Chapter 33
Forgotten Intermediate Knight’s One-Handed Sword.
First of all, the level limit is 30, and it is an item that ordinary swordsmen wears up to level 80-100.
However, this one-handed sword is being traded at twice the price of other Rare grade items.
The market price of a weapon with only a Rare grade and a low wearing level is a whopping 50 gold.
[Forgotten Intermediate Knight’s One-Handed Sword? Why is this 50 gold?]
-The attack power is so-so, and the special ability is not that great compared to other weapons.
└It’s just for collection
└Did you get a one-handed sword? You’re so lucky lol There are less than 30 of those released on the Korean server.
└What does it mean that it’s only 50 gold even though there are only 30 of them? It’s just rotten lol
└Just sell it for 50 gold and buy an epic sword with poor stats lol
└Agreed, that’s more profitable.
The reason why a mere Rare-grade weapon costs 50 gold is because the ‘quantity’ is ridiculously low.
“One-handed sword? Why this sword all of a sudden? Wouldn’t it be better to buy a slightly better weapon?”
Ha-Jin tilted his head.
If you’re going to put 50 gold into an item like this, wouldn’t it be better to spend 10-20 more gold and buy a usable Epic weapon?
“No, I need this.”
“…Well, I understand.”
“Okay. When you come back, I’ll tell you how to clear the quest here.”
Ha-Jin’s eyes changed at the words that he would release the honey pot.
“Okay. I’ll be back soon!”
After Ha-Jin left, Jeong-Hoon, who was left alone, moved and visited the blacksmith, where blacksmiths gather.
In front of the blacksmith’s shop, several users were handing over weapons to the blacksmith.
They were leaving it for repair because the durability of the weapon had decreased while hunting and turning the dungeon.
“Will it be possible by tomorrow?”
Normally, if you leave it for repair, it will be finished within a day.
However, the man who received the weapon said with a troubled face.
“I’m afraid it will be a little difficult to repair in one day.”
“What?! We’re in a hurry.”
“I’ll try my best, but…”
“Make it happen!”
Users forcibly surrendered their weapons and left.
“Ha… It’s driving me crazy. How can I repair it in one day in this situation?”
The NPC grumbled with an armful of weapons.
===
[NPC Information]
-Nickname: Sen
-Level: 30
-Job: Apprentice Blacksmith
===
He was not a full-fledged blacksmith, but an apprentice blacksmith learning the trade at a blacksmith’s shop.
A newcomer who entered the blacksmith’s shop with the dream of becoming a blacksmith.
And he was currently Vulcan’s only disciple.
“Excuse me.”
When Jeong-Hoon approached him, he shook his head with a tired face.
“I’m sorry. If you want a repair, it will take some time.”
As many users flocked to Idenharc, the number of weapons to be repaired also increased significantly.
“It’s not a repair. I came to see the blacksmith Vulcan.”
“Master? I’m sorry, but Master is very busy right now. So later…”
Sen’s words could not continue.
Jeong-Hoon held the letter of recommendation he had received from Jorden.
‘Originally, this would only be possible after completing a quest from Sen.’
A question mark appeared above Sen’s head.
A simple labor quest to increase affinity with Sen to meet the blacksmith Vulcan.
However, after receiving a recommendation from Jorden, he was able to skip the simple labor quest.
“Can I see him?”
“Ah, please wait a moment.”
[Unnecessary quests are automatically skipped.]
At the same time, the question mark above Sen’s head disappeared.
There is no need to do it anymore because he skipped it with a letter of recommendation.
It wasn’t long before Sen came out with a man.
===
[NPC Information]
-Nickname: Vulcan
-Level: 50
-Job: Blacksmith
===
The blacksmith who can handle the energy of the evolution stone.
It’s Vulcan.
“You said you brought a letter of recommendation?”
“Yes.”
An exclamation point appeared above his head.
[Quest completed.]
[NPC Vulcan’s affinity increases.]
As his affinity increased, his eyes softened a little.
