Looking at the mission that was being described in the document, Beatrice couldn't help but fall into thought.
'Destroy the Fairnon family, Greding city, Maeniel Kingdom, two hundred elemental stones,'
At first, Beatrice wasn't very interested in this mission but upon noticing the number of elemental stones being given as a reward, her eyes couldn't help but flash with some greed.
Suddenly, she picked up the document before flipping to the second page and taking a closer look at the information given about this so-called 'Fairnon family', as well as the ones who had given the mission in the first place.
And as she continued reading, Beatrice couldn't help but smile.
Right now, the Fairnon family is the most powerful family in Greding city, but this was not originally the case, as before them, the strongest family was the Solovan family.
The reason for the Solovan Family's strength was a single person, a mage, Andrick Solovan, but half a year ago, this mage had gone missing, with no trace of him being found.
As such, without his protection, the other families, which were previously suppressed by the Solovan family quickly began eating up their strength and influence, with the Fairnon family taking the lead.
But seemingly unbeknownst to the other families, a single member of the Solovan family survived, and somehow managed to place a mission with the remaining elemental stones from his family.
'I should go fast, otherwise I might miss out on this mission,' thought Beatrice before hurriedly going to her room and beginning to prepare.
"We are going on a trip to the Maeniel Kingdom, prepare everything necessary," said Beatrice as she picked up some things from under her bed.
"Understood mistress," said William, nodding before hurrying on his way, beginning to prepare.
Unlike most of her other missions, this time, Beatrice was in quite as hurry, as merely an hour after learning of the mission, she was already out of the Shadow Monastery.
'With such an attractive and easy mission, there are probably a lot of mages that want to take it,' thought Beatrice as she suddenly turned to William before taking a majority of the bags from him and putting them on her back.
"Let's hurry, we need to be there as fast as possible," said Beatrice as she suddenly sped up her speed.
Thankfully, because Beatrice took some weight of William, he could barely keep up with her speed.
...
Eleven hours later,
Looking at the relatively large city in front of her, Beatrice couldn't help but smile, before turning to William.
"Go find an Inn to rest while I'm gone," said Beatrice as she suddenly threw her bags to William, before disappearing a moment later.
Now without his mistress, William then entered the city through the front gate, before beginning to search for an Inn.
...
Looking at the Royal Knight that was standing guard at the door of a room, Laith Keys couldn't help but turn to one his companions, Saena Windheart.
"I understand," said Saena as she suddenly stared at the knight before mumbling something inaudible.
Suddenly, and without any sound, the Royal Knight that was guarding the door suddenly began melting, becoming a weird liquid only a few moments later.
"This spell really is a convenient way to deal with non-mages," mumbled Radyn Dragonbane, because of the fact that he had not yet learned the Dark Corruption spell, it would have taken him much more effect and mana to kill a Royal Knight.
"Let's go," said Laith Keys, seeing that the knight was taken care of, before jumping from the ceiling merely a moment later, being followed by his two companions.
Laith Keys then approached the door, noticing a large metal lock being placed on it, causing a smile to appear on his face.
Suddenly, Laith stretched out his hand towards the lock, touching it with his fingers.
Dark Mana then emerged out of Laith's fingers before flowing into the lock, and merely a moment later, a quiet 'click' was then heard from the lock, as it was easily opened.
Laith then opened the door to the room without a sound, before staring at the couple sleeping in the bed.
Merely a moment later, the couple then died, as Laith used a crystal to capture the scene of their deaths.
"Let's go," said Laith Keys as the three of them walked out of the room, when suddenly, Saena Windheart launched a dark bolt toward a corner of the corridor.
As soon, as that happened, both Dark Bolts then appeared in front of Laith Keys and Radyn Dragonbane, but unlike Saena, they did not launch them, not seeing any enemy in sight.
Suddenly, a female figure with a hood over her head jumped out of the shadows, dodging the Dark Bolt that was thrown her way.
The moment Laith Keys saw the face of the figure, a frown appeared on her face.
"Beatrice Agnes, how about the four of us go on our separate ways and pretend we didn't meet each other," said Laith as he stared at Beatrice with a wary expression on his face.
Unbeknownst to Beatrice, she had already accrued quite a reputation among the new students of the Shadow Monastery.
Seeing the cautiousness and even some fear in the eyes of the three, Beatrice suddenly threw out everything she had just wanted to do.
"How will you guys the two hundred elemental stones in three, I think that fifty per person is much more reasonable, isn't it?" asked Beatrice as a Dark Bolt suddenly appeared in front of her.
But compared to the Dark Bolt's of the three, the one Beatrice created looked quite different, and just as Laith Keys was about to answer, Beatrice's dark bolt moved, but not towards the three, rather to the left, as a sonic boom erupted inside of the room.
"Yes, that's a much better way, sister Beatrice, we wouldn't want a conflict to arise between the three of us because of elemental stones," said Saena Windheart as she looked at Beatrice, who right now was searching through the robe of a dead Mage Apprentice, whose head was pierced by her Dark Bolt.
Hearing that, a smile appeared on Beatrice's face.
