FLFO Chapter 73 Fourth Northeast Area, Val Owasse

I get up in the morning and go to collect the weekday consignment sales.

Jerky, hot dogs, onion gratin soup, talismans and magic clay. And attribute metals for Ertz-san.

After deducting the commission for the consignment, I made a total of 6.74 million, which is a great profit for 5 days. It was easy to earn back the cost of the facilities. Jerky and hot dogs are very efficient.

I think Ive bought the essential level of facilities for now, so Ill ask Nephrite-san for some accessories.

After that, Id like to ask Dantel-san for some blindfold equipment.

Im going to log out and have some breakfast.

Then I log back in for the morning.

While I was eating, I started to wonder.what would happen if I closed my eyes in the character creation, in this game.

I sit down on a bench in the central square and do a search on the BBS.

It is possible to set the eyes anywhere from normal to closed, in the options. In this case you can also set sight to display as normal, or reduce visibility as would be appropriate. .The former is recommended for characters with closed or slit eyes, unless you want to play as a character with restricted sight.

So thats how it is. Closed-eye characters and slit-eye characters are popular, to a certain extent. However, without normal vision you wont be able to do it. Thats what the settings are for.

It is possible to open your eyes if you are conscious of it, so the darkness of the abnormal state is usually applied in both settings. So said the management.

If I use this, I dont need a blindfold. But it will cost a little in real money to edit the character.

If I have a blindfold made for an accessory slot the increase in status is not bad, but. it seems like it might be annoying and cause visual problems?

Dantel-san is there. It would be quicker to talk to the creator.

Oh? Hello Princess

Good morning. I have something to consult on.

Thats unusual. What is it?

Can you make accessories such as blindfolds and eye masks?

HmmWell, its possible.

Having a blindfold is important to my skills. Should I use a blindfold, or make changes in the character creator? Im unable to decide.

Hmm Papillon mask like a phantom thief? It would be possible if I wanted to make that, but the problem is how to fasten it?

Isnt that part of the system?

If it has a structure that can be fastened, it works, but if not, it doesnt work. Its impossible to have it floating. Or rather, it seems that you can, but my skill level is not sufficient. It may be an extra or tertiary skill.

Mmm I thought Id fill up the accessory slots. It would be nice if it blocked my sight, but what about in terms of design?

He looks at me from below, and asks me to turn around, so I do.

Hmm the easiest thing to do is to cover your eyes and tie it behind like a headband, but then you have to change your hairstyle. It might be too hard to adjust for your current outfit.

My hair is held at the back with a crystal lotus clasp

Ahcan you get the effect you want with glasses?

I accept the glasses and fold the cloth around the lenses, but its not great.

It works, but not as well as I would like.

It doesnt work as well as you need Then youd have to use goggles or something. That certainly wouldnt look rightAnd it would be dumb to wear eye patches on both eyes

I try various things with Dantel-san, but none of them seem to work quite right.

Anyway, dont you also have to think about being able to remove it? If switching is also important, character creation might be the way to go after all.

Ah Ill go borrow Primula-sans test range for a bit.

Okay,

Certainly, its still fine if its just a pair of glasses or similar, but if its wrapped type it might be trouble.

For the time being, I leave Dantel-sans shop and enter the nearby Primula-sans shop, and from there I went to the test firing site.

I can see the distance here. You can tell the distance by the position of the target in the range.

As a result, I understood a lot.

Firstly, the Silver Key has a 2x correction. And closing my eyes is 1.5 times.

In its base form, I am 23 metres from the target. Its a sphere around me, so its a radius. Doubled, the diameter is 46 metres. And my Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion is currently at level 23.

If I equip the silver key, I am 46 metres from the target. The diameter is 92 metres.

And if I close my eyes, I am 69 metres from the target. The diameter is 138 meters.

As far as I can see from the BBS, the short bow has a 40 metre range. 50 metres for longbows. The Japanese bow is 60 metres.

In other words, I am outside the range for direct shooting. The problem is that when it comes to curved shots, the range is 120, 160 and 200 metres, so they are in range.

