Creation System: Reborn As A Fantasy Worldsmith

Chapter 391 Hyroon Family Quest

"More awake huh? I guess that's a good way to describe it," Lyrian replied, scanning the different quests.

Zyon spoke up, "They got the new quests up today since it was closing in at the end of the month. But it seems they've replaced all the older quests with these new ones. I guess they are of higher priority." He spoke with a skeptical tone as he squinted his eyes.

Zyon continued, pointing at a quest, "Let's do this one. It's a pretty good one. Not only is it only Platinum ranked, which won't be too hard for all of us combined, it also pays fairly well for its difficulty."

The reward for completing the quest was 30 gold coins.

Osikae spoke at that moment, "No. It's far too easy." He said, inciting a pause among the group members.

"What do you suggest, Lyrian of Anaviotis?" He abruptly asked, still facing forward.

Everyone looked at Lyrian, who didn't hesitate to answer.

"I'm coming along again huh?" He said, as Zyon quickly exclaimed, "Hardly. It is us who want to tag along with you." With a nervous chuckle.

Lyrian continued, "If that's the case, Osikae is right. An easy one wouldn't fit the situation. Let's try this one."

Lyrian pointed to a Mythril-ranked quest, making everyone's eyes open slightly in surprise.

"Are you sure..." Cylline said, slightly hesitant to accept such a quest.

The others were equally as baffled, all apart from Osikae.

He remained silent, not denying the preposition.

Zyon spoke at that moment, "A Mythril-ranked quest huh... Mythril quests are most of the time the most broad quest range. It can go from a very difficult quest at the very least to being a quest that requires the very strongest of adventurers."

He looked at Lyrian, who firmly spoke, "I'm sure I'll be able to deal with it. Plus... I need some training while I'm here."

At that moment Osikae added, "Then it's done. We will be doing this quest that Lyrian requested."

These words finalized the decision amongst the group.

"Oh~~shit! Going with Lyrian always seems to be a dangerous decision." Rothis cried, slightly afraid, "Hopefully it isn't as bad as last time." He complained.

"Bad as last time? Last time was hardly bad... I hope this time, it's going to be a bit more eventful and have some more knowledge." Lyrian took the quest poster and turned around.

He read it fully on his way out as the rest of the gang followed him.

"Quest title: Protect the Hyroon family in their travels."

"Quest reward: 100 Gold."

"Quest description: The Hyroon family is an influential figure within Veridrake. They control the flow of mana throughout the kingdom and have been awarded several prizes for intellect. Currently, they request a travel protection source for their journey from the sanctioned city of Jambaal to the near-wall outer city of Hogolsworth for a monthly meeting. Your job will be to help them traverse the horrible terrain and dangerous lands, filled with high-threat level creatures, and as of yet, even powerful bandit groups. If done successfully, you will not only attain gold but also the good impressions of the Hyroon family."

'A hefty quest... but it should be doable.' Lyrian mused, taking the quest to the main desk.

A young lass working behind the counter noticed Lyrian approaching her and quickly gathered herself.

"Welcome, Lord Lyrian! How may I assist you?" She spoke gleefully with puppy eyes.

"I want to accept this quest."

He said, placing the quest on the table between them.

Behind him, Rothis couldn't help but chuckle slightly, "Ah... he doesn't know..." He exclaimed.

As soon as the young lady saw the quest poster, she stammered in her speech, "A-ah... I see. Well, I'm afraid for a quest of this stature, I am of no help. I will send a word to the upper branch and see if they can schedule a meeting for you for this quest."

"I see... but make it quick. We don't have much time." Lyrian made sure to say before turning around.

When he did, he saw Rothis looking at him with a smirk on his face, "Yeah... I kinda forgot to tell you that you need to request a meeting to accept a Mythril and up-ranked quest."

"Doesn't matter," Lyrian replied nonchalantly.

At that moment, Cylline began to head toward the stairs.

"We can wait in the upstairs lobby. If we get a meeting, they will call us there."

As she said this, everyone made their way to the top floor.

On arriving there, Lyrian surveyed the large room on top with many doors heading to different parts of the adventurer's guild.

They sat in a lounge, waiting for their name to be called as they discussed the quest.

"It's going to be very difficult... but I think we have it under control, right?" Zyon said with slight nervousness behind his tone.

"With Lord Lyrian, we shouldn't struggle too much. That's only if this quest goes normally." Solvir exclaimed, turning to Osikae who was looking off to the side.

"Osikae... you've taken this very quest before, right? In the past?" He asked.

"Yes. It was once when I was a bit younger. I took it with another random group. Last time, it was quite easy since it was during the time of the year when animals were less rambunctious. The cold."

This gave everyone a bit of relief. However, that emotion quickly went away again as he said.

"But... it will be completely different this time." He spoke with a serious tone, furrowing his brows as his arms crossed, "The animals around this time of year are very lively, and on top of that, they are oddly alive for some reason. You should have already understood that after looking at the quests on the board. That's the reason why a quest like this, which was only 

60 gold before, has risen to 100. I'm sure almost no one else is willing to take it, especially not with the scares of kidnappings that have been going on recently. That's caused the bandits groups to show themselves more as well..."
