Chapter 26:　Urgent Quest

When we returned to town, we go straight to the guild to report about the success of the quest, as well as handling the purchase of the materials, which is the ogre’s horns and monster cores. It seems like since they looks humanoid, I heard that their meat is not normally bought. I think I’ve heard that some people in j.a.pan even eat monkeys.

The total number of ogres subjugated are 15. The horns collected from the normal ogres amount to 12, while from the Yellow and Red Ogre totaled to 6. It seems that the number of horns increased for the high rank. The total amount sold for the horns are 18 small silver coins.

Since the reward for completing the quest are 2 gold coins, our total profits are 2 gold and 1 silver coins, as well as 8 small silver coins. When we go to the bulletin board to look at what quest we should do next, the guild suddenly becomes noisy.

When an adventurer-looking man came with a fast horse rushed to the counter and speaks with the receptionist, the receptionist heads inside with a startled expression.

“I wonder if something happened?”

“I have no idea”

The other adventurers seems to be anxious too. While we were thinking about that strange thing, an old dignified person appeared from the interior, and begin to announce something:

“An urgent quest has been created. I want all the adventurers in this place, as well as all of their party members to partic.i.p.ate. The rank doesn’t matter!”

Urgent quest. This is a first for me. I recalled the pamphlet called 『Guild’s Rule~』 when I first joined the guild. According to it, when abnormal situations happened around the guild (monster flood, bandit attack etc), the guild can order the adventurer related to the guild to partic.i.p.ate.

Although I can decline the quest, it’s possible that the materials purchased by the guild will have reduced price after this, and worst case being expelled from the guild. Basically excluding the rich people and the n.o.ble being adventurers as a hobby, you can say that it’s impossible for you to decline.

“The content of the quest?”

A certain adventurer raised his voice.

“There’s a report saying that a group of monsters is on the highway north of here heading towards the capital city! Although the Guard corps had already left this city, I want all of you to hurry and follow!”

The information about that group of monsters is too vague. We don’t know the numbers nor the type, so won’t this leads to a confusing fight?  The staff begins to put the urgent request on the bulletin board, as well as distributing it to the adventurers. Although there’s no great difference between what’s written here and the one mentioned before, I was drawn towards the reward. The person who partic.i.p.ates and managed to return alive will be given 1 gold plate.

[T.N: Not sure, the raw said “一律金貨１枚”, something like a gold plate but I’m not sure. It should be equivalent to 10 gold coins I think.]

“What should we do?”

When I ask everyone, it seems like we have already decided on the answer.

“Let’s go! The reward is pretty attractive.”
