BXBX NOVEL Chapter 81
Chapter 81
Zach, Aurora, and Aria were on their way to the guildhall after eating breakfast in the morning.
"So, why are we going to the guild hall? Aurora asked. "To get information?"
"No. We are going to complete some NPC quests to gain the knowledge of the secrets on the realms," Zach answered. "And I think the best place to get information are taverns and restaurants," he scoffed.
After reaching the guildhall, Zach looked through the NPC quests on the quest board, but he was having a hard time deciding on the quests.
"Which one are we doing?" Aria asked excitedly.
"Can we take multiple quests at once?" Ziro asked Aurora.
"Five is the limit," Aurora answered.
"Well..." Zach glanced at the quest board and uttered, "All of these quests are lame, to be honest. It’s either find this or find that or bring this or bring that."
"We should take the one which has high rewards," Aria stated.
"Why are you stating the obvious?" Zach snorted.
After looking through the quests for a while, Zach selected five quests.
«NPC Quest- Find the lost cat.»
Time- 1 hour.
Reward- 10% completion on the secret locations on the maps.
«NPC Quest- Gather yellow petals of the plant in the forest.»
Time- 1 hour.
Reward- 10% completion on the secret locations on the maps.
«NPC Quest- Fish 20 silver scaled fishes.»
Time- 2 hours.
Reward- 20% completion on the secret locations on the maps.
"This quest looks like it’s from the restaurant," Aria uttered.
«NPC Quest- Harvest 1 Acre worth grains from any farm.»
Time- 2 hours.
Reward- 30% completion on the secret locations on the maps.
«NPC Quest- Water 6 Acres of land for the crops.»
Time- 3 hours.
Reward- 30% completion on the secret locations on the maps.
"By completing these five quests, we can get all the secret locations of the capital," Zach asserted.
"I think we should split up because the time limit is too low," Aurora suggested.
"Yeah," Aria nodded and said, "I was thinking the same."
"Alright, then." Zach turned to Aurora and said, "You find the lost cat."
"Okay..."
After noticing reluctance from Aurora’s voice, Zach asked, "I can give you another quest if you want to."
"No, it’s okay. It’s just... finding a cat in one hour, especially in the capital, is almost impossible," Aurora groaned with a sigh.
"By my knowledge and experience, the cat should be in the alleys. And there are only a few alleys in the capital," Zach advised.
"At the west side? Got it."
After saying that, Aurora left to look for the cat.
Zach then turned to Aria and found her looking back at him with a grin on her face.
"What’s with that face?" Zach asked with a disgusted look on his face. "It doesn’t suit you."
Aria frowned her face as her grin vanished.
"Now that’s the face that suits you," Zach scoffed with a grin.
"Give me my quests already," Aria uttered in a disdainful tone.
"You mean ’Give me my orders, master’, right?" Zach sneered.
Aria rolled her eyes and shook her head in disbelief. She let out a weary sigh and said, "Give me my orders, master."
"Can you do two quests?" Zach asked with a curious yet calm look on his face.
"Sure."
"So... you are doing the ’fish the silver fish’ and ’gather yellow petals’," Zach stated. "The forest and the river are side by side, so it should be time-saving."
"I will message you when I am done."
After saying that, Aria left.
Zach let out a deep sigh and muttered with a chuckle: "I guess I am a farmer now."
Zach walked his way to the door where he heard the player saying, "Hey, is it true that the entire guild was annihilated by the world boss?"
Zach stopped in his tracks after hearing that. His body froze, and his mind stopped working.
"Yes."
Zach felt a sharp sting in his heart.
He rushed to the player and grabbed him by his collar before asking, "Is that true?!"
"Whoa! Who are you, dude?!" the player uttered with a surprised look on his face.
"Is that true that the entire guild was annihilated?!" Zach asked again with a concerned look on his face.
"Yes..." the player replied. "Some of my friends were in the guild. Were your friends in it too?" the player asked.
"Where is the location of the world boss?" Zach asked with a furious look on his face.
"Don’t tell me you plan to go—"
"Where is the location of the world boss?" Zach asked again with an emotionless expression on his face.
The player opened his map and circled the area after saying, "It should be around here."
Zach dashed out of the guildhall and rushed to the location.
It was within the mountains.
Zach ran with only one thought in his mind: "Victoria... Shay...."
Zach didn’t have time to think of anything, and even if he had, he had no idea what to do.
After reaching the location, Zach conjured a fire sword in his hand and uttered in a solemn voice, "Fill the second slot with the magic weapon too."
Another fire sword appeared in Zach’s other hand.
Even though it was a bright sunny day outside, it was night there because the sunlight couldn’t reach deep within the mountains.
However, upon looking at the uniform of the guild members, Zach noticed it was different.
"That’s not the uniform of Victoria’s guild..." Zach muttered as he retracted his swords.
"Didn’t that player say the top 3rd guild?" Zach wondered. "And Victoria’s guild is number three... right?"
The player who was talking about the number three guild wasn’t aware that the guild had become the number two guild.
It was all a misunderstanding caused by the player.
However, now that the number two guild was annihilated, the number three guild— Victoria’s guild was now at the second position.
Zach sighed in relief and muttered, "I almost lost my cool there."
’Wait...’ Zach raised his brows and wondered, ’Does that mean I can get that legendary spell scroll if I defeat the world boss?’
