Chapter 147
Episode 147:
Fate Highlights #1 Degur defense battle!
It was Fate’s first and A-rank quest that could have an impact on the entire world, so it was no wonder that it beat the Siege of Veneta.
However, there was no way that general users could know the behind-the-scenes story that even the game master, Kim Seong-cheol, did not know.
-Cheer up! We can do it!
-Ugh. It hurts.
-Avoid!
“Aren’t you crazy? “What makes you look so cute?!”
“oh my god! “Wouldn’t that be a big problem?”
“More than that, what exactly are they?”
The appearance of the Dongle tribe fighting desperately with shovels and pickaxes.
That cute battle was enough to focus the attention of everyone watching Fate Highlights.
But it’s still too early to be surprised.
-Cheer up, Exchi!
“…Didn’t you just say X?”
X, the main character of the Siege of Veneta, ranked 2nd in the highlight, has appeared again!
It wasn’t the users’ mistake. The man who appeared next was wearing X’s trademark dark armor.
Everyone couldn’t help but be shocked.
“Taking 1st and 2nd place in Fate Highlights at the same time?!”
“Isn’t this a record that will never be broken until the end of King Seopjong?”
“Hey, the X battle has begun!”
“…What are those tentacle monsters?”
X confronts unidentified and unknown enemies!
X’s movements were on a different level. The battle method using basic skills has not changed, but the power contained in the attack is beyond imagination!
“Wow, you can endure something that even Songwol couldn’t endure?”
“But X is X. “He doesn’t look the least bit distracted among those monsters.”
“It looks like you received a special buff or something.”
Heavenly cuisine! It is a heavenly cooking effect that only X knows about.
It goes without saying that users cannot guess. I just assumed it was a limited buff given to quest performers.
Nevertheless, the combat power shown by X was enormous.
Because I ran through all the monsters that appeared to be at least level 600!
The angle of the screen also showed an intensive close-up of X’s battle.
At the end of the highlight, cheers of victory erupted.
-I won!
X and the Dongle tribe shouting hurray.
Clear the quest after a fierce struggle.
Although X was the one who cleared the quest, X was not the main character.
That’s because the Dongle tribe’s appearance was so cute that it was revolutionary!
“I would like to meet. “I want to touch those chubby cheeks.”
“It must be a new species, right? “Then won’t we be able to see it soon?”
“Where on earth can I go to see it?!”
The response was truly explosive.
Of course, opinions were divided about X’s combat power and the appearance of high-level monsters that were difficult to even understand.
However, compared to the attention being paid to the Dongle tribe, it was a small issue! Various speculations about the Dongle tribe arose in the community.
The answer was already vague.
-Wow, what X said was true!
-I don’t think I’ll ever be able to argue with X again.
-That’s right. Since they talked about jobs, I thought they were just talking about quests… but I never thought the ghost story of the Forest of Old Trees was connected to the animal protection quest!
-As expected, the X of trust.
The ghost story of the Forest of Old Trees was connected to the animal protection quest. What X said on his personal broadcast has been reexamined!
Even though the Dongle tribe talked, walked and acted like humans, their appearance was no different from that of rodents.
X’s sly lie had unintentionally become the truth.
“Hehehe.”
X, who had accessed Fate, smiled sinisterly.
Successful A-rank quest with enormous influence.
I had a guess, but when I watched the Fate highlights at the gym, I couldn’t help but be shocked.
Before the residents were brought to Xernis, there was no good news about the existence of the tunnels and the Round Clan.
‘As expected, privacy must be protected.’
However, I was able to ease my worries thanks to the amazingly edited video focusing on intense battles.
In fact, users didn’t find out much information other than the fact that the Dongle tribe was extremely cute.
“Is things progressing smoothly?”
X returned to Xernis with lighter steps than ever.
Wa da da da. Uddangtangtang.
As soon as I entered Xernis, I saw the Dongle tribe diligently engaged in restoration work.
X shouted.
“So soft!”
“X-chi, long time no see…?”
“You cute guy!”
In an instant, I grabbed Malang’s plump cheek.
‘As expected, my hunch was right.’
Malang looked sullen and puzzled, but X did not easily turn the cheek.
‘With this, there’s no need to worry about users turning away!’
To be honest, Xernis was like a remote island right now. As eons passed, it came to be located in the northernmost part of the Arba continent.
Moreover, the continent is large and there are areas that are only now beginning to be revealed.
Even if you have a high-level hunting ground and a developed civilization, there is no way for users to spend gold if there are no proper elements to appeal.
“X, is there something on my cheek?”
“Yeah, it just seems like it’s all over the place.”
However, there was a Dongle tribe in Xernis. This is the Dongle group that is causing a huge stir among users.
It seemed like there would be a lot of users who would come to Xernis just to see the Dongle tribe, beyond the mascot.
There are literally no special blessings!
Struggling. Malang shook his body.
“luck? Okay, stop it. “I’ve been really busy.”
“Good. “Still, take some rest.”
“Why do you rest? Restoring a building is such an easy task for us Dongle people. Well, it’s something new so it seems like a fun game!”
Beings that you cannot hate unless you want to hate them!
Part of me wanted to pinch the cheeks of all the Dongle people I could see, but I shouldn’t get in the way.
X came to his senses and began managing the territory.
‘There is room for residential buildings to be restored later. Because it doesn’t take a long time. After all, it would be a good idea to expand basic facilities in advance.’
The inventory was solid, but that wasn’t the place to spend gold on a binge. As efficiently as possible!
I put my mind to work and scheduled a new task.
