20 minutes of footage of Kells the Black Mage and Ian's party.

The actual combat was less than 10 minutes long, but the video spread with explosive views.

All users who were playing the game at the time watched the video live, but those who were not connected later came to see it on the official website.

Moreover, as countless people began to spread the video, it became a topic even among ordinary people who did not play Kailan.

“Hey, have you seen this video? What kind of movie trailer is this? ”

“What a movie. It's a playback video of Kailan. ”

“Kailan? You mean that virtual reality game? ”

“Yes. That's Kyle. ”

Thanks to this, the LB publicity team was eager to dance.

“Yay, I don't even need to produce this promotional video. I think we should edit this video, improve it, and release it as it is. ”

“You know what? You're welcome to go to all the PR workshops next week, sir? ”

“Huh-huh-huh-huh! If you finish editing this video within the next week, you'll get paid for the workshop next week! ”

Of course, in order to write Ian's footage directly as a promotional video, he had to pay Ian the appropriate incentive.

The amount will never be small, but it was nothing bad at all.

If you look at the cost of promotional effects, it was a business that was left.

On the other hand, despite being employees of the same LB company, Ian also caused a lot of tears.

Ian changed the direction of the episode itself, so we had to create additional content soon.

There was a deep shade on the faces of the development, design and planning teams.

* * *

Weeing-!

Inside an empty chrysalis with no one left.

In the middle of a quiet, large pupil, the blue energy begins to overflow with resonance.

It's an instant login effect.

“Wheel, I'm in trouble because I want to connect quickly. ”

At the end of every event, the person who entered the encephalon with no one left was nothing but smoke.

“Hmmm, I have to explain to Ian, I have to eat twice as much experience, and I have a lot of work to do...! ”

Hun, who swallowed his saliva, suddenly put his hands together and began to pray.

“Lord Buddha. No, sir...! Please make them float in one of the weapons chests or quests! ”

Hon's prayer of desperation!

After praying diligently, Hun opened the quest window with a long face.

Former Quay! Please, ex-junkie! "

An elongated muttering Hun quickly sweeps the quest window in front of his eyes.

But nowhere in the quest window was the letter 'N’ notifying him that the new quest he wanted was created.

“Ugh...! ”

Hun shudders for a moment, but he hasn't lost hope yet.

‘Yes, my luck is usually a little bad.... It's gonna be different this time. You've been doing a lot of liquidating. ’

Chance of Hun getting the reward 2/4.

That's exactly 50%.

As it was confirmed that it was not already a previous quest, the remaining odds were 1/3.

“Jebaal...! ”

Hun opened his inventory with his eyes closed.

And shortly after, the eyes of Hun, who had checked the item window, were enlarged.

At the top of the item window, there was a golden box I had never seen before.

“Azzazazaq! Azzaq! ”

Hun quickly examined the item information.

And I was able to build a big smile.

[Mythical Grade Weapon Box (Black Wizard Only)]

"Khh! Even for a job!" I'm sorry! "

Hun wants to dance in the pool, so he pulls the weapons chest out of his inventory.

As long as the weapon for the Black Wizard is a confirmed weapon box, there is no need to panic.

“Now, where... Well, let's see what's in it. ”

Hun, who has a single expression, slowly raises the weapons box with an anticipated expression.

This was Hun's first mythological grade item, so I couldn't resist.

But that's when Hun was about to open the item box.

Whiiing-!

A dark wind blows in from somewhere, gathering in front of Hun to create a strange shape.

“ …! ”

He quickly put the weapons chest back into his inventory and quickly got into battle with a nervous look on his face.

It was a quick move as a ranker.

"What is it? Are there still monsters left?" It can't be...? ’

Hun, who opened his eyes halfway up, glanced at the dark shadow.

And after a while, I was surprised.

‘This...? That's the guy from when Kells died, right? ’

After Kells died, the white lights flew out and finally came back into the air.

The shadow that appeared in front of Hun's eyes was the same shape as the soul.

And the words slowly came out of the shadow's mouth.

[You're my partner.] I feel very familiar with you.]

Hun, who heard a sharp voice, quickly judged the situation.

Seeing that nothing comes to mind, including the level and information, it doesn't seem like a monster to fight.

After all the judgments, it's been a long time since Hun (?) were immersed in situational drama.

“Hehe, that's for sure. You, too, are Lord of Darkness. Isn't that right?"

And the question is, how satisfied are you with Hun's dialogue?) I started accepting it.

[Monarch of Darkness...] Yes or no. I'm only part of it.]

Hun pulls his hand up slightly on the tip of the hoodie, rolling the tail of one mouth with an arrogant look.

“Hey, I think you want something from me.... Don't hesitate to tell me. I'm a bigger man than I thought. ”

If someone heard it, their hands and feet would shrivel and they would not know what to do with their body, and the lesson of throwing a really casual expression.

But the mysterious shadow, naturally, nodded and continued the conversation.

[The Dark Energy I feel from you... Obviously not normal. All right, I'll make you an offer.]

And as soon as he finished, a quest window popped into Hun's eyes.

- Tyring!

---------------------------------------

- Rich King Charleon's Offer (Hidden) (Dual) -

Rich King Sharian planted a part of his soul in the heart of the Black Mage Kells.

It lends his powers to Kells, while keeping an eye on him.

However, Kells died suddenly, and the fragment of the original soul was isolated in the chrysalis.

Rich King Sharlian wants you to retrieve this piece of soul and find yourself.

