Chapter 524

Players no longer discussed the Seven Guilds .

One force was stronger than the Seven Guilds combined . From that time on, the Seven Guilds lost their majesty .  Far from getting the title of the strongest, the Seven Guilds gradually declined . They were more inundated with requests to leave than to join .

“We will remove ourselves from the alliance . ”

The French representative, Bondre .

Until he met Grid in the National Competition, he was the 1st ranked ice mystic with the nickname of ‘undefeated . ’ He was also the master of the strongest magician group, Ice Flower . Now he expressed his intention to withdraw from the alliance .

The leaders of the guilds in the Seven Guilds didn’t stop him .  However, Bondre’s declaration of withdrawal became an ignition point . The other guild masters also declared their intentions to leave the alliance . It wasn’t necessary to obsess over the alliance that had become obsolete .

Zibal, the leader of the alliance, was the same .

“I won’t stop them . ”

Zibal had changed since the 2nd National Competition .  In raids and hunting, he didn’t doubt that he was the best . However, he changed his perception after being beaten by Grid .  He wasn’t the best . He wasn’t qualified to be self-confident and to force others .

Zibal was no longer obsessed with the Seven Guilds .  He chose to grow in order to regain his past glory .  Now he was about to step foot in the Behen Archipelago . After confirming that the guilds had withdrawn from the alliance, he laughed and entered the Behen Archipelago .

“What will happen to us now?”

The Ice Flower Guild was somewhat uneasy .  Ice Flower .  They were an elite group of magicians and there were only 30 of them .  It was obvious that many uncomfortable things would happen if they left the alliance . They had complicated relationships with some people due to disputes, and the guild had no production players, so item trading was disadvantageous for them .

Bondre reassured the worried guild members .

"We will go to the god of war . This will make our lives much better than before and we will be guaranteed a brilliant future . ”

“God of war?”

"Who is it?”

Bondre explained to the bewildered guild members . "Ares . An unofficial ranker with a unique ability . He’s equivalent to Grid . ”

“Wow . . . ”

How strong was he that their master Bondre would compare him to Grid? The Ice Flower Guild members were incredulous .

“Then why is he unknown?”

“Yes . This is the first time I’ve heard of him . ”

“Satisfy is wide . Do you know all the people in every field in the world in reality? It’s unknown how many of them there actually are . In that sense, Satisfy is like reality . ”

In fact, Bondre also had no idea who Ares was not long ago . However, Scott contacted him three days ago and told him about Ares . Bondre had been shocked the moment he saw the information .

"The world is wide and there’s a lot of chaos . ”

Bondre heard a strange voice as he thought about joining Ares’ guild .

"Yes, the world is wide . But you’re all under my feet . ”

“Who?”

The Ice Flower Guild instantly became alert .  They were embarrassed by the dozens of skeletons blocking the way back to their territory . The voice of the unfamiliar man was heard again as they perceived the danger and started to cast spells .

"Bondre, become a sacrifice of the king . ”

Chill .

Bondre and the Ice Flower Guild members got chills at the same time . The madness in the voice of the unidentified man made them feel an instinctive fear .

‘Entering a fear state just from speaking?’

Boss monster?

‘A boss appeared on the road where thousands of people travelled every day?

It was ridiculous .

“Reveal yourself!”

Bondre finished casting the level 8 Ice Cutter and fired the magic . It was a strike aimed directly at the location of the voice .

Jeeeong!

The sharp ice blade flying through the air stopped . Then it shattered . It was due to the curtain of darkness that was instantly created .

‘My magic was so easily blocked?’

Swaaah .

In the wreckage of the sparkling ice crystals .

“Agnus?”

Chwaaaak!

Bondre was shocked as he saw the man who appeared from the dark curtain .

Agnus .  After the top ranked players like Kraugel, Zibal, and Yura disappeared from the rankings, he had risen to 3rd place . In addition, he was the rumored psychopath that even Kraugel avoided .

“Kikikik!”

His eyes shone gold as he looked at Bondre like a frightened rat .

"The hunting grounds are far from the city . I should prepare a return scroll next time I go . ”

Originally, Grid planned to return to Pangea when it was time for the smithy competition .  But his plans changed the moment he found Idan’s Frying Pan and he returned to Pangea .  It was imperative to raise affinity with Idan . The reason was the information of the frying pan .

[Idan’s Frying Pan]

Rating: Unique

Durability: 35/260 Attack Power: 89

* When used, Intermediate Cooking Lv . 2 will be created .

The moment it is used, the person will become a seasoned chef!

It is the frying pan that has been used for centuries by the Idan family, who has a philosophy of cooking .

It is optimized to draw out a unique taste from the ingredients .

In addition, special events sometimes occur because the frying pan contains the desires of the elders of cooking .

When an Idan family member cooks with this frying pan, there is a high probably that food with a buffing ability will be created and a low probability that food that increases stats will be created .

However, the premise is that you eat all the food without leaving anything behind .

Conditions of use: Beginner cooking master . A special effect will occur only when an Idan family member uses it .

