Chapter 364 Choosing A Quest
Lyrian followed Kavenough upstairs, where he was shown to a room. The bar owner opened the door and handed the key to Lyrian before leaving.
Lyrian entered, taking a first look at the room. As soon as he stepped foot inside, what he could see was a 15 by 15 foot room.
It had one window, a small bed, and a table with a small chair. He walked into a doorway inside the room to find a bathroom with nothing more than a shower, toilet, and sink.
After this, he went and fell onto the bed, arms and feet sprawled out.
He sighed, "Perfect. I don't need anything more than this."
With that, he opened the window and quickly fell asleep. The next day he awoke nearly the same way that he always awoke...
Nova chirped at his face once again, and after successfully capturing the bird, he let him go with some scolding.
Lyrian readied up and exited his room, heading straight for the Adventurer's Guild building.
As he made it out into the streets, Nova flew up into the sky, quickly disappearing somewhere up there.
Lyrian knew he could trust Nova to be around him at all times but to also explore as he saw fit.
The Pheon would only come back when it was time to sleep, and this was why Lyrian kept his window open at night.
"Soon he won't be fitting through windows..." Lyrian murmured under his breath as he entered the Adventurer's Guild.
Inside, he took a look at some of the quests on the pin board.
Those who were already inside during this early hour stared at him with awe.
It was like spotting a myth in the flesh since Lyrian's name had already spread like wildfire in the city just overnight.
Lyrian looked unimpressed looking at the quests. All of the Bronze-ranked quests were completely useless.
'I wanted some sort of small hunting quest where I could go and investigate some of the outer villages at the same time. But... all that there is here is stupid quests that are more like chores...'
He looked at the Silver-ranked quests and saw that starting from Silver, it seemed the quests began allowing you to fight.
But, it was only weak creatures like Goblins and Slimes, along with some Tree Lizards in the mix.
'Tree Lizards huh... must be a native species.' Lyrian mused, sensing some presence moving toward him at that moment.
He slightly turned his head past his shoulder to look who was behind him and saw a group of adventurers.
"Rothis?" Lyrian spoke, seeing the guy who got his autograph from yesterday.
"Yo yo! What's up, man! Looking at quests?" Rothis excitedly exclaimed, shooting some finger guns at the kid.
Behind him were two other figures, the ones Lyrian had already spotted during his Adventurer Test.
Right now, Rothis wore light brown-colored armor. His build was average, and he was about six feet in height.
The big guy behind him, however, easily towered over him. From this close, Lyrian estimated that he was at least 7 feet tall, with arms as large as his torso and feet rivaling that of a Garr's.
He wore a full, hefty armor made of stainless iron, while the woman next to him wore a latex-looking suit, with a bun of black hair that was slicked back and reached down past her waist.
Before Lyrian could say anything, the large guy walked forward and reached his hand out.
"Lord Theageld, it is a pleasure to meet you. I hear you're an acquaintance of Prince Godfrey."
Lyrian shook the man's hand, "You'd be sort of correct in assuming that."
The big guy chuckled, "Sort of eh? Well, that's good enough for me then. The names' Solvir, by the way; Solvir Heartlend"
Lyrian nodded, as Rothis spoke, "The girl who's looking away is Cylline Sofield."
Lyrian looked at the woman, who was indeed not looking at the conversation and instead seemed to be distracted by something else outside.
"Don't worry, she's not a talkative one is all." Rothis covered for her.
"So... what do you want?" Lyrian quickly questioned, slightly stunning Rothis.
"Oh well, we just wanted to see what you were looking at."
Lyrian seemed a bit skeptical, "You sure that's all?"
"No... well, we also wanted to join you in a quest, you see. It would be fun to have you alongside us... or us alongside you, I guess." Rothis exclaimed with slight nervousness.
"Huh..." Lyrian said out loud, musing, 'With them, maybe I can even do higher-ranked quests,' He paused, taking a look at their rank plates.
'All three are Platinum ranked... if I join them, I should be able to do the Gold ranked missions at least, since that's what I want to do. If I do Platinum-ranked missions, I won't be able to spend time investigating the outer villages.'
After he considered this, Lyrian retorted, "If I do quests with you guys, can I do quests that are higher ranking difficulty?"
On hearing this, Rothis' face lit up, "Oh yeah, of course! We got that sorted." Rothis sounded a bit too convincing.
"You sure?"
"Dude... we work here man. Of course, we are sure."
"Alright then, I'll let you guys join me, but that means I'll pick the quest."
Rothis and Solvir spoke in unison on hearing this, "No problem, go for it."
Lyrian turned around, having already seen what mission he wanted to do.
At that moment, however, he saw one that was even better. It wasn't Gold, but it was perfect since it included the saving of an outer village.
"This one right here." He took the quest paper off of the board.
It read;
"Platinum Ranked Quest: Otinka village is being constantly raided by Orcs. Find their hideout and wipe them out completely to save this village. Reward: 20 Gold Coins."
"A Platinum-ranked quest?" Rothis exclaimed with slight worry as he scratched the back of his head.
He and Solvir looked at each other with nervous expressions, facing Lyrian again,
"I'm sorry man, but we would get wiped out if we did a mission like that."
