Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

At night, I log into the game and discuss the event with everyone.

As I expected, most of the summoners seem to be solo or in duos.

The regular players will be formed by volunteers from Freetia, including Mel´s party, Mangetsu-san´s party, Yoichi-san´s party, Hokage´s party and Tristan-san.

"What are you going to do, Takuto-kun?"

"I'm thinking of going solo"

"It's Takuto-kun who seems to think he can conquer it, isn't it?"

Everyone nodded. I'm not sure I could ever conquer it either...Astaroth has beaten me to it.

"Takuto, if you have a slot, can you let me in?"

Arleigh asked for advice.

"I don't mind, but what's the matter?"

"No, I know it's pathetic, but I'm kind of weak in this guild, aren't I? If there was a level difference any more, my shoulders would be narrow...I'll give you something of your choice from the event rewards if you can team up with me"

Oh! That's very clever for Kaito. I have a feeling that's a pretty good deal. But that's how bad the situation is.

"I don't mind, do you?"

"Yes! That's a deal!"

When Kaito takes a guts pose, Chiffon´s group seem to have the same troubles. It was decided to form a party under the same conditions as Kaito. It's a classmate party.

I ask Ruin-san.

"What is Ruin-san´s group going to do?"

"We won't be of any help this time. To be frank, production events are not appreciated by production workers. All we can do is sell items and equipment that will be useful for the event"

"Both HP and MP potions are selling well"

"It's time for me to make some money too. I've already received orders for waterproof shoes"

Hou. I'm curious to know if there is such a thing....I'll ask about the equipment later, but I have a concern.

"This event is one where equipment is given out that will give you an advantage in the big event before the big event, right?"

"I think that's the perception, but what's wrong with that?"

"No, I have a feeling that some of the rewards might give production workers an advantage for large-scale events..."

"It's...it's possible, considering what we've seen so far, but... it said there were probably hidden elements, so I'm staring at a query for production workers and newbies"

Ah. I thought there was going to be a hidden boss or something.

“That's why we're going our separate ways this time. Of course, we'll all support you"

『Please』

"Well, I'll get right to it, but while we're at it, we'd better get to the Nar Wetlands"

"The Nar Wetlands?"

Why? Then Mew-san told me.

"You can get waterproof materials from the anacondas and caimans in the Nar Wetlands. I recommend the waterproof shoes I mentioned earlier. They will be very useful in the Nar Wetlands. I am sure they will be useful in this event as well"

What does that mean?

"I heard that in the Nar Wetlands the shoes got water in them and they got heavy. Others have reported getting stuck in the mud, so you'd better get your gear ready"

Other than the field changes, this is the other factor...I certainly think we should take action on this. The only thing is that this occurred during wet weather and it is unknown if it will occur during rain. But there's a good chance there could be a similar possibility.

"What are you going to do? You'd better get a move on, or it'll be sold out"

Hmmm...then we have Wako and I think I'll collect the materials. We can't get enough for everyone, but it's not that important equipment for us. After all, only subspecies can wear shoes and most subspecies can fly. When I told her that, she agreed.

From Mew-san's point of view, it would be more profitable to sell them to other people. Arleigh and the others told me that they had already acquired the waterproof shoes and had conquered the boss. I can ask for more details at school.

According to the information from Mew-san, anaconda skin is the best material for waterproof shoes. The material seems to be large and cost-effective. It seems that caiman skin can also be used to make waterproof shoes, but it is more of an armor material.

Then, Ruin-san gave me a follow-up report on the ox ball.

"It seems that they will take care of the ox ball. But it will take time and cost a lot of money, because it's just an object. They say it won't be ready in time for the event"

"It's the first time I've used this material and it's going to happen. Tell them I am fine with the money and time"

"Okay"

Ah and there is new material. I show everyone the desert scorpion shell first.

"That's a material we would all want"

"Yeah...it's totally armor material. This. Should I target the Sandwall Desert for this?"

Mangetsu-san wants it and Mel talks about it. I voice my doubts.

"Couldn't we have a new area like the Grand Canyon?"

"You mean Hawk Valley...it's tough as it stands. We were attacked by hordes of wyverns and gargoyles. We get abducted into the air and dropped"

"We'd rescue our friends, get knocked to the ground and get caught all over again. It's a dinosaur movie experience"

It's called Hawk Valley...Yoichi-san and Rekka took on the challenge. From the story, I feel like they're being attacked by Pteranodons. That's hard. Now it's the Desert Scorpion's poisonous stinger.

"This one doesn't look like a bow from its size"

Yoichi-san says so and Tristan-san speaks.

"I think this is material for a longbow or crossbow. It's in my huntsman's skill set"

Oh...it looks like a huntsman. A longbow is larger than a normal bow. Because of its size, it has a much higher range and firepower than a normal bow. However, the ability to pull a longbow is required to handle it and its rapid-firing performance is inferior. Well, it may not matter much because of the rapid-fire skill and technique.

The crossbow may be better known in Japan as a crossbow or bow gun. It is a weapon that fires an arrow by means of a string with the force of a leaf spring. It is famous as the weapon used by William Tell, the legendary Swiss hero.

"...I'm really torn between the higher grade bow material or the fact that you can't use it if you're a musketeer"

"I can choose guns too, so maybe the Musketeers evolve to the same destination"

"...That's right. Then I guess we'll go for the Musketeer destination as planned"

Yoichi-san and his friends are the originators, though and they're bow users! And Keigo was still interested. So he thought he could use it for spear material too. Well, we all ended up recognizing that it was a bad weapon material in its current state. It's a lethal poison, right?

The only problem is the condition to enter the Sandwall Desert. There must be some matatabi somewhere, but we can't go ask the elves, so we'll just have to look for it. The most likely place would be the Yellow Ossa Forest. The story is that everyone is looking for it based on that theory. It's hard to trust everyone.

In the meantime, I'll ask Setia and Hephaestus for a spear. The highest priority is Lily's weapons, so it will be a while before they are ready.

This concludes the meeting. So, the members of this quest are 38, including myself. A total of 41 people, including Arleigh, Chiffon and the vice-chairman, will take on the challenge.
