Sequence adventurers roaming between two worlds
Chapter 46: End of Commission, Inventory of Results
"Gurgle gurgle..."
The carriage wheels moved slowly forward on the forest road.
A gentle breeze blew in, ruffling the hem of Leo's clothes.
At this moment, he was sitting in the side seat of the driver's seat, examining two irregular black crystals in his hand.
These are two dark fragments left behind after the male and female ferocious wolves died.
"It's a bit bigger than the goblin leader's."
"If you add two together, that's roughly three standard units?"
Leo seemed to be deep in thought.
However, these two Dark Fragments are the team's spoils of war, and how much he will get will depend on how Sekoda, the team leader, distributes them later.
For now, he is only temporarily keeping it in custody.
Leo put away the dark fragments and turned his gaze to the back of the carriage.
Behind their carriage were two other carriages—those of the caravan survivors who had been attacked by the ferocious wolf.
The caravan, which originally had more than 20 people, is now reduced to less than 10 people, and more than 70% of its goods have been destroyed, resulting in heavy casualties.
The caravan did have guards, but they were mostly "newcomers" who had mastered one or two professional skills but were far from being proficient. When facing a real challenge monster like the ferocious wolf, they were not much different from ordinary people.
Leo withdrew his gaze and shook his head.
This world is never peaceful. Ordinary people without power often meet a tragic end when faced with rampaging monsters.
This is also why he has been constantly pursuing extraordinary power.
He wanted to live a good life!
If conditions permit, once I become powerful enough, I'll find a prosperous area, marry a beautiful wife, and live a life of luxury and happiness.
Speaking of marriage... Leo couldn't help but think that in this world, besides humans, there are many other humanoid races.
A petite and tall elf, a fox-woman with a fluffy tail, and a slender catwoman...
From this perspective, it is indeed a blessing to be born into this world!
……
After some time, the carriage returned to Baihe Town.
Inside the Adventurers' Guild's Director's Office.
"What?!"
"There are two ferocious wolves? Plus nearly ten cubs!"
Seeing the pale-faced Sekoda with his right hand hanging limply in front of him, Lucas, as the branch president, was visibly shocked.
As a professional, he knew perfectly well that facing one ferocious wolf was a completely different matter from facing two ferocious wolves plus nearly ten cubs.
The former, the temporary team composed of two professionals, Sekoda and Gus, still has the possibility of being defeated; the latter, however, is a question of whether this temporary team can return alive.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness, you're all back."
Lucas breathed a sigh of relief: "This time, it was a huge oversight in the guild's intelligence. The mission wasn't completed, so don't worry, the guild will provide you with ample compensation..."
There are not many permanent professionals in Baihe Town to begin with, not to mention professionals, there are not many even reserve professionals.
If two professionals and three reserve professionals were to be lost at once, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, before Lucas could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Sekoda, who was standing in front of the desk, in a weak voice:
"Um, President."
The wanderer carefully chose his words: "Actually, we have completed our mission of subjugation."
"It's alright, you don't need to blame yourself. On the contrary, the fact that you're back is the best outcome... Wait, what did you say?"
Lucas initially thought that Sekoda felt guilty for failing to complete the mission and was about to offer some words of comfort, but the next moment, he suddenly realized something.
"You're saying you've completed your mission?!"
Overwhelmed with shock, Lucas abruptly stood up, leaning his upper body forward so far that he almost pressed his face against Sekoda's.
"...That's true." A complex expression appeared on Sekoda's face.
It was a mix of amazement, shock, and joy.
He didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "It's Leo."
"He played a crucial role in this punitive expedition."
"With the assistance of two reserve professionals, he not only beheaded the male ferocious wolf and killed nine pups, but also came to our aid and joined forces with us to kill the female ferocious wolf."
"He deserves immense credit for this project!"
Lucas sat back down in his chair, muttering repeatedly, "Leo, Leo..."
He was impressed by this "newcomer" who had just joined the White River Town Adventurers' Guild.
