Chapter 195 - Quest complete? (2/2)
This time when he entered, not a single person paid him any notice, no one looked in his direction or gave him stares and no one was mumbling under their breath.
Ray immediately headed towards the quest bored to find the quest Gorden had told him about, in just a few seconds he had already spotted it but something on it had surprised him.
Ray tore the sheet of paper of the quest board to get a closer look.
”Completed.”
The quest had a big red stamp on it saying completed meaning that the man that Ray was looking for, had already been captured.
”If you're looking for that man then you're too late,” A voice from behind said, ”They got him just a few hours ago.”
When Ray turned around, the man and Ray had the same reaction when they saw each other.
”I remember you!” Ark said.
”Yes, it's been a while.”
Ray didn't actually remember Ark's face, he was a pretty generic pretty boy with blonde hair but what stood out to him was the Armour ark wore. It was so shiny and sparkling that he looked a bit out of place.
The last time Ray had met Ark was when he was with Candy and Tuffy. Ark was originally the town's guild hall protector before he got called off on a quest.
”Do you mind telling me more about what happened?” Ray asked.
”There had been reports that there was a man who had been possed by a demon and wilded a hammer. At first, no one saw it as a big deal until an A rank adventurer took the quest. About a week ago his body was found with multiple round mallet hits. That's when the city escalated the case, they put a huge bounty on the man and asked the two largest Guilds in the city for help.”
”That's why you left the town?”
Ark nodded.
”Yes, we wanted to make sure that no more members would die so we sent out our very best. The two guilds and adventures worked together and headed up the mountains where the man was last seen. The funny thing was though, as soon as we spotted the man he immediately sundered. The man was crying on his knees claiming to be possessed by the hammer itself saying it will destroy the city if we don't do something.”
”So where is he now?” Ray asked.
”My guess is the underground cellar awaiting to go under trial.”
Hearing this was good news for Ray. When Ray had seen the completed status he was afraid that the man had already died and the hammer had been taken. If the man was under arrest they most likely also confiscated his weapon in the underground cellars.
”Thank you for all your help,” Ray said as he turned away and headed towards the door.
”I wonder why he was so interested in him.” Ark thought.
Ray then immediately sent a message to Gary and Jack to come to meet him as soon as possible. Ray now had a new mission, they were breaking into the underground prison.
