Q. Why was it shelved?

A. I wrote this around the beginning of the Gallatra arc, but the in-story time is after the Gallatra arc ends.

14: Hat Trick Hanzo

【Urgent Recruitment】Method to Change to Dragonkin

15: Jet Monkey

Get bitten by dinosaurs a lot

16: Wa Day June

That's a Dragon Blood Demon...

17: Hat Trick Hanzo

Don't fall for it!

18: Sky Mum

Actually, it's not entirely a lie

19: Steam Punk Prince

Saying that explaining 60% of the truth isn't a lie is a bit...

20: Jet Monkey

But if you raise the Dragonkin's favor in the Shinobi Army, you'll find out, right?

21: Hat Trick Hanzo

Stop it, your schemes are petty but when you mess up, they're fatal

22: Sky Mum

Probably after converting to the Lizardfolk, the Dragon Blood Demon event, according to the Shinobi Army, Lizardfolk can change to Dragonkin without becoming a Dragon Blood Demon

23: Caprese

It's hard to believe they were bickering until Dragon Princess came, now they're drinking and laughing together

24: Wa Day June

It's because of Dragon Princess...

25: Steam Punk Prince

By the way, the purpose of those trying to become Dragonkin on this board is mostly the same, right?

26: Hat Trick Hanzo

Because Dragon Princess doesn't seem to be forming a clan...

27: Jet Monkey

The Black Dragon Shinobi Army has essentially become a clan

28: Wa Day June

My goal is Noarin

29: Caprese

Some people think about taming event bosses but don't try it...

30: Sky Mum

Noarin is the only one players can interact with in their current lives, and there's a rumor that if you have high favor, they give you materials

31: Jet Monkey

That's true, Noarin can apparently shed their skin or something, and when they feel like it, they give you the materials from their discarded body

32: Sky Mum

So far, only NPC Dragonkin can give them, and we don't know the performance, even Dragon Princess doesn't have one, but it fuses with the main body

33: Bamboo Light

All the materials from the big shed skin have been used to decorate the castle... but it would be a bargain in exchange for Noarin's permanent presence. By the way, I know the effects of equipment made from Black Dragon materials, I got a weapon made by raising the Dragonkin's favor

34: Caprese

Competent

35: Steam Punk Prince

Competent

36: Wa Day June

Explain please

37: Bamboo Light

Basically, it gives a status boost to Black Dragon Dragon Blood Demons or Dragonkin, but I couldn't apply it due to lack of materials, so it uses durability to enable some special skills

38: Hat Trick Hanzo

I really want it

39: Bamboo Light

And the weapon changes to look like Noarin weaponized, it's super cool

40: Wa Day June

Aaaaaaah I want it so much

41: Sky Mum

Where's the conversion facility?

42: Jet Monkey

There's someone who converted to Beastkin in the clan Dragon Princess belongs to, go search the forest

43: Ninnin Nig

I saw something amazing

44: Caprese

The forest is full of extraordinary monsters, but the increase in three-headed tyrannosaurs is the worst

45: Sky Mum

You can choose between being napalmed or having a physical collision

46: Steam Punk Prince

What happened?

47: Ninnin Nig

Well, I quickly joined one of the three slots for a random group Dragon Princess was recruiting for the Leviathan raid, and I encountered Tsuchinoko

48: Hat Trick Hanzo

Hold on a second

49: Jet Monkey

The preamble is more explosive than the main topic!!

50: Bamboo Light

There are three suspects...

51: Caprese

Is Tsuchinoko the one who kills Uniques?

52: Ninnin Nig

Well, I was going to brag about joining Dragon Princess's party, but Tsuchinoko is crazy

53: Fang

I won't hesitate to PK

54: Choco Maru

I'm curious about Tsuchinoko, keep talking

55: Hat Trick Hanzo

Forget the treatment, what happened with Tsuchinoko?

56: Ninnin Nig

Well, Tsuchinoko apparently stopped at the first floor, and I encountered them on the second floor, and it was really intense, what was that

57: Ninnin Nig

It's like... if you give the tank more attacks and firepower, it becomes like this...

58: Sky Mum

You're incompetent for not recording it

59: Ninnin Nig

Well, I quickly defeated the boss and moved to the third floor, and I didn't have a recording item

60: Jet Monkey

Incompetent

61: Caprese

Incompetent

62: Fang

Shouldn't this be dealt with?

63: Ninnin Nig

Well, I only had a screenshot item...

Here, it looks like this (got permission!)

[Image] [Image] [Image]

64: Choco Maru

Did you talk to them to get permission?

65: Steam Punk Prince

What is this...

66: Hat Trick Hanzo

It looks to me like they're standing upside down in the air

67: Wa Day June

It just looks like they're standing because of an aerial jump skill, but they're actually jumping, right?

68: Fang

You're taking some interesting pictures, aren't you!!

69: Jet Monkey

The third screenshot is completely incomprehensible

70: Ninnin Nig

It's an image of a greatsword from the inventory being kicked into the enemy

71: Caprese

I still don't get it...

72: Bamboo Light

Ah, so you use the summoning of the weapon to adjust the position and drop it on the monster when it appears

73: Sky Mum

...Acrobatics?

