Chapter 133 - The Dark Tome

This chapter was sponsored by Hab Hak! Thanks!

"What kind of A-rank quest is it?" I asked.

Little Wolf smiled as he held his dagger, "Late last night, Old K and Fox killed a Lv 41 Elite Monster and it dropped a dark tome, which triggered an A-rank quest. We haven't started it yet. At most, only 5 people can share it. Coincidentally, you and Darling Duck just joined us which makes a total of 5 people in our group. We should be able to finish the quest today. How about it?"

I nodded, "Sure, Darling Duck?"

Darling Duck lifted her staff and smiled gently, "It's just what I need! My level is still too low. So as long as it gives me experience, I'll happily do it. "

"Okay, then let's get going. We have to give this dark tome to an old priest in Ba Huang City to activate the quest."

"Okay, then let's return to the city, take a break and then meet up at the north gate?"

"Sure!"

......

5 beams of light flashed, signaling our return to the city. Immediately, I brought Baby Bobo to the blacksmith and repaired my equipped equipment. Afterwards, I withdrew 100 Green Qilin pills and 200 Indigo Sea Pills from the warehouse. For killing low leveled monsters, using Lv 5 pills should suffice but we needed Lv 6 Green Qilin pills for killing bosses. After all, there was a huge difference between recovering 700 mana and 500 mana. After I reached Lv 50, my mana jumped to 746, thus allowing me to use the Green Qilin Pills without any waste.

Afterwards, I bought 50 Lv 6 healing potions from a player. These were made by players; each potion cost 1 gold, but they were worth it since they could restore 1000 health each. I also bought 100 Lv 5 healing potions which would restore 700 health each. The healing was slightly less, but when killing low leveled monsters, they were nice to have on hand. It was essential to always be prepared for anything.

After getting everything ready, I returned to the North Gate market area. Everyone was ready to go.

"Boss, let's go!" Darling Duck was excited.

I nodded, glanced at her and asked, "Darling Duck, how much mana do you have?"

"Over 2200. Why did you ask, Boss?"

"Oh...... "

As I walked ahead, I opened up trade and placed 50 Green Qilin Pills and 100 Indigo Sea Pills to trade with her.

Darling Duck opened her mouth in shock, "Boss...... how do you have Green Qilin Pills? I heard that only members of [Prague] have them and they cost 3 gold a pill. You just gave me 50 pills at once. That's like giving me 150 gold.....and you gave me Indigo Sea Pills too, oh......."

Looking at how flustered she was, I couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, I didn't spend any gold. These Green Qilin Pills were made by me when I found some Green Qilin Grass in a secret location. [Prague]'s pills are supplied by me as well and I kept some for myself. Only when we are killing monsters should you use the pills and be sure conserve your mana. If we're not killing a boss, then only use Indigo Sea Pills, alright?"

Darling Duck nodded and with a smile said, "Hehee, such a generous boss......"

I turned around to look at the city outskirts and smiled: "You're one of us now; I must be a bit generous. Anyway, pills are meant to be used. Just don't use them too fast, otherwise I won't be able to keep us supplied."

"Okay, understood......."

"Let's go, Old K will lead the way. Let's go find the old priest Liu Fu......"
