«Hello ladies are any of you interested in teaming up with me to take on this ant hunting quest.»
«Your asking a group of level 200 beginners to take a level 400 quest with you. You sound like a idiot.»
«Hahaha. You're misunderstanding my intentions I could go to the 'ant hill' alone and compleat the quest the problem is that if I'm alone I'll have to either only take a couple of ant corpses with me as I can't harvest the ant corpses and fight them of at the same time or I get some help. So this is me trying to get some help.»
«How do we decide how gets what loot?»
This time it was the Princess talking she obviously know she's being protected so she's a lot less careful then the other 2 about how to trust.
«Marsia what are you saying we can't trust this guy.»
The knight girls finally spoke up.
«I only want the cores you can keep the rest, even if we find some epic rank items it's yours.»
She found my reply very suspicious a level 300 ant corpse can be sold for up to 100 gold a peace a level 400 one for 10 times that and this quest requires us to kill 10 level 400 ant guards at least.
«When do you want to leave?»
The princess seems to agree with it. I looked at the knight girl. She just gave a nod and looked at the duchess for confirmation.
All of them agree.
«Let's meet up at the south gate around 07:00 well need to leave as early as possible in the hops of reaching the 'ant hill' in 4 days.»
I waited for them to respond.
«Ok I'll be there.»
I am very surprised at how easy that was, I know they don't trust me but that can be solved with time.
I want to go back to my inn but first I'll need to deal with the guy that has been following me ever since I left the guild.
I walked in to one of the abandoned alleyways.
«You can come out now.»
Even tho I looked right at him he didn't beleave I can see him, I guess some AI have there own pride and this one didn't want to beleave I could see tru his stealth skill.
«Come on men I don't have all day you know.»
Finally he decided to show him self. I want to just get this part done with so I'll just tell him what he wants to know.
«I decided to team up with the girls for 3 reasons. One they are trust wordy unlike other adventurers they wont try to kill me one a couple of gold, two your with them so they wont be a nuisance and three I can make some pretty useful connections with the higher ups in the kingdom. If you have any questions ask them now.»
He kept looking at me with the same look in his eyes I tried see what he is thinking but couldn't so I used my skill again.
(How did he know I was following him Gerard seed hes only level 300 he can't possibly see tru my stealth skill.)
He's still thinking about that. I waited for a couple of seconds to see what he would do but I got no response. So I left.
I decided to do some more alchemy for the rest of the day I both some more recipes this time only those with super rare herbs as I have a inventory full of those.
Most of the super rare recipes cost 100.000 to 500.000, I decided to go with 3 different once.
«Skill: strong will rank: super rare
Description: gives the user a iron will, increases attack power by 50% .
Duration: 30 minutes»
«Skill: full concentration rank: super rare
Description: Shortens the casting time if any magic by 20%
Duration: 1 hour.»
«Skill: antidote rank: super rare
Description: removes any poison from monsters below level 400 and or below unique rank.»
I leveled my alchemy skill up to the elder alchemist rank. Sub-classes are ranked from- apprentice, beginner, normal, senior, elder, master, grandmaste, true master, sage, god.
I was only able to become a elder because of the thousands of super rare herbs I had. Others will never have so many even if they are always looking at the auction the competition for these is just that fears.
I decided to log of and get some sleep I plan on getting up early to go meet the girls.
The next day I got up early at about 6:00 and logged right back in to the game I plan to open the rest of the cores and maybe by a bigger storage ring.
The mission is to kill 10 level 400 ants but my goel is to get to level 400 and do my advancement quest. If I can get some unique rank herbs that would be even beater.
I didn't realy get anything interesting in the level 300 once but the level 400 once gave me a unique rank item each and some unique herds to. I equipped them instantly. they both give me more then 400 stats but to bad they don't have any skills.
I sold every thing except the super rare herbs and the unique rank items and herbs.
Like always I put them all in the continental auction with a 3 days time limit. I made my way to the front gate.
As expected the 3 girls were already there I made sure to come 10 minutes early because I thot they would do some thing like this. Giving them a simple greeting we went on our way.
The girls realy are hasty, I used my skill to see before when they need to finish this mission and as expected it's less then a month from now. Any normal adventure team would have at least 16 to 32 people and take 3 to 5 weeks to finish this quest. Not because of the long journey there but because there are just to many ants there will be.
There are millions of level 200 ants, hundred of hundred of level 300 luckily there are only about a thousand level 400 and not even ten level 500 once or this country would have been destroyed ages ago.
These ants are not realy a problem because I can kill about 1000 of them with one AOE skill but to get to the level 400 once that we need to kill well have to get thru the outer layer of the and hill and reach the inner area.
The ant hill is the size of a small country it's basically a secular mountain range divided in to three parts the outer layer, the mountain were there are mostly level 200 and 300 monsters, the inner layer, the center of the mountain range were there are level 300 and some 400 monsters and the core layer the underground were you'll only find 400 and up monsters.
