After going to the monster field level 60-70 located not far from the city of Shakrun, Augustus fought the monster there for 30 minutes and managed to raise the level by 20 levels.
"Pheww..raising 20 levels is already this late..." Augustus Mumbles
Everyone who was around the field, or rather other adventurers who were raising their levels, it was fixated on Alan who could easily defeat the swarm of Worms over and over again to raise his level quickly.
"Thank you for the hard work, are you satisfied now?" Lina asked the exhausted Augustus.
"Ah, it seems like my limit is only this much. Raising 20 levels in 30 minutes is not bad, is it?" Augustus.
"Yes, you managed to do it fast, not bad." Reply Lina.
Monster field occupied by Augustus is currently set in a desert where the main monster that became the target material is Sand Worm (Sandworm)
Where the sandworm itself emerges from under the sand and attacks the adventurers who are at the top using their sharp teeth.
Incidentally, the Augus element that was fire was the main weakness for the sandworm, so the attack that Augus made had a very heavy damaging impact on the Sandworm he was fighting.
It also makes him level up quickly so he can raise 20 levels in just 30 minutes.
But even so, August originally planned to raise his level until it reached level 100. But because he was exhausted after raising 20 levels, August decided to continue later.
"So, what are your plans after this?" Ask Lina.
"My plan? hmm..let me think about it."
August thought about what he wanted to do after raising his current level.
"It looks like I'm going to conquer the dungeon after this." Augustus.
"Dungeons? do you want to look for rare items there?" Ask Lina.
"Yes, that's what I mean. But with my current equipment, it looks like it's more than enough, right?" Augustus.
"Yes, that's right. But in addition to equipment, dungeons also store other unique items" explained Lina
"Other unique items? for example?" Ask Augustus
"For example, there is an item called a teleport device which is a device that can move yourself to where you have marked." Clarify Lina.
"Eh? in seriously? an item like that exists?" August surprised.
"Yes, it is one of the rarest items you can find in a dungeon, then there are others as well such as invisible cloak, Wings of Heaven, Restoration Ring......" Lina continued to continue her explanation.
August listened carefully to Lina's explanation as she spoke, and Augustus thought if he could get one of the dungeon's rare items, his life would be much more effective and easier than it is today.
"If I could get that teleportation device, I wouldn't have to walk all the way and go to the place I've been tagging at any time, would I?" Think of Augustus in the heart.
After listening fully to Lina's explanation for 10 minutes more, Augustus was determined to finally decide his next goal.
"Yes! I've decided! my next goal is to get the rare dungeon item you mentioned before-"
"Excuse me, can I ask you for a minute?" Said a man behind Augustus.
Before August could finish his sentence, a man wearing a head covering asked him from behind.
"Um...I apologize but...who are you?" Ask Augustus.
The man wearing the head covering was silent for a while after listening to August's question, then after a while, the man opened the head covering he was wearing and exposed his face.
"My name is Gilfost, I'm an adventurer around here. I wonder if I can ask for your help? o adventurer with great power?" Gilfost said, bowing his body.
After a while of seeing Gilfost, Augustus asked him.
"Asking for help? can you tell me what kind of help you mean?" Ask Augustus.
"The help I meant was to escort someone, that person was currently planning to go to the far northern Kingdom of Varisis. And since the journey was dangerous, I asked for your help to escort her all the way there. Of course, I'll offer you enough rewards if you accept." Gilfost.
August thought for a moment before replying to Gilfost, but the first thing he thought of was rejecting him. Because he himself planned to obtain the dungeon item which was a goal he had made before.
"I'm sorry but.but I've been planning for myself-"
"How much is the reward?" Ask Lina.
Shortly before August finished his sentence to reject the offer, Lina interrupted him.
"The total return is 40,000 gold. 20,000 to escort the man, and 20,000 more when he gets there."
"40-40,000 gold?!" Shouted Augustus not believing the porch widened his eyes.
40,000 gold itself is equivalent to 60,000 dollars or 900 million rupiah if nominalized.
It was money that could make Augus live lazing around if he wanted to, or even buy rare gear like the previous level 5 Holy sacred armor that he bought at auction.
He also did not need to make any more money, and he could even buy a luxurious mansion if he wanted to.
"Hows it? did you guys take it?" Ask Gilfost.
"We accept it." Answer Lina.
"Young-hey! shouldn't I be the one to answer it?" Grunts Augustus.
"Then it's decided, I'll escort you to that person now." Gilfost.
"okay." Answer Lina.
"Hey!" Shouted Augustus
Unheard by Lina and Gilfost, August is forced to follow Lina and Gilfost who go to the person he will start with.
