyong was refreshing. And it was fun.
X, who was watching, picked up the spoon.
“Kyuuuu….” Soon Yongyong,
who had emptied the bowl neatly with a passionate gaze, came into view. X petted Yongyong and picked up the ladle.
“Would you like some more?”
“Kyuuuu!!”
“Good. “You have to eat a lot and pay for it properly?”
X and Yongyong filled their bellies without saying a word. Yongyong was preoccupied with X’s food, which he was trying for the first time, but X had other thoughts.
‘Make trustworthy colleagues.’
That’s what Sioras said.
It is impossible to defeat another being by yourself. I won’t ask you why you don’t open your heart, but make a colleague you can trust at least a little.
“….”
X muttered while reflecting on his homework.
“For me, just one of our dragons is enough.”
“Kyuu? Wow!!”
As expected, the great sage’s homework is very difficult.
X swallowed a bitter smile when he saw Yongyong smiling.
*
There were no more Old Kingdom ruins in the south. If you go to the eastern corner of the continent, there is one, but it is located in a completely opposite location to Zurpia.
“I guess I’ll have to go north from now on.”
X planned to advance north from Zurphia. If I got my bearings right, I could go up and pass at least three historical sites.
X stood up with Yongyong. On the outskirts of Zurpia, users were hunting. Now I had to unsummon Yongyong.
“before you go in! “Yongyong, are you ready?”
“Kyuu?”
“Here, give this black thing a hot blow!”
X placed the traveler’s sword on a stone block. Yongyong didn’t understand, but since he got the meat soup, his already high level of loyalty increased to the extreme!
“Kyuuuuu!!”
Grumble! Soon, Yongyong released his breath towards the traveler’s sword. Dragon Breath with overwhelming destructive power! However, the force seemed to have increased significantly compared to when dealing with the titan.
“…!!”
The breath shows no signs of fading away!
In fact, the breath emitted by Yongyong, a baby dragon, was somewhat immature. The emission time was short and the range was narrow. But can your breath grow this much overnight?
‘The level has risen by about 10, but is this too much?’
X was embarrassed and checked Yongyong’s condition.
Name: Yongyong
Race: Dragon
Satiety: 100%
Level: 152
Vitality: 140300 / 140300
Mana: 90000 / 90000
Strength: 1990 / Agility: 1310
Magic: 1000 / Overpower: 920
“…?!”
What is this?
Yongyong’s vitality was approaching 150,000. At last check, Yongyong’s stamina was 90,000.
It would have been difficult to exceed 100,000 points even if he had risen 10 levels… X’s panicked thoughts suddenly turned to meat soup.
“A 10,000-year coral tree!”
Yongyong does not have a heavenly sense of taste. Therefore, it was ineffective when eating regular meat, but meat soup made from 10,000-year-old coral water was an excellent elixir that could increase one’s abilities even if one did not have a heavenly taste.
Even though Yongyong was growing up, he took that medicine.
“…I’m really afraid of the future.”
“Kyuuuuu.”
“good job. “Our Yongyong is the best!”
Yongyong rushed towards X, who stuck his tongue out. It meant praising me for doing what I was told. X patted Yongyong and looked at the flames.
‘It’s really absorbing the breath.’
A vast amount of flame was being sucked into the traveler’s sword. It was fortunate. If it weren’t for the traveler’s sword, the massive, undying breath could have burned Zurfia to the ground.
After the heat subsided from the ground, X examined the traveler’s sword.
“Is once not enough?”
Still in a shabby state, black and skinny.
Although it was an enormous flame, it was a traveler’s sword that truly lived up to its name, Fire Dragon’s Tooth. X confirmed the information. This was to check to what extent the conditions were met.
[Flame absorbed: 0.4%]
“…This is crazy.”
Only 0.4 percent? Even after absorbing all of that enormous flame, it is still less than 1%! The disappointment was even greater because X had high expectations after seeing Yongyong’s firepower. But X thought positively.
‘This means it has tremendous power!’
Yes, it may be difficult to get it to 100%, but… time heals everything in the end. Moreover, the hard work with the reward in sight was fun to do.
X gathered his strength and took the traveler’s sword.
“Let’s go to the Starry Plain!”
*
A blazing red dog symbol.
Holt, the leader of the Hellhounds, began to seek out subordinates.
Veins protruded from his bald head.
“Even though the cubs lost their discipline, did they lose their temper properly? Did you miss the guy who crawled into the heart of Zurfia on his own? “Is the chasing skill you worked so hard to achieve a form, you bastards?”
Even if it feels unfair, let’s just shut up.
That’s how to live.
Wanson, who was still frowning, gritted his teeth.
‘Tell me what to do when he disappears so quickly.’
Wanson’s job is Shadow Stalker.
Among the thief class jobs, it was a job specialized in so-called ‘work’. Tracking and targeting target players was a piece of cake for Wanson.
But chasing X wasn’t easy. Not only is there not much information about famous sightings, but they are flashing everywhere. It’s normal to keep moving all the time, whether you’re terminating the connection or not.
Perhaps because he wants to die, he wanders around dangerous places alone. Then, I barely caught up, but X suddenly disappeared.
‘It either rises into the sky or falls to the ground.’
I waited for over a full day at the Zurpia ruins, wondering if the connection had been terminated. However, X’s presence could not be detected even with Wanson’s tracking skills.
It really felt like it was either rising into the sky or falling to the ground. In the end, Wanson and the chase team lost X. Busily, busily. said Holt, gritting his teeth.
“Next time, I’ll join the chase.”
“yes? You don’t have to. “I must…!”
Holt’s temperament is so damn true.
The guild’s name is Hellhound, not for nothing. Wanson is a Hellhound, but on the other hand, he wanted to see Holt destroyed. But he was also very strong, so I’ve never seen Holt lose in a PK.
A chase with him. I wanted to turn it down even if they offered me a million gold. But Holt was stubborn.
“Shut up. Find out where he went, even if it means paying for the information. “If we catch him, everything will be resolved.”
If you catch To Holt, X was nothing more than tasty prey.
Of course, that was Holtmann’s mistake.
*
The dark, starry plain.
“Because this is a place with few people.”
X summoned Yongyong. Yongyong, who came out of the air, did not rush to X. Instead, it flew slightly into the air and sensed a subtle yet ominous atmosphere.
“Kyuu?”
Black crane paper floating in the air.
It was an item with the highest level of pursuit magic purchased from Hellhound for a large sum of money. It was a crane that caught up with us from a village we stopped by before arriving at the Starry Plains, but X didn’t notice.
That’s because it was flying somewhere far above our heads. But I couldn’t avoid Yongyong’s feelings. Clever Yongyong understood the situation in an instant.
“Kyuu… Kyuhu!!”
Yongyong’s golden eyes held a murderous spirit. This was the moment when Yongyong, who had already become extremely loyal, recognized the Hellhound as an enemy. In short, it touched the disgust of the strongest creature, the dragon.
X called Yongyong, whether he was aware of the situation or not.
“Yongyong, what are you doing there? Are you looking at the stars?”
“Kyuuu? Kyuuuuu.”
Yongyong quickly changed his expression and fell into X’s arms.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
