The party is online once again!
The ID and party bracelet registration didnt take too long, as we only needed to pour our mana into the [Crystal of the Divine System], and without further ado, our party was officially back.
These party bracelets are the newest model, lia explained. Aside from the essential functions like party creation, experience sharing, ID tracking, Quest list, ID reader, mana storing, notes, and verification, these bracelets allow you to use the platoon party function, which allows you to register up to twenty people at once. Your mana is registered to these bracelets, so please be aware they can only be used by their respective owners.
I looked down at my wrist on which I was now wearing a pristine white bracelet, contrasting the crude iron one I used to wear. Touching it, the material felt tough like stone but soft to the touch from the high-quality craftsmanship, reminding of the bathtub I bathed in during my stay at Ellaines. lia had just explained to it was a mineral called Fairnite, a white stone known for its ability to insulate mana. Due to its beautiful white appearance, reminding of a mix between marble and listone, it was very popular among nobles as a furniture material.
Aside from the difference in materials, this bracelet also had an emblem of a black dragons head surrounded by flas in a crescent moon shape on it, which was the royal crest of my family and also Kargryxmors religious symbol. Hiding in plain sight. As I was a dragonewt in this form, people would believe I was a worshipper of Kargryxmor instead of a royal family mber. And, if I ever had to use it, I could always tell people vice versa.
The symbol was on all three bracelets, as Saori and Tasianna were treated as my retainers, but there was also Zephiras rainbow-colored butterfly symbol on Tasiannas and Aurenas angel woman on mine, to symbolize the origin gods we were aligned to, although Tasianna was currently a Plesia worshipper. Saoris was left blank, as they didnt know who to choose, but I was sure Marsven was an option due to Saoris dark magic.
Lastly, there was a sapphire blue core in the middle of the bracelet, responsible for displaying the ga-like blue nu.
All IDs are made with the mana of their owners and react less favorably to foreign mana. The crystal can easily identify this which makes it very difficult to fake ownership of an ID you do not own, lia answered Saoris worry that our cards might be stolen while our registration to the hunters guild was being completed. I was told these IDs will only function if its owner pours their mana into them, so there should be no chance of anybody else using it without your consent. They also possess the ability to hide information from [Identify], and from the crystals. Due to this feature, they are quite expensive, a minimum of two small goldite and five large silvite, so please do not lose them.
What?! Saori let out once she heard the price of these cards, horror-struck. Y-You are telling us these three cards cost 750 thousand Davi?! I-I-I have no words. Wait, how much do these party bracelets cost?
Apparently, the white party bracelets cost 85k Davi each which added up with the IDs to 1,005,000 Davi altogether, translating into one large goldite and five small silvite coins. Wow, lucky I made Count Helvas or sobody else pay them for in exchange for giving out my profile informationYou know, maybe I am the one who lost out on this deal, maybe?
1,005,000 Daviif I translate it one-to-one to yenguck Saoris pale face looked a bit worrying, especially with her twitching eye. Was she not used to holding this much money on hand?
Hmm, if it were 1,005,000 yen then that would beparallel minds quick math please! Ok, who am I kidding, I dont even know the conversion rate for it. All I know is that mama once told to simply subtract two zeros from it and Ill have my number, although, it wont be the exact one. Which ans, these three cards and bracelets cost us around 10,000 USD. Huh, thats a lot but I guess these things are similar to iPhones.
Ah, and they are finished. I thank you for your patience. Please, take them, lia stated, handing us our three black IDs before giving us a small bow. And with that, I would like to officially welco you to the hunters guild! I anticipate much from you three!
Adventurer ID, acquired!
The black rectangular ID felt firm in my hand, although, I should still watch my strength to not accidentally break it. The front of my ID was divided down the middle. On the right side, it had basic information, like my na, age, level, and job, while the left side was decorated by a large Kargryxmor emblem.
