I Save The World In The Text Game

"Did Valkyrie and Kim meet a wet nurse?"

"No, it shouldn't be possible, but no matter what happens, I must rush back immediately!"

[The 'Mask Making Expert' looks enigmatic and tells you that his teacher lives in seclusion in the 'Magic Zircon Mine' not far from here. 】

[The magic zirconia in the mine has been exhausted, but there is still a hidden mine connected to the bottom of the mine, which contains a small amount of magic zirconia with extremely high purity. 】

[This ore is a necessity for making masks. Its teacher lives in seclusion deep in the mine and uses the ore to continue to improve his mask-making skills...]

[Do you want to return to the ‘Magic Zircon Mine’ immediately, take the ‘Mask Making Expert’ with you, or kill it directly? 】

"The Mask Master lives in seclusion in the mine?"

Lin Xun raised his eyebrows, suspecting that Valkyrie's death was probably related to the Mask Master.

Press the second option now and go with the mask making expert.

He left the incubation pool as quickly as possible and took the military cricket to the 'Magic Zircon Mine'.

The military cricket is much faster than the delivery cricket, but it still takes nearly ten minutes to reach the 'Magic Zircon Mine' at the fastest speed.

【……】

[Not long after, the ‘Military Mole Cricket’ arrived at its destination. 】

[You quickly approach the mine with the ‘Mask Making Expert’ in hand...]

[You carry it to the edge of the mine. The black cocoon is still intact at the bottom of the mine. 】

[There is a large hole in the side wall at the bottom of the mine, which is connected to a large, dark mine...]

[But Kim, who was guarding the black cocoon, was missing...]

The good news is that Frenda is okay, the bad news is that Kim is missing.

Considering the true identity of the Mask Master, Kim shouldn't be in much danger... But it's hard to say. If both of them recognized each other's identity, how did the Valkyrie die?

[You hold the 'Mask Making Expert' behind your back and flutter your bone wings, jump up, and fall to the bottom of the mine...]

[The 'Mask Making Expert' was stunned when he saw the huge black cocoon. He obviously realized something. He pretended not to see it, pointed at the mine and told you that the teacher lives in seclusion in the deepest part of the mine. He can guide you. road. 】

Just in case, Lin Xun immediately summoned the nine-tailed fox and the slippery ghost to protect Black Cocoon.

He went deep into the mine with a mask-making expert.

There are many forks and twists and turns inside the mine. It would probably take a while to explore by yourself.

With someone guiding him, he quickly reached the deepest part of the mine.

【……】

[Light comes from the end of the dark tunnel, and you carry the 'Mask Making Expert' to a large stone room at the end of the mine. 】

[In the stone chamber, Kim was kneeling on one knee and gasping for breath. There were many tragic wounds on his body. In some places, the carapace was broken, revealing the original black color. 】

[And behind it is a dying huge monster. The centipede-like monster has a pale carapace and exudes a bright light. The color of the light is exactly the same as magic zircon...]

[You noticed that the monster’s carapace also has many wounds, revealing the dark color of the alienated person. 】

[You discovered the ‘Alienated Thousand-legged Devourer’! 】

[At the other end of the stone room is a short and fat feathered person. In addition to one pair of legs, it has six short and thick arms. 】

[This is not the most peculiar thing about it. The armor that extends from the facial mask to the whole body is extremely exaggerated and huge. The armor is not airtight like ordinary carapace, but is hollow like a skeleton. 】

[A magic zirconia the size of a head is embedded in the chest of the exoskeleton armor, shining with dazzling light. 】

[The squat feathered man controls the armor like a large exoskeleton to confront 'Kim' and 'Thousand-legged One', and it seems he still has the upper hand. 】

[You discovered the ‘Echoed Mask Master’! 】

[The 'Mask Maker' you were holding by the neck suddenly shouted loudly, Teacher, save it quickly, it was hijacked by the devil, and it took a lot of effort to lure the devil here. 】

[As soon as he finished speaking, the 'Mask Master' rushed towards you fiercely, a dazzling light erupted from the chest of the exoskeleton armor, and the sickle blade extending from the end of the limb grew larger and larger in front of you...]

Lin Xun instantly realized that the mask master was not a follower of the fireflies at all, and that the black carapace pretending to be an feathered one should come from the 'Thousand-legged Devourer'.

The person in front of you is an enemy, not a friend!

['Kim' sees this and quickly warns you that the enemy is very strong, especially its armor...]

[You didn’t have time to think too much, so you dropped the person in your hand and faced the attack bravely! 】

[The sharp claws and sickle blades clashed, causing a harsh and loud noise...]

