Chapter 1512 Guild Task

เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 มี.ค. 2569 15:30

The next day, just as he had planned, Emery took the two of them and went to the Silvermane City local market. His intention in coming was to sell the parts of the Legendary creatures that he had hunted over the past few days. After traveling back and forth through the marketplace where he spent hours selling his haul in various places. Regardless of the tireless bartering the merchants exhibited, Emery earned a total of 200,000 spirit stones, which was honestly a pretty decent sum. With the spirit stones he had looted from the creatures, in addition to those he took from the magus he killed, and minus what he had spent to purchase Andrei and Doppa, Emery was left with 1,600,000 worth of spirit stones in his possession. In truth, he still had 4,5 million spirit stones in his other storage ring. However, those weren't his, and he had absolutely no plan to use them unless the situation was extremely dire. Because of that, Emery was technically still missing a few hundred thousand short if he wanted to buy out Tatyana from the Red Pagoda. However, the cold truth was that even if he now had the spirit stones ready to do it, Emery didn't plan to take her out of the Red Pagoda. Not yet. So far, the brown-haired girl has proven to be useful. In just a few days, she had managed to gather various bits of intel just as he had requested. From talking to several high-ranking officers of the court who came to the establishment, she found out that the relationship between the three major factions and the Alpha King was not as close as it was shown in the public. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺 It appeared that the three factions – Locrios, Karst, and Corvin – have become too influential, and thus have been getting too much control of the Silvermane Kingdom, which apparently prompted the Alpha King's actions for this year's Royal Hunt. The King was hoping that the Royal Hunt would allow him to find and attract more capable people to his side. However, it seemed that many thought the event would still be monopolized by the three factions. The intelligence she managed to get in a short time turned out to be very useful, therefore Emery hoped that Tatyana would be able to take a deeper look into the three factions. He especially hoped for more information on the Corvin faction – he was interested in who their allies and enemies were in particular. The other question that Tatyana hadn't been able to find a significant result on was regarding the [Ancient Wolf Blood]. It seemed that there really were no vials available other than those given to the three factions and those offered as rewards in the Royal Hunt. She did, however, hear from some of the Corvin people she spoke to that the one that the Alpha King had given to the Corvin had been bestowed to the young master of the faction, Jason Corvin. From the looks of it, Jason Corvin would indeed be one of the top contenders in the Royal Hunt. Therefore, Emery really needed to immediately prepare for the event which would be held in two and a half months. After finishing selling all of his haul on the market, Emery made his way to the Wolf Guild together with Yoro and Andrei. It was time for them to take on their first task to gain fame points and reach higher grades. "Welcome to the Wolf Guild. Are you looking to take on a Task?" greeted the female guild attendant immediately as Emery approached the reception. Even though his team was still not complete, Emery planned to give some tasks a try to gain some experience. With the limited time he had, he also prioritized looking for quests that were short in duration yet yielded high fame points. Due to their nature, they were bound to be more dangerous, but Emery did not care. The foxgirl guild attendant gave him two currently available tasks that suited his needs and were intended for a small pack of five people maximum. *** [Rank F Quest] [Clean out Fire Ant nest, medium threats, 200 fame points] [Hunt Mirage Lizard, medium threats, 175 fame points] *** Emery looked at the two tasks in his hands and carefully considered his options. The Fire Ant might only be a low-level magical creature, but there should be hundreds, if not thousands, in their nest that need to be killed to complete the task. On the other hand, killing a Legendary creature like the Mirage Lizard might seem risky at first glance, but it would be comparatively much easier and simpler for Emery. However, the task of finding the creature might prove tricky. It might only take hours, or if they are unlucky it could span over several days. Hence in the end, Emery decided to take the task of exterminating the Fire Ant nest instead. After completing the necessary procedures, the three of them quickly made their way to the place stated on the task. They headed out of the city, to a farm a few miles away where a nest of Fire Ants had just formed and was troubling the surrounding farmers. The situation seemed to be more urgent than it was written in the brief because Emery and the other two saw that a swarm of ants had ravaged the farm when they arrived. *** [Fire Ant] [Magical Beast - level 10] [Battle power - 65] *** Without further ado, the three of them sprang into action. The farmers looked taken aback by their sudden arrival, but they immediately calmed down when they saw them killing the creatures. It took the three of them a few minutes to deal with every Fire Ant above the ground. After making sure they didn't miss any, they quickly made their way down the hole to their lair, killing more along the way. Thanks to Yoro's [Earth Pulse], the group had no trouble navigating through the labyrinth-like tunnel dug by the Fire Ants. Soon, they arrived at a chamber with high ceilings where they could see a dozen or so Fire Ants guarding one that looked different from anything they had seen so far. *** [Fire Ant Queen] [Legendary Beast -level 15] [Battle power - 210] *** This task would certainly be a difficult challenge for a team consisting of Saint realm warriors, but not with a magus like Emery. It only took them another few minutes to kill the Fire Ant Queen and clean up the nest. Beheading the Fire Ant Queen and taking its head as proof, they were about to leave when Yoro mentioned that Fire Ant egg nectar could be sold for a pretty good price. At the end of the day, the task Emery chose was an easy one with some pretty good loot to add on.
