Chapter 166: Guildmaster of the Beastmaster´s Guild and a classic snow play
I'm back in Freetia. My immediate goal is to make a weapon for Ix. However, I can't seem to get any iron ore...I'll have to gather some information.
I went to the Adventurer's Guild to gather information and got it right away.
"There are places where you can get a lot of iron ore. But Goblins and Monkeys have built forts along the way and we're having trouble getting our hands on the precious iron ore, especially the dwarves. Quests have also been issued. Would you like to accept it?"
Mu. This is the process of attacking the fort. If I can get iron ore efficiently, I'll take it.
"I accept!"
"Thank you. Here is the quest"
Request Quest Attack King Kong's Fort: Difficulty C+
Reward: Desired iron weapon, 10000G
Capture the fort built by King Kong and Goblins. Any number of players can participate.
This is a subtle difficulty level...and we're fighting King Kong? Well, it's an enemy we'll have to fight someday. Let's be patient and fight for the iron ore. The reward is not bad. But there's Hephaestus, right? I want a weapon for Koihi and I'm torn.
Anyway, I should attack. It would be risky to do it on the spur of the moment, so let's gather information and come up with a good strategy.
I'll have to summon today before I check King Kong's fort. So when I arrived at the Beastmaster's Guild, there were many players there.
Apparently, they were using the items they got from the event to summon monsters. Rook and the others were there as well.
Rook has a Kobold...you...just how much.
Tyrol has a penguin. It's not fluffy, but she's happy.
"Ah, Takuto-san!"
"Thank you for the event! Thanks to you, I have a lot of points to level up!"
That's great. I didn't level up. The other people I was with thanked me. Those who didn't get to be with me complained.
"You got the capsule, didn't you, Takuto-san? What was that about?"
Everyone was ready to listen to Rook's question.
"I'm afraid I can't disclose that"
I said that and Raiden and Reppuu caught me.
"So you exchanged that?"
"Spew. It'll all come out someday, right?"
"That's true, but it's a very sensitive subject. I'll tell you about it when I'm ready to talk about it, so can you please back off? If you want to force me to talk about it, I'll be your partner"
When I said that, they both backed off.
"What is it? Tell me"
"I, Idiot!"
"Do you want to die!"
The two hurriedly stopped the player who was trying to ask forcibly. They know my true nature. I apologize to them, but considering Ix's situation, I have no choice but to scare them into silence. I'll apologize to them later.
"Ahahaha...are you going to summon now, Takuto-san?"
"Yes"
"What attribute are you going to try? Ah, or are you doing a list summon?"
"Ice and list summoning for Snake"
"Ah, you're aiming for Hydra by synthetic summoning, right?"
"It's obvious, isn't it? Ah, by the way, I promised to let you identify"
Ah, I forgot!
I summon my summoned beasts and the players identify them. Now then they can list summon whatever they want safely. I was able to identify Tyrol's penguin as well.
When I was done, everyone was talking about my ice summoning.
"Mermaid, of course!"
"Penguin!"
"It's got to be the ice spirit from the event!"
"Sea otter!"
"Ice Dragonewt!"
"Seal!"
Absurd...by the way Tyrol seems to have summoned the penguin with ice.
Now that I've gotten a lot of opinions, there's always the chance that I'll fail...anyway, I went into the Beastmaster's Guild and asked if Nephi-san was there and it seems that Aura-san was right there. I'm glad she's here.
"What is it that you want to discuss?"
"Have you found a new subspecies?"
Aura was right, but I couldn't talk about it here.
"I'm sorry. But this is probably a very sensitive subject, so can we talk in an empty room?"
They sensed something from my appearance and led me to Nephi-san's private room.
"We'll be fine here. What's going on?"
"Please calm down and listen. I found an Ex Machina in the ruins of my travels and made a contract with it"
It's hard to say that it's an event reward, so this is a compromise.
""Eh!?""
The two of them were surprised.
"Wa, Wait a minute. Isn't Ex Machina an extinct subrace?"
It is true that they have gone dormant, so it would not be surprising if they were considered extinct.
"I've heard that it was a subrace that tried to wipe out the human race, but did you really find such a legendary being?"
"Yes. I heard about the history of Ex Machina from her. So I came to consult about what to do. I thought the two of you would be fine"
When I said that, I heard a third person's voice.
"Yes, yes. I'm glad to hear that a young and talented summoner trusts you. Both of you"
I looked over and saw a chubby cat.
""Grandmaster!?""
Hmm? Grandmaster? What's that?
"It's nice to meet you. A summoner beloved by the subraces. My name is Caim. I'm the Guildmaster of this guild and the Grandmaster of the Beastmasters Guild. I've heard about you from both of them"
Wh, What the hell? Is it okay that this chubby cat is the guildmaster here? Then Nephi-san said,
"Grandmaster! You're still in cat form!"
"Oops, that's right. Yo!"
When the chubby cat said that, he took human form. He is a young man about Nephi's age.
"No, I'm sorry. I like chubby cats so much that I always take on the form of a chubby cat"
I have a feeling that he's the reason why there are so many people with strange habits in the Beastmasters Guild.
"Why are you here...I mean, this is my room!?"
"Cats are free, that's why they're cats"
"That's not an explanation!"
"That means I can do whatever I want as long as I'm in cat form"
"There is no such rule!"
If there was such a rule, it would be very difficult.
"Well well. I'm talking about him now. Anyway, would you let me see, that Ex Machina? I want to see it and judge for myself"
"Okay. Shes in my store. I'll show you around"
"Oh! That's the store you've been talking about! Lucky. But you haven't summoned yet, have you? Go ahead and do it"
Is the store so famous that even the Grandmaster knows about it? My store. And this guy, he knows a lot of things, doesn't he?
I'm going to head to the summoning room and use the ice magic stone to do a magic stone summon!
The magic circle glows blue! Okay, it worked! Now, was there a correct answer? What appeared was a small
It was a small snowman.
"Eh?"
Oh no, I froze. Let's just try to identify it.
Snowman
Yeah. It's a snowman. That's what it looks like, though.
Then the snowman approached, jumping up and down. Hey, hey. Are you okay? You're not going to break, are you?
When I lifted it up, it was properly cold. But its body didn't collapse. Well, of course not.
Now, I wonder what to name it. I never thought I'd name a snowman. I don't even know what gender it is, so I guess I'll go with a name that can be used for either sex.
Name Iyuki Snowman
Vitality 10
Magic Power 10
Strength 12
Defense 15
Agility 4
Dexterity 12
Skills
Bare-handed Lv1
Snow Throwing Lv1
Defense Lv1
Physical Resistance Lv1
Snow Hiding Lv1
That brings the total number of summoned beasts I can summon to 8. But what will happen to this Snowman? Could it be a variant of the Golem?
The next step is to list summon a Snake.
The magic circle is unresponsive...I knew it would fail...well, the ice magic stone didn't go to waste. That's good.
When I took Iyuki outside with Caim, everyone had the same reaction.
Snowman?
Of course they did. After that, I went to the store with three people.
