Chapter 160. Long-Term Job
“Is it the Dwarf Great Town, Dagmahar?”
“Yeah. There are Ogre packs and areas where Minotaurs appear along the way, so I’m considering the quest’s difficulty as irregular and aiming for Rank A. With your skills, you should be able to handle it, right?”
“Ogres are fine since we’ve fought them before, and based on this status, Minotaur’s strength seems to be somewhere between a Griffin and a Wyvern. We can handle it, Senpai.”
As Yuzuki flipped through the monster guide, she conveyed this information.
Considering the potential irregularities, there won’t be any problems.
The Dwarf Great Town, Dagmahar.
There’s a mission to reach that point, earning 20,000 experience points upon arrival, but it’s far away, so I had put it off.
Since it’s unlikely to proceed smoothly without any issues, I was thinking of pushing a little more.
───────────────────────
A special mission has unlocked: Escort the female merchant Eslyn and transport ore to the Dwarf Great Town, Dagmahar!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtExperience points upon mission completion: 25,000 points
───────────────────────
There it is, a special mission.
The experience points gained are quite substantial.
Moreover, according to the current conversation, defeating 3 Ogres (5000 experience points) and 1 Minotaur (8000 experience points) also seems highly probable.
According to the map, there’s a city with a population of over 10 thousand along the route to the Dwarf Great Town, Dagmahar.
If we consider going there, reaching a city with a population of over 10 thousand (3000 experience points) becomes achievable.
However, even if we cleared everything up to that point, it will only be 61,000 points.
Looking solely at the point count, it’s undoubtedly significant, but considering it will take around a week to reach, it feels a bit marginal.
However, if I were to think, “Should I decline then?” passing up on such favorable conditions would be quite a waste.
By the way, heading to the Dwarf Great Town would bring us closer to the “World Tree”.
According to the map, it takes about 6 to 7 days to reach the Dwarf Great Town, and from there, it seems we can reach the World Tree in about two days.
Mission: Reach the World Tree (30000 experience points).
With this in mind, what do I do?
Hmm, it’s not bad up to this point, but it would be nice to have something more.
Maybe I’ll give this proposal a try.
“Eslyn-san, I’m unsure whether to accept that request or not. I have a consultation.”
“A consultation? Does that mean you want a higher reward? But for us, this area is already at the limit…”
“No, it’s not about that. Can we arrange for this request to be assigned to us by the Adventurer’s Guild as an A-rank quest?”
The Adventurer’s Guild has a system called “designated quest”.
Clients specify certain adventurers or adventurer parties to take on quest requests.
It seems like a system used when a client favors specific adventurers and wants to give them work again.
“Hmm…? Ah, I see. You still don’t entirely trust us, huh? But if we do that, the reward would end up being less than the amount I just mentioned. The Guild takes a 20% commission.”
“Yes, that’s fine.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I see. If that’s what it takes for you to accept it, then I understand.”
The negotiation is successful.
Eslyn-san seemed a little disappointed, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
After promising to meet again tomorrow morning, we parted ways with Eslyn-san and her group.
The three of us—Kazane-san, Yuzuki, and me—headed back to our inn.
“As expected of Daichi-kun. You’re saying we should clear an A-rank quest once and get the 15,000 experience points, right?”
“Yes. Getting 61,000 points from a mission that takes a week isn’t bad, but I was hoping for a little more if possible.”
“The desire for more is quite evident. No rule says you won’t get experience points if you cheat the system, right?”
“Well, I’m not sure. If that’s the case, I apologize.”
“Well, as an experiment, it might not be a bad idea.”
And so, that day, we returned to the inn and rested.
And the next morning…
In the middle of the night on this day.
Unbeknownst to us, an incident was unfolding elsewhere.
