Chereads / The Libertas Dive / Chapter 69 - A New Quest

Chapter 69 - A New Quest

~~~(POV: Lyatt Scott)~~~

~~~(Location: Kedwein, City to the Easternmost Border of the Termal Empire)~~~

~~~(Date: February 15th, 2297)~~~

~~~(Time: 5:19 PM)~~~

Tesha walks into the back of the store and waves for me to follow her. As mad as I am, Tesha isn't someone that would let a grudge or anger get in the way of things. Meaning my feelings at the moment doesn't matter to her. With a tired sigh, I make my way to her and into the back of the shop. It hasn't changed since the last time I was here.

We walk to a table covered in papers and what look like messages from different Nobles, Kings, Queens, and powerful Adventurers. "Since you were never meant to find The Maiden's Deceit, your quest will be completed, and you'll get full rewards for it. I'll say one thing. I'm impressed you didn't die." That makes up for all this a little.

[The Flower that Deceives][Completed]

[Details: You're after an Exotic Grade Flower inside the Restricted Zone called The Eternal Flower Hills. The Flower you're looking for is called The Maidens Deceit. The reason for this name is from many young and beautiful maidens falling victim to the Flower's poison during its first discovery. They couldn't resist the appeal of such a Flower and paid the price.]

[Rewards: A large Reputation Boost with Tesha Lacroix, A New Crafting Recipe, EXP]

[Quest Grade: Epic]

My reputation with Tesha goes up more, and I do get more EXP. My Player Level goes up an entire level, and all my Combat Skills have 30 EXP towards them. Dark Cacoon and Dark Burst both increase a level due to the 30 EXP I gained. My health and mana have both increased thanks to the level up as well. I also gained a new Crafting Recipe.

The Crafting Recipe is an Exotic Grade Potion Recipe that makes me immune to poison. The ingredients to make the potion are incredibly difficult to get ahold of. "From the look on your face, you're seeing the requirements to make Poison Immunity potion. I went through a lot of trouble to give you just one, remember that." I stop looking at my Player Screen and look at her.

She's focusing on something else in the room now, and she's digging through a bunch of papers. "What exactly am I going to do for you now that you know what I can handle and can't handle?" She finds the paper she's looking for and smiles. She clears off the table and sets the paper down. My question is ignored as she turns and indicates for me to read it.

[New Quest!]

[Rainbow Centipede Husk]

[Details: Now that Tesha Lacroix knows what you can handle, she's ready to send you to fight the Rainbow Centipede located in the heart of a Dungeon. The Dungeon is called Insects Breeding Grounds. Located 250 miles North of Kedwein, near the town of Bovire. The good news is, you can use a Teleporter to cover about 220 miles and arrive at Bovire]

[Rewards: EXP, a New Crafting Recipe]

[Grade: Epic]

Talk about a time-consuming task, but it has another Crafting Recipe for a reward, and I'm looking forward to gaining another one. "Bovire is smaller than Kedwein, but it's an important farming community. There is a dungeon to the west of Bovire that sits in a forest. Inside, you'll find the boss. Kill it, and take its husk." Tesha starts to explain, but I already know this Dungeon.

While I've never personally taken it on before, I know what's inside it and what I'm in store for. "Alright, I'll get a move on and be there by tomorrow morning. I'll try and be back by tomorrow evening. When I'm done with this, I have some issues I need to resolve here in Kedwein, and then I'm leaving." She doesn't look pleased with the fact I'll be leaving.

There isn't anything she can do to stop it, though. I have places to go and items to find. Gear to get. If I'm to figure out who murdered me, I'll need to get strong enough to do it independently. I can't trust anyone to help me. "As much as I don't like to hear that, I can't stop you. Just stop by and visit from time to time." Yeah, sure... I'm definitely coming back to this place.
