Chapter 291: Platinum Adventurers.
“Awright, kin someone dae something aboot that dog?”
“Ah wonder how tis doggie tastes…”
“It’s not a dog, it’s a Dire Ruby Wolf but usually their mana-controlling instrument isn’t this advanced, it must have gone through an interesting diet and you can certainly not eat it.”
A handsome sun elf shrugged at the two dwarves from his party as they were looking in the direction of a ruby-encrusted monster. It belonged to the runesmith that lived here and at the moment he had delved into the destroyed home to fetch something.
“Calm down boys, that Runesmith fellow will probably show up soon and then we can leave.”
“Why don’t we just go in, what if he tries to run?”
A woman that was wearing quite the large hat that made her look like a wizard conversed with a large burly man. The man didn’t seem to be okay with the man making them wait. They came to take care of the Lich but were apparently too late to the party. What they were waiting for was confirmation that the monster was actually dead as they couldn’t leave otherwise.
“Why do we even need to confirm the kill, the reanimated skeletons are all dead, doesn’t that mean that the Lich should too?”
“You’re not wrong to a.s.sume that Braum but Liches are smart creatures, there were incidents where a Lich played dead to save their life and then ma.s.sacred the adventurer party that didn’t notice.”
The magician replied in a leisured tone while looking around the somewhat destroyed scenery. Her gaze was drawn away from the large member of her party to a strange spinning object in the distance. Several strange towers that seemingly were windmills stood there. Some of them had been destroyed by some magical spell but a few lasted through. Even now she could feel mana particles forming around them in a strange way.
“Shouldn’t we follow him then Myrtle, what if it just played dead?”
“That won’t be needed, that incident was a peculiar one. For some reason, the party forgot about the world's words. They should have been able to identify that the Lich was faking it but rumors say that they were already tired.”
The lady smiled while looking at Roland’s windmills. This case was a failure, one the party included and the full story was now muddled. It wasn’t strange to forget about the words from their world that people had different ways to interpret. Sometimes the disembodied voice could not be heard if a person was injured or if it was loud. The game-like screens would also be hard to envision in a dark environment which could have led to that predicament happening.
“Hm…”
“Woof!”
She took one step towards those interesting contraptions but was instantly stopped by an angry wolf. While the monster didn’t really pose a threat to her or her party members, they couldn’t just shove it to the side while the owner of this place was away. The knight that belonged to the Valerian household was still there. Even though he was weak and a non-issue if something happened to him, they would probably be blamed now after the Lich was dead.
“Can’t wait for five minutes?”
A voice resounded from the crumbling home that belonged to its owner. Soon a large man dressed in magical armor emerged with a large monster skull in his left hand. Without a doubt, it belonged to an undead magician as it had lingering tier 3 mana around it. With this, the mission of this party had kind of been ruined as they had been tasked with taking out the monster themselves. They would only be getting part of their commission due to this, which made the whole trip here a big waste of time.
…
“This should be enough to confirm the kill, I hope you don’t expect me to return the monster’s remains, it died in one of my traps and by law, it belongs to me.”
“It does seem that it’s the Lich and don’t worry Mr. Wayland was it? We would not do such a thing.”
“One of your party members wanted to eat my tamed wolf, you’ll have to excuse me for being wary.”
The old woman laughed at Roland’s comment. In reality, he would probably not be able to do anything else than trigger the explosives around the entire compound and make a run for it if they decided to attack him. The woman looked to be in her mid-thirties but Roland had the suspicion that she was somehow altering her appearance. It wasn’t strange for magicians to have access to some life-prolonging magic or elixirs. Considering that she had the highest level of the whole group here it wouldn’t be strange if she was a lot older than she led people to believe.
“Myrtle, this wasn’t what we agreed on!”
“What do you want me to do, revive the Lich so we can kill it again? I’m not that sort of mage.”
Roland peeked at the party of five and while they were arguing he decided to go through their levels and cla.s.ses. Luckily the group wasn’t wearing any protective trinkets to protect them from an identification attempt. To him this was strange but not everyone had things to hide like a certain runaway n.o.ble.
| Cla.s.ses: T3 Cryomancer L 52 T2 Advanced Ice Mage L 50 T2 Ice Mage L 50 T1 Mana Scribe L 25 T1 Mage L 25 ;The woman had put a lot of faith into just one element of choosing. A Cryomancer cla.s.s was able to produce quite the array of ice spells. It wasn’t strange for someone like her to appear at a mission involving a fire dungeon but her ice magic wouldn’t be that effective against a Lich.
