Memberfish

## Description

There is a fishing hut run by Fauk in Gaelskuv Town that Tamiko can pay some Giku for a chance to fight sea creatures without the risk of getting a game over. Instead, the risk comes from the Giku spent being lost or gaining more. Tougher enemies will have better Giku rewards while weaker enemies will have smaller ones, causing Tamiko to lose Giku.

However, there is a way to bypass the Giku needed to fish each time, and that's with a Memberfish Card. After the first time Tamiko fishes at the fishing hut, this quest will be unlocked when Fauk explains the card to her. It costs a whopping 5,000 Giku, but lets the holder fish for free!

Once Tamiko gives the required 5,000 Giku to Fauk, the quest will be complete and the Memberfish Card will be in her possession.

렉시스

**Rexis**

## **개요**

**"나는 너희의 힘이노라."**

**업화(業火)의 용.**

**프로미토스**의 **다섯 선조룡** 중 장녀이자 테라보헬이 퍼뜨린 운명의 불씨를 먹고 **최초의 화룡이 된 용**. 아슈나로크의 원인 중 하나이다. 본명은 **제렉시스(Xerexis).**

상세
--

지고의 시대 당시 **테라보헬**로부터 운명의 불씨를 받은 인간들이 이를 기반삼아 끊임없이 문명을 생산하였고, 이는 자연스레 용들의 권역까지 침범하게 되었다. 용들 중에서 프로미토스의 첫째 자손이자 대행자였던 제렉시스는 빛의 권능을 받기로 예정되어 있었던 렉시스는 테라보헬의 실수로 천상계가 완전히 지상과 학을 떼자 졸지에 아무런 권능도 받지 못하게 되었고, 제렉시스는 자신의 동족들이 학살당하는 것을 보게 되자 분노하여 불을 먹어치웠고, 곧 불씨의 힘을 도로 토해내어 강대한 화룡이 되었다. 지상에 **불의 대홍수**를 내렸으며 최초 인간 문명의 5할을 불태웠고 대지에 구멍을 뚫어 악마들이 기어 올라오게 만들었다. 이는 **제 1차 종세전쟁**의 시작점이 된다. 스스로를 모든 **악룡들의 어머니**라고 자칭한 자. 이후 용들의 언어로 최고자를 뜻하는 '제(Xe)'라는 호칭은 떼어지고 악마라는 의미의 '마가'가 붙어 마가렉시스로 칭해진다.

전쟁 당시 가까스로 다른 네 용들로 인해 지하에 봉인되었지만 그 강대한 생명력은 아직 이어져오고 있어 금룡 발라그람이 렉시스의 재발을 막고자 프로미티카로 떠나지 않고 세상에 남았다. 그러나 그 잔재는 다하카트 화산섬에 거대한 휴화산의 형태로 남아 있으며, 렉시스를 비롯한 화룡들의 권속은 거의가 아그나 앙그로스의 대군주인 **아즈라간**에게 종속되었다.

렉시스를 감금하는 데 지대한 공헌을 한 토룡 안드라모스가 흘린 불의 피, 즉 용암에서 오렉스가 태어났다고 하며, 이들의 선천적인 분노를 제어하기 위해 제라손이 이들의 주신을 자처했다.

직계를 이어받은 자 중 유명한 화룡으로는 아즈라간의 사역룡인 **마르칼레돈**이 있으며, 타락하지 않은 유일한 화룡으로 아그넬이 있다.
