CHAPTER 10

“I’M NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT BEING out of the sewers, Asin, but did we have to take quests so far away?” Trudging out of the city, Daniel grumbles as he hefts his backpack. They had only been in Silverstone for a few days, as it stood, and now they had left it again on another quest. This one involved a visit to a nearby village to help the farmers fight off attacking vermin while they completed their harvesting.

It was not a glamorous job, but it certainly paid well as the farmers needed to attract the Adventurers away from the Dungeons. Luckily, with the Skills that most farmers gained, they were able to manage and see to large tracts of land, allowing them to handle the expense. Truthfully, from Asin’s point of view, the most important aspect of the quest was for once not the pay but that it got the pair out of Silverstone and away from that traitorous, two-faced Catkin.

Seeing that his partner has decided to ignore him, Daniel glances over to the side and spots a familiar face from the Guild Hall. Not seeing a guild badge on the group, Daniel diverts himself slightly to say hi.

“Morning there!” Daniel calls out, and the group of Adventurers turns to him. The middle-aged, slightly potbellied mace wielder he spotted eyes Daniel for a moment before grinning and waving to Daniel.

“You’re the youngsters from Karlak,” the older gentlemen replies, smiling.

“Yes. I’m Daniel.”

“Lin. This is Ingrid and Jorge,” Lin indicates his older companions, a redhead in an old but well-maintained suit of chainmail and a darker skinned, spear-wielding companion in turn. “You heading to Ilquin too?”

“That’s right. The quest pays very well,” Daniel says.

“Definitely. It’s why we do it. I’m impressed you managed three days in the sewers though. Most groups give up after the first.”

Ingrid shudders at the mention of the sewers and Daniel finds himself rubbing his nose, the smell coming back to him once again. He is not surprised that the group knows of their exploits, Adventurers had a tendency to gossip worse than housewives. After all, learning as much as you could about the monsters and levels you would face could keep an Adventurer alive.

“Which Dungeon do you run otherwise?” Daniel asks, curiosity filling his voice.

“None,” Jorge answers for the group and seeing Daniel’s surprised look, he continues. “We’re questors.”

“Huh?”

“We don’t run Dungeons anymore, Daniel. We focus on quests only,” Ingrid quickly explains, her voice surprisingly high pitched for such a rough looking woman. “We gave up on all of that dangerous delving a while ago. That’s what questors are - Adventurers who only do quests.”

“Oh…” Daniel falls silent then frowns. “But we were told there weren’t enough quests being taken up.”

“Not at your level,” Lin chuckles. “Just because we’re retired doesn’t mean we want to do fetch quests or the sewer.”

“Is this dangerous then?” Daniel frowns, recalling that Asin had appeared at his door this morning with the quest already taken.

“No, not really. It’s a longer quest since it takes a few days for the harvest to be brought in, but overall, it’s a pretty easy quest.
