Chapter 21: Bandit Camp Destruction Mission!

Dungeon, First Floor, Atlantis City.

"I remember" Rayleigh sighed as he walked leisurely towards the direction of the location of the person who issued the mission to be carried out by him, "It should be before leaving, I asked Ars how to go to the sky island. Forget it, I can try to ask my clients directly. I believe he will know it"

It didn't take long for Rayleigh to arrive at the location.

"Sarasa Alchemist Shop?" Rayleigh muttered softly as he looked towards the front of the store where none of the items were displayed as a promotion of the products sold by the store, "Hmm, there are no items in the form of promotions? Is this the right place?" Rayleigh asked strangely while looking at the direction of the mission panel and also the arrows that went straight to this place.

"Is it possible that the owner of this place has just opened a business?"

Rayleigh then stepped straight to the front of the entrance and then opened it.

*Ring!*

Coinciding with Rayleigh opening the entrance to the store, the bell displayed above the door rang, and instantly Rayleigh looked at a teenage woman who was inside the store where she was currently cleaning the inside of the store.

The woman was about 160 to 165 centimeters tall, had bob-cut bright brown hair, and wore a hairband on the left side of her head. The woman has fair skin as well as a sweet face.

This rayleigh's arrival immediately stopped the activities carried out by the woman and immediately asked, "Welcome to the Sarasa Alchemist Shop. I'm sorry sir, at this time our store has not opened and it is likely that it will only open in the next few days" The woman quickly immediately informed the conditions experienced at this time with shame and also an apologetic tone.

"It turns out that my guess is correct," Rayleigh thought, "I came here not to buy Elixir. Silver Rayleigh. I'm an adventurer. I came here because I want to confirm the mission issued by you"

"Great! So you're the adventurer who accepted the mission" The woman said excitedly at the time of knowing the person in front of her was the one who was going to carry out the mission issued by her immediately walked up to Rayleigh, "My name is Sarasa. I am the owner of this place as well as the Alchemist in charge of this place. Well, Mr. Rayleigh, you can already carry out the mission."

[The mission of collecting 100 units of Grisal Plants has been confirmed by Sarasa. Please complete the mission immediately before it is due]

"Ano, Mr. Rayleigh..."

This voice from Sarasa immediately attracted the attention of Rayleigh who had just transformed his mission panel.

"I'm sorry in advance. Regarding that mission issue by me. I was a little wrong when it came to putting down the tempo time of the mission" Sarasa's face was more flushed and embarrassed, "Actually, I have a desire to time that mission for one day. However, due to carelessness, I did not have time to set the timing of the mission to the desired time. At this time, I just opened my store and needed ingredients to make the store's products immediately. I'm sorry to go back. However, if it pleases. Will Mr. Rayleigh be able to help me to collect the materials requested today?"

Sarasa's head lowered embarrassedly while playing with her hands with her fingers, "... Naturally if Mr. Rayleigh has other missions to complete..."

"Hahaha, it's an easy thing to do" Rayleigh immediately laughed listening to the request from Sarasa, "I'll do it"

"Really?" Sarasa directly raised her head back with trembling eyes.

"Yes. After all, at this time I have already completed the mission that should be done by me and at this time it is also only this mission that must be completed by me" Rayleigh said calmly.

"Great! Thank you very much, Mr. Rayleigh" Sarasa said with excitement and also joy.

"No need to thank you, it's already my duty," Rayleigh said, "By the way, Miss Sarasa. Am I allowed to see the shape of the Grisal plant? Besides, where is the location where these plants are found the most?"

"Has Mr. Rayleigh never carried out a mission like this?" Sarasa asked in confusion.

"This is my first time on this mission" Rayleigh confirmed.

"I see" Sarasa nodded and said, "Wait a minute. I'm going in to get my book and show you the shape of the Grisal plant."

Sarasa quickly ran straight towards the back room.

While on the other side.

Dungeon, 1st Floor, Atlantis City, Atlantis City Knight Fortress.

"Stop!"

A knight who was currently on duty together with his companion to guard the entrance of the fortress directly stopped Hancock and his two sisters who wanted to go inside.

"This place is the Fortress of the Atlantis City Army! Anyone who has no important purpose is not allowed to come here! Please state your purpose here and if not please leave here!" The knight said very seriously.

Hancock looked seriously at the knight and also through his Haki Observation. Hancock felt that the level of strength of the knight in front of him was very strong. This assessment made by Hancock is not derived from the level of power possessed by her at this time but is based on the level of power of the outside world. Hancock also felt that the power of the knight in front of her at this time was several times more terrifying than Rayleigh's strength.

"We came here wanting to confirm the tasks issued by this place" Before Hancock made trouble, Sandersonia quickly directly explained the purpose of their coming to this place.

