Chapter 269: Finding the Forgotten Empire (3)
‘I… want to take it…!’
Ian was holding onto the Dinsional Magic Power Charger in his hand, and his appetite to take it was rising.
‘This one, Will he give it if I ask for it?’
Gripper and Ian’s affinity was so high that it couldn’t be raised any further.
Any item could be taken if the affinity was a high, but sohow, this seed like an item that would be tough to get.
At the end of the information for the Dinsional Magic Power Charger, it was written as ‘The most cherished item of Gripper’, this made it seem tough.
‘Huh… I guess I’ll just have to try…’
Ian feeling a bit let down put the Dinsional Magic Power Charger from his hand back onto the table.
Then Ian’s eyes looked at the system ssage that ca on.
[You have not t the requirents for using the item ‘Dinsional Bead’.]
[Item is sealed.]
“Damn.”
After placing the item back onto the table, Ian turned his gaze to a different side of the room.
Gripper’s studio had a lot of stuff, and Ian hadn’t even seen half of them.
At that mont, a low resonating sound started to co from the center of the studio.
Woong- Woong-!
Ian’s gaze moved to the place where a blue light began to form, and a portal was being opened.
And from that portal, ca out Gripper.
“Phew, I ca right away… have you been waiting long?”
Ian who had just reunited with Gripper, spoke in the brightest and the most cheerful voice possible.
“No, No. At this point, I don’t even know how long I’ve been waiting for. You ca here real quick.”
When Ian spoke all that with a smiling face, Gripper opened his mouth, while being a little flushed.
“Uh. Is that so? I ca here in a hurry thinking that you would wait.” Gripper brought his composure back and spoke to Ian after a gap of a few seconds.
“Anyway, here you go… are you all ready to go to the Ancient Maurya Empire?”
Ian nodded.
“Yes. Being in the Dinsional war for a few days made realize that the item from the Wheel-Turning King/ King of Rings would be necessary.”
Once Ian was done with speaking, Gripper looked pleased.
“Kue, Great…! Ian you think quick and so are your actions… This was the right choice.”
Gripper who was done speaking—stretched out one hand and pointed towards the air.
A round ball ca from the air.
“Now, I’m going to open the door to the Ancient Maurya Empire. Is there anything I can do for you, apart from opening the portal?”
Ian was thinking of completing the quest, and then ask Gripper for the Dinsional Magic Power Charger.
But since Gripper had himself asked, there was no way Ian would willingly let go of the opportunity.
“Actually, yes. Can I just ask one thing?”
“Hmm… Please tell . I will do it if it is sothing I can do…!”
Gripper was a little puzzled as Ian had taken his sweet ti to reply.
And Ian, realizing the high affinity he had with Gripper, nodded his head and spoke.
Ian glanced towards the table and pointed in the direction of an item with a high magnitude of magical power.
“Maybe… You can give that thing?”
Upon seeing the item, Grippers eyes wavered.
“That thing…? Which one are you saying? Point it for .”
As the request from Gripper, Ian took the item into his hand and brought it into the sight of Gripper’s eyes.
“This thing. I feel like I need this thing. Do you rember the Dinsional Bead that you gave the last ti…? I could use it if I have this thing.”
“Ha… Ho…”
Gripper started to sweat and had an uncomfortable expression.
“How did you know about the Dinsional Magic Power charge? I don’t rember telling you about this…”
Ian replied with a mix of lies.
“My beads seem to have responded when I got near this thing. So I found out.”
Gripper replied out of courtesy.
“Hmm… Is that so…”
Ian kept looking at Gripper’s eyes.
‘I think this much push is enough, this should be enough to persuade him, right?’
If this was sothing that should never be handed, then Ian wouldn’t have wanted it either.
‘Then, before his thoughts drift onto the ‘not giving ’ part, I should change his mind using sothing…’
Ian was thinking of sothing that he could offer to Gripper.
He thought that since he had accepted the request from Gripper, this should be sothing that could be offered to him for exchange.
Ian imdiately said to Gripper.
“Gripper, did you think that you were the only one giving away stuff?”
Gripper’s face brightened up a little.
“Ooh…? You also have sothing to give ?”
Ian started to think hard.
‘The things that I have with … would Gripper want sothing from it?’
Ian started to recollect.
For a long ti, Ian had hunted many monsters and went on nurous quests, so there should have been at least one thing that Gripper would have been interested in.
After thinking for a minute or so, Ian’s mind ca up with a thing.
‘Yes! That thing…!’
The item that Ian had thought needed to be sowhere in the corner of his inventory.
‘The strange egg that I received when I was in the first round of summoning…! I could give that to Gripper.’
Gripper was very fond of exploring things in veils.
