76 – The Promotion Test

“Kwuyi…Ik…”

Kung-

The heart of the compressed fireball shot from the mouth of Baekmyeon in the shape of a white sand pierced the heart, and the orc with a body nearly 3 meters tall collapsed backwards.

[C+ grade mercenary request: ‘Investigation of the cause of abnormal breeding of orcs’ has been completed!]

[You have ‘exceeded’ the quest!]

[Quest Completion Reward: (2000) X 2 (Excess Compensation) You have acquired shop points!]

“Nice job, Baekmyeon.”

“Shhh-!”

Shaking his head from side to side at my praise and gently stroking his happy face, I looked around.

By the fire magic, the village of Orcs was roaring, driving away the darkness of the night.

The nasty stench unique to monsters from the corpses of hundreds of orcs strewn around me filled the space.

From noble mtl dot com

‘There were too many orcs for a settlement not far from the road.’

It was only a medium-sized orc colony with excellent fertility to the point that it took one month to be pregnant and born, and the newly born meteoroid orc became an adult orc after one month, but….

It was unusual to have a village of this size on a small mountain right next to the highway, just a few hours away from a big city.

So he brought this information to me, saying that the tomb was suspected to be a trace of the Demonic Church, and I also determined that the abnormal breeding of these orcs was related to the Demonic Church.

After receiving a quest from Karabog’s Mercenary Guild, a quest about this orc settlement and a quest that can be easily completed nearby, in order to get a reward for the quest.

It came right away, but….

“It’s not that the cult of demons was involved, it was just a village headed by an orc who had [B] Gift bloomed… I really couldn’t have imagined this.”

I looked down in amazement at the huge corpse of the orc that had fallen in front of me.

When I discovered this colony, I was worried that I might miss the leader of the Demon Church, so I replaced it with the [Space A-] Gift to scout carefully from a distance, and increased the scope and detail to the maximum with . I scouted the whole thing….

There is no Demon God Order to find, and when I sensed the breeding king orc teasing dozens of female orcs with their lower bodies, I involuntarily burst into laughter.

‘It’s still in the early stages, so the scope of the Demonic Church’s activities isn’t as wide as expected? … Then it might be necessary for me to increase the scope of my activities….’

I fell into a bit of trouble as I put the by-products from dismantling the breeding king Orc in front of me into the subspace.

I am currently based in Karabog, a large city. Although he is active while clearing hidden dungeons and solving simple quests.

The main objective is to disrupt the Demonic Church, which is just beginning to operate, and put a brake on their plans.

If the Demonic Church’s activity is infrequent around here, it will be necessary to move its activity area to another city.

Fortunately, I am receiving a lot of rewards for clearing dungeons at a pace of 2-3 per day, so I have enough money in hand. To the extent that it is not too much of a burden to set up a base in another city.

Moreover, since I have For movement, I don’t mind the inconvenience of going to and from the city.

‘For now, let’s work until today and start going to another city tomorrow….’

I woke up washing the blood on my hands from dismantling with water magic.

“Then, the next request is… ‘[Please find a moon view grass for my sick mother!]’ …That’s it. It will be over soon.”

“Shh?”

“Hmm? Ah, moongrass is a rare herb that blooms for just one hour at 12 o’clock on the night of the full moon and then withers away. They say it’s difficult to collect even for a skilled herbalist.”

How difficult it is to collect, it’s about a B- grade quest, one level higher than the ‘Abnormal Breeding of Orcs’ quest you just finished.

“But since we have a , We can probably find it in less than 30 minutes….Then I guess it’s about time.”

I took out my pocket watch from my pocket and looked at it. It was just before midnight.

After a while. At the same time as midnight, Pointed somewhere.

“… Huh?”

The place pointed to is right next to where I am standing.

Shrulook-

When I lowered my head and looked right next to my feet, there was a plant growing rapidly, as if I had fast-forwarded a plant often seen in documentaries.

And the appearance of a plant that was not even a water plant and seemed to have grown——a white medicinal plant tinged with the faint moonlight.

It exactly matched the characteristics and appearance of the moon view pool written in the strategy guide.

“…Did you find it?”

I looked down at the moongrass grass rustling in the wind for a while, then carefully harvested it so as not to damage it. I turned around and descended.

******

[B-grade mercenary request: ‘Get the moon grass for my sick mother!’ You have achieved!]

