?909 So Many Rewards!
-----
The Quest Completion screen appeared in front of all of us. Well, most of us. The rewards distributed varied a lot between each participant, but I think I got the most rewards for… well, obvious reasons. I am Hephaestus Successor after all.
Ding!
[Congratulations! You and your Party have successfully completed the [Trial Quest/World Quest]: [Complete Hephaestus First Smithy's Trial]!]
[Not only have you successfully completed all the requirements, but you've surpassed them! You're not just Planta anymore, you're Planta the Legendary Blacksmith. The worthy and only Successor of Hephaestus, the God of Blacksmiths.]
[The path leading to the Ancient Valley, a forgotten temple that once belonged to the Ancient and Legendary Continent of Cloudia will now open. Once you step into its Core, a fragment of the Truth of this world will be revealed to you and your companions.]
[But be prepared, the Valley has its Ancient Guardians.]
[You received the following Rewards]: [1.000.000.000 EXP] [1.000.000.000 Gold] [Legendary Skill Points Elixir (S+ Grade)] x10 [Legendary Stat Points Elixir (S+ Grade)] x10 [Skill Specialization Marble (SS Grade)] x1 [Subclass Skill Slot +1 Ticket (SS Grade)] x1 [Divine Skill Fusion Ticket (SS Grade)] x1 [Ancient Valley's Entrance Key (Key Item)] x1]
[Accumulated EXP has been saved until you Rank Up.]
First of all, a billion EXP! With that I can get a few more levels once I finally Rank Up. I got two Rank Up options right now, but there's a third one "incomplete" option that I am trying to aim for. But I need some more important items I could probably get soon enough.
But maybe I should just evolve anyways, I should need to first look at the two available options and see what I can get out of the third option. But for now, just looking at the rewards is satisfying enough! A lot of Gold for some reason, and then Skill Points and Stat Points Elixirs.
Also some items I have never seen before, something called "Skill Specialization Marble" or whatever, Subclass Skill Slot Ticket, and then another Ticket but for Divine Skill Fusion? What's the difference between the ticket and then the normal skill fusion?
Lastly, there's a huge, stone key that materialized above my hands, emanating an ancient aura of blue light. It could even float in midair if I left it be…
"This key is most likely what'll bring us inside the Ancient Valley, isn't it?" I wondered, looking at Ignis.
"That's right." He nodded. "It seems that the Trial had it this whole time… See? It wasn't that I couldn't open the way for you! I was also restricted by the Inheritance and how it worked."
"Huh, alright, I guess. Wait, will Rita and my friends get rewards too?" I asked.
"Yes as long as they come back." Ignis nodded. "Now you may enter the Ancient Valley wherever you feel like. My job here is pretty much done… Phew, I'm going to just got take a nap now. I am exhausted."
Ignis slowly rested over the boiling magma surrounding the room, and then disappeared. Probably sleeping n the boiling depths somewhere.
"Well, looks like we're finally done…" Mark said. "But I'm starving, my Satiation is at dangerously low levels. Shall we go eat first before anything?"
"Yeah! Everyone, are you hungry? Let's go upstairs to rest and eat." I called everyone, who quickly agreed and followed from behind. They were all really happy despite how exhausted we felt.
"It's finally done! We can finally go there! Finally!" Acorn was really curious about it. "I want to see what we can find inside of that place! What secrets await!"
"You've gotten rather invested into this whole business, huh?" Johanna only raised an eyebrow. "I have little idea what's going on. And what's even Cloudia?"
"It's an Ancient Continent where the oldest tribes once lived." Explained Brisingra. "It is where I think my mother might have originated from… She belonged to an organization known as the Keepers of Time. The Ancient Elves were powerful beings capable of wielding Time itself."
"W-What? Wow, I had no idea…" Johanna was shocked. "I thought Elves were just stuck-up idiots that loved preaching about loving nature but doing very little to actually commute with it unlike us Druids."
"Those are the other Elves, well, there are too many out there that they became as common as humans at one point." Ambil suddenly commented.
"I've meet Fairies before and even Druids, but now that I think about it, Elves are just wandering around. Are there not just like a Kingdom of Elves nearby? I know there's the Verdant Continent Kingdom Alliance too." I said, reaching the kitchen.
"Well yes, there's a few small ones and the big one." Said Ambil. "To the far east there's a Kingdom of Wintear, governed by a family of Royal Ice Elves. They have mostly humans and half-
elves as subjects. Dislike dwarves despite their mountains being so rich in resources… This family is, as you might have guessed it, the Royal Magician Family of Wintear, they're all descendants of an Ancient Frost Witch. They're mostly neutral and part of the alliance but… Dislike outsiders and are quite aggressive when it comes to defending their territory from outsiders entering without permission."
"Huh… Alright." I nodded. "And the others?"
"There's the small City States of Evergreen and Treebark, which could be considered their own Kingdoms but also belong to the big Elven Kingdom in this Continent. And that's the Sacred Elven Queendom of Eterna. It is where every "fancy elf" will come from. That place's full of Magical Academies, and it is where magic and alchemy is researched the most." Ambil said. "Our Magician Guild and the Magician Tower is pretty big in the continent, but nothing compared to the Magical Academies of Eterna."
"Magical Academies… That does sound a bit dreamy in a way." I said while thinking about that. "I wonder, if that's a Queendom, it is governed by a Queen?"
"Yes, from what I've heard about that place from some Elf Clients I had long ago, their Queen was an Ancient Elf that had lived for thousands of years or something." Ambil dropped a bomb out of nowhere.
"Wait, an Ancient Elf?! Alive?!" I gasped. "Why didn't you tell us that before?!"
"Eh? Huh? Were you looking for Ancient Elves that badly?!" Ambil muttered.