74: Hat Trick Hanzo

I can do that technique too, it's pretty well-known, the greatsword summon guard. But taking out a huge sword and kicking it in mid-air is a bit much even for a first-time player!!

75: Fang

Well, the second screenshot is also pretty incomprehensible, isn't Tsuchinoko a weapon user? It looks like they're throwing meat with their bare hands

76: Ninnin Nig

Well, they were actually throwing it with their bare hands. It looked like a normal punch, but there was a huge sound when it hit, like "thud!"

77: Caprese

Eh...? (Confused)

77: Ninnin Nig

I don't know if it was their first time using it, but they were the most confused, which was honestly hilarious

78: Fang

As always, a treasure trove of unknown skills, huh...

79: Steam Punk Prince

The weapon used in each image is different

80: Ninnin Nig

That's Tsuchinoko's playstyle, according to Dragon Princess. They use so many weapons, it's like a human sword saint

81: Hat Trick Hanzo

Forget about Tsuchinoko, let's ambush Ninnin Nig

82: Jet Monkey

Good idea

83: Wa Day June

Won't that fill up the inventory?

84: Ninnin Nig

Can you see the bracelet-like thing on their arm?

It's an infinite inventory (this is information from Yuiyu)

85: Wa Day June

!!?!!

86: Hat Trick Hanzo

So an unlimited inventory actually exists...

87: Choco Maru

That's nice, being free from inventory management

This is information that should be shared on the general board, isn't it?

88: Ninnin Nig

It's one of the highest-tier custom "keys." There are a few with infinite inventory functions, but this one has different output or something

89: Sky Mum

You could sell it to the library for a good amount of money

The fact that there are multiple "keys" is unknown information

90: Ninnin Nig

Well, it's a hassle, so someone else can do it

But getting back to the story, when Dragon Princess started talking to Tsuchinoko, I didn't intend to listen, but I overheard some of the inner workings of the [Traveling Wolf]...

91: Steam Punk Prince

What's the honest truth?

92: Hat Trick Hanzo

That's a lame excuse...

93: Ninnin Nig

Well, you listen, don't you?

94: Ninnin Nig

Apparently, the members of that clan do whatever they want and exchange information

95: Caprese

We need to clarify the relationship between Tsuchinoko and Dragon Princess...

96: Wa Day June

Tsuchinoko, an unconfirmed creature whose personality is completely unknown, only known for their appearance

97: Ninnin Nig

They were friendlier than I thought, and not as solo-focused as I heard. They were even in a party when they moved to the second floor

98: Bamboo Light

So, did the eavesdropping ninja get any useful information, or what, eavesdropping ninja?

99: Ninnin Nig

It's pretty intense, so I stopped... but they were talking at a normal volume!

Oh, Tsuchinoko said something about a big event in a few days, and to go to the old continent

100: Steam Punk Prince

Don't drop bomb information so casually!!

101: Jet Monkey

The Great Plague Blue has been defeated, so it's a different matter...

102: Ninnin Nig

The old continent has been getting dangerous lately

103: Haweed

Actually, if you have the Ninja, Thief, or Assassin job, you can receive spy quests from the king

104: Wa Day June

Looking at the current kingdom-related relationship diagram, are there any information weaklings joining the new king?

105: Hat Trick Hanzo

People with high karma or PK debt will join, as they can default on their debt and receive amnesty depending on their work

106: Fang

But if you follow the new king route, you'll be in conflict with the NPCs in the new continent, right?

107: Sky Mum

Dragon Princess will be sad, won't she?

108: Haweed

Well, Dragon Princess is irrelevant in this case, but the quest is sometimes strange

109: Jet Monkey

After a year of being taunted for not finding the top-tier job, Dragon Princess saved the ninja community. How can you say she's irrelevant?

110: Ninnin Nig

It must be the Tempura Knights

111: Caprese

Smoothly shifting the hate to the Tempura Knights

112: Sky Mum

Stop it, stop it, recently there have been more people getting seriously angry without knowing the context

113: Steam Punk Prince

Actually, the main culprit is the President...

114: Bamboo Light

I really like the story of how the Skull Azuchi, who was in charge of various things, was mistaken for an NPC who needed to be talked to when building structures in the new continent

115: Wa Day June

Some people think the Master Builder is an NPC's name, not a job title

And some people confuse it with the President

116: Choco Maru

Watching someone build scaffolding and stairs on the spot to bring flying monsters into range is more fantastical than any magic

117: Haweed

It's said that gravity-like magic is included in the verification by the library and volunteers

118: Wa Day June

Is that not a very important piece of information?

119: Steam Punk Prince

Is the President a job that should be approached like a magic user, learning skills through inspiration?

120: Wa Day June

Do you really need gravity magic? The end-game monsters seem to easily break through gravity

121: Haweed

Are there really information weaklings who don't know that gravity magic is closely related to flight magic??

There was a winter when ninjas were compared to thief-derived jobs and taunted for not finding the top-tier job...

So when it comes to not only the top-tier job but also the hidden top-tier job, the spring breeze that brought Akitsu Akane, the princess of the ninja circle and the warrior of the pink star, was a breath of fresh air
