Chapter 197
Episode 197
: Roaring!
When the effect of heavenly cooking is activated, your steps become lighter.
Let’s see, are the sub-skills for combat? After checking the notification, X finished cleaning up and got up.
One of the best dinners in a long dwarf life! Burkandal, whose cheeks were flushed from the heat in his stomach, opened his mouth.
“I don’t know how long it’s been since I last had such hearty and delicious food. “I think you know how you became acquainted with Mandrion?”
“Haha, I paid a little bribe out of my poor skills.”
“How humble. “Then shall we move slowly now?”
Hunting time!
Border Guardian Burkandal was an expert in the Black Zone. Not only did he know about dangerous areas that other dwarves did not know about, but he also remembered the locations of several named monsters.
Burkandal began to move busily.
“Of course I can’t be away for a long time. “I would like to join you in tracking down the evil cult, but as you know, I have a mission.”
His finger pointed towards the Black Fairy’s pond.
What Burkandal took out was a mechanical device made of iron. It was about the size of a human and had something similar to a crossbow mounted on the top.
X was shocked.
‘It’s very elaborate.’
A level not seen on the Arba continent! Indeed, the dwarves’ technology was not ordinary.
When the mainspring was turned, the mechanical device began to move in a precise manner.
It seemed like he could fill the role of watchdog vacated by Burkandal to some extent.
Suddenly, memories of the past pass by.
‘…Was it in the Stargazing Plain?’
It reminded me of the giant soldiers from the ancient kingdom that I met when I liberated the ancient kingdom’s vengeful spirit.
Ancient kingdoms where numerous races interacted and created brilliant civilizations.
Slowly, the corners of X’s mouth began to rise.
‘Well, there’s nothing Xernis can’t do, right?’
How many races are gathered right now?
Restoring the civilization of Xernis that I saw in my fantasy would not be a dream.
Therefore, it was necessary to recruit more dwarves in advance. Burkandal is no exception.
“Ex, you look like you have deep knowledge of martial arts.”
“no. “There is still a long way to go.”
“Hehe, well, you’ll figure it out when you see it.”
Burkandal was secretly looking forward to X.
I will win Burkandal’s favor through hunting! When X enters a forest full of only tree stumps, he
starts screaming! A notification rang.
[You have discovered the ‘Tomb of Broken Life’ for the first time in Fate World!]
First of all, you have received the first discovery buff.
The moment X looked around, he saw something sparkling on the blackened ground in the distance.
Slut! As soon as I realized it, a sharp metallic sound was heard.
“!”
X reflexively bowed his back. I can hear the wind cracking above my head.
When I turned my head, Burkandal seemed to be fine thanks to his short stature.
The two-handed ax he was holding gained strength.
“Wow, this is the guy I lost several times after struggling desperately.”
Glitter!
As he got closer, a figure obscured by light began to appear. In short, it looked like it had come down from outer space.
Its sharply forged forelimbs and elongated torso were clearly that of a gigantic mantis, but its body was shining brightly, as if it were wrapped in silver foil.
Kyaaaaaaa!
It was only when he touched the ground with his front leg that the information came to mind.
“platinum?”
Eyes that are so wide!
In pate, the mineral treated as more precious than gold was platinum.
It was platinum foil, not silver foil. As I thought about the loot he would spit out, I started to get even more excited.
Burkandal warned X.
“He’s not an ordinary guy. “You can’t let your guard down.”
“Of course I will.”
Burkandal was planning to settle the matter today. He muttered lowly.
“I never thought such a monster would appear in an abandoned platinum mine. But today is the end of your outbursts, you guy.”
“Pear platinum mine?”
“okay. This guy is a variant born from the two conflicting energies of the land of the dwarves and the pond of the black fairy. “There are more than one such guys, but the problem is that they were born from platinum.”
The birth process of a monster!
That was information that was either good to know or not. Because it doesn’t change the fact that you’re going to get hit anyway.
What is important is that there is a platinum mine near where this guy appears.
‘Okay, if you want to make something, you need ingredients.’
Could it be that the dwarven land is a blessed land overflowing with various natural minerals? At that moment, an astronomical amount of gold begins to flow before your eyes. My mouth is watering.
X opened his mouth in a serious voice.
“I will first sort out the obstructionists. “Please tell me the details later!”
chuck.
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised the Titan’s arrow.
The platinum harvester was smart.
The reason he fought to the death against the strongest dwarf, Burkandal, was because he took advantage of the differences in his body.
It used to use its long outstretched front legs to tease Burkandal from a distance.
But today I met the wrong person.
Sigh! It was a strike like a thunderbolt.
[Fatal blow!]
It was an overwhelming destructive force.
Mastering the Basic Skills Not only that, there were no monsters even on the Severed Continent that could stop X, who was equipped with the legendary grade item Titan’s Arrow!
One room.
As soon as a huge wind hole opened in its platinum body, it began to collapse.
What am I seeing? Burkandal looked at X and the guy in turn with a dumbfounded look on his face.
Now that the disruptor is gone, let’s get to the point. X asked with a grin.
“So where did you say the platinum mine was?”
*
Land of the Dwarves!
Even though I received the blessing as expected, it was not all that I received.
X could hardly contain his excitement at the story told by Burkandal.
I folded my fingers one by one and organized the information.
‘There are thousands of mines that have not been developed because they are not needed. As if that were not enough, gold and platinum are treated as ordinary minerals, and there are also dream minerals that only appear in legends.’
