I accepted the reward they were so adamant about giving me. It shone a bright purple. I didn't turn them down a second time. I really wanted it.
”Item Check.”
==[Clan Badge – Werewolf (Rank 10)
This is the prized treasure of the Werewolf Clan; the single Werewolf Clan Badge in existence. Normally, this badge carries the same authority as Lod, the founder of the Werewolf Clan. On certain occasions, Lod and the Werewolf Clan may decide that Lod's orders take priority. However, the holder of the Badge is not required to follow Lod's orders. Furthermore, should the holder's advice be ignored at least three times, the holder's orders will take priority.
As long as the Clan Badge remains in the holder's inventory, the holder will receive the following effects:
Grants ability to teleport to the Werewolves' homeland without limit.
Attacks inflicted onto the holder by Werewolves are decreased by 50%. Attacks inflicted onto Werewolves by the holder are increased by 50%. (This effect comes from a passive effect Lod placed upon the Werewolf Clan. This does not affect Lod.)
AGI increased by 700 points
STR increased by 300 points
Grants Howl of the Wolf. (Howl of the Wolf: AGI increased by 20% for 1 hour. No skill points required. 24-hour cooldown.)
Using Howl of the Wolf grants Razor Fang. (Razor Fang: Successful attacks against enemies inflict 5% additional damage. Can only be used while Howl of the Wolf is in effect.)]==
To be honest, it wasn't that great for a Rank 10 item. I already had three others that had better effects than this.
Then again, it was a non-equippable item, which made it valuable as there was a limit to the number of equips one can have at a time.
-But that's not enough to make it a Rank 10, even with its effects.-
It was basically an item that gave me the same authority as Lod over the Clan. I couldn't gauge its true value just by judging its effects alone. Its symbolism was probably worth more.
At that moment, Lod turned to me and spoke, ”It's the one item I received after becoming the Lord of this Clan. I do realize that its effects don't match up to its rank.”
”It's fine.” Still, it increased my total Stats by 1,000 and had a couple decent skills.
”Still, it is the most valuable item we can provide to our only friend.”
”I understand. Thank you very much.” I never really expected to receive such a reward. Sure, I was planning on sort of using the Werewolf Clan to get what I wanted, but I didn't expect them to go to this extent.
-Ha…I'm really going to have to defeat the Duke, it looks like.-
After the meeting, Lod and his officers took me around the Faroe Islands to show me where we would be fighting the Duke.
”Wow! It's really Lee Jiwon.”
”Lee Jiwon? Is he strong?”
”Duh, idiot! He got the Sunbin and Myth Guilds first and second place during the Time Attack quest!”
”He did that all by himself, too.”
”Is he really here to help us, too?”
”Yup.”
”Yay! Then that means we won't become slaves, right? My big sis was always saying that the Duke was going to take us over and turn us into his slaves.”
”Yup. He's going to kick the Duke's butt!”
I could hear the younger, mortal kids chattering among themselves.
”What you did during the Time Attack quest caused such a stir that even our children know about you.”
”I see.” I had already considered this outcome when I did the Time Attack quest. Should a similar quest ever come out again, I was going to do it.

The next day…
A report came as I was having breakfast with Lod and the other officers.
”The Duke has just left the Shetland Islands!”
Their faces stiffened.
”The Duke must be getting anxious now,” I said, nonchalantly, as I calmly ate my steak. I had heard that the Duke had been anxiously waiting over a week for me to come and hadn't attacked the Clan the entire time.
”It would seem so.”
”That pig has been holding back long enough.”
My nonchalant answer seemed to relieve the tension in the room.
