”Favours?” asked Donis while looking at Striga.
”Uh, so, they're like a merit system for the Royals. We do good deeds for them, do their jobs, we get paid in either Favours, or Erzi. Pros and Cons to both, but it's like a specific currency for the Royals and their networks,” said Striga.
”Ah, okay!” quieted down Donis.
”We'll be trading in with Favours, and if I don't have enough, Erzi will be fine too. The name is Striga Rubens, Captain of the Darkwater. His name is Donis Laurent, a student at the Vernaic Academy.”
”Oh, Donis, you're quite a way away from home aren't you?” smiled the Informant. ”Of course, Ms. Rubens. You currently have 367 Favours to cash in, and what may be the subject of your questions?”
”We need to know if Donis here advancing in his Combat Job turned out to be a bad thing. He ended up becoming half dragon. We also need to know about location tracking magic spells that deal with eyes. Also, what is the potential danger level for Donis if the eyes that belonged to the tracking spell belonged to the Allfather, Drakthiin,” listed out Striga with an emotionless expression.
”Hmm, information regarding Combat Jobs is actually on hand info we have here. Draconification is well documented so there is an almost discount on that one. Info on a specific spell may take extra resources. If anything has to do with Drakthiin, then it's going to cost extra once again. Hmm. Adding everything together you'll need 485 Favours to get all of the answers,” smiled the Informant.
”Okay, how much in Erzi?” said Striga.
”About 4,900 Erzi,” said the Informant tonelessly.
”Shit, I don't have enough to cover it! I guess we'll just ask the most important questions,” sighed Striga.
”Wait Striga, I can pay for the whole thing, it's okay, this is for me,” whispered Donis.
”You can? 4,900 Erzi is a lot of money for anyone. It could buy you a nice place in the city here for a good few months,” she whispered back.
”Yeah, it's okay. I made plenty from my [Alchemy] side job!” fist pumped Donis.
”Okay, we'll take all of it!” said Striga as Donis reached out and placed a small bag of 4,900 Erzi.
”Okay, so, Combat Jobs changing ones race isn't the oddest thing, but having it so young is very odd, so nothing to worry about there. Draconification is a subset of [Monster Specialists] and their expertise. You will have to go and meet Dr. Gilbert, he's well versed in the Limitations and Effects of Dragonification. He's actually in Baoruin right now, if you hurry you may get to him quickly enough. Now, the tracking spell for the eyes may take a little while to figure out. If there's any info you can give us on what it looked like, felt like, or anything else notable, please do, it'll narrow down the search tremendously.” Listed off the Informant.
”Now, if they do belong to Drakthiin there's nothing any of us can do, but what I can let you know is that Gilbert is actually a Dragon Specialist. Your best bet is going to be talking to him. Though from what I can see in these files here,” said the Informant, as they perused through a tablet that seemed to be projecting something for the viewer.
”Hmm, so, quest is to meet Dr Gilbert huh? Get the dragon info, and mash together a plan?” said Donis.

'Ooh, the questing system works even this way? Cool, now I know definitely I can just abuse the crap out of this.'
”Basically lad, basically. Why do you think we drink so much?” mumbled Striga.
”Cause you're all alcoholics?”
”Stop hanging around Jimmy, please”
