Chapter 33
Forgotten Intermediate Knight’s One-Handed Sword.
It has a level requirement of 30, and is an item that swordsmen typically wear until levels 80-100.
However, this one-handed sword is being traded at twice the price of other Rare grade items.
A weapon that’s merely Rare grade with a low level requirement has a market price of 50 gold.
[Forgotten Intermediate Knight’s One-Handed Sword? Why is this 50 gold?]
-The attack power is just so-so, and the special abilities aren’t particularly outstanding compared to other weapons.
└That’s just for collection purposes
└Did you get the one-handed sword? Your luck is fucking good lol There are probably less than 30 of those released on the South Korea Server.
└If there are only 30 but it’s still 50 gold, what does that mean? It’s just trash lol
└Just sell it for 50 gold and buy an Epic grade sword with mediocre stats instead
└Agreed, that’s more profitable.
The reason a mere Rare grade weapon costs 50 gold is because the ‘supply’ is ridiculously insufficient.
“One-handed sword? Why this sword all of a sudden? Wouldn’t it be better to buy a slightly better weapon?”
Ha Jin tilted her head in confusion.
If you’re going to spend 50 gold on an item like this, wouldn’t it be better to spend 10-20 more gold on a decent Epic grade weapon?
“No, I need this.”
“…Well, I understand for now.”
“Right. When you come back, I’ll also tell you how to clear the Quest here.”
At the mention of revealing a honey pot, Ha Jin’s eyes changed.
“Okay. I’ll be back soon!”
After Ha Jin left, Jung Hoon, now alone, moved his steps and visited the blacksmith where the smiths gathered.
In front of the blacksmith, several users were handing weapons to the blacksmith.
They were leaving them for repair as the weapons’ durability had dropped from hunting and running dungeons.
“Will it be possible by tomorrow?”
Usually when you leave something for repair, it’s finished within a day.
However, the man who received the weapon spoke with a troubled expression.
“I’m afraid repairing it in just one day will be a bit difficult.”
“What?! We’re in a hurry here.”
“I’ll try my best, but…”
“Forget trying your best, just get it done!”
The users handed over their weapons with an overbearing attitude and left.
“Sigh… I’m going crazy. How am I supposed to repair all this in one day in this situation?”
The NPC grumbled while holding an armful of weapons.
===
[NPC Information]
-Nickname: Sen
-Level: 30
-Job: Apprentice Blacksmith
===
He was an apprentice blacksmith learning the trade at the smithy, not a full blacksmith.
A newcomer who entered the blacksmith with dreams of becoming a blacksmith.
And he was currently Vulcan’s one and only disciple.
“Excuse me.”
When Jung Hoon approached him, he shook his head with a tired expression.
“I’m sorry. If you want repairs, it’s going to take some time.”
As many users flocked to Edenhark, the number of weapons needing repair also increased dramatically.
“It’s not for repairs. I came to meet the blacksmith Vulcan.”
“My master? I’m sorry, but my master is very busy right now. So please come back later…”
Sen’s words were cut short.
Jung Hoon had pulled out the letter of recommendation he received from Yorden.
‘Originally, this would only be possible after performing a Quest for Sen.’
A question mark was floating above Sen’s head.
A simple labor Quest to build trust with Sen in order to meet the blacksmith Vulcan.
However, by receiving the letter of recommendation from Yorden, he could skip the simple labor Quest.
“I can meet him, right?”
“Ah, please wait a moment.”
[Unnecessary Quests are automatically skipped.]
At the same time, the question mark above Sen’s head disappeared.
Since he skipped it with the letter of recommendation, there was no longer any need to perform it.
Before long, Sen came out accompanied by a man.
===
[NPC Information]
-Nickname: Vulcan
-Level: 50
-Job: Blacksmith
===
The blacksmith who can handle the energy of Evolution Stones.
It’s Vulcan.
“You said you brought a Letter of Recommendation?”
“Yes.”
An Exclamation Mark was floating above his head.
[Quest completed.]
[NPC Vulcan’s trust level has increased.]
As his trust level increased, his gaze softened a little.
