Chapter 222 Official Orders



I left the ceremony after hearing this news and I returned to the manor where Shaka was waiting for me.

When I came into the room, I saw Shaka sitting there sipping his tea as if there was nothing bothering him.

This would have been surprising if I wasn't already familiar with the kind of personality that he had. For him, something like this was normal since he was only serious when he was on the job.

When he was in his free time, he was someone who relaxed and chilled like anyone else.

Seeing that I had come in, Shaka suddenly put down the tea and revealed a serious look.

It was an instant change, but that meant that he had entered work mode.

But that wasn't a good sign either.

If he was in work mode here, it meant that he had some kind of official order from Scar...

That was most likely what the letter that he brought back for me was.

I didn't say anything and just sat down on the couch on the other side of the table.

Then I just looked at Shaka as if I was waiting for something from him.

Shaka didn't hesitate to take out a letter from his pocket that he put down on the table in between us. He then slid this towards me and waited for me to take it.

I looked down at the letter with a bitter smile since I could recognize the mark on it.

It was the official mark of the Shadow Garden organization, so there was no doubt that these were my first official orders from them.

If I had to guess what these were...it was most likely a mission that I was being assigned.

So with a sigh, I took the letter and opened it up to see what the damage was.

As I read it, I couldn't help knitting my brows more and more.

When I finally finished reading it, I looked up at Shaka and asked, "Is this real?"

Shaka just calmly nodded in response to this.

I knitted my brows even more.

As for the reason why I had my brows knitted...it was because the contents of this mission were just too serious. It was at a level where even if I wanted to reject them, I wouldn't be able to.

After all, if this mission wasn't finished, then there was no way that this kingdom would remain safe.

Since my territory and the people that I loved were all based in this kingdom, if the kingdom fell, there was no doubt that we would all be affected by this.

But the fact that such an important mission came to me as soon as I joined the organization, even being my very first mission for them, it really brought a bitter look to my face.

Didn't they have too much faith in me?

Or was it that they were just harassing me at this point?

I really didn't know which one it was.

Shaka could see the look on my face, so he said, "You shouldn't underestimate yourself. You're much more special than you think."

I looked at him with a confused look when I heard this.

In what way was I special?

I was someone that didn't have strength or magic in this fantasy world, so it could be said that I was one of the lowest people here. The only thing that I had was my knowledge from when this world was still a game that gave me a bit of an advantage compared to others.

So there really wasn't anything that was considered special about me.

Shaka could see the doubt that was on my face, so he said, "Do you know how many people have even found demons in the entire history of our organization?"

I raised a brow when I heard this, but I still shook my head in the end.

"Two, there have only been two cases of demons being found in the entire time that our organization has been founded." Shaka said this with a sigh that had a hint of bitterness in it.

A surprised look appeared on my face after hearing this.n0veluSb.C0M

I looked at Shaka as if I was trying to figure out if he was joking or not, but it seemed that this wasn't a joke.

After being emotional for a bit, Shaka then said, "Now you know how special you are. In just the month that you've been with us, you've already discovered three groups of demons. It's almost as if they are just attracted to you and will come find you no matter where you are."

Three groups?

That was the one thing that I immediately picked up on.

Seeing the way that I looked at him, Shaka then said, "Did you forget about the demon worshippers that you took care of before? The one that you took down to save this town?"

I revealed a look of understanding before looking at Shaka with a strange look.

I had hidden my involvement in this matter and left everything to Baroness Rose...so how did they know about this?

It seemed that the Shadow Garden organization's information network was much more developed and thorough than I thought...

But since I was also a part of this organization now, I should have access to this information network.

Maybe I should try and see what I could find about some things that I remembered from the game.

After all, there was nothing wrong with collecting the powerful items from the game if I was able to.

They would help increase my survivability in this world.

But back to the main topic at hand, I turned my attention back to the orders that I had received.

With a heavy sigh, I said, "Let me talk to Rose about this and then we'll see when I can head out."

Shaka gave a simple nod in response to this.

This was a matter that hadn't been solved in a long time, so it wasn't a time sensitive matter, but at the same time, it was important to get this done as soon as possible.

After all, the people that involved were powerful enough to influence the entire kingdom.
