BJ Archmage - Chapter 252
Chapter 252. < Episode 81. Don't give up (3). >
– BJ Grand Mage received a lot of money from Azmo!
ㄴDon’t just take things for granted.
Rumors of a transaction between BJ Grand Mage and Azmo have now become a fait accompli.
Such rumors were immediately followed by new rumors.
– I heard that BJ Grand Mage is making money in Meteorite City?
Rumor has it that BJ Grand Mage will invest the money he received from Azmo in a spec-up in Meteorite City.
– No, do you have anything to upgrade?
– That’s right, you already got all of the items and skills, right?
In fact, it was a rumor that would not go anywhere else.
BJ Archmage’s specs were already better than any other player in the history of God Wars.
– I don’t know if it’s a meteorite city.
– All right. It’s a city of blacksmiths, right?
– Is it Lucky City for nothing? maybe there’s something
However, the fact that the next destination was a meteorite city gave weight to rumors that would normally have been ignored.
It was around that time.
“Look over there!”
“You are finally here!”
Midas appeared at the place where those who walk the path of pioneers gather.
Of course, the attention of all the players gathered at the appearance of BJ Grand Mage was focused.
“Silver!”
“Gold Hyena Silver!”
“…. Can’t we just give Gold the gold hyena’s body? Confusing.”
Among them, the one that immediately caught the attention of the players was Silver, who obtained the body of a gold hyena.
“It was my wish to see a gold hyena, but now I see it like this.”
Gold Hyena was the dream of every player in the pioneer land.
Strange things if you can’t turn your eyes.
Naturally, there was no choice but to pay less attention to Gold and Lucky than usual.
“Ah, now BJ Lucky is buried.”
“BJ Gold-nim is immediately pushed aside by his juniors.”
“Uh, who’s that over there? Is it a new face?”
“No, it’s BJ Grand Mage.”
“Ayy, someone else did it.”
Even more so, Midas’ presence was bound to be less than usual.
However, Midas did not care about such an atmosphere.
No, rather set it on fire.
“Silver.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Prepare for the Silver Tour.”
Silver Tour Immediately upon hearing that word, the eyes of the players around him changed.
Silver’s eyes were the same.
yes?
As if not understanding Midas’ meaning, Silver kept her eyes wide open and lowered her head to Gold, who was close to her, and asked a question quietly.
“Senior, senior! What did the master say just now?”
Gold answered that question right away.
“That’s great! It’s great anyway.”
“Oh, I see.”
Of course, no one paid any attention to the conversation between the two guardians.
Everyone only cares about one thing.
‘I want to ride the silver tour too.’
‘Please let me win the silver tour.’
I just want to be with BJ Grand Mage on the road to Meteorite City.
In that interest, Midas spoke.
“Okay then, let’s go to the party at random.”
8.
Pioneer Path.
The road that graduates from the pioneer land have to walk to reach the next stage, Meteorite City, was quite difficult enough to easily cause a game over, just like other stages have done so far.
“shit!”
“You fucking sand dust!”
First of all, the first trouble players encounter on the pioneer path was the existence of sand dust and sandstorms that blow incessantly.
“A storm is coming!”
The rising dust obscured the view, and the occasional sandstorm was powerful enough to stop everyone in their tracks.
And if you got caught up in the storm and got lost, it was like game over at that moment.
Whoa!
Of course, the most troublesome thing was the monsters attacking the players through the dust.
“The herd of stone elephants is coming!”
Among those monsters, the most troublesome was the group of stone elephants.
First of all, the stone elephant itself was a very difficult monster.
The fact that it was the same size as an elephant was already burdensome, but the body was made of hard stone and even its ivory was made of steel.
They even used to form groups of four or five.
“Damn it, it’s a stone elephant!”
“For now, tankers stick!”
“Ah, it’s hard to stop something like a stone elephant…. .
For players who have just visited Meteorite City, it is a distant opponent beyond a burdensome level.
“uh? It’s a damn storm!”
“Be careful not to blow the healers and marksmen!”
“Put a stake in and deal!”
Even more so, the sense of crisis that players feel when the aforementioned elements overlap at the same time goes beyond that when facing a middle boss monster.
Of course, there are always exceptions in the world.
“everyone!”
Now Midas was an exception.
“Sandstorms and stone elephants are coming!”
