Taming Master-Chapter 527 - Discovering the Mechanical Civilization 1

After the quests related to the Frost cave were completed, all the rewards began to spread before the eyes of Ian’s party.

Staring with the transcendence experience, many stats related to spirit were coming up.

And there was a ‘spirit spell’ content specifically for a summoner.

Needless to say that both Ian and Vanessa were both smiling till their ears.

Tring-!

[You have used the item ‘Pan’s secret instructions’ item.]

[Acquired ‘intermediate spirit’.]

[New content of ‘Spirit spell’ has been opened. (Only for the Korean server of Kailan.)]

[From now, the summoner class will be able to learn the ‘spirit spell’ from all the spirits of the Spirit dimension.]

[Have pioneered the spirit spell.]

[Increase of fame by 500,000.]

[Obtained spirit magic (transcendence) of 100.]

[Obtained summon magic (transcendence) of 60.]

[‘Affinity’ (transcendence) increased by 15.]

[Leadership (transcendence) increased by 17.]

When the spirit spell opened, Ian was being surrounded in five different colors.

After a while, all the rays of light that were circling around Ian got sucked into the chest.

Since it was the first content of the Middle-Earth that was opened, there was nothing else extraordinary than the rewards.

However, Ian wasn’t wondering about those stuff.

With the next messages that popped up, he was trying to gather any information that could mean anything.

‘So… if failed, it is a quest can’t be tried again. I guess there was a reason for it.’

In fact, the penalty for failure as no more re-challenge was a terrible one.

At first glance, it was like the new content of ‘spirit spell’ could be lost forever with a single fail.

So Ian, in the beginning, determined that the difficulty of ‘Pan’s Gate’ wouldn’t be that difficult.

If the ‘spirit spell’ couldn’t be obtained in the first quest and fails, the sense of deprivation would be enormous for anyone.

But Ian’s predictions were all wrong.

The quest difficulty was much harder than he had imagined.

Even the last gate, even if it was Ian, there was no way that he could have cleared it all by himself.

Therefore, Ian determined that there could be other ways to obtain the ‘spirit spell’ in the forest in addition to the quest in the Frost Cave.

If another quest is given or maybe there was another way, there could be other manners for the spirit spell to be obtained.

And from the messages he just confirmed, he realized that part of his guess was indeed right.

If just one person per server clears the quest, the summoner users of that specific server will be able to learn the spirit spell.

Thanks to the effort of Ian, the summoner users of the Korean server, if they could enter the spirit dimension, then they would be able to learn the spirit spell without much difficulty.

‘Well, there is nothing majorly wrong with that. The stat rewards are ridiculously great.’

Starting with the spirit magic and leadership.

Ian’s mouth smiled as he confirmed the reward.

The increase of the affinity and the leadership with 15 and 17 did seem a bit too insignificant, but that wasn’t the case at all.

The proficiency multiplier if the Middle-Earth and the earth were 100:1.

The leadership of 1700 meant another mythical beast of a level 400 or higher.

And again, there was a few more important information in the message.

‘Content that could be used by the Korean server users only…’

With that information, Ian was able to speculate the direction of Kailan’s ‘Middle-Earth’ planning.

‘I think they want to put in competitions between the servers.’

Depending on the speed of the opening content, the speed of the development of the server users would depend.

And Kailan’s servers were split by countries.

And as Ian had guessed, if the competition between the countries would be created soon.

‘Soon the Middle-Earth with PK will be opened.’

After completing the analysis, Ian stared at Vanessa and Sarah.

Simple-minded Vanessa was just moving around, but Sarah was quite serious about something.

Ian was thinking to himself.

‘Huhu, if one understands the game well like Sarah, they would’ve noticed that I’m not a user of the German server.’

At least would be able to guess that Ian wasn’t a user of the German server…

When the message of ‘only for Kailan 00 server users’ had come up, a little more could be understood, then the truth could be inferred.

A small laugh escaped from the mouth of Ian when his eyes met with Sarah’s.

Sarah had an expression which said she wanted to ask a lot.

And it was something that could be talked about after getting out of the Frost Cave, but Ian had another important thing he had to do.

It was time to check that new content of ‘spirit spell’.

-Beginner Spirit Spell

Classification: Passive

Skill Level: Lv 0

Skill proficiency: 0 percent

Magic consumption: none

It is the ability to summon and communicate with the spirits.

The higher the skill level and proficiency of the ‘spirit spell’, the more summoned spirits and the spirit magic could be used.

The combat abilities of the spirit will increase in proportion to the affinity stats of the summoner.

Spirit magic increases in proportion to the summoner affinity stat.

*Current extra stats (Based on the level of skill 0.)

Summoned spirit’s battle ability is increased by (100%) as of affinity stat.

The summoned spirit’s magic is increased in proportion to the ‘affinity’.

“…!”

‘Beginner spirit spell’, the eyes of Ian which just checked the information went wide.

With the things that were written in the information window of the Spirit Spell, one of the questions which were lingering in his mind had been put to rest.

‘Indeed! Until now, I was thinking about the affinity stats of the summoner career that was too low…’

The stats that were of the highest value for a summoner were the leadership, affinity and the training.

It was the three stats at the top of the stats window.

Leadership, as everyone knew was the most important stat for a summoner.

The higher the leadership, the higher-ranked familiar could be used.

And in the case of training, it was related to the term ‘control’ of and with their familiars, which too was very important.

