Chapter 170 – Mission Hall
Once placed in debt he wouldn\'t be able to buy anything and all earned contribution points would go straight into paying off his debt.
Dante could already imagine the amount of inconvenience that this would have on his life going forward.
Dante just sighed before heading towards the place that would allow him to get rid of his debt as soon as possible,
the mission hall!
After a short journey, Dante arrived in front of a large ornate building.
The building had lots of traffic with countless people of all cultivation levels seen heading inside and outside of the building.
\'As expected of somewhere as popular as the mission hall,\' thought Dante to himself
\'It really is quite busy\'
Dante didn\'t spend much time looking at the people and soon entered the building and was greeted with a luxurious interior, with ornate marble flooring and even some brilliant chandeliers could be seen hanging from the roof of the building all encrusted with various types of precious gemstones
For a second, Dante\'s Draconic greed reared its ugly head again as he almost began to salivate at all the treasures placed in front of him.
But fortunately, Dante knew this was neither the time nor the place to be greedy for treasure so Dante could only suppress his urges as he followed the signs to the area he was looking for.
Dante was looking for the area with Martial adept level missions.
Although these mission difficulties would be above his cultivation realm, Dante didn\'t really have a choice.
the yield of contribution points earned from martial journeyman missions were simply too pitiful in comparison to the debt he was facing.
If he wanted to clear his debt fast then Martial Adept level missions were the only choice he had left!
Soon, after a short time spent looking around, Dante finally came to the area with the Martial Adept level missions.
once he arrived Dante instantly noticed a difference when he compared it to the other areas.
Dante noticed that the Martial Adept level area only had a fraction of the number of people in the other areas.
He could only see around 10 other people in this area scanning for missions. When compared to the other sections, it was practically barren!
however, such pitiful turnouts weren\'t really unexpected.
Martial adept cultivators weren\'t just some dogs on the street anyone could find.
Although these powerful individuals were much more common in the Capital city, Dante knew that as soon as these people Capital and went further out into the kingdom, they would instantly be treated as god tier individuals.
they were the first barrier separating the truly strong and weak in the entire Vaenam Kingdom. All of them were capable of easily holding positions of relative influence and power in the Kingdom.
Even so, Dante didn\'t spend too much time lingering on these thoughts and soon turned to the multitude of pickable tasks in front of him.
After scanning for a few minutes, Dante saw a few easier tasks available that he was sure he could complete by himself but the reward of contribution points for all of them were too lacklustre.
it was only after searching for a while that Dante saw a task that bought his interest
Task type: Combat
Advised cultivation level: Martial adept
Bandits have been running rampant in the Zrudon Region terrorising its inhabitants as well as all the people in the surrounding villages.
Your role is Complete annihilation of the Bandit Camp.
Reward: 600 contribution points
(note: Bandit camp contains multiple individuals around the peak of the Martial journeyman realm with the Bandit leader being in the Martial Adept realm. It is advised that you complete this mission with others even if you are in the Martial Adept realm.)
Dante hesitated a little before he eventually chose to accept the mission.
Even though it sounded quite difficult Dante had some confidence in completing it if he could just get the confidence of others.
As Dante was inspecting the mission board he also spotted another mission.
Task type: investigation
Advised cultivation level: Martial Adept
for the last couple of months, an alarming number of individuals have been going missing in the region surrounding Vainwatch city. Individuals in the Martial novice realm and Martial journeyman realm have been sent to investigate only to come up unsuccessful with some even going missing themselves.
the mission is to find out the reason for their disappearance and if possible recover the missing individuals.
Reward: 200 contribution points.
Seeing this mission Dante smiled in glee.
Vainwatch city was just a few days away from the Zrudon region that the Bandit camp was terrorising, just safely out of their reach.
with this Dante could stop off at Vainwatch city to gather supplies and possibly even have time to recruit some soldiers a distance a safe distance away from the bandit camp.
Seeing that he had gotten two decent-paying Missions, Dante retrieved them before walking to the counter.
There he saw a desk lady absentmindedly reading a book.
\'Stop senior brother! I\'m a guy!\'
From the title of the book alone, Dante could already imagine the type of story she was reading.
"Ahem!"
suddenly, the lady seemed to notice Dante\'s presence and quickly hid away her book, pretending as if nothing had ever happened in the first place.
"So what brings you here today?" Asked the lady with a welcoming smile on her face.
Dante didn\'t even bother bringing up what he just saw and handed over the two missions that he had picked.
After seeing the tasks he handed over the lady took a second to look at Dante again and seeing his cultivation raised an eyebrow
"it says here that the recommended cultivation level for both tasks is The Martial Adept realm. You\'re only in the Martial Journeyman Realm, are you sure you want to take these?" Asked the Lady
hearing this question, Dante just smiled
"don\'t worry, since I\'ve chosen the missions, I have full confidence to take care of it."
hearing Dante, the lady just shrugged her shoulders.
She was only paved here to confirm the missions taken not to be a nanny.
If the boy wanted to head to his death, she wouldn\'t stop him.
After a few brief minutes, the lady finally handed the sheets back to Dante as she spoke,
"Please hand me your identification token so we can finalise the task."
Dante just nodded as he stretched out his exquisite coiling dragon token, only held by the Dragon Son of War.
seeing this the eyes of the Reception lady narrowed.
It seemed like she had made a mistake and judged the boy too soon.
If she took the fact he was a Dragon son into consideration he might actually Stand a chance!
after scanning Dante\'s token on a crystal, she handed it back to Dante.
"The missions have been successfully confirmed onto your token. With this, you can go out and complete the mission. Just remember, if you fail or abandon the mission failure penalty will be applied proportional to the reward of the task!"
Hearing this Dante quickly frowned.
With his current financial situation, more payments and debt simply wasn\'t an option.
But it\'s not like Dante had to worry too much, failing was something he was never planning on doing anyway.
Dante quickly said goodbye to the desk lady before hurrying out of the mission hall.
He had some planning to do!
….
Dante was currently leaning against the window of his carriage as he rode back towards his compound within the Capital city.
He watched absent-mindedly as they passed countless stores and busy people going about their bustling lives.
But Dante\'s state of absent-mindedness didn\'t last too long as right when they arrived at his residence, Dante quickly snapped out of this state as his carriage came to a jolting stop
"Young Master, we have arrived!" called the carriage driver
Hearing this Dante stretched his tired body before slowly descending down from the carriage.
Dante had barely gotten down from the carriage before he could see a dishevelled figure rushing towards him.
"Mr Baleview." Said Dante emotionlessly
"Seeing as you\'ve come all the way here I\'m taking it that your search for elemental treasures has gone successfully"
"of course, Lord dragon son" laughed Karther Baleview
"As you have stated, I\'ve finally gotten a clue as to the location of Elemental treasure!"