Sandersonia has also felt the level of strength of the knight in front of him. Sandersonia was afraid that Hancock would make trouble and that caused them to get all sorts of unwanted things. They had also previously been told by Shakky not to make trouble in the dungeon, especially in the safe zone. However, Sandersonia couldn't guarantee Hancock would follow suit. Therefore, she quickly responded immediately.

"Task? Are you guys adventurous?"

"Hmph! Of course" Hancock said in a tone of pride.

"Then please show evidence that you are an adventurer?" The knight said seriously.

"Evidence? How do we prove it?" Marigold asked, frowning.

"Please show me the status panel you guys have. The status panel is proof that you are an adventurer"

Hancock and her two sisters immediately opened their status panels and showed them to the knight.

"Good. You guys are right to be an adventurer" The knight nodded after looking at the status panel and he could also tell whether or not it was fake, "Before that, what mission do you want to perform?"

The knight's previously serious tone instantly changed to become more friendly.

"Why should we say those things to you?" Hancock asked, frowning.

"Big Sister" Sandersonia and Marigold heard the tone used by Hancock and instantly became worried.

"I will later take you to the person in charge related to the mission you are going to perform" The knight also replied immediately.

"Responsible?" Hancock asked back, "Does that mean that every mission issued by your side is different from the person who holds the responsibility?"

"Sure" The knight nodded, "The more difficult the mission to be carried out. Then the person in charge of the mission will have a higher position"

"What about the mission to destroy the Bandit Camp in the south? Who will be in charge of the mission?" Hancock asked again.

"The destruction of the Bandit Camp in the southern region? That is a mission that is currently the responsibility of Commander Suzaku." The knight paused and continued, "Is that the mission that you will confirm with us?"

"Yes. That was our mission" Sandersonia immediately retorted quickly.

"I see" The knight nodded and immediately said, "Please come with me. I will take you to meet with Commander Suzaku to confirm the mission you are going to carry out."

"Good! Now lead the way" Hancock said with great pride which made Sandersonia and Marigold sweat coldly afraid that the knight would have a grudge against them because of the attitude possessed by Hancock.

1st floor, Atlantis City, Sarasa Alchemist Shop.

"Mr. Rayleigh, this is the shape of the Grisal plant"

Sarasa had finally returned with a fairly thick book and immediately showed Rayleigh a picture of the Grisal plant where the plant was the main object of the mission to be carried out by Rayleigh at this time.

Grisal plant is a small-sized plant with many stakes on the stem. This plant has leaves that have a lot of chlorophyll with a combination of golden stripes on the leaves. Grisal plant can be said to be quite a beautiful plant to look at.

"Grisal plant is a plant that has a content on the inside where the content must be extracted to be used. The bladder in the Grisal plant is very suitable to be used as the main ingredient to make Elixir and currently, I only need to collect this material to be able to make a physical healing Elixir" Sarasa immediately gave a brief introduction to the plant, "This plant is a plant that can grow anywhere. They are very easy to find. However, if Mr. Rayleigh wants to be able to collect it quickly. Mr. Rayleigh can go to this Sky Island in the southern area of Atlantis City"

"Sky island?" Rayleigh's interest was immediately raised at this point.

"There is an island in the sky that will be discovered the first time by the time Mr. Rayleigh goes there. The sky island is a flower garden and there are many Grisal plants. There Mr. Rayleigh was able to collect these plants very quickly"

"By the way, Miss Sarasa. How can someone climb to the top of the sky island?" Rayleigh asked curiously.

"The way to ascend to the sky island is quite easy. Near the sky island or more precisely the lower mainland which is close to the sky island, there is a portal where the portal will be directly connected to the portal on the sky island. Mr. Rayleigh if you want to go up to the sky island, you can use the portal" Sarasa said calmly and immediately continued, "However, Mr. Rayleigh is also careful in the selection of portals"

"Why?"

"The portal is divided into two. There are portals in blue and there are portals in red. A blue portal is a portal that leads to a location where there are no monsters at all. While the red portal is a portal that will direct a person to a location full of monsters" Sarasa paused and continued, "However, sometimes in some cases, there will be an incident where the blue portal also leads to a location full of monsters. Usually, the portal is a portal installed by monsters or other things to mislead adventurers."

"There is also such a mechanism here? This place is getting more and more interesting than before" Rayleigh thought with no sense of excitement.

"Thank you for the reminder, Miss Sarasa. This information is enough to help me. In that case, it's time for me to carry out this mission"

"Mr. Rayleigh. Please be careful. There are many erratic factors in the monster area. It could be that Mr. Rayleigh encountered a very scary monster there"

"Hahaha, if that's the case, it's an interesting thing. Not to worry. I am stronger than you anticipated"

Rayleigh immediately stepped out of the store and immediately carried out the mission that had been received by him.

1st floor, Atlantis City, Atlantis City Knight Fortress, 1st Battalion Commander's Office.

Battalion 1 is a special knight army tasked with guarding the territory of Atlantis City in the southern region. This army is led by a Knight Commander named Commander Suzaku.

