BJ Grand Mage-Episode 176
176fury.
7.
The Ritling's Elixir quest was simple..
“To make the elixir, you need cold magic crystals that only come from the frozen forest. About 20 should be enough.."
There are 20 ingredients to collect.
“My owl will tell me where it is.”
In addition, although it was not necessary, a guide was provided..
It was the friendliest main scenario quest Midas had experienced so far..
Of course, that's why Midas was convinced.
‘If it's easy to find, it's hard to get it.’
If this is easy so far, it will be much more difficult in the future..
Midas' prediction was correct..
Kuu!
[Entered the land of cold magic.]
[The bitter cold is coming..]
The place I entered following the guidance of the owl..
Midas was able to see clearly in a place where it was difficult to check what was in front of one's nose, let alone find something, due to the relentless snowstorm..
‘66 snow monsters.’
66 snow monsters gathered in one place like one family.
The appearance of such snow monsters was diverse..
‘Among them, there are five of them as big as trolls..’
From troll-sized creatures to moderately sized and agile creatures like wolves, orcs and goblins..
‘It's a combination worthy of criticism..’
It was the combination that players most hated to encounter in the frozen forest..
In other words, it was a dangerous combination..
Generally, when hunting a group of monsters, there is a basic strategy that suits the monster, but when there are so many different types, the basic strategy becomes virtually meaningless..
In particular, the combination of a big guy like a troll and a small but fast guy like a goblin was a combination that would make people curse..
But Midas' expression was different..
‘It worked out better.’
Rather, he turned his head to the side with an expression that seemed to welcome the difficulty he faced..
panting!
Then, Lucky saw the enemy and lowered his breathing, and beyond that, he saw Gold, an ice knight who did not make a sound..
Eventually, we made eye contact with Gold and Gold nodded..
Midas, who saw that, also nodded..
‘Only at this level can you check the power of the gold..’
Afterwards, Midas looked at the battlefield again, took a short breath, and then let it out..
With that breath, a command was also issued..
“Gold, sweep it away.”
Even if you listen closely, the voice is so low that you can't hear it because it's drowned out by the howling snow and wind..
“For the lord!”
However, at that voice, Gold looked more determined than ever and started running without hesitation..
Crrrrr!
kkii?
The snow monsters gathered in the race all focused their attention on Gold, and at the same time, they also focused their enemies..
Ready for battle.
And that image was completely covered in the driving snowstorm..
a creepy sight.
It was that moment.
“Inferno!”
The Demon of Inferno, who appeared with the spell uttered by Midas, appeared and spewed huge flames at the group of snow monsters hidden in the blizzard and snow field..
Grrrrrr.!
It was only after those fires melted the curtain-like snowstorm and cleared the snow that the battlefield was finally visible..
In fact, if you just wanted to hunt, there was no need to do it..
Because Midas's eyes were not dazzled by blizzards or snowfields..
Nevertheless, the purpose of creating the stage like this was to provide a more accurate view..
‘Gold, show me what you're capable of.’
Gold, how well he fights with his new powers..
And so the battle began..
8.
[Defeated a snow monster.]
[Your level has risen.]
Gold, who defeated the last snow monster on the stage, pulled out the knife from the snow monster's body and shouted..
“master! I have put an end to this battle.!”
Gold seemed to want praise, but Midas was unable to actually praise him..
Instead of praising, Midas just stared at the battlefield without saying anything..
That was about it..
‘……I never thought it would be like this.’
Gold's combat power easily surpassed Midas' common sense..
It wasn't just that the attack power was strong and the stats were high..
‘Combat methods and attack patterns are diverse and clever..’
Rather, what impressed Midas was his ability to deal with the countless variables that arise in combat situations..
‘It's no coincidence.’
Additionally, this judgment was not made after a single battle..
This was the twentieth time.
In twenty battles, Gold proved that the fighting power he showed was not luck, but true skill..
‘If you set up your items properly and get the buffs, you might be better at dealing than me.…….'
I'm starting to think that the BJ Gold story that I've been joking about might end up being a reality and not just a joke..
On the one hand, that thought made Midas decide..
‘At this level, it would be stupid not to set up the system..’
If you set up a good item, you will get double the results, but if you hesitate to invest because you think it is a waste of money, it is a loss..
‘Even if I empty my entire bank account.’
Now Midas has realized that it is not the time to resort to methods to set gold items..