Rembering how Master Kush could morph the symbol on his ID, I activated [Mana Eyes] and began pouring mana into the symbol. Aside from getting a massive headache since the room was filled with adventures, whether they had a lot or little mana, I could confirm the chanism was similar to Master Kushs card. The emblem switched from Kargryxmors to Aurenas and then to one with a bow and sword entwined with each other, the exact one I saw outside the guild. This has to be the hunters guilds emblem.
These IDs and bracelets are also adaptable, so when a new model or function is released to the public, simply go to a dwarven manatechnician and they will fulfill your request. Unfortunately, the only branch in Artorias is in our capital, Griffonpeak, lia explained.
Alright, cool, very cool, but can we get our Jobs now?! I demanded with an excitent-filled voice, placing my hand on the counter and leaning forward.
Oh, of course, lia confird with a professional smile, undeterred of my childish enthusiasm. Please, place your hand on the crystal. Once it glows white, please, say Open Job nu and I will give everybody an explanation during the whole process.
As Saori and Tasianna simply shrugged at who should go first, I volunteered without a single delay. Placing my hand on the crystal, I called out Open Job nu once the crystal glowed white from stealing my mana. A blue screen projected from the crystal, once again showing how ga-like this world was.
Weekly Job Change Limit: 3/3
Previous Jobs:
Main Job: [None]
Weekly limit?
lia, there is a limit to how often I can change my Job in a single week?! But- this blows! I shouted in disappointnt.
lia shook her head at my complaint. The hunters guild cannot do anything about it, as this is a rule from the Divine System. The Origin Gods have set the rules, and we as their followers can only abide by them. However, please rest your worries, the restriction isnt too terrible once you learn the rest of the details. Please, put your finger on the nu and pull it down.
With Saori and Tasianna watching over my shoulders, blocking anybody from peeking, I did what lia instructed to do, muttering, This is so RPG-like, as more information ca into view after I scrolled down.
Available Jobs
[Freelancer] [Caster][Fighter] [Bard] [Scout] [Worker] [Academic] [Noble] [Scale-Dust User] [White Pyromancer] [Corrosive Pyromancer] [Usurper] [Champion of Aurena] [Crimson Saintess] [Idol]
Fuck, where did I get [Crimson Saintess] from?!
Lady Hestia, please pour your mana into this manatech. lia handed a small staff with a green ball on its top. Once I poured in a bit of mana into it, an invisible barrier flowed out from it.
[Air Shield]? I asked, knowing this sensation very well.
Correct, as you have the spell, you should be aware we dont have too much ti to speak before dispelling the shield, lia said. AnywayMay your soul stay eternally bright, champion and saintess of the Goddess of Light! It is wonderful to have confirmation! lia shouted in excitent, bowing before in a prayer pose. This action caught peoples attention, but most of them simply shrugged it off, probably since I looked like a priestess with my white robe.
After I told her to stop as I still didnt feel comfortable with my new role, lia explained this manatech was loaned to her by Farron, the hunters guild master, as it was necessary to work with due to the confidential information. Aside from wanting to keep it a secret myself, the kingdom did too. Why? Well, it seems I will get all my questions answered by Ellaine.
With that said, we went back to the Job nu. Although every Job after [Noble] was conspicuous, there were also a ton of Jobs I thought were missing. Rembering all the people Id identified who had a Job, I was 100% sure there should be more. There wasnt even [Mage], which Tasianna had.
Ah, the reason for that is because you must unlock them first, Lady Hestia, Tasianna chid in. Aside from the obvious ones, all of your current available Jobs are the beginner ones, the basics. Think of the Job system as a tree. The novice classes are the seed and every ti you acquire another Job, more branches of the original Job will unlock until you reach the end of the Job line. For example, you must first acquire [Caster] to obtain [Mage], and afterward, you can specialize your elental preference like [Wind Mage] and [Water Mage].
That is correct. Every Job has a specific requirent you must fulfill before it becos available. Aside from requiring the prerequisite Jobs, you must sotis acquire certain skills, reach a minimum stat line, obtain rit, or even, in your case, for example, possess blessings and titles, lia added. There is a book the guild can lend you if you wish to plan your route. Otherwise, if you would please choose a Job, I will continue with the benefits of gaining a Job.