Commander Suzaku is a young man who is still 27 years old. Commander Suzaku has a disheveled brown hair appearance, a slender but full body, bright skin, and a calm face, and also does not seem fierce like other Commanders.

Suzaku is currently inside his office conducting a review of the documents that have just come to him.

*Tok* *Tok* *Tok*

Suzaku instantly directly stopped the work done by him at this time and immediately stared towards the front, "Please come in"

*Krack*

The door of the room opened and revealed the knight and also Hancock along with others going inside.

By the time Hancock and his two sisters went inside. Their gazes immediately fell on Suzaku with a serious feelings. The three of them through his Haki Observation felt an extremely terrifying power was in Suzaku even that power exceeded that of the knight who carried them. Even the distinction between their strengths is very far away.

"Report! Commander Suzaku! The adventurers who are going to carry out the mission of conducting the bandit hunt have come and at this time want to ask you for confirmation regarding the mission they are going to carry out" The knight said respectfully.

Suzaku heard this instantly lit his eyes full of excitement.

"Good job!" Suzaku nodded and said, "Go back and continue the task you have"

"Ok!"

The knight immediately gave a salute and immediately turned away to leave the room. Currently the room there is only Hancock, Solome, his two sisters as well as Suzaku.

"I am Suzaku Kururugi. I am the Commander of the 1st Battalion. Thank you for taking the mission" Suzaku immediately opened the conversation kindly, "In the current period, the citizens have always complained to us about bandits who always rob the things they have, especially in my territory. Almost every time some citizens bring caravans through the southern region, they will be robbed by these bandits. I am very happy to know that you guys are going to take this mission"

Suzaku paused and continued, "The mission you are going to do is to carry out the destruction of this bandit camp that exists in this kilometer of the southern area outside Atlantis city. The number of bandits there according to reports is 10 people and all of them have quite good skills and fighting things. Meanwhile, the leader of the bandits is a pretty good axe user. This information submitted by me is the information we got a few days ago and there will likely be changes through the numbers and others. Therefore, please be careful in carrying out this mission"

"Only human beings are disgusting. Surely those bandits are also just like disgusting men who only think about their egos. I am enough to defeat her" Hancock said with the pride of a queen.

"It's good to have confidence in the power you have. However, you also have to be careful. The monster territory is a territory that has a lot of various instability factors. It could be that when you fight later, there will be other factors that interfere, such as a large number of monsters invading the area. It will only make the mission you are carrying out more difficult than before."

"Hmph!" Hancock decided coldly and didn't listen to the words of the Suzaku.

Meanwhile, Sandersonia and Marigold, who saw Hancock's personality that began to blossom, were immediately worried. However, they are also unlikely to interfere in the conversation because they feel they cannot enter the conversation.

"I think you guys can't wait to carry out that mission," Suzaku said, "I have confirmed related to the mission you are doing. You can already go to carry out the mission."

Instantly in front of Hancock and his two sisters the mission confirmation panel instantly appeared.

[The mission of destroying the bandit camp located 3 kilometers south of the outer region of Atlantis City has been confirmed by Commander Suzaku. Please complete the mission immediately before the due date]

"Just wait here and sit down quietly. Those disgusting bandits will be destroyed by me" Hancock immediately turned and walked out of the room.

"Commander Suzaku" Sandersonia immediately came forward and said apologetically: "Please forgive the rude attitude that my Elder Sister has. She didn't mean it that way"

"Ah, don't worry" Suzaku smiled, "I don't feel offended by his attitude. However, please inform her. Keep her attitude if she meets the other Battalion Commanders. Because it's different from me who doesn't care about the attitude directed at me as long as it doesn't bring bad things to me. The other Commanders have high self-esteem. I'm afraid, if your Elder Sister shows this attitude, she will have consequences. Maybe not only her, but you guys will also be hit"

"Consort?" Marigold asked in confusion.

"Like being killed directly by those commanders or maybe you will get a refusal to carry out the mission. If you have received a mission refusal, you will not be able to get a mission confirmation from the commander. That is, you do not have access to missions where the mission is under the authority of the commander" Suzaku paused and continued, "Usually the missions with the highest rewards are missions issued by the Kingdom or our party. It would be bad for you guys if at some point offended a commander and consequently killed or got a mission denial from her"

Sandersonia and Marigold who heard this were shocked by the information. They both looked at each other and then nodded. They will not let Hancock show the attitude she has before to the people who influence this dungeon.

"Thank you for the information, Commander Suzaku" Sandersonia immediately replied to her, "We will remind and tell this to my Elder Sister"

"Good action" Suzaku nodded, "I think you guys can already go. Because maybe your senior sister is currently waiting outside or has gone to the location first."

Sandersonia and Marigold nodded and immediately exited the room chasing Hancock where he had begun walking towards the location where the mission was carried out.