However, with the indirect firingthere is little margin for error, so for now it should be okay.

Other than the curved shot, there is the mechanical bow. The crossbow. The direct fire range of this is 100 metres. However, from 50 metres onwards, there seems to be a reduction in power and hit rate. It seems that it is difficult to aim, and the sound is annoying, but it seems to be strong at short distances.

The range of magic is different depending on the magic, so its hard to judge, but basically its about the same as a longbow.

Id like to see 100 metres. Would it be dangerous to accessorize until then?

If I dont close my eyes, the longbow and Japanese bow will be outside my range, which is not good. If the skill level is equal to the radius, I have to get it to 30 before the tournament. Then I should have a radius of 60 metres with just the Silver Key.

The ideal is 33 66, 1.5 Then, its still a step short. So 34.

In other wordsits not suitable to prepare equipment, because it is necessary to switch.

Lets contact Dantel-san.

After testing, it turned out that switching seems to be necessary.

Right. Well, I guess well see. You can come back if you need anything else.

Ill do that. Im off to Nephrite-sans shop.

Okay, see you.

I leave Primula-sans shop and head to Nephrite-sans shop this time.

Nephrite-sans shop is stylish, isnt it? Shes a Handicraft producer, so to put it simply, its an accessory store. It could also be a jewellers shop, but basically it doesnt sell unaltered jewels.

In terms of the games equipment, it is an accessory shop. A shop that sells accessories such as necklaces, earrings, rings and bangles.

Nephrite-san isworking next to the shopkeeper.

Hmmm, a set of teacups and saucers. Small items for housing I want some. The [Tableware] of Cook is nothing more than a container made with magical power, so there is no design.

I pick up one with a blue pattern on a stable white background, and check it out. It is very authentic. Its not that expensive, so I may aswell buy it. Mm, there are also teacups made of magic clay? Obviously there is a difference in price.

Oh, good morning Princess

Good morning, Nephrite-san. Have you finished the work?

When Im in the store, its like a pre-processing, so I can stop at any time.

I see. Is this tableware also a Handicraft creation?

Its a collaboration. Someone else makes the shapes, I add the patterns and the person who made them bakes them.

This one looks like its made of my magic clay

He said he was buying and he said he wanted more.

Magic clay has a rather low priority

The price is reasonable, but few people use it. In which case it would be better to make resurrection potions

I will buy the one made with magic clay for now. Its 20,000, then. 10,000 for the clay, and the rest divided among other items.

Thank you.

By the way, I came to buy accessories.

Oh, that was why. What status, shape, and jewels do you want?

A ring, I think. Id say light and dark, in the areas of dexterity, strength, intelligence and spirit.

HmmLike this?

[Equipment / Decoration] Hematite Ring Rare: Ra Quality: B + Durability: 140

A ring with a large, carefully cut piece of hematite.

Strengthens the wearers intellect.

Created by: Nephrite

Appraisal Lv10

MDEF:

Appraisal Lv20

Increased Intelligence: Medium

Dark Magic Enhancement: Medium

Dark Magic Resistance: Medium

Darkness Resistance: Medium

Huh? strong. OhBut the defense power is higher in the Protection set.

There are also rings that do not have jewels, but they grant no magical enhancement. In other words, the price difference is amazing.

How many do you need?

There are still 7 slots available.

That many. It would be a fair amount of money

I earned a lot with crafting, so there is no problem. 2m is enough, right?

For seven piecesIt would be about 1.8? If you provide the gems, then 1.4

1.4 million if I bring some in. Shall I sell a little? To be honest, we need Magic Iron more than gems.

Id like 2 dexterity, 1 strength, 2 intelligence and 2 spirit. The gems are. 4 Celestite and 3 Hematite.

Dark magic is also enhanced by the race, and above all, darkness resistance is meaningless for me, who absorbs darkness. In that case, I should prioritize light resistance, which is equally important.

I sacrifice 4 celestite and 3 hematite and buy the 7 rings for 1.4 million.

