Master Taming

Chuck.

When Ian reached the entrance of the imperial palace, two guards blocked the front.

"For what reason did you come here?"

Ian was surprised for a moment.

This was because he had never gone to the Luspel Imperial Palace before even resetting his character.

'Hm ... I don't even have a certificate or something like that to show them, so what should I do?'

Ian who thought about it for a moment, said what first came to his mind.

“I am the Calling Envoy, Ian. Hearing the words His Majesty the Emperor sought me out, I came to see him. ”

Using the most polite words he could, as it would be difficult if he even dropped the Affinity guards to him by speaking in an arrogant manner.

On the other hand, the guards, who heard Ian's words, slightly tilted their heads as they scratched their backs.

"Please wait a minute . I'll go ask the Guard Commander. ”

"All right, I'll wait. ”

One of the two guards walked up to the castle gate in quick strides and disappeared somewhere.

And before long, a man hurriedly ran out from within.

Behind him was the guard who had just entered.

"Oh, I see the Envoy has come. I didn't tell the guards before, so I've made a disrespectful mistake. ”

It seemed that the man was the Guard Commander protecting the castle gate.

At the unexpected treatment (?), Ian did not know where to put himself.

While playing Kailran, this was the first time he had seen NPCs show politeness before he could stack Affinity with them.

'Hm ... What is this? Did they react like this because of the king's search? '

To be honest, from the point of view of the mere guards, it was clear that they should not be comfortable since it was the guest the king was looking for, but Ian was unaware of it.

"No, yeah .. It's okay. I can get in, right? "

The Guardian Commander nodded quickly.

"Of course, Ian. I'll show you the way in. ”

As the Guard Commander took the lead, the tightly shut castle gates opened, and Ian slowly followed.

"But I wonder, what is that Commander of the Guards?"

The leader of the Vigilante Lapierre, who gave the Goblin Camping Ground Quest, was around the mid-90s.

Ian, who was suddenly curious, slightly looked at the information of the Guard Commander.

Maolins

Lv: 115t.

Task: Commander of the Guard.

Aside from his level and task, all of his information was kept private, but with just that, Ian's eyes widened.

'What, why is the level of Guard Commanders guarding the castle on the outskirts of 115? Ranker level 1 might not even have reached 120 … '

Ian's surprised.

This was because he thought that his level would be the most similar to that of vigilante leader Lapierre.

'Let's take a look here, then I wonder what level the guard is at. '

Ian, who checked the guards' information, was even more astonished.

This was because the guards that followed behind Ian were lv 104 and 107 respectively.

'Ha, I think I now know the reason why the top ranked guilds don't even dare to touch the base of the Colonar Continent despite their overwhelming strength. '

If you upset the Empire, where mere guards numbered 100, it looks like the entire guild will be obliterated.

Thinking of this, the Lotus guild that occupied the base through this northern expedition felt even more valuable.

'I have to level up quickly and help them expand the domain of the headquarters. '

While Ian was thinking this and that, the party was getting closer and closer to the imperial palace.

@

The highest peak of Snow Mountain Crupia, Karon Peak.

A man, who was holding both hand weapons that looked like sharp daggers, was fighting the Ice Troll alone.

Roar-!

The troll let out a terrible scream, and swung his huge staff towards the man.

Wh-bang!

However, the big club of trolls could not even touch the lower end of the man's clothes and simply turned the innocent stone into dust.

However, when looking closely, the troll he faced was not a normal Ice Troll.

That troll, about 1.5 times larger than a normal Ice Troll and carrying a huge club emitting blue snow, was a Heroic rank monster and was a Boss rank monster from Karon Peak, 'Ice Troll Warrior's'.

Ta-tat-s.

As if toying with the troll with extremely light footwork, the man spilled all his attacks and dug out the closest points of the troll in an instant.

However, as if a troll was waiting for it, with another hand that did not hold a stick, he clasped onto the man's shoulder.

No, it looks like he caught it.

Slip-a.

For a moment, the man's body disappeared into the air like a mirage. The troll, shocked by it, instantly became helpless, and the man showed himself behind the troll before he came to his senses.

