I Became a Tyrant of the Defense Game - Episode 305
◈ 305. [[Free Exploration] Farming during intermission (2)
The fairy royal family, called the children of the World Tree, is said to have had three princesses in the current generation..
First Urd. Second Verdandi. third schooled.
The princesses were each named after the three goddesses of fate, meaning past, present, and future..
The first princess, Urud, ascended to the throne. She died when the alliance of different races was defeated by humans during the tribal war one hundred years ago..
Afterwards, the throne should have been inherited by Verdandi according to the order of precedence, but at this time, Verdandi had already begun the search for the Holy Grail under orders from Urd..
Currently, in the Elven Autonomous Region, the enslaved elves are led by Skuld, the youngest heir to the throne in name only..
‘Verdandi is also an important key to the Fallen King's plan..’
Because they plan to bring in different races scattered across the continent to the southern front..
Verdandi, who would become a long-term connection to the Elven Kingdom, was an important customer(?) to me..
Anyway, I tried to keep quiet until he revealed it, but Dusk Bringer coolly spoiled it.…….
“You were the leader who burned our kingdom during the war a hundred years ago, you! Why are you pretending to be friendly and making a fuss?!”
Verdandi shouted fiercely.,
“Ah, I was sorry about that time. Gwain didn't have any ill feelings towards you, but he was in a position where he had to step forward when the emperor told him to.…….”
Dusk Bringer pierced his ears as he said he wasn't sorry at all..
“Anyway, aren't we all now serving as food workers under Ash? Let's be friendly.”
“Wow, who is a gourmand as he pleases?!”
When Verdandi retorted in a sharp tone, I looked at him with a hurt face..
“no……?”
“Oh no! Give me sunflower seeds, give me other food, and take care of many things! Bird, now that I think about it, I’m in a situation no different from a gourmet.……!”
Verdandi's eyes trembled violently in confusion. I covered my mouth and laughed.
yes. There is something I fed you. Anyway, everyone is under my command..
“It's okay, Verdandi. I don't care what your identity is.”
Actually, I was very concerned from the beginning. Anyway, I smiled innocently..
“We became friends regardless. yes?”
“Ash……!”
Verdandi squeezed my hand with an touched face. Yeah, you know my name.
Anyway, the dragon and the elf are arguing among themselves, and I, the human caught in the middle, am looking for an angle to take advantage of.,
“hey! Little prince! Why are you here now?!”
A familiar dwarf jumped out from the center of the base camp..
It was the magic blacksmith Kelly Bay. Kelly Bay, her entire body covered in soot, screamed in a hurry with her sweat soaked face.
“Come here quickly! The equipment you entrusted to me is X.!”
what?
The equipment is X?
Before I could react,
“no?”
This time, Dusk Bringer stepped in front of Kelly Bay with a happy face..
“Who is this again? Kelly Bay!”
“Wow!?!”
“‘You're the youngest member of the 'Golden Bough Mining Group'. why are you here again……?”
Kelly Bay was scared when he saw Dusk Bringer pretending to recognize him and shouted..
“Holy crap, Dusk Bringer?! Why did this dragon lady come here??!”
“No, that's harsh. Ahjimae… … . If you put it that way, you are older than Gwain, so are you a super grandpa??”
Dusk Bringer grumbled and tapped his silver crown with his fingertips..
“Gwain is also indebted to your two older brothers. This crown was also cast for me by your brothers when I ascended the throne..”
“…….”
“So, where are your brothers? I want to say hello.”
Kelly Bay let out a dry sigh and answered reluctantly..
“dead.”
“……what?”
“While searching for the 'Golden Bough' deep in the darkness here, I was killed by a monster..”
Kelly Bay's brothers were killed by the vampire king Celendion. That's why Kelly Bay likes me for killing Celen Dion..
“Oh, I'm sorry..”
Dusk Bringer awkwardly apologized and scratched the back of his head..
“Why does Gwain seem so clueless today?…….”
I am receiving everyone's harsh gaze. But Dusk Bringer, who calmly passed it off with a shamelessness befitting his age, whispered to me..