The higher the training, the more agile and accurately the familiar would respond to the orders of its masters.

Lowe rank and low-level summons would give maximum assimilation rate even with a low level of training, but the higher the level of summons, the higher will be the need for the training to control them.

However till now, unlike those two stats, the affinity was a rather vague concept.

The role of the affinity till then was to make it easier for the summon to be captured. So that they can be more familiar with the masters.

The above two were necessary and though the affinity was needed, it wasn’t as essential as leadership or training.

Affinity was a structure that would maximize at some point or the other and for the summons, there were many other ways of how they could be captured.

However, when the content of the ‘spirit spell’ began to start, the importance of the affinity stat went up tremendously.

The higher the affinity, the higher the power of the spirits and the spirit magic would grow.

‘I guess… there is no unimportant stat in Kailan.’

Ian’s head was filled with rough estimation and calculations of the affinity conversions.

With the affinity of Ian’s of the Earth; even if they are the lowest level spirits, 300 of them could be summoned.

And to such a deep thinking Ian, Prettybbook approached.

“I was surprised bbook. My friend Pan was a really great summoner. In particular, Pan’s spirit spell was a number among the ‘Intermediate beings’ bbook.”

Thinking about Pan, Prettybbook had a longing expression.

And by then, Ian’s eyes moved.

‘Is there any information that I can strip off her?’

By now, it was possible for Ian to draw a rough picture about the content of ‘Spirit spell’.

But now, he was just one step ahead and Ian was very curious.

Ian looked at Prettybbook and opened his mouth,

As always, it was necessary for him to remove as much information as he could from the NPC while it was off guard.

“Yeah, surely Pan was a great summoner. And to preserve ancients spirits in their top form is amazing.”

“Bbook-bbokbok!”

“I never knew about such a great summoner till now, I need to reflect on this.”

“It is fine Bbook! Since you know now bbook!”

Ian looked at the excited Prettybbook with a blank expression.

Seeing the conversation that was going on between the two, the two sisters were looking at them with a silly expression.

“Unnie, that is weird.”

“That, that it is. That definitely isn’t normal…”

And the next moment, both of them couldn’t help to continue on.

In the dialogue between the two, the information about the spirit spells began to pour out.

* * *

“Phew, what are you going to do now, Ralph?”

“What do you think? Now there is nothing more to see in here, let’s head back to the windy plains.”

“Ha… too bad. If there was just one more person, it was needed.”

“Don’t feel too down Inisco. In addition to the Frost Cave, there maybe other quests that would give the spirit spell.”

“Yeah, well Ralph is right. If the linked quest is broken, then surely other chances will be given.”

At the entrance of the Frost Cave, where blue chills were raging.

In front of it was a small vacant lot, four users were seated feeling disgusted.

And it was the party of Ralph, they were frustrated about the Pan’s gate.

Inisco, the only summoner user of the party sighed and spoke,

“Phew, even I think the same, Muel. But when we are on linked quests, someone else will clear the gate of Pan.”

At those words from Inisco, Muel went silent.

It was undeniable as they just confirmed a latecomer to the dimension.

“Hmm…”

Inisco continued,

“The thing I feel bad about it, not being able to pre-empt the content.”

Chesk who listened to it tried to comfort Inisco.

“That won’t be Inisco. What we couldn’t do, won’t be that easy for anyone who tries to do it. It surely won’t be any easy for any party to clear such a thing.”

But with those words from Chesk, Inisco’s expression turned dark.

Pan’s Gate was the most important dungeon for a summoner and that was the most depressing thing for Inisco.

He just nodded his head realizing that talking was not going to do any good to him.

“Hey, okay Chesk. I hope that is the case.”

“Don’t stress, Inisco.”

Muel who was silent till then spoke again.

“Cheer up, Inisco. It is a good idea to head to the Wind plains once the linked quest is cleared.”

“Yeah well, Muel is right. And none of the party members had been out of the game, right?”

“Well, if even one of us died, we can’t go to the wind plains.”

After a while, the party of Ralph recovered from the shock of the quest failure and began to rearrange their settings.

By failing to clear the Pan’s gate quest, it wasn’t like they hadn’t received anything.

Despite the failure, a linked quest was created for them.

Beyond the wind plains and arriving at the Spirit Sanctuary, there was another content that can be pre-empted.

“Kay, would you like to leave?”

At the question from Ralph, all the party members nodded.

If they traveled by Inisco’s summon ‘Griffin King’, they would reach the wind plain fast.

And when thought about the next piece of the content, the party began to seem lively again.

But right then, Inisco who was trying to summon his ‘griffin king’ stopped.

“What is it?”

“What is wrong Inisco?”

The party members asked Inisco with a puzzled expression, however, he hadn’t answered.

Instead, he just lifted his finger and pointed.

And the eyes of the other three moved in a direction where he pointed and went shocked.

Three users were walking out of the Frost Cave.

Of all four, Ralph was the most surprised one.

‘The knight that I saw at the second gate!’

It was because he saw the ‘knight’ user who mysteriously broke through the second gate.

Ralph’s head was working hard.

‘Why is he coming out of there now?’

He was expecting them to be a party that failed to clear the second gate.

And if that was the case, they should have come out of the dungeon a few hours ago.

But coming out in that timing…

‘Don’t tell me that he… cleared it?’

Ralph’s eyes started to waver.
