The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 51 - Kobold
“Eh?!” I was surprised to learn that I could contract monsters without having to wait for a notification from the system. As I glanced at Elin, there was a smile that clearly mocked me.
“I told you, right, Eric? Hahaha..” Elin laughed with satisfaction at my state.
“Damn it! Then why do I have to wait this long?”
“Entahlah. Haha…. All right we're back seriously, what's the status of the Kobold like?” Ask Elin to me. I also immediately showed the data in my Summoning Index.
“Hmm…. This Kobold had an extremely high Dexterity status. I think they'll be suitable to be craftsmen. Maybe you can handle the construction of a house? Hmm...” Elin answered while putting her chin on her fist. Honestly, the current appearance of Elin is so sweet.
Without me noticing, I looked at Elin for too long.
“See what you are, Eric?” Said Elin while putting on a cynical face.
“Ah…. No.. hahaha.” I reply nervously.
“Yes, I get it. You're a pretty ngenes single man, Eric. Looking at a girl as beautiful as myself you wouldn't stand it, would you? Aren't you rejected by the girl you liked at your school?” Elin replied in a proud tone with a smile.
“Eh?! Did I ever tell you?”
“Ah! Turns right. Hahaha..” Now Elin is back laughing at me knowing I was rejected by someone I liked in High School.
‘Damn it, why suddenly Elin came back like this...’ I thought in my heart.
To be honest, I was a little upset with Elin's behavior. I really wanted to hit him for laughing at me like that. But if I do….
‘Absolutely I have a chance of winning against him?’
Yes, I immediately undo my intentions and just cover my ears from Elin's ridicule. Of course I understand that Elin was just joking. But the joke just stabbed my heart.
After that, Elin and I resumed the discussion regarding the Kobold's placement within Origin City. We decided to make the Kobolds as craftsmen and blacksmiths because of their excellent Dexterity abilities.
The amount of consumption of mana needed to summon a Kobold was crazy enough that it was 5,000 MP. The combination of my Mana and Elin now reaches 120,000. I began to wonder where Elin came from. And when I asked him….
“I use this item, Eric.” Elin answered while showing 2 rings on her finger.
[Ring of Pure Mana +10]
Rating: Unique
[Attribute]
Maximum Mana: + 45,000
Maximum Mana: + 25%
“Bu-isn't that item too powerful?” I shouted hysterically as I looked at the status of the two rings.
“What's strong? This ring only increases the maximum amount of mana possessed. Besides it does not have the effect of supporting the fight directly.” Answer Elin.
If you think logically, it is true. Elin's ring looks so strong. But if in actual combat, it would be more profitable to use accessories that enhance the 5 main attributes. Especially Agility and Stamina for Assassin-type Players.
“This ring only gets too strong when I use it with you, Eric. That's because all your skills require such a large mana.” Elin.
“You're right too…. I thought that the ring was strong because I always needed a lot of Mana. By the way where did you get that ring?”
“A secret S-level mission. The content of the mission was to guard some nobles from the other party's attacks. What appeared was an extremely powerful Assassin out of nowhere kingdom.”
‘Hah? Isn't that too dangerous?’ I thought in my heart.
“Da-and you win?”
“Stupid, of course I lost. The assassin offered me these 2 rings to thwart my mission and join him. Of course I'm coming.” Elin replied in an arrogant tone while crossing her arms.
“Don't you need to boast of your betrayal?”
“If I don't do it we won't be able to get here, Eric. Yes although I finished it long before getting to know you.”
Unbeknownst to me, the Kobold I had summoned had now reached number 20 and Elin's Mana was beginning to thin out. As a test, Elin and I took them into the City and asked him to forge a sword. A forging goblin was at the side of each Kobold to give directions.
“Do you think the result is Elin?” My toot.
“Curtain Normal Rating for now. But it could also reach the Good Rating. Yes, considering they are all still at the Normal level.” Answer Elin.
Time had passed since those 20 Kobolds were forging swords. Elin and I went around watching the work of each Kobold. But still I do not understand the difference in the work of each of these kobolds.
“Eric, this Kobold has talent in this...” Said Elin occasionally after paying attention to each Kobold. It's only natural that Elin has Observer abilities.
Until at the end.
They finished forging the sword.
“Didn't everything produce a Normal rating?” Elin said with annoyance.
Of course it's upset. Even I also had a little wish on their high Dexterity. But the truth is the same. Even some Forging Goblins were able to produce items with Good rarity.
But after that we realized. There was a Kobold that had not finished forging.
“Elin, is he talented in forging?” Ask her.
“No, he doesn't have any talent. Let's go soon, He also definitely produced the item Normal.” Elin answered, taking me away.
We are continuing to call the Kobold to increase its population. Every hour we can call about 25 Kobolds. The numbers are low, but will soon be a big number.
Every time he finished calling, Elin immediately checked their talent and put him in the right position. If they have no talent, then they will be sent to the craftsmen section considering their only advantage is high Dexterity.
Without feeling we've been calling for over 20 hours. The 500 summoned Kobolds had also obtained their respective jobs.
“Mr Eric! Miss Elin!” Shouted a Goblin all of a sudden.
“What's up?” My reply was brief while continuing the Kobold summoning.
“I want to hand over an Item made by a Kobold before.”
Elin who heard that immediately replied.
“Newly finished? Isn't there a limit even though he isn't talented? Even his friends had finished that sword 20 hours ago.” Elin replied in a slightly annoyed tone.
“Where is Kobold?” I asked to connect the words Elin.
“She is still in the iron forging place. Please see this sword,” Goblin said.
“Oi Elin, quickly check the sword,” My words to Elin who until now only busy browsing the internet through the window menu, he said,
“Aah. I'm sure the rating is just normal. Best also Good rate...” Suddenly, Elin's words stopped in the middle of the road.
“Elin? What's up?” My toot.
“Why did he make a big sword? Besides of…. What the fuck is this rating?! Isn't he a Normal-level Kobold that has no talent?!” Shouted Elin.
“Elin what's up? Don't make me a timer...” I who immediately approached Elin to see the status of the sword was now silent.
