Weapon seller in the world of magic

Chapter 20 Unlucky Mo Jiang (Part-1)

"Finally." After desperately running for his life during the past three hours, Mo Jiang finally saw a blue barrier that was glowing in the darkness. He was elated and increased his speed to the maximum, not hesitating to burn his life force.

The Gray wolf also caught its sight and increased its speed. The distance between them decreased rapidly. Just as it almost caught up to its target, the gray wolf saw the barrier was just ten meters away.

It hastily opened its mouth and gathered the natural energy that transformed into a lightning ball.

It was shot towards Mo Jiang's back.

At the same time, Mo Jiang who almost reached the barrier leaped towards it.

He flew through the barrier and fell on the ground while the lightning ball hit the barrier and disappeared.

*Woof*

It let out a powerful bark and growled at Mo Jiang before turning around to leave.

Meanwhile, Mo Jiang started laughing in excitement as he walked down the path. "Finally, I'm alive. Hahaha… Eh?"

He stumbled on a place where there are a series of caves side by side. Several Orcs could be seen staring at him with their clubs.

"Not again," Mo Jiang's scream was echoed in the surroundings.

Twelve hours ago, Imperial city;

After purchasing pieces of equipment from the Everlasting store, Mo Jiang and his two teammates left for the Guild district that houses many guilds from big ones like Swordmasters to even a ten-member guild like Castle Rover.

Mo Jiang's two teammates were all smiles as they were wearing newly purchased gold-graded armor and weapon until they realized they entered a different street.

Soon, they stopped before a two-story building. "Hell Sky?" As soon as they read the name, a figure appeared in both of their heads. They shivered for a second.

"Captain, we aren't going for another joint mission with Hell Sky, are we?" One of them asked the buffed adventurer.

"There's nothing to be worried about." Mo Jiang told them before stepping inside the guild. They too followed him inside only to see a cheerful busty lady who was looking at the Quest board spotted them and waved her hands with a smile. "Mo Jiang, here."

Two of the subordinates halted their footsteps right away with a frightened look on their faces. "Sister Qian?"

Just a few days ago, they had done a mission with her and almost died in facing the six realm beast. Of course, their Captain was happier with their performance and gifted them gold-graded equipment but still, they intended to avoid this devil at all costs.

Both of them looked at each other and nodded together.

One of them then spoke, "Captain, I just remembered that I need to take my grandfather to Healer Cai."

"Captain, I think my stomach is upset. I'm sorry that I can't…"

Before his words ended, Mo Jiang put his hands over the two of their shoulders and caught them, "don't you dare. You are coming with me."

The lady who was in the realm of 6-circle picked up a paper and rushed towards them.

"It's good that you came here at the perfect time." She raised her hand and showed the paper to Mo Jiang. "Just now, I thought you weren't going to arrive and about to take another mission. Now that you are here, you can join us."

"Damn, we should have come late." Both of the subordinates thought the same thing as they knew the mission is going to be troublesome and often filled with risk.

Freeing his subordinates, Mo Jiang took it and read it.

Mission: Bring the dead body of a six-circle Gray werewolf. The heart should not receive irreversible damage.

Rank: AA

Requirements: At least ten spirit warriors of the 5-circle realm (One spirit warrior of the six-circle realm can replace three spirit warriors of the 5-circle realm."

Reward: 80000 gold coins, 8 High-grade Ether crystals.

"AA?" As soon as the subordinates read the difficulty of the mission, imaginary tears started to flow down their cheek. The last time it was only A, and now, it was AA. "We are so dead."

Starting with Sector-9 and Sector-8, the mission in them are usually either E or D-rank.

For Sector-7, the missions will be either D or C rank.

For Sector-6, the missions will be C, B, or BB rank.

For Sector-5, the missions will be B, BB, or A rank.

For Sector-4, the missions will be A, AA, or AAA rank.

And for the deepest three sectors, they will range from S to SSS. Of course, those missions will not be available for any specific guild.

Each mission has certain requirements and the adventurers could only accept them and get the reward if they met them.

All of the guilds follow the same system that was created by the Adventurers Association.

The top five guilds namely, the Swordmasters guild, the Magician guild, the Rangers guild, the Summoner guild, and the Assassin guild, have thousands of members. So, they don't need to worry about these rules.

However, the rest of the guilds would have less manpower and even more so a very few experts of advanced realms (5-circle and above). So, they would often join with other guild experts or hire Mercenaries.

It is now exactly the same situation where Mo Jiang, a guild member of Swordmasters is helping out Qian Da who is a member of Hell Sky.

Even Mo Jiang hesitated for a bit, mainly due to their target. Werewolves aren't like other beasts. They are intelligent, a bit stronger, and faster than fellow 6-circle realm beasts.

The only thing that's a relief is that they are very low in numbers. So, it is almost impossible to meet with multiple werewolves at the same time.

Thinking of the rewards, especially the high-grade ones, Mo Jiang said okay to her.

Handing him a pouch full of gold coins, "here, 1000 gold coins as your advance payment. Upon successful completion, you will get one-fourth of the rewards as we promised."

Ten minutes later, Qian Da gathered the remaining eight members where three of them are in the same realm as Mo Jiang's teammates.

Their state of mind seemed to be similar too. But, none of these 4-circle realms could defy their captains who had a certain influence in the city.

The five 4-circle realm adventurers then collectively took an Advancement pill and raise their realm to a level higher for the next hour.

It was a trick that small guilds use to accept the missions. The receptionist who was employed by the Adventurer association scanned their realm with the help of a gold-graded mirror and gave the approval.

The team of twelve set for the Bloodhill forest just like other teams.
