Chapter 20: Ly’s Growth (6)

The corners of Ian’s mouth rolled up when he saw the content of the quest and discovered the doubled EXP part written in the rewards.

‘As expected, my memory was right.’

However, his expression could only crumble again.

‘Ah, right, this quest was originally a ‘Party Quest….’

At that time, he was with guild members, so he had forgotten about the party quest part.

‘This is no good… Who should I ask?’

The first place he thought of was the guild.

‘Although, I don’t think there will be a beginner that’s around lv 40 in the guild now…’

For now, Ian spoke to Lapierre to postpone the quest.

“Director, in that case, can you postpone the suppression schedule until I go find a party?”

“Of course, that much I can consider. Then, before that, do you think you can you eliminate the Camping Ground Scouts?”

The quest notification rung again.

Ring-.

Elimination of Saumur Canyon’s Goblin Scouts

Lucain Town’s vigilante leader Lapierre is recruiting a mercenary that is able to eliminate the Scouts in the Goblin Camping Ground before the punitive force starts moving.

Kill over ten Scouts and return safely.

Quest Difficulty Level: E

Reward: A Vigilante’s Leather Armor

Saumur Canyon, commonly called the Beginner Zone, was a place that was located outside the Luspel Empire border.

The place Ian was in was also a town affiliated with the border area of the empire but it was still quite a distance from Saumur Canyon, so it was troublesome.

‘It’s going to take 30 minutes to go back and forth. It’s a bit annoying to do but… there’s nothing I can do.’

It was troublesome but because he knew that if he didn’t help out with this quest, the Camping Ground Suppression Quest wouldn’t be activated, so Ian immediately accepted.

“I’ll do as you ask.”

“Alright, thanks. As expected, you’re the only one. I can count on.”

Ian, who finished speaking to Lapierre, immediately contacted Herz.

Fortunately, Herz was logged on.

Yoohyun spoke as if he was a little taken aback but Ian continued his words without paying attention.

Yoohyun, who momentarily was silent, sent another message.

Ian said it as a joke but somehow Yoohyun didn’t hear it as empty talk. He always thought that if Ian had started Kailran since the opening, he may have ranked in the top 100.

Ian, who carried on an ordinary conversation, brought up his main subject.

Ian closed the chat window with Herz and opened the Guild chat room. It would be faster recruiting himself in the chat room.

‘It’s probably better if I recruit an acquaintance of a guild member than recruiting someone I don’t know.’

Ian posted a message shortly after.

The guild chat room that was quiet was instantly swarmed at Ian’s message.

Ian shared a reunion(?) with his guild members.

Tension, whatever, it was just welcomes.

As the chat room went on, there were more people joining the chat. It looked as if they were happy to see Ian, who appeared after a week.

However, quick-tempered Ian quickly brought up his main subject.

For a moment, Ian paused, trying to think about how to respond. This was because if he said he was doing the Goblin Camping Ground Quest when he was only just lv 20, he would get caught up in an attack of questions that weren’t even going to be a small amount.

However, there was no other way but saying the truth.

Just as Ian predicted, the messages were rus.h.i.+ng in from here and there.

Ian was befuddled and spoke vaguely.

After saying those words, it was quite plausible. Since it was a situation where there was not a lot of information about Summoners, it was a justification that the others could accept.

Although, it was words that would have opposed and called it a lie if there was another user that was playing as a Summoner.

Kroban, who was the most naïve(?)-like in the guild, reacted first.

A reaction that showed no suspicion.

Ian smirked.

Fiolan also agreed.

Ian responded just as he experienced.

Right then, Carwin said what Ian was waiting for.

Ian immediately asked back.

There were a lot of production cla.s.ses in Kailran such as Blacksmith, Seamstress, Painter, Architect, etc. But most of the users didn’t pay attention to the production cla.s.ses. It was because it felt like there wasn’t enough time to level up and fight, so it was a waste of time to grind and raise production cla.s.ses as well.

The Blacksmith, for example, if you want to level that cla.s.s, you need to shut yourself in a smithy and produce weapons as if your life depended on it but compared to hunting or fighting, it was tiresome and boring.

Different from combat cla.s.ses, one user can have multiple production cla.s.ses but it was a pointless state since there were no users that properly raise even one cla.s.s.

The most popular production cla.s.ses, at the least, were the Blacksmith, who could produce actual items, and the Enchanter, who could grant magic into items and produce scrolls that you could put in one-time magic.

Although the Blacksmith wasn’t a cla.s.s that could help grow your character stronger, it made money, so it was popular and in the Enchanter’s case, because users that had magician-combat cla.s.ses could raise their magician’s skill proficiency and raise their Enchanter’s proficiency, there were a lot of people that did it.

Of course, there were only a handful of users with Blacksmiths and Enchanters that had high enough proficiency to be over Intermediate-rank.

Ian, who thought it would have been a leading production cla.s.s like Blacksmith or Enchanter, was slightly taken aback. You could call it a relief that he was at least a Priest that had healing magic.

However, because Ian’s goal from the beginning was to reach the amount of people required, he had no interest in the party member’s fighting power.

Carwin response seemed a bit bitter at the unexpected reaction.

Kroban, who was listening to the two people’s conversation, b.u.t.ted in.

Immediately, Fiolan tackled him.

Ian smirked and posted a message.

The northern continent was a new field that opened with this large update. However, Ian, who was still lacking in level, couldn’t go there yet.

Ian, who was swept with the uneasy feeling that a lot of his time might be taken away if he stayed messaging, hurriedly finished with the messaging.

As it had been a while, he had fun messaging his guild members but it was incomparable to the enjoyment of hunting and growing. Ian, who left the guild chat room without hesitation, took Ly and started moving out of the castle gate.

‘I better finish the preceding quest before I get a call from Carwin.’

When he was talking about the preceding quest, he meant the Goblin Scout Killing Quest.

Ian headed towards the Goblin Camping Ground without delay.

He knew of the exact location of the advance barracks where the Goblin Scouts were.
