Chapter 130 - Trap a demon (2/2)

”He never told his nephew about it?” asked Shadow.

”I think they knew it would be extremely dangerous and if they told the baron, he would try and follow them. So, they lied to him. But I was told the truth. He wanted me to safeguard the baron in case anything happens. The members of the temple that came to investigate also informed me that there were signs of a fight and death of few demons. Nothing happened for a long time and we assumed that the danger had passed.”

”Well, now we know better. So, do you have any thing that could help us?” asked Shadow.

”There is a room which he has specifically prepared in case of such an event. It had been enchanted by deacon Lockhart and I have its control. He had thought me quite a few skills other than being a priest,” said Faroon.

”Can it be used to capture the demon?” asked Shadow.

”It was meant to kill, but it can also be used to imprison the demon. For that I need you to hold it down in the room for at least ten minutes,” said Faroon.

”I can try it out. No harm in that, but in case I fail could we kill it?” asked Shadow. His main priority was to kill the demon and get rid of it. Capturing it was just an optional quest. It wasn't necessary for him to do it. So, he wanted to make sure that they would be able to kill it.

”Killing it wouldn't be a problem. Even if you don't hold it in for 10 minutes, I have a method to deal a lot of damage to it, but that would also leave me vulnerable and we are not sure if he is the last one. So, I intend to capture it,” said Faroon.

”Fine, we shall try it out,” said Shadow. It was an hour left for the sundown and Balthazar knew that once it was night the demon would probably try to attempt to attack him after sundown. Roaming around the town and completing some other quest would be dangerous, but he couldn't do much staying at the temple either.

”Damn, the quest is going to make me waste a lot of time,” he thought. ”Could I browse the library of the temple till sundown,” asked Shadow. Though the library or study of the barons or the temples in these towns wouldn't have any information about occupations or techniques that he didn't know due to his previous life, it would still help him to get to know about the town.

The Jarko town seemed to be quite well developed and had a river flowing through it. If he found out more about the town, it would help him understand it better and allow him to get more resources from the town. After all, he owned a guild and would want to gain power in the town to get a good share of its resources.

”Ah! Mr. Shadow. I can provide you access to most of the common books in the library, but the legacy of the deacons can't be touched. I hope that you wouldn't attempt to go through that section,” said the deacon giving him a token.

He quickly took the token and made way to the library behind Faroon. ”Do you know what kind of demon it is or anything about its origins?” asked Shadow. Though Faroon told him that all the knowledge that he had about this situation was from his predecessor, he hoped that some kind of information about it could be obtained. It would definitely improve his chances in getting another quest. As the artifact had been taken to the great priest before, he was sure that it was an important thing and there was a chance for him to get a continuation quest.

Continuation quests were what the players called the quests which had a big lore and the quests ended up being tool long that they were divided into multiple parts. The different parts of these quests could be done by the same player or most times multiple players get to do different parts of these quests. So, whenever a player had a doubt that it could be a continuation quest, he would try to get as much information from the NPCs as possible. It was a chance to get another strong quest.

”I was only told that the demons were remnants of a great war and had been in hiding for a long time. Deacon Lockhart had accidentally found their hiding place and found out about them and their plans. Though he was quite powerless alone, he couldn't simply not do anything about it. So, he stole that artifact and returned to his home to study it. When he couldn't do much, he informed the great priest, Luciophel who was an acquaintance of his,” said Faroon.

”So, the name of the group or their origins?” asked Shadow trying to pry out more information.

”I have no idea. He refused to inform anyone of it. I doubt even his brother, the previous baron knew much about those details. He just told that this group wouldn't want to attack them openly as they intended to keep a low profile. The artifact was just a means for the demons to speed up their activities and grows stronger faster,” said Faroon.

Balthazar was totally stumped. He knew nothing of such a quest from his previous life. He had read a lot of books and lore too, but none of it had anything similar to this quest. ”I guess, I can't rely on my memories for this one,” thought Balthazar as he followed Faroon to the first floor.
