Closed Beta I Played Alone

Chapter 76

76. Salimaru Bandits (1).

[Quest ‘Find the mark of the Salimaru bandits.’

-The archaeologist Montt, a descendant of the historic Montt family, accidentally obtained an ancient document from an unknown ancient site.

And he was delighted that he immediately devoted himself to the interpretation of ancient documents, and was able to complete the interpretation over a period of 30 years.

Montt immediately published the contents of the document.

However, Montt was immediately accused of being a liar.

The contents of that ancient document were filled with things that were very hard to believe even by anyone looking at them.

The thieves of the Salimaru Bandits who stole the stars, light and darkness, including the sun.

No one believed it, but the archaeologist Montt did.

No, he had to believe it.

The contents of the ancient documents are very detailed and systematic, but because he devoted most of his life to this, the denial of the contents meant the denial of his own life as well.

So, Montt began to search all the ruins of the ruins for 20 years to prove that the Salimaru bandits existed.

And by the time they gave up everything, like fate, they were able to find information about a hiding place where the Salimaru bandits had hidden their last treasure.

After that, Monty wanted it.

The last treasure of the Salimaru bandits?

No, the sign that it was made from the trunk of the World Tree, proof that the Salimaru Bandits existed.

As such, Montt thought that the sign that the Salimaru bandits existed was the only way to prove that his life was not a foolish life chasing an illusion.

So Montt, the last descendant of the venerable Montt family, risked everything he could to find it.

-compensation.

: 455 million golden rings.

: 12,000 coins.

: 700 remaining stat points.

: 1 random box containing 1 type of accessory between Legendary and Mythic.

: 300 Accessory Enhancement Stones.

: Removed cooldown Ancient Scroll 2 sheets. (The first cooldown that occurs after tearing the ancient spell book becomes zero.)

– Separate compensation.

: Anything that can be obtained from Salimaru Bandits’ Hideout, except for the Bandits Mark.]

“……”

I was speechless at the lack of compensation by saying that it was huge.

As much as that, 700 million remaining stat points in the Golden Ring, which was over 400 million, was an amount that had not been heard anywhere.

There, I have a good memory of obtaining a random box containing accessories between the rare and legend level before, and obtaining the legendary level accessory called the Brave Fighter’s Bracelet, which I am still wearing after opening.

But this time, it was a random box with the highest myth grade accessories from the lowest legend.

And if myth grade accessories come out.

‘It’s really great.’

There were a total of 2 items of myth grade that Myungjin had.

One of them was the ice emperor’s guardian sword, and I have it now, so I ended up having one.

That’s why the myth-grade items were so precious.

There are multiple duplicates of the same item up to the legendary level, but the mythic level is enough to explain its preciousness just by explaining that there are no identical items.

That is, only one per item.

That was a myth-grade item.

Of course, other 12,000 coins and 300 accessory enhancement stones were huge enough.

But leaving all this aside, I was most speechless at the last reward.

A spell that instantly removes the cooldown.

In other words, it has to mean that the cooldown of the God of Enhancement can be reduced to zero twice.

Of course, the skill that immediately comes to mind when talking about cooldown.

However, the description was clearly not limited to skills.It was clearly stated that it was the first cooldown that occurred after tearing the spell book.

Also, the cooldown of the God of Enhancement was clearly within the cooldown zone.

Furthermore, one 100% enhancement success ticket currently in inventory.

Combined with this, it is possible to make a +1 Ice Emperor’s guardian sword into a +4 Ice Emperor’s guardian sword right now.

Of course, I don’t want to do that right now.

Anyway, for some, the Ancient Scroll of Eliminating Cooldowns may be the least valuable of all 7 rewards, but for me it was the most valuable.

And I had no choice but to stare blankly at Chairman Seo Dae-young at such a mouth-watering reward.

After all, after all, if I clear this quest and take all the rewards, it will inevitably be a serious blow to not only Chairman Seo Dae-young, but also Chairman Seo Dae-young as a whole.

