When Ian saw the female NPC who had a beautiful appearance with long and pointed ears reminiscent of fairies, his mood lightened.
“I came because I wanted to see the artifacts that were inside. ”
"I saw . Can I know the name of the person who entered? I'll check the contributions you have. ”
Ian nodded as he responded.
"That's 'Ian'. ”
“Alright, Ian, please wait a minute. ”
And the NPC, who put something into the magic ball floating next to the entrance, put on a shocked expression as he returned to Ian.
"Ah, you are the Messenger!"
While staring at the NPC, whose affinity had increased tremendously, Ian had a bitter expression as he nodded his head.
"Yes that's right . How much contribution do I have? "
"You have 5 thousand in contributions. ”
“Ah-ha, so. ”
As Ian remembered.
To be honest, since no one would increase his contribution after receiving 5 thousand contributions from reaching the first 50 level, that was an obvious fact.
"Through here, Ian. There are many artifacts and skill books that you can trade for donations in them. ”
"Okay thank you . ”
The NPC, who brought Ian into the clearing house, smiled as he slightly dipped his head.
“Ian, if there is an item you like after you check your heart contents, let me know. ”
"Good . ”
When the NPCs returned to their seats, Ian began to look at the items inside the clearing house solemnly.
Since Ian's level wasn't that high, there was a limit to the items he could see, but even so, it was a considerable amount.
“Because no users have traded their contributions for goods. ”
Since there had not been two days since the tower was created, there could not have been any users with contributions including Ian.
No matter how simple the search is, the average class search takes a day.
Ian lifted the items on the screen one by one and checked the options.
'Oho, this is in the same category as the knuckle I bought from the auction not too long ago. ”
The item Ian picked up was the 'Ancient Summoning Steel Sword'.
From item names and level limits to options, it was an item that was very similar to Ian's knuckles.
Ian checked the required contributions written in front of the item.
'Hm, 350 contributions? The value of this item is all around this, so. '
Usually among the given quests of the grade tower, if you complete one whose difficulty level is around the B-rank, you can get around 200-400 contributions depending on some other conditions.
If put like that, 350 contributions is not a big amount.
Ian suddenly recalled the 'Dragon Fur Tamer' item he had equipped.
'Could there be an item in between that you can get through a contribution that is as good as my fur ornament?'
Other than whether the choice of the Feather Ornament Dragon Tamer was good or bad, its own rank was a Legendary ranked item.
Legendary ranked items were so rare that he had only seen them a few times before resetting, and only about twice in the clearing house of the Archery Tower.
'Is it around lv 80 when I first saw a Legendary ranked item in the Archer Tower?'
The higher your level, the more often higher ranked items appear in the clearing house.
As expected, Ian thought that he needed to level up quickly.
He actually browsed through the items in the clearing house, but they were all items on the same level.
Since he was only 50 years old, that was definitely a thing.
"Hm, I'm done here now …"
He found some items he liked, but he felt it would be best if he bought them by looking through the auction if they were at that level.
It seems wiser to save his contribution and change it to a better item later.
'Time to go see the next room. '
The next room was where you could exchange skill books.
He wanted to trade for at least one decent skill book if any.
'Should we look at offensive skills first?'
Summoners already had no offensive skills from the start, but the skills from the 'Taming Master' class changed by Ian class were even more tame-based.
That is why Ian is currently in a situation where offensive skills are almost non-existent for him.
It was fun to order the Familiar he had raised well to fight, but it was also fun for Ian to contribute to the fight personally as well.
That was why he was thinking of buying offensive skills first.
“'Flame Tent'? There are some exclusive magician skills, right? ”
Ian took out a skill called Flame Tent and read it.
Fire Tent
Classification – Active Skills.
Expertise Lv – lv 0.
Skill Rating – Rare.
Proficiency – 0%.
Consumption Price – 20 Spirit Magic.
Cooldown Time – 3 minutes.
The fire spirit was summoned and temporarily made a fire tent. If an enemy attack is blocked with a fire tent being made, damage equivalent to 350% of the user's Summoner Magic is absorbed, and 200% of the fire damage is returned.
