Absurd Reward

[Taquion Ring]

Quality: Epic

Effect: It has a personal interior space, and can store even dead creatures, but no living, time goes slower inside than the outside.

Syrth watched the equipment without saying a word, he found the rewards very generous and had doubts as to whether it was a trap or not, but he decided to accept them all and promised himself that if the Scarlet Copper Dragon Aldebaran needed any help in future he would immediately go to help you.

The light armor of dragon scales, it looked like the wings of a cicada so thin it was, it looked like it would break with a slight touch, but its resistance was absurd. Syrth quickly put it on his body and had the feeling that this outfit was the same as he wore in his secondary costume that was put before the main costume for his last trip however the armor didn't bother at all and looked as natural as he wears ordinary clothes, and only by looking closely could you see that the armor was made of dragon scales, for looking at the distance seemed to be made of some animal's fabric and leather. The cover appeared to be made of some kind of green and brown cloth, it also had a hood that could be placed over the head. The mask appeared to be made of wood with some traces of some other material having only two holes for the eyes and one for the nose where oxygen would enter. The ring looked very simple and common to others' eyes. It was simply a brass ring that could be bought from any market in any city, he checked inside and saw that it appeared to have a space the size of a small warehouse. , the ring would be quite useful for him.

"Are you sure you want to give me these Aldebaran items?" Syrth asked once more to confirm. "It doesn't matter which way I look at this bounty and a little too absurd for a simple puzzle challenge."

"You don't have to worry about the quality or value of the equipment — it's useless to me anyway. - Aldebaran said with a smug look on his face as he looked at the items he provides as a reward, as if they were rubbish, in fact he didn't care much about these types of items except for the light armor made with his scales and the Owner of Draconic Magic.

"Then I will accept them." But if you need any help in the future and just call me I'll run to help you this is a promise. - Syrth said.

Aldebaran would refuse his help however, he saw young Syrth's stubborn and resolute gaze and cannot refuse. "Sure if someday I need any help I'll call you for a mental message, now you can leave spring is almost over."

-What? As well as spring is ending I entered here at most mid winter. - Syrth was confused but later he thought of an alternative and spoke. "Does time pass slower in here than outside?"

"Smart, very smart." Aldebaran smiled and continued to speak. - I like smart people like you Syrth, you are not only a greedy who seeks power at any price and also seems to be quite intelligent, it seems that you will not let your heart be corrupted by greed and lose your humanity turning into a monster that only has the goal of getting stronger than its sole motivation and spreading chaos wherever it goes. - Aldebaran was extremely pleased with this this young man had a bright future ahead. "Now go, if you want to find me I'll be in the rock-shaped forest near Drowning Hill."

Syrth marked his words in his mind as he slowly closed his eyes as the fog made him lose consciousness, ten minutes passed and he regained his sense and saw that he was in the same position he was before he was captured by the fog, he continued. your journey to the city by the river.

The wilderness was a very dangerous place. In addition to the roads between major cities or major and famous cities, a deadly monster could appear anytime and anywhere. In theory, a monster could suddenly appear even on a road that was regularly cleared. To Syrth he was confident that he could escape alive if some monster attacked him by surprise with his new equipment he decided to follow along the river.

The guards patrolled every day around the cities so their surroundings were relatively safe and with few monster attacks, he preferred to follow the river rather than enter the city by road, as he needed money.

Outside Pinha Town was a huge river known as Pinha River. The Rio das Pinhas extended downstream for up to one hundred kilometers, has many tributaries in known.

The Rio das Pinhas was almost two thousand kilometers long and very gentle, forming large sandy areas. All the organic feeling of the Balin Plateau went downstream, forming much sludge and turning the whole territory into a rich and fertile land.