And at the same time, it made sense.

A quest that provides such a reward will never be easy.

Of course, he must have challenged himself dozens of times, hundreds of times, maybe even thousands of times.

And they would all have come to the conclusion that they could never be broken by failure.

Anyway, Chairman Seo Dae-young looked at me and slowly opened his mouth.

“I want Ashirante-kun to clear this quest. Isn’t it only when Ashirante-kun gets stronger that our Daeyu gets stronger?”

“…we will do our best to live up to those expectations.”

Contrary to what I said, if I clear this quest, Chairman Seo Dae-young will hit the ground and regret it.

Maybe he’ll grab my crotch and ask for some congo with regret.

And I thought I really wanted to do that.

“haha. great. Shall we go now, then?”

“Right now?”

“Yes. Do you need to procrastinate anyway? Moreover, for the first challenge, Montt. You must meet the NPC Monttra in person.”

“all right. Let’s go.”

Ready to do it separately?

none.

Moreover, it is not Chairman Seo Dae-young, who will provide a huge amount of information about this quest.

Because he wants me to fail.

So I moved along with Chairman Seo Dae-young.

From Northwood Castle to Hackkiss Castle.

bum bum.

Passing through the central square of Hackkiss Castle, it continued to move west.

Of course, it wasn’t just Seo Dae-young’s footsteps that followed.

There was a high probability that he didn’t know, but just in case, he sent a whisper.

Directly to Director Seok In-soo.

[lumen: Is there a manager Seok In-soo?][Seok In-soo: Yes. There is. The youngest master.][lumen: Do you know if it is the Salimaru Bandits?][Seok In-soo: Salimaru Bandits? Well… I’ve never heard of it. Is there anything wrong with you?][lumen: No. First of all, I will tell you later.][Seok In-soo: Yes. all right.]

Director Seok In-soo, who is sure to tie and break.

This may be why his father trusts Seok Insu.

However, due to the nature of Director Seok In-soo, he will not be waiting for my words.

In other words, as soon as the whisper ends, they will be busy searching for information about the Salimaru bandits.

Of course, the quest must be over before that.

Anyway, as expected, it was concluded that we had to start from a blank slate without knowing anything.

A pleasant feeling of excitement slowly began to flow through my body.

And not long after I started walking like that, I arrived in front of an old-fashioned building.

“This is Mont’s mansion. The person who gave the quest and the person who holds the key to proceed with the quest.”

With those words, I naturally followed Chairman Seo Dae-young into the building and moved to the front of the old man sitting in a rocking chair near the window with his eyes closed.

“I came here to proceed with the Mont-nim quest.”

“Two days. You are very persistent.”

“Hahaha. So this time I brought a different person.”

“okay?”

At the words of Chairman Seo Dae-young, NPC Monta opened her eyes slightly and looked at me.

And he flicked me up and down as if he were reviewing an item.

Then, unlike Chairman Seo Dae-young, who showed a lukewarm reaction, it was not enough to open his eyes wide, so he got up from the rocking chair and approached me and talked to me.

“Two days. Looks like you finally made up your mind. bring a friend like this It’s definitely possible. If even this friend fails… maybe it means that it is a place where no one is allowed to go.”

Montt grabs my hand and speaks in an exhilarating voice unlike before.

I have had this experience before.

Kihanna, whom I met in the city of pioneers.

She is tall and she gave me an A-class quest as I just passed level 100.

Along with her questioning whether I am strong or not, in her own eyes, I see myself as a stronger person than anyone else.

The Monta in front of me right now is like an old man.

Of course, there was a person whose face hardened sharply at the sight of Montt who greeted me fiercely and couldn’t erase his excitement.

Chairman Seo Dae-young.

But it was ignored.

Because I have already received the quest.

“ruler. go now Now that I’m old, all that’s left is impatience.”

