Chapter 66: Village Protection Quest (1/2)

As Edward and the party were going to dispose of Joe’s corpse, they all received a system notification at the same time.

[Ding! Unlocked chain sidequest—Frogman Guardian ①]

[Quest description: After testing the frogman tribe’s battle power, the Society of the Secret Eye has planned to siege the village and destroy it in one strike! Heroes, help the frogman village to protect their village against this attack!]

Suddenly, Edward’s expression became serious. “Oh no!”

“What is it?” Gou Dan was confused.

“According to the system’s habits, for it to activate such a mission means that the enemy is already on their way!”

After he said so, he looked around to see where the frogmen had hidden their equipment.

At this time, Vela walked out of the conch house with a serious expression.

“Did you guys get that quest too?” She asked the party, to which everyone nodded back at the same time.

“Did you tell the frogmen?”

“Vaguely, but they don’t seem to have put what I’ve said in mind.”

Even though it was hard to trust their combat power from their weapons (all their weapons including Croakatoa’s spear were common, White equipment), and were the type of items that even the refugees didn’t want. That being said, it was still extremely important to be prepared.

If they could withstand an attack for one to two hours prepared, it would be a fluke to even be able to protect themselves for half an hour if they were taken off guard.

“What do we do now?” Gou Dan asked worriedly.

“Let’s go get our equipment first.” Edward was silent in thought for a while, before turning over to Eleena who was silently eating candy at a side. “Revive Joe, we need a warrior to tank damage and attract aggro of the enemies in battles of this scale.”

Eleena nodded and stuck a lollipop into her mouth. Her hands that had become porcelain pale after becoming the saintess in-training waved in the air to create a golden magic circle.

After that, the magic circle shattered like glass, turning into sparkling dust and flowing over to Joe’s corpse.

Joe twitched a few times before coming back to life.

“What happened? Did we succeed?” The first thing Joe did upon waking up was open his quest list, checking on the ‘Work Together with the Frogmen’ quest that they had accepted from Angora, and found that it had already been marked as completed.

After he happily accepted the quest rewards, he realized that everyone’s expression was strange.

“Did something happen?” Joe asked carefully.