“Huh, that old man wrote you a Letter of Recommendation? So what business do you have with me?”
“I’d like you to extract this energy and forge a weapon.”
Jung Hoon took out an Evolution Stone and held it out to him.
“This is…?”
Vulcan’s eyes widened as he recognized the Evolution Stone.
“Huh? Master, what is this?”
Sen’s curiosity was amplified by that reaction.
However, Sen’s words couldn’t continue.
Because Jung Hoon touched the Question Mark floating above Vulcan’s head and accepted the Quest.
[General Quest: Blacksmith Vulcan]
-Restriction: User possessing an Evolution Stone
-Reward: Vulcan’s acceptance
-Description: Listen to his request and make him accept the commission.
“Is it possible?”
“Hmm, sorry but it’s impossible right now.”
“Impossible?”
“As you can see, the situation at the Blacksmith is like this.”
The interior of the Blacksmith was messy and chaotic, unlike usual.
It was a complete disaster.
It turned out the blacksmiths weren’t crafting weapons but were busy cleaning up the Blacksmith.
“What’s this situation about?”
“Thieves broke in last night.”
Thieves.
This was a situation that would occur only after completing Sen’s Quest, but it happened a tempo faster as he received the Letter of Recommendation from Yorden.
“Damn bastards! It’s obviously Ragard’s doing!”
There are two Blacksmiths in Edenhark.
One is right here.
And the other is the Blacksmith located on the opposite side.
For a long time, Edenhark’s Blacksmiths had been in a competitive structure rather than a harmonious atmosphere, continuing to this day, but that structure was broken when Vulcan became a blacksmith.
Despite being in the Beginner Zone, Vulcan’s blacksmithing skills were too outstanding.
As a result, when Users visited Edenhark, they began to prefer this Blacksmith where Vulcan was, and things started tilting to one side.
Because of this, Ragard’s jealousy and envy, who runs the opposite Blacksmith, has reached its peak.
It was natural for Sen to suspect that Blacksmith.
“No, no matter what, those guys wouldn’t do such a thing.”
Vulcan knows Ragard well.
No matter how consumed he is with jealousy and envy, he has pride as a blacksmith.
He’s not trash enough to turn someone else’s workplace into a disaster.
“Then I’ll also help find the culprit.”
“I’m counting on you. Whoever it was also took the equipment that can extract energy.”
That was the reason Vulcan couldn’t handle the Stone.
“Yes.”
Jung Hoon left the Blacksmith and the next place he headed to was the Guild.
Not a Guild established by Users, but the Mercenary Guild composed of NPCs.
“Hmm? What brings you here?”
“I came looking for a mercenary named Woo Gang.”
“Ah, Woo Gang? He should be on the Second Floor over there, but you probably shouldn’t go looking for him. Woo Gang is in a situation where he can’t meet anyone right now.”
Jung Hoon ignored the mercenary NPC’s warning and went up to the Second Floor to find Woo Gang.
===
[NPC Information]
-Nickname: Woo Gang
-Level: 55
-Class: Mercenary (Information)
===
A Question Mark was floating above Woo Gang’s head.
[Weekly Quest: Mercenary Woo Gang]
-Restriction: All Users in Edenhark
-Reward: One piece of desired information
-Description: Woo Gang, who lost an important item, has fallen into despair. Please retrieve his item for him.
Jung Hoon grinned and accepted the Quest.
“…What? Who are you to barge in here so carelessly?”
Woo Gang glared at Jung Hoon with murderous eyes.
“I came to find a lost item.”
“Huh? A lost item? What do you think it is?”
“Isn’t it a fan?”
Jung Hoon took out the fan he had stored in his inventory.
===
[Woo Gang’s Fan]
-Type: Fan
-Grade: Normal
-A fan lost by NPC Woo Gang.
-You might receive a reward if you find NPC Woo Gang.
===
An item he had obtained by chance while digging the ground earnestly.
This item wasn’t provided to all users.
Once a week.
The fan spawns somewhere in Edenharc Field, and when that fan appears, you can receive a quest from Woo Gang like this.
“!”
Woo Gang’s eyes changed when he saw the fan.
