[A [Special Quest] has been generated: [Manufacture The Aqua Rings!]
[To help the Aquatic Anima population of Agartha survive the merciless and dry summer, you've been given the task from one of their representatives, Saphira, to craft a special item to relieve them of their exhaustion. Create an Aqua Ring using high quality materials to create the special effect of [Humidity] which will aid Aquatic Anima to keep humid in summer. Extra points if you make it so it can't break so easily when used frequently!]
[Completion Rewards: [100000 EXP] [100000 Shared EXP] [Water Rune Potion (D Grade)] x5 [Random Skill Proficiency Potion (E Grade)] x3 [Water Dragon Flower (D Grade)] x2 [???] x1]
I guess what I need to make is use the Tier 4 Water Attribute Spell [Humidity] and imbue it as runes into the Rings so they transform into Aqua Rings. Naturally, higher quality materials make for better Aqua Rings. Also I doubt I have enough on my stash to make something good enough that wouldn't be disposable after a month of being used.
So, going to the dungeon, aside from our thirst for adventure, is totally normal and just what we wanted anyways! It is totally not because we just want to go hunt monsters and explore for rare materials…
Analyzing the rewards, seems that another [???] thingy showed up. The previous one were these mysterious Weapon Upgrade Jewels, and now there it is again. Maybe it is also weapon upgrade jewels… or something else, a mysterious new item.
However, if we talk about the other items, they seem pretty interesting. Mostly the Water-themed ones. I can get Water Rune Potions out of this, which is not my strongest element, and even a Water Dragon Flower. I don't think any of them suit me but… there is nothing saying I cannot gift them to somebody else either.
So perhaps I could make Aquarina some Dragon Elixirs using these flowers. Her Spirit Beast is Leviathan, a water dragon monster, so of course she'll benefit from this, and boosting her water runes even more would also enhance her fighting potential as well. I guess I could give it a shot! That would be a nice gift for her, right? It surely would!
"Uwaah, I never thought we could just escape from the city ! Sylphy, isn't this illegal?" Celica seemed overly worried.
"Nah, don't worry. I am the daughter of the sovereign of that city… I make the rules." I giggled smugly, although I knew that if my mother knew I was doing this carefreely, she would quickly reprimand me.
"I-I don't know if I should take that answer for granted…" Celica sighed.
"WOOF! I smell a lot of water to the west! Is it there?"
Furoh was on his glorious and gorgeous Fenrir form, carrying all of us over his big back. He was so big and fluffy nobody complained about being carried by such a glorious-looking mount, despite his real identity being a shapeshifting mimic demon, hehe.
"Yep, the Effervescent Lake is to the West of the Forest, we need to cross the Grassy Plains too, so it is a smooth travel, use the road leading there, that one over there. Just run straight from there."
Furoh ran across the beautiful grassy plains, we saw several herds of monsters walking around peacefully, grassing over the fields of grass while bathing on the calm sunlight. As someone that grew stronger with sunlight, it was a really nice feeling to bath on it when it was so warm.
Furoh often did some wolf-like noises on his Fenrir form, which was his main shapeshifting form. Usually, he often also took the form of a powerful dragon, trying to imitate Ignatius' brother, although failing to even have his same power. Other times he can also take the form of other monsters we've fought, such as Black Wyverns for flying and the like.
However, instead of flying it is always more enjoyable to see the beautiful scenery from up close~ Though, we didn't had much time to spare now that I thought about it.
"Furoh, can you fly?"
Furoh's body shapeshifted when we were still sitting over his back. In a moment, he transformed, his entire body taking the form a large and ferocious wyvern, as big as five meters, with enormous wings which he flapped rapidly, lifting us all into the skies!
His black scales shone brightly below the sun, as his red eyes glanced down into the landscape, following the road I told him before.
"Woah, this is amazing! Sir Furoh, you're incredible!" Mist began praising Furoh.
"Hahaha, this is nothing but a small warm up, I can become a lot of other powerful beings!" Laughed Furoh.
"But seriously this is great." Said Zack sighed in relief. "The sky is so beautiful… And down there, the world… it looks small in comparison."
"Yeah, this is really quite the scenery." Celeste smiled as she relaxedly saw the world around us through the skies.
"Mister Teddy! We are in the sky!" Celica was happy.
"Big sis… Furoh can transform?!" My little brother asked, surprised about seeing him become a giant wyvern.
"Yep, it is one of his many talents!" I nodded. "He's also a Familiar, you'll eventually find your own Familiars that will help you through your journey."
"Familiars…" Zephy had yet to get one himself, but I am sure that through this trip we might find a monster that could be tamed and might join him, he had indeed good talent for magic. If not, maybe a spirit… and if that doesn't work either, I might try out something myself, like giving him a spirit I could create or something.
"I want one that can be as big as this one! Where can I get it?" He wondered.
"Hahaha, I don't know, you'll have to leave that mostly to luck for now." I laughed. "Oh, we're getting closer! Everyone, look!"
I pointed into the distance, as we saw the lake, which was being surrounded by a large rocky area known as the Lake's Rocky Valley. In the center of the Lake there was a small island with a large cave leading down into a dungeon, the Fishman King's Lair.
