Chapter 2: A Report and a Request From a Blacksmith
âIâd like to report a completed job,â I said. âIs now a good time?â
Having returned to Maalt, I found myself across from Sheila at the Guildâs reception.
âOf course,â she said. âLetâs see, the job you took was... Ah, the one from Crask Village. Since youâre back, I assume that there werenât any issues?â
âWell...thatâs the thing...â
The job was definitely finishedâthat much was certain. However, a lot of things had happened that were pretty out of the ordinary. It would probably be best if I explained.
âDid something happen?â Sheila asked. Her time working for the Guild had apparently made her perceptive enough to pick up on my tone. She didnât seem unduly worried either.
âWell, the Crask Village job was to slay five or so skeletons that had shown up in the village. That part went smoothly enough.â
âThere was more to it?â
âYeah. There were five skeletons wandering around, sure, but then I found more. After looking into it, I figured out that they werenât random stray monsters, but there was actually a source producing skeletons near Crask.â
âMany adventurers would have asked for the job to be called off thereâbut I take it you didnât, did you, Rentt?â
Sheila had said âmany,â but my estimate was that it would be a little more than halfâmostly the Bronze-class parties for whom anything more than five skeletons could be a real threat.
With an active spawning point, someone strong enough to have a shot at stopping itâeven a group of Bronze-classers in the upper ranks would doâgenerally wouldnât cancel the job. And not because they were being reckless or overestimated themselves, but because monster spawners were dangerous phenomena that needed to be cleaned up as quickly as possible. If left for several months, in a worst-case scenario weâd suddenly have several hundred skeletons on our hands. That rarely happened, of course, but it wasnât impossible.
That was about half of all adventurers would continue with the jobâthough renegotiating the pay and conditions was possible, naturally.
âYeah, I kept going with it,â I explained. âAnd just as I figured, I found a skeleton spawner. I purified it with holy water, though, so it shouldnât be a problem anymore.â
âI see. And in regard to the increased commission fee...?â
âI spoke about it with the headman. Since the village was torn up pretty badly, I turned the offer down. I did get my food and board for free, though, as well as a number of rare ingredients and plants from the villagers, so...not a bad deal, all in all.â
âIs that so? Well, given what happened, the Guild might have had to take measures if you had received no additional pay or compensation at allâbut if youâre satisfied, Rentt, then Iâm sure thereâll be no issues. Incidentally, what rare plants did you receive?â
Iâd been surprised when Rivul had brought it up while we were eating, but apparently lutedd herbs grew in the vicinity of the village. Lutedd herbs were extremely rare and could be sold for a lot in the royal capital because they were vital to the powering mechanisms of small machinery.
