Novel Full Chapter 538 New Quest

Rita’s praises seemed to work on the dwarves, as the second guard instantly spilled the beans without even thinking about it too deeply. I guess they are easy to charm.
“Ahem! Well, my miner friend’s named Kestrellius, by now he should be dining with his friends in the Tavern named “Golden Egg” where they serve the best eggs.” Said the dwarf. “Just tell him his good friend Nedrug brought you to him. As long as you pay him some beers and snacks, he’ll surely talk.”
“I see! Thanks a lot, Nedrug!” I smiled, quickly offering him a fruit pie that I took out of my inventory. “Here, this isn’t much, but it is a pie I’ve cooked using the fresh fruits of the forest.”
“Ooh, smells nice, and it still warm! Thanks a lot lady! This is actually much better than just some penny.”
“Nice! We’ll have this for dinner then, will go well with cider! Gyahaha!”
As the two dwarves celebrated, we finally made our way into town, and as I thought, a chained quest instantly began.
Ding!
[A New [Chain Quest] has been generated]: [Find Kestrellius and learn about what he saw!]
[After having a brief talk with the two guards outside of the Dwarven City, you find out a friend of the guard named Nedrug was part of the Mining Squad that discovered the “Dragon Nest” Area and saw something “with black scales” within its depths. Now, you have the chance to find out what exactly that was, and if this rumor is real or not… Remember, Kestrellius will be much easier to talk if you offer a drink and some snacks!]
[Quest Rewards]: [EXP] [Gold] [Progressive Chain Quests]
[Time Limit]: [6 Hours]
“We got it!” I said, everyone celebrated as a new quest popped up in front of us.
“Oooh, so this is how you usually get quests?!” Jenny was surprised. “It is surprisingly easy, what the heck?!”
“Fufu, it was easy because we’ve convinced them with our womanly charms.” Said Rita with a seductress smile. “Nobody can say “no” to us when we’re shoving these big ones right in front of their faces, and dwarves probably got a really good view from below, hehe.” Rita started pointing at my breasts.
“H-Hey! Don’t talk like that! Geez.” I sighed, feeling a bit embarrassed. “You’re the one that did that, and I think we didn’t even need to… they were being nice.”
“Mostly because we were hotties though, hehehe.” Rita giggled.
“Yeah I noticed too~” Lily smiled. “They were even giving me glances, hehehe. Oh my, it made me feel younger again.”
“Geez! Not fair…” Jenny sighed, crossing her arms. “I didn’t get any pervy looks! Is it because I am a slime?”
“Ugh, it isn’t as if that’s a good thing though…” I sighed. “Well, whatever, let’s go meet his friend!”
“Yeah but where exactly is the Golden Egg Tavern at?” Mark wondered.
“Good question!” I nodded. “Open World Map.”
FLAAASH!
The World Map opened in the palm of my hands, as I quickly continued pressing the magnify button until we arrived in the interior of the city. All the important areas were given names, and the Golden Egg Tavern was one of the oldest and most popular ones, it was at the west corner of the city, near the entrance to the Mines.
Using the map, we guided ourselves across the beautiful city. Looking around the infrastructure surprised us; it looked like something straight out of a steampunk fantasy city. We even saw Dwarves riding giant golems, and the city was filled with gigantic workshops with dozens of dwarves working and crafting, they were a race that loved creating things.
We went through the market while we were at it, and decided to purchase a variety of ores. Haggling wasn’t my specialty, but Rita did an amazing job at helping us get a lot of discounts. We purchased a variety of ores from Steels, Silvers, and even some Golds, all of them with different colors, imbued with elements.
There were also some shops selling large metallic spheres with crystals inside named “Golem Cores” that the Dwarves used to reanimate their powerful metallic golems. I ended purchasing a few of them to try out later and make my own Golems.
“Here we are, the Golden Egg.” Said Rita. “Let’s get in then! Don’t chicken out now, there’s tons of people inside!”
“O-Okay, let’s go then!” I nodded.
As we stepped inside, we saw dozens of dwarves and a few other species, such as humans and gnomes drinking, talking, and more. However, the moment I stepped inside with Rita and Lily by my side, the majority of stares were directed at us in a single second… Even the female dwarves were looking aggressively.
“H-Hello! H-Hahaha…” I said nervously. “W-We’re looking for someone named Kestrellius, is he around here?”
“Kestrellius, that bastard?”
“Oi where did he go again?”
“How come he knows these hotties?! Not fair!”
“Hey, I’m Kestrellius.” A dwarf with a red beard showed up, raising his arm. .
“Oh!” We swiftly walked to his side and sat down around the table where he was having a small meal, just a sandwich with cheese and a cup of beer he had already almost finished.
“I’ve never meet you in my whole life, how come you know my name?” He crossed his muscular arms and looked at us. “Okay I have to admit you ladies are beautiful but honestly you’re all over the place! An Ent, a Dark Elf, a Slime, a Brownie, a Fairy, a… giant squirrel? Are you some sort of freak show?”
“I’m a Squirrel-kin!” Acorn said angrily. “Don’t call me a mere squirrel!”
“Milady, maybe we should freeze him a bit so he knows his place.” Nieve said angrily.
“C-Calm down you two!” I sighed. “Anyways, here.”
I quickly placed several bottles of beer I had bought previously, some pieces of fruit pie, freshly baked bread, goat cheese, and butter. Kestrellius immediately started drooling.
“Your friend Nedrug sent us to you, he said you know something about the “Ancient Unsealed Evil” that awakened when you discovered the Dragon Nest.” I said with a smile, offering the goods.
“Oooh! So you know my ol’ friend Nedrug! You should had said so sooner! Hahahaha!” Kestrellius laughed. It was quite clear how fast he changed his attitude towards us.
