“I understand. If you just decide the place and time, I will go there.”

“…Are you really going to meet him?”

At the positive answer that returned, Rafina showed a slightly surprised reaction.
Because he is a person of interest in many ways, she thought he would be reluctant to expose his identity.

“That mister is consistent.”

Luna who was watching the conversation brought out words.

“Have you also met him before, Luna-ssi?”
“I had a few meetings for work I was proceeding with Rafina. I saw his face every time then. He’s a person who likes people an awful lot.”

Luna shrugging her shoulders saying she ran into him often afterwards as well.
It seemed the person who is the representative had a considerably extroverted personality.

“Ah, he gave a reply.”

At that time, Rafina who had sent a message checked it.
Her expression became a little more troubled.

“What’s wrong?”
“That… he asked if Luna and I could also meet together.”
“Me too?”

A proposal abruptly added to the transaction with Han-bit.
Rafina who seemed slightly embarrassed looked at her friend in the next seat and spoke.

“Don’t mind it too much. It must be because he wants to see your face for no reason.”
“Hmm.”

Luna sank into thought for a moment.
And then looking at Han-bit’s face she asked.

“Black Dragon-ssi, wouldn’t it be uncomfortable for you if we go too?”
“Yes?”
“You might be reluctant to reveal your identity right? For me my face is already known, and Rafina belongs to a company so there’s no burden.”
“Ah.”

The worry containing consideration was understandable.
Because as a famous player, revealing his identity becomes a risk.
However, such a risk is bound to change depending on the opponent.

“I am fine. Because the important thing is the transaction.”
“Is that so?”

At the calm answer, Luna made a smirk.
She spoke looking at her friend who still had a sorry expression.

“I’ll go too. When is the time?”
“Uh? You are really coming?”
“It’s been a while since we saw each other’s faces right? I somehow feel like it will be fun too.”
“Don’t know if there will be… fun, but I understand.”

Rafina who nodded her head continued contacting the company again.
Only after exchanging a few confirmations was the appointment decided.

“1 PM, Vestige Head Office 7th floor. Checked.”

Han-bit who nodded his head turned his gaze to the system window.
The current time is 11:50 PM.
He thought about turning off the game immediately, but right now is a time he has to move a bit tightly.
Giving Rafina the information on Spirits he promised and organizing…….

“Could I also ask you one thing?”

At that time, Luna abruptly brought out words.

“It’s fine. Please speak comfortably.”
“The Snow Drake content. What are you thinking of doing?”
“…Ah.”

The intention of the question was immediately understood.
The condition attached after the Snow Drake subjugation.
It was also the root that made the situation complicated.

“Are you saying that because of the Ifrit episode?”
“Yes. There are incredibly many people hoping Black Dragon-ssi will enter immediately. There would be hundreds just with the Advance Party alone.”

Luna conveyed the atmosphere of the community Astra.
The Advance Party and their team members who chose episode initialization following Han-bit’s walkthrough.
They wrapped up the Edlen story well, but the next episode abruptly got blocked.
To them who must advance as fast as possible, it must be news like a bolt from the blue right.

“You two are also trying to initialize the Edlen episode right?”
“Yes. I plan to proceed while continuously initializing.”
“I am the same as Luna too.”

Luna and Rafina both nodded their heads and agreed.
At that answer, a doubt suddenly arose.

“Rafina-ssi, didn’t you start in Belmora? I thought the entire Vestige company was in the same direction.”
“There are a few people who started in Edlen too. Because I received a contract offer shortly before becoming an Advance Party member…….”

Rafina who was an early player started in Edlen and advanced at a fast speed.
The Advance Party ranking in the 4,000s climbed while holding worries regarding Spirits in her arms.
Unlike her timid personality, her play didn’t seem to be like that.
Han-bit conveyed the answer to the question to the two people.

“To tell you the conclusion, I will challenge it right at the time the content opens. I will have to gather some raid members though.”
“Then could you put me in that raid too?”
“…Luna-ssi?”

A favor thrown refreshingly direct.
There wasn’t even a trace of trying to weigh practical interests.

“If it is alright, would it be possible for me too? I think I need to meet that scientist named Isis quickly…….”