In those thoughts, Midas stood in front of the crystal flower that had bloomed on the battlefield..
“Item Looting.”
[You have acquired an item in your inventory.]
[Quest conditions met.]
The moment when all the materials requested by the NPC riding are collected..
‘Once you complete the quest, let's go out and look for the market price..’
At that moment, the owl that had been guiding us until now made a sound..
Boo!
A sad sound, different from before.
After making that sound a few times, he flapped his wings and flew beyond the blizzard..
After that, a man with the owl appeared from the direction the owl flew..
“You really did it.”
NPC Lightling, Midas tilted his head at his sudden appearance..
What was even more surprising was what happened next.
“receive."
Upon appearing, the NPC Lightling lightly threw the bottle in his hand towards Midas, and Midas reflexively caught it..
‘uh?’
Midas's eyes widened to the size of a flower lantern as he confirmed the identity of the bottle he had snatched..
[Ritling's Elixir]
- It is the elixir of Rytling. Grows Thunderbird and brings out hidden power.
The elixir that Midas had hoped for has appeared before our eyes..
‘They didn't even give me the ingredients.?’
The problem was that Midas had not handed over a single ingredient he had collected in his inventory..
It's natural to be surprised.
“I apologize for testing you..”
NPC Riding apologized to Midas, who was so surprised, and explained the reason..
“I wanted to know if you really had the will and power to fight the power of the nameless god..
[Quest completed.]
The conversation continued after the quest notification that was heard at that moment..
“From now on, you will be pursued and attacked by those who want to use the power of the nameless god..”
“Pursuit and attack?”
The appearance of a word that seemed to cause trouble to anyone who heard it came to Midas' mind..
‘no way?’
The incident in which NPC Choi asked him a favor.
“Choi must have told you. About the reason I left without saying a word.”
Midas thought about the explanation that followed..
‘Are you saying there are enemies within the Tunga Kingdom? Then maybe?’
NPC Riding told Midas more clearly..
“In the Kingdom of Tunga, there are groups who use the power of a nameless god everywhere, including there..”
[A new quest has been updated in the main scenario quest section..]
At the same time, a quest window appeared in front of Midas..
[Reitling's Trust]
- Quest level: Main scenario
- Quest level: level 145 or higher
- Quest content: Find and conquer the dungeon of an unknown archmage and gain the trust of the Railings..
- Quest Reward: Unknown
!Quest Reward: King Tunga’s Ring
!Upon completing the quest, you can progress to ‘Comrades of the Ridling’
‘at las!’
Now is the moment when you finally get what you want.
“Of course, I can't trust you right now. I can't accurately confirm your skills. Can I have you take my place?......."
At the NPC riding's next words, Midas shouted before he could finish speaking..
“You can do anything! If it doesn't work out, I'll make it happen! I will prove that I can do it!”
Toward Midas, who was so surprised, the NPC Lightling nodded and said instead of warning..
“The reason I came to the frozen forest is to find the dungeon of someone who studied the power of a nameless god somewhere here. But I still can't find it. That's why I gave you my elixir..”
“Can I strengthen Thunderbird's exploration ability with an elixir??”
The NPC riding nodded instead of answering, and Midas, who saw that, did not hesitate..
‘Don't waste time, let's go quickly!’
After opening the bottle containing the elixir I received from the NPC riding, I poured it into my palm..
Then, a jelly-like blue liquid appeared on his palm..
Wiggle wiggle!
And the liquid began to wriggle like a living bug and move across Midas' palm..
“Uh, uh!”
Midas was surprised by the situation, and at that moment, Jackpot flew in and pecked at the blue liquid with his beak and swallowed it in one go..
Ku-woo!
Then, with a loud roar, he flapped his wings vigorously and Jackpot's body began to grow..
[Choose your own new abilities for Jackpot.]
Eventually, three cards appeared in front of Midas along with a notification..
‘uh?’
All cards emit only golden light..
‘Basic Legendary? Even if you just close your eyes and choose?’
It was a ridiculous sight, and Midas' eyes widened as he found a card in the sight..
[Orion's Song ]
- Skill Grade: Legendary
- Skill Effect: Sing Orion's song and send some of the power of Orion God down to the specified target. All abilities of the target increase..
The moment Midas saw the buff skill, and that ridiculous buff skill, he couldn't hold back and expressed his astonishment..
