Chapter 125: Emergency Quest
Yawnnn...
I let out a long, wide yawn. My eyes were barely open. Beside me, Bob was sleeping while sitting up, his head drooping low, a bit of drool dripping from his mouth.
The clock showed 2 a.m, and we were now sitting in the guild hall. Maya and Evelyn had woken us up in our room. I had no idea how they managed to get in, maybe they had a spare key, or perhaps they asked the owner to open the door.
My body was still sore. After the meeting regarding the tournament today, we went on a quest together with Linus, William, Evelyn, and Maya. We were tasked to hunt amphibian creatures called Gobiid, which looked exactly like oversized mudskippers, except they had four legs instead of two and lived in the muddy region near Lake Thumb.
My shirt ended up soaked and filthy after we killed nearly twenty of them. I used that opportunity to train my skills while moving through the mud, which took a serious toll on my stamina. Just lifting my legs was tiring, and my soaked clothes made it even harder to move. William guided both me and Bob, offering some helpful tips.
After returning home, we immediately took showers and crashed. That was until those two girls decided to disrupt our sleep.
They said an emergency quest bell had been rung by the guild. And as guild members, we were required to obey the call and immediately gather at the hall. Maybe I was so tired that I didn’t hear anything during my sleep.
There were quite a number of adventurers in the hall, and all of them looked very alert, some even anxious. I still didn’t know what was actually happening. Maya and Evelyn were now talking to William, who also seemed serious. I then stood up and made my way to get some water from the counter.
As I walked toward the counter, I overheard the conversations between some adventurers.
"Did you hear? Prince Reymond’s army started moving just an hour ago. Do you know where they’re going?"
"I heard that too. They said the army marched through the west gate. It’s possible they’re heading to Daisy Town."
"Daisy Town? That’s my hometown! What’s happening? I need to find out!"
