SSS-Class Ranker Return

Skorn Desert (1)

“Wow, it’s hot.”

Using information from his previous life, he equipped himself with an item called a rune of cold, but it was really hot in the Skorn Desert, so that the heat did not go away with that alone.

If it was a rune of cold that can be obtained from the Central Continent, perfect heat protection would have been possible, but it is because it is too early for the Central Continent item to be released yet.

So I can only be satisfied with this.

“If it was a pyramid, it was a secret dungeon.”

The pyramids that required confirmation in the Human Race quest were, ironically, a secret dungeon.

An area where human race users complained that it was a bug because it could not be found and entered only if special conditions were met, so it did not appear even after searching the Skorn Desert like this.

Because of this, he could have been at a loss for a while, but Rokhan luckily knew how to enter it.

“I have a long way to go.”

Although the distance is far, there were quests that had to be done in order to discover the pyramids.

[You have entered the dry desert town of Skipo.]

“Traveler, please, get some water… … .”

[Side Eun Ji-sim] [Quest]

In the desert town of Skipo, the water is dry and the residents are suffering. But you have nowhere to go for water.

Your choice… …

-Completion condition: Provide water for one canister

- Completion rewards:

A quest that comes to mind as soon as you arrive at Skipo, which can be said to be an intermediate base.

But Lokan knew. that you must reject this quest.

If water is provided to one person, the rest of the villagers will rush in like zombies and beg for water.

Therefore, rather than handing water to one person and completing one quest, it was best to reject it from the beginning and take it away.

“Here it is. Even your neck is a little stiff.”

However, it was the exact opposite of knowing what Rokhan was doing. He gave him water without hesitation.

“No, it’s water!”

"I! Me too please!”

“The child at home has not been able to take a sip of water in his mouth for three days. Please have mercy on me too... … !”

"neck… … don't... … sound… … not… … Wow… … .”

Along with him, the villagers gathered their strength in a cracking voice and approached Rokhan.

“Do not rush. You all have enough water for a pastoral day.”If you can't please everyone, you'll get a reputation penalty, but what if you can't please everyone?

Since he knew everything from the beginning, he had the financial resources to bring a canister and oak barrel full of inventory, so it was something he could try.

“Great!”

“Sa, I lived.”

"thank you! thank you!"

“Ah, I can finally bring water to the kids!”

[Reputation of the Withered Desert Village Skipo has been changed to Absolute Trust.]

No matter how Rokkan was, they didn't have enough water to drink to the satisfaction of everyone in the village, but one bottle, one bottle at a time, was enough.

There is no end to greed and selfishness, but in order for a person this size to drink enough, it is necessary to bring all the water from the oasis, so fortunately, he took care of himself.

Of course, there was also an atmosphere where I felt like I was going to die if I was greedy here alone.

“How did this happen?”

As they seemed to have calmed down a bit, Rokhan just opened his mouth.

In the meantime, experience and reward items were steadily piling up in the inventory, and there were quite a few items that could not be seen as the price of just one bucket of water. This is because the grades and types of items given by villagers are random.

But getting it all sorted out now is a far cry.

Fortunately, thanks to the overwhelming power figure, the weight gauge was sufficient, so I turned it off and proceeded with the quest.

"that is… … In fact, this hasn't happened in a while. Although there was not enough water, there was a well and it was okay… … . The well has dried up since seven days ago. The teleport magic circle connected to the nearby area is also broken for some reason... … .”

The content was simple. For unknown reasons, all the wells in the village dried up, and even if they tried to airlift the water even if they contacted nearby areas or paid a high cost of a teleport magic circle, it was impossible because the magic circle stopped working.

So, the villagers became half-mummy and were struggling, and the people who left the village to find water were also ignorant.

‘I can’t come back.’

All of this was directed by a quest, so those who left could not return immediately.

Some of them will return after all these events are over, and in the end, all these four months had to be resolved by the users somehow.

‘Because even rune drums don’t work around here. Even if you try to do the water shuttle, you're a badass. That’s why users gave up the reputation of this place.’

Whether it's moving to another area and continuing to get water, or solving the cause and fixing everything.

However, just like the teleport magic circle became strange, some magical power was interfering in the entire area, and the rune book was also eaten up.

So, many people were prepared to be insulted and regarded the decline in reputation as inevitable and only a place to go or a safe zone, but in fact, the solution was very simple.

“I will fix it.”

“Yes, adventurer. Of course, we would be grateful if you would, but we don’t even know the cause… … .”

When Rokhan readily declared that he would solve this problem first, the villagers were all surprised, but soon they turned to eager faces. In any case, now they must be in the mood to grab a straw.