“Huh, that old man wrote a letter of recommendation? So what do you want from me?”
“I want you to extract this energy and refine the weapon.”
Jeong-Hoon took out an evolution stone and handed it to him.
“This is…?”
Vulcan’s eyes widened as he recognized the evolution stone.
“Huh? Master, what is this?”
Sen’s curiosity grew at that reaction.
However, Sen’s words could not continue.
Jeong-Hoon touched the question mark floating above Vulcan’s head and accepted the quest.
[General Quest: Blacksmith Vulcan]
-Restriction: User with evolution stone
-Reward: Vulcan’s acceptance
-Description: Make him accept the request by listening to his request.
“Is it possible?”
“Well, I’m sorry, but it’s not possible right now.”
“Impossible?”
“As you can see, the situation in the blacksmith shop is like this.”
The inside of the blacksmith shop was messy and cluttered, unlike usual.
It was a mess.
It turned out that the blacksmiths were not making weapons, but were busy cleaning the blacksmith shop.
“What’s going on here?”
“We had a thief last night.”
Thief.
This is a situation that occurs only after completing Sen’s quest, but by receiving a letter of recommendation from Jorden, the situation occurred one tempo faster.
“Damn them! It must be Lagarde’s doing!”
There are two blacksmiths in Idenharc.
One is right here.
And the other is the blacksmith shop on the opposite side.
For a long time, the blacksmiths of Idenharc had been in a competitive relationship rather than a harmonious atmosphere, and it continued to this day. That structure was broken when Vulcan became a blacksmith.
This is because Vulcan’s blacksmithing skills were too outstanding despite being a Starting zone.
As a result, users began to prefer this blacksmith shop with Vulcan when they visited Idenharc, and it began to tilt to one side.
Perhaps because of that, Lagarde, who runs the blacksmith shop on the other side, is extremely jealous.
It was natural for Sen to suspect that blacksmith shop.
“No, no matter what, they wouldn’t do that.”
Vulcan knows Lagarde well.
No matter how much he was full of jealousy, he was a man with pride as a blacksmith.
He’s not trashy enough to trash someone else’s business.
“Then I’ll try to find the culprit too.”
“Please. Whoever it is, they also took the equipment that can extract energy.”
That was why Vulcan couldn’t handle the stone.
“Yes.”
Jeong-Hoon left the blacksmith’s shop and headed to the guild.
It was a mercenary guild made up of NPCs, not a guild established by users.
“Hmm? What brings you here?”
“I came to find a mercenary named Woo-Gang.”
“Ah, Woo-Gang? He’ll be on the second floor, but it’s probably best not to go find him. Woo-Gang is not in a position to meet anyone right now.”
Jeong-Hoon, who turned a deaf ear to the mercenary NPC’s warning, went up to the second floor and found Woo-Gang.
===
[NPC Information]
-Nickname: Woo-Gang
-Level: 55
-Job: Mercenary (Information)
===
A question mark appeared above Woo-Gang’s head.
[Weekly Quest: Mercenary Woo-Gang]
-Restriction: All Idenharc users
-Reward: One piece of information you want
-Description: Woo-Gang, who lost an important item, is in despair. Find his belongings.
Jeong-Hoon accepted the quest with a grin.
“…What? Who are you to come in here without permission?”
Woo-Gang glared at Jeong-Hoon with murderous eyes.
“I found the lost item.”
“Huh? Lost item? How do you know what it is?”
“Isn’t it a fan?”
Jeong-Hoon took out the fan he had put in his inventory.
===
[Woo-Gang’s Fan]
-Type: Fan
-Grade: Normal
-It is a fan that NPC Woo-Gang lost.
-It seems you can get a reward if you go find NPC Woo-Gang.
===
An item that was accidentally obtained while digging hard.
This item was not offered to all users.
Once a week.
A fan is generated somewhere in the Idenharc field. When the fan appears, you can receive a quest from Woo-Gang like this.
“!”
