Chapter 311 - Missing Clue (4) (2/2)
The second bandit also heard the shout of his leader. He looked over to find that his leader had died. With the wound he had, he knew that he could not escape death. So, before Auron and his friend could do anything to him, he committed suicide.
This suicide ends the battle that had been going on. All of the bandits' corpse immediately disappeared. And, from the second bandit's location, there was a badge.
Semial and Remus, who was an NPC, didn't wonder about the missing corpse. It was because the game had altered their mind to find that such a disappearing body was common.
Auron went over and took the badge. This was actually a quest item. As a player, he had been guided by the system through the quest. Previously, when he was in the old man's house and stated his intention to look for the missing goods, the system created him a quest.
The quest told him to go to this place and search for a clue. Surprisingly, after searching for more than half an hour, he could not find any clue. This left him confused because the quest didn't say any exact detail.
Fortunately, when he was about to left the place, he met with these three bandits. Auron immediately knew that these three bandits were related to the quest. And, just as Auron had thought, when he picked the badge, his quest was updated.
The update quest told him to inquire about this badge from the adventurer association in Mischelvin. With a new lead, Auron prepared to use [Return Scroll]. He didn't forget to give Semial and Remus a heads up about where he was going.
A few seconds later, Auron, Semial, and Remus came out of the teleportation gate in Mischelvin. Since time was ticking, they didn't dare to dilly dally and directly went to the adventurer association.
The adventurer association in Mischelvin was bustling with activities. It was because Mischelvin was a first-rate town that was about to upgrade to a city.
Auron arrived at the adventurer association and went to the front desk. He put the badge at the table and said, ”Tell me everything you know about this insignia.”
Auron didn't forget to put some money besides the insignia. The office clerk looked at the badge and the money. Then, he said, ”It was not enough. You need to double the amount.”
Auron was shocked to hear that. Usually, a normal inquiry would only cost this much. When the amount was doubled, then it means the information was a secret or was involved in a bigger situation.
However, to finish this quest, Auron didn't negotiate at all and just took out the necessary amount. The clerk accepted the money and gave Auron a piece of paper with information inside. Taking the piece of paper, Auron and his group went outside of the adventurer association before reading the content.
After reading the content, Auron was shocked by the information. It was said that the badge belonged to the one and only bandit's group around this area. And, what shocked Auron more was there was a rumor around that the leader of the bandit's group was Trito, the town's head. However, there was no proof of Trito involvement with the bandit's group.
