Chapter 364 The Mission From The Adventurers Guild

"The Winter Dragons are very powerful, and even among the dragon races, they are not a race that is meant to be taken lightly. It is the very reason why other races do not unnecessarily come here and cause any conflict since it isn't worth it. They also rarely leave their adobe unless it is for an urgent reason. But..I think you already heard about someone who is a descendant of the Winter Dragons," Seraphina said as she cutely and elegantly ate a green muffin.

"The Union President of the Darkwell Trading Union, isn't it? We heard people talking about it and how he is the grandson of the current head of the Winter Dragons. But they also nobody ever saw him in his dragon form. That is why I am wondering if it is true or not," Viktor said as he took a sip of the wine in front of him.

"It is but the Winter Dragons do not assume their true form unless needed, especially in a town like this. It is more convenient to remain in their human forms."

"Hmm, he is surely an odd one since he put up camp in a town like this, away from his own, and even started his own business. I guess we will be coming upon him soon," Viktor said with narrowed eyes while wondering how powerful this guy was.

Seraphina felt a bad feeling as she said, "You should be very careful when dealing with people like him. I haven't seen him yet, but since he is the one conducting the auction where he will also be selling the lifeline of my race, I doubt he has any morality. He should already know what that fruit means to my race, and yet he didn't even try to return it," Seraphina said in a despondent tone since she always held some hope that the Union President might return the fruit at least within a few days after recognizing it.

But five days passed and it was obvious that nobody was going to return it.

Viktor sighed as he got up and offered his hand, "Sera, there is no point in expecting good from people like these. They exist only to serve themselves. Now, come. Let's meet those adventurers and make some money."

Seraphina pressed her lips together as she softly nodded and followed him while wearing a cloak with a hood to cover her head to not draw too much attention.

The skies were a beautiful blue as the two set out towards the Adventurers Guild to meet up with those four adventurers.

The two came upon a large brown tower with a board that read, 'Welcome to the Adventurer's Guild'.

The two of them entered it only to be welcomed by the chatter of the crowd inside, most of them wearing armors and weapons and checking out the billboard, which was actually missions available for the day while mentioning their difficulty as well.

"Hey, Azu, Sera! Over here!"

Viktor turned around as he saw a man with a large frame and wearing bulky armor waving at him from afar. And beside him were his three party members, Verona, and the two twins, Pubo and Pobi.

Verona subtly licked her lips upon seeing Azu's charming face while Pubo and Pobi were trying their best to take a good look at Sera's face, though her hood was covering a good part of it, especially when her head was a bit lowered.

Still, her bootylicious figure was a treat to look at, and it surely turned the heads of those around her, staring at her oversized breasts and plump buttocks.

Seraphina was still finding it hard to get used to the stares of so many people, especially when she could feel their immoral intentions. She wished she could release her powers to use her sacred aura to protect herself, but she knew better than to do that. She would have tried to disguise herself as a very ordinary woman if not for the fact that the more her disguise differed from her original appearance, the lesser amount of time her illusion spell would last.

Even disguising her sacred aura was quite taxing since otherwise, even common people would feel that she was no ordinary being due to the pure aura her presence would give off, let alone dangerous, powerful beings who might try to exploit her.

Thus she could only disguise some of her physical features while making sure that she could make the spell last long enough before casting it again. Otherwise, if her spell lasted too short, her disguise might wear off while she was before other people, and that was a cause for disaster.

Viktor narrowed his eyes as he held Seraphina's hand and walked toward them, "We were looking for you guys. So what kind of monsters do you guys want us to track?"

Bruno squinted his eyes, thinking that this rabbitman was confident despite knowing that they might be going after dangerous creatures.

Still, he thought that it was probably because this rabbitman was an ignorant fool who had no idea about the dangers outside of this town. But he didn't care since it would only make it easier for him.

Bruno took out a brown scroll and unfolded it as he said, "We did mention to you two that we need help in tracking some monsters. And this is it. For a hefty reward of 3000 Greater Odic Coins. With that amount, we can live lavishly in this town for a year. Even after dividing it up among us six, that amount would still be enough to enjoy your time here in this town."

Viktor didn't pay much attention to his words. But instead, he looked at the paper which mentioned the mission details. Seraphina also subtly raised her head to take a peek at the paper.

However, unlike Viktor's expectations, the mission details didn't mention what kind of monsters they would be going after; instead, all it mentioned was that they had to take care of the monsters that were killing the denizens of this town near the shores of the Lulling River.

Viktor knitted his brows as he felt that something just felt off here.