Slurp. X walked through Xernis along the flowing waterway.
‘It will take quite some time for the glacier to completely melt.’
The currently revealed area of Xernis was similar to Veneta.
My heart pounded as I imagined what kind of spectacle would unfold when this glacier completely melted.
X clenched his fists.
“We can’t just play around until then.”
Actually, there was nothing special to do.
There was no need to level up, nor was there a lack of gold.
However, like the Dongle people, X has the personality of not being able to leave his body alone!
X slowly began to warm up.
‘There are many ingredients I haven’t tried yet, so let’s focus on cooking today while exploring the surrounding fields!’
It was something that could only be done until the immigrants from Xernis arrived.
X, who was heading to the field, suddenly stopped. I felt a subtle but familiar presence.
“…!”
X turned his head and his expression brightened.
Flap flutter. A white paper crane waving its wings. Soon a gentle voice was heard.
-It’s been a while, X!
“It’s been a while, Master!”
Great Sage Sioras visited Xernis.
*
The paper crane was shaking.
-I think I have a good disciple. What a beautiful land and cute people! It makes me want to run right away.
Sioras admired the scenery of Xernis. He also couldn’t hide his satisfied smile at his student’s progress.
Not only did he make the ancient kingdom his territory, but he would never have thought that he would move a race he had never seen before as his residents!
“It’s all thanks to Master’s help.”
Sioras burst out laughing at X’s response, which was a mix of flattery and humility.
-haha. I like how consistent you are. Has anything more special happened so far? There’s a lot to talk about here, but I’d like to hear the story of my one and only disciple first.
“Why not?”
X briefly explained what had happened.
The fact that the white mask we met in the Desert of Oblivion infiltrated the Kingdom of Arva as a shaman and even protected the runestone of the underground city of Degur against the contaminated creatures.
A sigh flowed from the paper crane.
-…As expected, they were wrapped up in the royal family. The more I think about it, the more horrible they are. What is the reason for seeking destruction even at the cost of hundreds of millions of lives?
X, who was listening, responded.
“That will have to be revealed gradually.”
The purpose of worshipers and other beings! Even if I didn’t know it right away, I felt like there was a story of its own.
As you keep other beings in check, information about them will naturally accumulate.
The paper crane nodded.
-Yes, the war will begin in earnest from now on. The fight between those who want to destroy the world and those who want to protect it… You can’t let down your guard at all times.
X knew. Just as you can feel the energy of other beings, other beings will also guess your existence. Plus, there was Zawl’s experience.
‘Well, you probably know that Xernis’ rune stone has been purified.’
X, who was thinking, raised the corners of his mouth.
“of course! “No matter what happens, I never miss a bite.”
Xernis cannot be handed over to anyone!
There is still a long way to go before you can recover the gold you invested. Even if it was something else, it was no exception.
-Haha, that’s still a powerful answer. Then let me tell you my story…
“Wait a minute, Master!”
No, there was still something left to ask. The paper crane nodded at X’s shout.
Juseomjuseom. X, who was searching through his inventory, took out a leaf. The paper crane flinched.
-Isn’t this the leaf of the world tree?
“You knew it!”
The leaves of the World Tree that I received from Denise! It was a legendary item, a leaf said to have fallen from the legendary World Tree.
After contemplating for a while whether to eat it or not, X decided to ask Sioras.
When I told the story about the leaves, the paper crane shook its head.
-X You really are unpredictable. To meet ‘them’ on this earth….
“They?”
Sioras seemed to know something, but delayed answering.
-X I don’t think I need to step forward for this matter. Because the right call will come at the right time. Keep that leaf as a token of promise.
‘Can’t you just tell me?’
I was so curious that words came to my lips, but I held back.
There was a reason why Sioras said things like that.
Soon Sioras continued speaking.
“You must have been really busy.”
As befits his title of great sage, Sioras has shown tremendous accomplishments in a short period of time.
Not only purifying the rune stones of the eastern continent, but also fighting against the worshipers who were trying to stop him.
-The worshipers had powers that I alone could not handle. It is an alien and destructive ability of another being.
Without their help, I wouldn’t have been able to have this conversation with you.
Here they are heroes of the past!
X asked coyly.
“Are you still amazing even after all these years?”
Actually, it was a question I didn’t know whether to ask. This is a workplace of some of the strongest people in the world who can help Sioras and fight against the worshipers.
Since he already had some free time, X planned to follow their footsteps.
Because I felt like there was something I could achieve.
-Of course, they are all alive and well despite the years. Still, it’s not as good as it was in its prime.
Oh, now that I think about it, there were some people who really wanted to meet you…
“Where do you live? “We’ll leave right away!”
fell. Congo water!
X answered with amazing reaction speed.
Sioras opened his mouth at the bright look in X’s eyes.
-Actually, I don’t really recommend that you meet them. Even I get tired when I deal with them.
Moreover, I know that you are a descendant of the Gourmet King…
Isn’t this the Gourmet King who suddenly disappeared without a trace or news?
Judging from Sioras’ unfavorable reaction, it seemed like they, like Ligrien, had bad feelings toward the Gourmet King.
Perhaps he wanted to see himself as the target of his anger.
However, X was not the type to get scared and back down.
‘I learned denial of death from Ligrien.’
Isn’t this meeting likely to give you a skill equivalent to denial of death?
Burning fire! X’s eyes began to burn with greed.
“Do not worry. “If there are any feelings left between them, shouldn’t it be something that I, as the only successor, have to deal with? So where do you live?”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
