Chapter 91: Mission at the Desert

---

...

A few weeks have passed since I arrived at this Kingdom, nothing much has passed after I became a Knight (A temporary one), I did accidentally broke a record when I went to the Mages guild to learn some of the magic from this place. It seemed that I actually had a bit more mana than a girl called Yuuki, who was known as the best sorceress of the whole Kingdom, which in turn ended in me making quite the havoc...

*Sigh...*

Being the best is tough...

After that, I continued doing my routine without that much problem. I investigated several books about magic and the fundamentals of mana. And although I haven't really checked up any new types of magic until now, I was gonna do it eventually. The theoretic book of Mana was pretty interesting, but unfortunately extremely large, so it was taking me some time to finish it completely.

As for my money...  After understanding the currency of this Kingdom, which was still using the simple system of copper, silver, and gold coins monetary system from the ages before the Great war, I tried selling my potions at the main street right away. However, it seemed that the people were a bit wary of me due to the brutal act that I performed at the coliseum. Luckily, the fear only lasted one or two days before the people started approaching out of curiosity, which then ended up in all of them recommending my potions to their friends and acquaintances.

So, I was gathering money pretty quickly even though I had not received my payment as a Knight yet. My small fortune had accumulated and reached the astounding amount of 57 Gold coins!

How much did I need for the ship, you may ask?

At least 1000 Gold coins... or 10 platinum coins, both of them worked either way.

I was going slow but surely!

Though... I was getting a bit anxious thinking that when I came back to my house, mechanic bosses would be destroying everything around it.

But whatever, if it happens it happens then. In the worst case, I can just go to an isolated island and live there for the rest of my life.

"Everyone, today we have a mission!!"

While I was still lost in my thoughts, suddenly I heard the voice of that Jeffrey guy yelling at all of us.

"Since you all know very well, we are deemed to be the most important squad of Knights in the whole kingdom due to our strength and advanced abilities in combat!" Jeffrey crossed his arms and looked at all the knights present with a proud expression on his face (Not me though).

Why this sudden flattery, will something bad happen?

"And since we are the elite squad of this Kingdom, we have been given a very dangerous and important mission personally by his majesty! I guess most of you might have already heard of the news about the great weapon that Sir Delbere will create to destroy the whole nest of Antlions in one go, right?"

""Yes sir""

"Since you know that, then I won't explain about it. However, since that weapon will probably destroy everything in its surroundings, we have been tasked with the mission of recovering the artifacts we lost after the city of Areinia was destroyed by the Antlions. These artifacts are The legendary Storm Spear, wielded by an old hero from the ages before the Great war, and used to decimate entire armies! The Almighty Staff of Thunder, used by the best mages of their times to fight the most dangerous monsters of all times, and finally, The Mysterious Conch of Poseidon, which belonged to the mythic hero Poseidon, who fought against the powerful demon Cthulhu and unfortunately lost his life during the battle. We have yet to unravel the mysteries of this artifact, but we believe that if we continue researching it, in a near future we might discover its use! Thus, in order to retrieve these three artifacts before the entire area gets destroyed, it has been decided that we will depart in a week towards the lost city of Areinia!"

*Whisper*

"Now, I know that most of you are dubious about going to such a dangerous place with just us. And you are right, even though we are the elite squad of Knights from this Kingdom, it is not wise to underestimate the Antlions and their ferocity. Thus, we will receive the aid of the strongest sorceress from the Kingdom, princess Yuuki!!"

Ex-strongest you mean...

*Gasps*

"Princess Yuuki? Then this mission actually has a chance of success!"

"I heard that she destroyed an entire army of Antlions with her magic alone! If we go with her then we will probably manage to retrieve the artifacts easily!"

"Even Antlions won't stop us from retrieving the weapons of Humanity!!"

The crowd of Knights exploded in cheers as soon as they heard the name of that seemingly famous princess. Which should mean that she was pretty strong, or at least enough to accompany us on this mission. Otherwise, I couldn't see why could the King send a princess on a mission where the risk of dying is very close to 100%.

Was she an unwanted child?

Maybe I'm being a bit mean here.

Suddenly, from behind Jeffrey appeared a very beautiful woman wearing an extremely elegant dress that somehow seemed to be giving her an even more majestic aura, she had long and silk-like pink hair, and she was holding a rather luxurious staff in her hand that was unnecessarily adorned with dozens of diamonds and rubies everywhere.

However, although I did not really care about her appearance, when I looked into her eyes momentarily her status page showed itself for me, and my eyes twitched slightly.