I will equip them immediately, then do exactly what the game suggests. That is I will smash the eyeball marks next to the equipment slots. Then the ring on my finger disappears and will no longer get in the way.

You can use this if you dont like the look of the equipment or if it doesnt match the look of your other equipment. Invisible, but the effect is still in effect because it is equipped.

This function is for accessories only. Of course, it cannot be used for weapons or shields, nor can it be used for any of the armour parts. For that you need to use the avatar tab.

I was able to equip the slots that were previously empty, so this should be a good improvement.

After that, my back and cloak are still empty, butthese two are fine for now

Oh, thats right. I was going to buy a bag for the workers.

Im off to Dantel-sans shop now.

Thanks a lot. Its not very durable, but bring it in for repair before it breaks.

Ill be careful.

After leaving Nephrite-sans fashionable shop, I head to Dantel-sans shop again.

Oh? Youve come again. What happened?

I was going to buy a bag for workers. I forgot.

Worker Oh, that.

Dantel-san shows me the storage options.

Backpack. Handbag. Waist pouch. As for the capacity, it is a pouch < handbag < backpack.

To be honest, it seems that the handbags, with which you cant carry weapons, are rubbish.

The backpack is more stable.

Ill take this one. A backpack.

Dare I ask it.

Its for the bones to wear on their back.

I buy 10 backpacks for 30,000, equip them to my workers and summon them.

Its kind of surreal, huh.

Well this will make it easier for them to collect things, so its good.

If I put my hand in the workers basket it displays a UI with 10 item slots.

Oh, so this has [Inventory Control] aswell.

Spacial Magic, huh.

Oh? Mm.?

Whats up?

There is an option called inventory sharing, so I will push it.

The Silver Key floats up from my waist, stabs into the open space of the workers backpack, and turns to openThen the key warps back to my waist.

What..?

I see this backpack is also a shortcut to my inventory.

What? Spatial Magic? Or the effect of the Silver Key?

Probably both. I think its a combination of [Inventory Control] and the Silver Key.

MmmThe epitome of an artifact

Like my belt pouch, the workers backpack is also a shortcut.

Because of the sharing, my inventory expands by the 10 slots of the backpack, and when the worker puts items into the backpack, they go directly into my inventory. Thats great.

If I equip some elsewhere and share it, the number of inventory slots will increaseBut I am no longer troubled for inventory space. [Inventory Expansion] is not necessary any more. I no longer need to use it constantly to get experience in Spatial Magic either.

In the first place, my inventory was so full because of ingredients. Once I became able to store them in the kits, the problem was solved.

So there is no need to increase it further just to have it Workers will suffice.

I have empty back and cloak slots, what can I do about them?

Back and cloak The biggest problem is the dress. The back is usually a backpack. The cloak is cold-resistant, so its recommended in bad weather Does it even matter to Immortals?

Environmental damage is irrelevant after evolving

I think its okay if you dont have them. If you want it, maybe a shawl or a stole. I will likely be making them for those ladies There was something in the update info about changing the weather.

Ellie and Abbie seem to need it.

I do remember reading something about making the weather change more frequently That would be more interesting, but it would also require more countermeasures.

[Ensol] is gone Is it possible to come up with something using Spatial Magic? Well, if the weather turns, I can think about it while testing things.

I dont seem to have anything else I need to buy, so Im leaving Dantel-sans shop.

Its a bit early, but I think Ill have lunch. And prepare for the afternoon.

After lunch, when I log in, I go to the character creator instead of the world, set my eyes closed as the default, and then connect to the world.

Yeah, its all right. The range has increased and I need to be very aware of it to open my eyes. As long as my eyes dont open when Im startled or something, Im fine. This seems to be good.

Perhaps the most efficient way to raise Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion is to stay in town and use it for observation.?

There are many people in the central square of the Starting Town. Is this the best place to make use of it? It should be a good place to get experience. Lets improve the skill here until its a good stopping point.

Onee-chan, what are you doing?

Onee-chan is improving her skills now.

Here?

Yeah, I thought this would be a good place to start. I want to get it up to a certain level before the sports festival.

