28. former quest
“Oh my, this… … .”
Seeing the vegetable soup in the pot in the kitchen, Karen silently looked down at it. I could see a little bit of water in my eyes, but I soon smiled happily, scooped a bowl full of vegetable soup, set it on the table, and sat down.
“If I knew you would come earlier, I would have waited a little longer before eating together…” … .”
“no. Rather, I am grateful. They won’t eat anything without me.”
I think you ate very well… … . Half of the beef jerky I had was gone.
“Mom! This, this was made by Opua.”
“I see.”
“But, it is strange. It was made by Opua, but it doesn’t taste like the one I ate before.”
“okay? Then, would you like to try it, too?”
She takes a spoonful of soup and puts it in her mouth. Then he shuddered and smiled.
“Is mom the same taste as before?”
“Uh, is that so?”
Lena tilts her head at her mother’s words. It would be difficult for her to comprehend the depth of her mother’s words yet. After the meal was over, the children left and I sat down with Karen.
“You look healthy.”
Even at a glance, Karen was incomparably better than before. No, it’s not just that my health has improved, but I feel like I’m surrounded by something I can’t fathom. Well, I heard it from some viewers before. It is said that Karen has the reputation of being a giant chaser and is one of the top 10 archers in Seion. Maybe this is her true self.
“Because I have to be strong to find him.”
“Is that him?”
“Ah, the children’s father. I found out that the children’s father is alive through blood magic through the warchief’s ear that Kay-sama brought.”
“I’m glad. Are you leaving soon to find your husband?”
Karen shakes her head at my question.
“I would like to, but now we are trying to figure out why the gnoll warchief was kicked out of the tribe before the gnolls disintegrated, lost his power, and hid in the conduit, and how the gnoll clan hid in the aqueduct in search of the warchief. I need to know the root cause so I can drive all the gnolls out of the canal, so I can’t move.”
“Wasn’t the tribe disintegrating because of the subjugation party?”
“The reason why the punitive force was able to disintegrate the Gnoll tribe was because of the gap that arose when an incident broke out within them, resulting in the expulsion of the warchief and the division of the Gnoll tribe due to the warchief. Perhaps, if the warchief hadn’t lost his strength, the subjugation would have been insufficient.”
“okay.”
There seems to be a rather complex story. Does it feel like the quest that started in the underground canal isn’t over yet? However, the reason I came here today is not because of play, but because of my job.
Getting a job in other games is just a simple procedure for users to acquire new skills that will help them grow their character, but Seion’s job is different.
This is the dictionary meaning of the word job.
‘Work continuously for a certain period of time according to one’s aptitude and ability to earn a living.’
It is literally getting a job based on the skills you have. People will say that if you enter the game and defeat monsters with good skills, that’s enough, but a job is a measure of the user’s status and position in the game, and this status determines the social status that person can obtain.
In this part, it’s dirty to pursue reality, so it’s hard to get a job itself, and it’s known that some people can’t get a job beyond level 30. In a video on Witube, the target job was a knight, but it took a quest at level 20 to start as a seed and become a knight until level 40.
Shall we say that it is Seion’s way of forcing the user to suffer as much as possible?
Still, the reason I wanted to get a job was simple. Because there is a lot to gain.
It’s not just a matter of good job skills. What can you do when your status and status rise?
Power comes right away. And that power is another power that sets you apart from others.
‘If that doesn’t work, I’ll have to go pick up a mercenary card like other normal users.’
The usual way for many users was to become a mercenary. As you become a mercenary, raise your level, build your reputation, and change to a better job, most of the non-paying or small-paying users take this path. Well, I don’t really expect Karen to get a job right away. It would be nice if it was possible to directly check the friendship level as a numerical value, but Seion did not have such a thing. Isn’t it ridiculous to ask AI for affinity? To be honest, what I was about to do was almost a fluke. ‘Ranger’, a job that can be obtained from Karen, has specialized skills such as search and reconnaissance, ambush, vanguard attack, search and surprise strike, and was a class specialized in light armor, swords, bows, and traps.
That’s why he came to find out about the Ranger from Karen, the Ranger Strider. As I was about to say something after organizing my thoughts in my head, Karen spoke first.
“Kei-sama, I have something to ask you.”
“Yes? which… … .”
“To be honest, I can’t even dare to pursue personal pursuit of the father of the children. The play of the underground canal is also a problem, but recently, there are unsettled groups coming over from the west of China and the Empire, so the city’s security is becoming very unstable. For that reason, I’m looking for someone to track down the father of my child instead of me, and I think Kay is the most suitable. Could Kay-nim take care of tracking him down?”
belt ring-
An unexpected request… … . However, when the contents of the request for him were printed out as a message, I opened my eyes wide in surprise.
[Job Quest – Theo Lindston’s Pursuit]
– Karen requested the tracking of her husband, Theo Lindston.
-Reward: Change to ranger job, 10,000 exp, 100 gold, 100 honor points
“Huh… … .”
A former job quest that I didn’t expect at all appeared.
“I’ll do it.”
There is no reason to hesitate.
Karen nodded at my answer, turned around in her arms, and held out a single red pumpkin.
“Please accept this.”
There was something like a small magnetic needle inside the red amber, and whenever it moved, the needle pointed in a certain direction.
“It’s a blood lord that can track my husband, but you can track it through this.”
“All right.”
I was worried if I had to track it down without any clues, but I’m glad I did. When I put the red pumpkin in, Karen took out a skill book from her bosom and held it out to me.
“What is this?”
“This is a note of one of my skills, it will help you track it.”
I accepted the skill book out of the blue without much expectation, but the moment I checked the skill book, I unknowingly swallowed the wind.
Blue Wind Clan Aura Technique [Rare Grade] [Tier 1]
-Generate stat aura
-Attack power increased by 100% when attacking Auras
-10% drop in instant death judgment
-20% of all damage converted to aura damage
It is a rare grade Aura skill that is said to be harder to obtain than a legendary grade.
Aura skills, even if they are rare, were treated similarly to legend-level normal skills, and were welcomed in any position because of their excellent power and high utility.
“I will write well.”
“Please take care of my husband.”
“Just trust me!”
I will bring you even if you are in hell.

