. . .
[Detected player brought out identifiable life form from dungeon, deduct 10,000 Points…]
[Detected player hasn"t formed a contract with an identifiable life form, identifiable life form will cost extra 1000 Points per non-contracted day…]
[Note 1: Non-contracted life form will cost player extra points during entering and exiting dungeon]
[Note 2: Non-contracted life form will not cost points in dungeon world]
. . .
Kieran went over his dungeon clear rating and directly ignored the [Special Reward] section .
After glancing over the points and skill points, his attention was placed at the very end .
"Contract?"
It didn"t come to him as a surprise though . Kieran did see how the loner Raven fought previously . Just that he needed to estimate the price for a contract .
Judging from how expensive the equipment cost for Chosen Ones, his current Points and Skill Points were not sufficient to meet ends because there was another [Dark Nether Stone] waiting to be embedded .
The embedding cost of the [Dark Nether Stone] would surely be more expensive than the previous [Ghastly Sapphire] which had already cost him 300,000 Points . After all, the [Ghastly Sapphire] was just a Rare gemstone and the [Dark Nether Stone] was a Legendary .
At the same time, Kieran still remembered [Wilco"s Grudge] that he gave Lawless to dispel the curse at the curse dispeller .
Even though Lawless said he owed Kieran a debt of grat.i.tude, based on Kieran"s understanding of Lawless, if the process would require any extra fees, Lawless would definitely pay with his own funds .
Kieran then took out the spoils of war from the last dungeon world from the [Crimson Ghost Stomach] .
Two machine guns, two low tier Magic rank items and [Blood Cleaver of Flurry], [Floating Ring] together with some [Repel Potion], and [Conceal Potion] .
Lastly, the box that was unsealed by Art.i.telgar .
Kieran took the box and opened it up .
His game lobby room was definitely the place that set his mind at ease the most, so he opened it up without any hesitation .
Inside the box was a black item the size of a palm . When Kieran took it out of the box, he was surprised that it was a piece of scale .
[Name: Great Swamp Scale]
[Type: Scale]
[Rarity: Legendary]
[Attack: ?]
[Defense: ?]
[Attributes: ?]
[Effect: ?]
[Prerequisite: A Gift from Great Swamp]
[Remark: It isn"t a dragon scale but it has its own magical properties!]
. . .
"Great Swamp Scale?" Kieran muttered softly .
Any extra layer of speculation was added on what Perforation Sting wanted to achieve .
Undoubtedly, the scale didn"t belong to Art.i.telgar, so there was only one explanation left, Art.i.telgar"s father . . . if what Art.i.telgar said was the truth . . .
"A plot revolving around the scale of Art.i.telgar"s father? What could it be?"
Kieran mumbled as he looked towards the description of [City of Fiends II]
[City of Fiends II: Perforation Sting is much more vicious than the rumors had it after you"ve accidentally disrupted their plans, you are treated as a thorn in their side…]
[Main mission: Begins when enters the dungeon!]
"A pursuit for my life?" Kieran wondered .
Though he shook his head quickly .
Even if Perforation Sting did want his life, it would be after [The Queen"s s.h.i.+eld II], [Primordial Invasion II], [The Shaman"s Partner IV] and another normal dungeon run .
Three special dungeons plus one normal dungeon would present Kieran with sufficient strength to keep himself alive . He was confident of that .
At the same time, Kieran realized the pros of a special dungeon once more . Not only would it not add to the normal dungeon count, it would also grant him extra strength to maximize his rewards in a normal dungeon with ease .
Last but not least, the window of breathing!
Without the three special dungeons buffering time, Kieran couldn"t even dare imagine how he would face the G.o.ds in [City of Fiends] .
"Lucky!"
After being fortunate of the breathing window, Kieran was concerned about the problem at hand, which was the lack of required points .
"I must find the contract first, otherwise the Fire Raven will definitely be an infinite abyss . "
Entering and exiting a dungeon would cost Kieran 10,000 Points plus an extra 1000 Points for each day spent without a contract . Even though the Fire Raven would not cost any points inside a dungeon, but as the days acc.u.mulated, it would be a great sum as well .
Once the thought struck him, Kieran felt like his flesh was being sliced open .
He opened up his PM tab and contacted Raven .
. . .
2567: How much points to form a contract with the system identifiable life form?
2567: Have any?
After sending two messages, Kieran was ready for a long wait knowing how Raven"s character behaved . Kieran then opened up his message tab to PM Blacksmith in order to save time .
However, out of Kieran"s expectations, before he could leave a message for Blacksmith, Raven gave him a reply .
Raven: You need a companion contract, cost around 100K Points .
Raven: I don"t have it now, but someone is dealing in Harvest Inn .
. . .
After getting the reply he was looking for, Kieran prepped his items and dashed towards the station after saying thank you .
