Chapter Twenty-Six: A Heavy Reward

On the first floor of the Mercenary Guild on Central Street, five members of the Black Ghost Mercenary Group gathered together.

"Vane, you said we lost our memory that day when we were magically used by a man in a black hooded cloak in the alley?" asked Eth with wide eyes.

"Is that the black cloak the one who asked Elena to buy wisteria flowers just now? How dare you use the next magic on Simpson, and if he shows up again, I'll smash his little head. Simpson crunched, moving his knuckles.

"It's true that he was a man in a black cloak, but it's unclear who he is, our motives for making the move, and what methods we used. Vane shook his head slightly.

Everyone was silent, although they were in the noisy hall, the atmosphere was a little depressing for a while.

Vane felt very tired, all kinds of things were entangled in his heart but could not be solved, suddenly he thought of something, his eyes lit up and said: "The commission of a task on the bulletin board in the middle is actually a hundred gold coins, do you want to go and take a look?"

Crowded in front of the bulletin board in the middle, where the task list was still posted. The mission consists of just one sentence: "Please help me find my daughter as soon as possible, she went missing outside the east gate of Obojar a day ago." The release date reads: "July 24, 314 Age of Magic".

Suddenly, one hand tore off the task list, and Vane turned his head to see that it was Felder.

"Felder, what are you doing?" Vane didn't expect Felder to take on that task, although he was also very excited, but the task of a hundred gold coins was unthinkable.

"You're just too cowardly, this is a hundred gold coins, if we get it, we can have enough money to go anywhere in the Felder continent!" Felder looked at the task list with both hands, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face, as if a hundred gold coins had already arrived.

"I really don't know where you got your confidence, this is the release area for medium and high difficulty missions, and only those very powerful mercenary groups can complete it!" said Elena with a round eye as she looked at Felder with hatred.

"Maybe it's not as hard as you think. Vane, if you have the money, you can go to Uncle Albert, right?" said Felder with a confident smile. "Listen to me, the black ghost has only been established for a month, and if we go upstairs to find those guys to officially receive this task, I'm afraid we will be blasted out directly. It's better to ...... like this."

Eventually, after Felder's stalking, or perhaps five silver coins did the job, the little blue goblin of the "Archives" told them the name of their client: Germain Valen. But there is no more information.

In order not to be downtrodden in the rest of the day, not long after coming out of the mercenary guild, everyone stood in front of a somewhat dilapidated looking wooden house, with a wooden door hidden and a small sign hanging on it - "Charlie's Magic Cabin".

"Is this really the largest magic potion store in Dongcheng District?" asked Elena with a puzzled look on her face.

"That's true, it's just that there are very few magicians in Obojar, and almost no one comes here except for the students and teachers of the Academy of Magic. Eth explained, with a hint of sadness in her tone.

With a "squeak" the wooden door was pushed open, a complex and somewhat pungent smell came to the face. The room was a little dark, with a dim lamp hanging from the roof. Directly opposite is a wooden counter with several bones of unknown animals on it. Behind it is a cabinet of medicinal herbs that occupies almost an entire wall, divided into many compartments of different sizes, in which all kinds of medicinal herbs are placed.

"Borax, sulfur, volcanic ash...... It seems to smell of dried lizard tails......" Vane muttered as he walked.

"This kid is really amazing, he can distinguish so many kinds of medicinal materials in my magic herb shop just by smell. An old voice suddenly came from behind the counter.

Elena was startled and almost screamed. A thin old man walked slowly out of the counter on crutches, his head stretched out in front of him with his rickety back, and his sparsely knotted gray-white hair looked a little greasy in the light, hanging down long enough to cover part of his face, and a large scar was faintly visible behind him.

Except for Vane and Ace, the others were a little frightened.

"I felt like I smelled wisteria flowers. With that, he limped over to Elena, put his nose close to Elena, and sniffed. Elena stood motionless with tense whole body, goosebumps rising.

"It seems that there are quite a few, do you want to sell them for money? Recently, wisteria flowers are very sought-after medicinal materials. The old man looked at Elena and said.

Elena was very uncomfortable with him, she opened the bag, stretched out her hands to the front of the bag, and said in an unnatural voice: "Two gold coins, if not, we will go somewhere else." ”

The old man glanced inside and said, "If you're lucky, the wisteria flowers in Obohar have been almost bought up recently, and they are only worth a few dozen silver coins in normal times. With that, he grabbed the bag and walked towards the counter.

Elena looked at Vane, who gave her a reassuring look.

In the end, after Vane replenished some magic herbs, after discussion, the remaining gold coin and eighty silver coins were kept by Elena as the common property of the mercenary group.

"Phew, this pharmacy owner is really scared to death. Elena stood on the gravel road and patted her chest, and said with a palpitation.

"I think the smell of the various herbs in it makes me a little breathless, and I kind of admire the old man. Felder said, taking a big breath of air.

"That boss is actually a very poor person, he used to be a teacher at the Academy of Magic, and he had an accident in an experimental class, and he was seriously injured by the explosion, and he became what he is now. Because several students were also slightly injured, the college eventually expelled him. Ise said with some emotion.

The sun had already set, and after discussing it, they decided to go back to the inn to rest, and by the way, inquire about the real person whose client was Germaine Valen, and visit him again early tomorrow morning.

In the minister's room on the second floor of the Wizards' Guild.

"Minister, I've already confirmed with the Mercenary Guild that Vane and Felder have joined the Black Ghost Mercenary Corps this afternoon, and they have indeed taken over the mission issued by Viscount Germain. Merely...... They did not go to the office to officially register for the task. York said, standing next to him.

"This kid always does things that give me a headache, but young man, it's normal to have some thoughts, and I think I ...... back then," Rostry, sitting behind his desk, stroked his gray beard, and said slowly.

"Ahem, Minister, are we not involved in this?" asked York.

"That little girl was lost outside the east gate of the city, although I don't know what the situation is, but it is likely that she entered the Everfree Forest, otherwise with Jermain's strength, she would not have spent a lot of money to seek help from the Mercenary Guild. So be it......" Rostryy consulted with York.
