Chapter 32: Unexpected Turns of Events
According to Kael, people really had two options in this world. You could either lay low and hope the world didn't consider you as its enemy, or become strong enough to oppose the antagonization of the world.
He sighed and told Stephen, "Elaborate."
Stephen didn't like his current situation, but he decided to gamble anyway since this was his only chance at life.
"Do you know Nanjing Sheng, the Sword Immortal of Cloud Siren City?" Stephen asked.
Seeing Kael nod, he continued, "He wants to upgrade his Class from Rare to Epic and had already gathered the necessary ingredients for the ritual except for one."
He looked at Kiona and said, "The heart of any beast who has an Epic-Stage Fire Affinity. As you know, it's very rare, and even after searching for years, he didn't find any clues to it."
He paused for a second and then added,
"So, he posted a quest in the Adventurer's Guild. Anyone who can find clues about an Epic-Stage Fire Affinity will get a reward of 2,000 Gold coins. And anyone who actually finds and brings it to him will receive the grand reward of 10,000 Gold coins and a mansion in Cloud Siren City."
This time, it was Kael's turn to be shocked, as he just stared at Stephen to see if he was lying. But then he thought about the value of an Epic-Stage Class and felt the rewards were reasonable.
If that man succeeded in upgrading his Class, he would become one of the most valuable people in the human domain. Even the Church of Dawnfire would have to show respect to him.
'Still, 10,000 Gold coins is an insane price.'