[Quest Accomplishment Reward: You have acquired (5000) Shop Points!]

“Thank you! Thank you very much! Thanks to you, my mother’s illness can be cured!”

“…….”

Nod-

After giving a nod to the young man who was eagerly bowing his head and expressing his gratitude. I turned and walked out of the young man’s house.

I looked around the village while putting the pouch containing the payment for this request from the young man into the subspace.

The village I am currently in was a quiet and ordinary village that seemed to have taken the image of a peaceful medieval rural village, called Sacree Village by the locals.

If I had to characterize it, would it be a fairly large inn in the middle of a village with less than 30 households?

This village of Sacree is a small village located a few hours away from Karabog.

Since it is located in the middle of the highway connecting Karabog and other cities, it can be said that it is a village that acts as a sort of sleepy shelter.

‘Well, it’s such an ordinary village that it’s not even listed in the strategy guide…. Anyway, there was only one thing to do in this town, so let’s go back to Karabog. I’m going to attack one or two dungeons around here.’

I opened the strategy book and looked for dungeons around here, walking along the road leading out of town.

… Dag dag- dag dag-

‘… Huh? The sound of horses hooves?’

I was looking at the strategy book, but I raised my head at the faint sound of horses hooves coming from the front.

What I saw there was a large carriage pulled by two horses.

If I listened closely, I could hear people chattering in the carriage.

“Ah… It’s impossible to go all the way to Karabog today, so I told you to rest in the city. Captain…”

“…That’s because you suddenly found a colony of herbs and changed the course of the wagon at will!”

“I don’t remember.”

“You bastard!”

“…Both of you shut up before I, now f*cking tired, slam my Firebird down your ass.”

“”… Yep, sister.”

I sensed that there were about 10 armed men riding in a large carriage.

‘… Is it a mercenary group that goes on a request?’

Seeing that some of them have reached the realm of superhumans, it must be a fairly high-level mercenary group.

I realized that it was such an ordinary mercenary group and turned my attention back to the strategy book.

… Tall

A very slight ‘displeasure’ caught my steps.

It’s like finding grime under your fingernails, a mild discomfort that you don’t even need to worry about.

Feeling that, I stood there for a while, contemplating what to do……

‘…… A little bit, should I buy insurance?’

After taking some insurance, I left town.

******

After leaving Sacree Village.

After clearing two C-level dungeons, I returned to Karabog’s Mercenary Guild.

Let’s open the creaky wooden door and enter,

Knock-

“””…….”””

The mercenaries, who had been talking loudly, became quiet for a moment, and soon started whispering small things as they saw me entering.

“…Yaya! Look at that…!”

“Oh, what else, bastard…”

“That mercenary who just came in…That Mistiltein who started being called the ‘Dungeon Destroyer’ recently…!”

“…What!? It’s only been 10 days since I registered as a mercenary, but that crazy guy who says he only clears over 20 dungeons…?!”

“Yes! Even mercenaries who specialize in dungeon raids take at least a week off when they clear a single dungeon, but that idiot who clears at least two dungeons a day by herself!”

“What is that… It’s scary…”

Ignoring the chatter around me, I moved to the unoccupied reception area.

“Ah! Welcome back, Mistiltein! You’re here earlier than usual today!”

Kitrin, the receptionist who helped me register as a mercenary, greeted me with a smile.

“Ah, you’re checking the dungeon clearing? Can you give me the mercenary plaque?”

I handed over the mercenary tile to Kitrin, who reached out his hand, as if he were accustomed to it, and Kitrin also received the mercenary tile as he was accustomed to, and brought my mercenary tile to the wide crystal plate placed on one side of the reception desk.

Weing-

When the small crystal embedded in the mercenary plaque touched the crystal plate, a peculiar wave began to appear on the crystal plate.

Kitrin watched the waves closely and wrote something down on the paper he was holding, and then he approached me and opened his mouth.

“You’ve cleared 2 C-grade dungeons. What about the raid reward?”

“As usual.”

“Yes~ Then I’ll put all the raiding money in the storage…..”

Kitrin, who was manipulating the crystal ball on the desk as if he was used to it, suddenly raised his head as if he had discovered something, and looked at me with sparkling eyes.

“Congratulations, Missiltane! Thanks to the contribution you earned from clearing this dungeon, Mistiltane has met all the conditions to take the Platinum Promotion Test!”
