Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Chapter 259: Gluttony person and mint tea

I came to the gates of Freetia.

"Huh~. Huhu~h"

With Lily, Ribina and Bran...it was impossible to convince them to go with me, so they played rock-paper-scissors to see who would go with me and Lily won, which put me in a good mood.

Ribina and Bran can fly, so they'll be my guards and Hix will take over.

We took to the skies and headed for Verdure Village.

Then, a large number of monsters appeared below. I identify them.

Ghoul Lv13

Normal Monster Subjugation Target Active

I knew it was a ghoul...but I'm afraid I'm not going to go through with it. Cotton is calling us!

Good! I see Verdure Village!

That's when I thought about it. Suddenly, I felt a breeze behind me and Hix stopped moving.

"Ta, Takuto!? There's a strange wind from below"

"W, We can't go on!"

Ribina and Bran were right, there was a strange wind coming from below and we couldn't go on! What the hell is this!?

"I mean, were sucked in like that!?"

Ribina was right. I'm being sucked into something on the ground. And the power to be attracted gradually is getting stronger. This is bad!

"Hix, we're going down! Ribina, Bran, you go up!"

"All right!"

"Understood!"

As soon as we were separated, the force of attraction aimed at us.

As a result, Ribina and Bran are free.

"Yes! The suction is gone!"

"But the Lord is being targeted!"

Now that you're free, attack the enemy to stay out of suction range!

I gave them synchronized instructions and they found the enemy and attacked as instructed.

"Halo!"

Bran uses her halo. However, it has no effect on the mysterious enemy and we continue to be sucked in.

I also caught the enemy on sight.

Gluttony?

? ? ?

The enemy was a chubby ghoul, one size larger than a ghoul.

That Gluttony's belly opened up, creating a wind that sucked into its stomach.

Ribina's fascination didn't work and she had no choice but to attack physically.

"Deyaaaa! Ribina kick!"

Then Ribina's foot buries itself in Gluttony's skin and Gluttony's face looks at Ribina.

"Hey!? Wa, Wait...you're not going to eat me, are you?"

Gluttony's mouth opens in a way that is impossible for a human and Ribina's body is sucked into its mouth.

"Noooooo! I, It's going to eat me!? Hey! Bran! Help"

"I'm sorry"

"You leave me!? Noooo!"

Ribina's been sucked in. We're no strangers to this. Hix is nearing the end of his rope...there's got to be something we can do...

No items. No equipment. No money.

Game over in three stages.

I knew I shouldn't have gone out while in despena. Lily behind me called me and when I turned around, she smiled and said.

"Takuto...we'll be together when we die"

Lily has raised a death flag! We were sucked into Gluttony's stomach and returned to death.

I wake up in my bed and quickly log back in. I'm in despena to begin with, so despena is pointless.

Then I call everyone.

"Takuto! Bran has abandoned me!"

Ribina gets angry, but I defend Bran.

"Ribina, don't blame Bran...if she could have helped you, she would have. This time the fault lies with me for trying to go out there in a weakened state"

"Muu...if you say that, then we can't say anything because we were selfish too"

As everyone is depressed, I ask Bran"

"Bran...when do you think you can win without a trump card?"

"It's hard to say without seeing it in action. But if we can exploit the weakness the Lord found in that sucker, I think we can defeat it"

The weakness Bran refers to is that it can't move while it's inhaling. He's been targeting us for a long time. Then you can defeat it if you attack like before.

But there's something that worries me.

"First of all, it's a powerful enemy that I can't identify except by name. In addition, Ribina was defeated by another attack during its sucking attack. So, if you underestimate it and think it is defenseless, it will do the same thing again"

"You're right...I'll change my mind"

Yes. You need to change your perception first. That Gluttony is not a small fish. I don't know why he targeted me, but if it targeted the summoner, it's not stupid.

"I'd better share this information with everyone...there doesn't seem to be any conditions for its appearance and if it appears anywhere ghouls appear, we're in big trouble"

While I was doing that, Hephaestus came. He has a katana in his hand!

"Were you busy? The new forge is complete and I've been working on the katana you ordered..."

"It's okay. The new forge is finished, right?"

"Yes! It's suddenly a lot bigger and a bit uncomfortable, but it's very comfortable to use! Ah, would you like to come take a look?"

"Yes. I wonder if you can show me the katana in the new forge"

So we headed to Hephaestus's forge. It is a columnar house made of bricks. There is a chimney.

When I entered, I felt like I was in a forge. The basement of the house has been transformed into a house at once. It certainly feels spacious.

In case you're wondering, there's a bed here, too, at Hephaestus' request. He says he sleeps better when he's surrounded by weapons.

Well, everyone's tastes are different. If that's what he wants, I'll let him have it.

"Then, here is the finished katana. It's my first time, so please let me know if there's any concern"

"Ah. Koihi"

"Yes!"

We both received the katana. When I appraise it, it looks like this.

Liebling Silver Katana: Rarity 5, Katana, Quality D

Weight: 20 Durability: 55 Attack Power: 35

Additional Effect: Undead special attack (Large), Disables revival of undead

A katana made of silver. It is lighter than iron. The silvery blade attracts those who love katanas. However, compared to other swords, it does not specialize in cutting things. The emblem of the clan Liebling is burned into the katana's brim.

