Taming Master - 971 < 968.3. Ian and Eldon (2) >
* * *
Ian didn’t just follow behind Eldon.
After confirming that he had settled in the library and started his research, he first joined the association.
The perfect design in his head (?), it was mandatory to become an association researcher.
“Hmm… Ian. You still need a little more practice in your vocabulary to join an association. ”
“Haha, I know I’m not enough. ”
“But?”
“But here, if you look at this letter of recommendation, you’ll think differently. ”
“Hmm…? ”
“Serbian appreciated my possibilities and wrote me a letter of recommendation. ”
Serbian Letter of Reference and Three Magic Softening Recipes.
The association manager who received them from Ian had to look surprised.
First thing that caught his eye was Serbian letters of recommendation.
“ ……! ”
He knew Serbian well, so he was so enthusiastic.) I was surprised to write you a letter of recommendation.
“Hmm, so much for what a researcher would say. ’
Besides, it didn’t end there.
The three horsepower recipes Ian gave him also far exceeded the manager’s expectations.
Usually, the recipes for beginners joining an association were mostly recipes that the association had.
Since Ian brought three things, none of them were recipes that overlapped.
That’s why the caretaker had no choice but to impress me.
“No, this is……! ”
“What’s the matter? ”
“Is this really how you can soften things? ”
“I actually succeeded, and that would make for a recipe like this. ”
“Oh, oh…! ”
“Do you like it? ”
In fact, the recipes that Ian gave were not that valuable.
Perhaps if you sold these recipes to the user, it would raise the question of whether you could get even 10,000 gold?
But it was just the standards of the users, and the association had a completely different story.
The most important value for the user is how high and how strong the number of horses crafted from the recipe will be. ’Maybe.
The most important value when looking at recipes in associations is the creativity and rarity of recipes.
The Society was far from combat, and there was only a second problem, such as the strength of the horses to be combined.
And Ian was using Serbian advice to pinpoint the nature of the association.
“Are these the recipes you’ve been working on yourself? ”
“Yes. It’s been a while since I completed it… but I think it’s clear that it’s a special recipe. ”
“Excellent. I can see why Serbian… has complimented you so much.” ”
As a result, Ian was able to be registered as a member of the Association for Magical Softening.
– Tyring!
– +5 Amity with Manager ‘Chavre’!
– Chavre is beginning to trust your skills.
– Manager Chavre’s approval has been denied.
– You have successfully joined the Association of Magical Softeners.
– Gain 7,520 Contribution Points from the Sorcery Society.
…… approximate……
– From now on, you can use Contribution Points to access the content of the ‘Sorcery Society’.
Ian succeeded in becoming part of the association, and the next step was collecting information about a person named Eldon.
Ian predicted that Eldon would be stuck in the library for a while, so he decided there was no need to rush.
I was confident that I would get close enough to him right away, but I decided to gather information for a more complete design.
‘We need to figure out Eldon’s propensity. Especially now that he knows what he needs and what he needs. ’
So Ian targets NPCs residing in the association one by one (?).
It wasn’t that hard to get information out of NPCs because they were already well versed in dealing with them.
“Eldon? Oh, you mean the young man who was exploring ancient metaphysics. ”
“Oh, you know what? ”
“Why do you ask about him? ”
“I’m also very interested in ancient masculinity. ”
“Oh, another friend of mine studying the forgotten ancient craft. This will be a great help to the development of the association! ”
“Are you not interested in ancient masculinity? ”
“Haha, I’m interested, but I have a lot of recipes I’m working on right now. ”
“The recipe Eldon was studying also looks interesting…. ”
“Ah, right. Did he say dark baloch? The recipe he was studying…… It was definitely a great recipe. ”
Ian spent about 30 minutes collecting information.
That’s enough time to talk to NPCs in an association, once in a while.
And based on the information he gained during that time, Ian was able to sense exactly how to move.
“Hehe, that’s enough. Now all we have to do is grill this Eldon fella. ’
After quickly clearing his mind, Ian returned to the second floor of the association and took a step toward the library.
Even then, Eldon was still focusing on handing over the bookshelves, and he was completely unaware of his existence until he got close.
So Ian deliberately became popular and sat down in the chair opposite him.
“Hmph, Hmph. Based on the books piled up here… You must be very interested in ancient craftsmanship. ”
And that was the beginning of the design that Ian drew.
* * *
When he first became aware of Eldon’s existence, in fact, Ian did not immediately recall a specific purpose.
I just vaguely thought that he might be able to extract information related to the fact that he was studying ancient conjunctivities.
But after gathering information about it, Ian was able to come up with a clear plan.
