Chapter 565 New Chain Quest
-----
For now, we had to grab some materials within the surroundings of the town and then get back to make an Elixir. We might take more than I had thought, so we\'ll perhaps get it done tomorrow by night, but everything should be smooth sailing!
…I hope.
Ding!
[A New Quest has been generated!]
[A Special [Chain Quest] has been generated: [Create a Powerful Elixir To Heal Saphaley\'s Scar]
[You\'ve promised Saphaley to heal his Scar, and now the young elf is filled with expectations of such a thing accomplishing, mostly trusting you as you\'re the daughter of the Saint. However, expectations can only go so far!]
[However, making an Elixir strong enough to heal his scar is no laughing matter. To do so, you must gather the specific materials to make the Elixir. If you want additional rewards, create an Elixir in less than three days.]
[Completion Rewards: [25000 EXP] [25000 Shared EXP] [Alchemy Skill Proficiency Potion (D Grade)] x3 [Fire Dragon Flower (D Grade)] x2]
[Time Limit: 3 Days]
[Definitions] [Chain Quests]: [Although it is not possible to take more than two Main Quests at the same time, Chain Quests are directly involved and connected with the success of the Main Quest and can offer more rewards the larger the Main Quest\'s requirements are.]
"These are Chain Quests! It seems that the challenge of making an Elixir has become a Quest by itself directly related with the Main Quest to heal that man\'s scar." Alice said.
"I can see that… I guess I\'ll have to do it if I want those rewards…" I sighed. "I feel like the Quest System is only going to make me do even more crazy stuff while making me become greedier."
"Oh, that\'s for sure! Do your best! I\'ll help you in anything you need. Well, we\'ll help you." She said.
Ah, I guess I can\'t really find solace in her, she\'s just as greedy as I am, most likely!
"Hey how about we pick up some quests while we are at it? We\'ll kill a lot of birds with one stone." Zack said excitedly. "I kind of want to make some money out of this."
"Good idea Zack!" Mist said. "Let\'s complete something together!"
"Sounds good. We can find or hunt whatever in the way and earn more profits and Adventurer Guild\'s Renown like that." Celeste said. "Been a while since we registered but we are all still F Rank."
"Right…" I said. "Alright, let\'s go there, but let\'s not take too long though…"
"Despite there being few adventurers in this town, there\'s at least over half a hundred of them so that small building\'s always filled." Aquarina sighed.
"Most of what they do is hunting monsters and selling their carcasses…" I sighed.
"Yeah, it would be nice if they did something more than just hunting for once." Celeste answered. "There\'s lots of other problems out there."
"Well this whole town started as a Hunter\'s Village, so what the majority can do best is hunting the monsters from the nearest forest or the grassy plains." I said. "Elves live very long so traditions often are always kept and society become stagnant. That\'s why we are here, I guess."
We quickly opened the door of the Adventurer\'s guild, as we were greeted with several glares from all around the building. Burly men quickly gave us some piercing glares, beautiful magician ladies, and even younglings around our age doing errands or picking up medicinal herbs or hunting small horned rabbits.
"It sure is cramped as always here." Aquarina said.
"Hey there\'s a lot of people today too." Celeste looked around.
"Ugh, I can\'t get used to the glares yet…" Zack said.
The adventurers of course didn\'t meant anything bad; they were always just shocked when we showed up. It is not something normal to see a Noble Lady like me walking inside this place.
"That red hair…"
"It is Young Lady Sylphy again?"
"She came with her friends…"
"Oi keep it low, if you offend the Duchess\' daughter you\'re dead!"
They were just afraid, I guess.
"Hic… What is a group of cute little girls doing in this place~?"
However, someone suddenly got in the way, a tall half-elf guy with a missing ear and short purple hair. His entire build made him look like he was sick or skeletal, but it results he had always been this way.
"Oi Jack don\'t be an idiot!"
"Man he\'s drunk…"
"He\'s so fucking dead…"
"What\'s wrong young girls~?" He laughed off. Looking at us with eyes filled with a bit of degeneracy.
"Hello Jack, are you drunk again?" I sighed.
"Huh? Why are you calling me by my name you damn brat?!" He asked angrily, suddenly pointing his beer-filled jug at me. "Hic… Ah!"
However he quickly felt a strong grip holding his arm, Celeste was right there, her eyes glowing red.
"Fuck off."
"HYYEEEHHHH?! D-Demon! Demon!"
He quickly ran away out of pure fear. I always think he\'s mentally unstable. Maybe I should deal with him next.
"Hey, did you had to be so rude?" I reprimanded her.
"What? Are you seriously forgiving that damn drunk guy?" Celeste sighed.
"Well whatever…" I sighed.
"Damn that guy managed to live another day…"
"He better show up tomorrow to apologize."
"Young Lady\'s merciful."
The adventurers always were afraid of me even though I was only trying to get closer with them. My authority really gets on the way of making friends most of the time.
…Unless it is some drunk guy like Jack.
"W-Welcome to the Adventurer\'s guild, Young Lady Sylph! It is a pleasure to see you!" A blue haired receptionist with ears resembling gills and pale green skin and blue scales greeted us. She was clearly not an elf, but a Mermaid Anima, or as some call them, Fish People.
"Hello Saphira! You\'re looking as gorgeous as ever." I said. "Did the hydrating cream worked?"
"Yes it did! My gills don\'t itch anymore and I also don\'t need to drink as much water through the day." She said happily. "Thanks a lot for making it for me and selling it so cheap for me, young Lady!"
"Ahaha, no problem! We came to pick up some easy quests-"
BAAM!
Aquarina and the rest quickly walked into the table and put over several papers which were guild requests of extermination and gathering.
"We want all of these!" Aquarina said.
"A-Ahahah… Going over the top as usual… Well, if you complete all of these I think you might qualify to Rank up to E Rank! So do your best!" Saphira said.
"We\'ll do!"