Sensing?

Its a rare skill Ive learned, I closed my eyes to make the most of it.

Seriously.

You could consider it sensing or perception. This is a good way to make the most of either Sensing or Detection skills.

Basically, its human visual information, but I think the snake types have a heat source sensing system. Spatial Awareness Ability Expansion may be closer to the minds eye.

Well, its a rare skill, so its a secret.

Onee-chan, what about lunch?

Ive already eaten. Im going hunting with Ske-san and Alf-san in the afternoon, aiming for the fourth.

Where?

Felforge.

Northeast..

Alf-san is in Felforge. Is Ske-san not on yet? I still have time, so Ill work on improving my skills a little more.

My sister logged out to eat.

Oh, it went up.

I check in Primula-sans shop and it looks like the skill level is good for the radius as it is.

Now, with the Silver Key, off to the central square of Felforge.

Hi, Princess.

Hello, Alf-san.

Alf-san met me as I arrived.

He called for Ske-san, and were good to go.

Hey Hey!

Okay, lets go.

As Alf-san has a horse, Ske-san and I summon horses instead of wyverns.

The fourth area is reached by following a diagonal path from Felforge to the upper right. North and east of Felforge are mountains, so well take the lowered area between them as a path.

The undead horses are very good. They have no concept of stamina, so they can always maintain their top speed. Canter and gallop.were the terms.

HoweverIn this map, the enemies are golems. Well, that means..your opponent will always be chasing you at top speed, too.

The golem riders are coming after me.

Theyre chasing us

Its slow and I can shake it off. If theres someone in front of me, Ill kill them.

The Iron Golem Rider is a golem riding a golem vehicle. The vehicle is closer to a dog and the upper part is more human.

Since its a golem, was it necessary to combine them?

Couldnt it have been a golem like the centaur?

That would have been weaker than the centaur, and I think it was deliberate.

Surely it could have been. a deliberate attempt to create a flaw?

There are also gargoyles and iron wolves, but none of them seem to be able to keep up.

The Iron Wolf is the tricky one. Its a wolf with hair as hard as iron. It is also iron-like in colour. Its an animal, so its fast, but it has stamina.

Golems are heavy and slow, but have no stamina.

There is no problem like this, and it seems that we can make it to the fourth area.

Kuku, Huhahahaha, Hahahaha! Im the fastest!

Were running side by side.

Kuku, Huhahahaha, Hahahaha! We are the fastest!

Dont start over!

Its a three-stage laugh. Its mainly for villains, butmaybe it suits you ? Its a lich after all. Its bones.

Oh, the fourth soon

I dont have any information about the enemy yet. It seems that the iron has changed to steel, but thats all I know.

So iron has turned to steel. If the speed doesnt change, we can still shake them off.

Its been a while since we started racing up and down busy mountain roads, some uphill, some downhill. Entering the fourth area, I glanced at the 3D map in my brain to detect the enemy. As Alf-san says, its a steel type.

Im not sure what the colour or quality is yet, to be honest, but skills that require you to see, such as Identification, work. If you know the name and the shape, you can guess the colour and the quality. I dont know if there is a magic eye in this game, but Im a bit curious.

The enemies range in level from 42 to 45, and include the Murder Gargoyle, Steel Golem Rider and Steel Golem Wolf.

The only one Im not sure about is the Murder Gargoyle, so Ill check it out with my eyes. It has a single-edged, lightly warped, one-handed sword. I think its a butcher knife that has been enlarged to the level of a one-handed sword. I suppose thats where the Murder comes from. It looks ready to kill. The body is a larger version of the.goblin, with a stone-like quality and wings.

In other words

Its not very cool, is itThat gargoyle.

Hey

Yeah. Its a bit too realisticIts not very dream filled?

Thats right. Is there no romance?

Its not a very exciting appearance.

The Steel Golem Wolf is a wolf-shaped steel golem. Its not a creature at all.

But the guy who came to investigate said he died suddenly. They dont know why, so be careful.

Okay~

Alright.