* Skill Acquisition Qualification: Can only be obtained if the passive skill 'Flame Spirt Summoning' has already been learned.
Ian's eyes were shining.
"Oho, this is how Summoning Magic and Spirit Magic are used?"
This was the first time he had discovered the use of newly created special grade skills that he had acquired after reaching the age of 50.
Summoner Magic is the stat that affects the offensive power of offensive magic, and Spirit Magic is the consumption price for using skills.
In the case of a Witch, it would be similar to Mana.
'Let's see here, what's my statistic now?'
Ian opened his stat window for the first time and checked his stats.
'My Summoning Magic is 500? My Spirit magic reached 100 .. Hm, then if I use this skill, does that mean I will absorb a maximum of 1,750 damage, and deal 1000 damage? It took up about 1/5 of my Spirit Magic. '
That's not a bad skill.
However, thinking of a 3-minute cooldown time, it was also not a great skill.
'Should we look at other skills as well?'
Ian checked out some other skills. And not long after, he was able to come to a conclusion.
'So Spirit is basically the base for offensive magic for Summoners. What kind of Spirit I chose from the beginning should also be important. '
Before he chose offensive magic, he needed to think about what elemental spirit he would choose as his passive skill.
'Fire and Ice are good too, but somehow I'm interested in Lightning. '
Ian raised the 'Lightning Spirit Summoning' skill and momentarily pondered.
'I felt like it could cover up the attacks of other elemental properties even as a familiar. '
Looking at Ddukdae, whom Ian had with him at the moment, he was basically the familiar type of Ice.
And Ian could think of some monsters that he could tame and use immediately for Fire or Earth type, but none of them actually appeared for Lightning-type monsters.
'Alright, let's go to the first Lightning-type offensive magic. '
Since he couldn't learn another spirit type later because he learned the Lightning type, Ian immediately made up his mind.
'Hm, it requires 500 contributions. Kind of wasteful but … '
Ian, who was holding the 'Summoning Spirit Lighting' skill book, started to see through the Lightning-type offensive attack.
And he was able to find a skill he liked shortly afterwards.
Classification – Active Skills.
Expertise Lv – lv 0.
Skill Rating – Heroes.
Proficiency – 0%.
Consumption Price – 15 Spirit Magic.
Cooldown Time – 1 minute.
The Spirit of Lightning was summoned and created two balls that flowed with lightning in each hand.
If the created ball of lightning is thrown and hits the enemy, 250% of the damage that can occur from Summoning Magic will be distributed to the enemy and the ball will be divided into 4 and shoot in all directions.
If the firing ball hits a nearby enemy or geographical feature, they will fire again, and after defending their country for 5 seconds, they disappear completely.
Enemies suffering from Current Proliferation have a 15% chance of getting into a 'paralyzed' state for 20 seconds.
If it goes into a 'paralyzed' state, the movement is slowed by 30%, and if it is hit by a Lightning-type attack, 50% of the damage will be received.
* Skill Acquisition Requirements: Can only be obtained if the passive skill of 'Spirt Lightning Summoning' has already been learned.
* Skills Summoning Skills Requirement: Can only be summoned when the Spirit of Lightning is summoned.
* If the 'paralyzed' condition is called, the cooldown time is reset.
Compared to other Heroic-ranked offensive skills, his offensive power was on the lower side, but Ian liked Recent Proliferation the most.
'His Attack Power is a little weak, but my attack is not strong enough the main force of the fight. '
He needed to use Current Proliferation to figure it out, but he could deal damage to many enemies at once and since he could even cripple them, he thought it would be the most useful.
And if he was lucky and paralysis was constantly called out at 15% chance, he felt he could fire the attack randomly by resetting the cooldown time.
'If I hit many enemies at once, I could actually shoot randomly continuously. '
It was clearly as an opportunity to apply the effect of paralysis on at least one part of the ride every time he hit an enemy.
In the case of luck where paralysis was constantly carried out, he could at least invoke the skills 6 times one after another.
Since he had not tried it in reality, he could not feel it, but he felt it was really a good skill.
'Contributions don't feel like a waste. '
It was a skill that required 1,200 contributions. Even so, Ian grabbed the skill book without hesitation.
