Chapter: 441

Jay stood by idly, listening to the conversation. It seemed they would have to find out what was happening along with the other adventurers.


After failing to get any additional information out of Margaret, Jay and Anya went outside, standing in the midst of the crowd with other adventurers.

Stepping into the crowd, Jay felt a strange coldness on his neck – turning around, he saw Sullivan glaring at him through the window.

Was this a warning to protect Anya? Perhaps not to use necromancy? Jay couldn’t be sure.

Jay awkwardly gave a thumbs up, but Sullivan turned and went away from the window without giving any clues.

Jay and Anya both stood out from other adventurers – Jay being level nine with Anya being the guild master’s daughter; thankfully they did not stand out as much as previously – other adventurers were level eight now, and it seemed that Jay’s progress had stagnated, and less people looked at him like an idol now.

Little did they know that Jay was actually level ten, and was only 3,000 exp away from hitting level 11.

Still, it was enough for no one to approach them out of reverence.

The crowd finally hushed down as a muscular, athletic man with familiar blue bux-beetle pauldrons exited the association – It was Michael, the guard captain.

“Hn-ahm.” he cleared his throat before he began a small speech.

“Adventurers, a threat approaches from the west. We will need your help…an enclave of wood elementals approaches.”.

The crowd slowly broke out with chatter for a moment.

“What the hell is a wood elemental?”

“Can’t the higher ups deal with it?”

“Yeah, can’t they just cast one spell and wipe them all out?”

Michael hushed the crowd and continued.

“We need you to defend the farmland to the north-west. The rest of the guards will deal with the brunt of the attacks from the south-west, where the forest meets the village,” Michael continued before letting any of them talk.

“We expect them to be from anywhere between level one to sixty, but mostly in the south-west. You should only encounter ones from level one to twenty.”

The crowd began to talk again,

“Level twenty, what the fuck? We’re going to be slaughtered!” many looked around with fear.

Michael spoke up before things got out of hand,

“Rest assured, we will send some level twenty-five and higher guards with you. They will focus on the higher level elementals while you will need to stop the smaller ones. There are many of them, which is why we need your help.”

“I don’t want to see a single one of them getting into the village.” he gazed at them as if it were a threat.

“Move out!” he yelled.