And if you accept his offer, he will show you the way to become the Rich Meiji.

But the path of Rich Meiji is halfway to the will of Monarch of Darkness.

If you choose the path of Rich Meiji, the power of Impala will lose its light instead of gaining powerful Rich's dark magic.

Now you have to choose.

If you wish to gain the power of the Rich Maze, you must accept his offer, and destroy his soul if you wish to accept the maintenance of your mother's womb.

Quest Difficulty: S/SSS

(The difficulty of the quest varies depending on the user's choice.)

Quest conditions:

Black Wizard of Level 300 or higher.

Discover the Soul Fragment of Rich King Charleon.

The user who was conducting the quest ‘Underground Neptune Exploration Ⅰ'.

Timeout: None.

Reward - Former Quest ‘Rich Meiji'/Former Quest 'Lord of Command’

(Quest rewards will vary depending on the user's choice.)

The tail of one of Hun's mouths dries up, reading through the quest window.

After completing the quest, Ian returned to the kingdom and recruited the newly acquired NPCs as royal servants.

At first I thought about registering as my own, but it was not efficient.

Whether it was Shinhyang or Ian himself in the Kingdom, it made no difference to take him when he needed it, because he had to be registered as a royal servant in order to give orders to other users.

For Ian, who had too much to do, too much gospel was a burden.

“Sharian's necklace.... You should give this to Hun, right? ”

A 'Charleon's Necklace’ item obtained after completing Louisiana's quest.

Although it was a legendary necklace worth considering, it decided to concede it to the Huns.

Even though it was an unfortunate situation, it was because I felt guilty to PK the Hun.

“Well, I'll be in touch. ”

If Ian had checked his friends list, he would have known Hun was already connected, but Ian was a user who rarely opened his friends list.

And most of all, I have too much to do now.

The new matching quest I received from Louise was about to begin, and there was a place I had to go before that.

Ian pulled out dimensional beads from his inventory in a long time.

Then I opened the dimensional door and moved somewhere.

* * *

The Lab of Serbian in the 107th Borough.

After a long time, Serbian welcomed Ian to the lab.

“Oh, Ian! It's been a long time.It's been too long. Come here often. It's lonelier than I thought for an old man to be stuck in the lab alone. ”

Ian laughed and rebuked.

“So if you're bored, get another apprentice?" I've told you many times. ”

“Haha, I can't do that. Since I've already taught you, I don't think anyone will be satisfied. ”

“You don't have to float it like that. ”

Ian thought that Serbian was drifting, but he never was.

He really thought there would be no more disciples as satisfied as Ian, without exaggeration.

‘Yes, of course. Where else would I find someone to follow my research philosophy like this? ’

Ian-like pervert (?), Serbian was confident that it would be nowhere in the world.

After all, Serbian, who knows why Ian came, led him inside the lab.

“You came here for the egg I left you last time, didn't you? ”

“Yes, you're pretending to be a teacher. ”

“Hehe, come over here for a moment. ”

Ian, who followed Serbian into the inside of the lab, entered a room that had been firmly locked deep inside the lab.

And it was full of red dried chloride with hot heat.

“Phew, I can't get used to this place many times. ”

As Ian mutters as he wipes off the puffy sweat, Serbian nods, smiling bloody.

“I had to. The energy of the Salt is unbearable not only for Humans, but also for the dizzy Horsemen. ”

Ian turns his head and looks around the room.

Lots of magic eggs on top of Magi and Chloride.

Unlike regular monster eggs, the egg varies in color depending on the type or degree of hatchery, so the appearance of a large number of eggs gathered creates a very mysterious atmosphere.

And as you head to the corner of the room, there are eggs that Ian entrusted to Serbian.

Ian's face was slightly darkened as he confirmed it.

“Hmm... As expected, Behemoth's egg remains unchanged. ”

Serbian nods with a bitter smile.

“I see. Still no way to hatch a magic egg above the legendary grade." I think I need something special... I don't know. ”

Three blue eggs, neatly displayed, in a red burning sea salt.

Ian scratches his back head, looking at the egg with a mysterious texture like a glass egg.

“If you have Behemoth, you can somehow make mythical magic. ”

In Ian's words, Serbian smiles and replies.

“Haven't you already achieved the mythical grade of magic craftsmanship? ”

“You mean Khrr? ”

“Of course. Even I haven't been able to copulate since the Caliph, a 'khr’ size you are. You should be proud of that. ”

Ian crouches in front of Behemoth's egg.

And looking carefully at the blue eggs, he opened his mouth, muttering.

“Khrr is a good enough math, but I've always wanted to use Mathoonism... ”

To date, Ian has experimented with most legendary grade sorghum found in the horse system as an ingredient of consumerism.

Not to mention Baloch, from Tarveros to Devil Dragon.

He hunted down all the legendary grade horseshoes that appeared in the Great Barrier 10 area, collecting adra stones and continuing to experiment.

However, there was one adra that could not be searched anywhere, so it was the adra of Behemoth.

Only the one guarding the Commander's Tower couldn't find Behimos.

Ian's muttering gives Serbian a firm nod.

“Don't worry too much. I'll find a way to hatch them somehow. ”

“Thank you, Serbian. The Serbians will surely find a way. ”

Serbian grinning, sitting on a chair, he wipes his sweat and lets out a light sigh.

“Whew, I wish there was a precedent for hatching a legendary grade corn egg. No matter how much I search the records, I can't find it..." ”

But then...

Ian hears Serbian's words, and suddenly he wakes up in his place.
