A few days later, the leader of the Mercenary Association, Bollands, sent someone to bring the three of us to the Mercenary Association. When we arrived at the plaza outside the Mercenary Association, I was deeply shocked by the huge statue in front of me.
"Who is this person?" I had never seen such a majestic statue before.
"He's not a human, he's a god. He's the God of War, Arenac," Natalia said patiently.
We arrived at the leader's room and saw him working on a desk. I thought the leader of the Mercenary Association would be about the same age as Hiseside The Elder, but President Bollands was much older than I had imagined.
His hair was white, and even his beard was white. However, he was a kind old man because he always had a smile on his face.
I gave him the letter that Hiseside The Elder had asked me to give to President Bollands before I left the Demon Hunter's Blade. This letter had been with me for a long time, and it had accompanied me through everything. I carefully stored it away for this moment. Although the envelope of the letter was crumpled, I still delivered it to Berlands unopened. This meant that my first bounty mission was finally completed. I could ask Hiseside The Elder for a reward when I returned. It seemed that all my hard work had not been in vain.
After President Bollands received the letter, he opened the wax seal with Hiseside The Elder's seal and took out the letter to read.
At the beginning, Bollands frowned, but as he read on, his expression became less serious. Instead, he became more relaxed.
I didn't know what was written on the letter because I had never opened the envelope.
After Bollands finished reading the letter, he burned it in the oil lamp next to the table. Just like that, no one except Bollands and Hiseside The Elder knew what was written on the letter.
"Young man, I believe you already know your background," President Bollands said.
"Yes, I came to the Deep Sea Fortress a few days earlier by chance, and found out about my background there."
"Coincidence? No, no, this is your destiny. Since you already know your background, then let me tell you what your destiny is! "
Avina and Natalia hadn't said a word since they entered the room. They felt bored standing by the side. However, when they heard the words' Bloody Castle ', their attention was immediately focused.
That's right, President Bollands told us that the Black Dragon incident wasn't a coincidence. It was just the beginning. What we had to do was to go to a place called Haiya Castle in the Northland to search for something very important. Of course, Haiya Castle now had a new name, Bloody Castle.
Just hearing this name made people feel uncomfortable. It seemed to me that Berlands was speaking in such general terms that I was a little confused. But he told me that fate is sometimes like this. It sneaks up on you before you're ready.
Finally, Berlands told us. There is already a mercenary group called Night Rose waiting for us there. They will provide us with relevant information and help.
There's no time to lose. We must start at once.
Just like that, we boarded a ship to the Northland that same day. The three of us returned to Grizzly Bear Town and arrived at Bauhinia Manor. We found that everyone had already decorated the place. Our Demon Hunter's Blade finally had a home that belonged to us.
Hiseside The Elder was very happy to see us return. That night, he had everyone hold a banquet in the manor to welcome us. Everyone was very happy because this banquet was also to celebrate the Demon Hunter's Blade's successful move.
I also finally received the reward for my first bounty mission. Although it wasn't much, it was a form of trust and affirmation. I was very happy and drank a little too much. I held Avina's hand and danced at the banquet. I wasn't careful and almost fell down. After the dance, I brought Avina alone to a parlor. I told her to close her eyes. I wanted to give her a surprise.
Avina's little face was pink because she drank a little too much. She looked very cute. I took out the gifts that I wanted to give her from my spatial ring. Then I told her to open her eyes. I gave the four gifts that I prepared to Avina. Avina was so happy that she didn't know what to do. The four gifts were the Bow of Snowfall, the Dagger of Thorns, the Boots of Lightness, and the Elven Leather Armor. That's right, these were all things that I brought back from the Mermaid Princess Alice's treasure trove. Every item was priceless and had a price but no supply.
First of all, the Bow of Snowfall can be contracted with blood. It can appear in the hands of the user at any time. Normally, it won't appear. In this aspect, it was similar to my spatial ring. What's even more amazing is that it doesn't need to use arrows. As long as the user provides a bit of mana, it can release the powerful spell 'Frost Arrow'. As the user's mana increases, the power of the Frost Arrow will also increase. As for the Dagger of Thorns, it was a beautifully crafted and incomparably sharp dagger. At the same time, when danger approaches, it will emit a red light as a warning.
The Boots of Lightness is just like its name, it can increase the user's agility and speed. As for the Elven Leather Armor, it was the one that I wore before. I felt that it was more suitable to give it to Avina because it could be said to be invulnerable. Each of the four gifts had a significant background. Ai Weina also knew the importance of these gifts in her heart.
She accepted them and said that she wanted to give me a gift as well. She told me to close my eyes.
I did as she said and closed my eyes. Suddenly, a moist and sweet kiss landed on my face. It was as if I was in a dream. Avina and I were eating the forbidden fruit for the second time under the moonlight.
On the second day, I received a new bounty mission. This time, it was a C rank mission. Bounty missions were divided into S, A, B, C, and D ranks. S rank was the highest and D rank was the lowest. The higher the rank, the higher the danger, and the higher the bounty. Looking at this mission, it was a C rank mission, so the bounty was dozens of gold coins. However, the lowest reward for an S rank mission was tens of thousands of gold coins. However, it was said that no one had been able to complete it yet. Moreover, mercenary groups hadn't received any S rank missions yet.
For this mission, I'll still go with Aveena. We'll follow Bollands' instructions and head to Seaside Castle to meet with the Night Rose mercenary group. After that, we'll help them find that important item.
However, we didn't know what it was.
Avina and I immediately headed to Seaside Castle in Wilson's territory. We arrived at a small town not far from Seaside Castle. The sky was getting dark and we could only find an inn to stay for the night.
Because it was night time, the inn was filled with people. There were all kinds of people here, a mix of good and bad. A burly man sat opposite me and Avina. He was drinking alone. The man's eyes stared straight at Aveena, and Aveena was a little angry.
"Why do you keep staring at me? Is there something on my face?"
"Alright, don't argue with him. It's not like you'll lose a piece of meat just by looking. Besides, we're not here to fight." In order to not cause trouble, I could only persuade Ai Wina to sit quietly in her seat.
"Innkeeper, may I know how to get to Seaside Castle? How far is it from here?" I stood up and asked the innkeeper.
"What? Seaside Castle? It's not called Seaside Castle anymore. It's called Bloody Castle. It's an extremely dangerous place. I advise you not to go there. "From the innkeeper's frightened expression, I could tell that this place wasn't ordinary.
"Just tell me how to get there. Don't worry about anything else." My attitude was a little tough.
"After you leave, follow the main road and head north. You'll see an abandoned village. Head west for half a day and you'll reach it."
Avina and I stayed in the inn for the night. The next morning, we followed the innkeeper's instructions and headed north to find the Night Rose mercenary group.
However, we didn't expect that five or six bandits would jump out of the forest.
"Stop! Where are you going? I'm short on money. Hand over anything valuable," a burly man with a scar over his eye said to us.
