I’m Not an Evil God! Novel - Chapter 15

Chapter 15: On a Mission!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

After going through a simple process, James accepted this mission.

After accepting the mission, he obtained complete information about the mission.

James flipped through the materials briefly but found almost no valuable information.

Apart from the location of Gentleman Will’s manor, there was only a list of books on holy spells.

Other than that, it was all worthless information.

James frowned when he didn’t see what he wanted to see.

This mission might not be simple!

No matter how he looked at it, this mission seemed like a simple moving mission. However, if it was worth one Silver Coin, it definitely had some value.

That shrewd gentlemen would not allow others to earn even an extra cent!

“I hope this Gentleman Will is a generous man,” James prayed.

After all, he had chosen this mission because it was simple and easy.

If he could complete it in one day, he would be able to rush back and look after the sacrificial array.

But from the looks of it, there might be some unexpected situations in this mission.

He only hoped that if there was an accident, it wouldn’t take too long.

Even though he prayed, James wasn’t very worried.

After all, with his actual strength as a Gold adventurer, there was a very small chance that he wouldn’t be able to handle an unexpected situation.

After putting away the complete mission letter, James went home first.

As soon as he got home, he was met with Elise’s expectant gaze.

“Mr. James, what mission did you just accept?”

“It’s just a simple transportation mission to help others take back some supplies. It’s nothing difficult.”

James said.

Even though the mission sounded simple, there was still joy in Elise’s eyes.

After all, she had never heard of the adventurers, the Adventurer’s Guild, and commissions for missions.

Although it was just a simple mission, she was still very interested in it.

Seeing the excitement in her eyes, James knew that she wanted to go with him to complete this mission.

Therefore, he simply said, “This mission is very simple and won’t take long to complete. You can stay at home.”

“It’s alright, Mr. James. I’m just following you to take a look. It would be best if I could help you!”

James put his hand to his forehead with some worry.

To be honest, everything else about Elise was good. However, her exuberant curiosity always gave James a headache.

Thus, the helpless James could only say, “No!”

“If I go out to complete the mission, I’ll need someone to watch over the sacrificial array here!”

“If you go with me, what if those cultists send something dangerous over?”

This was not a lie.

This was James’ consideration. Previously, the frequency of sacrifices was low, and the timing of the sacrifices was usually fixed. Thus, he could still work in the tavern while guarding the ritual array.

However, as the number of sacrifices increased, it had developed to the point where one person had to guard it.

Over the past few days, with James’s “painstaking advice”, he had managed to trick Eilis into eating the eggs of a few Giant Chaos Wolves.

Thus, her physique had strengthened considerably. If she did not encounter a particularly troublesome monster, she would be able to deal with a typical sacrifice alone.

Upon hearing James’s words, Elise lowered her head in disappointment.

James could not bear to see her so downcast.

Thus, he stroked Elise’s hair and comforted her. “Don’t worry!”

“Once I find a way to resolve this sacrificial array, I’ll bring you to the Adventurer’s Guild to register!”

“Are you speaking the truth, Mr. James?” Elise was surprised.

She had never thought that James would promise to make her an adventurer as well.

“Of course!”

After receiving an affirmative answer from James, Elise jumped up happily.

Her disappointment of not being able to go on a mission together was also abandoned.

James smiled when he saw that Elise’s emotions had returned to normal.

After informing Elise about what to look out for when guarding the sacrificial array once again, he put on his equipment and left.

Although the mission this time was simple, James still decided to go all out.

He had to ensure that this mission was completed perfectly.

Adventurers would be evaluated when they completed a mission. The higher their evaluation, the better the credibility of the adventurer.

This evaluation was typically useless, but its importance would be shown when many adventurers competed for the same mission.

After all, the client would definitely not hire an adventurer with low credibility.

Therefore, he was very confident about the first mission!

He rented a horse carriage in the city.

Then, James set off for Black Earth Town.

Black Earth Town was about 20 kilometers away from here. Thus, with the speed of this carriage, he would be able to arrive in about two hours.

As time gradually passed, the scenery outside the carriage gradually became desolate.

Black Earth Town was located in the north of Saint Laurent City, and the north was a barren area.

The further north he went, the more barren it became.

The lives of the people there were even harsher.

However, it was precisely because that place was poor that the effects of the law became weaker.

In fact, there were even some local bandits who did not care about the local government organizations.

They dared to rob others in broad daylight.

They were simply extremely arrogant.

James had guessed that this might be the mission why Gentleman Will had put up this mission.

He was afraid of encountering bandits who would block his way.

If that was all, James wouldn’t be worried.

However, he was afraid that something unexpected would happen.

He was afraid of the Land of Chaos!

This Land of Chaos was not the same Land of Chaos that produced monsters.

Instead, it was a lawless land that was independent of the empire.

Many powerful adventurers who had committed serious crimes in the empire were there.

It was a paradise of crime, and a place where arms of the imperial law could not reach.

Other than adventurers, there were also mages and punishers!

1

They belonged to the two biggest guilds in the empire other than the Adventurer’s Guild — the Guild of Magic and the Judgment Bureau.

The Guild of Magic and Adventurer’s Guild were both civil organizations, but the Judgment Bureau was an organization established by the empire.

Their objective was to supervise those who used extraordinary powers.

To put it bluntly, it was established to supervise the mages and adventurers.

This was an organization established by the empire to check and balance the Guild of Magic and Adventurer’s Guild.

However, the creator of the Land of Chaos was a person who had committed a great crime in the Judgment Bureau.

Therefore, the Land of Chaos was a powerful force that was independent of the three great forces.

This was because they had taken in the people who had committed crimes against the three great powers. Thus, all of them were extremely powerful.

Furthermore, they also had a deep hatred towards the empire that outsiders could not understand.

For people who absolutely detested the empire, they would kill anyone they saw, especially if they were from the three great powers.

Furthermore, Black Earth Town was near the Land of Chaos.

Thus, there was a high chance that he would meet someone from the Land of Chaos, or someone who wanted to go there.

If he were to bump into them, he would be in big trouble!
