Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 401 - 394: Discussion With Mathias



Alex followed Mathias to another room; this room was more prominent, having enough free space for Alex to bring out all the Aurora grass powder he brought.

Then, Alex started taking out the wooden crates, packed with bottles of Aurora grass powder, one by one. Alex also took out potions for recovering magic power, potions to heal injuries, and other materials used to produce medicine for Magic Fever.

''I'm grateful that the Aurora grass powder is separated into individual portions. Although the recipe to produce the medicine to guarantee recovery is almost unchanged, it can't be made in large quantities at the same time because of the magic power that has to be added when making it. Because of that, it's usually made by a group of several people. No, as expected of Celesta.'' Mathias nodded in admiration while thinking he and Ludic owed Celesta yet another favor.

Hearing that explanation, Alexa realized why the Aurora grass powder was divided into small portions.  

After checking the Aurora grass powder and other materials to produce the cure for the Magic fever, Mathias had them send over to be immediately used; he then asked Alex to follow him. 

While thinking that with Alex's strength, especially his hidden strength, they might be able to find something, Mathias walked behind the counter. 

After giving a small sight, Alex followed after him.

''Now then, I think you have a general idea of why we've come to this room.''

Like the guild master's office in the Blue Ivy guild branch, Mathias's office was located at the top of the stairs behind the guild counter. 

Alex sat down on the sofa for guests as he spoke.

''Yes, I do. You want me to investigate the situation in the Forest of Monsters, but first, I would like to ask, can I consider that you bringing this matter mean it's a request?" 

''Yes. Naturally, you can consider this a request.'' Mathias responded calmly as he could.

Alex smiled. ''What about the reward? It's a request that may save the city from a crisis. I suppose I would get a corresponding reward?''

As an adventurer, it was only natural that Alex asked that question. Mathias, the guild master of Xeeno's city adventurer guild branch, nodded in response.

''Of course. Adventurers are rewarded for taking on requests. But as you can see, the city is currently in a state of emergency. Even if the cause of the Magic Fever is found, there won't be much money as we're currently in a state of shortage. With that in mind, something other than money. is that okay?''

Mathias asked as he looked at Alex, but Alex nodded without hesitation after a few seconds. 

''I want that magic pouch on your waist; I know you have another one; I want that one as a reward for completing this request,'' Alex said with a smile.

Mathias didn't show any signs of being surprised by Alex's demand; on the contrary, he would have been disappointed if Alex didn't take the bet; magic pouches are similar to Space ring; they're mean to transport things, if you wondered why Mathias hadn't used this to send someone acquires a lot of Aurora grass powder, it was simply because the Magic fever happened less than two days ago, and the time needed to travel back and forth he 14 days, the damage the magic fever had done in just two was just so heavy that surviving 14 days would have been impossible, so they decided to contact the other side to reduce the number of days needed. 

''Okay, I understand; I shall accept your condition.'' Mathias accepted without hesitation. 

The reason Alex chose this instead of monetary reward was simple; it is for his men. 

''Can you tell what happened before the Magic fever even began?" Alex decided to move on to the next topic, gain information; he must understand what happened; although he had a general idea of the cause, he still needed confirmation. 

Taking a deep breath, Mathias tried to explain what exactly happened; it happened at that moment.

''So, here you are?" 

A somewhat exasperated voice echoed into the office. Turning in the direction of the voice, Alex saw a man in his Sixties. Although he was past his prime, he probably didn't slack in his training as he had a well-built body. 

'This man must be the city lord.' Alex speculated, and his speculation was correct. 

''Ludic, you're late and still rude as always. How many times have I said to you to always knock before barging in?" Mathias said, annoyed. 

''Fret not, my friend. I was busy taking care of things after you sent the Aurora grass powder. I have to give various instructions. I managed to finish all that somehow.''

Ludic gave a big sigh after he spoke to that point. It wasn't easy. There was finally a way to deal with the Magic Fever spreading through Xeeno. He had come to the guild to discuss what to do next and see the man who brought the Aurora grass powder.

''You must be the man that brought the Aurora grass powder?'' Looking at Alex, Ludic hid his shock and asked, although he was a swordsman, he had a Gift and possessed keen eyes, he was able to detect Alex's mana.

''Yes, it's me; I'm Sam, a C Rank adventurer.'' Alex introduced himself.

''This is Ludic, the acting lord of this city. He's also a friend of Celesta, Blue Ivy's guild master, and we're in the same party.'' Mathias explained what kind of relationship the three had. 

Ludic, the city lord, smiled and said while facing Alex. ''I am truly grateful. Many of the residents who have fallen ill with Magic Fever can be saved with this. Although everyone can't survive, fewer people will die than was previously estimated. No, thank you very much for coming here.''

Ludic expressed his gratitude while striking Alex's shoulder heavily.

Alex smiled; although the man's gratitude was a bit heavy, he didn't escape; he looked at Mathias and asked. 

''Guild master, can you continue with your previous explanation?" 

Mathias nodded and started to recount what happened.