“Anyway, this is fun, Ash..”
“yes?”
“Aren’t all the so-called fugitives hiding here on the southern front? From elves, dwarves, and beastmen…….”
After looking at the prisoners of the punishment unit standing over there, Dusk Bringer chuckled..
“Now, if we have mermaids, it would be like cramming all four major races into one military camp..”
“…….”
There is. Mermaid Island.
Serenade’s water-colored hair passed through my mind. He must be working hard at Crossroads right now.?
At that time, Dusk Bringer shook his head and muttered to himself..
“All races in one place... … ? Whoa. Then, is it possible to collect the guardian trees of all races?…….”
“……?”
“Right. haha. Is it also inevitable that I came to you?…….”
Well, what are you saying??
Why don't you just keep making monologues like this so that only you can understand them? If this were a mystery novel, the criminal would have already killed him.!
I quickly got away from Dusk Bringer, who started mumbling to himself..
Even though I already have a headache just thinking about what's in front of me, I can't understand it anymore.!
“……He took all kinds of weirdos on his side, and now he even has evil dragons.…….”
As I approached Kelly Bay, Kelly Bay sighed and looked at me..
“You have bad tastes, kid. No, should I say resourceful??”
“haha.”
I smiled calmly. I will continue to accept more people from now on. It's hard to be this surprised.
“Okay, come quickly. Because the equipment you entrusted to me is on the verge of destruction..”
We ran in a huff towards Kelly Bay's magic forge..
The blacksmith shop must have been in full swing, with strangely colored flames coming out of the furnace, giving off tremendous heat..
“In the meantime, chaos broke out again, oh!”
What Kelly Bay is currently working on is Evangeline’s exclusive equipment..
[[Cross Family Spear] and [Cross Family Shield].
I thought it would be a simple task to just inject materials into the base equipment and go through the upgrade process, but something happened and the deadline has already passed and I'm still struggling like this..
Kang! Kang! Gang-!
Kelly Bay, wearing a welding mask and barely managing to extinguish the magic flames by striking the equipment with a hammer, turned to look at me..
“Let me see what condition the equipment you entrusted me with is in.?!”
“……!”
Of course, I am completely unfamiliar with blacksmithing..
When I saw the surfaces of the spear and shield turn black and wriggle like tentacles, I immediately got the feeling that something was wrong..
Cheolpuk!
A rising tentacle passed right by my face, splashing black fluid. Hehehehe?!
I screamed and pulled out my hair..
“No, what on earth have you done! All you have to do is just upgrade!”
“I tried to do better, but I was overly motivated! It was fine until a few hours ago, but something went wrong with the additional enchantment process... … Anyway, if you leave it like this, X will happen.!”
“No, I think I've already been fucked a lot.?!”
membrane… … that… … It's rising! loads! Fuck!
“Okay, I was going to go into the dungeon today anyway.?!”
Kelly Bay put a piece of paper on the work table, started scribbling something, and then threw the used piece of paper at me..
“Get the ingredients quickly! If you don’t want to see your precious equipment flying away,!”
[Emergency Equipment Repair Quest!]
An urgent quest has appeared.
These are all kinds of rare magic ingredients that can only be obtained deep in the dungeon... … We need a lot of sheep... … The remaining time... … Oh wow. 6 hours?
Taat!
I quickly ran to the party members holding the paper that Kelly Bay gave me..
Then Evangeline, who had been waiting with sparkling eyes, jumped out in front of me..
“Seniors! My equipment! Is my equipment well made??”
“…….”
“I'm really looking forward to it! How will the heirlooms that have been passed down in our family be upgraded?……!”
Cold sweat flowed down like rain and wet my back..
Evangeline's spear and shield, with tentacles rising and wriggling like the suckers of an octopus, flashed through my mind..
If such equipment was given for exclusive use only,…….
As I looked into Evangeline's innocently sparkling green eyes, I was convinced..
‘There's a rebellion!’
Evangeline's equipment satisfaction level has already reached rock bottom thanks to two consecutive hits of Golem Armor and Bone Armor..