['Mask Master' retreated continuously, his armor's feet plowing two deep ravines on the ground. 】

[The sickle blade of its hand has broken into several holes, and there are many cracks, and it seems that it is about to break. 】

[You can feel that the enemy's strength and speed are weaker than yours, and you are very sure to kill it. 】

[The 'Mask Forging Expert' rolled over and came to the teacher's side in a flash. 】

[It said to the person next to it, Teacher, don’t save magic zirconia. As long as you continue to raise the ‘Thousand-legged Demon’, you will continue to produce high-purity magic zirconia. 】

[Killing the demons lurking in the Kingdom of God is a great achievement. From now on, even if you want to raise the ‘thousand-legged demon’ openly, teacher, it won’t be a problem. 】

[It smiles at you and starts to persuade you. It’s better not to struggle pointlessly and give up resistance immediately. It promises to spare your life. 】

[After saying that, it took the mask handed over by the 'Mask Master', and immediately, a slightly smaller exoskeleton armor appeared, covering its whole body. 】

[The 'Mask Forging Expert' didn't notice that something was wrong with its teacher's expression. Wearing an exoskeleton armor, it seemed to have a surge in strength and decisively attacked the seriously injured 'Kim'. 】

[Its attacks are all aimed at 'Kim', and try to avoid the 'Thousand-legged Devourer' behind 'Kim'. 】

['Mask Master' has a complicated look on his face, quickly takes out a piece of magic zircon, clasps it on his chest, and pounces on you again! 】

[Its speed is faster than before, and its attack is more rapid! 】

[You flutter the bone wings on your back, step on the ground, and wave your claws forward...]

[Legendary + level skill——‘Destruction Claw’ is activated! 】

[The sharp claws broke the enemy's sickle blade and even tore off several exoskeletons on the enemy's chest, causing the 'Mask Master' to fly back faster than when he came. 】

['Mask Forging Expert' refrained from shouting, old guy, if you keep your strength, you will die here today, use that magic zircon quickly...]

[The 'Mask Master' finally couldn't help but speak. He got up, spread his hands, and whispered, the 'Secret Crystal Magic Zirconia' has been used. 】

[The 'Mask Forging Expert' suddenly stopped and ran back to the teacher. He asked with disbelief on his face, "Use it?" 】

[Its teacher nodded and affirmed that it was used up, and the only one was used to research new armors... But unfortunately, the research on new armors failed. 】

[The 'Mask Forging Expert' was stunned. It stayed in place for a long time, then reacted and smiled at you twice. It consciously put away its exoskeleton armor, raised its hands above its head and knelt on the ground. 】

['Mask Master' realized after two attacks that it is far from your opponent. He followed the example of his apprentice and took back his armor to express surrender. 】

['Kim' on the side saw you defeat the enemy, and finally couldn't help but fell to the ground holding his wound. 】

[You strode forward, stepped on the head of the 'Mask Master' with one foot, and held the head of the 'Mask Forging Expert' with sharp claws in one hand. Regardless of the pain, they both grinned and interrogated the cause of the matter...]

The two of you quickly explained everything one by one.

All the minerals in the Magic Zircon Mine have been exhausted, leaving only some useless ore of low purity, so the mine was closed and abandoned.

By chance, the Mask Master discovered a 'thousand-legged demon' sleeping underground, also known as the 'Thousand-legged Devourer'.

This kind of alien is not very strong, but it has an extremely special ability. It can devour enemies to enhance its own strength.

The 'Thousand-legged Devourer' can only digest living things. It cannot digest things like 'Magic Zircon', but after being excreted from the body, the finely divided ores can be fused and purified.

However, demons are not allowed to exist in the Kingdom of God. If the Emerged One does not eliminate or report the remaining demons when he sees them, he will be sentenced to death.

The Master of Masks realized that this was a great opportunity, albeit one with considerable risk.

In the end, greed overcame reason. In order to conceal the existence of the Thousand-legged Demon, it used a large amount of 'milk matsutake' to disguise it as an feathered one to prevent others from discovering it.

It claimed that it had retired and took the thousand-legged demon to the abandoned mine alone.

Then, using the characteristics of the 'Thousand-legged Devourer', a large amount of waste ore was processed and purified to develop a new type of mask armor.

Due to insufficient manpower during the development of the new mask armor, it summoned several of its proud apprentices to come here from time to time to help.

None of the other apprentices recognized the Thousand-Legged Demon, but only one of the smartest apprentices figured out the secret...

There is no need to go into details about the price of hiding its secrets. The Mask Master created a new type of mask armor with extremely high purity of ‘magic zirconia’.

Even if this kind of armor is not very powerful, it can use high-purity magic zirconia as its power source to explode with extremely powerful strength.

If you still have a certain amount of strength, you can control the armor to exert greater power.

The armor that can withstand the one-hit A and one-shot skills of the Purgatory Angel is the new armor it developed.

Although this kind of armor is strong, it has not yet reached the level of angel warriors, and it still has a certain upper limit of power.

