ACT 9 Legend of the Unicorn

Is there really no way?

Of course not.

The magician replied.For more than 10 minutes, the magician didnt bother blinking. Ark looked at the bag lying on the table with pained eyes.It was the second material required for Slimes Immortality Pill.It was the Corrupted Fairy Wings.After he had finished collecting all the teeth of the hook bat, he wandered around the Argus Mountains looking for the corrupted fairy wings. The Monster Book had written that they were very rarely found in the Argus Mountains. However, he couldnt find it even after a few days.After going around hunting monsters for a few days, Ark accidentally discovered information about the corrupted fairy wings.

The corrupted fairy wings? Lets see? Well I dont know what to say. Oh, you should go see the magician Madusein. He might know.

Madusein?

He is a magician that moved here before it became empty. He has a store that sells magic ingredients near the village entrance. The store is arranged in such a way that merchants have difficulty travelling there..I cant understand that friend at all.

Galen had introduced him to the magic ingredients store.Madusein was a grey haired magician.He didnt set up the store to make money, but as a quiet place to work when settlers came to Lancel Village. Anyway, he asked Madusein again who laughed and replied.

It would just head towards the ground. It isnt easy to obtain the corrupted fairy wings. Every few months, the fairies would have a ceremony where they shed their old bodies and changed into a new one. It is like a snake shedding its skin. Then wings that would fall out are known as the corrupted fairy wings.

Then it would just fall onto the ground?

Thats right. There are quite a few fairies alive in the Argus Mountains.

Thank you.

Ark quickly gave a greeting as he was about to leave.

Are you going to search the bare ground?

Yes?

Have you ever seen a fairy? You havent seen it? Dont you find it strange that youve been living in the Argus Mountains and havent even caught a glimpse of one?

Thats right.

Ark nodded with a confused expression.Come to think of it, there havent been many places in the Argus Mountains that he hadnt explored. However, he never saw any corrupted fairy wings let alone a fairy.Madusein clicked his tongue and continued talking.

The fairies are different. The fairy can travel between this dimension and other dimensions. It might not even exist in this world. Do you understand? Naturally if the skin falls, it would fall in the other dimension. You will require very special skills to obtain it. Just like me.

Madusein rummaged through a shelf before putting one bag on the table.It was the Corrupted Fairy Wings. His intention was to force Ark who had no special skills to obtain it, to buy it from the store.Although he could wander around the mountains looking for it, it might be better to buy it off him. However, Ark became dizzy the moment he heard the price.

3 gold each. You said you needed 100? Then that would be 300 gold.

300 gold! The prize money from the Evil Silrion was only 100 gold and the amount of money he won betting was 100 gold. He had also obtained 100 gold from hunting in the Argus Mountains. It was as if Madusein intentionally named the price of his entire fortune, which made him angry.Then Ark spoke without considering.

Ill search for it using my own power.

Okay.

Ark frantically wandered the Argus Mountains after that. But like Madusein said, special skills were required. After a couple of days, Ark eventually found himself back in Maduseins store. Even though he tried to decrease it by even 1 copper, Madusein didnt budge.

I heard that you didnt run this business to make money?

It also isnt good to suffer a loss in merchandise when running a business.

As expected, it wasnt easy talking to magicians.Besides, he wasnt an original native like Galen and was an NPC that had only recently immigrated here. There was no intimacy with him.In the end, Ark had to purchase the ingredients while crying tears of blood.

Damn, it isnt possible to give up after gathering all those fangs

After all the money he invested in the Slimes Immortality Pill, if the item wasnt worth it then he would die. However, it also made him think again.The ingredients were worth 300 gold.Then of course the stuff would have value.With those expectations, he eventually decided to buy the item.

Yes, this is an investment. Anyway, once Sid organizes the items and returns I will have a lot of money again. It isnt necessary to worry about 300 gold. In order to earn a lot of money, the investment amount has to be big too. It is common sense that a larger investment would mean more profit.

Arkif he didnt think like that then he wouldnt have been able to endure it.

Anyway, I have the corrupted fairy wings now.there are only two ingredients left?
