Owner of Twilight Intuition – Chapter 244

“50%?”

If this 50% referred to the attribute and attribute resistance on weapons and armor, it was ridiculously difficult.

For example, the legendary item, the Sword of the Guardian God, has a light attribute value of 25%.

In other words, it meant that you had to obtain two of those Swords of the Guardian God to complete this quest. Realizing this fact, the players finally erupted with the complaints they had been holding back.

“This is crazy! How can we gather the light attribute!?”

“Attribute equipment? That only appears from rare equipment, right?”

“What kind of ridiculous quest is this!?”

“Are you trying to pull a fast one to embezzle funds!?”

“The rewards are ridiculously low!”

Leaving aside everything else, I couldn’t help but agree that the rewards were low.

5,000 Divine Contribution Points.

It wasn’t a small amount, but compared to the quest content of gathering the light attribute, it didn’t seem to add up.

‘How do I actually get the light attribute?’

I had a feeling that minerals with the light attribute would become expensive on the Cash Transaction Window from now on.

Should I buy them now?

“Cash Transaction Window.”

My contemplation was short-lived.

The sooner, the better.

Thinking that, I opened the Cash Transaction Window and searched for light attribute minerals, but all I could see was an empty transaction window, as if everything had already been swept clean.

“……”

“What are you doing?”

“I checked the Cash Transaction Window. Just in case there were any light attribute minerals.”

Sina, slightly intrigued by my answer, asked back.

“And the result?”

“All gone.”

The Church of Light was located not only here but all over the continent.

Unlike us, who went to the wanderer for a new skill, those who were in the village from the beginning would have gone straight to the Church of Light, and if so, it was understandable that everything would have been swept clean.

In short, we were too late.

“This is going to be troublesome. There are four of us, so we need to gather a total of 200% light attribute.”

“That’s right.”

Moreover, it would be foolish to obtain and offer rare equipment, so we had no choice but to turn our attention to minerals, but that wasn’t easy either.

“Ah, Ikarium Ore. Can’t that ore contain attributes?”

Ikarium? I’ve heard that somewhere before.

“Just a moment.”

Thinking it would be faster to check the Cash Transaction Window than to ponder, I searched again and found Ikarium Ore, and as Sina said, I could find quite a lot of Ikarium.

[Ikarium Ingot (Wind Attribute)] (Magic)

[Ikarium Ingot (Darkness Attribute)] (Magic)

[Ikarium Ingot……]

‘As if by magic, there’s no light attribute.’

Except for the light attribute.

“There’s no light attribute.”

Anyway, when I told her honestly, Sina seemed to be seriously thinking with a small sigh, and Yua also seemed to be thinking in her own way, but only Rine asked with a puzzled look.

“Doesn’t the Emperor Guild have any mines they own?”

“Mines?”

Not a dungeon, but a mine?

“Yes, most guilds have their own mines. I thought the Emperor Guild would naturally have one too.”

‘Owning a mine?’

This was the first time I’d heard of it while playing the game.

Well, I hadn’t actually been to a mine except for the first day.

‘But even if there really was a mine……’

I wasn’t keen on it.

If we received help from the Emperor Guild, gathering the light attribute would be a piece of cake, but this time I wanted to solve it with just the people here, without the guild’s help.

Besides, the three people besides me weren’t even members of the Emperor Guild.

If I took care of the light attribute for these three as well, I felt like I’d end up progressing through the main scenario with the Emperor Guild out of guilt.

“Let’s exclude direct help. They have to progress through the main scenario too.”

But trying to do it without the Emperor Guild’s help felt daunting.

How could we get it?

“Just a moment.”

‘Hm?’

While I was thinking about how to obtain the light attribute, I saw Sina approaching the NPC for some reason.

So I watched, and Sina was taking out some potion and asking about it here and there. Soon after hearing the NPC’s answer, she returned with a smile as if everything was settled.

“I think it’s done.”

“What is? The light attribute?”

“Yes, I showed him this potion just in case. He said we can fill 1% of the light attribute per potion.”

Sina held out the potion as if to show me, and upon checking, I could see it was a Flash Explosion Potion.

A potion that could inflict a small amount of damage and seal vision for 10 seconds when thrown.

But could we really fill the light attribute with this kind of potion?

It was an unexpected result, but thanks to it, it felt like we had a breakthrough.

“Then we need to make 200 of these.”

“If we have the ingredients, there’s no reason we can’t make them. However, it might be difficult to obtain them in the field.”

“……How did you make that potion?”

“This? I made it with herbs I received as a quest reward. I think you can probably buy them on the Cash Transaction Window too.”

‘Should I buy them on the Cash Transaction Window?’