“Ugh… Let’s go play some more.”
“hahahaha, I’ll come again next time. Let’s go alone, Karen.”
I bowed my head to Karen after holding my leg and patting Lena’s head once she was whining.
“Yes. Please be careful.”
“Goodbye, Remy.”
I also stroked the head of Remy, who was standing proudly next to Karen.
“yes.”
After saying goodbye to everyone, I left my introspection and headed to the cafe near the Hearthstone I always went to. After ordering a cup of Americano, I sat down on an outdoor chair and took out the skill book that Karen had given me, with the Aura technique written on it.

“You did a good job saving your abilities.”
While raising the level of 4, I collected undistributed stats. Seion’s equipment shows superior performance at level 20 as a turning point, but instead, there are essential stats according to it, so I gathered it after reading a strategy book that said it was necessary to save stats to some extent. But now that I can learn a new ability called Aura, I’m about to put all of it here.
[You have acquired the Blue Wind Clan Aura.]
Tsutsutsut… … .
With the announcement that the skill had been acquired, the refreshing wind that started from the lower belly rode up to the chest, stretched down to the arms and legs, and whirled around, gathering again and wrapping the head pleasantly.
“Good?”
A smile is drawn Wouldn’t it be a feeling that not only physical ability but also five senses have developed to the next level? No, these are not five senses. Like Spider-Man’s Sixth Sense, you can feel your surroundings without looking.
“Is this a feeling?”
I remember seeing it on YouTube. One of the reasons that differentiates users from those who do not have Aura abilities is that they have a sense of energy, and they can literally grasp the information related to the mana around them as if they are feeling a sense of energy.
“yes?”
It was then. Feeling a hostile energy approaching me… … .

Just as he was about to turn his head, a sharp dagger pierced his waist.
And the owner of the dagger, pressed gently over the cloak of contempt, whispered to me:
“Damn it, I finally got it.”
“What?”
I asked with a frown, but the answer that came back was cold sarcastic.
“You bastard, you have no right to ask.”

Three people in robes surrounded me.
“Follow me quietly. If you don’t want to die right now… … .”
