Chapter 167 167 A Quest...



"We went through lots of trouble finding them the other time, and this time is a little different as our lives are now at stake, so I'll have to decline the offer," Alex said.

"How about 50 health potions and 1000 for each leave, but only if you bring more than 50 leaves," Matthew said with a sly smile on his face.

The offer was too good to reject, the money wasn't the problem for him but he was going to get 50 health potions for free, then Matthew would be able to make more for them.

'Fuck, this offer is too good to ignore, but now that our lives are at stake taking sure a risky quest is out of the question, but we have a good team including Melissa, I'll wait till they are back'

"I'll talk to my friends about it and see if they are willing to take up the quest," Alex said.

"Okay no problem, will you wait here cause I have some work to take care of," Matthew said.

"No problem I'll wait here," Alex said and Matthew closed the door and returned to his work of making potions.

"I wonder what happened to Lena and Zina, I hope they are okay, wait...now that we're in the city I can visit Jessica, maybe she can make another revival orb" Alex shook his head with a smile on his face and Rebecca appeared in front of him.

"Hey Rebecca, what did you receive?" Alex asked immediately.

If anyone among his friends receives a legendary item or a powerful skill, it would increase their chances of survival in a fight.

"I got an Epic weapon but...I don't know how to use it" Rebecca said.

"An Epic weapon for a healer, is it a sword or what?"

"It's a whip"

"A whip...like a rope?" Alex was surprised.

Rebecca opened her inventory and brought out the whip, the whip was indeed an epic quality item as Alex stared at it, ropes were twisted together to form one strong durable rope, the length of the whip was up to four meters, and the top of the whip was bundled with little knives sticking out.

Even Alex knew he wouldn't be able to use the whip if it was handed to him, and Rebecca was no different, she had no experience using weapons and the whip was no different.

Lynx, Max, and Gabriel appeared at the same time. Max and Gabriel had smiles on their faces but Lynx was angry, perhaps he got something completely useless.

"Rebecca, what's that?" Gabriel asked as he saw the whip.

"It's an Epic whip,"

"Epic, what did the rest of you get, I also got something Epic, hehehe" Gabriel smirked.

"You look like you are in a good mood, I also got something pretty interesting, what did you get Alex?" Max asked.

eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ "I also got an epic skill, but it isn't something interesting, and Lynx what's wrong, did you get something bad," Alex said.

"It seems everyone got epic items and skills, I got 50 skill points for my precision stats, I got I would get a powerful dual flintlock or a powerful flintlock pistol" Lynx mouthed.

"An increase like that is still good, but a powerful item is still better, so what did you get Gabriel?" Alex asked.

"I don't need a magic boosting potion, I got an amplifying staff, it increases the power, damage, and range of my spells and it has no cool down, but the only problem is that the staff isn't that durable, it seems like something that I would break with my hands," Gabriel said.

"Your enemies wouldn't be able to go near you so I think your staff is safe," Alex said.

"Guess what I got?" Max said and Melissa finally appeared.

"Hey Melissa, did you get something powerful?" Alex asked.

"I got something but it isn't that powerful and not that useful, I got a dagger," Melissa said and Alex's eyes widened.

"You got a dagger, you don't need it right, is it epic quality, can I see it" Alex spoke without restrain.

"Yes, it's Epic quality, you are an assassin right, do you want the dagger," Melissa asked with a smile.

"If you don't need it, I could use it," Alex said.

"My bows are my weapons, I have daggers but I rarely use them so you can have this one," Melissa said as she opened her inventory and brought out the dagger.

[Blood Dagger - Epic]

[Skill - Ownership]

"It has a skill, but I don't know what it is" Alex mouthed.

"All Epic weapons have skills, and I already have an Epic-quality bow, so I don't need the dagger, and I didn't ask about the skill," Melissa said.

'I'll have to figure out the skill by myself'

"Then why did you take so long, I'm sure I wasted lots of time there but I came here faster than you guys," Alex said.

"The god of games appeared to me, he explained the situation and told me to do my best, I can't believe gods exist," Max said.

"Me too," Gabriel said.

"Me too, and he told me I got a good weapon and explained the skill to me," Rebecca said.

"All of you now have Epic weapons except for me, all I have is a rare flintlock pistol pfff..." Lynx pouted.

"So Max what did you get?" Gabriel asked.

"An Epic skill," Max said with a smile on his face.

"What's the skill?" Alex asked.

"I won't tell, but when it's time for a battle, I'll show it to you guys first-hand" Max smiled.

"We are really shaping up, together we'll be unstoppable in the Bronze Continent, we'll need to leave this city" Max added.

"Before that, I was given a task, though I didn't take it I wanted to hear your opinion on it," Alex said.

"What's the quest, does it involves killing?" Melissa asked with an eager voice before seeing that they were all looking at her.

"No wonder you climbed to the top 5, you took lots of quests that involve killing" Alex laughed.

"And Huntress, why are you wearing a mask, this isn't Nova Online anymore, you can take your mask off," Gabriel said.

"Ohh, I like wearing the mask," Melissa said.

"Are you sure, you should take it off so they can see your face" Alex said.

'What is he trying to do, he knows I don't like people seeing my face but...' Melissa mumbled as she took off the mask.

"Ohh, she has white hair, I wish I was born with white hair" Rebecca mumbled.

"She's beautiful," Lynx said unconsciously before looking away.

"You shouldn't cover your face, you and Rebecca are beauties and we would make use of that one day," Max said in an eerie voice.

"How scary, what do you want to use us for?" Rebecca asked.

"In case we need to get into somewhere and need a distraction, the guards would be fawning over you while we sneak in"

"Ohh, that's not bad, I like it," Lynx said.

Melissa chuckle softly with a smile on her face, none of them paid any attention to the mark on her face, there was a time she knew she was beautiful but after she got the burnt mark she convinced herself that she wasn't beautiful.

"Back to the matter at hand, should we do the quest or not, and yes it involves killing, undead to be precise," Alex said.

"Are we hunting for moonlight plants again?" Max said as he put all the pieces together.

They were in a potion shop and the plants were needed in creating potions, and last time Matthew told them they were undead warriors where moonlight plants grow.

"Yes, but this time the offer is really good, we get 50 free health potions and 1000 coins for each leave, but we must bring more than 50 leaves," Alex said.

"Not a problem, Rebecca's healing cane is effective against undead and we have Huntress on our team, along with a badass marksman, so we won't be taken by surprise like last time," Max said.

"So you guys already did the quest before, then let's get it over with, where can we find the plants?" Lynx asked.

"In the great forest," Matthew said, the group immediately turned around and saw him peeking through a small opening in his door.

"We'll take the quest," Alex said.

[Quest/Task]

[Retrieve leaves of the moonlight plant]

[Reward: 1000 blue coins for each leaf along with 50 health potions]

[Failure: Relationship with Matthew would decrease]
