"Mr. Dress, are we going straight out of the city?" asked Ginnar.
"No, no, no. Since we are going to Mount Shorston, we have to accept a reliable mission to go there." Dress said.
"I understand, Mr. Dress. I will follow your instructions in everything."
"Let's go, let's go to the Adventurer's Guild first, it's a good opportunity to show you around."
The two soon arrived at the Adventurer's Guild, but today's Adventurer's Guild was a little different.
Normally, the Adventurer's Guild is bustling with people.
There are hundreds of people here to take quests, but today there are only a dozen or so mercenaries sitting in the Adventurer's Guild.
Only two or three reception windows were working, the others were closed.
Dress planned to take on a mission to go to Hillston Volcano to find herbs, or to defeat monsters.
Not many people like tasks like finding herbs because they are too troublesome and time-consuming.
Moreover, the reward is pitifully low, only a few gold coins. As for defeating a specific monster, it is even more dangerous. Ordinary low-level adventurers will not take such a task.
"Hello, I want to take on an adventurer's mission." Dress came to a window and spoke.
"Hello, Mr. Dress! How can I help you?" A sweet-looking girl in her twenties with freckles on her face bowed to Dress and said.
After all, the opponent on the other side is the famous Black Sword Storm, so she must treat it with caution, after all, the opponent is notorious.
"Hello, I plan to take a mission to go to the Houston Volcano to look for herbs, or to defeat monsters." Dress said.
"Going to the Houston Volcano to look for herbs or to defeat monsters? I understand. Please wait a moment." The registrar nodded, opened her task log, and began to search carefully.
After a while, the young lady spoke to Dress with an embarrassed look on her face.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Dress, we currently don't have any missions registered to go to the Houston Volcano to search for herbs or to defeat monsters!"
"So what about the caravan escort mission?"
"I'm not very sorry."
"Oh! Are there so few missions recently? I remember that generally no adventure groups are willing to take on missions like subduing monsters and searching for herbs, right?" Dress asked.
Dress wouldn't be surprised if the first two tasks were missing, but it would be strange if the task of escorting the caravan was also missing.
"That's generally true. But you know what happened in the past few days. Many quests have been canceled by the publishers. It hasn't been very peaceful here lately. Not even many adventurers are willing to leave the city." The receptionist bowed and spoke.
Isn't it? A lot has happened recently. The Holy Silver Dragon Empire's military transport convoy was completely wiped out, and rumor has it that a true Silver Dragon Knight was killed. There are even rumors that a legendary Warcraft was responsible.
It was just a rumor at first, but eventually more and more people confirmed it.
In the valley where the Holy Silver Dragon Empire was attacked, there was indeed the remnant of a legendary monster.
Even the corpses of the Silver Dragon clan members were eaten by the legendary monsters.
This is a legendary monster! It's been nearly 100 years since any legendary monster appeared on the mainland!
This incident caused a huge uproar in the small city of Tru. Mercenaries and adventurers now dared not leave Tru for the wilds. No one could guarantee they would encounter the legendary beast, which was a sure death!
Therefore, some task publishers have recently canceled the tasks they have published, planning to wait until the hype of Legend of Warcraft has passed.
When posting your own mission, after all, just posting the mission in the Adventurer's Guild will charge a certain fee, and during this period of time, no mercenaries or adventurers dared to leave the city.
No one wants to face a legendary monster suddenly.
"I see. Forget it then!" Dress shrugged helplessly, planning to just go straight to Hillston Volcano.
No wonder the Adventurer's Guild, which is usually so noisy and bustling, is so deserted today.
"Wait a minute, sir and madam, are you planning to leave the city?" At this moment, a voice stopped Dress who was about to leave.
"That's right. What can I do for you?" Dress turned around and asked.
The man who spoke to him was wearing a black windbreaker and had a two-handed sword slung over his back. He was the same man who had asked about the attack on the Holy Silver Dragon Empire's transport team in the tavern that day.
"Aren't you afraid of danger? At this time, no adventurer wants to leave the city." The man in black said.
"Haha! Adventurers like us are always trying to make a living, no matter where we are. Every time we go out, we always have to hang our heads on our belts.
Even if there is a legendary monster wandering around outside, I still plan to go out for a walk. After all, if I don’t complete the quest, I will be homeless.
"And if a legendary monster were to attack, Tru City wouldn't be safe either. It would be incredibly easy for a legendary monster to flatten a city," said Dress.
"Is that so? Then can I hire you?" The man in black smiled and asked.
"Oh! Do you want to leave Tru City?" Dress asked.
"That's right. For some reasons, my companions and I have to go to a certain place, so we want to hire someone who has been hanging out here for many years and is more familiar with the terrain." The man in black said.
I've gathered a lot of intelligence from them these past few days, including some information about the masters in Tru City.
This Black Sword Storm is one of the best masters in Tru City, and it is said that his strength is at the heroic level.
"Really? You guys shouldn't be locals, right? What brings you here?" Dress asked.
"Sorry, this is our private matter. If you are willing to accept our employment, you will be paid 100 gold coins. The mission time is seven days. During these seven days, you need to take us around Tru City." The man in black said.
"I'm really sorry, please forgive me for refusing!" After saying this, Dress took Ginar's hand and left the Adventurer's Guild without looking back.
These guys look suspicious! I don't want to get into any trouble right now. I have something important to do.
After being rejected by Dress, the man in black didn't say anything and once again looked for his target in the Adventurer's Guild.
The two quickly left Tru City and met up with Dress's two monsters, Bemundstein and Golzan, at the city gate.
