Jack stared at her, “That is the guards’ job, proper?”

Lydia shook her face, “We misplaced all of them. About twenty folks disappeared and not using a hint.”

Jack froze in place, “If it is extreme, cannot you discover another person to do it?”

“We tried to contact Alcott, however his spouse kicked us out, saying he would not want issues.” Lydia shook her head.

“The hunt appears too huge for me to research alone. You higher drop a quest on the guild, and we would take it.” Jack mentioned, ending his breakfast.

Thud! Thud! “Jack, is there an issue?” Arad and Aella walked all the way down to see Lydia. They instantly assumed she was right here for bother.

“Cheif, she appears to have an attention-grabbing quest. Numerous folks disappeared at evening within the western village of oakedge. She desires us to research.” Jack mentioned, pointing along with his thumb at Lydia.

“We will not take it even when we wish. Such a quest will probably be over our rank.” Arad replied, and he was proper.

Jack scratched his chin, “I can repair that,”

“You will get us increased quests?” Arad checked out him. “If that’s the case, then say it.”

Aella grabbed Arad’s shoulder, “We should not. That is harmful.”

“It is harmful if we have been low-level adventurers.” He was proper. Even Aella was a stage 12 fighter.

“We will do it with this quest.” Jack checked out Lydia, “Publish the hunt as investigation, not fixing. Simply go there, see what’s taking place, and report again.”

“And you’ll simply occur to be compelled to unravel it?” Lydia stared at him with a frightened face.

“That is it, easy, proper?”

“No, If that’s the case, I’d go along with you. I do not care how sturdy you’re. You will have therapeutic and holy harm.” Lydia stood, a holy flare in her eyes.

Jack checked out Arad, “We are going to take it, however not now. I wish to prepare a bit with Amber.”

“I additionally wish to test Mira’s store for a brand new bow,” Aella added with a smile.

“Proper. We have now to test the divination mage for you as nicely.” Jack added, scratching his head.” Thud! He stood up, taking a look at Arad.

“Divination mage? Did you lose one thing?” Lydia requested.

Arad checked out her, scratching his head. ^It would not harm to inform her, proper?^

“I obtained the curse of lycanthropy, and I am in search of a remedy.”

Lydia checked out him, tilting her head, “What sort of lycanthropy are we speaking about on this case? Delicate, moon, random, or a full beast?”

Arad took a step again, “There are differing kinds?”

“Delicate means you solely have a bit extra hair in your physique, more durable nails, and sharp senses with a barely violent character.” Lydia counted with one hand.

“Moon means you will have the results of the gentle however are compelled to remodel on the evening of the complete moon, the evening earlier than and after.” She added one other finger.

“Random implies that on prime of the moon, you may rework randomly as a result of emotional misery, ache, and even listening to the howling of wolves. In fact, you may’t management the beast.” She then smiled.

“Full beast is when you may freely change between human, wolf, or a hybrid kind. Have entry to all of your powers at will, albeit with a robust starvation for humanoid flesh.” She defined.

“I do not know. I simply obtained contaminated.” Arad replied. ^My dragon blood would in all probability have an effect on the curse.^ Arad thought, shortly realizing the large elephant within the room. ^If human werewolves search human flesh, would I see dragons’ flesh?^

Arad instantly grabbed a chair and began considering, ^As a vampire, I’d search draconic blood. I won’t have an issue dwelling like this with people.^

Lydia stared at him, “Do not give it some thought an excessive amount of. All curses have development like that. And most of the people begin from gentle until they obtained the curse by way of magic.”

“I obtained bitten. so I’d begin as gentle?” He checked out her, “Yeah. Did you ask within the church? Two of our highest monks are visiting the town, they usually might carry the curse.” She replied.

Arad shook his head, and Aella checked out Lydia, “We met them yesterday, they usually could not carry the curse. Our solely choice is to kill the progenitor.”

“That is robust. However I might help hunt the beast.” She mentioned with a smile.

Jack checked out her, “If the complete beast can management the ability, cannot we ask him to carry the curse? Make a deal?”

Lydia stared at him, “Good luck with that. However we will attempt to see.”

“It’ll give us a bonus. We will pay the beast a ton of cash to carry the curse after which kill him if doable to take our a refund.” Jack stood smiling.

Lydia thought, “And we can’t must undergo the ache of the ritual.” She then pointed at Jack, “I like that,”

“We’re scamming the progenitor, you understand?” Jack smiled at her.

“It would not matter so long as they’re evil or oppose the church.” She mentioned, resting her fists on her hips.

“Hypocritical as ever,” Jack scratched his head, “However now we have to clear your quest first, proper?”

As Lydia nodded, Arad and Aella sat to eat their breakfast. “Did you two make up?” Arad checked out them.

“You may say we obtained previous it.” Lydia smiled.

“Previous it?” Jack stared at her, “I nonetheless keep in mind you folks beating me,”

“It was them, not me.” She shook her fingers, “You additionally did a grimy one on us by stealing the letter. We’re even now.”

After the break, They headed towards the guild to register Lydia’s quest. “Nina, I used to be to register a particular quest,” Lydia mentioned with a smile.

Nina appeared behind Lydia, “Why are Arad and his associates with you?”

“I’ll examine the disappearance of the oakedge folks on behalf of the church. I wished to get some firm for security.” Lydia replied, trying again, “They’re the very best worth to rent.”

Jack checked out them, “Low cost since we’re low stage, but sturdy.”

Nina sighed, “Fantastic, please write the main points right here.” She smiled, “And the way a lot are you paying?”

Lydia checked out her, “5 gold cash for per week’s journey.”

“So 4 for the hunt and one for the guild,” She appeared by way of the papers.

“The guild often will get twenty % of the pay, however this quest is a bit unpredictable. Make it seven gold cash, and the guild will solely take one.” Nina knocked on the desk together with her finger. “I say two gold cash for every of them is an effective worth to threat their lives for per week.”

Jack checked out Jack, “Mira is making an attempt to get us a great deal. Look she already registered the guild’s pay as one gold coin out of 5. The opposite two cash are going straight to us.”

Lydia sighed, “Fantastic, listed below are seven gold cash.” Lydia instantly dropped the gold on the desk with a smile.

“You did not argue?” Nina was stunned. Paladins are often hard-headed about offers.

“Higher pay, higher work.” Lydia replied as she took the signed quest and handed it to Arad, “Your flip,”

Arad took the hunt again to Lydia, “We settle for Lydia’s request. Are you able to register it?”

“In fact,” She smiled, stamping the paper. “Amber is ready for you on the coaching floor,” She added.
