Chapter 6: A new mission
The maiden replied while looking at the rats as if they were her mortal enemy, she was definitely determined to annihilate them.
Maria and I decided to kill bears to fortify ourselves we hunted bears for 3 more hours before disconnecting for dinner.
We met at a coffee shop downtown, she was wearing black pants and a white blouse with a shirt collar.
She appeared to have light makeup, pink lipstick on, her hair was down, it was honestly stunning. It matched really well with her brown hair and brown eyes, I had gotten used to seeing her dressed in tight clothes in the game but seeing her in this combination was also lovely, she was a spellbinder through and through or is it just that I am in love for the first time.
I told her you know the value of more gold coins today is high, you can exchange 1500 gold coins for 15 US dollars in the future the exchange rate will decrease, I know she replied, while looking at her coffee then said do not worry we will earn more and more money at stake we already have platero and you will become a cook it will serve to save. The best of all is that we still have 20 coins tomorrow we will marry an insane amount of bears, we will climb at least to level 15 before facing the army of rats.
You know it too I replied we can't attack without a plan, besides we need more people to help us or the rats will tear us to pieces, even if we are level 30.
A plan she whispered I will sleep on it, you should go home and get a good rest tonight, tomorrow we will hunt bears she smiled, but this time, that smile did not seem beautiful to me but terrifying like that of a sadistic madwoman, honestly I was already questioning my mental sanity, confessing to this woman may have been a mistake, I already fear for my life.
When morning came I woke up in my room, took a juice and went for a run for half an hour, then a bath and straight to enter Andromeda when I entered the first thing I did was to look for platero, he was a donkey but he had all our belongings in him if he died we would be practically without the materials of the bears married yesterday and it would be a loss of more than 15 gold coins, Fortunately not many players were passing by and we had hidden him between 4 rocks so that the bears would not devour him after all the mounts of his type if they died they would not revive unless I formed a contract with him and that was something I did not want to do I wanted to form a contract with a flying type monster.
It was then that I thought that a bear would be a good option for my first contract but I didn't want a high level bear, I was interested in the potential, an elite bear cub at least, finding an epic, legendary or unique one would be fabulous but I didn't think I would be so lucky.
A beam of light appeared and the silver maiden jumped into my arms and said I have something to tell you, I also want to tell you something I answered.
She put on a questioning expression when I told her to hire a bear she agreed, she even encouraged me saying bears are strong and can carry more things than platero because you didn't think about it before you idiot.
If I am an idiot then what are you that you didn't think about it either, she pushed me away annoyed and said she had better things to think about, for example a plan.
The terrain of this place is not good, if we attack them no matter the place they will surely surround us at that moment we are dead for sure, that's why we will create a place where those creatures can't roll us, we will be a wall. Hahahaha! Hahahahaha!
Now I didn't know what to say, first I didn't understand the plan and second I didn't know why she was laughing as if she was a villain of some bad series.
Then she looked at me embarrassed, and exclaimed, ok, let's go get your bear cub! And we left in search of the contract, during the whole day we killed bears, near the valley where the rats were a small bear was looking at the sunset, I examined it just in case, to my surprise it was an Ursus argentum a white smoke bear, on its forehead it had a portion of brick colored hair and the same color on the tips of its arms and legs, it was an extraordinary creature and the best of all it was an epic bear, its level was 10 without a doubt it had just appeared.
Without thinking much I rushed to the head of the small and active contract, it did not take long for the contract to fail, red lightning was too resistant, it was not yet my hired beast but that bear already had a name in my mind I asked the maiden not to help me, so she sat on a stone and watched my battle with great interest while a smile was drawn on her face.
The little bear stood on two legs to give a paw that I dodged rolling on the ground, when I stood up, very sharp fangs were waiting for me, which I dodged by pure luck when I slipped backwards, I used the cane to gain distance but the white bear cub did not seem to care and attacked without carrying anything, the paw he gave me blocked it by placing the cane over my head holding it with both hands, even so my face crashed against the ground, I even managed to place my weapon in the jugular of the little red one and tried to strangle him clinging to him like a chimpanzee clings to its mother, however nothing seemed to work because my enemy stood on two legs, growled and got back on all fours I shot out of his back in the next moment I was against the ground looking at the sky and some very sharp claws that were directed to my face
It was then that my savior arrived, she only threw her halberd like a spear which stuck in the ground right between my face and the claw.
