Chapter 206 - First Quest (1/2)

After leaving the inn, Jack and Gary decided to do as Ray asked and started to head towards the Guild hall. On the way there, they passed many different stalls that sold all sorts of things including food.

Jack placed his hand on his belly as he heard it growl a few times realizing he was a lot hungrier than he thought.

”Sorry man, we don't have any money, like Ray said we need to start earning coin on our own,” Gary said.

They continued to walk past all the market stalls until they had eventually reached the Guild hall.

”I guess we head to notice board,” Gary said unsure of what to do.

Neither Jack or Gary had been an adventurer before and it was their first time taking a quest. The two of them walked up to the notice board and noticed that all the Quests had been split up into different categories depending on their rank.

That's when Gary spotted a quest that was requested by Lilly in the D section.

A duel shall take place in the midlands hunting grounds. Your job will be to escort and protect a party.

The request placed made it sound like a simple task to attract as many people as possible, there was also a generous reward for the quest. Lilly had placed the quest for the duel that was to take place a week later between Ray and the Demon man.

Just then a young man noticed Ray looking at the quest.

”I think that quest is a bit out of your league,” the young man said.

The man looked to be twenty at most, he had short brown spikey hair and was wearing a bandana on his head.

”The names Mike,” Mike said as held out his hand.

”Gary,” Gary replied shaking his hand back.

”Just to warn you, even if you could take that quest not many people are going for It, rumours are going around that it has something to do with the shadow plague. The quest Rank should be higher for something like that so not many people are interested.”

Gary thought as much, most likely these rumours were being spread by members of Fallen angle themselves.

”I and my friend here are kind of new, do you know what quests we're allowed to do?”

Mike looked carefully at Gary's tag and noticed it said F.

”Yikes, you're really only allowed to do Quests that are in your rank, But most of the F class quests are just gathering items or helping out around the city. You won't get much F class quest slaying beasts around here.”

Gary hated the idea of helping people out with moving their furniture or going to collect herbs. He had trained hard every day to become a knight and fight, not to do chore work.

”I can see you're a bit upset by that.” Mike said, ”Your weapons look decent, are you two good fighters?”
