The equipment Ibro could use personally were the cloak and ring. The ring would be a perfect fit for him.The cloak was also useful, but it increased Strength and thus, he did not need it.
The most suited class for the cloak would be the sword players. He put the three items into his Inventory and then started reviewing the alerts that came during battle.
Most of them were System Prompts about killing monsters of different levels and grades,and System Prompts for his success in advancing to level 9. This was not strange as he was able to kill two hundred and twenty monsters in this battle alone.
These monsters’ levels ranged from 10 to 15 and their grades were from Elite to Boss monsters. He needed about a million XP until he could upgrade to the tenth level. He distributed his attribute points to Vitality, Intelligence, and Agility as usual, then slowly moved towards his last goal.
Although he managed to kill many monsters, he had not yet destroyed the stronghold. He swiftly moved back towards the stronghold. The stronghold was empty from any monster, as he destroyed all the monsters in the last battle.
He moved towards the wooden gate and pushed it open by force. The stronghold was occupying the whole entrance of the valley. The houses of these monsters inside the stronghold were completely random.
He moved towards the nearest house and pushed his door open to find a complete mess. The bed was in the middle of the room in front of the door and the dining table was on one side of the room.
As for the room itself, it was full of many things scattered around, as if a fight had just taken place here.
Ibro was not surprised by this situation, as the houses of all monsters were characterized by this strange chaos. When you find an organized house in the monsters’ residential area, you must feel suspicious.
He started looking in the house for any valuable things.He found a bunch of copper coins hidden somewhere in that chaos. He left the house and started looking around every house in an orderly fashion. Within an hour, he had almost finished collecting all the monsters’ coins.
What remained was the main house of the boss monster. As soon as he entered it, he found a tall eye-catching stone that glistened faintly. This stone was his primary goal. Before heading towards it, he began to look for any valuable items.
It seemed that these bandits were blocking the trips of the merchants. He found nearly 500 gold coins, in addition to many copper and silver coins. He also found three special items that were invaluable. The first of which was the Guild Creation Stone.
A stone that can establish a Dark Gold grade guild. He knew from the past that the first global game guild would not appear for at least two months from now.Unfortunately, there were not enough players in the Heptian domain; otherwise, the value of this stone would become priceless.
As for the second item, it was part of a treasure map, a treasure map of Skminin-Ra. The map was numbered as a second part out of three. Perhaps it was a treasure map or just like a dungeon map, like that Tutankhamen dungeon key that he had in possession.
The third item was a design on how to make a full set of weapons.All weapons made by this design are level 20, and all of them are silver-grade. If he could find someone to make these weapons for him, it would be a great source of income.
The real gain in the leader house was that stone that stood tall in the middle of the room. He slowly moved towards it, and then placed his right hand over it. A loud bell sounded, accompanied by a soft voice saying,
“System Prompt: Congratulations, the player won Polrad Stronghold. You can choose to capture it, transfer it, or destroy it completely. Which of the options do you want to do?”
“Destroy it completely.”
“System Prompt: Player has completely destroyed Polrad Stronghold. The stronghold is of a silver grade. The Player will get fifty percent of the stronghold resources.
System Prompt: The player got a thousand Gold coins.
System Prompt: Because the player is the first player in the game to destroy a stronghold, you will receive a special reward from the game. To receive this reward, you must announce your achievement to everyone. If you refuse, you will not get the game reward.”
He contemplated for a bit and then decided to announce. If he wanted to protect himself, he should turn himself into a force not to be reckoned with by his enemies. He eagerly anticipated the reward he would get by this announcement.
“Local Announcement: Congratulations to the Heptian player, “Ibro”, for his success in destroying Polrad Stronghold completely. As the first player to destroy a stronghold in the game, he will get a reward of 100 gold coins + 300 reputation points in the city of Memphis.
Regional Announcement: Congratulations to the Heptian player, “Ibro”, for his success in destroying the Polrad Stronghold completely. As the first player to destroy a stronghold in the game, he will get a reward of 1000 gold coins + MANA recovery formula.
Global Announcement: Congratulations to the Heptian player, “Ibro”, for his success in destroying the Polrad Stronghold completely. As the first player to destroy a stronghold in the game, he will receive a reward of 3000 gold coins + 10 world reputation + Village Founding Stone.”
Ibro did not care much about the formula. Despite its importance, he first needs to find an alchemist before he could make it. Now he needed an alchemist and blacksmith!
His list of requirements and things to do are increasing day by day! What he really cared about was the Village Founding Stone, as this was the first time he had heard of such a thing in the game.
“Village Founding Stone: Stone of Platinum grade. A stone that can establish a village anywhere a player desires. If the player is an alliance leader in the game, the village will become part of the alliance, and its features will be shared between both.
If the player is free or affiliated with any rank other than the leadership rank in the guild, then the village will become independent and can be subjected only to player control. As for the rest of the details, the player can explore it himself.”
Ibro observed the stone in his hand. Will this stone give him the opportunity to play in the style of nobles? But what did the explanation mean about the property of a village under a guild?
He also owned the Founding stone of an Epic level guild. Was it better to establish the guild first and then the village or vice versa? His memories this time were not able to help him to make a decision, so he was very confused on what to do.
His frustrations did not last for too long as a bell rang in his ears to warn him of a communication attempt by Oya. He looked at the call in astonishment, how did he forget about her?
Didn’t she build and develop a village until it became a strong kingdom in the past? He quickly pressed the answer button to find Oya in front of him saying in an angry tone,
“I left you for a few minutes and came back to find you buzzing the world with your name! It seems to me that you are someone who is fond of fame!”
