177 # 166 Beast Devil Guild Gramas and Snow Play Classic.txt (1/2)

I'm back in Fretia. In the meantime, my immediate goal is to make a weapon for Ix. But iron ore is hard to come by... let's gather information.

I gathered information from the Adventurer's Guild and was able to get it right away.

There are places where you can get a lot of iron ore. However, goblins and monkies have built a fort on that road, and we are having trouble getting our hands on valuable iron ore, especially the dwarves. Quests have also been issued. Do you wish to accept them?

Mmm. This is the process of capturing the fort. I hope it's an efficient way to get at the iron ore.

I accept!

Thank you. This is Quest.

Requested Quest ”Conquer King Kong's Fortress”: difficulty C+.

Reward: the iron weapon you wanted, 10,000g

Conquer the fort built by King Kong and the Goblins. Any number of players

That's subtly challenging... and you're fighting King Kong. Well, it's an enemy we'll have to fight at some point. Let's be patient and fight for the iron ore. The rewards aren't bad either. But we've got Hephaistos, right? I want a weapon of love fire and I'm torn.

We'll have to attack them anyway. It's probably dangerous to go for a spur-of-the-moment attack, so let's gather information and make a solid plan for the challenge.

We need to summon today's summons before we can check King Kong's fort. So when I arrived at the Beast Demon Guild, there were a lot of players there.

Apparently, they were summoning quickly with the items they got from the event. Luke and the others were there too.

Luke is Kobold... you... how much.

Tyrol is a penguin. He's not mofo, but he's happy.

'Oh, Mr. Tact!'

'Thanks for the event!　Lots of points for leveling up, thanks to you!

That's good to hear. I didn't level up. The other people I was with thanked me for being there. And the ones that weren't, they're going to complain.

”Mr. Tact, you got to the capsule, right?　What was that all about?

Everyone is poised to listen to Luke's question.

'Unfortunately, it's not public,'

When I say that, Rikyuu and Raiden catch me.

''So, that means we exchanged them, right?''

Go to hell. You're gonna find out sooner or later.

'Yes, it is, but it's a very sensitive subject. When you're ready to talk about it, I'll tell you and you'll back off, won't you?　If you're going to force me to listen to him, I'll be there for you.

I say, and they back off.

'What. Tell me.

f*ck you!

Do you want to die?

The two of them rush to stop the player who was trying to forcefully ask them out. The two of them know my true nature, you know. I'm sorry for the two of them, but when I think of Ix, I have no choice but to scare them somewhat to shut them up. I'll apologize to both of them later.

''Hahaha... is Tact-san about to be summoned?''

Yeah.

'What attributes are you testing?　Oh, or are you summoning a list?

You're a snake with ice and a list of summonses.

Oh, you're going for Hydra with a composite summoning?

'It's obvious, isn't it? Oh, by the way, it was a promise of identification.

”Oh, I forgot!

I summon the summons and the players identify them. And when I summoned the list, they seemed to be able to summon it successfully. I also got to identify Tyrol's penguin while I was at it.

After that, everyone around me was talking about my ice summoning.

'I knew it was a mermaid!

Penguin!

'Of course it's the Ice Spirit from the event!

Otters!

”Ice Dragon Newt!

Seals!

It's a mess... by the way, it looks like Tyrol was a penguin with ice.

Well, there were a lot of opinions, but there's always the possibility of failure... Anyway, I went inside the Beast Demon Guild and asked if Nephi-san was there, and it seems that Aura-san was there just in time. It's a relief.

''What is it that you want to discuss with me?

Have you found a new sub-race?

So Aura is right, but I can't talk about it here.

'Excuse me. It's probably a very sensitive subject, so can we talk about it in the middle of nowhere?

They sensed something in my appearance and led me to Nephi's private room.

'You'll be fine here. What's going on?

'Calmly listen to me. We found the Ex Machina in the ruins of our travels and signed a contract.