After a while of riding on the same old mountain road, I spotted the enemy in the sky on my 3D map.

And then Sensing Danger activates, and the 3D map shows the predicted route.

Its a great advantage, because with only visual information you can only see what you can see. In other words, if it is diagonally above, in the skyIf it is not in your field of view, Sensing Danger will not trigger, but it may still be detected with Intuition. Its quite convenient to take both of these skills, as they cover each other.

A surprise attack from the sky. Its pretty fast The enemy is a Sky Golem.

The instructions are quick and concise.

Above! Spread out!

Mmm !?

Sensing Danger works only if you are the target or you are in range of an area attack. In regards to the others in the partyit is mainly the job of Intuition. The essence of Intuition is the strengthening or expansion of other skills.

Since I noticed, they should now see the line aiming at me. They immediately spread out to avoid me, who was leading in the triangle, and I slow down sharply. Its impossible to accelerate to avoid the attack because Im always at top speed.

The timing is off because of the deceleration, and the Sky Golem blasts into the ground in front of me.. and crashing, to be frank?

The ground and dust have scattered about. I cant see it with my eyes, so I use the 3D map in my brain to keep an eye on it, but its not moving, is it? I try to attack with a lance, but it seems to hit normally.

It looks like its stunned after the surprise attack.

Isnt it moving?

Its not moving

[Noxplode]!

Ske-sans explosion hits, and the air clears up.

The Sky Golem appears to have its feet buried in the ground and its wings stuck in the ground. It moves its wings, pulls them out of the ground. Is it trying to fly?

Of course its not going to get to fly.

Oh, it started to move. Stun of about 6 seconds? Thats quite a long time.

Ooh! The Sky Golem is cool!

Ske-san is continuing to fire magic at it, even while proclaiming its coolness.

It flaps its wings and pulls its feet out of the ground, rising back to the surface. But then Alf-san knocks it back down with his two-handed sword.

Good!

Once it is knocked down, it is quickly defeated by the magic of myself and Ske-san.

I absorb it and we continue our journey.

The Sky Golem is probably steel in colour. The size of the body is about the size of a child, and the characteristic feature is the wings. The wings are gently curved, and there are three swords hanging from each wing. The silhouette was slender, but very sharp in places, and the legs were like those of a hawk.

A surprise attack from the sky seems to thrust the swords of the legs and wings, using the weight and descent speed of the steel body.

I wonder if the surprise falling attack was the cause of the instant death of the informant on the BBS.

I think thats probably it. Its a special attack using the swords on both its wings and feet.

If it came to me, Id die~.

I think its hard for me too, in the current situation. Its difficult to prevent an attack from that angle

Is that ground explosion just an effect, or is it really that powerful?

Its probably a scout type, but its so powerful that it killed everyone who came this far instantly. Ske-san would definitely die.

I want a body too, isnt it cool~?

If you run, theyll come to you anyway.

Im sure they will

Whether Ill use it or not is another story!

Well, cool does not equal strong

Even if you want to use the same move When summoned, it is not metal, so the weight difference will mean it is not as powerful, right?

Hmm, did you come after all?

Its coming from above!

Slow down again, and let it drop to the front. Then use [Magic Amplification] and [Six-Fold Chanting] to fire the magic.

Ske-san uses [Nox Explosion] to blow away the cloud of dirt and then switches to single magic.

After seeing that Ske-san has blown away the dirt, Alf-san rides over and swings his two-handed sword as hard as he can. Of course, using Arts.

We know that the stun is long right after the fall. There is no option not to beat it. We just have to crush it before it takes off.

Ske-san takes in the defeated Sky Golem, and we resume our trip again.

Steel Tortoise, Steel Golem, and Sky Golem are around the town.

The Steel Tortoise is about the size of a human child, and its shell is made of steel. Does it drop iron ore? If so, it might be better to hunt the Iron Tortoise.

The Steel Golem is a nearly 3 metre long block of steel. They are not jointed, and each part of the golem floats in isolation. Well, odd as it is, the magical creatures themselves, including us Immortals, are mysterious creatures.