In fact, it was X who had made some predictions.
The difficulty level of the Hammer Quest was only C Rank, but the reward was an odd amount of gold bars.
I thought gold ingots weren’t treated very well in the land of dwarves, but I didn’t expect it to be like this.
Burkandal was excited in a different sense.
“Well, just because I can only see what you see, I was underestimating your power. “You have already reached the point where you will become a legend!”
There is a distinctly different weight between being recognized by a village chief and being recognized by the strongest dwarf. Of course, there was no way X could hear the high praise right now.
“There are more than three rock iron mines that have been closed down due to lack of need…” The
Thier family, which was reborn as the richest person on the continent with just one rock iron mine, comes to mind.
My fists gained strength. I don’t know about other places, but the dwarven land will not be taken away by anyone.
X’s sparkling eyes!
However, I did not forget about the runestone.
‘It must be thanks to the runestone’s blessing that we were able to possess so many minerals.’
If you look closely, each region you pass through has its own distinct characteristics.
The Spirit Forest was overflowing with spirits, the Giant Mountain Range had huge rocky mountains and everything else, and the Dwarf Land was just like I said.
At this point, questions inevitably arose.
‘There are rune stones on the Arba continent too.’
On the Arba continent, there were few areas with distinct characteristics like the disconnected continent. Even if there was, it only affected a very small part. X licked his lips with regret.
‘Even if the Xernis Rune Stone looks half as good as this.’
After complaining about being full, X packed the loot into his inventory.
Since I defeated the guy born from platinum, it was natural that platinum came out.
-Platinum ingot (rare)
Shiny platinum.
It is expensive enough to be exchanged for a building.
“Good.”
“Is even platinum considered precious where you come from?”
“Yes, it is quite valuable.”
“Heh, if you value something like platinum, you’ll faint when you see the mine in the safe zone.”
“Are you just going to pass out?”
It will literally turn your eyes upside down!
I felt like I could suck on proper honey in the land of the dwarves.
Since then, X has worked with Burkandal to clean up the border area.
In fact, Burkandal had nothing to do.
Sigh!
“Oh no. “One shot again?”
Sigh!
“Something just passed by!”
Puk puk!
“Guo has a knack for martial arts. “You really are.”
Practical, compressed hunting where you only catch named monsters!
Huge experience points and loot were essential, and every time he showed off his overwhelming power, you could feel Burkandal’s favorability skyrocketing.
“Thanks to you, I got to see this rare sight.”
“I don’t know what to do with all the praise.”
“What a high compliment. “I’m just telling the truth.”
braided!
The two returned to the guard post near the border and clinked beer glasses. Burkhandal had opened his beloved beer barrel.
As expected, going over the neck was no joke.
Tiroling!
[Heavenly taste has discovered the hidden taste of ‘Dwarf Special Dark Beer’!]
[Maximum mana increases by 200 points!]
[Agility increases by 1 point!]
[Intelligence increases by 2 points!]
Various stories and Awesome snack that fills you up quickly! X was fine thanks to his heavenly taste, but Burkandal was slowly getting drunk.
“Hehe, it’s not a joke? If you are you, you will definitely be able to achieve harmony between the Arba Continent and the Severed Continent… No, if you don’t understand, just use force…”
Grumble.
Contrary to appearance, Burkandal was weak in alcohol. This unintentionally caused the border guardian to fall asleep.
Since I couldn’t stay away forever, it was X’s responsibility to be on watch today.
X left the guard post and took care of his chores.
“This is a truck that’s just piled up.”
Inventory full of ingredients!
Even if I ate it, I ate it again and again, so the amount hardly decreased.
When a decision is needed. First of all, things that could be dried needed to be dried to reduce their volume.
“This is also amazing at drying.”
Holy relic shining tree branch!
Use this precious sacred object to dry food ingredients. It is a scene that has nothing to say even if a religious group accuses it of blasphemy. But where can there be religion on a disconnected continent?
“There is a God who can be clearly seen.”
World tree!
When I thought of that word, a brilliant image flashed before my eyes again.
As I thought of sweet peach juice, my thoughts also reached ‘something’ with white fur.
Suddenly, X muttered.
“What is it really?”
I couldn’t even guess yet if it was a monster or an NPC.
But one thing is clear: isn’t that white something staying near the World Tree? It’s clear that he’s an unusual guy.
“I will definitely get involved.”
I will meet you again somehow!
There was still a lot of work to do, but I was just adding goals.
It wasn’t long before Burkandal woke up. He scratched his head and said, as if blaming himself for forgetting his mission because he was drunk.
“This is the only way to lose face.”
“I didn’t know you were that bad at drinking?”
“Hehe, even if you like it, there’s a reason you refrain from it.”
The two became close enough to laugh at jokes!
Burkandal is renowned among dwarves for being majestic and difficult to deal with. If Mandol and other dwarves saw it, they would have been shocked.
X got up and finished preparing the ingredients.
“How would you like to go again?”
“Hmm, there is nothing more enjoyable than watching you hunt.”
Burkhandal stroked his beard, perhaps lost in thought. Then he continued speaking.
“Ex, I’m asking because I think you might be able to do it. “Can you please work hard for us dwarves? Of course, I will definitely repay you in my name.”
Tiroling!
The impact of explosive intimacy.
An unexpected quest came to mind.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