In this situation, if you turn the spears and shields that have been passed down in your family into tentacles, you will get really fraggled! might kill me!
Suddenly!
I held Evangeline’s shoulder and smiled brightly..
“The equipment is in great condition. You'll love it too. So just wait a little longer.”
“Wow!”
Evangeline smiled dazzlingly. It was the prettiest smile I've seen in a while. Fuck, there's no turning back now.!
“Come on, let’s go quickly! Let's go in~!”
I urgently summoned all party members..
While doing so, Verdandi also grabbed his forearm and dragged him in. Verdandi, who was trying to observe from afar, was taken by me in confusion..
“Hey, Ash?!”
“Verdandi. I'm in a mess right now. Please help me a little. Bring some of your colleagues with you.……!”
In addition, we checked to see if there were any more personnel to take from the base camp, but unfortunately, it seems that this is all the personnel that can be mobilized at the moment..
Five parties, including Verdandi's Holy Grail expedition team, followed in confusion..
Just 25 people. After arranging the largest number of dungeon exploration raiders in history in front of you,.
I declared.
“6 hours to go! You must obtain all the ingredients listed here within 6 hours.!”
A look of disgust appeared on the faces of the party members who received the information and quantity of the ingredients..
Don't look at me like that, kids. If you don’t want to see my lord die, please help me.……!
“Today’s dungeon exploration concept is ‘Doctor’.!”
A time-honored term for a game board. Doctor.
‘It's an abbreviation for 'shut up and hunt'.
There is nothing like this when it comes to hard work obtaining materials..
“Defeat all monsters in sight, steal items, and loot treasure chests! It's a blitzkrieg! It blows like a thunderbolt and shakes everything off.!”
It seems a bit different from the original meaning of blitzkrieg, but whatever.!
The rest of the party is all familiar with the dungeon, and the Dusk Bringer and the knights have good original specs, so even if it's their first time, they'll do well..
“There's no time, let's go!”
When I screamed, the party members ran into the dungeon after me, panting without understanding what was going on..
***
This season's monster is, of course, the Troll, a monster with a long history in the fantasy world..
A representative tank monster with high regenerative power and a strong body..
If you can't kill them with a single blow, they will regenerate over and over again, so they are quite difficult to deal with..
of course,
“Wipe it all away-!”
That's if the firepower is weak..
puck! puck! Kuwagwanggwang!
The troll group was torn apart without even being able to scream in the swirling storm of swords, magic, arrows, etc..
Enemies don't fall easily?
So, let's check whether this number is insufficient.!
25The power of the in-dungeon raid was terrifying. Moreover, since each party was a first-tier elite, the speed was crazy..
It only took 5 minutes to enter the dungeon and clear the way to the boss room, and 3 minutes to defeat the boss..
After going through so many places, it felt like a waste to go into one dungeon all together..
The space was small and there was too much firepower, so overkill continued..
“hey! I'll designate a dungeon for each of you! turn one by one!”
So, the 5 parties were distributed into 5 dungeons. Each party worked hard to break through the dungeon one by one..
As a result, I went around and around and around again and again..
“……I shook it all off.”
Within a few hours, the dungeons in District 6 were completely dry.……!
‘The ingredients are…….’
It's still not enough!
As I looked at the insufficient quantity little by little, I was appalled. Time is passing by…….
“Hmm~?”
Evangeline, who was close behind me, cast a vague gaze and whispered..
“Senior, could you… … You're not hiding anything from me.?”
“Oh no, man! Have you seen me lie to you before??!”
“Hmm~ Right? That's right too~”
Evangeline smiled brightly..
By any chance you noticed?
Save me, fuck.
“Zip haaaaap-!”
With my loud (and desperate) shouting, our party of five regrouped in front of the last remaining dungeon in District 6..
Take some rest and recover from any minor injuries..
6The largest and most dangerous place in the district.
Large-scale dungeon. Entered the [Lab].
‘Be sure to gather all the ingredients and return.!’
To prevent a future where Evangeline stabs me in the back... … Oh no!
To protect the equipment of precious colleagues!
