Babylon (5)
Hidden Quest: Give me your protection.
What is ‘Naedangga’ in short?
According to the description of the quest, it says:
‘The saint was a man who boasted close friendships with many outstanding and powerful people.’
‘You, who are the material of a saint, must prove that you will walk that path by meeting outstanding people.’
‘If you meet them, place a hand on their body, and say ‘Give me your protection’, you can receive their protection and increase various things such as stats or skill proficiency.’
This quest is meant to build strong relationships with many people, just like the king who went to Naedangga did.
In the process, the special energy that the saint possesses flows, allowing the target to receive protection.
This party seems like it would be easy to get protection, but it isn’t.
‘For the worthless, a worthless protection.’
‘Excellent protection for the excellent.’
Such things are brought down.
The way to predict which blessing they will give is to check how high the blessing level is.
‘Bella, which was applied as an example, is 18%.’
‘Arte the Wise 27%.’
‘The percentage of lucky people was 49%.’
Hyunsoo didn’t know it, but Bokdeungi was one of the four great gods, so her protection level had risen unusually.
Anyway, he was given four chances and used them twice.
I gripped Bahala’s hand tightly to apply one of the remaining two turns.
[He is the one who leads the times.]
[I feel an unprecedented sense of protection.]
This is a notification that I haven’t heard even from Bokdeungi, who gave me a whopping 49%.
‘He who leads the era… … .’
There was no denying it. Bahala was a leader of the times.
‘no way……?’
Hyunsoo could notice one thing.
The possibilities of Bahala before and after taking control of Babylon have increased dramatically.
According to the explanation I heard from him, he said that he had to have a complete Babylon to walk the path of the swordsman.
Also, the Babylon sword that Hyunsoo confirmed was one that could not be used even if restored.
By replacing that sword, a task that would otherwise take years was shortened.
Also, Bahala increased the possibility of becoming a swordsman to an abnormally high level.
That is, the Babylon that Hyunsoo sold returns to him as a great blessing.
[He has accumulated 221 amazing achievements.]
[He had the potential to become a god and the power to match.]
[‘Your protection for me’ is applied to the person who hoped for it.]
Tiring!
[Hidden Piece. The true meaning of ‘Your protection for me’ is complete.]
[Acquire additional Guardian Sword.]
Yes, the meaning of Naedangga is to build connections with many strong people.
I’m curious.
How much of a protection percentage does Bahala have that makes her vomit out notifications like this?
Soon, just like Bahala, Hyun Soo’s brain stopped working.
[The protection of Bahala is granted.]
[You also get 56% of the protection.]
‘… … Wow.’
It was a level that could only be achieved by combining two legends.
Then I remember one thing.
‘The type of protection received depends on the power of the target.’
Bahala only handles swords.
The fact was that Hyunsoo was also a user who handled swords.
[Sword Mastery increases by 4.]
[Sword attack power increases by 8% and magic attack power increases by 8%.]
[All sword-related attack skills deal 20% more damage.]
[Skill proficiency in sword-related skills increases 20% faster.]
[Cooldown of sword-related skills is reduced by 20%.]
[You are a blacksmith.]
[When you craft a sword, the sword’s basic attack power increases by 5%, and all effects are 5% more effective.]
‘This is crazy… … ‘
Hyunsoo is 15% stronger than he was 5 minutes ago.
Of this, close to 5% of the power is likely due to Bahala’s increased chance of becoming a swordsman by holding onto Babylon.
‘Of course I regretted it, and it’s true that I still regret it.’
There’s nothing I can do.
Because the value of Babylon could not be measured in money.
‘The number of demons appearing in the second Ares will increase.’
Demons are not monsters that can be hunted by individuals. They are beings that require large-scale raids.
But Bahala was different.
‘Someday I might even be able to defeat the Great Demon on my own.’

The value of monopolizing that reward was great.
Then, an additional notification came.
[Complete the job quest: Swordsman and the Blacksmith’s God.]
[You have completed the impossible quest with a wondrous achievement.]
[The system measures rewards.]
[You, as a descendant of the blacksmith god, have lusted after the completed Babylon.]
[However, he kept his promise regarding the commission he received and maintained his true pride as a blacksmith.]
[As a result, a connection was created between the descendant of the blacksmith god and the one who walks the path of the swordsman.]
[Babylon is the link between the two gods.]
[Babylon adds something special that applies only to you.]
‘… … Something special that only applies to me? What are you talking about?’
Babylon is not a sword that Hyun Soo holds, but it doesn’t make sense that it adds something special to him.
[Acquire the title Creator of Babylon.]
Hyunsoo was dumbfounded that he was only given a title for accomplishing such great things.
‘Are you kidding me!?’
But the moment I checked, I was embarrassed.
(Maker of Babylon)
My own title
Rating: S
Special Abilities:
·The creators of Babylon are special.
·Whenever the owner of Babylon achieves a wondrous feat, he or she randomly gains 1 to 3 stat points.
·When the owner of Babylon successfully hunts a common demon, he randomly acquires stats of 10 to 30.
·When the owner of Babylon succeeds in hunting the Great Demon, he randomly acquires stats of 40~70.
·A special title created by the connection between the owner and creator of Babylon.
·This title will automatically expire after 2 years.
‘Well done, Hyunsoo.’
Hyunsoo wanted to applaud himself.
Although he felt regretful, he sold the sword to Bahala without hesitation.
Based on this, it seems that Bahala can sit still and build up stats every time she builds up achievements.
Of course, it is a remarkable feat, as Hyun-soo has only done it less than 30 times so far.