The Mask Master was not willing to give in. Based on this, it purified a purer magic zirconia, which is the 'secret crystal magic zirconia', and tried to develop a more powerful mask armor, a armor with no upper limit of power.

If this kind of armor can be developed, its name will be engraved on the stone tablet in the center of Hallownest, so that millions of future generations will remember it...

The secret crystal magic zircon armor was not successfully developed. Not only that, the Thousand-legged Demon seemed to feel something, became extremely excited, and refused to purify the ore for it.

When the mask master saw this abnormal scene, he realized that there might be an uninvited guest coming from outside the mine...

…

[Now that you understand the cause and effect, how should you treat the ‘Mask Master’ and the ‘Mask Making Expert’? 】

[1. Order the two of them to continue to develop a new type of armor here, and ask them for the blueprints after the development is successful. 】

[2. Kill the master and apprentice to prevent them from secretly sending news to Hallownest while you are not paying attention. 】

【3. Ask for benefits from the master and the disciple, and spare their lives at the cost of this. 】

Lin Xun understood the cause and effect and knew that he could not spare the lives of the two people.

Flanda, who had turned into a black cocoon, had been discovered by the master and the apprentice. If they were spared their lives, the wet nurse might come and kill her tomorrow.

But before killing them, we can squeeze out their remaining value.

[You smile cruelly and crush the 'Mask Master' harder with your feet, claiming that if it hands over something worth its life, you will not hurt it. 】

[The 'Mask Manufacturing Expert' was about to say something when he saw the teacher hand over the newly developed mask armor without hesitation. 】

[You have obtained the ‘Magic Zirconia Exoskeleton Mask’ (legendary equipment)! 】

[It sighed resignedly and handed over the mask and armor it had just recovered. 】

[You have obtained the ‘Magic Zirconia Exoskeleton Mask’ (epic + level equipment)! 】

[‘Magic Zirconia Exoskeleton Mask’ (legendary equipment): A mask armor made from the remains of a powerful feathered person and combined with high-purity magic zirconia. It has incredible abilities. 】

[Wearing this mask armor, you can control the armor to exert its own powerful combat capabilities, and cooperate with the strength of the body itself to cause more powerful destructive power. 】

[The remaining magic zircon energy is 78/100. 】

[This mask armor has been slightly damaged. You can use the 'hive consciousness' to slowly and passively repair it, or you can use 15 points of Magic Zirconia energy to quickly and actively repair it. 】

Lin Xun's eyes lit up.

"What kind of Mecha Gundam is this?"

Similar equipment cannot turn a novice apostle into a full-level boss. Equipment and props in high-difficulty chapters will be greatly reduced if used by low-difficulty apostles.

Moreover, if the quality of the body itself is not high, it will not be able to exert the power of the legendary equipment.

But this piece of equipment can be worn by the 'Zaiou Shozuhime'.

Wearing this piece of equipment, the wet nurse can prevent being killed by the enemy's concentrated fire during the recovery period. She does not need to be beaten in vain, and she can even have the strength to fight back.

He immediately moved the equipment into the equipment slot of 'Saio Shozuhime'.

[Your body ‘Saio Shozuhime’ is equipped with a ‘Magic Zirconia Exoskeleton Mask’ (legendary equipment)! 】

【You are more powerful! 】

Although the mask armor is powerful enough and can be stronger than ordinary equipment of the same quality, it comes at a price.

Magic zirconia, which acts as an energy source, is the price.

[You shake your head slightly, indicating that just two masks and armor are not enough to withstand their lives. 】

[The 'Mask Making Expert' was about to say something in defense when you glared sharply and tore its mouth open with a flick of your claws. 】

[It was rolling on the spot in pain, but it didn't dare to make a single sound. 】

[You lower your head to look at the 'Mask Master', and put more force on your feet, indicating that if he doesn't hand over something that satisfies you, he will be like his apprentice. 】

[The 'Mask Master' tremblingly took out a strange-shaped stone and told you that the corner of the stone chamber is connected to the warehouse where the 'Magic Zirconia' is stored. The masks he forged and the remaining Magic Zirconia are hidden inside. 】

[These things are all its assets. Please accept them and stop harming it and its disciples. 】

[You throw the stone to ‘Kim’, he stands up, goes to the corner of the stone room and gropes around for a while, finds a strange-shaped depression, and then embeds the stone...]

[With a tremor, a door opened on the wall of the stone chamber. 'Kim' poked his head in, took a look, and nodded to you. 】

[You look at the 'Mask Master' and gently shake his head again, indicating that it's not enough...]

['Mask Master' almost collapsed and suddenly shouted loudly, you haven't even entered the warehouse to see it, you can't say enough, you, you are really a devil! 】

Lin Xun curled his lips. The Purgatory Angel seemed a bit excessive, but this body was born with this mode of action.

"Oh, I haven't settled the debt with you for killing the Valkyrie."
