463 Second Clue (3)

* * *

- You have reached level 400 for the first time.

- +700,000 Reputation.

- Wagner, the Tower of Summoners, is looking for you.

A lot of messages came to Ian's mind.

However, the most prominent of them was also the 'first’ two-letter word.

"Hehe, am I the first? ’

In Kailan, you never leak the level of private rankers.

Unless the ‘first’ modifier is attached, we cannot be sure of ranking number 1 with only a ranking list.

This first time made Ian feel good in many ways.

‘Khh, now the Kingdom of Elika is like catching meat...' All that's left to do is hit Charleon. ’

As Ian clears his mind for a moment, Remus, who slaughtered the false king, naturally went to the throne and sat down.

Unlike the somewhat geological figure so far, it was Lemus with a fairly royal atmosphere.

“Thank you, Ian. Now it's my turn to fulfill my promise. ”

Ian nods, smiling and smiling.

“Yes. Please, Remus. I'll move the army as soon as I get back. ”

Ian made a simple arrangement with Remus and then opened his inventory to use the return stone.

Now it's time to return to Lotus and raise an army.

Then, a few more lines of new system messages appeared before Ian's eyes.

Now that you are at level -400, you have met the minimum conditions to ‘transcend’ the threat.

- If you go to Leboro, the chief of the warrior village, he will tell you about the Examination of the Transcendent.

“Huh?"

Ian's mouth leaked elasticity without even knowing it.

It was because the word 'village of warriors’ was familiar to me.

The token of valor that Camille gave me! That's the middle town, isn't it? ’

Moreover, the word 'transcendence of intimidation’ was also a clue that was not welcome to Ian.

Perhaps a few days ago, Ian would not have known the meaning of this word.

But now I know exactly what this means.

"Middleman!"

In Ian's head, I immediately remembered three days ago.

* * *

Generally, the ‘quest window’ of users playing Kailan was often filled to the ground with subtleties.

The higher the level of users, the more likely they were to do so, and the reason is simple.

This is because it is difficult to clear, or the longer quests take, the higher the level.

Especially for simple Nogadas who bother with quests, they often just hunt them down without even looking at the quest window.

Of course, playing such a game in Kailan is not very efficient, with such a large percentage of quests.

However, there were always users who maintained a neat quest window of less than 10 lines, even though the level was top notch.

And one of them was Ian.

Ian was one of those perverts who pathologically hated the red ‘N’ on the quest window.

‘It bothers me all day when I'm floating like that. ’

Ian lets out a short sigh and shakes his head.

Ian recently had one concern.

Even after more than a few weeks had passed, it was because there was a quest stuck in the quest window that was still unable to find directions, rather than clearing it.

Moreover, this was a quest that Ian could never give up.

Then haven't you even tried?

Of course not.

‘How can we clear it? ’

Before proceeding with the ‘Puppet of the Kingdom of Elika’ quest received from Remus, Ian sighed deeply while preparing for battle in Lotus.

The quest in progress was very smooth, but the quest that was delayed was always noticed.

The quest is…….

-Quest: Train the New Dragon of Darkness, Lugaryx

-Type: Hidden/Burst

-Limited time: none

- Difficulty: SSSSS

-Status: In Progress

- Reward: Dark New Dragon Lugaryx, Increase ‘Taming Master’ Hidden Class Tier

A mythical summoner and the most powerful summoner Ian has ever seen, Lugaryx.

A quest for Penta-grade difficulty level has been laid in Ian's quest window that still requires a taste of mythical summons that have never been captured in the history of Kailan.

So as Ian, the attendants were constantly concerned.

Ian's gaze, fixed on the letter 'N’, moved toward the side slightly.

And there, a pair of unfamiliar children were playing in the middle of nowhere.

In front of them was a barbie doll the size of a palm of a hand.

“Come on, brother, hurry up! I want you to make a proper Lady Arnasha! ”

“Look! Look, the white priesthood, the silver staff. It's a perfect replica.”

“No, no! Saint Arnasha didn't look like this. ”

“Hmm? How do you know that? You don't even remember.”

“I don't remember, but it's in the Colonarian history!" It's like the goddess of beauty has come! "”

A doll of the saint 'Arnasha', crafted by Lugaryx in clay.

The doll that Lugaryx had made with a lot of magic was of tremendous quality.

Almost ‘hyper-realism’ feels so true that it doesn't hurt.

But Elkarix didn't seem to like the doll.

“Yes, the Virgin Arnasha was very beautiful. ”

“But what if I made it like this? ”

“Why? You made it pretty? What's wrong?”