Weight: 40 

'I don’t know about the taste, but this is why Kraugel ate it four times . ’

Idan .  He was a golden goose who would give birth to elixirs .  The chef might make bad food, but his value was astronomical .  A one in a million talented person .

Grid decided . He would leave here with Idan as his personal chef!

“Idan!”

Pangea’s North Street . Grid ran to Idan’s restaurant and immediately asked the waitress working there .

“Where is Idan?”

“The boss went out to obtain ingredients . ”

“Can’t he get the ingredients delivered?”

"Yes, there’s no contractor who will deliver a rotten liver from a jiangshi . ”

“Jiangshi rotten liver?”

A chill went down Grid’s spine .  Idan’s Frying Pan was optimized to draw out the taste of ingredients . What if he cooked a jiangshi rotten liver?

‘ . . . Really a mess . ’

It was crazy . His eyes darkened .

‘This is crazy . . . Why is he cooking rotten liver?’

Even . . .

‘It’s the body of a jiangshi?’

If he took Idan as a full time chef, would he have to eat such ridiculous dishes every time?

‘ . . . No, that’s impossible . ’

Idan couldn’t make strange dishes every time . He had to make some ordinary dishes .

‘I have to eat . If not, I’ll ask him to make it for me . ’

Grid couldn’t believe it and asked the employee again .

“Where is the jiangshi?”

“If you go out the south gate and head north, a cemetery will appear . There’s an infestation there . ”

"Okay, Idan is there?”

The moment Gird verified the information and was about to leave the restaurant .

“Umm? You are?"

Idan returned to the restaurant .  There was a basket filled with something black in his hands . Grid ignored the rotten smell and handed the frying pan to Idan .

“Here’s what I promised you . ”

"Hrmm . "

It was the hard to regain family heirloom .  Did he not expect it to be found in just two days? Idan looked at the frying pan with a questionable expression before cheering .

“Oh . . . ! Ohh! Ohhhh! Unbelievable! You found my family’s heirloom so quickly!”

Idan was genuinely pleased . The moment he held the frying pan, a notification window appeared in front of Grid .

[The quest Find the Traces of the Great Hero! has been completed . ]

[30% character experience has been paid as compensation . ]

[Affinity with Idan has increased by 10 . ]

“Eh?”

Affinity +10? Affinity only increased by 10 despite returning a family heirloom? Grid thought it was unexpected .

‘Shouldn’t it increase by at least 50?’

Idan guided the confused Grid to a table .

"Have you not eaten yet? Now, sit down . I will treat the person who brought back my family’s heirloom to a wonderful dinner . ”

“Ah, yes . ”

Hopefully, this was a chance to eat food that increased his stats . Grid hesitantly sat down and belatedly said something .

"Please note that I have a liver allergy . ”

In other words, don‘t bring out a dish made with jiangshi liver! Idan’s expression became as cold as ice .

“Y . . . es? Is that so?”

Idan clicked his tongue and headed to the kitchen . His unfriendly demeanor made Grid think the worst .

'Don’t tell me that my affinity just fell?’

It was likely that Idan was a NPC who only liked people who ate his dishes .

‘It is almost certain . ’

It was the reason why returning Idan’s Frying Pan only raised affinity by 10 . On the first day they met, Grid left behind a lot of the orc cream pie and his affinity must’ve fallen .

‘This truly sucks . ’

In order to recruit Idan as a full time chef, a high affinity was required .  How could he increase his affinity without having to eat the food that Idan made? The moment Grid was feeling frustrated .

“This is my signature dish that I cooked just for you, japchae . ”

" . . . ”

Idan handed a dish of japchae to Grid .  Japchae . It was a favorite dish for South Koreans, and clearly Grid as well .

‘Phew, thank goodness . It isn’t hard to make japchae delicious . ’

Vegetables, meat, and japchae noodles .  Grid grasped a fair amount with his chopsticks and shoved it into his mouth without hesitation .  Then he spat it out as soon as he ate it .  The vegetables tasted of soil and were really crunchy . The slightly cooked pork was cold and hard . The noodles were chewy . There wasn’t even any strange ingredients in it . The original tastes of the ingredients were very strong and didn’t mix together .

"No, this . . . ”

He was supposed to eat this? Grid was about to curse reflexively when he stopped . It was because Idan’s eyes were glaring at the japchae that he had spat out .

"Did you spit it out because it didn’t fit your tastes?”

“Nope . It’s delicious . I was so surprised by the delicious taste that I spat it out a little bit . ”

Endure . Grid blocked his nose . Then he shoved all of the japchae in his mouth at once .

Chew chew .

Grid chewed the japchae with a pale face while Idan asked .

"Why are you blocking your nose while eating?”

“It’s my eating habit . ”

"Huh, really? What an unusual eating habit . ”

‘Your dishes are more unusual . . . ’

Grid sweated as he barely endured it .

[The effect of eating Idan’s dish has permanently increased intelligence by 1 . ]

“Ah!”

It was the moment when Grid’s sorrow was larger than his joy .