At Midas’ cry, the 49 players who were to walk the path of pioneers with him immediately formed a line and nodded while looking at each other.
“Now everyone, get ready!”
Midas shouted at the players who were ready to do something like that.
“Start cheering!”
“Silver fighting!”
“Cheer up, Silver!”
Then, as if they had waited, the players started cheering for Silver with all their might.
It was an unusual sight for anyone to see.
Krrr!
However, Silver’s appearance made the cheer seem normal.
That was about it.
Kwang!
Silver’s presence in the face of stone elephants and sandstorms was overwhelming to make the cheering common sense.
Right away, Silver’s size was different.
The gold hyena’s body, which was originally bigger than a fair amount of elephants, was as gigantic as three or four giant stone elephants put together.
The size difference between silver and stone elephants is the difference between a big kid and an adult.
Whoa!
Of course, the sandstorm that raged on Silver, who had such a huge body, was nothing more than a tickle.
Its destructive power was also different.
Quaang!
“oh my god!”
“The stone elephant falls over!”
It was enough to knock down a stone elephant, which is usually in a hurry to block, with a single headbutt!
“This is the first time I’ve ever seen a stone elephant fall over like a child!”
“The Silver Tour is awesome!”
“Wow, it really looks like a savannah meadow tour.”
It was to the point where the player sincerely exclaimed in exclamation in front of a scene he had never seen before.
Of course, Silver’s performance alone did not end everything.
Boo Woo!
The stone elephant is a monster with strong defense and HP enough to be classified as a middle boss level monster! It wasn’t a monster that could be caught by knocking it down with a mere head-butt.
Moreover, unlike what it looks like, the stone elephant was quite agile and flexible.
thud!
Not befitting his massive body, the guy got up right away the moment he fell and aimed his ivory like a spear made of steel with a more powerful appearance than before he fell.
Pooh!
If he rushed like this, he would not be able to avoid it from the position of the big silver.
That was also Silver’s weakness.
that it is too big.
From the standpoint of attacking in many ways, there was no target that was easier to hit than this.
Of course, the countermeasure has already been made.
thud! thud! thud! thud!
Four blaze golems!
Those with a size and a sense of weight that were not lacking compared to the stone elephants knocked the stone elephants up again.
Quaang!
The sound of huge boulders hitting each other echoed through the sandstorm.
The sound of the blow was so intense.
Pooh!
However, the blow to the stone elephant did not seem that great.
After all, it’s a middle boss level monster!
Although the Blaze Golem was strong, it was not a monster that would be helplessly pushed back by an ordinary attack.
Poo!
The stone elephants withstood the attacks of the blaze golems and counterattacked at the same time.
I swung my nose like a whip.
Quaang!
There was a roar that could be heard when blasting in a mine.
Fuck!
Amidst the roar, the Blaze Golem’s body shattered and scattered in all directions.
It looks like the Blaze Golem is being pushed.
In fact, that was the end of the Blaze Golem’s role.
For the glory of the master!”
Because it took that much time for Silver to get back on his feet and launch an offensive.
Above all, such work was not disposable.
Pooh!
The work continued.
[The stone elephant has been killed.]
The operation stopped only after the sandstorm stopped and the body of the stone elephant collapsed and the floor drooped.
“It amazes me every time I see it.”
“If even the BJ master mage comes forward…. .
“I’ll eat the meteorite city as well.”
Eventually, after the battle, the tour participants again vomited their admiration at the appearance of Silver standing majestically among the corpses of huge stone elephants.
That was the moment.
“uh? excuse me!”
“It’s Crater!”
The sandstorm stopped and the dust settled, revealing their destination in a clearer view.
“It’s a meteorite city!”
Everyone was delighted with the appearance of Meteorite City, a city made up of buildings huddled in a huge crater created by a meteorite impact.
‘okay.’
Of course, Midas was the one who liked the most.
Because I saw it in his eyes.
‘I can see right away.’
A red pillar rising from the middle of the meteorite city.
Confirming that, Midas shouted.
“Everyone, we have arrived at the meteorite city you have been waiting for. This concludes the Silver Tour. Thank you for using it!”
And threw rice cakes.
“Next time we have something even better, so please come to our live broadcast.”
All the players thought the same thing about that sweet rice cake.
‘I have to tell you right away.’
‘I should go out and brag about it.’
I want to tell the whole world what happened right now as soon as possible.
Of course, that was what Midas wanted.
