Chapter 710
“So, guess who’s being dragged along for some bullshit,” Ben said as he got to the realm that night, finding both Myriad and Helori at work while Nare was off for whatever reason. “I’ve been pulled to act as an observer for some rank one quest. I don’t suppose either of you know anything about it, do you?”
“Hmm? I haven’t heard anything on the matter but I’m not exactly most involved in the affairs of any major guild. Helori?”
“Why would I know, I have enough other work to focus on. Why, what’s the quest?”
“Some sort of observation thing. Me and Thera and from the sounds of it a few others are off to judge some fighting force that’s been put together but if you don’t know anything then it’s fine. Even if we’re going to be watching them fight some demon swarms, with Thera there I don’t think it will be that big of a deal.”
“Mmh, well be careful anyway,” His god told him. “It still really hasn’t been that long since you got back.”
“It will be fine. Anyway, a lot of more important things to talk about. Namely, seeing the world’s mythic-ranked items and I also finished one of my many projects. Mostly at least, I need some help to really finish it.”
“Then start with the first if you’re going to need help later. What did you think? Impressed?”
“Impressed, annoyed, and more than a little exasperated. They were all interesting and I’ve already been able to apply a bit of what I’ve seen to my work but honestly, the fact that we have not one but two items whose purposes have been lost to time makes me want to rip out my hair and seeing that at least one is one-hundred percent being mismanaged in a time it really could do a lot of good is literally just as bad. I’m trying to ignore all of that though to instead focus on the bright side.”
“Well, ignoring any quirks of fate that left the creators of some of them too dead to explain their purposes, what do you mean mismanaged?”