"It's dead. ”

Two daggers that gave off sharp energy sliced through the troll's back.

Roaaar!

The troll let out a horrible shriek full of pain.

And the man did not let the moment pass.

"Huh-huh!"

Along with a short cry of concentration, his daggers began to absorb black energy that was like smoke.

And the daggers that had absorbed all the smoke, they turned into a pitch-black color that looked as if it would not reflect the slightest bit of light and dug into the troll's heart.

Pook!

The Ice Troll Warrior's skin, which allowed the final attack, began to darken and die.

And the black energy from the daggers lodged in the troll's heart exploded in all directions.

In the end, the troll's body turned into a gray light slowly disappeared.

“Wah, the one thing he really has is being able to take a hit really well. ”

The man, who was collecting items from the troll's corpse, wiped away the sweat that rolled his forehead and muttered.

"Does it take another quarter of a day to reach level 50 now?"

Surprisingly, the man, who caught the 'Ice Troll Warrior' lv 65, was lv 49.

And his class is a new class of 'Assassin'.

"I'm just lv 49 .. But you mean there's already a new class user who reached lv 50 a few days ago, right?"

One corner of his mouth slightly rolled up.

“And on top of that, a Caller... Hoho, I look forward to it. ”

The man stuck his grip on the dagger and started to move slowly.

“Because there are still about four days until the arena opens, I might be able to relax a bit. ”

He stopped in front of a steep cliff that looked like it was cut.

And to his surprise, he threw his body to the bottom of the cliff.

That was at the time.

Hwa-reu-title.

The man's body turned into the shape of a black eagle and casually flew between the peaks before disappearing.

“Oh, so you're Ian. ”

Ian, who met King Celias, was very nervous.

Since all the king's information was kept private, he couldn't figure out what level he was at, but just standing in front of him he felt extremely overpowered.

“I imagine a gray-haired old grandpa, but he's really young. '

Rather than the image of the king, King Celias, who at first glance looked like he was in his early 30s, had more of a feeling similar to that of an iron-willed ruler.

"Yes sir . I've heard that you're looking for me … "

Even before Ian's words were finished, Celias responded.

"Religion . When I heard the news that someone as incredibly talented as you was in the Luspel Empire, how could I not look for you? "

Ian responded with a bitter expression.

“Yes, that's so. ”

And the system message appeared in Ian's view.

You have completed the search for 'Calling Submission'.

Your fame has increased by 1250.

He had just met the king, but his Fame increased by 1250 in an instant.

'As expected, the Royal Quest was different. '

While Ian was inwardly amazed, the words of King Celias continued.

“I find it very promising that a higher level Summoner appeared in our Luspel Empire before the Kaimon Empire. ”

The king raised his teacup and took a sip, while Ian quietly waited for his next words.

“That's because I've been waiting for a capable Summoner for a long time. ”

Ian asked back before he even regained consciousness.

"Why?"

On Ian's informal manner of speaking, the royal knight who was next to the king glared ferociously.

"You, how dare you think it's safe to talk as soon as possible!"

Ian momentarily flinched.

'Euh, I should have been more careful …'

He glanced at the king carefully, but fortunately, he did not have a bad expression.

"Haha, Yelp. It's okay, it's okay. Wasn't he an adventurer who didn't know the etiquette of the imperial family? "

"But…"

"Nothing but, I said it's fine. ”

As the king held him back, the royal knight had a displeased expression when he returned to his original place.

“Wah, what a relief. '

Ian felt relieved as he calmed his shocked heart.

'Even if he swung the bayonet, I would probably die in one hit. '

Ian's gaze momentarily stayed at the royal knight's bayonet.

Just from its appearance, it was a high-grade weapon that exuded dignity.

Ian, who was jolted back into the real world, slightly lowered his head towards Celias.

"Because I don't know the proper etiquette. ”

Celias looked at him with a warm smile and shook her head.

“No, it's okay. ”

And after taking a breath for a moment, his words continued.

“By the way, I will tell you the reason why I waited for a Summoner who was able to come. ”

Ian listened attentively to the words of the king with a very polite posture (?).

"Ian, do you happen to know what the emblem of the Luspel Empire is?"

