Weed had suspected something from the beginning. His observant eyes sensed there would be a great opportunity from this shabby old man. He was Ghandilva, the head of Baran Village who was in a dilemma. The village where he lived was a fertile village and the most prosperous place in the southern province of Rosenheim kingdom.
There are houses of 500 heads of families, now the village is not as calm as before since it was attacked by monsters. Villagers spread out, some escape or are caught by monsters.
But that wasn't Weed's main goal, "I wanted to hear the story of where these seeds came from."
New hope re-emerged in the eyes of Ghandilva who had previously been desperate. "W-will you help us if I tell you what I know?"
"Even if the village chief doesn't tell me, I will still help the villagers. When innocent people are kidnapped by evil monsters, how can our fellow humans ignore that?"
"Oh!" Ghandilva felt like shouting in excitement. Of the many people who refused his request, it turns out there are still people as good as this who even offered to help sincerely.
"Commander Darius refused my request, for all I could give was this seed." Ghandilva showed me a seed from his hand.
Weed answered as gently as possible, "Goodness, who would ignore someone else in distress? You cruel human being."
The eyes of the village chief glazed over, undeniably his fragile heart felt touched, "I really did not expect that this world still had such a kind person. Thank you young man."
Weed's eyes glanced at Ghandilva's hand. "By the way, how's the story about these seeds?"
"Oh, this? I don't even know where this plant came from."
Weed's forehead frowned in a suspicious start, "The village chief doesn't even know where these seeds come from?"
"really. Because these seeds have been passed downhill in my family. This is a valuable legacy. Early ancestors gave wills to keep it well, because these seeds have values that cannot be measured. They entrusted us to make this seed in return only for a great favor or a true knight."
Weed nodded small, "I understand."
For Weed, everything was now clear, like a puzzle that had been answered. However, his heart was still not completely convinced. 'Is it true that these seeds will show the way to the City of Heaven, or just ordinary plant seeds?'
The village chief looked at Weed with high hopes, "Will you help the villagers?"
Ding!
Special Quest of Baran Village!
Baran is a fertile and prosperous village. But one day the southern border of the kingdom is attacked by evil monsters. When monsters attack the village, the village chief Ghandilva does not have enough time to save all the inhabitants.
He fled with the children. While the adults decided to survive in the village to buy time. Evil monsters capture the rebellious adult population and instead of killing them, the monsters enslave the inhabitants of their base on the West Mountain.
Save parents from children. If time ran out, the monsters would kill all the inhabitants without any residue.
Difficulty level: D
Gift: A nameless seed
Number of prisoners: 55
Weed did have an A-level quest from Zahab, but his ability is now very far to complete a quest of that level. And the bad news was that the quest was in the forbidden zone. While the quest of the village head Baran is still quite low, equivalent to the expeditionary quest, but more difficult.
Weed's expression sharpened, "Old man." he muttered small. His memory of his parents was only until he was 8 years old. It is also only a memory of the worst times in his life, which is when loan sharks who continue to disturb him. 'That is the only legacy they have given me.'
Even so, Weed still missed his father and mother. He was even willing to pay whatever the cost was if their lives could be exchanged for money.
Ghandilva grew increasingly anxious to see her pensive would-be helper, "Are you not satisfied with the reward?"
"..."
"When our village recovers, we will repay this debt to you, young man."
"No need. It's more than I could have expected. I'll finish this quest as soon as possible."
You have received the quest!
"thank you. As a clue, the monsters settled in the West Mountain. I'll wait for good news from you." Ghandilva was instantly relieved, as if all his weight had been lifted.
Weed's team members immediately swarmed over him, "Weed, what are you doing?"
"Did you accept the quest?"
Pale and Surka looked at Weed in disbelief. Because they want to receive a new quest that only rewards a plant seed.
Weed looked at everyone firmly, "Don't ask too many questions, quickly accept the quest I got."
Weed was the real team leader. At Weed's insistence, Surka believed that there must be a compelling reason for Weed to do such a pointless thing. He walked towards Ghandilva to participate in the quest.
"I joined Weed."
"I also want to join the quest to save the residents."
"I am too."
"None with me."
Your party received a quest!
Even though all the members had already declared joining the quest Weed took, they still questioned the reason. After the head of the baran village left then they all questioned the thing that disturbed the mind.
Pale tilted his head to the side looking puzzled, "I don't understand the reason you gave up on the expedition quest, and instead took a small quest after the long journey we took for the expedition quest."
Weed's eyes glared deep into the heart of the forest, "I'm sure this quest will reward something very large. And even if I'm wrong, this quest is still better than taking part in the expedition quest."
"What do you mean?"
"Imagine if we fight monsters with that many troops. At our current level, we won't get enough experience and fame."
His group agreed with Weed, because the level they reached now was a long distance away from the level of Darius and his team. Initially they followed this quest to get a new quest after eradicating the monsters from Baran village. They did not expect much on the expedition quest led by Darius as they had already predicted this.
"Just calm down, my hunch suggests that we better switch to this quest." Weed reassured everyone on his team.
"However the difficulty level D. Don't you think that this is going to be too hard for the five of us to handle?" Surka grimacing.
Weed smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I have a plan."
"Alright Weed. We believe you." Pale patted his shoulder once.
After receiving the Ghandilva quest they broke away from the ranks.
Not long after that two people approached Weed's team. They were Becker and Dale, soldiers of the Rosenheim army.
"Commander! Where are you going?"
"We're about to start a battle against the monsters."
Weed replied solemnly, without covering anything up, "I and my team members are going to go to free the villagers, they are the fathers and mothers of the children who survived, now it's being held hostage in the monster's headquarters."
