29 First mission
" Which element spirit stones are more compatible with you?? ",
" All three", Ajax's reply shocked all the squad members.
According to them one person can only absorb one type of element which is more compatible with them. If anyone can absorb two types of elements, then they can be called as genius and when more than two elements are compatible then they are called 'Heaven's son'.
Now, one of that legendary 'Heaven's son' is standing infront of them.
"What did you say??? Edmond asked again.
"Captain Edmond, the three types of spirit stones you gave me are equally compatible as I didn't find any difficulty in absorbing them", Ajax explain clearly this time.
" Ajax, it's better to not let anyone know about it, lest it brings harm to you, ok? ", Edmond said with a gentle expression.
" Ok, I will be careful, Captain ", Ajax nodded his head in agreement.
" Everyone, don't talk about it anywhere", Edmond ordered everyone.
Although he know about everyone, he reminded them anyway.
" We will take two days of rest before taking another mission", Edmond said that and went to his room to rest.
For the next two days everyone simply relaxed and meditated.
Ajax also tried meditating but It took him nearly 10 hours to gain 5 units of essence of nature, so he just practiced his body postures given to him by elder boron.
Soon two days went in a flash.
"Ajax, do you want to come to mercenary guild with me to pick our mission? ",
" Yes", he has been waiting for this moment, so he soon agreed.
" Yes, captain ", Ajax nodded his head seriously.
" By the way, I forgot to ask did you finish all the spirit stones I gave you previously??? ", Edmond asked Ajax about spirit stones.
" Yes", Ajax replied quickly.
Shocked, but Edmond didn't ask anything and gave him 100 fire element spirit stones.
'How did this kid completed 100+ stones within 12 days', Edmond silently thought to himself.
"No, no., How can I take so many spirit stones without doing anything", Ajax kept saying no to Edmond.
But Edmond forced the space ring in to Ajax's hands.
Finally Ajax took it with a bitter smile.
'I will sure to repay you, captain Edmond', Ajax thought to himself.
Soon everyone excited for their new mission.
Next day they travelled to Dusk town which is 1 day journey from goldcrest.
What was once a busy roadway that led to Dusk town was slowly turned into silent town as grass, flowers and small shrubs reclaimed what they can as fast as they can. The occasional wolf howls can be heard from surroundings of the town.
Doors were broken, rotten and in most cases barely a door at all.This was the work of wolves which attack the people even entering into their houses. Many walls and balconies had collapsed. Without proper maintenance and cleaning it was easy for rot and water to do their damage.
Many people already left the town, only old people who didn't want to leave their birth place stayed back. Seeing that,the Kingdom feared if it continued like this,this may happen to other towns, so they issued the mission to clear the wolves lair.
"Udo, Lewis and Jeff, pitch the tent, as for others stay on gaurd", Edmond soon issued his orders and everyone assumed their roles as said.
After pitching the tent
" I will stay on gaurd for 3 hours, after that Udo and Jeff will stay on gaurd for 2 hours, Lewis and paulin last one hour for you", Edmond soon gave another set of instructions to everyone.
But to their surprise no wolf attacked them.
"Ajax and I will search for green furred wolves den in East and you 4 search in the north, if you find the den, don't attack it, Send signal to us? ", Edmond soon divided them into 2 teams and went to east and North directions in the search of Wolf's den.Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.
