Chapter 24 Emergency Commission

With the monkey's analysis, Otto obtained a strange piece of information.

A cursed life form whose soul resides within a puppet.

"Is the witch cursed?"

Otto squinted and followed silently behind the doll.

Come to think of it, a normal person wouldn't use a doll as a mouthpiece. The other person must have encountered some kind of misfortune to have no choice but to do this.

The black sheep, seemingly following the monkey's analysis, also sensed something amiss.

Black Sheep discovers that this curse seems to contain the aura of a demon.

"demon?"

Otto found it strange; he had never heard of a demon in Lot Village, and there was no similar creature in the monster encyclopedia.

Otto's knowledge of demons was limited to the bizarre stories he had seen in his previous life, so he couldn't make a direct judgment.

However, he still kept this matter in mind, just in case he encountered any trouble.

Just as Otto was pondering, the will of Una, which was contained within the doll, seemed to remember something and once again gave the novice adventurer a few words of advice.

"I almost forgot, go back and tell Micah that the ancient artifact he's looking for has been found."

Tell him to prepare King Thorne and the team.

These words surprised Otto.

This rabbit plush toy seems to have a bad memory.

After all, Otto came with Micah last night. If he really had any clues, he should have told them last night.

But besides that, Otto was even more curious about ancient artifacts.

"Miss Witch, what is this ancient relic?"

Otto figured that anything that could interest Micah must be very important, and he needed to find out more about it.

However, the doll didn't seem to care much and just explained leisurely.

"Items that have absorbed the energy, will, and spirit of their surroundings and developed wondrous properties over time can be called ancient relics."

However, the ancient artifact that Micah needs is rather special. Let your captain discuss the details with you.

After saying this, the rabbit doll immediately closed the door.

Seeing this, Otto had no choice but to go back and talk to Micah again about the ancient artifacts.

Otto speculated that Micah's eagerness to rebuild the team was likely due to that ancient artifact.

With that in mind, Otto immediately quickened his pace.

After visiting several wineries and handing the contract to Sam, Otto gave a few instructions before heading towards Oaktown.

Unfortunately, Sam was only willing to offer a brokerage fee of sixty copper Thorns.

In the end, Sam took the fifty copper Thorns to the witch to settle the debt, and Otto only received ten copper Thorns.

"Being an adventurer is definitely an expensive profession."

Otto was quite emotional, realizing that he had indeed earned a lot recently, but his expenses had also increased considerably.

Otto hadn't even asked Micah how much it would cost to rent the leather armor of the Giant Bear, so it seemed unlikely that he could keep those ten copper Thorns.

However, the recent harvest has been quite good.

Otto not only developed a better understanding with his "Animal Friends," but also obtained the Golden Sun Honey Core Ring, making him more adept at dealing with monsters and unexpected events.

Otto plans to take on more commissions to earn money after finishing Sam's commission report and the guild's course today, hoping to buy the Terror Bear Leather Armor as soon as possible!

However, just as Otto was planning his next move, he had already arrived at the Adventurers' Guild.

It was already noon, a time when adventurers would normally be out and about.

But now?

There seemed to be quite a few people gathered in the Adventurers' Guild Hall!

"What happened?"

Otto keenly sensed that something was wrong.

He even spotted Micah in the crowd.

At that moment, Micah was leaning against the counter, chatting with Eileen while wiping the giant axe that was taller than him.

The axe gleamed brightly in the midday sun, but no one in the hall dared to step forward and reprimand Micah, simply letting him do as he pleased.

Micah put away the giant axe only after he saw Otto.

Eileen simply and directly explained the situation to Otto.

"We have dedicated service providers who come to your door."

With Eileen's explanation, Otto learned that an adventurer team had encountered trouble.

"The Wings of the Flower Fairy" is a team consisting of three Log-level adventurers.

Two days ago, they accepted the task of collecting Moonflower and entered the Blackthorn Forest.

Just earlier, one of the members of the Flower Fairy Wings escaped back, muttering eerie words, and soon after, he passed out.

Therefore, the guild immediately created an emergency commission, summoning adventurers with special talents to participate in the search and rescue team.

You are one of them.

Otto understood why without Eileen having to explain further.

Clearly, his own spiritual eye had a significant advantage when participating in such operations, which was why it had approached him.

As for Micah, he knew yesterday that Otto would be coming to the Adventurers' Guild, so he simply came here first to wait for him to go on the mission together.

Upon seeing this, Otto immediately spoke up.

"Compensation, resources."

Otto got straight to the point and explained what information he wanted to know.

Adventurers are different from ordinary people.

They should have known before joining the guild that this was not a refuge, and that every mission was fraught with danger.

If it were someone you knew like Phyllis, it wouldn't matter.

He wasn't planning on participating in this adventure if the rewards and resources didn't meet his expectations, since they were just a few strangers.

Eileen wasn't surprised by this, and simply nodded.

"The reward is quite good. For each surviving team member found, you will receive a Golden Thorn. If both are rescued, the client is also willing to give you an ancient relic and a membership permit for Skywing."

But if those two team members die, at least the tag must be brought back, and the reward is only two silver Thorns.

Eileen briefly explained the commission to Otto.

You should know that even a Log-level adventurer might not be able to save up a single Gold Thorn even after a year of hard work.

This mission is Otto's chance!

"Not to mention, there's also the influence of the Wings of the Sky."

Eileen gave the country boy a simple explanation about the Wings of the Sky.

"The Wings of the Sky are a renowned knightly order in the North."

It is said that they are composed entirely of extraordinary professionals, and joining them means gaining access to powerful extraordinary professions.

This is an opportunity for you.

However, Otto did not react enthusiastically to Eileen's kindness.

As long as there are monkeys around, Otto will eventually discover those hidden extraordinary professions. There's no need for him to sacrifice himself to join the Knights for such petty gains.

After all, that's the kingdom's army; who knows what kind of constraints they might have?

Moreover, I have too many secrets, and joining the Knights is far less convenient than operating within the Adventurers' Guild.

Thinking of this, Otto immediately refused Eileen, saying only lightly.

"Replace that permit with King Thorne."

Now, let's talk about the composition of the search and rescue team. If I'm going alone, then just pretend I never heard of this.