Rafina also wanted to enter the raid.
Isis’s ability to interpret the power of Spirits.
She must have great expectations on that.

‘It would be good if the two of them come but.’

Mid-ranked Advance Party members Luna and Rafina are a combat power he absolutely shouldn’t miss.
However, what is important in this subjugation is the monopoly of major rewards.
He planned to realize that with the item distribution authority given to the raid leader.

“Then shall we make a transaction?”
“A transaction?”
“What kind of transaction is it?”

As he handed over a proposal, the two people immediately showed interest.
Han-bit brought out the main point considering the most reasonable line.

“I intend to take the major rewards of the Snow Drake. If you help me with that, I will give you items or information the two of you want.”
“By any chance… what kind of things regarding Spirits are there?”

Rafina’s interests were consistent.
Han-bit who nodded his head spoke to her.

“I said I would give you some help earlier right? Originally I was only going to give you information, but if you help with my work, I will personally guide you to the Spirit’s Garden.”
“The Spirit’s Garden…!”

Rafina jumped up grabbing the table.
Han-bit added one explanation.

“You probably only dropped by the Spirit’s Village, but the Garden is a place with much thicker energy than that. Since you already communed with inferior spirits of two elements, there will definitely be results.”
“Then I will help! Please let me definitely do it!”

An opportunity she must obtain beyond liking it.
Snow Drake’s reward or whatever was to the point it didn’t matter at all.

“Thank you. Then Luna-ssi…….”
“Could I also go to that Spirit’s Garden together?”
“Yes?”

Han-bit who was going to suggest a few candidate groups was embarrassed.
Because she didn’t have any particular connection to Spirits.

“Luna-ssi, you shouldn’t strictly need to go to the Garden right?”
“Because I got a little interested.”

A simply returned answer.
If the person herself wants it, it’s a strange picture to recommend something else too.

“Then I will guide both of you to the Spirit’s Garden.”
“Yes!”
“I like it.”

The discussion was wrapped up faster than expected.
While he was fascinated, Luna asked.

“You said you need more raid members besides us right? I will gather that for you.”
“If you help me I would be grateful, but how are you going to get them?”
“I’ll try receiving applicants putting up the condition of Black Dragon-ssi’s reward monopoly. If I write down that we can’t depart under a certain number of people, there will be people who bite the bait right? Since there are quite a lot of Advance Party members stomping their feet.”

A good opinion to utilize the psychology of the Advance Party.
Furthermore if the recruiter is Luna, there is no humans who will have doubts.

“I will also try asking people around me. Because it’s better the more trustworthy people come.”

Rafina also clenched her fists tightly saying she would add strength.
The will of the two to sincerely help was clearly felt.

“Thank you. Then I will leave the raid members to the two of you.”

Han-bit who was inwardly moved immediately stood up from his seat.
The method to repay is only listening to their wishes with certainty.

“I will escort you to the Garden. Let’s move immediately.”

***

Han-bit’s party exiting the city headed to the northern forest.
It was the path going to the precipice to meet Asla.

– Said they’re going to meet Spirits?
– Is Rafina nunna’s Spirit blockade pierced?
– But why is Rafina here?
– Composition is crazy. Lol
– Luna + Rafina + Black Dragon + @
– @ = Jae-ha hem + Bang-ga bastard
– It’s a person, a person;

As he turned on the broadcast sound and conveyed the situation, the viewers’ chat went up in swarms.
Watching that, Luna spoke with a smirk.

“Did you know Rafina also sponsored?”
“…To me?”
“Luna!”

Rafina reaching out her hand to block her mouth.
Han-bit was also quite surprised.

“I didn’t see that name, it seems you use a different nickname.”
“That is… I used the name ‘Spirit’. Reveal my identity is a bit embarrassing so…….”

– Uh?
– Spirit?
– Nickname value what the. Lol
– Isn’t she the person who sprinkled millions of won?
– ㅇㅇ I saw it too.
– As expected of Advance Party class;

Han-bit also remembered the viewer named Spirit.
Because she was a person who sponsored 5,000,000 won twice, and also steadily sent sponsorships without messages.
If summed up, it reached tens of millions of won.
But to think that identity was Rafina.