Hmm, a Job, huh? I would like to get [Idol] first, but I think taking [Caster] first will increase the number of available Jobs. Seeing more Jobs will be so satisfying. I can take [Idol] later on, after all.
Job: Caster
Requirents: [Mana Control], [Arcane Mind]
Acquisition Benefits: Mana Increase, Intelligence Increase
Main Job Benefits: None
Caster
A novice magician who has taken their first step into the arcane. This class aids the novice by increasing the necessary stats to help them acquire their first [Magic] skill
The requirents are exactly what I expected you needed to beco a mage.
[Mana Control] to control mana and [Arcane Mind] to open up spell slots. [Arcane Corruption Resistance] wasnt necessary but every mage will one day get it if they cast too often. Feels good that I guessed it correctly in the first two months of my life here.
Whenever you acquire a Job, you will receive an imdiate boost in your stats or even acquire skill proficiencies. As you are aware, when the proficiency of a skill reaches a certain amount, you unlock or level up a skill, lia explained.
What is this Main Job Benefit? Saori asked, pointing at the bottom of the nu.
lia diligently nodded her head in confirmation and continued explaining once I deactivated the [Air Shield] manatech. Are the three of you aware of Job Skills, Job Abilities, Job Spells? Anybody can get as many Jobs as they wish, as they are only limited by the acquisition requirents and weekly limits, and their Job tiline will be noted down in the Previous Jobs column. However, the Main Job is the one you currently have, the one that will show on your profile and ID. If a Job offers a certain skill, you are only allowed to use that skill when you have that Job as your Main Job.
Woah, thats good to know. I presu we can always change the Job whenever we want, correct? I uttered, surprised to hear a chanic like that.
Yes, if you have access to a [Crystal of the Divine System]. Lady Hestia, if this is the Job you wish to acquire first, then please say I choose the Job and then your preferred one.
Nodding, I called out I choose the Job [Caster] and imdiately another System ssage ca flying into my head.
Will you change your Job to [Caster]?
Its been a long ti since you last asked sothing, System voice. Ja.
Individual [Sunfang Dragonewt, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor] has acquired Job [Caster]
Attributes have increased due to Job acquisition
Will you set Job [Caster] as your Main Job?
Ja.
Individual [Sunfang Dragonewt, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor] has switched her Main Job to [Caster]
Main Job benefits have been updated due to Job change
Caster Level: 0/5
Huh? Level?
Oh, that is one of the wonderful parts of the Job system, Lady Hestia. As you know, monsters can only grow in strength by leveling, performing strenuous activities, or evolving. Humanoids like beastn and elves, on the other hand, do not possess the ability to evolve, so they must rely on the Job system for continuous stat improvents, compared to a monsters burst improvents, Tasianna clarified, hinting on our difference in improvents. Each Job acquisition grants you stats and skill improvents, and each Job also has a separate level unrelated to your current one. Even if you reach a wall or blockade, you can always level up your Job to further increase your stats. Any thod which grants you experience works.
She then shyly scratched her cheeks, showing us a wry smile as she continued, Hopefully, I can finally catch up. I have been waiting to change my Job for a very, very long ti.
Ahh, yeah, I can understand her frustration. It was similar to my evolution. My level was maxed out so any experience I gained was being wasted until I evolved. The fact that it was my own decision to not evolve dulled that annoyance, but imagine if I couldnt just cause of so stupid reason like having no access to it? Yeah, poor Tasianna.
Once you have maxed out your Job level, simply return to the guild and you may change your Job, lia said with a wide smile. However, each subsequent Job acquisition will cost you one small silvite. rely switching between Jobs youve already acquired is free, though.
Hold on! Saori yelled, holding her hand up in a stop sign. One silvite?! Are you telling each change will cost us 1000 Davi? Why do we have to pay for that?
