“I can’t believe this! Such a difficult commission.”
“Pegasus! Levels around 420. And the Unicorns are a bit higher.”
“Plus, they can take to the sky. We can’t accept this request.”
This was the first time the members of the party encountered an A difficulty quest, and all were in panic mode.
However, Geomchi and the instructors had a different mindset.
“Geomchi2.”
“Yes, Master.”
“What are these Pegasus and Unicorn bastards?”
“Their powers are legendary.”
“Stronger than me?”
“Is that even possible? Master is invincible.”
Flattery was the best way to handle this.
Especially when the risk of getting a hole blown into his body was located next to him.
Geomchi3 quickly shouted.
“Even infants know that Master is a Celestrial Being!”
In normal cases, Geomchi and the instructors’ willingness to fight might seem a bit creepy.
But they had been relaxing while viewing the scenery for more than ten days already, so everybody was itching for a battle.
The practitioners were also in favor of the request.
“Why’s the pending, isn’t it good to kill strong guys?”
“That’s right! This is a chance to see the Pegasus to their deaths, isn’t it so rare?”
“I think we should check up on the Royal Road’s board, to check how we’ll fare against them.”
“Well, Weed will think of something!”
They had no countermeasure.
They figured the situation will somehow take care of itself, so they weren’t at the bit least worried.
‘That’s right. Weed showed this side before.’
‘If it’s Weed nim, we can trust his judgment.’
The party turned their attention to Weed. Until now, they have put their faith onto Weed to make the best decision.
In fact, the request didn’t make sense in the first place.
The Pegasus and Unicorns can use magic affiliated with nature, while they move fast and could also take to the sky.
Therefore, aside from their levels, it was already hard enough to have such monsters as the opponents.
‘Forget about it.’
‘It’d be easier to commit suicide.’
Fighting back against the desperate pleading eyes of his party members, Weed placed his gaze on the rewards.
“The Vampire’s treasury and Koldeurim’s Liberation.”
The treasury must contain some unknown item, as a grade A quest’s compensation shouldn’t be this simple. Yeurika’s Bow, Baharan’s Bracelet, becoming the Earl of Morata was such quests’ rewards.
Koldeurim’s Liberation reward stated was huge.
“23, 000 points of Public Relation is tremendous.”
The points can be exchange for items, and can even be use to borrow soldiers. And can even be helpful when buying goods; in Weed’s case, although not necessary, it can even be use to increase Reputation or even obtain a title.
“A jackpot to encounter this grade A quest with such good rewards.”
Facing this terrific compensation, his usual mindset was lost.
Weed said at once.
“Ima accept this quest.”
Then he took out his carving knife and engraved his name onto the board.
You have accepted the quest.
“Eos.” (ack!)
“Weed nim!”
Everyone gasped in surprise. No matter how unreasonable the quest was, Weed readily accepted it.
Weed didn’t hesitate once bit and continued to engrave the other’s names onto the board.
Pale, Maylon, Surka, Irene, Romuna ...
Pale have accepted the quest.
Maylon have accepted the quest.
Each time Weed engraved a name onto the board, a new window message followed. As the leader of the party, each time he wrote a name on the board, the written person will automatically accept the quest.
“Keuheuheuheu.”
“It’s a fight.”
The still without-a-countermeasure Geomchis were joyous.
Pale couldn’t help but ask.
“Weed nim. You must have some sort of plan to deal with these Pegasus and Unicorns, right?”
“Nope. I’ll gradually think of one…”
“Then shouldn’t we wait before accepting?”
“We’ve come this far, why not see how you fare against Todeum’s caliber?”
If they didn’t accept this quest, they would have to retrace their steps back to Seirun.
From there to here and back takes at least 20 days!
As the monthly fee for Royal Road was expensive, this was something Weed could not afford.
“We will respect Weed nim’s judgment. But why did you write our names on there?”
“I didn’t want to die alone…….”
“……”
Weed calculated in his head.
‘Pegasus and Unicorns’ leather. Superbly fine tailoring item. If I sew using these items, the skill proficiency will rise dramatically, and I’m sure I can sell the produce at a high price.’
Leather wasn’t the end of it.
The Unicorn’s horn magical property can be use as the main ingredient to create excellent grade staves.
The magic staves are one of the most expensive weapons!
Not only blacksmithing and sewing skill would improve, the fabricated products were excellent sellers, an opportunity no one should ever miss.
Koldeurim’s Liberation and the Vampire’s treasure were important, but to compare which was easier to bring back between the gifts and monsters’ mats, monsters’ mats win out easily.
Then, another message window popped up.
Ttiring!
Built by ancient people, the Hero’s Tower.
Following the war, the tribes of Heraim built Hero’s Towers after they were scattered throughout the Versailles continent.
Located on the frontiers or remote regions, 12 towers were made.
Why the people of Heraim did such a thing was unknown.
The Hero’s Tower consisted of five floors.
Another name for this is the Immediate Training Center.
Upon reaching the third floor and more, one will be able to obtain Heraim’s power or skill.
Difficulty: Unknown
Rewards:
At each stage, the people of Heraim have prepared special rewards.
Quest limit:
Had to accept given quests by Todeum’s vampires beforehand.
Those that can climb the Hero’s Tower are limited to those that passed the Basic Training Center and Beginner Training Center.
For Weed, another reason why he must unconditionally complete the current given quest appeared.
A second quest.
Many have desperate sought out the Intermediate Training Center, only to discover that it was in fact the Hero’s Tower in the Versailles continent.
The Intermediate Training Center presented in the form of a quest.
‘At the very least, I need to reach the third floor.’
Unknown difficulty!
The Basic Training Center and the Beginner Training Center was considerably difficult. For the BaTC, it required a tremendous amount of patience; whereas the BeTC forces one to face an oncoming group without a single rest while going through a dark passage.
For the ones that have no combat sense, they would never be able to break through the passage.
Weed had passed the Beginner Training Center back in the day; at the time, only 400 contestants passed the challenge in Versailles continent.
‘That number prolly increased a lot more now.’
The Geomchis also passed the BeTC through the use of martial arts.
Now, the locations of the BeTC were no longer a secret.
So those that have passed the BaTC will most likely try and challenge the BeTC. There were those who’ve encountered failure; but through efforts, most succeeded.
At this point, there were about 3,000 people who have passed the BeTC.
But for those who have passed the Intermediate Training Center, the number did not exceed 150.
By passing each of the two training centers, one can obtain stronger skills or new abilities.
Weed made up his mind.
“Ima sneak into Todeum. I’ll map out the Unicorns and Pegasus’ locations and their number, I’ll also look for their weakness.”
“No no no!”
“That’s suicide!”
