Chapter 40: "Death" Eric Gor
[Ding! Mission triggered!]
Mission Name: "Death's Wrath"
Task details:
Eligor, the guild master of the dark guild "Iron Forest," nicknamed "The Grim Reaper," has his eye on you. Because you wiped out all of his key subordinates! This has enraged "The Grim Reaper," who vows to make you pay! Beware of the Grim Reaper's scythe!
Hint: The bounty on "Death" Eric Gor is a whopping 8.5 million J.
Maybe he's just throwing money away? Defeat him! A huge windfall!
Mission Progress: Defeat "Death" Eligoro (Incomplete)
Quest Reward: Random Skill.
After Moen left the Magic Council's office with 150,000 J, the [Saint Seiya System] suddenly popped up.
Moen's eyes immediately fell on the mission rewards section. He was pleasantly surprised; this random skill was quite something!
The rewards for this mission are not limited to Bronze Saints; that is to say, you may randomly receive skills from Silver Saints, or even Gold Saints!
Thinking about it, this might not necessarily be a good thing. With a larger pool, the chance of drawing a useless skill also increases. It's not limited to Bronze Saints, but it doesn't necessarily mean you won't draw a useful skill.
The skills of the "Five Little Strong Ones" are far superior to those of some lowly Silver Saints.
Of course, if you can get the skills of a Gold Saint, then you've definitely made a profit; at least it won't be worse than the "Five Bronze Saints".
"Erigor, the Grim Reaper? Is he really that famous?"
Moen thought about it for a moment. The title "Grim Reaper" sounded very prestigious. This Eligoll must be no nobody.
"Iron Forest" is a dark guild that has only emerged in the last two years. I think the guild leader is named Eric.
However, in Moen's memory, Erik Gor didn't have the title "Grim Reaper." Presumably, it was a name given to this guy by the [Saint Seiya System], just like Natsu's "Fire Dragon."
"It means you'll receive this title in the future, right?"
After all these years, Moen has pretty much figured out the system's style. Those seemingly nonsensical contents in the missions might actually be harbingers of the future.
'Looks like I should keep an eye on this Iron Forest Guild.'
With that in mind, Moen turned back to the office and asked the Magic Council staff for information about the "Iron Forest" guild. Relying on "Fairy Tail" and the surname Dola, he easily obtained what he wanted.
The Magic Council's official office naturally had Moen's information, since he was a registered mage of Fairy Tail. After he gave his name, the "uniformed guys" had already checked his information.
Makarov Dreyer, a mage from Fairy Tail, can easily obtain information about dark guilds.
The Magic Council originally encouraged legitimate guilds to fight against the Dark Guilds; otherwise, they wouldn't have put bounties on the Dark Guilds' members.
Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord are the two old rivals who have fought the most against dark guilds in the Kingdom of Fiore.
These two long-established guilds always try to outdo each other in everything, and Fairy Tail currently has the upper hand.
"Don't worry, Mr. Dole, if we manage to extract the specific guild address, we'll definitely send it to Fairy Tail first."
"Uniform Guy" made a very serious promise to Moen, since these four prisoners were captured by Moen, and once the interrogation results were obtained, they would give them priority to Moen's guild.
This can be considered a conventional approach, and it's one of the ways the Magic Council demonstrates its fairness and impartiality.
Moen gave the "uniformed guy" a thumbs-up as a sign of his appreciation, then took the documents and left the office.
The "uniformed guy" who had been liaising with Moen was named Pro. Moen had a pretty good impression of him because this guy had waived a small amount of compensation for Moen.
During the battle with the four people from "Iron Forest", Moen accidentally damaged a small section of the wall. He reported it truthfully and was prepared to pay a certain amount of compensation for the repairs, but Pro told him that he didn't have to pay for it.
He was attacked by the mages of the Dark Guild, and was the victim. He accidentally caused some damage while fighting back, and the blame should also be placed on those "Iron Forest" who attacked him.
Moen readily accepted this explanation. Although it was just a section of wall and the compensation wouldn't be much, the Magic Council's attitude was still very pleasing. They couldn't let their heroes bleed and weep at the same time!
After leaving the office, Moen walked along, looking at the documents as he went, until he arrived outside the Onibas Grand Theater.
Although he had tried his best to expedite the process, the performance had already started and the theater doors were closed.
"There aren't even standing tickets left?!"
At the ticket counter, Moen opened his mouth, his expression utterly speechless.
With the theater festival so popular, Moen figured that tickets for the theater would sell out easily.
But it's selling way too well! It's completely packed, there's not even room to stand, and now they're not letting anyone in.
Tickets cannot be bought on behalf of others, and Grandpa Makarov and the others cannot buy them for him in advance.
There was nothing he could do but wait outside the door. He wasn't disappointed, as he hadn't been particularly interested in the play anyway.
Instead of wasting time on this, why not look at the information here? Moen is already itching to kill "Death" Eric.
Unfortunately, the Magic Council had very little information. All they knew was that the "Grim Reaper" Erigor used a scythe as a weapon, employed wind magic, and was extremely lethal. He was always carrying out assassination missions, leaving the scenes very bloody.
"Is it because they only accept assassination missions and use a scythe as their weapon that they're called the Grim Reaper?"
Moen made a deduction, which he felt was pretty accurate: nicknames are a rather simple and straightforward thing, and they are often highly related to a person's magic, appearance, and so on.
For example, Natsu's "Fire Dragon" and Erigor's "Death God" are quite fitting.
Moen waited outside the Onibas Grand Theatre until evening when the theatre doors finally opened.
The spectators left satisfied, their expressions showing they were all happy. The quality of the play was clearly acceptable, satisfying most of them.
"here!"
Moen spotted Mystergang in the crowd and waved to him, but he only saw Mystergang.
That's normal. Given Makarov's and Wendy's height, he definitely wouldn't be able to see them unless he flew.
A short while later, the four of them reunited. Makarov and the other two looked very happy, clearly indicating that they had also had a good experience.
"Is everything done?"
Makarov looked at Moen and asked with concern.
"Okay, everything's done. We can go home now."
Moen nodded and answered with a smile.
"What a pity, I missed going to the theater."
Makarov sighed, regretting that Moen had missed the theater performance; this wonderful show was definitely worth the ticket price.
"There's nothing to regret. I wasn't idle outside either. I captured a few guys from the dark guilds and made some extra money."
Moen blinked and spoke, his words surprising Makarov, who quickly asked with concern what was going on.