Occasionally, small mollusks known as blue sludge mollusks came out of the Rio das Pinhas. The blue mollusk was a high-end delicacy for the nobility and wizards. The wizards and the nobility the flesh of these mollusks increases mental power to some extent. Therefore in the market of Pinha Town this type of clam would be extremely expensive. If Syrth was not mistaken, a single blue mollusk could be worth more than twenty silver coins. So he came toward this river to catch mollusks.

Of course, the high value of blue sludge mollusks made the Rio das Pinhas have a large number of people trying to catch them. However they do not have the ability and knowledge to capture them. They had no choice but to rely on their fate and sought to blindly capture them. Even if they spent a whole day searching they would not necessarily be able to return with any. These mollusks were really small, during the day they were easily ignored, to mention at night that they were almost impossible.

Consequently, there was no sign of human activity near the Rio das Pinhas at night. This was according to Syrth's intentions. He would use the analyze to catch the blue sludge mollusks. Since no one would bother him, this was the best method.

Lolo, soon, he arrived at the scene.

In front of him was a muddy bed of a dark brown color with some sample tree roots in some directions. Syrth immediately used the analyzer and quickly found a bunch of blue sludge mollusks, he quickly went in the direction in which his friends pointed a slight shade of blue and took one with his hands and used the analysis on it.

[Blue slime clam, used by wizards and the nobility as a high-end delicacy, can also be used as a raw material for making temporary magic enhancement potions along with grass of the seven secrets.]

[You have gained five hundred experience points for discovering a new potion.]

Syrth looked at the statistics window, it seemed the blue mollusk had another usefulness that no one else should know, he also found that he would gain experience by discovering something no one else had before.

Syrth quickly picked up all the mollusks that were in the area and quickly threw them into his ring, although he could not put any living things inside he found that this was not for insect-sized organisms.

As he was preparing to leave, he hears a sound of footsteps coming from behind him, he immediately turns his head.

Someone is following me? Syrth's heart was almost out of his mouth.

A shadow came out of the forest, it was a man who must have looked about eighteen at the most, he prepared to run but saw that he was all bloody he held his hand on his chest that looked stabbed, when the young man saw him he was gone. Running to him and falling in front of him, he quickly raised his arms to hold the young fall in his arms and before Syrth could say anything the young man handed him a note and quickly spoke his last words. "Protect… Anna… please…" The young man said his last words before slowly closing his eyes and going to eternal rest, he didn't know who this red-haired, blue-eyed man was and didn't even know why he was. entrusted his younger sister for his protection but he was sure one thing this man exuded the aura of a fair and right being so he decided to risk to see if he would succeed, in his last moments he heard the man say he would accept the mission and would protect the woman named Anna, when he heard these words he left this life without any resentment.

Syrth, who had just agreed to his request, immediately opened his statistics window and saw the new mission in it.

[Have you accepted the mission of protecting Anna, and avenging your dead brother, are your death and his in any way connected?]

[Experience completing mission fifteen thousand experience points.]

Syrth watched the new information that appeared on his screen, he was wondering if he could have any connection between the death of the former owner of this body and the young man in front of him.

Suddenly a single shadow appeared quietly as if enjoying it. The person was neither tall nor short, and in his hands was a dagger with blood dripping from him, it was probably he who stabbed the young man in front of him.

It was a killer

[Analyze was used…]

[Analyze successful…]

The killer's main information immediately appeared before Syrth's eyes; he let out a mentally sigh of relief as his greatest attribute was in strength that he was at six.

"Brat, leaving town alone is not a good habit." The Killer began to laugh and continued. "Although you have the knife there with you, do you think you can really protect yourself?" For a useless man like you it would be an honor to die at the hands of the Floors Union.

At that moment some left over rushed through the forest before reaching the lake.

Damn, an escape plan? Syrth gritted his teeth. I have no idea who they are. Why are they trying to kill me?

This was clearly not the best time to have these doubts. Suddenly he accelerated quickly and leaped across the lake, jumping between the rocks, focusing on the woods on the other side of the river.
