'It is always …' Damian thought.
Frederic stayed in the city to take care of the shop, or rather, the process of creating one. Raikono stayed in the city too to protect the old bones.
Serana was sleeping at the ti, and Damian did not want her roaming outside so soon. She needed so ti to rest after being kidnapped.
So the only person available to complete missions was him! Well, missions was what Frederic had in mind, but after Damian checked the rewards for said missions, they were just not enough!
'My rank in the guild is gold now, yet the rewards are kind of la. I think I might have to go into dark paths to get so money…'
Damian was not poor on Earth, and his organization, The Dawn, was starting to make so profit, but Earth money was useless there! Inside the dungeon, all the races that lived in it used gold coins, and Damian only had a few of these.
The money needed to start the shop was not huge, but it would take Damian at least three or four missions, and that could take more than three months! He wanted his shop running as soon as possible, or at least more money with the sa effort.
He put on different clothing that he bought in a shop inside the city: a leather armor with a black cloak and hood. The look Damian had resembled a thief, or an assassin, and assassination was precisely what he had in mind!
There was a black market area in the city's underground. It was not as hard as one might think to get the information about it. Damian went there after changing clothes. He also created so bandages using his sli ring to cover his face, looking sowhat scary.
If one had the knowledge about the black market, one had the right to enter. The person in front of the door did not stop Damian when he went inside, and even glanced at him a few tis.
'This man looks dangerous,' the man thought.
There were many people in the underground black market. Not as many as the city itself, but a considerable number. What those folks wanted by getting in there was to offer their services—services that were often against the laws—or buy sothing they could not find elsewhere.
Damian put on a blind eye to all of that, and went toward a specific area, one that had a board with so notes. It looked similar to the board where one would get missions inside the adventurer's guild, and it also had missions, but they were a little different.
'The rewards are way bigger than the missions in the guild. Which one should I take?'
The number of missions was slightly lower, but almost all of them required Damian to enter as a spy sowhere, and kill an important person! That was a mission that would surely get him hefty rewards.
'This one sounds cool enough,' Damian thought as he picked up a note.
The mission stated on the note was quite simple: invade the noble family's castle, kill its current leader, and if possible kidnap a woman who lives in there.
'A noble family called Snowheart, and they live in a snowy mountain… Well, this should be a lot of fun. I should warn the others about it,' Damian thought.
But before leaving to warn Frederic and the others, he went to speak with the person who put on the note. It took two hours for them to et, and the person was excited after learning that soone had taken the request.
"Are you Shadowblade? Here, take half of the money now, and the rest you can get after bringing the head of Snowheart's current leader!"
Shadowblade was the nickna Damian decided to use inside the black market, and that was the na they passed to that man when he asked who took his request.
The man who put out the request was a bald man with a considerable belly, a mustache, and an attire that looked and slled expensive.
Damian was more than happy to get half of the money before even completing the mission. That amount of money was enough to get his shop going!
But of course, Damian was not stupid enough to take that sum of money and flee away. The bald man before him was surely soone with influence, and just like Damian acted as an assassin, the man could send others to get him, or those he cared about.
"Is there anything I should be wary of?" Damian asked.
"Well, you can sense in the air that winter is close, right? The Snowheart family lives in the snowy mountains, and that place is frigid cold. You should be careful not to die. Also, you need to infiltrate inside the family's castle, and I don't care how you do it, but you must find a way."
The person hiring Damian did not have many details about the castle or how to get in.
'Seriously, cold?'
He was basically stating the obvious, but Damian did not show how displeased he was.
"Alright. Can you at least point where the family lives? Also, how much ti do I have to complete this?"
The man nodded, taking a map from Damian, and marking down the location of the Snowheart family's castle, "You have the whole winter to complete it."
Around three months. That was a lot of ti to spend inside that place, and Damian felt like the quest was not as simple as it sounded.
Damian grabbed the money and left the black market.
"Where did you get this?" Frederic said with shock as he stared at the large leather sack on the table.
"From a mission, but I still need to complete it. This is only half of it."
"H-Half? What type of mission is this?" Frederic asked.
"One that might take three months… Can you start the shop with this amount of money?"
"Yes, absolutely! If this is only half of it, and you bring the rest, we can even start an enchanting business here!"
Frederic was so hyped about it that he forgot how strange the whole thing was.
"Take this thing too."
Damian had so Erotic Coins to spend, especially after the previous night with Serana, and he decided to use them for an item, one that would allow him to share ssages with Frederic no matter the distance.
"A ring?" Frederic asked, confused.
"I have one too, and we can talk to each other by using it. You can send ssages talking about how things are going, and also about my friends, you know, the ones Jejelak is looking for."
"Marvelous! This is a great item! Where did you get it?"
"I stole it. Now, take care of everything for , alright?"
"Don't you worry about it."
The idea of parting ways was not sothing Damian enjoyed, especially after finally having the chance to reunite with Serana, but he needed the money to start his businesses, and the money generated by said businesses would be the pillar of The Dawn, the organization he wanted to continue even inside the dungeon!
'It is ti to infiltrate, kill soone, and kidnap soone else! How great!'
