Transmigrated into a fallen priest, Mark clutches the Forbidden Scripture that would make a saint’s face turn black in his left hand, and a cross blessed by the Abyss in his right.
When the...
"We are issuing an urgent rescue mission within 3 hours!"
After just a brief moment of silence, the five people made their decision.
They each took out the gold coins at the bottom of their wallets and barely scraped together 161.3 gold, asking Ailian to quickly issue the task.
After receiving the money, Ailian gave another professional smile: "Do you want it dead or alive?"
"Alive!" Cole angrily slammed his fist on the counter.
"The place where you last separated, and the direction he fled."
"A temporary adventurer camp outside of Osborne Town, fleeing towards the Wolf Valley."
Ellen didn't care about Cole's attitude. She quickly wrote down the information on the task list in front of her and then stamped it with the Adventurer's Guild's certification seal.
As she tapped the copper bell beside her, a resonant magic appeared simultaneously in the task window and on the task board in the hall.
A red parchment scroll for an expedited mission immediately appeared at the top of the mission hall panel.
[Wolf Valley Rescue·Limited time: 3 hours·Basic reward: 120 gold coins].
"Boys, quickly inform your boss that this is an urgent public mission, limited to three hours, and requires a survivor. For every hour completed early, you'll receive an additional 10 gold coins!"
When the mission appeared in the hall, Ailian also called out to the informants on one side of the hall.
Ordinary adventurers in Osborne Town might be tempted by the rewards for a rescue mission like the one in front of them.
But Ellen, who knew the adventurers in Osborne Town very well, also knew that only this group of adventurers who were willing to pay for informants had the ability to rescue people within the specified time.
For this type of adventure group, the mission reward of more than 100 gold coins is not the main point. What they need most is the invisible reputation gained from completing a certain number of urgent public missions in the Adventurer's Guild.
Of course, a net profit of more than one hundred gold coins from an emergency mission is actually quite a lot for several large adventure groups in Osborne Town.
Other adventure groups...
Well, although it is called an adventure group, actually when Oak and his friends registered for the adventure group yesterday, Ellen did not tell them that there are actually only a dozen or so 1-star adventure groups in Osborne Town that have successfully completed 1-star team missions and have been recognized by the Adventurer's Guild.
The main members of these dozen or so adventure groups are at least at the second level of strength.
After hearing Ailian's call, the informants in the hall confirmed the identity characteristics of the rescue targets on the task panel as if they were familiar with the process, and then rushed to the hotel where their boss was staying without stopping.
Some people may even have to stay in one or two hotels in a row.
…
As the fluorite wick burst into tiny blue flames in the glass cover, the copper bell on the oak door of Chunhui Hotel was jingling loudly as it was knocked by three waves of adventurers.
The cool breeze from the river, wrapped in the sound of horseshoes scraping against the cobblestone road, flowed into the lattice window of the river view suite, waking up Mark who was sleeping soundly.
"Holy Light above... do you have any sense of public morality..."
Mark buried his face in the lavender-scented pillow and cursed mumbledly, but in his ears he heard the creaking sound of Monica's bare feet stepping on the pine floor in the living room.
It seems that our beautiful appraiser was also woken up by the rude adventurers outside.
"Huh~ Let's see what's going on."
Mark reluctantly got up from the bed, went to the terrace and looked down with Monica.
Under the terrace, on the side close to the river bank, is the stable of Chunhui Hotel. At this moment, several teams of adventurers are driving their horses out of the stable, as if they are in a hurry to do something.
And just at this moment.
Beta's knock on the door was particularly clear amid the chaotic sound of horse hooves outside the yard:
"Sir Mark! The Grizzly Bear Tavern has an urgent rescue mission! Didn't you say today that you wanted to experience the life of an adventurer on a mission first? If you haven't slept yet, why not..."
It’s not that Beta is so naive as to want to wake Mark up in the middle of the night.
But Mark knew that the noise of the adventurers going up and down the stairs of Chunhui Hotel and the sound of their horses driving out must have woken him up.
In addition, when he said goodbye to Mark in the evening, Mark specifically told him that he wanted to temporarily join his adventure group to experience the life of an adventurer. Of course, he was particularly interested in inviting Mark to go with him.
According to the information from the informant, the danger of this emergency rescue mission is controllable for their team, and it can also help Mark get to know many high-level adventurers in Osborne Town.
It is the best time to repay Mark for his kindness in driving away the poison.
When Mark pulled the bolt, the corridor wall lamp cast six elongated shadows inside the door. All members of the Beta Adventure Group were waiting outside the door, armed and neatly equipped.
The four official members, except Beta, were fully equipped and had sharp weapons. The newcomers Jimmy and Anna each carried a backpack half a person's height.
At first glance, it looks like they are fully armed and ready to stay in the Warcraft Mountains for a while.
"Wait for me a moment, I'll change my clothes and come out right away."
After letting everyone wait in the living room for a while, Mark and Monica went back to their rooms to change their clothes and equipment, and then took Xiao Mu with them and followed Beta's adventure group out of the main entrance of the hotel.
"What kind of emergency rescue mission is this? Do we need so many people?"
Mark asked doubtfully as he looked at the other ten-member adventure group that had just ridden away.
Baker laughed when he heard this and said, "We're not in a cooperative relationship. We're all competing for missions. Because the rewards are high and the missions are relatively simple, many adventure groups want to give it a try."
"Ah? Then aren't you wasting your time waiting for me here?"
"Sir Mark! It's okay. Our adventure group doesn't have much of an advantage in rescue operations. This time we're just trying our luck. It doesn't matter if we don't get the mission. I'll just give you a chance to familiarize yourself with the Monster Mountain Range."
Beta ripped open his collar, revealing his smooth chest. The scars that had been hideous yesterday now glowed with a healthy glow under the fluorite light of the inn. "Of course, if Sir Mark wants to give it a try, we can go over there and have a look. We might be able to find something."
Mark and Monica looked at each other. It was the first time for both of them to come to the small town near the Monster Mountains.
Originally, they planned to hang out with Oak and the other youngsters for a while, and then act on their own after becoming familiar with the Warcraft Mountains.
Now that there are veteran adventurers to help them familiarize themselves with the mission process, that would be even better.
"Well, let's go and take a look together."
"Okay, let's go find the boss lady and rent a few horses first."
Beta, who was familiar with the place, rented a few ponies for everyone, rode on the horses and led everyone towards the northwest gate of Osborne Town.
Along the way, Mark also understood why everyone who was resting in the hotel suddenly got up in the middle of the night to accept the mission of the Adventurer's Guild.
However, it is different from other hotels. Chunhui Hotel is a hotel that specifically places informants at the Adventurer's Guild.
The informant at the hotel rushed back to the hotel after receiving the news, and the proprietress went to each adventurer who had needs one by one to notify them.
Only adventurers like Mark and Monica, who had not made prior arrangements with the proprietress, did not receive the notice.
It was on the way to the city gate that Mark learned that the person to be rescued in this emergency rescue mission seemed to be Oak, the small nobleman from the Kingdom of Karl who came to Osborne Town with them!
