Chapter 47 (1/2)

Starting the Gold Scheme

Let’s review it, shall we? Fifty-seven gold pieces. That’s what I got after selling the wyvern materials. Three golds and sixty silvers. That’s what we got for the orc materials. Add all of this up and I have sixty golds and sixty silvers. That’s what I had in all.

Now, as for this ice dragon armor that was scheduled to become my new equipment. Breastplate, gauntlets, boots and leggings, all of this was forty golds. Then there were the wind dragon clothes. Inners, trousers, and poncho with a hood. All of these had enchantments cast on them. They cost sixty gold pieces in all. And all of this would have cost me a hundred pieces of gold, had I not been able to negotiate and bring it down to sixty-five.

In other words, I required four golds and forty silvers. It was an amount I could get if I just went out and exterminated all of the gra.s.s wolves. Of course, that would only result in a storm of abuse my way by others whose profession relied on them. My safest bet was to patiently work through different quests. Plus, Daniela said that she would help me, so the work wouldn’t be too bad. Though, I wasn’t going to let her carry me through this either. I would do my best.

So that sums it up. I was now in front of the quest board. It was aboard with a variety of quests nailed to it. I went through them, examining the contents.

“Hmm… Seems the hunting quests pay the most.”

Gra.s.s wolves, goblins, even kobolds, which I had yet to actually see. I think they were those monsters with dog heads.

“Oh? What is this?”

A certain quest catches my eye. It read ‘Wyvern Hunt Request.’ Wasn’t the last one just killed? I think as I continued to read.

“Let’s see… ‘the mate of the wyvern that was slain this afternoon has been sighted. We request that it be hunted.’ …Hmm, a couple, eh?”

Apparently, they had scouted the surrounding area after the fight and discovered a nest. Just like the orcs, these wyverns must have wandered in from a different area. Well, this was a little too much for me. I would leave it to stronger adventurers.

Ultimately, this meant that the only thing left for me to do was to go wipe out some mob creatures. I could camp out a little and kill some gra.s.s wolves and goblins.

I tore off the requests for goblin and gra.s.s wolf hunting from the board, and took them to the Quest counter to have them issued.

“By the way, you have now reached level 36. You can now be promoted to Rank D, also called ‘Olivine.'”

“Olivine, huh?”

Commonly known as peridots. I guess I was now a gemstone at last.