The reason I thought this was because Sina had to gather the ingredients for 200 potions by herself.

The rest of us, excluding Sina, didn’t have herb-related skills, so we couldn’t gather them, and for that reason, Sina had no choice but to gather them alone.

‘At least there’s no time limit.’

Since there was no time limit, it seemed like we could just focus on obtaining the ingredients.

“Anyway, it’s decided. Let’s go get the ingredients.”

*　*　*

We found out that we needed a herb called ‘Sunshine Bud’ to make Sina’s Flash Explosion Potions.

Moreover, since they were sold for a cheap price of 3,000 won each on the Cash Transaction Window, I bought them all without hesitation and was able to obtain a total of 22 Sunshine Buds, but it was still not enough.

So I caught Heron, who still hadn’t left the wanderer, and asked him about the location where Sunshine Buds appeared. Heron instructed his guild members and found out easily enough to tell me.

“Ah, there it is!”

Anyway, the dungeon we found in that way was a large cave where sunlight shone through several small holes in the ceiling.

‘I wondered why Sunshine Buds would be in a cave.’

Looking in the direction Sina ran, there was definitely sunlight shining from the ceiling.

Just by looking at that, I could tell where it was.

However, since I didn’t have any herb-related skills, I couldn’t see the Sunshine Buds, so in the end, Sina had no choice but to gather them.

‘But when will we gather 200 of them?’

You couldn’t just gather herbs endlessly.

A certain amount of time had to pass before the herbs would respawn. Considering that, I thought it would take at least a week.

“Wow, this place is the best!”

At that moment, I heard Rine’s excited voice from one side, and soon I could see her fiercely fighting the giant ants, the monsters of this place.

“Flame Arrow!”

For reference, the level of this dungeon wasn’t that high, so we didn’t form a party.

Instead, we let Rine fight alone, which was a way of allowing her to gain experience on her own.

“Rine fights well too.”

“Hmm, she’s definitely not bad.”

Agreeing with Yua’s words, I looked at Rine again, who was fighting the giant ants.

Perhaps due to the skill effect, Rine was circling around the giant ants and casting magic. I didn’t think I remembered anyone who could move like that while casting magic.

Usually, mages didn’t fight in close quarters like that because of their low health and defense.

But Rine was wearing leather armor that increased agility and wielding a sword for some reason, moving around and casting magic. And whenever she dealt enough damage, she would immediately attack with her sword to finish them off.

‘Is that the magic swordsman?’

To put it nicely, it was a capable display of handling both close and long-range combat, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that both were somewhat ambiguous.

If she had focused on being a mage, she would have been quite good.

Of course, there wouldn’t be any problem if she acquired two S-rank passive skills for both sword and magic.

If she did that, she would definitely be powerful.

“How is it? I’m fighting really well, right?”

‘Well, it doesn’t matter if she likes it.’

If I remember correctly, Sina had tried to dissuade her before.

But the fact that she continued to pursue the magic swordsman style despite that meant that she liked it, so I didn’t have any intention of stopping her.

‘By the way, I’m in a bit of a bind too.’

We had to gather the attribute, and there was nothing I could do.

So I thought about whether I should also acquire a gathering skill, but even if Sina could gather them alone, it wasn’t like we could gather more just by having two people.

“But because my attack power is low, they don’t go down easily. It might be dangerous if three of them attack at once?”

“I’ll help you then.”

Suddenly, listening to Rine’s words, it seemed like she was evaluating herself quite calmly.

Yua told Rine not to worry in a reassuring tone, and I looked at Rine and remembered the Magician’s Magic Gloves I had drawn a few days ago.

A unique item that increased magic attack power despite being gloves.

Moreover, since I had drawn it from the Luxury Shop Box, it didn’t have any stat restrictions.

‘Well, it’s okay to lend them to her.’

Since they were just sitting in the bank anyway, I thought it wouldn’t be bad for someone I knew to use them, so I used the Remote Bank Access Ticket to take out the Magician’s Magic Gloves.

“Rine-nim.”

“You can speak comfortably. I’m much younger than you.”

You’re not that much younger.

Anyway, I used the Rental System and set the maximum time of 100 hours before lending the Magician’s Magic Gloves to Rine.

“Huh? What is this it……em?”

Rine’s voice trailed off as she checked the item she received through the Rental System.

It seemed like she was speechless.

Thinking that it was understandable since it was a unique Luxury Shop item without stat restrictions, I said simply.

“You said your attack power is low, so use them for the time being.”

“Ah, yes. Thank you! I’ll use them well!”

And then, I started to worry about when we would gather all the Sunshine Buds, leaving behind Rine, who was already wearing the gloves and looking around for any wandering giant ants.