Still keeping up a professional smile, lia spoke slowly and calmly to soothe the distressed Saori. While the hunters guild as a whole possesses adequate resources, individual branches often do not have the funds to buy a [Crystal of the Divine System]. We must rent them from either a noble, a wealthy rchant, or the lord of the fief. Most guild branches must do this if they arent managed by a wealthy individual, to save on costs. We only charge for Job acquisitions in order to acquire the funds for the monthly paynt.
Co on, Saori, its not like its a lot to pay. We got the money and we can always earn more, no problem, I added, unsure why Saori was making such a fuss over 1000 Davi.
Saori brows curled up, scowling at as she began her lecture. Hestia, the costs pile up. If each of us receives one Job acquisition free of charge, but each subsequent one costs us, then we have to pay 6000 Davi for this week alone. If we use up our weekly limits every ti, it will cost us 9000 Davi. We currently only have 14,443 Davi exactly in party funds. Do you know how much each Quest pays or how much we need to pay for other services like equipnt, maybe so potions, or, you know, our insane food costs?! Are you planning to leech off Lady Ellaine forever?
Oh, whoops. Kinda overlooked those things. But, cant we just earn more money? How hard can it be?
Watching Saori and I argue over it, lia couldnt help but giggle. Im sorry, Im sorry. I didnt an to cause an argunt between the two of you, hie hie. Please, dont worry, the hunters guild treats their accomplished hunters well, and we offer each hunter a free Job acquisition each ti they are promoted to the next rank. Young and new hunters cannot afford Job changes so this is a good way to incentivize them to work hard! You three are eligible for three free changes, excluding your welcoming bonus.
Ahh, I see, how smart! With how powerful these Job changes are, beginners will want to improve fast to get the free changes and, presumably, access the higher paying Quests.
...Do beginners even have the funds to change their Job often, in the first place? Saori mumbled, but told us to ignore it.
Now that I was the proud owner of the [Caster] Job, Saori and Tasianna took the opportunity to change their Jobs too. Saori started out with the [Scout] Job, the first Job in the rogue tree line, and Tasianna acquired [Water Mage] as she only needed one more level in her [Water Magic] to unlock [Torrent Magic].
As it would be irresponsible on my first day as an adventurer to not get a proper Quest, I went to the bulletin board next to the counter, where a ton of parchnt sheets were hanging. A few adventurers stood there, probably deciding on which quest to take.
Oi, the new D ranker. Better stay away from her, I think shes a noble.
Geez, I thought even nobles werent given this privilege. You work like everybody else and get promoted after completing Quests. Shes not even properly equipped. If shes a mage then where is her catalyst?
Hey, shut it. You werent here three days ago. I heard shes level 80, and look at that robe. Priestess. If you want to keep buying those overpriced healing potions, then go ahead and make her angry.
Ok, all these whispers are really ticking off!
There was quite a lot of gossip coming from the adventurers, and most of them moved away the mont I ca over. The ones remaining were the only ones who ignored , seemingly unfazed by my appearance. The largest among them was a well-built man in his thirties, with a massive greatsword or claymore he was carrying around on his shoulder, who exuded an aura of veterancy and competency. He carefully took three sheets from the bulletin and slowly walked back to his party who were sitting over at a table.
As I was curious who they were, I turned around and accidentally locked my eyes with one of them, a young man with wild dark-red hair. His decently used leather armor, the sword on his hip, and round wooden shield strapped to his left arm suggested he was a fighter with so experience. The stare he was giving felt uncomfortable, as it looked like he was in a bad mood.
And that was when it ca back to . He was one of the people who gossiped; sothing about how I wasnt properly equipped or sothing. Well, hopefully, you mind your own business, mister!
When I made my intention clear, the four other mbers of his party probably told him to stop from how they were gesturing. A mage girl in her late teens smacked him on his head with her staff; the female arvisian archer with beautiful verdant green wings scoffed at him; the fully furred wolfkin rogue scolded him with wild, energetic gestures; and the veteran greatsword warrior simply smacked the sheets on the table to gain his attention.
