CH.132 First (official) quest

(Brian. Wake up.) I heard Laura’s voice in my head.

I had asked her to wake me up at an optimal time, so I could open my packs before breakfast and all of that jazz. And we had to be ready to leave for the escort job at 9 am.

(Good morning, Laura. Thanks for waking me up.)

(Good morning.)

Now then. Last packs before we leave. I still don’t have a second Monster Reborn, so back to LoBY with me.

... well, Mystical Elf is a super rare, but it’s also a common in DB1. Well, I’ll still hold onto it as it is a SR. But a SR spell would have been better.

See! Just like that. Swords of Revealing Light is super good. I can use it to hold my opponents in place for a long time. And it doesn’t even affect me. Perfection. I’ll need to shove that thing in a toploader.

Now just to get that Monster Reborn and we are golden.

Alice opened the door and came in. She was dressed in an outfit that showed she was ready to go. Sturdy looking pants and high quality leather boots. A jacket that was basically leather armor. And her blond hair was tied in twin braids.

Compared to me in my jeans and hoodie, she was a lot more of an adventurer.

“Come on Brian. Let’s go eat breakfast so we can go.” Alice said.

“Yeah. Let’s go.” I agreed.

During breakfast, I had Laura go through the LoBY cards of the day to pick what to sack for sleeves. I had three spells I wanted to throw a toploader onto. Well, technically four, as I have two copies of Raigeki and neither of them has a sleeve yet. And on top of those two, Swords of Revealing Light and, of course, Monster Reborn.

5x Basic Insect, 3x Trial of Nightmare, 2x Dark Gray, 3x Nemuriko, 3x Dark King of the Abyss, 2x Fiend Reflection #2, 4x Turtle Tiger, 3x Hinotama Soul, 2x Flame Ghost, 3x Dissolverock, 4x Ray & Temperature, 3x Masaki the Legendary Swordsman, 5x Forest, 7x Wasteland, 4x Mountain, 3x Sogen, 8 Yami, 2x Tyhone, 6x Beaver Warrior, 5x Uraby, Witty Phantom, Larvas, Hard Armor, Man Eater, 2x M-Warrior #1, 3x Armaill, 5x Frenzied Panda, 4x Fireyarou, 2x Dragoness the Wicked Knight

100 sacrifices for the four spells. The one good thing about LoBY commons is that I don’t mind getting rid of them. Because most of them are just mediocre as anything.

I didn’t really even need to make this many sacrifices as I still had 5 sleeves left from yesterday, but I also didn’t even get rid of all of the LoBY commons I got today, so...

and this way I’ll still have 5 sleeves on hand if I need to sleeve something up. Or even get a toploader.

Well, now that I had the sleeves and toploaders, I applied them to four spells. Swords of Revealing Light, Monster Reborn and two Raigeki.

Perfect. My spell arsenal has improved. I still think two Monster Reborns aren’t enough, but I can still get more from the DB1 packs, so I can focus my normal tokens on something else.

(You can always aim for the ‘Spell Reproduction’ in Dark Crisis. It will allow you to reset the cooldown on your spell cards, so it effectively increases the number of Monster Reborns. And it can be used with other cards as well.) Laura reminded me.

(Yeah. I might do that.)

After breakfast, as I was picking up my magic backpack from my room, I activated both Emblem and Upstart. Upstart gave me 3 small silvers and two golds.

Laura also reminded me of another thing I should do. Setting a defensive card on myself. And the card of choice is Threatening Roar. I used my last 5 sleeves for the sleeve and toploader combo for it, before setting it onto myself.

The activation condition was being attacked with intent to harm or kill. And on activation, Threatening Roar would stun all enemies that were hostile against me.

The installed card was absorbed into my body, leaving a tattoo of the card showing where I had set it. I then took it out and set it again, just to see that I could.

Perfect. Now I’m ready to go.

“If Alice causes you any trouble, please leave her with my family and inform me. I’ll come and pick her up.” Christina told me.

“Yes. I will. But only if she causes problems.” I responded.

After some goodbye hugs between Alice and her mother, we were off.

We went towards the guild. Well, we did have one other stop on the way.

Lua and Alex needed to pick up their bags from their house, but it was almost on the way.

After that fast stop was over, we got to the guild.

The guild was almost entirely empty, like it usually was at this time of day, but our contact from Bakula company was here. I actually wasn’t expecting him to be, as we were early by over half an hour. On purpose, of course, as Lua and Alex were going to explain some details about escort quests.

And, you know, to fill up on water. I had two different magic flasks, but I agreed to sell one to Alice (Christina paid for it) for 50 gold. I think giving us the money was basically an excuse, as I did say I would let her use it for free.

Alex was looking at us with slight envy as Alice and I filled up our flasks. He had to fill up multiple smaller bottles. At least they weren’t the basic water skins. And calling them small is kind of funny, as their outside dimensions are actually larger than our flasks.

I could get you a magic flask from the dungeon, but not for free you know. And you still owe me for that magic fanny pack as well.

As we were filling our water, Lua made small talk with the Bakula company’s person that was there.

I overheard some of it, like Lua addressing him as “Mr. Timothy.” I did recognize him as the coachman that once took us to the dungeon when we activated it. I think he was also in the office with Zay when I went to get him for the wyvern attack. Based on that, he probably holds a decently high seat in the Bakula company.

“It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I’m Timothy and I will be in charge of Bakula company’s side of this trip. We have a total of four carriages that need to be kept safe all the way to Sawyer city.” He explained.

“What is our cargo?” Alex asked.

“The main cargo is lumber. We also have some other things, but they are all stored in magic bags.” Timothy answered.

“I see. I assume our travel plan is three days, correct?” Alex asked.

“Yes. With a heavy load, the horses won’t make it in two.” Timothy said.

Horses and their limited strength. If I could just hook up the carriages to Overdrive, I could probably just drive there at high speed. Well, the carriage would probably break if it wasn’t super well made.

We headed to the Bakula company’s carriage grounds and mounted up. There was a coachman and adventurer in each carriage. I was sitting in the lead carriage with Timothy. I wanted Alex or Lua to be there, but Alex said I would do best here with my summons. He went and held up the rear. Alice was in the second carriage as it had a female coach and Lua was in the third.

As we were about to leave, Christina appeared to say goodbye to Alice. She came with an entourage of five maids. Jenna, Nicole, Aneesa, Sana and one whose name I didn’t know.

After a (second) goodbye hug between Alice and her mother, we were off. And I got a system mission.

Mission: Complete the QuestGoal: Successfully complete your first adventuring quest.Reward: Opens Reprint set Dark Beginning 2.Opens the Promo Trades: Movie Pack (MOV) and Exclusive Pack (EP1)If the guild treats the escort quest as a failure, you will fail this mission.

Well, isn’t that just great. Now I know something bad will happen. Why else would the system give me a mission?

For those that want to see the cards from the sets.
