25 Mission board (2/2)

There Ajax saw many missions with their danger rating below it.

Soon he saw Edmond picked a mission from the mission board and left with Ajax to sit in the lobby.

But Ajax saw the mission details clearly

”Protect the Mason family's caravan from Goldcrest to Coalfell

Duration of the mission:- 10 days.

Reward :- 10,000 Fire element spirit stones

Danger rating :- B+

Ajax didn't ask anything about the mission to Edmond and just looked around with curiousity.

Soon the beautiful receptionist came towards them and gave Ajax a bronze colour badge which has a symbol of 'H' on it.

”This is the bronze badge for Hazegrove mercenary squad”, Edmond explained about 'H' to ajax.

” Here, this is your reward for the completion of the previous mission, sir Edmond”, with smile she gave the same previous spirit ring to Edmond.

Edmond just put it away without checking it and gave her the new mission paper he just took from the mission board.

”Add it to the name of Hazegrove mercenary squad”, Edmond said after giving it.

” Yes sir”, she took it and left again.

After she left, Edmond and Ajax also returned to their living residence.

.....

In the depths of the cursed wilderness

”Are we finally going to die here??? ”, said a youth with scratches all over his body.

” No, we should try to escape from this beast, if we don't Ajax's sacrifice will be in vain”, said another youth with bloody wound on his back.

”But, this damned beast is playing with us for the past 1 hour”, said the first youth.

Besides them, there is one youth who is unconsciously lying on the ground.

They are Ajax's friends who ran in to the cursed wilderness to escape from the assassin.

They survived in the cursed wilderness for five days based on their pure luck but now that luck is finally over as they became a playing toy for a beast.

Soon, as though the beast lost its interest in toying with them, it jump at them in an attempt to kill them all at once.

However, before it even reached them, a shadow came for the groud and made a blood hole in it, and Killed it.

After killing the beast, it took the shape of a human silhouette and stared at them.

Just looking at it made them shiver unconsciously. But soon they heard a familiar voice, ”Hey brats, what are you doing here”.

Seeing the familiar figure in the far made them shocked but finally they heaved a sigh of relief.