Not long ago, the record of Leo's request to join forces with the Goblin Slayer Squad to defeat the Goblin Leader was personally authorized and approved by him.
However, Lucas never expected that less than half a month later, this newcomer, whose talent even made the Silver Sword Maiden delighted and who wanted to teach him the legendary breathing technique that no one had ever successfully mastered, would re-enter his field of vision in such a "form"!
If what Sekoda said is true, then the speed at which this "newcomer" has improved is simply astonishing...
"Truly, the younger generation is formidable!"
After a long pause, Lucas sighed.
"Sekda, thank you for your hard work on this assignment."
"Go back and get some rest."
"The re-approved commission will be delivered to you personally by a designated person."
……
Leo let out a soft breath in front of the Wild Boar Tavern.
Instead of going to the Adventurers' Guild with Sekoda to deliver the commission, he took the injured Guts and the others to the clinic for treatment.
Speaking of healing, he couldn't help but think of Captain Goku.
He was severely injured and was sent to the Church of Light for treatment. I don't know how he is now.
Shaking his head, Leo looked at the caravan behind him and said, "Just leave Miss Wu Xue to me."
Upon hearing this, the caravan leader, a middle-aged man with a troubled face, nodded hurriedly and had someone carry the unconscious girl out of the carriage and hand her to Leo.
"My benefactor, then I'll have to trouble you."
"Also, I will submit an additional reward to the guild for your help this time."
Leo nodded, not refusing.
This is what their makeshift team deserves.
Adventurers rescuing caravans attacked by monsters on the road, and afterwards the caravans providing additional rewards to the guild, is a common practice in this world.
This move is intended to encourage adventurers to lend a helping hand to ordinary people as much as possible within their capabilities.
Just as doing good deeds needs to be rewarded for society to form a positive cycle.
And most of the caravans that profit from the trade will comply.
Even if they didn't have the money at the time, they would find a way to raise it later.
Carrying the unconscious girl, Leo entered the Wild Boar Tavern.
As soon as she entered the room, Yotsuba, who had been looking distracted, immediately opened her eyes wide.
"Five Snowflakes!"
The tray in her hand fell to the ground, spilling the beer from the glasses on it.
But she didn't care about any of that. She rushed forward in a panic and looked at her pale-faced sister in Leo's arms. Her face showed panic and she didn't know what to do.
"It's alright, she's just temporarily unconscious due to exhaustion."
"You'll be fine after a rest."
Leo comforted him softly.
"Miss Yotsuba, please lead the way. I'll take your sister to her room so she can rest properly."
"Yes, yes! We need to rest properly!" The girl dressed as a maid woke up as if from a dream and quickly led the way.
A moment later, after placing Wu Xue on the bed, Leo stepped out of the room and saw Miss Yotsuba, who was tightly gripping the white hem of her maid's uniform, bowing deeply and forcefully to him.
Her movement caused her white stockings to be torn and stretched taut, further accentuating the fullness of her thighs.
Yotsuba's voice was choked with sobs and filled with lingering fear.
"Mr. Leo, thank you so much!"
Leo shook his head, about to say something, when suddenly, rapid footsteps came from the wooden stairs not far away.
Then, a girl who resembled Yotsuba but had a voluptuous figure rushed forward anxiously.
"Yotsuba, how is Itsuki?"
This time, without Leo having to say much, Miss Yotsuba told her older sister the whole story.
After a while.
Wearing her guild uniform, Sanhua bowed deeply to Leo once again.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Leo."
Unlike the four-leaf clover, the snow mound in front of the bowing three-flower trembled violently a few times.
Compared to Yotsuba, Mika, who is a guild receptionist, quickly adjusted her emotions.
She straightened up and said sincerely and gracefully, "We will definitely repay your kindness."
"However, before that."
A smile appeared on her face: "Let me give you the payment for this urgent request first."
"Given the increased difficulty of the task, the reward has also been increased accordingly. Please check your account."
It was approved so quickly?
Leo was somewhat surprised, but more than that, he was delighted.
He looked eagerly at the reward.
