535 Discover Machine Civilization (3)

* * *

Ian asks Vanessa a few questions while moving to the Plain of Wind.

And I was able to find out more interesting things than I expected.

“So this guy we're riding.... You mean the New Dragon of the Earth? ”

In Ian's question, Vanessa was arrogant.) I nodded with a smile.

“That's right, Ian. He's the one who broke all the Savior of Earth quests and received the final reward. It was a unique Super Hidden quest that I received directly from the God of the Earth. ”

“Th-they said? ”

“But now that this quest is no longer available, if you want Cortus, you'd better fold it now. ”

In Vanessa's story, Ian looks curious.

“Why? You got it from a German server. I'm a Korean server. Our Korean server doesn't have any users yet who have the new dragon of the earth. ”

Vanessa snaps her fingers and opens her mouth again.

“Nevertheless, the conclusion remains the same. ”

“Why?”

“By the time the World War Episode is over, you won't get the 'Blessing of the Earth’ quest. ”

Ian nods slowly, hearing Vanessa's story.

It was also because he understood her words, but in fact he was thinking about something else.

Vanessa's story led to some interesting facts.

Ian brings out one fact that was deep in his memory.

‘The new dragon of the earth of the Korean server... …. His name wasn't Cortus. ’

In fact, when he first saw this dragon, Ian remembered the new dragon of the earth.

Dragons with beautiful scales of dark green were only the new dragons of the earth that I had seen briefly in the Dimensional War.

But after I heard the name "Cortus," I thought it wasn't a new dragon on Earth.

In the Korean server, the name of the new dragon of the earth is not Cortus, but Milaica.

‘Then every server has the same name, but different names and identities. ’

Then I had the wrong idea in Ian's head.

"If you can meet new dragons on other servers in Dragon Springs, you can take two of the same new dragons?" ’

Ian's mouth was opened again.

Because I have one more question.

“Vanessa, then. ”

“Huh?"

“Do you remember the name of the goddess of the earth? ”

With Ian's question, Vanessa's eyebrows narrow slightly.

It was quite a long time ago, so it didn't come to mind.

“Hmm? No, I don't remember his name. ”

“I see.”

“But I can tell you one thing for sure. ”

“ ……? ”

“There is no goddess of the earth. The God of the Earth in my memory was definitely a man. ”

“Huh?"

Ian's two eyes sparkled slightly as he was talking.

I didn't hear the answer to the question, but now I know what I was curious about.

And the hypothesis seemed to fit.

‘If the God of the earth is a man.... He must be different from the god of the Korean server. ’

At the time of the Dimensional War, Ian was the user at the center of the episode more than anyone else.

He remembered specifically all the gods that had appeared.

And the God of the earth, in Ian's memory, was definitely a female.

Goddess of Earth, San Diana.

Ian had seen her right in front of him.

‘That way, every single server, every single god that controls the human race, will be individualized.' ’

In a conversation with Vanessa, Ian felt a little more contoured about the world view.

In the meantime, Ian's group is able to arrive at their destination.

- Tyring!

- Entering the Plain of Wind.

- The winds are rising.

- From now on, Wind Spirit exerts more power.

- From now on, attack magic with ‘wind' attributes is more powerful.

-From now on, the spirit of the 'Wind' attribute accumulates as fast as 50 percent.

After checking the system messages, Ian mutters to himself, rethinking his appetite.

‘Ugh, I wish I had a Wind Spirit now. ’

I jumped off Cortus' back with a light gesture.

Blame!

Then Ralph, who arrived first, approaches Ian.

“My friend, this is your first time here, right? ”

“That's right.”

“Then, from now on, I'll explain our plan. ”

Ian, who met Ralph's eyes, slowly nodded and replied.

“Well, first... Let's hear it. ”

* * *

It may seem obvious, but Ian wasn't the only one who was wary of strangers.

Ralph's group talks a lot while they get to the Plain of Wind.

- Do you know any of them?

- You know what? None of the three.

- Ralph: But they must be rankers... No one you know?

Ralph, are there two rankers on the server? I think he's a mid-level three-digit ranker. How do you know that?

- Yes, Ralph. According to the statistics, there are now more than 1,000 users over level 400... It's a summoner's level of 400, which is rare, but there are many levels of knights and wizards.

- Ralph: Well...

- And Ralph, that knight said that.

- What?

- Inisko: You're lucky you woke up on some special quest.

- I did.

- I think the summoner's twin girl, she's probably not even level 400.

- Ralph: That... Runga?

- Of course. I know most of the top rankers of summoners, but none of them were girls like that.

- Well, Inisco's right. If you think about it, maybe the other two friends would be right to see it as a level 300 reverse.

Ralph's group tries to get to know Ian's party in their own way and comes to some kind of conclusion.

The conclusion, of course, was quite remote from the facts.

Ralph: Hmm……. That's a little vague.

- Ambiguous? What do you mean?