Ha! Serves you right, you douche!
Ignoring them, I returned my attention to the board and took a couple of Quest sheets. I was more interested in the subjugation and hunting quests, although it seed the hunters guild also offered gathering Quests. Whether it was herbs or specific monster materials, anything related to going out to nature and gathering was there. One of the two sheets Id picked was for a gathering Quest, just to try it out.
I returned to the counter and handed the sheets to lia. She took out one of them to explain to how Quests worked. She placed the parchnt in a printer-like scanner and a blue screen projected from the crystal.
Quest: Goblin Subjugation
Rank: G
Reward: Experience, 1 G Rank Point, 2 Large Copper Davi
Objective: Slay 10 Goblins of any kind
Slain Monsters: 0/10
This is what most adventurers call Novice Grind Quests as they are always available and mostly targeted for beginners. Goblins and kobolds spawn even if the mana concentration in the area is low and they reproduce quickly in high numbers if they sohow survive, so they will always need to be culled, lia explained. Honestly, if you werent rank D, I would advise against taking any subjugation Quests before you raise your levels. Although they are only rank G, grouped goblins and kobolds are the main reason why most novice hunters die. They underestimate how dangerous this line of work can be lias smile darkened for a mont as she paused, but recovered the next mont. Thankfully, I will not have to worry if you three were to test the waters as hunters with this Quest. Otherwise, you may do a gathering Quest and hand it in to .
Noticing she didnt want to talk about it, Saori didnt press for more information and instead directed our attention to sothing else. Tell about this Rank Point in the reward section. What are those? And we also receive experience from completing Quests?
Tasianna did ntion you can gain experience from Quests. Good to know this RPG feature is faithfully adapted in this world.
Rank points are needed for you to be promoted to the next rank and you can collect them by completing Quests. The guild works on a rit system, instead of assessing each adventurer by their strengths alone. That is why we cannot promote you any further than rank D, lia replied. We wish to build a good relationship with our clientele and to do so, we must gain their respect and maintain our reputation as being reliable and trustworthy. Although strong hunters are needed for dangerous Quests, we also need reliable and friendly ones. An untrustworthy, almost criminal hunter will find it hard to get promoted as we the guild are the judge, and a lazy hunter who would only does the minimum will accrue points slowly. This point system was established to help the guild assess this.
She then paused for a mont and pointed at our ID and bracelet. So guilds, like the hunters guild, unlock new features in your IDs and bracelet once you register. For example, the Guild Point System wasnt initially available to you at the ti of your registration but once you attach your ID to your bracelet, you can keep track of your points and how many you will need for your next promotion. You can even show your adventurer rank on your ID much the sa way as you switch emblems.
lias ears then twitched into action, making a gesture that suggested she rembered sothing. She then went over to the bulletin board and took a sheet off. I apologize if this isnt sothing you want but please have a look.
Quest: A Dreihorn Skorr pack have gathered near Talua Farm
Rank: D
Reward: Experience, 5 E Rank Point, 1 D Rank Point, a total of 4357 Davi
Description: A pack of [Dreihorn Skorr] has gathered near Talua farm, presumably for winter rest. They have not hard any farrs yet but the risk demands attention. The farrs have sighted around 12 but couldnt confirm a number as they live deep in the woods. These beasts are rank E, but please make additional preparations in case an alpha is leading this pack
Objective: Slay all [Dreihorn Skorr] and disperse the pack. Protect the farrs of Talua Farm
Slain Monsters: 0
In general, D rank Quests would require a minimum of 8000 to 15000 Davi in Quest money to compensate hunters for the risks and preparations. I told the poor farr this, but it seems he couldnt afford to pay more. This Quest has been lying around for five days now, lia ntioned. Being a hunter does not make you a philanthropist nor does the guild promote it. A hunter should put their lives foremost in consideration before they take a Quest. Although it isnt very far from Firwood, winter has made traveling difficult for most hunters. Bad pay, snow, and a difficult request. Not a good combination, especially when the paynt has to be divided among the party.