Ian thought about it for a moment before nodding his head.

This was because right behind the throne where the king was sitting, a large embroidered animal immediately caught his attention.

"Isn't that Griffin?"

The emblem of the Luspel Empire was the Griffin.

The Griffin is a legendary animal that has a head, wings, and forelimbs that resemble a valiant eagle, while the body is brown and the hind legs are lion-shaped.

"Good . There are many who don't know, but it seems you know right. ”

While looking at King Celias, who was smiling in satisfaction, Ian was stunned.

"Aren't you an idiot if you don't know, when it's so obviously pulled back there?"

However, he wasn't that stupid to make the same mistake as getting those words out of his mouth.

“By the way, I will continue the story. ”

The king's words continued.

“About half a year ago, the royal court sent a delegation of royal knights to cross the Shikar Desert. ”

The Shikar Desert is a desert region located at the center of the Colonar Continent.

Among the users, the place was also called the Land of Death.

The reason why it was called the Land of Death was simple.

This was because the average level of monsters that appeared in the Shikar Desert was over 130.

It got to the point where any user did not dare to go to the Shikar Desert.

Celias, who momentarily took a breath, opened her mouth again.

“However, Hellaim, the captain who led the knight delegation, found Griffin's nest in the center of the Desert. ”

Ian, who heard those words, was shocked.

'What? Griffin is a monster that really exists? '

Separated from Ian's shock, Celias' words continued.

"The knight delegation used all their strength and in the end against the Griffin, they could kill them and get the egg. ”

Ian gulped down the air without him noticing.

'Holy, they even won …'

The Shikar Desert, also known as the Land of the Dead, and the legendary monsters found there.

When the knight delegation had captured Griffin, who certainly had unbelievable combat power without even Ian seeing it with his own two eyes, he was able to realize the strength of the Empire's knight delegation.

"I want to incubate the Griffin, which is the emblem of our Luspel Empire, and raise it in the inner garden of the imperial palace …"

Ian thought to himself.

“The king is not sane. Why did you raise such a monster inside the imperial palace? '

Slowly Ian started to get nervous about the upcoming quest.

“Although it has been more than half a year, Griffin eggs have not yet hatched. ”

Celias, who raised her teacup and took another sip, looked at Ian and opened her mouth.

“I hope you can find a way to hatch this Griffin egg. How about that, will you try it? ”

As soon as the story about Griffin's egg came out, it was the search content he had expected a little.

Ian had a crying expression.

"No, but, how do I know that? I've never even seen anything like a Familiar egg before. '

However, whether Ian was confused or not, a search notification appeared before his eyes without a doubt.

Ring- .

Griffin Egg (Quest Empire)

Delegates of the sultanate of the Knights King Celias are said to have found Griffin eggs half a year ago in the center of the Shikar Desert.

The knight delegation brought the Griffin egg to the imperial family, and King Celias wanted to raise the Imperial emblem, the Griffin, within the imperial family.

However, no one knew yet how to hatch a Griffin egg.

King Celias hopes that you, an outstanding Summoner, will be able to hatch Griffin eggs for him.

Quest Difficulty Level: –

Search Conditions: None.

Time Limit: Unknown.

Gift – one of the summoning skill books in the library of the imperial palace.

If you refuse the search, your Affinity with King Celias will go down. (If you don't have an Affinity, Your Hostility will rise.)

As he read the search content, Ian's skin started to darken.

'Ha ... Instead of me being Griffin's mother, how do they expect me to hatch this egg?'

It was a mind-shattering quest where he didn't even have a sense of where and how to begin.

'Above all that, there is not even a time limit, but, unknown? What does it mean to be unknown? '

The fact that he could not figure out when the search deadline ended made Ian even more nervous.

That meant that even if he failed the quest right now, it would not be a strange thing.

However, there was no need to refuse the search because of that.

This was because there was no difference in whether his Affinity with the king and his Fame came down from resisting the quest or failing the quest.

If that was the case, he should at least take it.

“Yes, I'll try it. ”

You have received a search.

The system message that appeared before Ian's eyes.

'Gee…'

Ian took a deep breath