But this monstrous Bahala has achieved more than 200 times, as evidenced by the previous notification.
According to statistics, the average number of amazing achievements a user achieves per year is about three.
However, Bahala is held about 50 times a year.
Of course, as the level increases, the number of times will inevitably decrease.
About 30 times.
But with just these 30 times, Hyunsoo can sit still and increase his stats by about 50 per year.
Even when Bahala is fighting a life-or-death battle, Hyunsoo just sits still and eats rice cakes.
Especially considering that Babylon specializes in capturing demons.
‘If Bahala catches a Great Demon, he randomly gains 40~70 stats? That’s crazy.’
Of course, since it disappears after 2 years, you may wonder if it is possible within that period, but if you succeed in hunting, you will gain an average of 50 stats.
Even the legendary stats Overwhelm and Will are random!
This title can be expressed as follows:
‘Automatic hunting as the Supreme…?’
It may be similar in general shape, but it is clearly a crazy force.
Hyunsoo couldn’t help but smile at the synergy created by his relationship with the Supreme Being.
‘Hehe, hehehehehehe.’
I have no regrets.
Babylon was sold to Bahala.
Rather, it was providing a great benefit.
one side.
“… … .”
Bahala, who had been shaking hands with Hyunsoo for a minute, said nothing.
Hyunsoo shaking hands with himself.
He is smiling, the corners of his mouth twitching as he repeatedly tightens and releases his grip.
That expression seems like that of someone excited about something.
Also, the expression on their faces looks like, ‘We finally held hands. Hehe… … .’
It was Bahala’s first time offering a handshake to someone.
You could say that it was the first time she opened her heart to Hyun-soo.
That’s why he couldn’t say anything for a minute.
Just hold on tight and laugh, he just said one word.
“… … I think you’re holding my hand too tightly.”
“Oh, sorry.”
Bahala quickly took her hand away.
He had complicated feelings.
The first one to open his heart.
Bahala stood at the entrance to the forge, his back turned.
Bahala’s complex expression under the warm sunlight was like a painting.
Bahala looked down at her hands.
He spoke to Hyun-soo, who was fiddling with his hands.
“… … I understand and respect your tastes.”
“… … ?”
Bahala. He turned his head and said with a very complicated expression.
“But I can’t.”
“???”
It was a voice that was filled with determination, and he said it because he was concerned about Hyun-soo.
“I’ll let you touch my hand once a year.”
He was quite friendly.
Of course, only for Hyunsoo.
***
Hyunsoo cleared up the misunderstanding(?) by telling me about Naedangga.
Of course, I didn’t say anything about the creator of the title Babylon.
This is not a title that Hyunsoo created, it is one that was given to him.
Even so, Bahala might feel bad about someone taking credit for his achievements.
Sometimes it’s better not to say anything.
Bahala has made a reasonable suggestion.
“6 billion. I admit it. This sword is worth 6 billion. No, it’s more than that.”
Of course, the sword itself is worth about 3 billion.
However, it can be said that the process made this sword worth over 6 billion.
“But do I really have to pay with money?”
Hyunsoo felt the meaning of those words.
‘See, Hyunsoo? I told you you did a great job.’
What does money mean to Hyunsoo?
There was a time when I felt like I would die from not having enough, but now I am confident that I can have an abundance.
I am confident that as time goes by I will accumulate a lot of wealth.
At this time, Bahala knew that Hyun-soo needed something more valuable than money.
“I’ll give you 3 billion. And tell me three things you want. If they’re not ridiculous, I’ll help you.”
Hyunsoo’s heart trembled.
Three things I want.
Three things you can say to Bahala, ranked #1, are worth more than three things you can say to the Sword King.
Does that mean Bahala gives it to Hyunsoo?
‘This isn’t it either.’
The value of Babylon’s production process is comparable to those three, so it is fitting.
“See you tomorrow, and that’s good.”
Bahala looked extremely relieved.
He glanced back and forth between his own hand and Hyun-soo’s hand.
“… … Don’t you want to log out quickly? Should I force you to log out?”
“Ugh.”
Bahala, who smiled slightly, logged out.
Hyunsoo felt it from the conversation just now.
I’ve become pretty close to him.
[You have logged out.]
Hyunsoo, who returned to reality, thought about three things.
Three things you want.
This is worth over 3 billion less.
All three of these are great enough to be asked to bring you artifact materials.
Hyunsoo took out a notepad and pen, and two things were quickly established for him.
And the last one.
I was wondering what to write and then one thing came to mind.
‘The ultimate goal that blacksmiths would naturally wish for. Let’s achieve it through Bahala.’
Hyunsoo finished writing three things.
The next day.
Hyunsoo meets Bahala again.
“Can you help me when I need it?”
Bahala and Hyunsoo are like the Sword King and Ben.
Not moved by friendship.
Moreover, a relationship that only provides help through friendship cannot last.
“It depends on the situation, but it is possible. Just respond to my call and I will help you.”
It was what Bahala had expected.
And this is something whose value can vary astronomically depending on the circumstances.
And Hyunsoo locked eyes with Bahala to say what happened next.
This second thing I’ll talk about is related to the blacksmiths and the ultimate thing that Hyun-soo wants.
What is that?
Hyunsoo has achieved one of the ultimate goals in that big picture.
The dream is to create an artifact using materials from dragons.
He made something that was thrilling and amazing to imagine come true.
And the following ingredients could be:
“Will you take me with you on your demon hunt?”
A dragon classified as a transcendent species.
Another transcendent species is the demon.
Don’t miss the opportunity to obtain demon materials through gathering and create artifacts.