True, even if we were to divide it amongst us, it would only be 1452 per person. That is one Job change, excluding what preparations a normal hunter must do. However, Saori then looked at with a questioning look. we arent normal. If it is close by, we can probably reach it in about an hour even with all the snow. We have not set up our personal funds yet, aside from Lady Hestia, so all this money will simply go into our party funds. There wont be any disagreents and we can begin accumulating points. As a side note, I gained [Mathematician] from that quick math.
Considering the distance and also how we do need to test the waters, this would be a nice Quest to begin with, Tasianna agreed to Saoris argunts. We will probably return before sunset and also get a chance to change our Jobs again. Twelve rank Es will easily max our Job levels.
Thinking over it, I had only one question in my head. Can we keep the materials, like the at?
Lady Hestia! Saori suddenly yelled out. You are supposed to say this is a good opportunity to gain fans instead of reasoning it with your stomach. Helpless people needing help and you can provide it is your entire gimmick since we t, Lady Hestia. The next milestone is very important for you!
Hey, I cant help it, Saori. The last ti I tasted their at, it was pretty delicious. Besides, this would cut down our food expenses so cut so slack.
Im joking, Im joking, jeez. You do know youre the person who told to be less self-destructive and stop recklessly plunging into every single situation, right. And now youre promoting it, I shrugged at the obvious irony of the situation. Stillyoure right. Our first Quest should be for the people. We can treat this as another of our hunts, and I havent hunted a rank E in a while now, hie hie hie. I said with glee.
I-I see, if you can help, then I will be eternally grateful, Lady Hestia. That would erase a worry of mine, lia bowed, speaking with a mix of awe and concern for my creepy laugh. I will need your IDs to register the Quest.
I also told lia to register us for two goblin slaying Quests and one gathering Quest, as I wanted to stay out on the field for a bit. I cant believe I would say this one day, but I actually needed a break from the city life for a bit. As comfortable as it was to live in Ellaines mansion, my combat senses would dull if I stayed there for too long. I need to sharpen them, even just for a bit.
After lia wished us luck and to take care of ourselves, we walked from the guild to the towns gate in the commoners district. After showing the guards our IDs, we ventured into the white, snowy wilds outsides of Firwood.
Ahhhh, freedom! I shouted out, scaring a few of the people entering the town. Ive set our experience share to give us an equal one-third share. Hie hie, I havent leveled in such a long ti now, I dont know when the last ti was. You ready, Saori, Tasianna?
True, it has been nearly three months since your last level up. It feels a bit nostalgic, no? The last ti when we actually just went out of our way to hunt was during our stay in the Belzac forest, Saori comnted, chuckling. Hie hie, those days were so simple despite the dangers. So, are we using the Idol concert or the Portable Hestia Rifle strategy, this ti?
Miss Saori, I hope you arent planning to bolt from tree to tree, again. I believe you would scare the farrs and cause a misunderstanding, Tasianna said with worry before unrolling a map. The map lia sold us for 3000 Davi is pretty detailed and encompasses the whole of the Sirius march. With our usual moving speed, we should have no problem reaching it before the lunch bell. Let us go, Lady Hestia, Miss Saori.
Tasianna learned how to read maps during her ti in her village, where she spent a lot of her ti in the library. Although her general knowledge was sotis outdated, her ability to understand maps would help us maneuver around quicker.
As estimated, we reached the farm pretty quickly. We spoke with our Quest giver and then went hunting for the skorrs. Using the super impressive Portable Hestia Rifle we cleanly slew a total of 15 skorrs and now had a ton of delicious pork.
Experience has reached multiple breaking points. [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]s Job [Caster] has risen from [Level 0] to [Level 5]
Max level of Job [Caster] has been reached
Attributes have increased due to level up
This confird two things; my stats would increase whenever I leveled my Jobs but it wouldnt give Skill Points, which was a sha. I still had to be careful with my SP usage until I started consistently leveling again.