[The cause of the dryness] [Quest]

Find out the cause of the phenomenon that happened in the dry desert town of Skipo and solve it. Even if you can't solve it, the villagers who fell in love with your dedication will not blame you.

-Completion condition: Resolve the cause of the dryness

-Completion Reward: A large amount of experience, 100 gold, title ‘Savior of Skipo’

Even if you have a conscience, there seems to be no penalty even if you fail the quest, but from the beginning there was no way this could fail.

“Before that, could I use the shop here?”

"of course!"

“Come here. I'll see you. If Lokan-sama is buying it, I will give it to you very cheaply!”

As Lokan, whose reputation has already risen to absolute trust, the restrictions on using the shop, which had been half-locked, were easily lifted.

Plus, the price discount is a bonus!

If it were not for the restriction that the items that received a special discount were not tradable, they could have swept them up again and took a huge share, but for now, just the opening of the store was a relief.

[You have purchased the Armor of the Searing Sun.]

[You have purchased Desert Crosser's Boots.]

[You bought a sun protection hat… … .]

This was Rokhan's goal. Powerful fire resistance equipment.

Although it does not have a set effect, all of the equipment sold here has strong resistance to the fire attribute.

It can be seen as a characteristic of the desert terrain, but there will be no small connection with this quest.

“Let’s go to the well.”

“Well, why are you in a dried up place? … .”

“Because the basics of exploration is to search the source area first.”

In fact, it was just a matter of knowing the answer as if using a cheat key, but the words were grand.

The villager, who thought Rokhan's words made sense, took the lead again and took him to the nearest well, and Rokhan immediately installed something.

"This… … ”

“I will go down.”

“Come here”

The only thing he took out and tied was a rope.

I couldn't tell the villagers who were weak after not drinking properly for several days, so I tied them tightly to a nearby tree and dropped the rope down the well.

Tuuk.

Then, as if to prove that it was really dry, there was a sound of hitting the dry ground rather than a rattling sound.

“Wait here. It can be dangerous, so I will go alone.”

Then he went straight down.

Holding his rope and walking down the wall as if walking, the floor quickly reached.

Interestingly, it wasn't a closed space. A road was made and Rokan was called.“Looks right here.”

Lokan glanced at the magic map, grinned and nodded his head. He would have had to search other wells in town if it wasn't for him, but luckily he got it right the first time.

This is where the culprit that dried up Skipo hides.

[You have entered the dungeon of exploding flames.]

This notification was telling me that it had arrived correctly.

It is unknown why he settled down here, but all this is because of the 'runaway flame'.

Although it was an event dungeon, the first entry bonus was not attached, but since repeated hunting was impossible anyway, Lokan had no regrets.

“To be precise, a corrupted spirit.”

Whoops!

As if saying, ‘But now, it’s my source of experience,’ Lokan simply swung his Battle Ax to silence the raging fireballs.

[The Spirit of Explosive Flame][Lv 241]

It is a whopping 241 level, and the fire attribute attack power is also high, so it is like a nightmare for users who are still weak in the concept of attribute resistance, but Lokan was already prepared for it.

Fire resistance equipment that wraps around the body is basic, and Ice Enchantment is applied to Battle Ax, which puts double the normal elemental damage.

How long can a normal monster hold up, since even if you look around the force, the tremendous damage is bursting with elemental damage?

There was a difference in level, but at this point, I felt weaker than the monsters in the Linai territory.

“Because we set the counter for this taste.”

It was a pity to eat and go out, but the experience to come in was solssol. So I can't help but laugh out loud.

As they entered, more spirits appeared, but they did not pose any threat to Rokhan. It's just a bunch of great experience points.

As soon as he entered, the culprit finally appeared.

“Why, why are you tormenting me!”

Kwawagwagwang!

[Corrupted Fire Spirit][Lv 263]

As soon as you enter the boss room, it is a level 260 monster, not a 250, that blows a flame storm. It was a fire spirit of a different class from the spirits of the spirit magician, which can be obtained as a hidden class.

To be honest, even a mid-level being has the strength to be considered an elite.

“Ugh, where is this temperament?”

It was also a spirit type that had no weaknesses other than attributes, but Lokan was confident.

It's a little disappointing that he's not reinforced, but the setting is already perfect and all attacks are stronger than his skills.

“It’s not that I don’t have any weaknesses, it’s that my whole body is full of weaknesses.”

Lokan, who was growling crookedly, rushed towards him as if he had nothing to see. If you don't pay it back even if you pay the advance, you're not a Lokan!

“Glow!”

It created a storm that would extinguish all fire spirits and candles.
