Chapter 118 -117-Rank S quest (2nd update, Cheer me with Power Stones!)
Ethan took the parchment from Sean, and realized it was a quest description.
Quest: Eradicate Unknown Underground Creature
Quest Level: Rank S Location: Underground mines of Blackstone Volcano Quest Reward: 100,000 gold coins
Quest Description: There have been numerous cases of dwarves disappearing in the underground mines of Blackstone Volcano. In the past half year, a staggering 500 dwarf miners have mysteriously vanished. A month ago, a dwarf investigation team found half a body of a missing dwarf in a pool of lava. The initial inference is that all the missing dwarves have likely met their doom.
Through Divination and trace magic, it was confirmed that the body found did not die accidentally but was killed by an unknown life form.
However, the true face of the culprit remains unknown.
This quest is personally issued by the Dwarf King and has no acceptance threshold; all Heroes can try to complete the quest at the Blackstone Volcano.
"Ethan, I’ll be frank, I’m just one step away from the inner circle of the Dwarf Kingdom... Besides the apparent gold coin reward for this quest, the person who completes the quest will also earn a recommendation from the dwarf race to join the Elder Council of Blackstone."
"To be blunt, I’m asking you, Ethan, to help me complete this quest. The quest reward in gold coins provided by the Golden Stone Guild will not be diminished in any way, and I’ll personally add a bonus of 20,000 gold coins," Sean confessed sincerely.
"My Golden Stone Guild has already sent multiple parties to try to complete this quest, but to no avail...Ethan, you’re a Rank A Hero, undeniably one of the very best in the whole of Stone Rock Harbor. We’ve gathered some of the finest talents for this quest. If even you can’t accomplish it, then there’s truly no hope."
Sean handed over another document, "This is the detailed report about this quest. You can make your decision after reviewing it. I understand that the quest is extremely dangerous, and I won’t blame you if you decline. But should you agree to lend a hand, regardless of the outcome, you will be a lifelong friend to me and to the Golden Stone Guild, earning my eternal friendship."
