After our encounter with the superior variation of this magical beast I realized that it has a much greater degree of danger than the common version.
"Captain what is the difference in value of core and claws between types of magical beasts ?"
"This is complicated to put in general, the straight element will increase the value of the core and the claws, but to sell it is more complicated, so if you don't have a buyer who wants the elemental combination that the material has, the price doesn't increase much so this core will be worth about fifteen percent more compared to the core with just the Shadow element."
Complicated it seems that hunting the superior variant isn't worth much if you point out that hunting the beast with two elements is much more dangerous than killing the weaker version of it.
"So are we going to hunt more of them or should I drive away from them?"
"If only two of them you must lead us to them this because they kill our contribution to the guild's mission will be higher and if we are the group with the greatest contribution we receive one bonus of the guild."
"Ok captain."
The rest of the afternoon we managed to hunt a few more groups of magical beasts, but our time was running out because the sun was already starting to weaken I was going to ask the captain if we should make our way back, but I was defeated by Hilda.
"Captain has started to get dark shall we leave ?"
"We're already making our way back Hilda, I just took a detour to see if we could find a clue to the identity of the person responsible for these magical beasts."
Now that Captain says we're actually heading back out of the forest, only we're taking a very crooked path.
We spent another forty minutes in the woods when we were a few meters from the end of the woods and yours had already started to get dark it must be half an hour before yours got dark.
As I couldn't even see an aura inside the forest I believe the day was over at the end of our hunt it was already hard to find magical beasts maybe most of them ended up being killed today by groups of adventurers according to the captain has at least five groups in the forest today although we can't find any of them i doubt they would have many casualties they must have a power level close to our team.
Leaving the woods we headed towards the city before we could finish the day we will have to go to the guild to report on how many magical beasts we have killed and sell the cores to the guild as proof.
As we passed through the gate we found a group that was arguing with the guards found it most unusual the captain or the rest of the group went straight for them or a guard stopped us so I can see the confusion that leave to bring was a staff group problem one of the guards.
We arrived at the guild only to find it deserted apart from the receptionists I didn't see a sign of life in the guild even the last time I saw the hall empty I still heard noises from the second floor but today the guild is completely silent.
"Hi we are the gray star group of the Menfis family we were hunting the magical beasts that appeared in the forest."
At the end of her declaration, the captain passed the bag with the cores we managed to put together three core with two elements and twenty one core with one element I never expected to be part of a group that killed twenty-four magical beasts in one day the value that maybe I win today and much bigger than you normally get.
After handing out the cores the captain started to head out of the guild I was very surprised that she shouldn't take the cores value or mark on her guild card that she handed out so many cores but before leaving she turned to receptionist .
"How many groups have returned from the woods today?"
"Most I'll be right back there's only two to go and today we only had two teams with casualties, but most of the teams left the woods intact."
"Thanks."
As I leave the guild I look at Hilda but she avoids my gaze and keeps following the captain we reached our destination a few minutes after we left the guild we entered a tavern.
The team sat at a table away from the door and as captain faiths sat down a request for the team.
"Well we had a good day today we were caught at a bad time to do this mission but thanks to Hilda and her boyfriend we had a very profitable day."
A smile has formed on Hilda's face and she seems to appreciate the captain's compliments a lot .
"Captain I don't know much about the group custom, but why did you just give the cores to the guild and not sell the claws to them too?"
"I'll explain to you how this kind of guild request works first his rewards will only be given when all the beasts in the woods are killed so only on the third day will the result come out so in the next two days you'll meet us at the very dry gate preferably sooner than today so you and Hilda don't be flirting until too late we have more magical beasts to hunt tomorrow and you should call me Deneve when we are no longer on mission calls a person for their position should only be done during one mission ."
"Ok Deneve."
"Well we're just going to give the guild cores the claws or the hide of the beasts with two attributes will be given to the Menfis family , but don't worry you will earn your share of the earnings it will be calculated by your performance in the mission and I must admit that you it really helped your tracking ability and very good Ulric if you want you can see if you are part of our group a good sensor will be very useful for the group."
"Thanks Deneve , but I don't plan on joining either of the adventurer groups ."
When I was talking to Deneve the waitress exchanged several mugs full of Serbian them and left afterwards.
"As you and a new Ulric adventurer I'll explain something to you most groups of adventurers drink a mug of beer when a day of hunting ends this custom is intended to celebrate success and honor your wounded or dead companions only after drinking the group ends its hunt, but even if I don't have beer, the group can use any type of drink ."
"It's a very good custom in my opinion."
It's the first time in my life that I'm going to drink an alcoholic drink, I don't even think I remember how and the taste of a beer so many years ago I drank one.
When drinking with the group I noticed the poor quality of this beer it is very light and weak taste it must have been diluted I am surprised by that since during these years I can not find much undone in the dishes I ate the food was simple but very tasty apart from the little variety of spices and different foods I wouldn't even realize that I was living in a time when the cuisine is so undeveloped, but this beer is disappointing I hope it is the slut and I have better options on the market.
While we were drinking the group started talking about trivia the light conversation only ended when the beer ran out I thought maybe they would ask for more, but I was wrong.
"So Ulric if you have any questions you can ask me now before everyone goes to their own house to clean up and rest."
"Well I do have some questions, but if any of them are uncomfortable to answer you can just tell me that you don't feel like explaining myself ."
"So what 's your first question?"
"Why am I here?"
"I really enjoyed participating in this mission, but I believe your group should be bigger and you don't need a newbie adventurer you don't know Hilda may have dragged me over her group that had vacancy to give her a chance to drag me into this mission ."
"Good question, our group is made up of eight adventurers, but most are not available to do this quest and I can't tell you the reason they can't participate so Hilda dragged you here without saying anything to me that's usually not allowed in a group of adventurers since having an unknown member on the team is very dangerous generally must have a consensus among the team members to accept a new or temporary member ."
"Our case is a little deferential because we work for the Menfis family and as you may know Hilda and Ingredi are considered the new princesses of the Menfis family as they have a direct connection with the matriarch."
"Our group is the weaker adventurers group of the Menfis family hence our name of gray star when one of the members is considered worthy he is transferred to a stronger group of the Menfis family most families work that way why groups like ours has a number of members that varies a lot."
"Hilda and Ingredi were assigned to join the group led by me that's why Hilda and Ingredi obey me even though they have a higher status in the Menfis family than I'm just an adventurer employed by them I'm not part of the family so when she brings the your boyfriend to join the group I have to accept his temporary participation."
"We're lucky you're useful or we'd just have to babysit."
Deneve started explaining to me how things work from rules and customs of adventurers and how to behave in a team of adventurers she is really a good teacher while the group talked I saw Hilda getting uncomfortable every time I was called her boyfriend her face gets slightly redder and Deneve noticed it and kept calling me Hilda's boyfriend every stool she could we were talking for a whole hour the rest of the team members interfered in the conversation making silly and intelligent comments most of her of the first type so the conversation had a very quiet weather.
But it all comes to an end and the conversation ended after I said goodbye to the group members Hilda and I made our way to the institute I thought I'd tease her about the fact that she had given up on correcting when I was called her boyfriend, but I felt it wouldn't be a decision I knew so I kept our conversation on trivial matters I was a good walk to institute.
Today was a good day I just hope tomorrow is too.