Woo-Gang’s eyes changed when he saw the fan.
He looked alternately at Jeong-Hoon and the fan with a confused face.
It was a message asking how the hell he knew it was his.
“I can interpret the origin of the object.”
“Ah… I see.”
Woo-Gang agreed immediately.
The strangers who visited here all had mysterious abilities.
So Jeong-Hoon’s ability was nothing to be surprised about.
“Please take it.”
“…Thank you so much!”
Woo-Gang accepted the fan with tears in his eyes.
[Quest completed.]
[You can get one piece of information from Woo-Gang.]
[Information is limited to ‘Idenharc’.]
“Please give me one piece of information for free instead.”
“Of course! Please sit down here.”
Jeong-Hoon sat before Woo-Gang.
“Recently, one of the blacksmith shops was robbed. Can I get information about the culprit?”
“Of course. Would you wait a moment?”
* * *
Same time.
The portal flashed and Lee Hwa-Rang appeared.
“The Red Dragon Bone Bow appeared here, right?”
There was only one reason he visited Idenharc.
It was to approach the user who took the Red Dragon Bone Bow and buy the bow by paying the corresponding price.
He had to bring it.
Only then will he be able to activate the set effect.
‘I can’t miss it.’
It is enough to miss the Starting Village dojo.
So this time, he will definitely bring it himself.
“Hey, I told you to come with me.”
This time, Lee Hwa-Rang was not alone.
Road Knight Park Jin-Hyeok was also with him.
He was there to watch his transaction and take the evolution stone.
Idenharc was in chaos when the two named users appeared.
“Wow… Two Myth Guild executives?”
“Wow…”
The users who were doing their business were automatically drawn to where they were at the appearance of the named users.
“Lee Hwa-Rang? You’re later than I thought.”
There was a user in the crowd who spoke to Lee Hwa-Rang.
He was Jung Chang-Ho, who had been a catcher before both appeared.
Jung Chang-Ho was a hidden class ‘Spirit Summoner (Fire)’ who had reached level 318.
The grade is Unique.
Users had no doubt that he would eventually be promoted to Legendary grade.
“What? You were here too?”
Lee Hwa-Rang frowned.
Honestly, he didn’t like Jung Chang-Ho.
He is a user belonging to the Harun Guild, which is currently at odds with the Myth Guild.
He was one of the people he didn’t want to run into because every time they met, there was more trouble.
“I heard the news. Another user found a Red Dragon set, right?”
Seeing the fishy smile on Jung Chang-Ho’s lips, Lee Hwa-Rang’s fist clenched tightly.
‘That bastard… the evolution stone is not his goal.’
He must have come to snatch the Red Dragon Bone Bow.
The same goes for Oh Min-Ji next to him.
Executive of the same Harun Guild.
There’s no reason for two executives to visit Idenharc just because an evolution stone has been found.
“Hey, are you here to snatch it?”
It was Park Jin-Hyeok who spoke the words aloud.
He also hated the two from the Harun Guild.
“No way.”
Jung Chang-Ho shrugged.
“If you don’t want to be robbed, you can just offer a higher price than us and take it?”
And Oh Min-Ji added.
“Tsk, I know, so get lost.”
He felt nauseous at their behavior, but Lee Hwa-Rang was confident that he would not lose the Red Dragon weapon.
The fact that he was collecting the Red Dragon set was well known.
And just in case, he had accumulated a tremendous amount of cash.
If it was found in Idenharc, the user was most likely not high level.
‘Join the Myth Guild in my name. And a huge amount of cash.’
Whatever it was, he intended to match the conditions offered by the seller as much as possible.
To do that, he had to contact the seller.
Lee Hwa-Rang took a speaker from his inventory.
[Highest Grade Loudspeaker]
-Broadcast messages to the entire village.
Using this loudspeaker will post a message in the chat window of all users in the village.
‘Please, Ask..’
Hopefully the user who took the Red Dragon Bone Bow will see it.
He spread the message with his wishes in mind.
