E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 50 - The Conqueror's Mission
After the Quest was installed, exactly 8 adventurers agreed to take the mission. Prepare to go to another Continent inhabited only by Elves.
A very long and dangerous mission that certainly can not be paid cheaply. That was why the Guild suggested paying at least 40 Platinum coins.
Immediately, Lucas held a meeting within this Guild Hall to discuss regarding their duties and plans. While Leo just sat on the side and listened to everything.
"First, my name is Lucas. I know your duty will be very long, but I guarantee that you will not face much danger while moving in silence.
Then for his own task, I want you to take some big bottles of life water from the lake where the sacred tree is located. Precisely about 12 bottles twice the size of the man's drink glass.
If possible, I hope you can also pick up some plants like the following." Lucas said, showing a piece of paper.
On the sheet of paper, there is an explanation of the name of the plant, a simple picture, and its main characteristics.
"I was hoping you guys could get some of that stuff. But if it's not possible, not taken will not be a problem." Lucas.
The eight B-level adventurers within the Guild watched all of Lucas' explanations carefully. After everything is done....
"alright. We already understand. The time limit is 2 months, right?" Asked one of the adventurers with that bald head.
"That's right. I'll take the stuff back here after 2 months." Reply Lucas.
'Srruugg!'
Upon hearing that answer, the eight adventurers immediately stood up from the chair and prepared to leave. And that long mission.
But nevertheless....
"Wait." Said Leo who immediately stopped their footsteps.
When the adventurer with the bald head turned his gaze....
'Bruk!'
One small pouch was thrown by Leo towards him.
"8 Platinum coins. Think of it as a down payment bonus." Said Leo with his flat face.
A smile immediately adorned the face of the bald adventurer as well as the other seven adventurers.
"Haha! With this we will be much more excited to work! Thanks!" Said the Adventurer as he immediately turned his body and continued his footsteps.
His right hand looks waving. However, his eyes did not look at Leo and Lucas.
And now, after they're gone....
"Why did you do that?" Ask Lucas.
What is meant is not just about the 40 platinum coins previously awarded by Leo. But also 8 additional platinum coins.
"Just get them to work soon." Reply Leo briefly while sipping cold cow milk in his wooden glass.
"But...."
"Now your business is done. And now it's my turn. You said you were a medic? Other than my previous request, can you teach some of my subordinates to concoct medicine?" Ask Leo.
He didn't even ask what Lucas wanted for the mission.
It was because he was currently much more interested in the potential that was in front of him. Given the price of the potion is very high, if Leo can acquire that knowledge....
But far from his expectations, Lucas' face actually looks a thin smile.
"Of course." Reply Lucas with a smile.
'What does this mean? He did not hesitate to give such valuable information?' Leo thought in his heart.
"But unfortunately, I may be leaving this city soon. There are still many things I need to prepare. So I'm gonna lend you this." Lucas said as he picked up something behind his waist bag.
What was taken was a fairly thick book with a brown leather cover.
Looking at the book, Leo realized that this was far more valuable than he expected. Given how great his luck was today, Leo himself became a little scared.
Maybe a big bad luck will be waiting for him tomorrow?
"You sure?" Ask Leo while touching the book.
"of course. But I just loaned it to you. After all, it is all my knowledge. I'll be back after two months. That long, you can use it. So take good care of it." Lucas said as he pushed the book toward Leo.
After gaining some of that power of knowledge, Leo then proceeded to demand another request.
While ordering a drink, Lucas answered all the questions in Leo's head.
Without Leo expecting, the gimmick had a very broad knowledge. It even went far beyond his expectations.
First was the sacred forest of Elves.
A place that could be said to be the heart of the Elf race itself. Inside was a dense forest and a large lake at its center. Right in the middle of the lake, there was a sacred tree.
The size itself is not large according to legend, only as high as 12 meters. But what was amazing about the tree was the fact that it was emitting pure Mana energy. It was even much purer than Mana Crystal which could be said to be one of the rarest materials in this world.
