Chapter 736 - Tempting Mission
Soon, a halographic screen appeared in front of Ajax with the complete mission details.
'Ding,
Mission name:- Explore natural weapon cave.
Condition:- The host needs to reach grade 3 weapon dao for the battle axe.
Reward:- Chance to form an extra additional contract with the general realm slot.
Danger rating:- A
'What the...'
Ajax, who was thinking to reject the mission, was shocked to see the reward.
'I am going to complete this mission at any cost,'
He didn't even bother to check the mission name or what he had to do to complete the mission; however, after checking out the reward, Ajax was adamant about completing the mission.
'Oh. So, it is to explore the cave and learn a new weapon before increasing it to grade 3….Nice,'
After checking out the reward, Ajax read about the mission and without any hesitation, he chose to complete the mission.
'As long as I successfully complete this mission with a good clearance rating, then I will get three benefits which will help me further,'
As soon as came to a conclusion, he informed the guild master, "Guild master, I will enter the battle-ax weapon cave."
As for the three benefits, they were:-
1) He will learn a new weapon dao which increases another trump card under his sleeves.
2) He will get an additional official elemental spirit which means he would get an additional official skill.
3) With a good clearance rating, he would get an energy orb which would help him break through to the general realm.
Moreover, he was waiting for some 'A' danger rating mission, and when the system sends those missions, why would he reject them?
"Are you sure about it?"
The guild master asked Ajax one more time regarding his selection.
"Yes, guild master,"
Ajax's face filled with confidence as he replied to the guild master, who didn't say anything after that.
Soon, the livid griffin flew from one cave to another while leaving behind one or two young cultivators there.
"Levi, are you sure about entering the battle-axe cave?"
Other than Ajax, Levi also chose the battle-axe weapon cave to gain the weapon dao into it.
So, Levi's master Seward asked him before jumping down from the livid griffin.
Since Levi was already so powerful, Seward and others felt that it is risky to enter the natural weapon cave because the difficulty in the cave depends on the cultivation of an individual.
If a high-level cultivator enters the natural weapon cave, he would be greatly suppressed because all the vagrant cultivators had experienced that feeling 20 years back.
"Yes, master. If I don't give it a try, I will regret my entire life over this. So, I hope you can understand it, master,"
Levi politely replied to his master and was convinced before he and Ajax jumped down.
As for the other natural cave, it was selected by Justice's brother Neil who has the lowest cultivation among all and it was suggested by his master, Elder Ramon.
Neil was still just a child and he didn't comprehend any type of weapon. So, according to Elder Ramon, it is a good opportunity for Neil to enter the natural cave.
Actually, almost everyone had already had a grade 1 or grade 2 weapon dao in the sword because it is most commonly used in the Zrochester province.
So, no one entered that cave except for Neil.
....
Inside a huge cave,
"Ajax, looks like, we have to comprehend the weapon dao from those markings,"
As soon as they entered the cave, Ajax and Levi noticed the weapon marks left by a battle axe.
Along with weapon marks, there were some drawings on the walls as though it was showing a battle-axe attack technique.
"Looks like it,"
Ajax already had some experience with the weapon dao learned by the weapon marks. So, he assumed the same.
"Senior brother Levi, there are some words at the bottom of the wall,"
Ajax and Levi hurriedly rushed towards there and started reading those lines.
Those were written in a commonly used language and they were easily able to read them and understood what they had to do.
"Maybe, it was written by the vagrant cultivators,"
Ajax said to Levi and without waiting for Levi's answer, he looked for something in a cave.
"Senior brother Levi, I found them,"
Soon, he went to one corner of the cave and removed the dried grass before taking out two wooden battle-axes.
"Good...let's start then,"
They already knew what to do and Levi took one battle axe from Ajax's hands and started following the movements from the drawings on the wall.
Similarly, Ajax also started swinging the movements.
...….
Different weapon caves have different patterns to follow to gain comprehension into the weapon dao and in each weapon dao, there was a clear record of what to do.
Since it was just training and not a trial, the vagrant cultivators made things easy for their disciples. So that they could gain comprehension of the weapon dao as soon as possible.
"As long as they gain a grade 3 weapon dao, they would be on equal terms even with a level 1 elite general realm cultivators,"
"Yes,"
"By the way, Esmund, did you bring the peak heaven grade weapons from your collections?"
"Yes, guild master,"
"Good...as long as they finish their special training and reach the grade 3 weapon dao, then we will allow them to pick their weapons,"
The guild master and Esmund talked about the weapons to give their personal disciples after the special training is finished.
All the participants from the top powers will have good weapons in the champions contest. So how could they allow their personal disciple to not have any good weapons?
"One more thing, before I dropped Ajax at the weapon cave, he said that he will exchange some good pills which have the same effects as the monster peach. So, I ask everyone to bring out all the good things you have hidden for the exchange,"
'What'
All of a sudden, the guild master's words caused a small commotion among the vagrant cultivators. Nevertheless, they were ready to exchange those pills.
"Sure….."
The guild master didn't wait for them to complete their lines and said, "He said that he only has limited pills on him. So, depending on the number of pills, let's take a lucky draw. What do you say?'
It is very difficult to give limited resources to everyone. And moreover, the guild master didn't want any internal fighting after they exchanged the pills from Ajax. So, he was making everything clear before they could even start the exchange.
"Why don't we bid for those pills?"
All of a sudden, Elder Ramon gave his thoughts on the matter.
Elder Ramon doesn't like to give those lucky draws as he always believed that he had to work hard to get what he wanted.
Moreover, he was too confident in getting at least two pills with the number of resources he had hidden from the eyes of his friends.
"Yes, let's bid for those pills,"
Hearing that, everyone's eyes sparkled with excitement, and hurriedly nodded their heads.
'Why am I having a bad feeling about this?'
Elder Ramon felt something was not right with his friends.
