Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master-Chapter 232 The Mission Scroll
In his past life, part if not most of the missions given out by his master was to track, find, and hunt any hidden dark spirit master bases or gatherings.
He knew he lacked enough strength right now, so dreaming about taking down an entire base of these filthy spirit masters was suicidal.
But if the mission only required gathering intel, then it could be done.
"Tsk! Ok! If you want to throw away your life, then be my guest!" the elder seemed to grow tired of William's childish attitude, "here… The details of this mission are all in here," the elder took out a scroll from his ring, and let it slip through the gap of the window, "take your time and please… Consider how deadly doing this is before coming here again."
"Thanks senior," William cupped his hands after taking the scroll. He didn't think the details of the mission would be easily given to him on a scroll, and without any charge.
He went to a side of the place where there were many seats were placed neatly around small tables. In fact, he never expected such a place to be designed for such a purpose.
He mistook it for a rest place for the elders working here or something. After all, who would need to read or study anything while being here in the Mercenary department?
The place was void of any spirit master, and William was the first to step in since coming here.
"Hmm… Interesting…" and as he opened the scroll, he felt like the requirements of this mission weren't as simple as he initially thought. 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m
The first part of the scroll spoke about how it was dangerous to take such a mission. William suspected that these lines were added by the academy elders, not by the ones who issued this mission.
Or else anyone thinking about taking this mission would instantly drop the idea and change his mind once reading these lines narrating the casualty count of those who tried to do this mission before, speaking about many dangers waiting for anyone taking the mission, and stuff like these.
He bypassed and ignored this section, heading directly towards the words the real one behind issuing this mission wrote in the scroll. ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢
The mission was mainly about gathering any news about the dark spirit masters' movement and activity in the region of the Scorching Lands and even places juxtaposed to it.
William saw a detailed map of the region and the lands around it, showing off the famous places, trade routes, areas suspected of dark spirit masters' activity, and even places doubted to have bases of the dark spirit masters there.
Then a long list of many points took the rest of the scroll, speaking about different goals that each was enough to get the mission done.
William read points like: Giving information of any dark spirit master presence or movement at a new place not on the map, spotting the travel route of dark spirit master group, and even up to determining the location of a dark spirit master base were included in the list.
"The range of this mission is quite vast, and its goals are many and show a high variety of submissions… It's like a general is planning for a war against the dark spirit masters in that region… I like that!"
William started to get curious about the identity of the one who was behind issuing this mission. When he reached the end of the scroll, he didn't find any name of the one behind this mission.
"Hmm… Once achieved any goal of the mission, please handle the evidence and intel found to any of the Mercenary department nearest to your place. Your performance will be assessed in one hour, and rewards will be delivered on the spot."
William read the last lines of the scroll, which didn't give anything about the identity of the ones behind this mission.
"Quite secretive indeed…" William knew this wasn't a minor mistake or a miss from the ones who issued this mission. They intentionally missed mentioning their names, and even didn't give out a specific location for anyone to track their whereabouts.
All this was a safeguard against any possible retaliation from the dark spirit masters. And that made William surer in his earlier conjuncture… "These dudes plan something big against the dark spirit masters… I want to be in!"
William wasn't joking, but he knew he'd have to wait for a bit longer if he wanted to take part in such big moves.
The missions listed here had many who would suit him and his team's current abilities and strength. As for the evidence of anything, it was simply solved by recording crystals, the ones that were used once by the alchemist master who recorded his actions back in the class.
After pushing aside such thoughts, he returned again to study the scroll. "As expected, the reward of five thousand crystals is just the lowest prize… There are missions with fifty thousand crystals as a reward here!"
The first few missions he read were all about reconnaissance. It was like there was a big empty map, and any team taking these missions were asked to fill it with lots of data about the dark spirit masters' movements and current whereabouts and activities.
It was like the type of missions given out to any scout spirit master teams or something.
The simple missions like giving intel about spotting dark spirit masters location or travelling routes were rewarded with the basic reward.
Following any dark spirit master team, drawing a map of their movement in a zone, or even giving intel about their spirit elements used in their techniques during any fight were rewarded by double the basic prize.
Then the list of rewards started to become richer… And more dangerous.
Missions like trying to kill dark spirit masters and bring their corpses and belongings back were there. Even missions asking to capture one alive and bring him back, or even killing or capturing teams in any zone were also there.
