Magus: Rise of the Darkness Empress

Weiss quickly started to read about the mission. There was a possibility that this mission was not about the hunting of the Earth Overturning Great monster at all but Weiss hoped for that to not be the case.

Fortunately for her, Weiss’s wishes came true and it was really a recruitment notice for the hunt of the Earth Overturning Great monster. Weiss immediately took the mission and brought it to one of the employee here who was in charge of handling the missions.

As the qualification for taking this mission was to have the strength of a high level knight apprentice and Weiss, in her Sasha disguise was giving of the aura of exactly that power level, she was able to accept the mission without any trouble.

After that she was given a date and location. Weiss needed to be at that location in the mentioned time to join the expedition team. She was also given a thin notebook that had a bit more details about the mission written on it.

Weiss ordered some fruit juice with very low alcohol content and started to check the notes that she was provided.

It looked like at least 10 official knights would be participating in this hunt. These Knights were not only from the Falgur family but were also from other nobles and organisations.

From this, it was clear that Count Falgur was taking the task of hunting the Earth Overturning Great monster very seriously.

So even though he already had a powerful force consisting of more than 10 knights, he was still trying to get some mercenaries from the Seven Heroes Conclave to join.

These high level knight apprentices’ main duty would be to assist the knights and to scout the way. There could also be weaker monster around the main target, so those monsters would also be left to the apprentice knights to handle.

It was definitely a dangerous job but as the count was paying a very generous sum of money for it, there were quite a few mercenaries who were interested in taking this task.

Just as Weiss was done reading all the information, suddenly another man joined her in the table. And this person was none other than Feberend whom Weiss had met last time.

”Miss Sasha, good afternoon. I saw that you just took the mission of assisting in the hunting of the Earth Overturning Great monster. Is that really true ?”

Weiss nodded her head in agreement to this question. Immediately Feberend’s eyes lit up in delight and he said -

”What amazing luck. I also have decided to take that mission. So I was thinking it will be very awesome if we can assist each other during the mission. Nothing too serious, just looking out for one another to make sure we can come back with our life intact.”

Hearing this proposal, Weiss thought for just a little bit but then nodded her head in agreement. If Feberend was asking her to team up with him, then she would have immediately rejected the offer.

But just looking out for one another was not a big deal. Weiss could tell that Feberend was definitely not weak among the high level apprentice knights and he looked to have a lot of connections because of his outgoing personality.

So there was a chance that he might provide Weiss with some assistance during the mission. For that reason, she nodded her head again and accepted this proposal.

After that Feberend took Weiss to meet up with two other high level knight apprentices who had also taken this same mission. Weiss got to know them a little and left the tavern after having a brief conversation with both of them.

Weiss was done with her plans in the Seven Heroes Conclave much sooner than she had expected.

She was planning to spend one gold coin again and ask Shin about the Count and his Earth Overturning Great monster hunt. But because of the mission, she did not need to do so now.

While talking with the other high level apprentice knights, Weiss also came to know who were the other nobles and organisations who would be sending official knights to join the expedition.

And one of the names among the participants stood out to her and that was the Night Crow. Just as Weiss had expected, it looked like the Night Crow would be assisting Count Falgur for this hunt by sending two official Knights from there side.

Weiss was not sure if Karl would be chosen as one of the two Knights or not but the chance of that happening was not very high. Karl had just returned from a long term mission, so the leader was most probably not going to call for him anytime soon.

But Weiss wanted to have Karl in the team for this expedition. So she decided to tell Karl to ask around in the head quarters of the Night Crow about who would be joining Count Falgur from their side.

The meeting time that was given was one week away. So in order to not miss this big opportunity, Weiss would needed to stay in the city for a little bit longer time than what she had expected.

But that was fine. The Earth Overturning Great monster’s value was high enough for Weiss to not mind a little bit of delay. So she decided to use the week’s time to properly prepare for the expedition.

...

In a luxurious reception room, count Falgur and count Devonok were having a pleasant conversation. While count Falgur looked like a very refined old man, count Devonok looked like a brute.

He had a large structure that was filled with muscle. And with his tall height of about 2 meters, he looked like a mini giant.

This was also an effect of the knight’s secret art that the Devonok family used. So most of the members of this family looked like a mini giant just like the count here.

”Lord Devonok, I am really impressed by your family’s secret art. Even though you are still a mid level knight, your strength is nowhere inferior to me, a high level knight. Even though I managed to get the victory in our bout, I believe that if it was any other high level knight against you, they would have a very hard time defeating you.”

”Hahaha, thanks for the praise count Falgur. Your reputation as one of the best high level knight is definitely not ill founded. I am looking forward to see how much stronger will you become after we have managed to take down the Earth Overturning Great monster.”

”Yes, we have also gotten a lot of cannon fodders to join us by using their greed for money. So I am very confident that we will be able to successfully trap the Earth Overturning Great monster without much trouble. A few of the high level apprentice knights would definitely die in the process but that is not really a big deal.”

Saying this both of the noble counts started laughing loudly. It looked like their plans were proceeding very well and so they were in a good mood.
