Chapter 50 - A Confused Mind (1/2)

[Quest for Adventurer Class F

Title: The Strange Egg

While I was returning to the second floor, I lost an egg that I found in a chest on the Ninth Floor. I believe it is between the first and second floors because that is when I realized it was missing.

Since I am a Class C, I cannot stay on these floors for very long, which makes it impossible for me to look for myself.

He is about a foot long and black as coal.

If you find him, look for Dylan in the most famous tavern in the port.

Reward: 1 gold coin]

”That sounds like a good mission to me! Despite the meager reward... A mysterious egg from the Ninth Floor!” Said Nathalia, looking at the white paper with the official guild seal, her eyes shining with excitement.

The Elf stood in front of the quest board, which had just been filled with posters by the receptionist. Several novice adventurers around the guild were drooling just to see her up close, and some more experienced ones even tried to approach, but she totally ignored them.

Across the street, Luke was watching a blacksmith at work, listening intently to the pounding of the hammer on the iron and the anvil, smelling the strong smell of molten iron up close.

'This guy is awesome!' He assessed the blacksmith, seeing his great skills.

Although he looked quite young for his profession, the blacksmith had great muscles, which allowed him to keep forging for various continuous minutes.

'Please give me your precious money! Even if it's just a simple repair!' The greedy blacksmith pleaded internally.

However, he had to stay only in wishful thinking, because when Luke began to feel his dark circles under his eyes sweat, he said goodbye and headed towards the mission board. A forge was definitely not a good place for a half-wolf to be.

”Did you find anything interesting?” He questioned Nathalia, which made the passionate crows staring at her dissipate.

Nathalia realized that the boy was a bit more normal now and allowed herself to perk up a bit:

”A mission about a mysterious egg, Luke! What if it's from a Summoner?!”

He arched his eyebrows and was interested, because finding an egg wouldn't be that hard, however, they had just finished the active mission they picked up later in the morning.

”Aren't you tired?” The half-beast inquired. Together, they had defeated over three hordes of Goblins and Kobolds a few minutes ago.

Nathalia raised both arms and showed her muscles, which were not trembling with fatigue, in response to his questioning.

”Okay, we can do that one. How much is the reward?”

”It says here it's one gold coin only...” Nathalia said, at the same time pouting.

Without a second thought, Luke started walking towards the Dungeon once again, much more motivated than in the morning.

This time, there was only one mission left before they finally entered Class E, where missions would become less tedious for him. If they had completed the mission given by the Guild Master, they would both already be Class E.

”You are aware that if we find the egg, it won't be yours, right?” Luke stated.

”Why not?”

”Because the mission is to find it, right?”

”Yes, but...”

”Don't even think about it, the reward is great.”

”Do you know how many hundreds of thousands an Invocation can be worth?”

”Tell me more about that.”