I also wanted to confirm whether the stats Id gotten from my Job would also carry over to my dragon form. If they did, then I had to start gathering Jobs and level them up. This would be a great side project to make myself stronger outside of evolving and training.
After showing the farrs the bodies, they gave us a confirmation paper to hand to lia for our reward. We left the guild and I opened the Quest List function of my party bracelet to see four Quests in it. I put a tick to the side of the Quest [A Dreihorn Skorr pack has gathered near Talua Farm] to remind myself I fulfilled it and we then went to kill so green goblins.
Compared to the kobolds I saw in the Belzac forest who showed so intelligence, these goblins were feral and ravenous. The mont they saw us, they let their tongues out, smiled at us gleefully, and charged at us with such a perverted laugh I almost cringed. Suffice to say, their charred bodies slled terrible.
Similar to the skorr Quest, the mont anyone in my party killed one of the designated monsters, the Slain Monsters number would increase, proving we killed it. It was satisfying to see it go up. Gamification of tasks like this made it fun.
We killed twenty goblins and gathered so herbs, and quickly returned to town. We handed in the completed Quests to lia just a bit before sunset. She was surprised to see us back so early but once I showed her all the skorr and goblin bodies, she simply smiled and muttered, as expected from Lady Hestia, Saori, and Tasianna.
Aside from her sweet smile, we also gained a total of 5107 Davi. 4357 from the skorr quest, 400 from the goblins, and 150 from the gathering one. Saori still complained it was quite low, but quickly gave up on complaining once she reminded herself to simply work harder. I was more annoyed I couldnt get any fans from the farrs.
Maybe I should have acted more like a priestess to impress them. They treated similarly to the Carine villagers, when they saw my robe, but it seems it wasnt enough to convert them into fans. However, how does a priestess actually act? Should I ask the church for so lessons?
Individual [Sunfang Dragonewt, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor] has switched her Main Job to [Mage]
Main Job benefits have been updated due to Job change
Mage Level: 0/5
After changing our Jobs, my party then went to the rcenary guild. The receptionist there, sohow recognizing , helped our registration as rcenaries. Aside from killing bandits, there were also various jobs to help the locals, such as bodyguard duty or skill training. Compared to the hunters guild, we were only rank G here. With the registration done, we handed in the two commission papers we got from Ellaine.
For the bandit subjugation Quest, we received 10750 Davi. Although I rejected Chief Colwyns offer to pay us, instead suggesting they could repay us by letting us stay in their village for winter, Ellaine personally couldnt let it go. Her father commissioned the Quest so House Helvas had a responsibility to pay. It was initially 21500, but the other half went to Master Kushs party.
The escort Quest where I accompanied Ellaine to Firwood was worth 1000 Davi. Considering it was all a pretense and how she literally fed and gave a place to sleep, the money was really redundant.
Anyway, altogether, we made 16857 Davi but used up 3000 to buy that map, today. In total, our partys funds were now 28300. I have no idea why Saori was still worrying. Whatever.
We then returned to Ellaines mansion to rest for the day and get ready for tomorrow. While work and getting so money would be nice, I havent done my Idol training for three days now. I think Ill do so tomorrow and maybe I can borrow Ellaines geigler and play at the local tavern or even in the guild itself?
Lady Hestia, I welco you back. I see you have been active. The mont we entered the mansions desne, Ellaine greeted us in front of the door and quickly pulled us into her room. With Barathan and Manuela having accompanied us, Ellaine began explaining what was stated in the letter she received from her father this morning after I left the mansion.
Surprisingly, there wasnt much stated in it aside from the fact that her father, the royal family, Marquess Sirius, and Duke Greenveil were made privy to my information and wanted Ellaine to keep close as much as possible. To make sure Ellaine understood what was going on, she and the two head attendants standing behind her received a copy of our partys IDs.
