"This sucks!" Hugo complained after he flew out from a village ruin. It was the third village he had checked. The result was the same. He didn't find anything.
He was really annoyed as he had to do it. Because the reward of the mission was so attractive, he decided to join as an escort mission.
It started when he and Freya were almost out of supplies. So he left her and his new vampire servants that were keeping the transformed beastmen that they had just kidnapped, to go buying blood supplies from a settlement of ghouls.
Then he saw the quest to escort a ghoul lord to the front line. It would reward anyone based on their levels. As he was a level 33 vampire, he would get 33,000 dirac, once they arrived. As he thought that there were still some supplies in his nest for his subordinates, he decided to accept the mission. After all, an escort mission was quite safe and didn't need a long time to complete.