“Lady Arnasha couldn't have had such a big head! Keep your hair down, brother. ”

Elkarix demands a modification to his work, but Lugaryx does not accept it.

“I can't do that. ”

“Why?”

“Because...... this is the identity of the Lady Arnasha. ”

“ ……? ”

“The saint was beautiful, but she was an idiot. ”

“To?”

“You can't fix my work that perfectly expresses what it is. ”

Hearing the conversation of the two dragon children, Ian shakes his head in horror.

‘Tsk, I'm stubborn... ’

When Ian first received the quest to 'Train Lugaryx’, he was extremely stunned.

However, after gaining a reliable helper named 'El’, the quest began to go very smoothly.

Thanks to Elkarix, we were able to quickly raise the ‘Amity’, the most basic condition for tasting summoned water.

And just a few hours ago.

Ian sees the message that his intimacy with Lugaryx has become MAX, and finally tries to take a shot.

By raising the tier of the Taming Masterclass and raising expectations of the mythical summoner Lugaryx.

“Lugaryx.”

“Ian, you called? ”

“I think you're a great dragon. ”

“Of course. I'm the new Dragon of Darkness. ”

“In that case, Lugaryx. ”

“Hmm?"

“What kind of summoner do you think I am? ”

‘The answer is set and all you have to do is answer.’ It was Ian's ambassador who was hiding behind his back.

However, Lugarix, a simple dragon, fulfilled his determined answer.

“Ian, you're an amazing summoner. ”

“Isn't that right?"

“At least the best human summoner I've ever seen. ”

“Phew, fuck, I can see your eyes! ”

Ian starts laying rice cakes little by little to recruit Lugaryx.

And when Ian thought the timing was perfect, he dared to start acting.

“Speaking of... Lugaryx. ”

“What's the matter? ”

“Capture, no, will you be my summoner? ”

“Hmm?"

“With your powerful magic, Charleon should be able to fight back. ”

“Of course you are. ”

But the result is…….

“Well, are you gonna be my summoner? ”

“No, you can't. ”

“Why?”

“Because I don't want to be a human summoner. ”

“What's that supposed to mean? ”

“It means you can't be a summoner with a lower 'strike’ than me. ”

“ ……? ”

Lugaryx's explanation was simple.

As a new dragon, the one who mediates the dimension has the threat of the "middleman," whereas Ian is ordinary, so he cannot be a summoner.

The other day, Ian, who had heard Lugaryx's explanation of the human world, the intermediary world, and the heavenly world, understood what Lugaryx was saying.

“So... you mean I can't be my summoner because I don't have the threat of a middleman?" ”

“That's right."

“And that's the only reason? ”

“Yes.”

Nevertheless, there was one part that I did not understand.

“By the way, Lugarix, Do all the new dragons that mediate dimensions have a threat to the middleman? ”

“That's right."

“So, El or Carseus, a lot of middlemen, then? ”

Lugaryx nods and answers.

“Yes. They're not intact because they've lost their soul's memory, but they're still in mortal danger. ”

“Then, just because there's a threat in the middle doesn't mean you can't become a human summoner, right? They're already my summoners. ”

“You're right. ”

In Lugaryx's reply, Ian looks ridiculous.

“Then why not? ”

But as soon as he heard Lugaryx's next words, Ian lost his words.

“Just. It's my heart. ”

“ ……? ”

“At least I think I'm qualified to act like a summoner ‘Eos’. ”

‘Eos’ was a person that Ian knew well.

An ancient summoner who gave Ian the quest of the 'Selamus' tribe.

One of the eight most powerful men in the desert was Eos.

Was he a middleman? ’

But now, the fact that the absolute desert tribe was a middleman was of little importance to Ian.

It was the biggest question of whether or not to succeed in the 'Train Lugaryx’ quest.

“Then……. If I get threatened by a middleman, will you be my summoner? ”

With Ian's question, Lugaryx nods slowly as he ponders for a moment.

“Well……. Ian, you're a qualified summoner. All right, if you get threatened by a middleman, I'll think about it. ”

This was the first attempt to tame Ian's Lugaryx.

It was because Lugaryx's will was firm, although he did not know exactly what the word "threatening" was, but it was not a set rule.

Lugaryx's simple but never-ending demand to be a 'middleman'.

Of course, I can't say I've still found my way, but now I know at least 'directionality’.

Ian slowly slipped out of recall.

‘I didn't think level-up would lead me to that clue. ’

One of Ian's mouths dries up.
