Chapter 20: Top-level Task_2

"Isn't it obvious? The young miss grew up under my care; ever since she was born, the head entrusted this task to me. I couldn't believe it myself at that time, after all, we're hardly anyone of significance within the Court of Justice! You should get moving; time is of the essence."

One shadow among the two vanished in a quick action, while the other silently followed behind Ah Dai and Xuan Yue.

Strolling along, Xuan Yue said excitedly, "Ah Dai, imagine if we complete this task, our mercenary level might skyrocket! We might even become Special Class Mercenaries - sounds fun, doesn't it? Teehee." It seemed she had already forgotten about the conflict with Ah Dai in the morning, her mind filled with anticipation for the adventure.

They had already retrieved the Tian Gang Sword from the Mage Guild. Ah Dai had no objection to Xuan Yue accepting this task; the only term imprinted deep in his mind was 'Top-Grade Crystal'. "Miss, I have a question," he voiced.