“Fuck, this doesn't make sense.!”
Afterwards, Midas covered his mouth with his hand and looked at Jackpot with still surprised eyes..
Kuu!
Jackpot now boasts a bigger body.
After seeing this, Midas turned his head and looked at Gold..
“That spoiled bad bird has grown big. Still, I can't do it..”
A picture was drawn in Midas' mind as he looked at the gold like that..
‘If Gold sets the item and receives this buff... … It's really going to be a disaster.’
The picture of Gold trampling on BJ Grand Mage and becoming the main character of the live broadcast..
‘I have to order it.’
It was the moment when the slightest hesitation in Midas' heart disappeared..

frozen forest.
There Midas stood, facing the endless snowstorm..
Midas' expression was cold and frozen..
It wasn't because of the cold.
‘Meeting in a moment.’
Now, I have to have a meeting with the Rising Star Channel CEO in a moment regarding the Gold Special Broadcast..
‘I need to ask you to buy Black Claymore..’
At that event, Midas intended to ask the Rising Star Channel to purchase Black Claymore..
Of course, I had no intention of asking him to buy it..
‘Even if I die, I can't do it myself..’
You will pay the money yourself, so ask them to do the transaction for you..
Considering the connections of the Rising Star channel, it would have been much cheaper..
‘What I do is the best.……’
Of course, no matter what, in the end, part of the cleanup of Midas' accident was left to the Rising Star Channel..
‘Ah, I never thought I would make this mistake here after doing so well..’
Also, this was the first time.
In the meantime, Midas has never entrusted the management of his work to the Rising Star Channel in this way..
Because the Rising Star channel helped me a lot..
That's why I couldn't help but feel even worse..
[Wharton is online.]
Soon, the Rising Star Channel CEO appeared in the chat window..
- Wharton: Hello.?
The CEO of Rising Star Channel said hello as soon as he appeared..
“Hehehe."
Midas did not respond immediately to that greeting and cleared his throat briefly..
“Hehehe."
‘Ah, it's really hard to open up..’
It would be even more shameless if you were to open your mouth easily when you were asking a favor to someone who knew your sins..
So Midas took a detour for now..
“Are you busy these days? because of me.”
We started talking lightly.
- Wharton: I'm definitely busy with BJ Grand Mage's gold special issue..
However, Midas let out an awkward laugh at the answer that followed..
It didn't end there.
- Wharton: Moreover, the work has grown so much that it has been more difficult than usual to deal with related matters..
The moment he saw the chat that followed, Midas clenched his teeth..
Because the meaning of what the Rising Star Channel CEO said was clear..
Because of you, suffering is no joke.!
‘Oh shit.’
At that moment, a memory of the past appeared in Midas' mind..
An insignificant guy like yourself suddenly became so arrogant and drunk with good results that he ignored team orders and did as he pleased, giving him an excuse for a come-from-behind defeat..
After that, he was dragged in front of the coach and made excuses, but then received an unpleasant order and was unable to play in the game for a whole month..
The case spoke for itself..
‘You can't ask for favors..’
Right now, don't even think about buying Black Claymore..
“sorry.”
Just apologize.
- Wharton: No. There's no need to apologize. Anyway, thanks to my busy work, I managed to get everything..
Midas' expression changed slightly at the content of the chat that came out at that time..
“It's a thing?”
- Wharton: Yes, I have such high expectations for the gold special, but I can't do it half-heartedly..
At that moment, Midas could feel the atmosphere moving strangely..
‘ah!’
Eventually, Midas noticed..
‘You got the item to clean up after me.!’
Rising Star Channel has made up for its mistakes..
- Wharton: There's no reason to do it unless it's the best show..
And I'm giving you another chance to make up for it.
- Wharton: Everything has arrived. I'll send it to you right away.
Midas had only one thing to say in front of him..
“Thank you for your effort.”
‘Thank you, boss. Before I go to bed today, I will bow three times to my boss and go to sleep. May you live long and prosper..’
just saying thank you.
After the meeting, Midas spoke with a brighter expression than ever..
“It's gold! I'll bring the item! wait! I'll be right back.”
10 minutes later, Midas logged back into the game, closed his eyes tightly, and spoke softly..
“……I'm really going crazy.”
Then, after opening his eyes again and looking at the new items filled in his inventory, Midas said to Gold:.
“Gold, from now on, you have no choice but to be the main character..”