To be able to take it away from him.) is wider than I thought.
First and foremost, Eldon is a lexicographer who has yet to learn ‘ancient magical arts’.
At the same time, he was a practitioner who wanted to make “ancient magic.”
Eldon’s most needed ‘Ancient Magical Softening Skill Book’ is now in Ian’s hands.
“Hehe, things will be easier than I thought. ’
This is the best card that will give you the perfect edge in trading!
Of course, the ancient craftsmanship obtained from the Keep of Darkness was a ‘unique’ content, as Ian also knew.
In other words, the moment Ian acquires the ancient craft skills with this skill book, the skill book becomes completely useless.
Of course, Ian had no intention of handing over his unique content to Eldon.
That’s why Ian thought that Eldon would make the magic word “ancient dark footlock” “surrogate.”
‘Haha, even if I think about it, it’s so evil…… but I can’t help it, right? ’
Ian’s plan was simple.
First, he blushes as a softener who knows how to use ancient softener, then asks Eldon for large quantities of magic and softeners to improve softener proficiency therefrom.
And ripped it out of him.) using materials to quickly increase the proficiency of ductility in a short period of time, thus achieving the remaining proficiency of the ‘master’.
Once the craftsmanship reaches the Master, you will be able to obtain an Ancient Speech Skill Book, which should give him ample proxy for the Dark Baloch he desires, resulting in him not lying to Eldon (?)!
Of course, here’s the thing.
There was a task that Ian had to accomplish.
That’s why Eldon doesn’t see himself as a user.
No matter how much Eldon wanted to make the dark rock, he couldn’t share his recipe with the user.
But if Ian thinks it’s an NPC, asking for a proxy wouldn’t be weird at all.
To complete Ian’s design, you have to do it to perfection.
And Eldon, already obsessed with the softening of Darkbalock, had no doubt in Ian’s deliberate approach.
“Oh, I should introduce myself first. I’m Ian, my new associate. ”
“Ah, it’s good to see you, Ian. I’m Eldon, an associate researcher. ”
“I see. Nice to meet you. ”
“Are… are you here to see the books stacked here? ”
“Yes, Eldon. Ancient craftsmanship…… is a very fascinating discipline. ”
Ian, who had gathered information about Eldon beforehand, continued his conversation with him like liquidated oil.
without forgetting to release the rice cakes once in a natural conversation.
“I’ve been using ancient softening for quite some time, but it’s really profound. ”
“Huff! Do you know how to use… ancient magic skills?” ”
“Of course, Eldon. So we’re studying ancient conjunctivities. Don’t you think Eldon was an ancient magician? ”
I felt a little guilty about lying, but Ian struggled to self-rationalize.
All you have to do is listen to what Eldon wants. After all, what matters is the outcome. ’
And apart from his inner state, Eldon began to be drawn in as Ian had hoped, glittering with both eyes.
“I haven’t learned ancient conjunctivities yet. I was studying for clues like this. ”
“Haha, I see! ”
That’s exactly the question I was trying to pull out of Eldon in an instant.
“You said Ian? ”
“Yes, Eldon. ”
“Can you help me?” ”
Man is instinctively an animal who says, “Doubt.”
And that suspicion is that the more people who approach it for no reason, the bigger it is.
Ian was the one who approached us first in the current situation, so we could have bought Eldon’s suspicion if we had brought him up quickly.
So Ian thought the most important thing was to get Eldon to ask him for help first.
With the story he brought up first, Eldon won’t have any doubts.
“Hmm……. ”
When Ian stepped down for a moment, Eldon became more impatient.
And towards him, Ian opened his mouth slowly again.
“What can I do for you? ”
“I want to learn how to make magic……! ”
“Well, it’s not easy for me either. ”
“Well, is it? ”
“I also had the chance, but I’m not good at teaching or doing anything. ”
“Ah……. ”
“I’m sorry. I wanted to help Eldon… ”
When Ian blurred his words, Eldon became depressed.
And so far, it was a perfect scenario for Ian.
‘Yes. Next favor, Eldon! You don’t have to learn ancient craftsmanship by yourself to make ancient magic! ’
He glances at Eldon with a dead look on his face, and Ian glares at both eyes.
After a while, Eldon finally began to tell Ian the story he wanted.
“Then, Ian. ”
“Go ahead.”
“If you can’t teach me softness…… Could you give me a softness instead?” ”
“If so, what…? ”
“There’s one I really want to make, because it’s ancient magic. ”
“Aha.”
“If Ian is using ancient softness, I think he can make it…. ”
Ian, who was listening to Eldon’s story, could hardly bear the laughter of leaking out.
And in earnest, one or two stories began to come out.
