Chapter 209: Mission Rewards
To be fair, charging five thousand Gold Surrel for a purification treatnt—estimated at six thousand with the added gift—Janna really wasn't asking for too much.
Although such a purification treatnt took so ti, it didn’t require any additional resources from Janna.
After all, Janna, who had mastered the Fragnt of the Law of Purification, did not expend magical power when casting the Light of Purification—at most, the Celestial Finch would be sowhat exhausted, but with so rest, it would recover.
However, for Jarvis Roland, who had been plagued by this affliction for over twenty years, this matter couldn’t be asured in monetary terms.
Jarvis Roland’s problem wasn’t a lack of money, but rather that he had no way to find a wizard who had already mastered the Law of Purification.
Of course, Janna hadn’t mastered the Law of Purification either. At best, she could barely wield the power of the Fragnt of the Law of Purification.
The real key to the purification lay with the Celestial Finch, a light-elent sprite hailing from the Holy Realm of Heaven, suspected to be part of the Reserve of Holy Light.
Had the Celestial Finch not evolved due to Janna’s soul nourishnt and coincidentally mastered the Holy Fla, capable of purifying even Darksun Altars, Janna alone would never have been able to cleanse the contamination in Jarvis Roland’s body.
Moreover, this ti’s purification treatnt had almost gone awry for the Celestial Finch.
Due to the seal, the Celestial Finch alone couldn’t fully remove the contamination within.
In the end, it was Janna’s magical control techniques, developed while practicing the Shaping Spell, that allowed the Holy Fla to infiltrate the seal’s existing gap and complete the purification.
Ultimately, Jarvis Roland had simply been lucky enough to cross paths with Janna and leave a good impression on her.
Otherwise, he would have missed the opportunity entirely—
In the end, under Jarvis Roland’s “forceful” insistence, he raised the paynt to thirty thousand Gold Surrel—six tis Janna’s asking price.
At the sa ti, he promised Janna that for any item she won at the Watermarsh Auction House in the future, she would only need to pay half price—the remaining cost would be covered by Jarvis Roland himself.
Furthermore, Jarvis Roland used a magical contract to guarantee Janna that in the future, no matter what request she made, as long as he could fulfill it, he would do so with all his strength.
This promise extended not only to Jarvis Roland himself but also to his descendants. Even after his death, Janna could use the contract to require his descendants to fulfill it.
These seemingly sincere promises once again showed Janna a glimpse of his shrewd wisdom. On the surface, everything Jarvis Roland did was to repay a favor. In truth, he wanted to establish a relatively strong connection with Janna through this contract.
Even the official wizards of Floating Island Forest Academy couldn’t resolve his problem—yet Janna had solved it effortlessly.
This alone was enough for Jarvis Roland to see the imasurable potential within Janna. Even though Janna always credited her contract creature, soone with Jarvis Roland’s life experience would never be naïve enough to fully believe it.
The cursed contamination on him had been planted personally by a Darksun Apostle, and only a wizard who had mastered the Law of Purification could possibly remove it.
According to Jarvis Roland’s knowledge, there were fewer than ten wizards who had mastered the Law of Purification—most of them being elental wizards using extre characteristics of elents like Water Purification or Fire Purification.
Alternatively, there were the True Insight Wizards in Falling Star City, a gathering place for Second Tier Wizards on the Eastern Continent, who had mastered the Law of Light...
The forr were too volatile due to the nature of elental purification, and Jarvis Roland didn’t dare risk his life attempting it.
As for the latter, the ultra-long distance between the Eastern and Western continents, along with a lack of connections, made them completely inaccessible to Jarvis Roland.
In the end, he had no choice but to place his hopes on the elusive Witch Sect or Florence, hoping to purchase a few top-tier purification potions—but with his status, that too seed like an impossible dream.
Thus, against all these “impossible” odds, Janna had completely overturned Jarvis Roland’s understanding—effortlessly achieving what he had not even dared to dream of for so many years, using only apprentice-level thods.
The night was heavy with dew, and the wind whispered sharply.
Watching Jarvis Roland’s silhouette fade into the darkness, Janna, who had been outside for far too long, finally turned back and walked toward the inn.
“It’s already 2 a.m., huh—”
After inserting the key and opening the door, Janna’s gaze fell on the chanical clock hanging in the center of the wall.
She rubbed her sore shoulders, put away the key, took off her clothes, and soaked in a steaming hot bath in the washroom.
“This trip turned out to be filled with pleasant surprises.”
Besides acquiring the mission’s required “Verdant Necklace,” Janna had also received thirty thousand Gold Surrel and gained a massive favor from Jarvis Roland...
[Today’s Mission: Obtain the Verdant Necklace (Completed);
Mission Reward: Talent EXP 100 points, Skill EXP 500 points, Luck 0.1.]
Opening the Quest Panel and seeing the reward of [Luck 0.1], Janna, exhausted from the day, couldn’t help but smile.
“I wonder what will happen once [Luck] exceeds 10 points—”
In her previous life, she was the kind of person who never won a single draw. But in this life, she could clearly feel her luck gradually improving.
The [Luck] attribute sounded like it was connected to the Law of Fate.
In this world where everything could be explained through mysticism, Janna had a hunch that once her [Luck] reached a certain level, it would inevitably attract the attention of Fate.
“Until now, I haven’t heard of anyone who has mastered the Law of Fate—”
As one of the Major Laws pursued by Curse Wizards and Divination Wizards, Janna couldn’t imagine whether such a law could ever truly be mastered by a wizard.
After all, fate was capricious—even the stars and cosmos couldn’t escape the predetermined rules of Fate. As a human, even with extraordinary power, how could one possibly transcend Fate?
Clearing her mind of distractions, Janna, now wearing a bathrobe, finally took out from her Thorn Bracelet the wooden box she had been dreaming of day and night—
