I Became a Gallery Newbie Beloved by Transcendents

Chapter 35

Hard difficulty 65th floor.

Hard difficulty tower numbering # 35.

Targon, the guild leader of the Conquest Union Guild, looked at raid captain Bellasia who was approaching him.

“Bellasia, if the Vertex bastards are coming at us, they’re not even worth our attention. They just don’t know their place and are rushing in. What we need to focus on now is completely conquering the 66th floor.”

The blonde man stared at Bellasia with unwavering eyes.

“All the constellations of this tower… wish for our victory.”

Bellasia nodded at Targon’s words.

“I also heard from the Judge with a Thousand Eyes that they’re cheering for us.”

[‘The Judge with a Thousand Eyes’ confirms this is correct.]

[‘The Stargazing Guide’ smiles toward you.]

[‘The Crimson Blazing Star Creator’ cheers for your climb to the 66th floor.]

Targon smiled at the notification windows covering his vision as soon as Bellasia finished speaking.

“Yes, the Stargazing Guide… and the Crimson Blazing Star Creator are all watching over us.”

Bellasia sensed firm resolve in Targon’s words.

“Then, regarding Vertex’s guild war declaration… we’re refusing?”

Targon shook his head at Bellasia’s words.

“Not at all. Those insects are something we definitely need to deal with. Rather, it’ll be an opportunity to boost morale before ascending to the 66th floor.”

Targon was determined to overcome the guild war with Vertex Guild and then perfectly conquer the 66th floor, known as one of the most vicious floors in the hard difficulty.

According to the ‘Administrator’ they had met, it was a hellish section where even the excellent climbers from the previous quarter’s hard difficulty had mostly died.

He intended to overcome that point with minimal casualties.

***

Right after tearing the Master Blacksmith Summoning Scroll and activating its effect.

I stared at the being looking at me from within the suddenly unfolding black space.

Fortunately, I could tell what kind of being it was from the notification window floating above their head.

[Master Craftsman Dark Elf Malenis]

Gray skin and black hair.

And golden eyes that stood out on a female dark elf.

As expected of the elven race, she had long ears.

I could see Malenis’s mouth slowly opening.

“Coordinates… Pandemonium?”

The murmuring of the dark elf named Malenis continued to flow into my ears.

“Never in my life did I expect to trade with a climber from Pandemonium.”

I saw Malenis’s gaze sweep me from head to toe, then shift to the surroundings of the 5th floor waiting room.

I opened my mouth.

“Do you also trade with players from other difficulty towers?”

Malenis scratched her long hair at the back.

“Hmm, I’m sorry for saying this after I brought it up first, but I don’t know what disadvantages might befall me if I communicate about anything unrelated to trading.”

“Ah, that’s fine.”

If I don’t know something, I can just ask the seniors at the Transcender Gallery.

Dark Elf Malenis slowly rose to her feet.

“I am Malenis, a blacksmith of the Dark Elf race. You probably already know since you can see the letters with my name floating in your vision.”

“Yes.”

“I’m not allowed to ask for a customer’s name. I don’t know why. Oh, and even if you kindly tell me, it won’t reach my ears.”

With her leather long-sleeved clothes befitting a blacksmith and a work apron wrapped around her, she had quite a trustworthy appearance.

“Straight to the point. Do you have something you want?”

What a refreshingly direct personality.

“A sword, would that be possible?”

Malenis laughed bitterly.

“As expected, you want a weapon too. Almost everyone prefers weapons over armor.”

Malenis continued.

“Any specific requirements?”

I definitely had clear requirements.

“An aura, I want a sword that can fully contain sword energy.”

I could see a sparkle in Malenis’s eyes.

“Oh, you’re already handling sword energy. Good. What else?”

“I think it would be nice to have an effect that applies when facing many opponents. Something like increased critical hit probability.”

This was something I thought of after experiencing how useful the effect of my current main weapon, [Great Sword Karnavalt], was.

“Well, that much is easy.”

Malenis took out a scrap of paper, wrote a few words, then looked at me again.

“You must have seen the payment processing part on the summon token. It says to negotiate directly.”

“Yes.”

“This time I’ll just take food as payment, so prepare something reasonably delicious.”

What is this?

Another “anything” like with the Priestess senior?

That gives me a headache.

“It would be better if you had specific preferences.”

Malenis showed an expression of disbelief at my words.

“…Huh, it’s actually more difficult not to choose for you. Is that it? The truth is you don’t really intend to receive it properly. Since this is my first time with a Pandemonium customer, I’d like to maintain a long relationship.”

Malenis gestured toward me with her chin.

“As long as you don’t die, that is.”

Was she seeing me in a positive light?

