Incredibly, the once rabble-looking group showed their years of training and indomitable fighting spirits for the quest’s triumphant.
In the station’s open dinner.
“Hurrah!”
“With this, I suppose my mind is comforted for a while.”
“The quest still’s progressing in real-time so I still gots butterflies.”
The production staffs seemed to have lost weight and their face shown a pale-ish hue.
Now it was truly at the bottom of the ratings.
Because if that, they did not sell any advertising space.
Each episode was organized to run for two hours; now, they were given just one hour every week to run the episodes.
But the next broadcast would be the adventure in Todeum, and while the broadcasters also deemed it an impossibility to solve the quest; they expected the ratings to rise with the scenes set to air.
***
The Vampire’s Kingdom Todeum.
Unlike the soothing quietness liking Vampires of Seirun, this was a colorful and bustling place.
Black magic school, underground relic dealers, a place to drink fresh blood at any time on everyday, etc.
There were lots of shops that fit the characteristic of Vampires.
“We sells broken wings of Unicorns.”
“Pegasus’ horn for sale.” (I feel so trippy here, like it’s switched around. But that’s how it is on the raw.)
“Freshly received blood here, for the youngling.”
Vampire merchants went around in their black capes.
Their arrogant deals made it thrilling for the spectators within Todeum.
Mapan checked the prices and his eyes lit up.
“Most component items and loots’ prices are all lower than normal.”
It was the time not long after the combat with the Unicorns and Pegasus.
These guys were selling miscellaneous goods at low prices, while art, handicrafts, and jewels were sold at high prices.
Mapan pulled out all of the carpets, furs, and jewels he had in stock.
“With so much jewelries how many am I going to sell? I wonder if I have enough to fulfill all the Vampires’ desires. In comparison to here, the humans don’t pay nearly as much.”
Mapan began to bargain and all of his quantities were sold off.
It was a huge victory of an investment; then on the empty carriage, he filled it with miscellaneous goods.
For Merchants, this moment was such a win.
“Euhahahaha!”
Within Mapan’s poignant laughter, Weed also hid a smile during the conversation.
Later Mapan will have to pay tax in Morata!
‘Probably more Merchants and adventurers will have to stop by to pay taxes in Morata.’
Weed had this secret expectation when he returns to Morata.
With the lot of Vampires, the quests they could receive from the easy Grade F or even to Grade B were available.
Since there was nobody else beside them, this was the golden land of quests.
“You humans who we fought with. These days, there were issues that popped up in the east. We were asleep so we don’t know what had happened. I’d like you to investigate.”
With just those few words, quests of Grade C or B were released!
There was no way other people could come to Todeum, so it was a complete monopolization of quests!
“We will try to find out what’s wrong.”
Geomchis and the party members had accepted the quest. Weed also tried to perform the quest.
“We’ll investigate things in the east and will come back.”
But the Vampire shook his head.
“You cannot.”
Has been denied to perform the Quest.
“What?”
Weed hesitated for a moment in this embarrassing situation.
Most of the time when one’s unable to receive a quest, it is due to the lack of Reputation or level.
But Pale, Zephyr, or even the Geomchis could accept the quest without having being rejected.
“You have a special job to do.”
At the end of the sentence, Weed’s eyes sparkled.
“Is it important work?”
“Yes. It is very important work.”
Other colleagues weren’t in the Vampire’s selection. Only just Weed was chosen.
So the quest lying in wait must be something special!
At this moment, the party looked very enviable.
“This time as well, it’s Weed nim.”
“Perhaps…the Vamp is implying it’s something we don’t have…”
Weed shown the party an apologetic façade. However, it was a rotten face to cover up the intense joy he was feeling!
Weed carefully asked the Vampire.
“What’s this adventure that I have to do? Just leave it to me and I will faithfully commit to it, even if it’s hard or even lonesome.”
“It’s not an adventure so to speak. That’s not it. As you know, from our earlier battles, the city we live in has been severely damaged. Statues on the streets, and sculptures in castles too, has been significantly destroyed.”
“……”
With the sudden talk of sculptures, Weed had an ominous feeling surfacing. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a mistake.
“My ‘Child Holding an Apple Figure’ was also damaged. I woke up at night and the first Sculptor I remember is you… so as an exceptional human Sculptor, I have you repair the sculpture for me. Is it possible?”
Ttiring!
The broken ‘Child Holding an Apple Figure.’
The sculpture the Vampire Metson purchased 36 years ago for 120 Gold!
The treasured sculpture is severely damage due to this battle.
To repair the sculpture, you need an exceptional Sculptor with keen eyes.
Difficulty: F
Compensation: 3 Unicorn’s feathers.
Quest Limitation:
Specifically Sculptor.
To deny the quest, Metson’s trust will fall.
“……”
Weed was speechless.
