Is this really a Game?!

199 Wolf's Minor Problem

It was early in the afternoon when Reign and the others were having breakfast, they had sold the rank A claws yesterday to Cameron's team, their 4th member was coincidentally a claw user and the weapon would greatly increase his power, they banded their money together and bought it for 6 000 S Coins which was, to be honest, a bargain for such a weapon. Reign and the others would always sell the items for cheap as their goal was to earn some money while improving the strength of the other squads, they didn't really have a great need for money anyway, except for the portal they were going to build.

The elves had previously given them a communication tool that was similar to the stone that Magokur gave them previously, they finally received a call after breakfast. The elves had gathered all the materials and they were ready to proceed with the construction of the portal, Reign and the others had enough money so they hurried to get out of the building and the city. They planned on creating the portal next to the one that led towards the castle, both of the portals would be outside of the city, of course as more and more people joined them the bigger the city would become, one day perhaps the portals would be located inside of it.

Reign and the others had previously told people that they had become allies with the elves, everyone already knew about that since they were part of the territory and as such, they also got the notification, but learned a bit more about why and how they became allies would only be beneficial so Reign made sure to spread the word. Now Reign was using the speakers that were installed in the city, even though their main purpose was to act as an alarm if they got attacked, the speakers could also function as simply speakers so Reign used them to tell everyone that a portal was going to be built and that it was going to connect them to the elven territory, the craftsmen were the most excited for the occasion, they had learned previously that the elves had great craftsmen amongst them and that they would get an opportunity to learn from them.

Upon reaching the portal Reign contacted the elves, "We're ready."

"Great, let's start." A voice says from the crystal as a notification popped up.

[ Your elven allies wish to create a portal to connect your two territories, the cost will be 30 000 S Coins ]

[ Y / N ]

Reign accepted the portal construction request as he could see 30 000 S Coins disappear from his inventory, the others had all given him 5 000 S Coins each and now each one of them had about 2 000 left.

A blue ball suddenly showed up in front of Reign as a stand could be seen rising from the ground, differently from the portal that connected the castle and their territory this one had to have a structure that kept it in place. A wooden floor rose from the ground as two large green leaves were present on each side, the leaves suddenly move as they bend and create a circular opening between them. The blue ball was floating in the middle of it and soon it started expanding, it expanded until it was able to touch the leaves, upon doing so it stabilized before swirling.

In a matter of seconds, the portal was finished and a couple of elves suddenly came out, Reign and the others recognized them as the ones they had talked to previously about the alliance details. Cheers could be heard behind them as most of the players in the city had gone out to see the new portal being made, the elves were clearly not expecting such a sight and they looked a bit taken aback.

Soon however they smiled before slightly bowing to the crowd and shaking hands with Reign and the others. Both sides had already done preparations for their alliance, Reign made sure to leave a part of the city empty for the elves to inhabit while the elves did the same in their territory. Of course, first, the elves would arrive at them, their low-level players would use the territory as their base, since the city was still a bit dangerous they would start by going to the castle and entering the newbie forest in the beginning, only later would they start fighting in the town and the surrounding area.

Their craftsmen were of a higher level compared to Reign's so they were also arriving first, both sides were going to share their different craftsmanship techniques and since the elves were the dominant side it would take them less time to learn, thus they were coming first since learning crafting the same way that the humans did would allow them to help them understand their elven craftsmanship better.

Since the elves didn't have a big number of monsters present near them they of course didn't manage to get enough weapons for their troops, even the corpses that the soldiers would bring back were insufficient to arm them. Luckily for them Reign and the others had a plethora of low-ranking items that they would give them, they wouldn't earn a lot from selling them so why not use the items to increase the trust that the elves had for them.

They made sure that all of the elves were present before showing them around, the elves were a bit taken aback by how the people of the city looked at them, little kids pointing at them as they called their parents, people glancing at them from time to time before speaking to each other. It was all a new experience to them, they had previously heard that the people here had never seen elves before and that they should be ready for something like this to happen.

After showing them around the city the next stop was the castle. After going through the portal a big part of the elves fell down on their knees and vomited, the feeling of teleporting was simply too overwhelming the first time, even after being warned by Reign and the others they were still surprised greatly by it. Seeing the castle and the walls that protected it the elves were quite surprised, the soldiers came to them with Jack as they took from Reign and the others while showing them the different shops and buildings that could be found in the safe zone.

Wolf, on the other hand, was going towards Adrian, since they took over the territory they had fought a large number of enemies and they had gone to the old blacksmith multiple times to either forge new items or to change their present ones. Wolf was one of the two people in the squad that still didn't have a rank A weapon, Laura's ability made it so that she didn't really need to deal any large damage, she was their healer so they didn't expect her to go above and beyond to kill enemies. Still, she was truly one of a kind, for a healer to possess as much destructive power as she does is definitely not normal.

He had gone to Adrian multiple times in the past, but the answer was always the same, he can create items of up to rank B without materials, if they wanted him to make rank A or better items they would need to give him high-quality materials in order for him to make it. For Wolf, it was a bit different his sword was made from high-quality materials and Adrian was certain that he could rank it up if he had one high-grade material.

[ Behemoth Heart ]

[ Behemoth Bones ]

[ Behemoth Mana Core ]

[ Behemoth Horns ]

[ Behemoth Bone Plates ]

Wolf took all the items they had managed to get from the behemoth and shows them to Adrian who looks at them in marvel.

"A Behemoth, you crazy bastards took one down?"

Wolf nods to his question as the latter inspects all the materials before nodding slightly, "It should be enough."

"Now tell me, do you want the blade to keep the same skill, or do you want to change it?"

"Huh?"

"Don't huh me boy, the materials from the behemoth will make the sword a bit heavier, but I can still keep the skill for you so you can change the weight, of course, because of that you will lose the chance of having a powerful skill in the sword, with a fang of a dragon and a behemoths bones and mana core I am certain that the skill will be definitely powerful, but it's up to you kid."

"I understand." Wolf nods before stopping for a bit, he thinks about what to do, to be honest, he wasn't even using the swords ability that often anymore, his strength was more than enough to swing it at 40kg now and anything lower than 15 was as light as a feather for him during a fight.

On the other hand, a rank A weapon would probably be able to grow as heavy as 100kg, probably, even more, the power he would have with a weapon that was that heavy would be amazing.

"Do you have a recommendation?"

"You already know my answer kid, it's the same one I gave you the last time you asked, the ability of the sword is fine, but that's it, it's only fine, it's a bit above average, you should be happy that you can get a new one."

"I know, it's just that I got used to it."

"Listen, kid, rank A is as far as this sword can go, sooner or later you will have to change it, I suggest you get used to another skill right now, do you know how lucky you and your friends are anyway, usually people will use rank C and B weapons for a very long time, they will reinforce them to +9 before trying to evolve them, you guys on the other hand simply got new items every week."

Wolf smiles slightly at Adrian, he knew that they were beyond being called irregulars, even now the average weapon used by the players in the city was C, something they had gone above a long time ago.

"So, you made up your mind?" Adrian asks Wolf

"Yes."
