I was sure that we were surrounded by a large group of Undead, and I recognized the face of one of the Undead. That was because the Undead had tried to rob us when he was alive, and I killed him with my own hands. Yes, that was the bandit I killed. But for some reason, he was standing in front of me again, but he was no longer human.
In an instant, the members of the mercenary group surrounded the non-combatants to protect them. Everyone took out their weapons and prepared to fight the Undead.
But for some reason, the Undead suddenly disappeared in front of us without a trace.
We were alarmed for nothing, so we hurried on our way. We didn't want to stay here any longer.
But even so, I still couldn't calm down. What was the reason for these dead people to become Undead and continue to harm the human world? And why did the Black Dragon suddenly descend?
With so many questions in mind, we arrived at Ursa Town. The guards at the gate stopped us and wanted to interrogate us to prevent us from being spies sent by the Empire.
Hissed told us to go through the guards' inspection, and after the guards found nothing, they let us go.
We temporarily placed the supplies on the carriage in an open space in the town. Hissed brought Natalia, Flants and I to the Lord's residence, Bauhinia Manor.
The guards at the manor immediately stopped us when they saw us. Natalia told the guards why we were here, and the guards motioned for us to wait for a while. They wanted to report to the Lord.
After a while, the guards who went to report to the Lord came back and indicated that we could enter, but we had to leave our weapons here.
Just like that, the four of us arrived at the Lord's room.
Horf was seriously looking at the map on the table. When he saw us enter, he put down the map and walked over.
"You're the leader of the Demon Hunter's Blade?" Horf was surprised that the Old Hissed only had one arm.
"Yes, I'm the third leader of the Demon Hunter's Blade."
"Good, now I really need your strength. I'll get straight to the point. Things are like this. Ever since the Black Dragon incident, the areas under our Northern Alliance's jurisdiction have suddenly been filled with monsters. We need a force to help us clear these obstacles so that our army can fight the Empire with peace of mind. You guys are just right for the job. But don't worry, I'll get the local officials to create a bounty list for the monsters they find. The reward will be based on the monster's strength. How about this? Every time you kill a monster, I'll pay you the corresponding commission. How about that? "
"Since Sir Lord is so sincere, we agree."
"Oh, right, I almost forgot. I have a gift for you. I'm about to leave Great Bear Town. This Bauhinia Manor was originally a noble's private manor, so I'll give it to your mercenary group to use. Also, I will inform the local magistrates to recognize the legitimacy of your organization, but only in Northland. As for the Empire, I won't restrict you as long as you don't help them. "
"Alright, Sir Lord, it's decided then."
This matter went unexpectedly smoothly, but Hissed looked a little worried.
At night, all of us temporarily stayed in Great Bear Inn. The entire inn was almost booked by us.
I couldn't sleep, so I went to Hissed's room. I saw that the Old Hissed still couldn't change his habit of reading books.
"You don't seem happy?" I said first.
"Child, you're here. Come, sit down."
I found a chair and sat beside Hissed.
"Actually, I just received the news recently. I have a clue about the mystery of your origins. "Hissed's mood was a little complicated.
"Really?"
"An old friend of mine sent this information to me through a messaging crystal ball in Partheni Island. He told me that there's a secret buried in the Deep Sea Castle in the Sinka Subterranean Sea. You have to go there personally to solve the mystery of your origins. "
"How did he know about this?" I was a little curious. I knew that the messaging crystal ball was a magic tool made by mages. It could transmit sound and images over a long distance. However, the magic crystals it consumed were very expensive, so it wasn't used unless there was a big problem.
"He's a great prophet. He can see things that many people can't."
"You really want me to go there for this prophecy?"
"Maybe it can really answer your question. You have to meet this old friend of mine while you're at it. We need their help. Otherwise, we won't be able to deal with this sudden darkness with our own strength."
"Who's your old friend?"
"Bollands, the current leader of the Mercenary Association."
"Really? Alright, I'll go to Partheni Island. "
"This will be your first bounty mission. Complete it well and report the situation to Bollands. When you return, I'll reward you handsomely." Old Cesaede patted my shoulder and said, "That's your first bounty mission.
"Alright," I agreed excitedly to Hissed's request.
The next day, I bid farewell to everyone and brought my equipment to complete my first bounty mission. The members of the mercenary group looked at me reluctantly. However, most of them were envious that I could contribute to the mercenary group by completing bounty missions so quickly.
I didn't see Avina in the crowd. To be honest, I was starting to like this cute girl more and more.
I hurried to the Byron Bay Pier in the south. It was now under the control of the Northern Alliance. Then, I boarded the merchant ship to Partheni Island.
I still couldn't forget what Old Hissed said to me before I left.
"Take care of yourself. This is your first time completing a mission alone. You have to be careful. As for this mission, you just have to bring this letter to Bollands. He'll tell you what to do next. "
I waved goodbye to everyone who was sending me off. I suppressed my emotions. I had to be strong. Don't worry, I'll definitely return successfully!
The ship had already sailed far away from the pier. I was wondering where Avina had gone. How could she not appear?
At this moment, a slender hand was placed on my back.
"Why are you so sad?"
I turned around. It was Avina! I was overjoyed. I didn't expect her to come.
"You … did Old Hissed agree?"
"Don't you welcome me? President Cessede agreed to it, and he even asked me to protect you! "
"Haha, thank you so much for protecting me." I went forward and hugged Avina's waist.
"You're so annoying. I'm going to ignore you." Avina blushed like a ripe apple.
"Hehe, I didn't expect to be accompanied by such a beauty on this mission," I joked.
"If you continue like this, I'm going to ignore you," Avina said shyly.
Just like that, we embarked on our journey to Partheni Island.
