Chapter 29 Escorting Sword and Magic's mechant caravan

Author: M_W Cancer

The teams were immediately formed after Alfred and the others finished looking for a mission to complete. The teams were specifically, naturally Leo and Cassandra, Alfred and Anna, for the couples. Michael and Adrian, and lastly, Raffy and Angelo, for the 4 bodyguards.

After they officially accepted their mission from Angel, they hurriedly bid farewell to Leo and Cassandra to start completing their chosen mission. They wanted to finished their mission as soon as possible so that they can go and accept another one. Hence, they can earned alot of points this week.

At this moment, it was only Leo and Cassandra who was left in the study room. Cassandra was flipping the pages of Sword and Magic Mission Book, trying to look for an easy mission with at the same time a high points as its reward.

”Stop looking around, I have already picked a mission for us!” Leo said as he went to grabbed the book and immediately flipped the pages towards a specific page before he pointed at a mission.

'Escort Sword and Magic merchant caravan to Blacksmoke city, then back again to Silver city. Reward (5,000 points).'

The mission was simply to escort a Sword and Magic merchant caravan to Blacksmoke city, wait until they finished getting all the merchandise from the city, and escort then escort them back to Silver city, once again. It was a simply mission, really, so Leo specifically choose to complete it.

”Are you sure about this? Maybe it's a bit out of our capability... How about let's choose another one?” Cassandra reminded Leo in concern.

Cassandra was worried about the mission. Though, the Blacksmoke city was not really that far, just to the west of Heart city, they were still going to cross the Blacksmoke canyon, a known hub of bandits that likes to ambush merchant caravans.

Although the mission was indeed simple, that still doesn't mean it was easy. Bandits weren't normal people, they were more or less like Magical Beast. The would attack any people in order to steal qhat they had or even worst than that.

”Don't worry, I've already escorted a merchant caravan once to Blacksmoke city before. Though its a favorite hub for the bandits ambush, the bandits their aren't that strong anyaay. Moreover, it's not like only the two of us is going to escort the merchants caravan, right?” Leo said assuring her. Missions such as this wasn't something that only 2 Mages could complete, so there would surely be another group of Mages to come with them. In other words, Mages that would become their nannies...

Leo had indeed escorted a merchant caravan once. It was at the time he had found Van. A merchant caravan returned back to his Heart city, damaged and has obviously escaped with their lives from the Blacksmoke canyon's bandits.

Fortunately, those merchants were only going to Blacksmoke city to buy some merchandise, so their was almost nothing in their caravan. The moment they returned to Heart city, they theb asked for their Lord's, which was Leo, for his assistance to crossed the Blacksmoke canyon, which he happily agreed.

Of course, Leo only did so since they had rewarded him with 2,000 gold coins. Afterall, although he was kind, he was still a person that thinks about his personal interest. No one would voluntarily help someone without a return, especially if helping them will endanger their veey own lives.

Leo quickly rang the bell, and Angel immediately came inside soon after as she then looked at the mission that he wanted to complete.

”Are you sure about this mission?” Angel asked, dubious about whether the two were just joking with her or not.

In Angel's opinion, the mission was really out of their scope of range. Escorting a merchants caravan wasn't that easy since bandits and dark mercenary always wanted to target them. They might even lose their lives in the worst case scenario, which would then waste Madam Silva's effort of grooming them.

”Yes, don't worry! I've already escorted a merchant caravan once to Blacksmoke city.” Leo repeated again.

Hearing Leo's reply, Angel could only feel helpless. She wanted to persuade them to choose another one, but it looked like Leo was really aiming for this mission.

”Okay then...” Angel said as she was left with no other choice. She handed Leo a piece of paper that officially state that the two of them would be completing the mission.

The paper that Angel had handed to Leo was called the Official Seal of Acceptance. This Official Seal has two different part, the Acceptance and the Completion. The former would act as the proof of the employee to their employers that they had officially been granted the rights to complete their mission. The latter was naturally the proof that they had completed the mission.

Without this Official Seal, a student or anyone interested with the mission will not be able to join or complete the said mission, neither would they be able to claim the reward for the mission. Even if they had completed the mission, as long as they had lost the Official Seal of Completion, then they won't be able to received its promised points reward.

”Thank you, then let's go!” Leo said as he hurriedly dragged Cassandra away from the study room. He was afraid that Angel would suddenly change her mind and asked him back the Official Seal of Acceptance for the mission.

”Where are we going?” Cassandra can't help but asked curiously while being dragged away by Leo.

”We are going to buy some stuffs we needed for the mission!” Leo replied as they quickly left Sword and Magic and went to the nearby stores selling cheap only merchandises.

Obviously, Leo was still poor even though he had Madam Silva as his backer.

.....

The next morning, Leo woke up early to prepare for the mission. After taking and bath and doing all his morning routines, he quickly went to the kitchen to eat his breakfast.
