Chapter 301: CH.298 We can’t find a quest, so let’s tame a monster instead

The next day, after breakfast and all of that stuff, I headed to the adventurer’s guild with Alice and the rest of our group. All of us were going, except Lua as she was heading to the village to start her magic school.

 

At the guild, we combed the quest papers for any quests from Blanken Trading Company, especially higher ranked ones. The problem was that we were all still just C-rank or below, so we can’t actually take on B-rank quests. Sure if we happen to ‘accidentally’ run into a B-rank monster which the Blanken Company wants, we can sell it to them, but other than that, we can’t directly accept a quest higher than rank C.

Now you might think it would be difficult to find a quest from a specific company, but it really wasn’t. There were over a dozen quests from Blanken Company. Escort quests and material quests mainly, and some low ranking quests were asking for temporary workers, but we couldn’t exactly take those. Well, I could ‘kick’ Einar and Eline out of our party and have them take one of those, but I’m not going to risk their lives for something like this.

Most of the material quests were asking for stuff from the nearby dungeon. We could look into it, but you need some sort of a permission from the guild to go into dungeons, so I don’t think we should actually do that. Well, we could always cheat, as I could just make what they asked for with HomeBase. But Alice already tried that with some monster materials I had in Storage yesterday, so better to try something else.

 

“Really wish we could take that one, but it’s too high rank and it’s an escort quest.” Alice complained a bit.

I looked the quest paper over, and it was an escort quest asking for multiple B and C-rank adventurers to escort someone to the capital.

“... why that one?” I asked. It didn’t look that special to me.

“The rank requirement is for at least half B-rank adventurers and the pay is high.” Alice pointed out. “None of the other escort quests from Blanken ask for that or pay that well, even if they go further away. So it has to be for escorting someone important.”

“Oh? Well done spotting something like that.”

“... it is quite basic, really.” Alice pointed out. “You just don’t do quests that often, so you don’t notice these things. But it doesn’t really help us. None of us are B-rank so we can’t take it.”

“Yeah. I never did visit the main guild when I dropped Cailie off in the Hero’s country. Maybe we should go visit. We should also get to the capital at some point. I’m decently sure I still need to meet the King.”

“We could wait until big sis Mariina is ready with… whatever she is doing here. Then give her a ride to the capital as well.” 

“We don’t actually know if she is heading that way next, or if she has other stops.” I pointed out.

“We could ask.”

“... I’ll let you do that tomorrow. Or some other day.”

“Did you have plans?”

“Going to the Dragon Coast with Agunan.”

“... can I really not come?”

“Not on the first visit. There is only a 100% chance that visit will turn into a fight. You know how Agunan was, so I don’t see it going the same.” I reminded Alice. “You can come when I go there for the second time.”

“... I wasn’t with you when that happened.”

“I know. But I know you watched the recording of it.”

“Of course. I wanted to see you acting cool.” Alice told me. “We are taking this one.” She then quickly changed the subject and grabbed a quest form. It was for hunting some forest deer that had gotten too close to some fields and had eaten some crops. It didn’t pay well, nor was it difficult, but apparently it is the one Alice picked.

Well, at least it will be something to do. And I think forest deer will make for good opponents for Einar and Eline.

“Please respond to my call and come to my side. Forest tiger, Stripy.” Eline chanted for a bit before calling the name of the forest tiger she can summon. Her lightning tiger was still unsummonable after the … incident, but she should be able to summon it again soon.

Maybe I should ask Eline to try and make a new contract. I kind of want to know how that is done. I could turn myself into a real summoner, instead of just being a card summoner. I mean, technically I already can. I can literally use One of Every Race to turn myself into a Summoner, but I still won’t have any summoning skills, other than Pack Opener.

 

“Stripy. We are looking for forest deer. Can you help us find them?” Eline requested her tiger, as she was giving it some pets. It was both cute and somewhat scary seeing a small-ish catgirl petting a tiger, but it is a summoned beast, so there is no issue.

Also, why are we using a tiger as a tracker? Can cats even track prey like dogs do? Well, I guess we will see.

The short answer to my previous question is yes. Stripy the tiger was actually quite good at finding the deer. It was a herd of 17 deer, so quite large, but they are just D-rank so not too dangerous. The biggest danger was them running away, but I quickly activated Raregold Armor and equipped it onto Agunan, causing the deer to want to attack him, so we were able to take them down.
