It seems to be able to cut adamantium, a pet-only weapon, a sword made of Arang’s nails with incredible cutting power.
“…”
Ming Hu was speechless when he saw Arang Sword’s options. Arang Sword had some truly deceptive options-armor piercing, extra damage, etc.-but there was one problem.
“…a pet-only weapon?”
The sword in this deceptive option was that it was a pet-only weapon. When I first saw the word humanoid in the restriction, I didn’t understand what it meant. But when I read the equipment description and realized it was a pet-only weapon, my brow furrowed.
“…Ha.”
Ming Hu let out a short sigh. It was then.
“Huh? What is this?”
Thompson, next to him, looked at Arangum and asked.
“Oh. I personally made a sword once.”
“Ho-ho! May I have a look?”
“Oh, yeah.”
At Thompson’s request, Ming Hu nodded in agreement.
Sigh
When Ming Hu agreed, Thompson picked up the arang sword and began to examine it.
“Wow. That’s great.”
Thompson looked at the Arang sword, then grabbed it and swung it around.
“You can swing it and it doesn’t jam at all… you’re amazing!”
Thompson said, lowering his sword.
“…Ah! Thank you.”
Ming Hu paused for a moment, a thought crossing his mind as he watched Thompson brandish the sword, then opened his mouth to speak. Then Thompson turned away, and Ming Hu looked back at the arang sword and thought, “I’m going to have to go.
“Should I get a mercenary NPC?
Mercenary NPCs are not pets, but they are treated as such. Furthermore, a high-ranking mercenary NPC would have a steed that could wield the Arang Sword.
“I’ll have to stop by later.
Sigh
Ming Hu placed the Arang Sword in his inventory.
“But… what should I do with those?
Ming Hu frowned slightly as he looked at the items that came into view after inserting the Arang Sword. There were three items in total that Ming Hu was looking at.
The first item was a letter from Rexa Dremen, a member of the Countess of Dremen and former leader of the Knights of the Old Blade. Honestly, the letter was the easiest of the three items to handle.
“I’ll have to get it to you.
It was a bit of a hassle to travel all the way to the Count of Dremen’s estate, but he was also curious to see what the Count might have to say that he hadn’t seen. Ming Hu tore his gaze away from the letter and looked at the second item.
<Tome of Death [Artifact
It's so old that you can't tell when it was made or where it was made. But despite its age, its condition is as pristine as if it had just been made. Only the right people can see it.
The second item was the Tome of Death. An unidentified artifact class item with only the item's information available. I was at a loss as to what to do with it.
'I can't throw it away…'
It bothered me that it was an artifact, but I didn't know what it was that I couldn't sell.
Sigh
Looking at the Book of Death, Ming Hu turned slightly to look at the third and final item.
<Rich Karot's corpse
This is the corpse of Richie Karot.
Ming Hu thought as he looked at Karot's corpse.
"The biggest problem is this…
The most difficult to dispose of was Karot's corpse. I had no idea what to do with it.
"I'd rather trade it in or sell it."
Karot's corpse was a unique item. It could not be exchanged. Frowning at the corpse, Ming Hu closed his inventory.
Sigh
He picked up his hammer to craft the item and opened the crafting window, but then a thought occurred to him and he put the hammer down and opened his inventory again.
"Might as well get it now, right?"
There were no quests available at the moment anyway. Deciding it would be a good idea to solve the letter now, Ming Hu exited the forge and made his way to the Warp Gate, passing through the entrance to the Imperial Palace. Arriving at the Warp Gate a short time later, he approached the Wizard NPC, who was waiting for a guest.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to Dresden."
"Five gold."
Sigh
When the NPC extended his hand, Ming Hu took out 5 gold and handed it to the mage.
"Let's go."
The Wizard NPC took the money and walked ahead to the warp gate. Ming Hu followed behind and entered the warp gate, then stopped walking when the Wizard NPC stopped walking.
"Warp."
"Yes."
Ming Hu nodded at the Wizard NPC's words. After hearing Ming Hu's answer, the Wizard NPC closed his eyes and began muttering something.
Siaak
Ming Hu closed his eyes as a white light enveloped his body.
Boom
He slowly opened his eyes at the sudden sensation of being pushed open. Realizing that he had arrived in Dremen, Ming Hu exited the Warp Gate and headed straight for the Count's house.