“Then take care of yourself, everyone.”
‘Should we go prepare for the big event now?’
Before a big event, there was nothing more important than word of mouth.
So Midas headed for the meteorite city.
9.
The background setting of Meteorite City was simple.
Blacksmiths from all over the world gathered to make weapons from the fragments of the meteorite left in the place where a huge meteorite fell, and soon it became a city!
content that is not difficult.
However, players did not pay much attention to this simple content.
There was only one thing they were interested in.
“I heard that the other party ate a Legendary item last time?”
“If you’re bored here, they explode one by one.”
In Meteorite City, there is a higher chance of obtaining unique and legendary items than anywhere else.
In particular, the difficulty of obtaining Legendary grade items was very low.
“If you’re lucky, you can eat Legendary anytime.”
To be more precise, the way to obtain the quest to obtain the Legendary grade item itself was simple.
“Unlike other places where you have to meet the mayor or lord while repeating the quest.”
In normal cases, you had to build up achievements through various quests in the area and then meet the owner of the city to get a Legendary grade item.
Difficulty level is low.
“Then, what are you doing?
Of course, that doesn’t mean the probability itself is high.
That was the biggest reason why Meteorite City was nicknamed the Lucky City.
Of course, all the people who visited Meteorite City were interested in the news about the Legendary grade item.
To the extent that he doesn’t even pay attention to the existence of quite a few star players.
“Hey, great event! BJ Grand Mage has come to Meteorite City!”
“really?”
“It hasn’t been long since I caught a gold hyena, but it’s already here?”
“Looks like you have the confidence to hunt right in Meteorite City without even needing to upgrade your specs. At this pace, you’ll soon catch up with the frontrunners, right?”
However, the players in Meteorite City had no choice but to turn their attention to the name value of BJ Grand Mage.
And right away they could hear it.
“As soon as BJ Grand Mage arrives in Meteorite City, she meets an NPC and is moving to the center of Meteorite City!”
“With NPCs?
“The dwarves took the vigilante!”
“Dwarven vigilantes? Aren’t they at the level of normal NPCs?”
This time, the BJ Grand Mage made an unprecedented visit.
While the players were surprised by that fact, they briefly clicked their tongues.
“As soon as you arrive, being escorted by the vigilante and going to meet the NPC is practically the same as booking a Legendary item, right?”
“It starts after winning the lottery first place.”
“Damn that shit luck. Because it only becomes the one who becomes.”
It’s strange if you don’t get jealous of the fact that no matter who sees it, it’s as if you’ve already won the lottery ticket.
On the one hand, interest arose.
“What is it?”
“Maybe it’s not just a Legendary grade item. Why are rumors circulating? Rumor has it that BJ Grand Mage will spend a lot of money.
“It seems like the biggest money is coming out.
What is BJ Grand Mage trying to show?
‘Meteorite City is hot because of me.’
Of course, Midas was clearly feeling the interest in him that filled the Meteorite City.
‘Yes, get hotter.’
It was a delight for Midas.
‘That’s how it’s worth doing a big event.’
With a big event that would surprise everyone, the hotter the atmosphere was, the better it was for Midas.
“I think so.”
With such high expectations, Midas finally arrived at a forge located in the center of Meteorite City.
“Sir Toss and Ulgarf have guests.”
“Okay, let’s go!”
And soon, a dwarf appeared before Midas’ eyes.
There was not a single hair on the whole body of the dwarf who appeared like that.
Hair, beard, and even eyebrows.
“This is Toth. It’s a dwarf.”
Had it not been for the dwarf introduction at the end, Midas would not have known that he was a dwarf.
“Ah yes…. My name is Midas. ah!”
Of course, his race wasn’t that important.
“Here is a letter from Mr. Ulgarf.”
‘Let’s go quickly, quickly.’
The important thing is that there is a way to arm Lucky and Gold Silver to the NPC toss in front of you!
hmm.
After confirming the contents of the letter Midas handed over, NPC Toss nodded briefly before speaking.
“According to the letter, he asked me to treat you like himself. It looks like you did a great job. If you see Ulgarf saying this.
[The quest has been completed.]
[The level has risen.]
NPC Toss, who tore up the letter along with the horse, turned his head and shouted toward the inside of the smithy.
“Hey, bring Ulgarf’s stuff!”
“yes!