The purity and abundance of Mana energy seemed to know no bounds. It is even said that the tree has existed since the birth of the first Elf in this world.
The greatest power of all is eternity. As soon as the Elves mature, or exactly after turning 150, they will undergo rituals to the sacred tree. Stop their aging completely.
And directly, making them immortal in the sense that they will not die of age.
What Lucas was looking for was the lake's water. Having been affected by so much extremely pure Mana energy, even sipping the lake water alone was said to immediately heal wounds and many diseases.
Unlike the sacred tree, the lake that big was not too guarded by the Elves. Making the holy lake water collection possible to do.
But Lucas wanted more than that.
Recently, together with his students, he learned that the creation of a legendary potion that only exists in fairy tales is possible. As long as the materials used are high-level materials.
"Elixir?" Leo asked while narrowing his eyes. He felt like he had just heard something really big right before his eyes.
"That's right. Elixir is a herb that only exists in legends and fairy tales. It is said that his ability can even make a person who has just died for a few minutes come back to life." Lucas.
'A potion that can revive? What the fuck?!'
Leo's face was filled with shock. A myriad of questions now appeared within his head. But nevertheless....
"Lucas! I'm done shopping! Can you put it in here?" Asked the girl standing beside the door of the Guild Hall.
It was a long way from Lucas. That's why he needs to scream a little.
He has a very charming face with blonde hair braided. While the clothes themselves are white robes with a star emblem with 4 corners and several other small stars around it.
"Aah! Waita minute! I'll be done soon!" Reply Lucas.
"All right! I'll wait outside!" Reply to the girl.
Look at the girl....
"Church priest?" Leo asked Lucas with a look that noticed the figure of the girl leaving the Guild Hall.
"Well, that's how. Remember my words just now? He is my student. We are together trying to create this potion. If it works, I'm sure the heroes and warriors of Eastfort can fight more freely." Obviously Lucas stood up immediately.
He seemed to want to say something but seemed to have difficulty conveying it.
Realizing that, Leo only smiled faintly as he spoke.
"You can catch up with him. After all, I've obtained something far more valuable than 1,000 platinum coins at once." Said Leo as he placed his right hand on top of the thick book.
"You're serious?" Lucas asked as if he could not believe that what he had to answer to his helper was just a short chat for half an hour and loaned him a book.
Without answering, Leo simply nodded his head that had been leaning against his left fist.
"Thank you very much, Leo! I will remember your service and reply to it later!"
Immediately after saying that, Lucas immediately left this Guild Hall.
'Tap 'em! Taps! Aap!'
From a distance, Artemis and Selene approach Leo.
"My master...."
"The leo? What the hell just happened?"
With a wide smile, Leo immediately replied to him.
"In short, I found a formula to double money easily."
"Is that so? Congratulations, Milord. I'm sure all your hard work will pay off." Reply Selene while slightly lowering her head.
And Artemis?
"Double money?! How-how?! Teach me quickly!" Shouted while shaking Leo's body.
......***......
...Outside the Guild Hall...
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Lucas said to the girl in the uniform of a priest.
"No problem for me. But how? Did you get someone who wants to go to the Elf Continent?" Asked the girl while starting to walk beside her.
A fairly wide smile was seen on Lucas' face when he heard the question.
"You're not gonna believe this. But a merchant named Leo gave 48 platinum coins for someone to take the mission. Isn't that crazy?" Lucas said with a light laugh.
"W-what?! You serious?! Wow, looks like we got lucky this time. We've tried many times to install the Quest in various cities, haven't we?"
"Seriously, I myself cannot believe it. Instead, he asked me a few things about my mission. And also I lent you a guidebook to make that potion." Answer Lucas.
"Did? Then how will I learn later?"
"Just calm. All that knowledge is already in this head. So it won't interfere with your training, Reina." Said Lucas while lightly patting his head.