"It was a pretty tough quest!" Becker was shocked by Weed's reply. Dale too.
"Are the five of you able to complete this quest?" Dale muttered as he looked at everyone in front of him. Measuring the strength of every individual on Weed's team. He was convinced that they were weaker than him. Then he smiled slightly, patting his chest proudly, "Commander, we want to help you in this quest."
"Yes. The commander of the expedition team must have allowed us to join you when we explained the situation to him." Becker continued firmly.
This offer was of course due to the friendship that had been established between them. Otherwise, depending on the situation, there were also times when NPC soldiers would not obey orders even from the highest level players. Including the mass slaughter of innocent villagers. Because Charm does not apply to move soldiers unless supported by fame and high leadership.
After a moment of silence, Weed said softly, "I am very happy to receive your help, but for this one it is impossible. The kingdom is assigning you to rescue the Goods Village under Darius' command, right?"
"But-"
"The fewer people doing this quest, the better! I hope that you guys do your best for the expedition quest. How was the story when we managed to save the residents, while the village where they lived was gone."
Becker and Dale looked at each other, "Ahhh."
"Commander's right!"
It would actually be easier for Weed to save the sandra if assisted by 200 Resenheim soldiers, let alone those who were currently the army chief already experienced being his subordinates. His high leadership status would turn them into a great force. The thing is, Darius will definitely be conscious and curious.
Whereas if only Weed and his team members had broken away from the expedition, Darius would not have been harmed, it was unlikely that he would have even been aware of their departure given the large number of players who participated in this quest.
After parting ways with Dale and friends, Weed and his teammates headed to the mountain west of Baran Village, according to the instructions of the Village Chief. This mountain looks steep and gloomy. The fog thickened from the top of the waterfall all the way to the valley.
"Their territory starts here." Pale's golden shining eyes began to activate the vision skill and observation skill according to his profession. For the archer profession that skill was essential to intercept the enemy remotely and to analyze a territory as Pale did today.
"Yes, I think the monsters crossed the southern border and set up a base in the Western region." Weed's reply was brief. He is also researching the land. The valley looks wider and steeper than the other valleys. "Come on."
They alerted themselves to anticipate the sudden attack of the monsters. After walking for a while they finally found the 5 guardian monsters. The monster was similar to a green-skinned, green-climbed giant lizard and had human-like legs and hands. Levels around 60.
"Iww, serve." Romuna grimaced until her face shriveled.
Weed nodded in agreement with Romuna's opinion. Many monsters looked disgusting and horrible, but they never scared Weed. 'I'm quite doing the same thing as fighting goblins.'
The level of monsters here is 10 levels higher than goblins, but they are ordinary monsters, cannot be compared to dungeon monsters or monsters at night whose strength is 50% stronger. So when compared to the strength of these monsters comparable to the goblins.
Weed's eyes lit up, his body was already itching to immediately heat up his muscles that had been submerged for quite a while these few days due to dabbling in the world of chisel and cooking. A cold smile flashed across his eyes as he took out a sword. 'I can finally breathe again.'

Weed named each of his sword techniques, namely Triple, Backstab, Power Break, Sword Dance, and Sword Kaiser.
Now the amount of mana Weed reached 940 thanks to Emperor's Tablet. He could use the Triple Skill 3 times, Backstab 2 times, and Power Break once. While other techniques cannot be used now because mana is insufficient. It was normal for Weed to use all five of these sword techniques, but it was too risky for his life. 'I can't wait to hone my skills right away.'
Weed's spirit flared ferociously, as he had never hunted using an imperial formless sword technique since he learned it. Weed whispered to his teammate. "Quiet, during the day their strength is only half. And again, this disgusting lizard is a swamp specialist, not in a mountain valley. I'll be the front-runner."
Irene gawked, "Lizard?"
Romuna looked at Irene, "Obhorrent?"
"Isn't this a crocodile?"
"But, still, this is Weed's base, HEADQUARTERS!" Serobot Pale was terrified of Weed stepping without a plan.
"I know, and we can." Weed reassured his comrades.
"But-the difficulty level of this quest is D." Pale still did not accept Weed's proposal.
"Um-Tier D quests, at least about 800 monsters, right?" Weed looked at them Pale closely.
Pale could only nod without refuting further. "Yes, about 8 hundred monsters."
"But I don't think so, since we're not alone, Darius and his dozens of subordinate players will help us." Weed smiled slightly while patting Pale on the shoulder.
"Darius will help us? What's that shit?" Pale was getting confused.
Weed was busy handing out a small bottle to his partner.
Romuna observed the small bottle in her grasp, "Is this Weed? Don't tell-"
"Potions?" Pale.
"This is a fermented concoction of fresh fruits that I made before we left the fortress of Serabourg. The bottle is cheap."
Surka twirled her lips, "What are you sharing it for now-"
"Drink first, and then you'll understand." Cut Weed gemes. He straightened his part.
You've been drinking Brandy of Vitality!
Hp :+100
Strength :+10
Agility :+5
Effect: Reduce pain when injured.
Irene's eyes widened as she finished Weed's drink, "I can't believe how the story of beer can be this incredible thing." He could not even explain it with words.
Next to it there is Surka who still licks the mouth of the bottle even though the brandy has run out. Actually Surka had just reached adulthood, so vulnerable to alcoholic beverages, but the aroma of drinks from Weed made thirst feel like tasting it again and again.
"This drink is not fermented for too long, so the effect is also limited. But the advantages, this drink does not cause drunk." Weed explained the results of the concoction.
Without any further cue, Weed immediately moved first to attack the guard monsters.
"Eh uh uh We-ed?"