When Ian came out holding the two skill books, the NPC, who was standing at the entrance, smiled brightly at him as he approached him.
"Geez, have you chosen everything, Ian?"
"Yes, these two books are here. ”
As Ian stretched out the two skill books, the NPC momentarily examined them and responded.
"Hm, let's look here. You need a total of 1,700 contributions. ”
Ian nodded as he replied.
"Yes, I'll use it. ”
“You really chose a very good skill. Are there no more items you want to trade now? "
Since he intended to save the remaining 3300 donations, there was nothing else he could see here.
"Yes nih . I'll come later. ”
"All right, come on again!"
Ian used a total of 1,700 such contributions, and after trading for two skill books, he left the Tower of Summoners.
And before long, he used a skill book and learned both skills.
You have obtained the skill of 'Shortening Spirit' by using the skill book.
You have acquired the 'Proliferation of the Present' skill by using the skill book.
Along with the two lines of system messages that appeared, small sparks began to appear before Ian's eyes.
"Huh? What'sthis?"
Ian watched the yellow lights that made a static noise along with an interested expression. And the lumping lamp slowly grew, it created one shape.
You have summoned the Spirit of Lightning for the first time. You can give a name.
Ian momentarily looked at the Lightning Spirit that appeared before his eyes with a blank expression.
The spirit had a comical appearance reminiscent of a small sparrow.
"Hm, your name is …"
While Ian was thinking of a name, the summoned spirit started flying, distracting Ian, and shouted.
Chirp-Chir-Chir-Chirp-chirp-chirp!
At that moment, he decided to name what spirit.
“Jjaekee [1], I'll make it Jjaekee. ”
As expected, it was Ian, who preferred names that were simple and easy to pronounce.
Ian this time also named the spirit after the voice he made without difficulty.
The name 'Lightning Spirit has become' Jjaekee '.
From someone else's point of view, it was a very half-hearted name, but Ian was very pleased with his own naming senses.
'Jjaekee, that's an easy name to pronounce and it's funny!'
Ian called Jjaekee.
"Jjaekee, come. ”
As he stretched out his hand while speaking, the little yellow bird that flew through the air without a break quickly flew up and sat on top of Ian's hand.
Chirp-tongue
Whether it was due to the influence of the spark flying nearby, Jjaekee's cry had a bit more agitated voice compared to the cries of other normal baby birds.
'Does that say Zap-Za-Zap-[2]? It was as if it ensured that everyone knew it was the Spirit of Lightning. '
While staring at Jjaekee, who let out a small cry between the chirping and sparks of his flying voice, Ian smiled in satisfaction.
“It looks like this one at least doesn't need any Leadership stats. ”
He likes that part the most.
Ian checked the information of Jjaekee, who was looking at him with bright, beaded eyes on his hands.
Jjaekee (Spirit of Lightning)
Spirit Capacity: 0/1000.
Type: Lightning.
Rank: Low level spirits.
Calling Duration: 375 minutes. (Cooling time: 500 minutes)
* After the Spirit Capacity reaches its maximum, it develops into a higher rank spirit.
(When Summoning Magic requiring Lightning type is used, a fixed amount of Spirit Capacity is filled.)
* The higher the Summoner Summoner Magic, the longer the Summoning Duration becomes.
Ian laughed bitterly as he looked at the relatively simpler information window.
'Then, that means he has no Offensive Power?'
It seemed like Jjaekee did not have any actual fighting ability.
Due to his small and cute appearance, Ian did not anticipate much, but he was still bitter.
'No wonder it doesn't say you need Leadership stats .. So, I just need to think of Jjaekee as the necessary medium to use Lightning-type Summoning Magic. '
There were some unfortunate parts, but there were also some parts that he had been waiting for.
After all, if it fulfilled its Spirit Capacity to the maximum, it said that it evolved into a higher rank spirit, so there was a possibility that it could then develop other skills.
“Having a strong one from the start is good, too, but as expected in the game, you have to improve it at a low level to feel the victory. '
Ian thought in a positive way like this, and started to move.
"Now, shall we go see King Celias or whatever?"
Ian's footsteps leaving the guards to meet the king were light.
The imperial palace was not far from Flinor Square.
