Chapter 27

After being categorized and filtered by the guild, the quests that were posted were not based on the rewards, but purely based on the difficulty and danger of the quest.

In other words, the higher the level of the mission, the more difficult and dangerous it would be to complete it. At the same time, the reward would be higher.

However, this was not absolute.

Among the low-level missions, there were also some missions with high rewards.

Although these commissions were not dangerous and were not difficult to complete, they required a lot of time and a lot of luck to complete. There were even some that required specific conditions to complete.

For example, among the Iron missions, there was a mission to teach weapons to the children of aristocrats. The requirement was that an Adventurer who had reached a certain level in the corresponding weapon skill could accept it. The mission would only be considered completed when the Adventurer had taught the other party the skill. The reward was 30 gold coins, which was quite generous.

A mission with such a high reward would usually not be classified as a high-level mission due to the fact that it was not dangerous or impossible to complete. Even an Iron-ranked Level 1 Adventurer would be able to accept it.

However, as mentioned before, ordinary people would usually need to spend a few years to learn skills.

Unless the other party was a genius, accepting the mission would mean that it would take a few years to complete it.

And if the person being taught was mediocre and had no talent at all, it would be even more impossible to learn no matter how many years of teaching. In the end, it would lead to the failure of the mission. Not only would a lot of time be wasted, but they would also not be paid.

Therefore, the level of the mission depended on the difficulty and danger of completing it.

Due to this reason, the last three missions that Vivian's team accepted were the kind that could be completed in a short period of time, but were somewhat difficult.

Such missions were generally of a higher level, and the reward was also comparable to low-level safety missions that required a few years to complete. However, at the same time, they were also dangerous.

However, looking at the relaxed expressions of Vivian and the others, this level of mission should not be a problem for them, right?

Otherwise, Vivian and the others would not want to accept three missions in one go.

Of course, the reason why they accepted three missions in one go was also because the completion path of the three missions was the same.

"There is a medium-sized source of magic in the Mangal Mountains where the Fire Lizards live, and the main road to the northern town of Freysia is also the only way to get to the Mangal Mountains. Therefore, these three missions can be completed together."

Vivian explained to Sean, letting him understand that adventurers' adventures were usually like this, where they would take on several commissions in one go depending on the purpose.

Originally, Shien thought that the missions accepted by adventurers would be like most games and novels, where they would accept and complete them one by one. However, in reality, accepting several missions in one go seemed to be the norm for adventurers.

Just like Vivian said, since there was a medium-sized source of magic in the Mangal Mountains where the Fire Lizards lived, and the main road to the northern town of Freysia was also the only way to get to the Mangal Mountains, the main road to the northern town of Freysia, these three missions could be completed together, right?

Because of that, when adventurers accepted a mission, not only did they have to choose a mission of suitable difficulty based on their own strength and conditions, they also had to think about how they could complete the mission in a better, faster, and more convenient manner.

Apart from that, adventurers also needed to know all sorts of knowledge in order to complete missions.

For example, the three missions that Vivian's party accepted this time, such as what the source of magic was, where it usually appeared, how to peel off the Fire Lizards' skin after killing them, and how to get rid of the Blood-sucking Vines, were all required knowledge. Otherwise, even if they were strong, it would still be difficult to complete the mission.

This made Sean realize once again that reality was reality, and it was still different from novels and games. Not everyone could make a living as an adventurer.

Under such circumstances, Vivian's team left the guild under the watchful eyes of the crowd with the three commissions that had been completed.

… …

"That's right."

After leaving the guild, Vivian suddenly looked at Shien before she could move towards the city gate of Lamagegion.

"Don't you need to gather some equipment before you set off?"

Vivian could not be blamed for saying that.

Adventurers had to enter places filled with magical beasts to carry out missions. They would encounter all sorts of dangerous groups, so it was naturally better for them to be well-equipped and high-leveled.

Putting aside the fact that Vivian was wearing heavy, airtight armor, she should at least be equipped with some sort of defensive gear, right?

Lumia, for example, was wearing light leather armor that didn't hinder her movements too much. Tierre, on the other hand, seemed to be wearing a chest protector, wrist protector, and knee protector under her black robe. Only Merica was wearing a magic robe, but the magic waves emanating from it were quite remarkable. It was most likely an extraordinary magic tool.

On the other hand, apart from carrying a long bag, Shien was wearing casual black clothes that he had picked out at random. He looked more like a traveler than an adventurer.

It was no wonder that Vivian would suggest going on an adventure like this.

"If you're short on money, I can help you if it's within my means."

The meaning behind Vivian's words was obvious. She meant that she could lend Sean the money to gather the equipment.

In this regard, Shien was a little hesitant.

In fact, it was not that Shien had not considered this problem.

It was just that …

(Putting aside the fact that the protection from using the holy sword won't hurt me, even if I don't use the holy sword, with the [Physical Resistance] and [Magic Resistance] skills, I don't feel like I need any defensive gear at all.)

These two skills had been raised to the maximum level by Shien, so even if they were not as illegal as the holy sword which could reduce damage by 99%, Shien felt that unless it was a terrifying big shot, it would be difficult for them to harm him.

In this case, why would he still need defensive gear?

But …

"Putting defensive gear aside, I do need a weapon."

Shien expressed to Vivian.

"Weapon?"

At this moment, not only Vivian, but even Tierre, Lumia, and Merica who had been silent all this while felt a little strange.

Vivian asked doubtfully.

"Aren't you carrying a weapon?"

Vivian was naturally referring to the long bag that Shien was carrying.

No matter how one looked at it, it was a weapon, right?

However, Shien touched his nose.

"This weapon of mine isn't very useful, it's better not to use it."

That was what Shien said.