The reason being none other than that I’m a rare creature, a Pandemonium climber.

I voiced the question that had formed in my mind.

“But will I be able to continue exchanging with you, Malenis?”

“There are designated summon rights besides random summon rights. You’ll get them once you pass around the 15th floor. This falls under information I’m allowed to share.”

Malenis added.

“At that time, if you remember my name and race correctly, you can perform a designated summon.”

“I understand.”

Malenis stroked her chin as if pondering.

“Hmm… my food preferences. I like crunchy things. Crispy crispy.”

I decided inwardly to give her a pork cutlet.

Malenis threw out one more question.

“You’re not going up to the next floor right away, are you?”

I shook my head.

“I’m planning to stay in the waiting room for about 4 days.”

4 days.

After consuming the magic ring.

It was enough time to grasp the basics of the Flexible Breaking Technique that senior Heavenly Demon had given me.

“4 days, that should be enough. Since when I send an item while you’re in a stage, you won’t receive it until you reach the waiting room of the next floor, you might as well wait and receive it before going up. I’ll give it to you before the third night passes.”

“Let’s do that.”

CLAP!

As if all the necessary information had been obtained, Malenis gave a light applause.

“When you receive the sword. A notification will appear allowing you to designate items to send to me as well.”

Malenis showed a bitter smile.

“Don’t die. Survive for a long, long time. Pandemonium.”

“That’s my intention. Malenis.”

After Malenis raised her right hand high and waved it widely to say goodbye.

The space that had opened like a crack returned to the form of an ordinary floor waiting room floor.

I took out my terminal and entered the Transcender Gallery.

Title: Results of Master Blacksmith Summon Right, Got a Dark Elf Blacksmith

-But maybe because she’s a Dark Elf? Her personality seemed pretty normal.

ㄴ Was it a woman?

ㄴ Anonymous*) Yes

ㄴ Hmm, originally Dark Elf ladies have normal personalities.

ㄴ Yeah, they’re on a different level than Elves. Whether you were raised gently, or lived in a somewhat harsh environment, it feels like that’s the difference.

ㄴ Elf) Raised gently? You idiot with no logic.

ㄴ Elf) Elves are elves in their own way and Dark Elves are Dark Elves in their own way.

ㄴ Elf) Elf by Elf. Yeah.

ㄴ Hahahahaha a very transparent storm of spam!

ㄴ Pointed-ear… That’s outdated language like “EbE” these days.

ㄴ Someone got properly triggered.

ㄴ No no it’s science. Dark Elves definitely have nicer personalities by default.

ㄴ Elf) That’s bullshit….

ㄴ OO demonstrating it personally

ㄴ Water King) Hahaha!!! Pointed-ear comrade is suffering!!!

ㄴ Elf) Why am I your comrade, furry.

ㄴ Water King) You have down hair too. Don’t you have down hair? Fur fur fur…

The Elf senior seemed tired of arguing and didn’t comment for a while.

ㄴ Light’s Sword) Did you order a sword?

ㄴ Anonymous*) Yeah. One that works well with sword energy.

ㄴ Archmage) Good job.

ㄴ Sewer Sword Sage) The pilgrim makes wise choices.

ㄴ Heavenly Demon) Have you read the martial arts manual yet?

ㄴ Anonymous*) Just starting to read it properly now. Oh, did I mention? I used the Flexible Breaking Technique when catching the Son of Lightning. Though I ended up using a fist technique as a footwork technique.

ㄴ Heavenly Demon) Hehehe… That’s originally that kind of technique. Well done. Now you can be considered this master’s disciple.

ㄴ Light’s Sword) But you’re my disciple.

ㄴ Heavenly Demon) You are also this master’s disciple.

ㄴ Light’s Sword) Anyway, I was first.

ㄴ Spear King) I’d like to be the third teacher.

ㄴ The climber needs to put in some legwork that appeals to you, bro.

ㄴ There are many teacher candidates.

ㄴ One thing, those from Easy and Normal origins can never aspire to be teachers of a climber.

ㄴ Sewer Sword Saint) Climber, are you interested in dual-sword style?

ㄴ Look at how quickly they pop out.

ㄴ Priestess) What about my talismans? What about my talismans? What about my talismans? What about my talismans?

ㄴ Anonymous*) Of course I used them. Blocked everything thanks to the lightning. Do these block all attacks like this?

ㄴ Priestess) Hawaaa, I’m so proud!!

ㄴ Priestess) Except when the range becomes too wide to completely cover the field, it basically blocks perfectly for 20 minutes.

ㄴ Priestess) But since Pandemonium might have cases where the field is completely covered, you shouldn’t blindly trust the barrier formation in those times.

ㄴ Anonymous*) Got it. Thanks Thanks