And to such a person (NPC), giving an ‘Unknown egg’ would have him very interested.
‘Even if there is sothing great in it, there is nothing to do with it. For now, it is completely useless to , right?’
The familiar in the egg is awakened when it ets the parents of the sa species, or when certain conditions are t.
However, Ian had tried every possible way for this ‘unknown egg’ to hatch, but it didn’t.
Once a user knows the kind of egg it was, they could find clues to the process of hatching, but because this was an egg whose identity couldn’t be known and it was just an egg to Ian.
Ian settled his thoughts and picked up the item ‘Unknown egg’ from his inventory.
“Gripper, this is one of the hard-earned items I had received when fighting a Legendary ranked monster in the 50th zone. I would like to give this to you Gripper… Is it alright?”
Ian looked into Grippers eyes. It was because he had exaggerated a little bit.
‘I didn’t get this from hunting a legendary ranked monster, but it is true that I found it in the 50th zone where I had hunted the Legendary ranked monster, so this isn’t entirely a lie!’
Ian, who was rationalizing his thoughts reached it out to Gripper.
And like Ian had known, Gripper’s gaze was completely fixed on the egg.
“Wow… This one, anyone can know that this is a rare thing in a single glance.”
Ian looked at the admiration Gripper had in his eyes, and muttered to himself.
‘Well, it is an incredibly rare thing. This is a great thing for a person who likes to explore, rather than being a user.’
Gripper, who took the egg from Ian, began to explore the egg much diligently.
“Keu, the smooth reddish texture and the light that is leaking out from it… if this thing hatches, then this would be a really big deal.”
As Gripper murmured, Ian’s hands started to shiver.
‘Is, is it really…? This wouldn’t have a very rare legendary class in it… right?’
Just words coming from Gripper, and it had shaken Ian imdiately.
Ian made his stand on the decision.
‘No, there is no way that a great thing could co out of it that easily.’
Ian, who had fixed his mind on taking the Dinsional Magic Power Charger looked at Gripper who was still interested in the egg and opened his mouth.
“I really think that there is sothing very trendously powerful in it.”
At this, Gripper asked.
“But can you really give it to ?”
Ian scratched the back of his neck and replied.
“It is really upsetting… but I couldn’t figure out how to hatch it with my abilities. So I thought that you, being the Great Gripper would be able to hatch this egg.”
The word ‘Great’ started to get into the head of Gripper.
“Well, Uhmm. Great is too much. I’m not such a person.”
Ian’s new plan was launched in success.
“No. Wasn’t it the wisdom from you that made it possible for hunting down a Griffin? If you ask , there is no one other than Gripper who can possibly make this egg hatch.”
Gripper was feeling better and smiled, he picked up the Dinsional Magic Power Charger from the table.
And at last, the thing Ian had been waiting for.
“Nice. I plan on trusting your skill and abilities when giving this dinsional charger to you… it is a very precious thing. This is a thing that I crafted after spending a long period of ti… but since I already made it once, I’m sure I can make another one way much easier.”
Ian took the Dinsional charger from Gripper.
And Ian’s vision ca up with a few system ssages.
[Handed the item ‘Unknown Egg’ to the Magical Alchemist Gripper.]
[Received the item ‘Dinsional Magic Power Charger’ from Magical Alchemist Gripper.]
[The condition for using the Dinsional Bead has been t.]
[The item is unsealed.]
[Magical Alchemist of the Dinsion, ‘Gripper’ is very happy with the exchange.]
[Affinity with Gripper has increased by 5.]
Ian had a questioned expression.
‘What, affinity with Gripper went further up?’
The Affinity with an NPC was a stat that could not be confird by opening an information window.
It was a fact that the basic affinity with NPC’s was 50. and one has to calculate and rember the affinity—they got to know the level of affinity, and there was no other way to know the stats.
But Ian rembered how high his affinity with Gripper was, and according to his mory…
‘Adding today’s affinity, it is 105 points.’
The affinity with Gripper was over 100 points.
‘I thought that affinity was a structure that doesn’t go above 100.’
Whatever it was, Ian smiled brightly looking at Gripper and entered new information into his head.
“I’ll use it well, Gripper. I’ll be able to find the item of Wheel-Turning King—that will help us all.”
Gripper gave a satisfied smile and replied,
“Huh, I’m feeling great to be able to give you my stuff. It is a hard-to-make item, but it is a great item to use.”
After a few monts of silence, Ian and Gripper were ready to proceed into the quest.
Gripper closed the portal that he used to co and opened a new portal.
This was a portal that could take them to the ancient Mauria Empire.
‘Okay, should I go in now…?’
Ian’s lip corners were slightly raised.
Now it was the ti to see the Wheel-Turning King/ King of Rings!
