Chapter 424: Fortune Teller?

Walker and Su were thrown for yet another loop. Bree was volunteering them for cave-in danger to go after some moles without even asking for their consent. "These two will be able to defeat a glowing mole? The ones that eat crystals and metal ore? The one that is able to cause a cave in with a single swipe of its claws?" Bart was not believing it. 

"Of course they can. They are both heroes, it's what they do. Plus I want you to get back to work and send up good quality crystals. They have a full water spirit that might need some high water crystals for when it awakens from its slumber." 

Walker wondered what the full water spirit would need the high elemental water crystals for. "Isn't you confused face so cute. But you should already know why the water spirit will need it, how else do you think it will start to build a proper body and gain strength?" 

"The water spirit can't gain experience like us?" Su started to grasp what Bree was saying. 

"Exactly, they are different than us, they are not really a monster or a sentient race. They are beings of nature. They get stronger the more they age and absorb their specific elemental mana. If a spirit is forced they can rise very fast but that is a whole other story." Bree brushed off the rushing part not wanting to talk about it. 

"So, I need the high elemental water crystals so that the water spirit won't become sick so to say when it wakes up?" Walker wanted to be sure. 

"Yes, and the quality of crystals we need is in the little crystal farm Bart manages. If there is a glowing mole there eating them all then we will lose it. We will also have a much more dangerous mole on the hunt for a new place to eat if it leaves there." 

"I refuse to believe that these kids could show up and beat something that we all struggle with. You show up talking nonsense whenever you are bored." Brutus was still acting stubborn over the matter. It was part of his pride, he couldn't stop the monster and it had even injured him, how could he admit that a child could do something he could not?

"Can you two tell us what a glowing mole is and can do first? I want to actually see what chance we stand." Walker became a little annoyed at hearing that he was doubted again. 

"A glowing mole is just that. A mole that glows due to the mana crystals it eats. The hair on its' body lets off the excess mana in to the air. It is about the size of a normal bear and uses super tough claws to dig around looking for food. It is very territorial when it finds crystals to eat or metal ores to eat. Naturally it also can influence the earth with the mana it consumes and cause small earthquakes if it is so inclined." 

Walker and Su weren't sure this was something they should deal with or not. On one hand it was a monster causing trouble. On the other hand it could cause an earthquake and cave in a tunnel on them. That would be the worst case. 

'Heroic quest- liberate the high crystal mine

The high crystal mine unkempt by Bart is under siege by a large glowing mole.

Requirement:

Defeat the large glowing mole

Reward: 

2 heroic quest points

8 high water elemental crystals'

"I will even promise you the first eight water elemental crystals I get, wait, the first eight high water elemental crystals." Bree wanted her supply back very badly and was willing to pay the price she deemed worth it. Walker and Su however, had already seen this since the system had issued the quest as soon and Bree had thought of it.

"I guess we have no choice." Su and Walker looked at each other with a slightly exasperated look. "We will help you get rid of the glowing  mole tomorrow after we recover from the full moon tonight." Bart appeared to be a little skeptical still but wasn't going to argue.

"Perfect, then we have finished our main goal coming down here. Bart will resume work with his new apprentice and we will come down tomorrow." Bree was happy as all else. 

The water elemental spirit had been focusing on Walker for a while now, especially at the mention of the water elemental mana crystals. It wanted to keep whispering to the dormant full water spirit as well, but it was afraid Bart might chase it away. Now that Bree had motioned for them all to leave it quickly rushed toward Walker and started up its' games again. 

Bree paid no mind to what the spirits or Walker and Su were doing. She left out the front door humming in joy. Her problem was going to be fixed and she could resume her business the way she liked it. "Do you have the feeling that she planned all of this?" Walker looked at Su who shared the same thoughts.

"I think she is actually a seer and just lied to use abut the spirit mage part." Su had the wild idea that Bree was some form of a fortune teller.

"Or I am much older than you kids and know how to get people to do what I want. Don't worry though, I didn't set you up for failure. The glowing moles are much easier to deal with than you believe. They have some dangerous skills, but a massive weakness. They are blind as a bat and can only navigate by smell, so all you need to do is attack their nose and you have an easy target." Bree shared this with them making the two think that they did indeed have an easier time ahead of them.
