361 # 344 Information and Relief Request from Jin.txt (1/2)

Tuesday...it was a long day. It was late at night, but when I logged in, it was Leaping.

Then I received a report from the Adventurer's Guild that the jade steel had arrived. Later, I received word from Hephaistos that Bran's shield was completed. No naming this time. Appraisal.

Shield of Star Frost: Rare Level 9 Shield Quality A

Weight: 40 Endurance Value: 300 Defense Value: 125

Additional effects: starlight, star blessing, protection, shock absorption

The shield that contains the power of the star. A shield that prevents all kinds of abnormalities, answers the wishes of the user to protect and is said to work miracles. It is a powerful shield, so it chooses the user.

It looks like that recoil wasn't due to the magic greatsword, but to the star crystal stone. How bad is this material? Bran immediately takes it in his hand to see how comfortable it is to use.

''It's great...I'll show you that this will block any attack!

'It was worth the effort. But please don't be as reckless as Lily, okay?　My blood ran cold when I saw Estoracion with only a few endurance values left.

Oh, I saw that... no, I'll have to get it repaired, so I'll show it to you eventually.

By the way, Lily was sitting upright and pissed off at Ms. Setia the whole time.

...and I'm safe, right? I could have stopped it! Then Lily and Setia come in. Is it my imagination that Lily's eyes are empty?

Mr. Tact?　May I speak with you about Estoracion?

'I'm sorry...this is an emergency. I'll get to the bottom of this later, but not now.

What's going on?

The desert town of Nefer has been attacked by a monster... probably on purpose.

This surprised Setia, Bran and Hephaistos.

'Is it true?'

I'm sure. I'm going to go check it out now. Lilly, let's go.

'Uh-huh!　Go!

Then Setia and Brann ran for office.

'We need to see if it's true, so please take them with you.

I don't trust you. But I'll give you credit.

”Lord. I do too.

'No Bran, no. I understand your desire to use your new weapon, but I can't let you go in Angel's state.

It could start off with a battle at the worst possible time.

”...Okay.

Good boy. I asked Hephaistos to make the Aeon's ice sword. Since it's the first material and it's a magic sword, after discussing it with Setia, she said it will take five days.

The members of the team are Lily, Setia, Koibito, Noah and Sinsu. I'm sure they're all curious about it.

When we arrived at Nefer, the enemy was already gone, and we found the city in tatters. No do-overs... d*mn it!

Tact...

”...it's all right. What's done is done. We'll do what we can for now.

I looked around town and was approached. It's Caro.

'Mr. Tact!　I'm glad... you're safe.

I'm glad you're okay, Mr. Caro.

Yes... but my daughter... they took her...

I knew it was going to be like this. If only I hadn't been forced to log out... No, I have to change my mind now. Then Karo-san asks me to do a favor for you.

”Tact-dono!　In light of your strength, I have a favor to ask of you!　Please help my daughter!　We'll pay you whatever you want.

There has been a request for the rescue of the daughter of the caravan.

Requested Quest ”Rescue the Caravan's Daughter”: difficulty level B-.

Reward: The caravan holds.

Rescue Najum, Karo's daughter, from the bandits.

The content is covered... it seems that there are various routes to the quest I'm working on. However, since this is my own personal request, there are no requirements for the guild's request. Anyway, I'll have to take the quest and ask for information.

'Keep your head up. I'm not going to leave it at that. Do you have any information on them?

”I don't know... they just came out of nowhere and kidnapped my daughter and her children. We tried to resist, but they threw a strange smoking ball at us and we couldn't move.

A paralyzing smokeball? No, it's not...

Did Mr. Karo see the killer by any chance?

Yes, sir. It was a group of people dressed in black...I heard that they turned invisible and ran away, which is either false or true. Later, it seems that there were several people controlling the monsters that attacked them.

An invisibility cloak and a paralyzing smokeball... that's very thorough. Furthermore, it was confirmed that there was an enemy controlling the chimeras.

Thank you for telling us. We don't know where they are, do we?

'Yes...I've been asking around too, trying to find out where my daughter is, but...'

I'll see what I can find out.
