Chapitre 138: Sudden Change
It didn't take long for Adam and Thalia to reach the teleportation array. Once there, Adam sent a look at Thalia, who understood his meaning and said "The Demon Cult's HQ is in a dangerous place, and it is quite hard to get there. We will have to walk a lot to get there."
Adam nodded without a word, clearly not minding this, so Thalia continued "Their base is near the source of the Kloss Canal, between Alorge and Blackheart Mountain."
Adam frowned and said "We can't go to Blackheart, so should we teleport to Alorge first and go east?"
Thalia shook her head and said "While this would be the safest route, it is too dangerous. There are a few powers too strong for us… The best itinerary would be to sail on Kloss Canal. It will take us a long time, but it will be relatively safe."
She added "So if we want to take the Kloss Canal we either go to Cassifon and go through the Great Swamp, or we walk through the Mirage Desert. If we decide to go through the Mirage Desert we should be relatively safe considering your strength, but we will need at least a couple of weeks of travel since we will have to sail the Kloss Canal from one end to another."
Adam asked "What about Cassifon then?" This time Adam didn't have to worry about the restrictions due to his race. The teleportation between a member of the Light Faction and a member of the Dark Faction was regulated and needed a special badge, but since they were in Yam the could teleport to Cassifon while keeping their identity hidden. However, if they wanted to teleport to Aldeneid or Coldlands, they would need a special badge or show their faces.
Thalia contemplated his question for a moment before saying "Going to Cassifon would make the travel faster, we should be able to go through the Great Swamp in about four days, and we would then need three other days of sailing to reach the Demon's Cult HQ… All in all, that's one week of travel, or half the time required if we want to use the Mirage Desert. But it will be much more dangerous this way."
Adam asked "So we have to choose between a long but safe itinerary, and a shorter but more dangerous one. Do you have an opinion?"
Thalia said "Well, I came with you to live an adventure, so I feel like going to Cassifon would be funnier." Adam smiled and said "Good, this should be interesting, I never visited a swamp."
Like that, the two of them decided to take the teleportation array to the capital of Cassifon, Kusak. And as they waited for the array to be ready, Adam thought about his armor. He didn't expect collecting the materials would take him so long.
If just gathering one of the three materials took him a week, then by the time he gathered every material and got his armor, he would be approaching Level 50, if not having already reached it.
By then, getting a Level 50 armor would be a bit of a waste, since he would already be able to use Level 60 equipment thanks to his [Godslayer's Heart]. After thinking about it, Adam decided to contact Morbash, and asked him if he could create a Level 60 Unique armor with the materials he asked.
It didn't take long for Morbash to reply 'I think you should get a Level 50 Armor to help you in your Promotion Quest, the Promotion Quests for Sovereigns are said to be incredibly hard you know…'
But Adam pressed on 'Don't worry, I know what I am doing. So, can I change the order?'
After a few seconds Morbash said 'It shouldn't be much of a problem for me to make the armor, but I will have to change the materials a bit. Actually, it's just the main material, the Water Dragon Scales. Instead of 50 Water Dragon Scales, I would need you to bring back 50 Water Dragon Reverse Scales.'
Adam was relieved, if it was only that. This meant he wouldn't have to bring more materials. He asked 'Are you sure there is only that?'
'ONLY THAT?! Do you even know what you are saying?' Adam was surprised by the Orc's outburst, what did he say?
Morbash said 'Those are Reverse Scales, every dragon only has a single one. This means you will go from killing one dragon to killing 50 dragons. If you only killed a single dragon, maybe the Dragon Clan would forgive you because of your identity, but to kill 50 of them… They will hunt you down for sure.'
Adam's face turned a little dark, that would be a problem. But after a moment, his face returned to its calmness. If he ever wanted that Divine Armor he would have to kill their king, so he was fated to be enemy with them anyway.
He said 'It's alright, I will handle it. Anything else?'
Morbash said 'One last thing. I won't be able to give this equipment the 50% boost I could give to the previous version, because it would need to be Level 100.'
Adam nodded to himself and said 'It won't be a problem, a Unique Set is better than a half step Unique Set anyway. Thanks for the trouble.'
As he closed the message window, a notification appeared before him.

What? No… What? What? Hey…
'WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON SYSTEM!!!'
Adam's mind was in turmoil, what did he just read? SSS Quest, Promotion Quest, World Quest. Anyone of those terms would turn a mission into something incredibly hard, and push anyone to despair. HE HAD THREE OF THEM!
The most worrying of the three was the World Quest, back when he started the game, just a player having failed a Village Quest had created an event that could have potentially wiped out an entire kingdom, so what about this quest? From his understanding of those quests, be it a success or a failure, the impact on the world would be as devastating.
Although he asked the system what was going on, he didn't expect any answer. But as he was processing the information, he heard a familiar voice say "Adam Collins, you never fail to meet my expectations."
Adam's eyes widened as he heard the voice, but something even more shocking happened. The world around him suddenly stopped. The ever present buzz of the capital disappeared in an instant, and everyone around him stopped moving. As if time froze…
Slowly turning around, Adam spotted a familiar figure. A woman dressed in a blue and green dress was standing behind him. This was obviously the CEO of Gaya INC, Sofia Davis.
