Merlin accepted the quest and then turned to the barkeeper, "Do you have anything that ties into this task?"
"I thought you ht ask that, so I prepared this one for you too" The barkeeper pulled out an envelope with an interesting wax seal Green wax that waseach-other's tail "An envoy frouards to protect hiuards denied him, so he came to us"
"The oracle?" Merlin wasn't sure who he was talking about, the beta's map was based around an ancient Greek island, but the reference to Delphi was used somewhere down the line in the main world
"Ahh, that's just what the envoy called her" The bartender explained "She's soo, she's made a name for herself in Macedonia as someone who can see the future, so her followers call her the oracle"
"She goes by another title, that's what outsiders tend to be more familiar with" The bartender pointed at the wax seal on the request envelope "The Serpent-Bearer, Kilo"
Merlin nodded his head, he recognised the nah he didn't have any interactions with her in his past life, he did hear soame When he opened the envelope, a quest notification appeared