After she was done explaining, she stood up from her chair, bent her left leg, and genuflected with both of her attendants. Lady Hestia No, Your Imperial Highness, Dragon Princess Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor of the Dragon Empire Kargryx and the Vassal State Loatryx. I, Ellaine Fiero Helvas, would like to officially welco you under the gaze of her holiness, Origin Goddess of Light Aurena, to the Kingdom of Artorias. May the Goddess guide you with her divine light and may your stay with us be subli.
It was just over the top. Unlike how the hunters guild branch master addressed , Ellaine dialed it up to 200%. The elegance she showed was filled with her [Noble Aura], making feel a bit dizzy about the whole situation.
Knowing they couldnt stand up before I told them to, I told them to rise with a gesture of my hand. Jeezyou know I dont like that, Lady Ellaine. Haaa, is it even appropriate for a noble to kneel before foreign royalty?
Back on her seat, Ellaines lips curved into a teasing smile as she responded, I do apologize but it is for courtesys sake. House Helvas believed you were a princess, but we neglected to give you a proper welco, no? Holding her hands together, she quickly clapped in a girlish way. And yes, nobles are to show proper respect to royalty, even if they co from another country. They were, after all, given a title by the gods. Your question nearly caught off-guard, if I hadnt rembered you were an otherworlder. We must have more tea parties for you to learn about our world, yes?
Youre taking this pretty lax; I imagined you would be a bit, well, overwheld.
Oh, please, take my word on it that this morning was chaotic for Barathan, Manuela, and . I nearly fainted from the information overload, hie hie, she giggled. However, I had nearly an entire day to accept the information. It is my duty as a noble to keep a calm mind.
As I was feeling a bit guilty for nearly giving Ellaine a panic attack, Manuela stepped forwards and asked Ellaine and if she could speak with Tasianna. We obliged, as Tasianna wasnt against it.
The mont she was face-to-face with Tasianna, Manuela dropped to her knees, earnestly prostrating. As my party was flabbergasted at her action, Manuela began to speak in a sorrow-filled tone. Miss Tasianna, at the beginning, I had believed you were an elf and thought the cold reception you gave was for the unforgivable history between our two races. I accepted it as we humans deserve it for what we did.
She paused for a mont to calm down the anxiety in her voice before continuing, But, now that I have learned about your true nature. I must ask for your forgiveness as a forr resident of the Morgiana Duchy. Everything that happened to the fairies and the other faefolk was because of our negligence and cowardice! I didnt live during that ti, but my ancestors decision to stand neutral was the gravest mistake the Morgiana duchy has ever made! We talked about being allies but history has proven our weakness
Manuelas strained breath made it seem like every word her mouth released was piercing her body like a dagger. I didnt know she ca from the Morgiana duchy, but I did hear a bit of how that duchy was the closest to the elves before the War for the Faefolk happened. I still didnt know much about that particular piece of history, but it seems the Morgiana duchy did sothing to betray the elves trust.
Tasiannas eyes glimred with a hint of sadness as she simply looked at Manuela, keeping her mouth shut. After a couple of seconds, Tasianna responded, I can never forgive the human race for what they did to and my race. The fairies might forget, but I wontHowever, please, rise. Your words might soothe the departed more
Giving out one last Im so, so sorry, Manuela asked Ellaine for permission to leave the room. The lingering awkwardness was suffocating.
In an attempt to diffuse it, Ellaine cleared her voice and looked at . L-Lady Hestia! I wish to ask you for a favor if it would please you, she suddenly stated in her noble persona.
Uhhh, sure, what? I uttered, feeling hopeful this would break the tension.
After analyzing much of your ID, would it be rude to ask you for your age before I ask my favor?
Uhm, nope. Im a nine months old dragon whelp, but when I died in my previous world, I was 15. So, I am 15 ntally and physically in my dragonewt and human forms, I answered.
Good, thank you she paused for a mont to breathe in heavily, before shouting, Thenplease, I ask you to tutor ! I wish to beco a better mage!
Well, that is one way to break the mood.