“Thank you. You gave a lot of help.”
“No, what do you mean thankful! The things I learned from Black Dragon-nim’s broadcast are so many, I naturally have to pay the viewing fee!”

Even if she mainly uses other skills, the identity as a Spirit Summoner was precious to her.
Even if she had been stopped in place for 10 months, that heart did not break.
Moreover, since she even initialized her episode and proceeded, she actually received a lot of help.

“How was the Edlen episode? My walkthrough might have been ambiguous to use as a reference.”
“It wasn’t identical, but I wrapped it up to my liking. Thanks to skipping Julio’s quest, I was able to safely take Atsbel too.”
“I also thought about it as much as possible and dragged it well to the ending. Having a conversation with Asla was the most difficult.”

The two people proceeded the episode a little differently from Han-bit.
Because there were parts they couldn’t resolve like the relationship with Asla or scroll modification.
Especially communication with a person suffering from anthropophobia was bound to be difficult.
However, the Advance Party was the Advance Party.
They are people who have the ability to create the best results in their own way.

“Ah, I didn’t ask this.”

Han-bit who recalled what he was curious about turned his gaze to Luna.

“How did you clear Peria Island’s quest? It takes a few days.”
“Ah, that?”

She who was walking side by side took out a blue ingot from her inventory.
It was the Ingot of Biting Cold obtained as a reward.
Luna pointed at the pattern drawn on the surface and spoke.

“It was similar to spot the difference you know? So I memorized all the patterns.”
“…All of them?”
“Since it’s the fastest?”

The events that happen at the place Han-bit gave information about are a little confusing.
An ice monument with hundreds of types of pattern designs that appears only when Peria Island’s human traffic becomes sparse.
Finding the pattern that overlaps exactly twice among them is the breakthrough method.
Originally, the standard procedure is to wait for the number of cases to decrease over time.
But to think she resolved it by memorizing it.
Han-bit who inwardly admired handed a proposal.

“If it is alright, would you try commissioning a weapon?”
“A weapon commission… Ah, to Kim Jae-ha-ssi?”

Luna immediately noticed the intention.
Han-bit who nodded his head pointed at the ingot and spoke.

“The Ingot of Biting Cold is an item that can further strengthen the ice attribute. If it’s melted into a sword, you will be able to expect excellent effects.”
“It’s a Rank 6 weapon, are you okay with it? If it fails it will all be damaged.”
“It is fine. Jae-ha hyung will do it for you.”

Han-bit spoke pointing at Kim Jae-ha following behind.
He who was pointed out pointed at himself with an embarrassed face.

“…Are you telling me to forge a Rank 6 weapon?”
“Hyung can do it.”
“I can’t! Even if it’s a hidden skill it’s still Rank 3 Unique. What are you going to do if it goes wrong?”
“It’s fine. Believe in me who believes in hyung.”
“No, what kind of…….”

– Lolllll
– Famous saying ON
– What happens if it fails?
– ???: Who are you?
– Fast cutting off;

Kim Jae-ha is embarrassed but, it is a hardship he must necessarily overcome.
Because his growth will be a huge help to Han-bit.
If he works on a high-ranked weapon, his proficiency will also rise significantly.

‘Goric does not know his eyes are accurate.’

It is understandable that Kim Jae-ha feels anxious.
However, he wasn’t entrusting an impossible task.
The talent acknowledged by Goric and the outstanding ability of Dwarf’s Metallurgy.
If those are added, he can definitely produce good results.

“I can see the trust. Then shall we formally commission it?”

Luna who approached close handily handed over her sword and the Ingot of Biting Cold.
Kim Jae-ha who received it let out a sigh.

“Hah……. I’m really doing this. It’ll be hell if I fail.”
“I will take responsibility. Please don’t worry.”
“Why are you taking that? It’s my responsibility who hammered it.”

At Han-bit’s words, he shook his head with a serious face.
Somehow it also felt like it overlapped with Goric.

“You take care of things like the commission fee. I’ll go do the work right away.”

Kim Jae-ha immediately turned his steps towards Edlen.
A step where enthusiasm seemed to be felt.
Not even a bit of anxiety was felt from the fading back figure.
