I changed my weapon into a Staff once again and cast Ice Prison to stun them before following a Shocking Lightning towards the frozen Birds of Flames.

Those damages are too horrible. These guys are one level higher than me that is why they are troublesome too. I didn't notice a few Birds of Flame that escaped the grasp of Ice Prison and shoots some Fireball to me. I dodged a few though I am still unlucky as I got hit by a few fireballs.

-Inflicted Burn!
Oh f*ck. They hit so hard. My 1240 HP is going to drain so fast due to the burn. I drank a. Burn Potion before moving again and taking a potion I bought which gives me 300 HP in one intake. I once again casted Ice Prison once again hitting them. However, some are able to avoid my Ice Prison immediately, making them hard to beat. I used my Shocking Lightning before I got beaten up by these birds. I managed to gain 10 pieces of Feather of Flames after beating 50 Birds of Flame. My Mana is exhausted so I decided to withdraw against them. I did not bring any Mana regeneration potion making it hard to deal against them. Also, my Health Potion is also running out which is pretty hard to buy since I am lacking in funds. However, it is alright. 10 Feathers of Flames are already plenty. In the past, I have to take 2 days full to gain 40 Feathers of Flames. It is pretty hard to gain at all that is why I am already happy to earn 10.
Feathers of Flames has a 50% drop rate when killing Birds of Flames when using Stealth kill while they have 35% drop rate if killed using magic. It is pretty restricted that is why having them killed via magic is much better than dealing them stealthily. I can do stealth kill against them but I don't need to risk it. My risk of dying is too high. Birds of Flames also yield small Exp, making them really bad for farming.
After making sure the Health Potion is still sufficient in supply, I decided to continue hunting. My Mana Bar is full andI can do another round of hunting. Since Birds of Flames are intelligent, I have to change my play style and by combining the skill of the Magic Knight and Magician, they have not expected I will change my tactics. This time around, I used different combinations using the Magic Knight skill and Magician skills which caught them unguarded, letting me kill 50 of them.
This time, I got lucky to manage and obtain 15 feathers only leaving me another 15 feathers left to farm. I also obtained randomly a few Flame Essence which is a necessary item for making a weapon good for Magic Knights. However, it only amounted into two Flame Essence which is too small.
I can't continue fetching another Feathers of Flames due to my insufficiently stock of Health Potion, making me in a troubled duration so I decided to return to the Capital to restock my Health Potion.
Reaching back into town, I have sold Flame Rocks to the Blacksmith Shop, which makes the Head Blacksmith who is an Elf which is pretty rare for the blacksmiths as they are usually Dwarves who do so. She is Almira, the second top beauty NPC in the game.
”Thank you for supplying me a few Flame Rocks. I am in current need of it due to the current demand of the mage association of the Blazar Rod. I hope you can procure me another round of Flame Rocks? The more the better! Don't worry, I will reward you depending on how many you have sold to me,” Almira said to me and a quest notification appeared.
Flame Rocks Procurement (Chain Quest)
Difficulty: B
Description:Almira the head blacksmiths wanted you to procure Flame Rocks for the in demand supply. The more, the better.
Reward:???
Warning: Declining on this quest leads you to voiding this quest, depriving you the chance to gain a secret quest.
Will you accept the quest?
I was a bit perplexed. I never expected to encounter a quest like this. I don't remember anyone manage to obtain this quest. However, I am delighted since I can now get another secret quest. I accepted the quest immediately and since there is no time limit, I decided to just let it go later on after I obtain all of the ingredients so that I have nothing to worry later on.
After restocking, I returned to the Scorching Lands to hunt these troublesome birds. I will not let these flaming birds drain my money.
