nOutside the Myriad primordial forest.

n

"Idiot, what took you so long?

"

n

"Sorry, brother, the guild master asked us to stop this mission for now.

"

n

"What? Why?

"

n

"He ordered us to go back now to the guild. Not only us but all the guild members have to assemble in the guild by evening.

"

n

"But we are so close to finishing off one of the two targets.

"

nThe two masked assassins Kill blade and Kill slash who were tasked with the assassination of Lucas and Evan, were having a conversation.

nFrom the conversation, Kill slash was obviously not happy to leave their mission in the middle; however, he could not go against the guild master's orders.

n

"I know but the guild master was so serious saying that there will be bulk assassination orders soon.

"

n

"Bulk orders?

"

nHowever, hearing Kill blade's next words make Kill slash's eyes shone with a glint as his previous displeasure disappeared without a trace before being replaced with excitement.

n

"Are there any special events happening in the coming days? Right, there is an auction but are we going against the adventurer's guild?

"

nAlong the way, Kill slash asked Kill blade; however, Kill blade didn't have any idea regarding more information on the 'Bulk orders'.

n

"Hm

"

nSoon, both the assassin increased their pace as they rushed towards the assassin guild in the Silver stone town.

nNot only these two assassins but the adventurer teams of all the top families who were about to enter the forest dropped their plan to enter the forest as they rushed back to their families after getting the message to come back as soon as possible.

n...….

nIn the outskirts of the Baron grounds of the Myriad primordial forest.

nA light red-coloured crystal was lying on the ground emitting a glint occasionally.

n

"Ma...master, we are rich.

"

nPorter also saw the crystal and became excited as he said to Lucas.

n'Beast crystal?'

nLucas had a memory of seeing such an item when he was in the old firmament as he picked up the crystal from the ground.

n'Ding,

nItem name:- Beast core.

nGrade:- rank 3

nUse:- 1) Helps lesser knights or above ranked knights in recovering their knight energy within the shortest time possible.

n2) Can be used in the preparation of pills.

nEnergy stored:- 100

/ 100 units.

nSoon, the information regarding the small crystal appeared in front of him.

n

"We will get some gold coins but we will not be rich.

"

nLucas knew he could sell this beast core for a good price; however, he knew it was not enough for him to consider he would be rich with it.

n

"Here, use this to recover your knight energy.

"

nStretching his body a little, Lucas threw the beast core at Porter.

n

"No..no..no..master. This is very valuable to be used by me.

"

nPorter caught the beast core; however, he felt it was a waste of such a great thing to use for himself; instead, of selling it.

n

"If I said to use it, then use it.

"

nLucas raised his brows as he continued,

"You will only use it until you use half of the energy in it. Then, we are going to sell it.

"

n

"But, isn't it going to decrease the value of the beast core? I can simply let the knight energy recover on its own.

"

nFor a lesser knight or above ranked knight, it was very easy to detect how much energy is left in a beast core. So, Porter worried about decreasing the value of the beast core.

n

"Don't worry about it. I need you to be in peak form.

"

nLucas's words made Porter's heart warm.

n'I can simply auction it off in the coming auction. Since it was already a rare thing for a rank 3 beast core to appear. Not to mention those rich families' ego to get such a rare thing.'

nLucas had attended many auctions in his past life and he knew how the powerful families would outbid their competitors. So, he knew, the energy inside the beast core doesn't matter much in front of the egos of the top families.

n

"But before that, let's clean up all the carcasses before more spirit beasts come up here.

"

nLucas was still wondering about how a rank 3 spirit beast appeared in the outskirts of the Baron grounds? So, he didn't want to stay much longer before another rank 3 spirit beast showed up.

n

"Yes, master.

"

nSoon, Lucas and Porter threw all the carcasses around them into three huge sacks before putting them on the horses as they rushed out of the forest.

n

"Stop right there.

"

nJust as they came out of the forest. Lucas and Porter were stopped by a group of adventurers.

n'Huh?'

nLucas frowned when he saw a group of knights and mages in front of him with arrogant looks on their faces.

n

"What do you want?

"

nPorter controlled his horse as he stood in front of Lucas' horse as he asked in a cold voice.

n

"Give up 50 percent of your gains from the forest along with your two horses and we will let you live.

"

nA middle-aged man walked forward as he gave his demands.

n

"And what if we don't?

"

nPorter was checking the strengths of the adventurer in front of him before Lucas replied to the leader of the adventurers.

nIt was not that Lucas was arrogant; instead, he felt there was no need to worry about a bunch of 'bandit adventures' whose leader had only the strength of tier 1 lesser knight strength.

nAs for the remaining 'bandit adventurers', they were either mid-level squires or mid-level apprentices.

nSo, Lucas was not worried as he could instantly kill all of them with his hidden needles while they were still unprepared and as for the leader, Porter could easily take care of him with the help of the lesser mage robe's effect.

n

"Then we will take everything you have...haha.

"

nThe leader of the 'bandit adventurers' was shocked for a moment before chuckling as he ordered his men while pointing at Lucas,

"Kill him and bring the loot.

"

n

"As long as I am alive, it is not going to happen.

"

nPorter wore the mag robe as he jumped off his horse before rushing at the incoming bandit adventurers.

n

"But your opponent is me.

"

nThe leader of the bandit adventurers stopped Porter from killing his men as they started fighting one another.

n

"I only need to stall for sometime before my men kill your master then we are going to kill you and take this artifact...Haha.

"

nThe leader sounded excited as he replied to Porter.
