Overgeared

[Protect the Black Tortoise]

[★ Hidden Quest ★

Someone unknown has completed the ritual of resurrection when the black tortoise’s ego is divided into two.

Therefore, the black tortoise has been divided into the black tortoise of death and the black tortoise of water.

Help reunite the black tortoise of death with the black tortoise of water.

Quest Clear Condition: Reunion of the black tortoise of death and the black tortoise of water.

Quest Clear Rewards: Black tortoise’s shell. Affinity with the black tortoise will reach the maximum.

Quest Failure: The weakening of the black tortoise. The balance of the Four Auspicious Beasts will collapse. The new episode ‘Descent of King Sobyeol’.

★ Once the Descent of King Sobyeol occurs, the myths of the East Continent will once again be covered with lies.]

‘Who is King Sobyeol?’ It was the first time he heard this name in the game. Based on the content, it was only possible to guess that it was one of the Five Seniors. On the other hand, the identity of the unknown person who completed the resurrection ritual was obvious. It was Hwang Gildong, the man who stole the Black Tortoise Jewel.

The clear rain falling was thickening.

[The protection of the black tortoise will cover all things in the north.]

[The level and stats of all beings living in the south will rise slightly.]

[Some of the weakened sacred creatures have regained a bit of their strength.]

[Some of the scattered traces of the false myths will disappear.]

[A small number of beings living in the north will be hostile to the Hwan Kingdom.]

[The news isn’t transmitted to the two kingdoms of Pa and Kaya due to the interference of the Hwan Kingdom.]

[The people of the Cho Kingdom are happy to feel the resurrection of the black tortoise.]

It wasn’t news to be pleased about. Once the red phoenix was resurrected, the level and stats of all beings living in the south were ‘greatly’ increased and recovery had improved. Some of the weakened sacred creatures had ‘fully’ regained their strength. The false myths that had been scattered were ‘all’ burned and ‘all’ the beings living in the south were hostile to the Hwan Kingdom. Compared to the beneficial effects created by the resurrection of the red phoenix, the beneficial effects created by the resurrection of the black tortoise were reduced.

‘Damn, is this true?’

Grid frowned as he realized the seriousness of the situation but he couldn’t blame Hwang Gildong. Grid and the rankers would’ve already been wiped out if Hwang Gildong hadn’t stolen the jewel and the resurrection of the black tortoise itself would’ve been impossible.

Yes, strictly speaking, Hwang Gildong was a benefactor. He did well enough. It was regrettable that the timing of the black tortoise’s resurrection was wrong... no, could it truly be called a mistake?

‘Did he intentionally aim for this?’

Grid recalled his meeting with Qi Jian’s group. They belonged to the Chivalrous Robbers and not only knew the truth of the world but that the red phoenix had been resurrected. They even figured out the location of the Black Tortoise Jewel. The intelligence network of the Chivalrous Robbers was superior to Grid.

‘It is extremely unlikely that Hwang Gildong, the leader of the Chivalrous Robbers, wouldn’t have known this situation.’

In the first place, Hwang Gildong himself had personally entered the battlefield. It would be impossible for him to not discover that the black tortoise of death was with Grid on the battlefield.

‘He knew the black tortoise’s ego is divided into two but still performed the resurrection ritual...’

This was terrible. Grid’s purpose for the complete resurrection of the Four Auspicious Beasts might be different from Hwang Gildong’s purpose. Grid had a headache and was frowning when Bubat approached him and asked, “Grid, did you fail the quest? Why are you looking gloomy alone?”

Obviously, the expressions of Bubat and the other high rankers were bright. They had no idea that the black tortoise was resurrected in an incomplete state and seemed glad to get the rewards from clearing the quest.

Grid didn’t want to spoil the mood and smiled.
