A baby dragon has built a nest outside the Novice Village

Chapter 22 New Mission

Fari forced himself to ignore the absurd scene below and silently flew back to his nest.

Apart from the gold coins, he now had only one thing that could arouse Savrina's interest.

Fari rummaged through his treasures and found the black magic gem.

Even in darkness, the gem glows with a shadowy gleam, proof that magic is coursing through it.

"I hope that after so many years of friendship, I can use this gem to persuade her."

That's all Farri could hope for.

Then he flapped his wings.

"I remember she said she was here to clean up the undead here. She probably hasn't left yet."

Fari flew out of the cave, ready to look for Safrina. In the cave behind him, a rain of gold coins began to fall.

Experience is the tradition of the Valandi royal family.

It was also he who left behind this royal tradition of practice.

Lania had changed out of her ranger outfit by now and was now dressed in finery, sitting across from Reinhardt.

This was the title of the report, and it left a deep impression on Reinhardt at the time.

Reinhardt finally received his reward for this escort mission.

And Reinhardt also remembered where he had seen the name Lanya, in a monthly newspaper of the Adventurer's Association a few months ago.

There was still no expression on Lania's face, and it was still difficult for Reinhardt to tell what she was thinking.

This tradition has continued for four generations.

A small box filled with gold coins was placed in front of her, which contained the reward for Reinhardt's mission.

"Maybe that's what big people are like. They don't show their emotions."

Reinhardt could only think so.

He was now sitting in the reception room of a large house, looking nervously at Lanya in front of him.

Every young royal who is qualified to inherit the throne needs to accumulate merits through adventures, and only those with the highest merits are qualified to become the next king.

Every generation of the royal family has suffered heavy casualties due to training. After two crises of extinction, the tradition of training is now in name only.

Adventure is a risky thing, and the temptation of the throne is too great. In order to crush competitors with their own achievements, many young and energetic royals will try to challenge monster nests that are beyond their ability. Not to mention those who will resort to dirty tricks to eliminate competitors.

After all, among the royal family of the Valandi Kingdom of this generation, she is the only one who has undergone personal training.

These were the words left by the first King Detel when he ascended the throne. As a twelfth-level adventurer, he overthrew the dark kingdom that originally ruled here after years of fighting and established the current Kingdom of Valandi.

"The weak do not deserve to sit on the throne."

"The fifth princess of the Kingdom of Valandi has successfully wiped out the gnoll bandits entrenched outside of Sank Castle."

"Then the reward for this mission has been settled."

The house he is in now is located in the inner circle of the royal capital. It has independent city walls and garrisons, and only royal family members can live here.

In his current experience, any achievements made by the royal subordinates would be credited to him, and it actually became a competition between various political factions and forces.

Among this generation of young royals, only Lania still follows the traditional training rules.

Of course, her power alone is obviously not comparable to those of political factions. If we only consider her achievements, she is now ranked almost at the bottom among all the heirs.

"Thank you, sir."

Reinhardt thanked him and took the small box of gold coins on the table. Then the living room fell into a brief silence. Neither of them spoke again. Lania looked at Reinhardt, not knowing what she was thinking, and Reinhardt had no experience dealing with these "big shots", not knowing whether to leave directly or say something.

The two of them just stared at each other in the conference room.

Finally, Lania sighed and seemed to have made some kind of decision. "I want to give you a long-term mission to serve as my bodyguard."

Lania's voice broke the silence in the conference room.

"I know that the situation I'm facing now is a bit complicated. I don't even know who the enemy is. This mission will be quite troublesome."

Lania added.

"Of course, the choice is yours whether to accept this mission."

Reinhardt fell into deep thought. With his current strength, even with a trump card, he was still a little insufficient to be involved in such matters involving the royal family.

He was still inclined to refuse.

"As for the mission reward, it's one thousand gold coins a month."

Lania's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"How many?"

"One thousand gold coins per month. If there are additional tasks, there will be other rewards."

"I did it."

Lanya looked at Reinhardt with complicated eyes, said nothing more, and pressed the bell on the table.

An old man who looked like a butler walked in.

"Mr. Fleming, please take him to sign the specific mission contract."

The old butler walked up to Reinhardt.

"please."

Reinhardt stood up and followed the old butler out of the reception room, while Lanya was still sitting on the sofa in the reception room, as if there was another group of visitors who needed her to receive them personally.

Reinhardt soon saw the next group of visitors. Several men and women wearing robes of the Sun God Cult were walking towards the reception room led by servants.

Perhaps the rampage of the undead had alarmed this sect that believed in the sun god, and Lanya, who had just returned from training in the area where the undead were rampant, became the target of their visit.

But the strange thing was that among these church members there was an elf girl with long silver-white hair. She was not wearing a church robe, nor did she have any church symbols on her body. Reinhardt was a little curious and his eyes stayed on her for a while.

“That’s a strong one.”

Reinhardt felt a faint sense of pressure from the elf.

At the moment when the two sides passed each other, Reinhardt felt as if he was locked in a pair of gazes, and his heart seemed to be gripped by a chill.

But this feeling was fleeting, but Reinhardt knew it was not an illusion, and the strong man had discovered his peeping.

Fortunately, it seemed that she had no ill intentions. Reinhardt withdrew his gaze and followed the butler to quickly leave the corridor.

"Lady Safrina, what's wrong?"

The elf girl turned her head and looked towards the end of the corridor. The priest leading the church team noticed her abnormality and asked.

"No, it's nothing."

The elf girl shook her head, took another step, followed the church team, and walked towards the reception room in front.

"By the way, after this meeting, I may need to take care of some...personal matters."

The church priest performed a sun god church ceremony.

"Lady Savrina, you are a distinguished guest of the church. You are free to act as you wish without any scruples."

After saying this, the priest pushed open the door of the reception room and walked in.