The first thing that struck me when I held it was how light it was. Considering the weight of the katana, it may be a little difficult to use.

The lighter it is, the faster it becomes, but at the same time, it loses power. This is also written in the appraisal results.

Pulling out the katana. The silvery blade is beautiful. It's more like a work of art than a weapon.

When I looked at Koihi, she was still twisting her neck.

"After all...it's no good..."

"The workmanship is superb, though. I'm still concerned about the weight"

"That's it!"

Koihi understood the discomfort and looked refreshed.

"The weight...but"

"I know. I'm the one who ordered it in silver. Hephaestus is not a bad guy. After all, a katana must be made of steel, right?"

If you want to be precise Japanese swords and swords made in Japan are made of steel made from iron sand or black sand.

I'm not sure if it can be produced by steel making or if it can be obtained as an item. However there is nothing I can do about it at the moment.

"For the time being, there seems to be no problem other than that, so let's use it"

"I'm also! Thank you very much!"

After thanking Hephaestus, we went to work on purifying the fields. If Gluttony comes out during the attack on the Young Tree Forest, it will be nothing short of troublesome.

Everyone doesn't show up, so I'll warn them by email. Since I'm on a mission, I accept the mint quest.

I was given 10 large buckets of mint along with some weeds. I look at them and want to say something.

Just pick the mint!

Well, it's a quest...so we all split up and get to work. Soon, an incident occurs.

"Lily-oneesama! Its weed!"

"Eh? Its mint. Setia-chan"

"It's weed no matter how you look at it! Ah!? Nowa and Ribina too!"

Setia stopped Nowa and Ribina.

"...They all look like weeds"

"I agree with Nowa!"

Lily, Nowa and Ribina couldn't tell the difference even though I taught them mint.

"Uh...my nose is turning..."

"I'm sorry, but I can't do it..."

"I can't smell the medicine either~..."

Koihi, Wako and Sephone are down because they can't smell the mint.

In the end, Ion, Setia, Ix, Lian, Bran, Luna, Iyuki and Mir worked together.

Then Mel and the others arrived. But there were not enough of them. Mirai and Keigo were not there. It looks like they're retreating. Mel and Rekka talked.

"Suddenly a huge rock came flying out of the sky..."

"I realized how scary a catapult is..."

More giants appeared and they rushed to escape. Mel confirms.

"The boss is Gigas, right?"

"If the data from the library is correct, then yes"

"Then maybe that rock was an attack by Gigas..."

That would explain the Giants sudden appearances. I'll explain about Gluttony as well.

"It looks like it was Gluttony who attacked us"

"Takuto thinks that Gluttony will show up at the release of the Young Tree Forest, right?"

"It's just a hunch. In the library, the monster that was supposed to appear in the Deep Red Wilderness appeared in a completely unrelated place. It just seems to mean something, you know"

Then Mel and the others laughed at me.

"Why are you laughing?"

"I'm sorry. I just think you've become a gamer"

Why are we talking about gamers? Rekka explains.

"What Takuto is feeling is a feature of this game. If you can feel it, then you're a great gamer"

Nugu...I wonder if that's how it works.

Then Mel pays attention to the large number of buckets.

"Perhaps that is mint!?"

"Yes. I found a quest at the Farming Guild. I took the quest because it's easy to make fresh mint tea"

"Hee~ That's right~"

Mel makes a sweet sound. That's not going to work for me.

"If you want it, buy it"

"Stingy! You know how I like my mint tea!"

Kayo-nee can't drink coffee, so she often drinks black tea or mint tea. She is a fan of blending.

I'm a coffee drinker, but I don't hate it, so I chose it this time. I'm even thinking of selling it to Mel.

While we're chatting, Ruin-san and friends arrive. They've found a quest that seems to be related to the Yellow Ossa Mountains.

That's great. It seems to be a quest to help a Fox Cerian Beast. A number of players have already found it and are doing the quest.

Mel and the others heard about it and will try it tomorrow. I paid Rekka to take me to Verdure Village tomorrow morning.

After completing the mint quest, I was given some mint seeds and mint tea leaves.

The first thing I did was to make mint tea for Lily and the others who were waiting for me.

Fresh Mint Tea: Rarity 3 Cooking Quality D

Effect: 10% fullness recovery, removes fear, removes fascination

Mint tea made from fresh mint. It has a calming effect.

This is an unexpected effect.

The girls had different tastes. The meat lovers don't like it, but the vegetables and fish lovers like it.

I took the money that Ruin-san had given me and treated everyone to a meal. Then Mel and Yuuna-san gave their impressions.

"Is it a bit harsh, fresh mint tea?"

"Yes, it is. But I think it can be fixed by brewing it better"

I'm sorry I'm not good at this! I'm a coffee lover! In case you were wondering, when Mel and the others brewed it, it was indeed delicious. But...

"The quality is low"

War broke out. In the midst of all this, Heliya, who was drinking with me, brewed a mint tea that had the same effect as mine and tasted better than Mel's. It was a disastrous defeat.

Defeated!

"Th, That...it's just a coincidence"

If I could make delicious mint tea by accident from the start, I would have no trouble. I'll ask Heliya to make mint tea from now on.

It was decided to break up for the day, so I just finished my production work and logged out.