Then like a goddess of war she attacked the bear with her fists, the little red one got on two legs and growled to receive her, I did not see well how it happened, but it seemed to me that it was the next thing, when the claw of the little red one was close to the face of the maiden, She turned on one of her feet giving the sword to the bear while she elbowed him in the ribs, at the same time she grabbed the extended arm of the miserable bear cub and then threw him like an aikido master would throw a training dummy, that is to say, she threw him through the air like an old rag.
He extended his leg like a ruler and lowered it as if it were a lightning bolt descending on the earth burying the face of my future contracted beast on the ground. I took advantage and cast contract on the bear on the ground once again but failed again, I cast healing on the little bear because I was afraid that the silver madwoman would kill my future beast.
She continued to beat the little red one on the ground and I continued to heal him for more than 30 minutes. The bear cub seemed to be crying and I launched once again "contract" to my fortune a blue light appeared and a notification appeared on my screen Ursus argentum is willing to sign a contract with you on the condition that you stop the creature that is intimidating him. To which I happily agreed, a new message appeared and said contract successfully signed.
I said to my madwoman, please stop the little red one has signed a contract with me, to which she calmed down and said that is good, but I wanted to practice a little more, tomorrow I want to train the throwing techniques, the rats are not good for that, seeing her determined look I could only nod while the bear of 1 and a half meters high shrank behind my back, as it was already late we decided to return to the city to buy some things that we were going to need, for the plan of the silver maiden.
On the way we cleared the dungeon of rats once again, honestly it was much easier than the previous times the little red one was a great help, although he ate quite a lot of meat and crystals he was in tolerable range after all those things were not worth much, in the reward trunks we only found a mage staff and a round wooden shield they were not very valuable items, but I had planned to open a small store at night.
We arrived at the city and the first thing we did was to sell everything we had, skins, meat, claws and fangs, this time we earned much more since the bear skins were more valuable than the furious rats, everything sold added up to 10 gold coins, plus the 20 coins that our friend we met the day before gave us, it was already 30, it was the biggest fortune we had.
Brother Dong-Yul, are you all right, did you deliver the mission, I asked them in the chat room.
It didn't take long to answer yes, we delivered it to our surprise the mayor of the city the Elder silvana has asked us to form a subjugation group, but as he doesn't have much cash at the moment he will only give us 1000 gold coins and 10 skill books, as well as 50 ultra rare weapons that will be distributed among the biggest contributors of this raid. So I am looking for 100 players for this mission, I only have 82 people, you can join if you wish, well I told you we are in but increase the number of the army to at least 300 otherwise we will be annihilated I was sure, that the city mayor's mission had more rewards, but I said nothing after all your group was the one that managed to unlock that mission.
Tell the members of the mission to buy a shovel and pickaxe for the ones we are going to need, the maid and I have a plan to finish with the rats without suffering casualties," I affirmed.
Dong-Yul remained silent for a long time but then nodded tonight I will look for more members for the group I will try to make sure that the number is the one you mentioned but this mission has to be done in 48 hours at the latest, in case of failure we will have a plague of rats and we will not have any reward.
No problem tomorrow I will leave with the maid to prepare the ground where we will slaughter the rats, you must recruit the men needed.
I immediately turned my head to see what my beloved girlfriend was buying, only to realize that she is buying a new halberd, a staff, a bear hide armor, another bear hide armor, then seeing me watching her she said don't you want to make a store and sell the spear, the shield and the other things we found in our days of homemaking, yes I said give her the rusty daggers and daggers go to a blacksmith and have these daggers repaired we don't know when they could be useful, she agreed.
Soon I was in the square setting up a store to sell my stuff I didn't have much only about items like the spear, the shield and the book of fire arrow that we had found in the first dungeon clearance of the rats.
After an hour in the stall, I managed to sell all the objects for 55 gold coins and 80 silver coins, in fact the book I sold for 52 gold coins to a player who managed to lower the price from 70 coins to 52, without a doubt a good bargainer.
The other things were not worth much but still everything adds up.
Plus the previous 30 coins we were rich if we had a fortune of 85 gold coins and 80 avocado minus some expenses of potions and equipment even so we would have at least 70 gold coins, rich without a doubt.
I grouped with my companion and after walking around the city we disconnected to sleep.