Unlike NPC Toss, a hairy dwarf brought a small booklet as soon as he finished speaking.
“It’s something Ulgarf entrusted me with. He told me to treat you like myself, so you should have it.”
Strange logic indeed.
However, Midas did not refute that logic.
‘Legendary Epic Skill Card Book!’
In front of the object in front of my eyes, I didn’t like such a fight of logic.
“Yes, thank you. I will use it for a good cause.”
Of course, after Midas quickly received the item, he immediately put it into his inventory as if he did not want it to be taken away.
“And the contents of the letter said to help you. There is only one help I can offer.”
In the meantime, NPC Toss pointed to my forge with a chin gesture and said.
“To make your weapons more powerful. In that sense, you are greedy for your wand.”
[A new quest has been created in the main scenario quest list.]
As soon as he finished speaking, the quest window filled Midas’ eyes.
[Toth’s Greed]
– Quest Grade: Main scenario
– Quest Level: 249 or lower
– Quest Content: Toth wants to remodel Arbia’s staff. Let’s leave the wand to him.
– Quest Reward: Arbia’s Modified Staff
! Upon completion of the quest, you can proceed with ‘Toss’s Request’
‘Huh?’
After confirming the contents of the quest, Midas’ mind turned white for a moment.
‘upgrade?’
I never imagined that the opportunity to upgrade Arvia’s wand would come so suddenly.
Of course, the trouble didn’t last long.
‘It’s honey!’
It is impossible to turn down an offer to upgrade for free.
“Aigo or not? Feel free to bite and taste as much as you like.”
Midas quickly handed over the staff of Arvia to NPC Toss.
“What a nice guy. It will take about two days.”
NPC Toss, who received it, demanded an upgrade price.
It wasn’t a small price.
Because two days was by no means a small amount of time.
‘Am I going to hunt with a different weapon for two days?’
Moreover, there was virtually no item that could replace Arvia’s staff.
‘He said he would upgrade the item, but it’s nothing.’
Time is gold, but they say they give you something more expensive than gold, so why can’t you wait?
‘Wow, I get lucky this way. I never thought I’d upgrade Arbia’s wand here.’
On the contrary, Midas’ chest swelled more than ever at the income that exceeded expectations.
Now there was only one thing left.
‘Okay then, let’s check in.’
Now to make sure this swollen chest is about to explode.
“I have one more question than that.”
“Something?”
“I heard that Mr. Toss has a great talent for making any type of weapon. Could you craft items for my divine beast and guardian?”
In response to that question, NPC Toss glanced at Lucky and Gold Silver behind Midas, then nodded and said,
“There’s nothing I can’t do. That bird might be a bit difficult.”
gulp!
In response, Midas swallowed once instead of answering.
‘It’s real!’
Although I received the information, it is true that I still had doubts in my heart.
“Instead, only those children can use the weapons made for them. I cannot give it to anyone else.”
If you make an exclusive item, you cannot sell it.
‘It’s about belonging.’
Of course, it was a condition that Midas did not need to worry about at all.
There was only one question.
“What do you need to make?”
What is the cost of production?
“Because it’s fitting the arms to the body, all you have to do is bring the weapons you want to match. what more could you need? To be honest, I’m going to need some money.
“Oh money.”
Midas smiled bitterly at the price soon revealed.
No matter what you do, there’s no way you don’t like spending extra money.
“How much money do you need?”
“If you want to do this or that, you need to make a single weapon, and you need about 10,000 gold to pay for it.”
“10,000 gold?”
Midas turned his head at the larger-than-expected amount.
‘Wait, if these guys match each part, only 6 pieces of basic armor, including weapons, 70,000 gold per head? Three… … crazy.’
There was no more laughter on Midas’ face when he saw the lucky gold silver.
‘This is a bit big… … .’
Expected amount at least 210,000 gold!
Over the head of Midas, who was troubled by the far-off amount, the performance Silver showed today came to mind.
The overwhelming appearance he showed against the stone elephant!
‘Still, it’s a business that remains.’
Only then did Midas, who finally made up his mind, nodded lightly and said while looking at the NPC toss.
“Then, can I just bring you the necessary weapons and 10,000 gold?”
“Nothing.”
To that question, NPC Toss nodded cheerfully and said.
“Since it’s big, you’ll need about 3 identical items.”
And Midas did not answer the words that came out.
[You have logged out.]
Instead, you just escape to reality.
