1115 Obstruction
"After grabbing a mission made for 10-star mercenaries, who knew the next mission you'd grab would be a mission made for 3-star mercenaries?"
Receiving the stamped document that was given to him, Aleos looked at it for a bit before looking back at the young man in front of him with an amused smile.
"Is there a problem with that?" said Valyr back with a wry smile. "Can't I not take an easier mission from time to time?"
"Also, just to let you know, I took up the mission since I wanted to help my friends out," continued the young man as he pointed at Edward and Wells behind him.
"Heh? The so-called Azure Blade actually has friends?" joked Aleos in response, causing both Edward and Wells to look at Valyr with slightly confused expressions.
On the other hand, Valyr frowned in response as he glared at Aleos, prompting the latter to let out a chuckle as he retrieved the rewards for their missions.
Noticing that the attendant helping them was away for some time, Wells took the opportunity to ask Valyr more about what he'd heard. "What did he mean by Azure Blade?"
Seeing both Edward and Wells look at him with curiosity after that, Valyr inwardly let out a low sigh as he made a mental note to have Aleos treat him in the future.
After that, he gave the two a brief explanation as to how the nickname came about, with many of them seeing him kill orcs with his Prime Azure Energy.
Hearing that the young man continued to use that method of combat even when he took up the mission made for 10-star mercenaries, both of them looked at Valyr in disbelief as they began to wonder whether they were even looking at the same person they knew.
Fortunately, just before the two could doubt their friend's identity even further, Aleos returned to give them all of their rewards, including the merit points that came with the mission.
"Considering that you three worked together to complete it, the rewards shall be distributed evenly between the three of you," the man told them, to which the three nodded in response.
"The item rewards aside, you earned 15 merit points from this mission... so you get five merit points each." Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"The Blacksmith Guild has been trying to contact me for days already?" murmured Valyr as he read through the message, slightly shaking his head in disbelief. "And they want me to head to the guild's mission hall in the base as soon as possible?"
"Well, I don't know about them, but I haven't had anyone come up to me from the Blacksmith Guild this past week." As these words left his mouth, Valyr sent back a message to Julian, telling him that the Blacksmith Guild hadn't reached out to him the past week whatsoever.
Surprisingly, Julian was immediate in his reply, informing the young man in his message that the Blacksmith Guild had been constantly trying to reach out to him for the past week.
"However, on all the times they were trying to reach out to me, I was either out in the battlefield, or I was either out cold in the inn." Coming to this part of the message, the young man could not help but bitterly smile. "What bad timing."
"Guess I'll pay a visit to the Blacksmith Guild's mission hall, then." Muttering these words to himself, the young man faintly let out a sigh as he closed his chat screen.
Though, just as he was about to start heading there, a pair of robust individuals appeared before him all of a sudden, staring at him with toothy grins on their faces.
"Say, brother."
"Mind sparing a bit of your time for us?"