Montt ignored Chairman Seo Dae-young and took my hand and led it.

Right in the middle of the mansion’s garden, along the fountain.

“It is right here. Where you can go to the last hiding place of the Salimaru bandits. So I bought this place and built a mansion.”

“i See.”

He responded appropriately to the words he didn’t feel even Montt’s strangeness.

“ruler. first hold my hand I let that information be absorbed into my body.”

words that are not readily understood.

But first, as Montt said, I grabbed his hand.

Then a message rang.

[Information about the hiding place of the Salimaru Bandits has been obtained from Montt.]

“And now you can go to their hiding place by saying, ‘I have come to a hiding place deeper than the abyss’ in front of this fountain. Moreover, since you have already registered once, if you fail, you can come here alone and try again in the future, but somehow, I think you will make a decision this time.”

“Thank you for your words. It gives me great strength.”

“Two days. Nope. It makes me so happy just to have a strong person like you take on a challenge.”

By Montt’s actions, I seemed to understand why Chairman Seo Dae-young had brought me here.

Because it was a quest impossible to challenge without the medium of Monta.

I glanced at Chairman Seo Dae-young.

shit face.

He looked at his face happily for the last time and opened his mouth right away.

“I have come to a hideout deeper than the abyss.”

Whoop!

For a moment, I felt something pulling me strongly.

But I wasn’t upset.

Of course, the place to be moved to is the hiding place of the Salimaru bandits.

And after a while, a pupil boasting an amazing size caught my eye.There are four large caves, north, east, west, and north.

A message rang with him.

[He who does not enter in the right way will not advance.]

“Hmm. It was like this from the beginning…”

I’d rather have a monster.

Because I am confident enough to deal with any monster.

But I didn’t think this was too bad.

Because I have a blink with a cooldown of zero that breaks the restrictions of distance.

Moreover, since I am alone here, no one will notice the blink of my zero cooldown.

First, we moved straight from the north.

Blink is used in succession.

While Ashirante moved to the dungeon of the Salimaru Bandits.

Chairman Seo Dae-young could not straighten his wrinkled face.

I’ve never had a reaction like that, even though I’ve brought all of Daeyu’s reputed strong men in front of Montt.

As such, Montt’s actions mean that Ashirante’s chances of success are high.

As Chairman Seo Dae-young, there was no choice but to worry.

Indeed, if Ashirante succeeds in clearing it with one challenge, there is nothing worse than this.

It’s like writing a dog.

No, it was like making porridge and nutritious side dishes.

Chairman Seo Dae-young prayed and prayed that he would fail.

This will give you a chance to cancel the bet.

And inside, he spat out a swear word towards Lee Nak-seon, the head of the intelligence department, who suggested that we try to thread Ashirante as the first quest.

“Blink. Blink. Blink.”

Use the stretch blink to continue on the first north path you chose.

But nothing showed up.

Moreover, it took less than a minute, but considering the distance traveled, it is bound to be a considerable distance.

If you moved at a normal gait, almost an hour? no, more than that.

And a message rang as if he had noticed such a sign of mine.

[You have entered the wrong way.]

“……”

I moved at the most, but I felt frustrated that the message that echoed was that message.

Of course, to be honest, I didn’t even suffer a single thing.

And the message rang louder as if that wasn’t the end.

[A trap is triggered in return for entering the wrong path.]

rippling rippling.

A small sound was heard along with the message.

the sound of something flowing.

And the sound of the flowing water gradually grew louder.

Of course, this alone gave me a rough feeling.

In movies that focus on exploration or adventure, one of the traps that the main character encounters at least once is the scene where a huge amount of water pours in when trapped in a cave.

And it didn’t go beyond my expectations.

Because a stream of water rushing at an incredible speed, filling the cave that appeared in front of it, appeared.

“her. Are you really going to make a movie for this?”

Of course, it will not be able to present a tense scene to the audience.

I don’t think so.

Because I have a blink with a zero cooldown.
