Chapter 179 Hunting Mission

"Brother, I can't help it!" BASF patted Roger on the shoulder and said: "Actually, it only takes four days to make a soul gem, but right now there is a shortage of the most important material, the magic crystal of a spirit-type monster, so you can only Wait!"

Although what BASF said made sense, Roger couldn't afford to wait that long, so he asked quickly, "Where can I get the magic crystal of a spirit-type monster?"

"It's hard to say, anyway, it's out of stock recently from my channel." BASF said honestly: "But you can go to the Adventurer's Union, there are often adventurers selling their spoils there, maybe you will gain something .”

"That's the only way to do it." Thinking of the strength test two months later, Roger gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you want to kill a spiritual monster, you must get the magic crystal as soon as possible!"

Seeing that Roger is so impatient to get the soul gem, BASF certainly understands that he must be under pressure from some side.It's just that the two don't have a deep friendship at the moment, so it's not easy for him to ask more questions.Seeing Roger walking out in a hurry, BASF quickly stopped him and said, "Roger! That... I have a necklace here that can prevent mental shocks, you should take it with you, in case you really want to hunt and kill spiritual monsters. on."

While talking, Bash took out a seemingly ordinary necklace and said: "This necklace can protect against three mental shock attacks every day. Let me tell you first, this is a loan, not a gift!"

Of course, Roger would not refuse such a good deed. After thanking him, he took it and hung it around his neck.I don't know what kind of material this necklace is made of, it's dark and inconspicuous, but it is definitely a good thing to be able to protect against mental shock three times a day, and it is an indispensable good thing to deal with spiritual monsters.

Of course, BASF is not doing this out of selfish help.The master alchemist is still counting on Roger to find all the other parts of the magic pattern, so naturally he doesn't want any accidents to happen to him.For BASF, lending the necklace to Roger is also an investment, hoping to bring rich returns for itself in the future.

"Sure enough, he is a master of alchemy. Once he makes a move, he is extraordinary. It's a pity that he borrowed it instead of giving it away." Feeling the feeling of the cold necklace against his neck, Roger thought to himself: "But he didn't say that he borrowed it." No need to rush to pay it back, let’s borrow it for three or 50 years and then talk about it, hehe!”

With this magic item, Roger was more confident in obtaining the spiritual magic crystal, and he left his laboratory after saying hello to BASF.

Looking at the back of Roger leaving, and thinking of the weird smile when he took the necklace, BASF suddenly felt his heart tremble, and couldn't help but said to himself: "Why do I feel a little uneasy, as if I have done something to lose money?" Business is the same..."

While BASF was still struggling with inexplicable uneasiness, Roger had already rushed to the Adventurer's Guild in the city.But the facts did not surprise Roger. Roger asked every staff member, but he couldn't find the magic crystal of the spiritual monster.In fact, this is also expected. Right now, even the alchemist BASF does not have the magic crystal that Roger wants, and the possibility of finding the magic crystal in other places is naturally very slim.

"You said that the Supreme God gave you to me, why can't you give me another insignificant magic crystal?" The disappointed Roger couldn't help complaining to the castle hub: "You still say that I am a person favored by the Supreme God, I really don't know what the old man thinks."

Castle Huber sneered at Roger's complaints, and said in a disdainful voice: "It is true that the Supreme God favors you, but it does not mean that he is your nanny. If you can't even solve such a trivial matter, you don't deserve the Supreme Being." God's favor!"

"Wouldn't he be a good man to the end, really!" Roger muttered again unwillingly, and then walked towards the last clerk of the Adventurer's Guild.

Fortunately, although the Supreme God disappointed Roger, it did not make him despair.Although the clerk didn't have the magic crystal of the spirit-type monsters on hand, he had a commission to hunt down the spirit-type monsters.This made Roger's gloomy mood a little brighter, and he hurriedly asked for the assignment letter carefully.

This commission came from the southern province of Leon. The identity of the commissioner was kept secret, and the task reward was not less than a thousand gold coins.Of course, these are not what Roger cares about. What really interests him is that the mission entrustment is only to destroy the monsters, and there is no requirement other than that, which means that the magic crystals of the monsters also belong to the adventurers who complete the mission.

The monster that needs to be hunted in the task entrustment is a junior silver-level spirit-type monster, and it is not much different from Roger's expectations.After all, it would be useless to kill a black iron-level monster without a magic crystal, and Roger, a monster with too high a level, would not be able to kill him.

Seeing that all the conditions were quite suitable, Roger no longer hesitated, expressing that he would take on this task.After paying a deposit of [-] gold coins, the clerk of the Adventurer's Union gave Roger a map showing the approximate location of the monster, and then used a special crystal pen to draw a stroke on that task, indicating that this task has already been completed. received.

After making this mark, the information about this task will disappear from the list of tasks in the hands of all the clerks of the entire Adventurer's Guild.This is also to avoid multiple teams of adventurers accepting the same task at the same time, causing unnecessary friction in the process of completing the task.Unless the adventurer accepting the mission declares to abandon the mission, or the deadline for completing the mission is exceeded, the mission will reappear so that other adventurers can accept the commission.

After accepting the entrustment of this task, Roger quickly opened the map, and after confirming the approximate location of the monster, he couldn't help but secretly sighed: "Unlucky!"

The location of the monster is near the Motgood Mountains at the southernmost tip of Leon Province. Even if you drive there from Mandos City on horseback, it will take at least ten days, plus the time to find the monster and the time to come back. It is estimated that it will be a month before I get the spiritual gem.

A month was too long for Roger, who was pressed for time, but he had no other choice, and in the end he had to choose to hunt and kill this human-faced owl.However, in order to save time, Roger decided to go to Leon Province alone, so that he could ride the Nightmare Beast there, saving at least half of the time on the road.

In order not to worry others, Roger left a letter to explain his whereabouts, and spent a silver coin to send it to the Duke's mansion after dawn.He himself took advantage of the fact that the gate of the city was not closed, and rushed out of the city to the province of Leon overnight.