Its a fantasy.

We go to the town, while crushing occasional falling Sky Golem.

Hmm. Beating golems with a sword is a bit much

Is durability decreasing quickly?

If you swing it badly, it can break, so theres a lot of pressure.. Well, its a two-handed sword, so its durable enough.

Ill laugh if it breaks!

Hahahaha, youre crazy.

Ske-san is a pure caster. Even if my blade is broken, there is no problem if I make it again.

The only problem was the servants, but fortunately the equipment problem has been solved and they can all use the mace. Well manage. Ohdid I forget to tell Ske-san?

By the way, Ske-san, have you been to the library?

No?

Oh, so you dont have this one

Hmm?

If you read A Study of the Mysteries of the Dead and the Coffin of Dreams, you will have [Coffin of Dreams], [Ephemeral Doll] and [Ephemeral Radiance] unlock for Necromantic Secrets. And you will also be able to summon spirits.

What~!

Our sage is not very reliable, is he?

Peh.

Oops.

The library is pretty important in this game, isnt it? Knowledge is a weapon, Aniki. But you have to be smart enough to use it.

Anyway, should Ske-san take the time to read the book when we arrive at Val Owasse? The dolls wont have a turn yet, but the equipment is convenient.

Oh, the gate is coming into view.

Its quite tough, isnt it?

Is it tough? They need at least that much defense.

Tortoise aside, there are steel golems and sky golems~?

You would need a wall suitable for the surrounding enemies. It would be a waste of money and materials to make a wall that would be destroyed immediately

Oh? Theres a ballista.

If its not something unique, thats right

The golems are a big target, so it isnt bad? It looks hard to hit the Sky Golems though

Would you have to wait for them to land before using the ballista?

Will it work if you get a line of sight? Is the accuracy of a ballista good enough?

I mean, theyve got skills, so they should be pretty accurate, right?

There is too little information

Well speak of the devil.

When the gate is just a short distance away another Sky Golem comes falling down, so we smash it down and head for the gate as if nothing had happened.

Good day, Im an Immortal Outsider. Can I enter?

You must be quite good to get here. Welcome. Welcome to Val Owasse. If you keep going straight, you will find the main facilities.

Understood.

They do not move a muscle when a Sky Golem falls. As expected of the locals. It must be a usual thing.

We follow the main street straight to the central square as we were told. The first thing to do, of course, is to open the portal. Now its possible to transfer. We send Ske-san off and Alf-san and I take a break.

The number of dwarven Residents has increased considerably.

It seems to be a dwarven country. Are the buildings all made of stone?

Fire prevention, maybe. Or.is it just that its easier to get stone here.

It could be a lot of stone is collected while mining

But I thought thered be a lot of smoke coming from the workshops.

Thats what I thought. Is the amount of smoke coming from the houses too small? I think its much darker too.

Is there a small amount of impurities? The first thing that comes to mind is something like a magic furnace.

Thats right. Its a fantasy, its got magic as its main fuel, so theres no soot?

Should I say that it is better for the environment than coke?

It seems that its not just magical power, but I wonder if there is something.

Well, blacksmithing isnt really my thing, so Im sure Ertz-san will do his best..

Its a stone town with a medieval feel. Well, its a fantasy, so its medieval-like. Its nice when it looks like this. If it was a faithful reproduction with all the dirt included, it would be a bit ridiculous, wouldnt it? I dont know if I would want to play that game.

Or rather, it wont be that dirty in a magical world. There is the very good lifestyle magic [Washing], and you can easily get water. It easily crushes the conditions for it to be filthy

In a world where there is a huge difference in magic, it would be unnatural to have the same development. You can say that it is natural to be different.

Sorry~ Did you wait~?

Shut up. You know what you look like.

Human bones.

So, what do we do now?

East fourth or dungeon?

Or go to the Union to gather information on the dungeon?

Oh, there may be a collection or subjugation quest. Id like to know the level range too.

I think we should go to the Union.

Lets do it.

All right.

Lets go to the Adventurers Union first to gather information.
