Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 94: Winter Adventure!
Meanwhile in Cliff City, Earl Clifford's seat of power...
BRAKK!!! the sound of a slammed table filled the Workspace of Stevenson Clifford, the now-uncontented Earl of Clifford slamming the table, punching one of his servants unconscious.
he was in a rage. Only this time he was bothered by many things.the cash that began to empty, food reserves are dwindling, and most importantly, his main heir and only child, Alex Clifford, with a very strange disease. The best priest in the kingdom had been summoned from the capital to cure his son's illness but it was all in vain.
Stevenson sat back at his desk, which had been returned to his original position by his servants, repeatedly swearing an oath out of his mouth.
"Damn! Damnit damnit! Damnit damnit! Damnit damnit! Those people are completely unreliable! whether the Priests were useless, the stingy nobles, and the commoners, Everything was useless!"
His allure ended with his breakthrough at the table.he blamed Aurellia for the situation now.If he did not take away the many commoners present in his area of power, things would not be like this.
Stevenson, like other royals, feared losing his greatest source of income, which was why he restricted special in-and-out access for his subjects. he feared that many of his residents would sneak into the merchants' carts and out of his territory.
well, Stevenson finally realized that what he was doing was disastrous for his own power, but it was too late.he did relax back in and out of the city of Cliff as usual, but no merchants came to his territory.he tried to ask for help from nobles se-fractionnya but they only give help alasnya.this really made Stevenson frustrated.
once again, the sound of a table shake followed by a frustrating mockery filled Stevenson's study.

"Huh, take the Quest during the winter break later?" Now I was enjoying dinner with my four best friends when James proposed to take on the mission of the Adventurers Guild during the holidays.
hmmm...I don't think it's a bad idea anyway.because lately I've been busy with a lot of things, we rarely take on missions as a party. This is a great idea! but I need confirmation from the others.
"I don't mind. Besides Isaac, I rarely go to the Adventurers Guild. I don't have many activities during the holidays either. So there's no problem."
after saying that, I saw Evelyn also nod. Evelyn was just like James, he needed some extra money for the holidays later.well, it seems that James will also enjoy his vacation in the Sera region anyway so he did not intend to take on too many requests.
"Okay, then it's decided! next month, we'll go hunting! hey Issac, don't forget to set up your own gear okay. I don't want the first time we go on an adventure to happen again."
I pissed off the head of James.

the holiday has arrived! almost all the students decided to return to their hometown.whether it was Nobles or ordinary people.The academy became busy in a different sense.they were all very enthusiastic about this holiday.well, the academy became busy in a different sense, who doesn't love a holiday?
but not all can go home to where they came from. Some students decide to stay in the academy city or to Venz. they will usually look for a side job. therefore the La-Sa Guild that was in the capital and the academy city had opened a special job vacancy for them. Usually at times like this we are busier than usual. therefore the presence of these disciples was a blessing!
of course including the ones not coming home are me, Anna, James, and Evelyn. Like some of the other students, we decided to look for a side job by being adventurous.well, we decided to find a side job, actually it's not necessary for me, but being an adventure is a man's fantasy right!? so this is fun!
today, we decided to go to the adventurer Guild while the snow was not too thick after all the wind was still calm.if we did not go to the guild now, it was afraid that a snowstorm would even come down first. it was a bad idea to break through the storm just because it wanted to go to the guild.
arriving at the guild, we headed straight to the board filled with paper containing quest.hmmm.this was varied.the mission was also relatively not difficult.but to develop my party's combat abilities, as usual, as usual, it should be a rather difficult mission for them.
who was looking for a mission for me and James. while Anna and Evelyn were chatting with a receptionist.I did not expect that my three best friends were already familiar with the coldest receptionist present in the Academy City Guild. if it's not wrong, her name is Susan.
"See this Issac! looks like this one could too!" I looked at the paper appointed by James. uwahh, the Snow Ogre eradication mission? And the place is one of the villages in the Clifford region?
I nodded at James. he was Right. This monster might be in Grade two. this could be good training for everyone. We took the paper and handed it to the receptionist.
"Ara, James and co took on a pretty difficult mission apparently. That Snow Ogre is a second grade monster, not that I hesitate with your strength, but be careful."
wahh, he looked at James as if this child was his own sister! and James doesn't seem to mind it, but Evelyn looks a little upset. I want to laugh but it's not good to laugh at other people!
Susan began to explain some things about Ogre Snow, which I caught from her explanation more or less like this. Snow Ogres were basically not too different from other Ogres. only, their bodies were covered by white-colored fur.they had the advantage of fighting in snowy areas and had immunity to cold. that was what made the Snow Ogre more difficult to deal with when compared to ordinary Ogres.
if I think, maybe their form is a little similar to yetti maybe? well more or less like that.we nodded after hearing the explanation from Susan. The limit of this mission is next Sunday.we decided to finish this as soon as possible, so we decided to leave for three more days.
alright, let's go back to the academy and get ready! this mission will be something very exciting, at least that's my hope.