"I'm going to visit the Count of Dremen… where is he?"
"It's over there."
Of course, Ming Hu doesn't know the location of the Count of Dremen's mansion, so he asks around, asking other players and NPCs.
'You're a big guy, too.
Arriving in front of the Count of Dremen's mansion a short time later, Ming Hu muttered to himself as he looked at the large wall that surrounded the mansion. He then walked straight to the entrance. There were two soldiers guarding the entrance.
Swoosh swoosh
When the two soldiers saw Ming Hu approaching the entrance, they looked at each other and exchanged a glance, and then the soldier on the left turned to Ming Hu and said, "Ming Hu, you are coming.
"Please wait a moment."
At the soldier's words, Ming Hu stopped walking, and the soldier bowed his head slightly in greeting, then opened his mouth to speak.
"This is Count Dremen. Would you mind telling me what brings you here?"
At the soldier's words, Ming Hu opened his inventory and pulled out a letter.
"I have a letter for you from Rexa Dremen."
"What? You mean the letter from Lexa Dremen?"
At Ming Hu's words, the soldier exclaimed with a look of Chapter surprise; then, glancing at the letter, he quickly continued.
"Please wait a moment."
Dada Dada Dada
The soldier quickly returned to the entrance, said "Moor" to the soldier guarding the entrance with him, and went inside. A moment later, the door opened, and a stout man who appeared to be in his mid-30s came out with the soldier who had gone inside and approached Ming Hu.
"My name is Dremen, Gazurouin, Count of Dremen."
Approaching and introducing himself, Lu Yin looked at the letter in Ming Hu's hand and continued.
"I heard you brought a letter from your brother… is that it?"
"Yes, here it is."
Ming Hu hands Lu Yin a letter.
"…"
Lu Yin took the letter and began to read it wordlessly. But halfway through, Lu Yin folded it up and put it in his pocket, then looked at Ming Hu and said, "I'm sorry.
"I'm afraid I'm rude to my guest, please come inside."
"Ah…yes."
Hearing Lu Yin's words, Ming Hu went with Lu Yin to the drawing room. When they reached the parlor, Lu Yin looked at Ming Hu and opened his mouth.
"We'd appreciate your patience."
"Yes."
Hearing Ming Hu's answer, Lu Yin smiled slightly and hurried out of the parlor. Ming Hu sat back in his chair and looked around the room.
Jumbled
As Ming Hu was looking around the parlor, he heard someone enter the parlor and turned his head to look toward the source of the sound.
* * * * *
"Are you sure?"
Alkan frowned slightly and opened his mouth to speak. Then a voice began to flow from the crystal ball.
-Yes, Your Majesty. Judging by the contents of the letter, the wizard who stole the golden book is hiding in the lush greenery.
"Hmm… Well, there's no way the Blade Knights are going to let the Red Kobolds get to them. Alright, Count Luin, I'll see you later."
-Yes, Your Majesty.
Suk
Count Luin's figure disappeared from the crystal ball. Alkan turned away from the crystal ball and looked at Revil.
"What do you want me to do?"
At Alkan's words, Revil opened his mouth to speak.
"I think we need to send in the cavalry as soon as possible."
"Why?"
"The mages say that the mage has already surpassed the seventh circle and will only grow stronger. We need to nip it in the bud before it gets any stronger."
Alkan nodded at Revil's words. Then he opened his mouth to speak.
"So who should we send on the mauling party? The mid-level Knights of the Blade have been wiped out…"
"I think it would be a good idea to mobilize the Red Drake Knights and the Mages, the higher-ranked knights who have returned from the frontier, to form a raiding party."
At Revil's words, Alkan smiled and scribbled something on a piece of paper.
"Then get me Knight Red Drake and Mr. Crime."
"Yes."
Alkan's words caused Revil to turn around, but his next words caused Revil to turn around again.
"Oh, wait. This."
"…?"
Revil shook his head as he looked at the paper Alkan handed him. Seeing his reaction, Alkan continued.
"Tell him."
Alkan's words made Revil think for a moment about who Alkan was referring to, and when he remembered, he opened his mouth to speak.
"I see."
Sigh
Handed the paper, Revil left the chamber to summon the Red Drake Knights and Crime. As Revil left, Alkan stood up and stretched, muttering to himself.
"Who's faster…"