He looked back and forth between Jung Hoon and the fan with a confused expression.
It was a message asking how on earth he knew this was his item.
“I can analyze the origin of items, you see.”
“Ah… I see.”
Woo Gang quickly understood.
The strangers who visited here all had mysterious abilities without exception.
So an ability like Jung Hoon’s wasn’t particularly surprising.
“Please take it.”
“…Thank you so much!”
Woo Gang received the fan with tears welling up in his eyes.
[You have completed the quest.]
[You can obtain one piece of information from Woo Gang.]
[Information is limited to ‘Edenhark’ only.]
“In return, please give me one piece of information for free.”
“Of course! Please sit here in front.”
Jung Hoon sat in front of Woo Gang.
“Recently there was an incident where a blacksmith was robbed. Could I get information about the culprit?”
“Of course. Could you wait just a moment?”
* * *
At the same time.
The portal flashed brightly and Lee Hwa Rang appeared.
“The Red Dragon Bone Bow appeared here, right?”
There was one reason he visited Edenhark.
To approach the user who took the Red Dragon Bone Bow, pay an appropriate price, and obtain the bow.
He absolutely had to get it.
Only then could he activate the set effect.
‘I absolutely cannot miss this.’
Missing the dojo in Primordial Village was enough.
So this time he would definitely obtain it himself.
“Hey, let’s go together, I said.”
This time Lee Hwa Rang wasn’t alone.
Lord Knight Park Jin Hyeok was also with him.
It was to watch over his transaction and also to obtain the Evolution Stone.
When two named players appeared, Edenhark was in chaos.
“Wow… two Mythology Guild executives?”
“Really amazing…”
Users who were going about their business were automatically drawn to gather where the named players were due to their appearance.
“Lee Hwa Rang? You’re later than I thought.”
Among the crowd, there was a user who spoke to Lee Hwa Rang familiarly.
It was Jung Chang Ho, who had been the center of attention before the two appeared.
Jung Chang Ho was a level 318 Hidden Class ‘Spirit Summoner (Fire)’.
His grade was Unique.
Users believed without doubt that he would advance to Legendary grade in the future.
“What. You were here too?”
Lee Hwa Rang frowned.
Honestly, he didn’t find Jung Chang Ho pleasant.
He was a user belonging to Harun Guild, which was currently at odds with Mythology Guild.
Every time they met, it only created more trouble, so he was one of the people he didn’t want to encounter.
“I heard the news. Another user discovered one of the Red Dragon Set pieces?”
Lee Hwa Rang’s fist clenched tightly as he saw the bitter smile forming on Jung Chang Ho’s lips.
‘That bastard… so Evolution Stones weren’t his real purpose.’
Obviously, he came to steal the Red Dragon Bone Bow.
Oh Min Ji beside him was the same.
An executive from the same Harun Guild.
There was no reason for two executives to visit Edenhark simply because Evolution Stones were discovered.
“Hey, don’t tell me you came here planning to steal it?”
It was Park Jin Hyeok who spoke those words aloud.
He also deeply disliked the two from Harun Guild.
“Of course not.”
Jung Chang Ho shrugged his shoulders.
“If you don’t want to lose it, just offer a higher price than us and take it. Isn’t that the solution?”
And Oh Min Ji added her words.
“Tch, fine, we get it, so get lost.”
Though he felt disgusted by their behavior, Lee Hwa Rang was confident he wouldn’t lose the Red Dragon Weapon.
The fact that he was collecting the Red Dragon Set was publicly known.
And just in case, he had stockpiled an enormous amount of cash.
If it was discovered in Edenhark, it was likely a user who wasn’t very high level.
‘Joining Mythology Guild under my name. And massive cash.’
Whatever it took, he planned to meet the seller’s conditions to the fullest.
To do that, he needed to make contact with the seller.
Lee Hwa Rang took out a megaphone from his Inventory.
[Premium Megaphone]
-Broadcasts a message to the entire Village.
Using this megaphone would display the message in the chat windows of all users in the Village.
‘Please respond. Please.’
Hoping the user who took the Red Dragon Bone Bow would see it.
He broadcast the message filled with earnest wishes.