- Guys, I don't think it's a burden.

- Chest: Jim... I'm sure it is.

- Inisko: Well, it's possible. There's no way a proper ranker can deliver one serving.

- I don't think so.

Hmm, yeah?

- Muel: If it was human, it would be a huge difference in levels, so it would be a burden, but this is the middle ground.

- That's right.

- Muelle: What level of transcendence would it be, and it wouldn't make a big difference to our power?

- Inisko: Hey, Muelle. That's not true.

- Yeah. Inisko's right.

- Why?

- Ralph: Levels and staffels, of course, are important, but there will be too many physical differences.

- That's right. Even with the same ranker, it's a little difficult to compare us with three-digit rankers. It may be helpful in the Plain of Wind, but the moment you enter the valley, it'll only be a burden.

-Muel: Hmm...

- That's right, Muel. I'm just playing party with those guys in the Abyssal Valley and I'm clapping my hands and feet and twisting my skills so they can all get killed together.

And the wrong conclusion has become Ralph's party's biggest mistake.

- But once we get him here, we're gonna have to use him somehow.

- That's right, brother. I'm a little embarrassed to be moving around on my own now that I'm not qualified.

Doesn't that mean you can give them a ride on the bus? We don't even have enough content to split up. Are you planning on sharing it with those kids?

- Of course not.

-Muel: …….

- So what do we do?

- I have a good idea.

- What's that, brother?

- In the valley of the Abyss. You remember, right?

- Of course. We were robbed and returned to the Frost Cave.

- Chesk: ……!

- Ralph: Leave that monster over there to them.

- Oh, that's a good idea.

And through that gap, we cross the Abyssal Valley.

* * *

We didn't know what they were thinking about each other.

Separate from him, the party play went smoothly.

After all, the purpose of crossing the plains of wind was to share, so there would be no conflict.

And interestingly, Ian was fulfilling the role of the tanker.

Without summoning just one.

“Ian, cover Chesk! ”

“Ian, let's go right through the middle! Lead on!”

Bloody Levangie in your right hand and Earring Shield in your left hand.

Ian, with his hands full of mythologically-rated transcendent equipment, was playing a game that no one could believe was a knight.

Boom-boom-!

- You have successfully blocked the shield!

- You absorbed 93.35 percent of the power of 'Windslash'!

- HP reduced by 12!

- The 'Fury of the Dragon’ ability is triggered.

- Increases attack by 0.5 percent.

The biggest role of a knight-class user could be to say, "How much damage can one person sustain on his own?"

And the prerequisite for that role was the ability to control the shield.

Even with the same level of defense and vitality, the total amount of damage that could be sustained varies by 10 million.

A well-controlled technician prevents most attacks from absorbing more than 80 percent, whereas a 50 percent defensive absorption rate was often too poor for a physically fallen technician.

Even with the same equipment and stats, there can be more than twice the efficiency difference depending on the control.

And the shield control skills of the knight user are too obvious.

It was because special effects were triggered according to the damage absorption rate of the shield blockage.

It was like a residual wave spreading out through the grain of the shield, which was the effect of absorbing more than 70 percent of the damage.

Especially when the damage absorption rate of more than 90 percent is triggered, a blue and colorful wave spreads.

So if anyone knows about these systems, it's too easy to recognize the skills of a knight-class user.

Pa-a-a-a-a-a-a-ah!

In Ian's shield, an elongated blue wave spreads.

And Sarah, who found it in the back, thought to herself, holding out her tongue.

‘You can't be all that good at Korean rankers, can you? I can't believe this guy even though I saw him. ’

The scent of a blue wave, even if it was shown to me by a real knight class.

But the summoner was showing it, which is ridiculous for Sarah.

- Sister.

- Yeah?

- They believe Ian is a real knight class.

- Well, wouldn't you?

- Vanessa: Well... I wouldn't believe it if I were you, not in knight-class.

- Sarah: Me too…….

- No matter how much you look at it, it's not a person.

- That's right. How can that be a person? A monster.

- Yes, yes.

Two sisters who work hard as 1: 1 messengers while playing party.

And it wasn't just Sarah and Vanessa that surprised Ian.

Ralph's parties have been talking to each other in their own private chat rooms.

- Chesk: Ralph, those guys……. You're not as good as I thought you were.

Hmm, is that so?

The twin sisters are pretty good, but Ian is a real piece of work, man.

- Definitely one shield control.

- Right?

- But that's it. Looks like even knight-only skills aren't working properly, and they're still trying to solve everything with shield control.

- Inisko: Well, maybe I like the shield too much, maybe I'm relying too much on it.

While they were having different dreams in the same place, time passed quickly.

While continuing to break through the Plains of Wind, killing the spirits without rest, three or four hours passed.

And then one day.

At last, the end begins to appear in the plain of the wind, where it seemed so vast.

At the end, a deep, dark valley of massive rocks awaits the group.
