Death Guns In Another World

The Dark Elf smiled; she decided to give this interesting man another glance; it was when she received her second shock.

One should know that Elves be Normal Elves, Wind Elf, Dark Elf, or the mighty High Elf, they got one thing in common, high affinity and high sensibility to mana, so although Alex had sealed most of his power, he couldn't completely hide the tremendous amount of mana inside his body.

So, the Dark Elf woman held a surprised expression for a moment after sensing Alex's mighty magic power but disappeared as she spoke with a smile.

''How do you do. I've heard various things about you from your reputation; you and your group have accomplished quite a feat. I am the guild master of Blue Ivy's adventurers' guild, Celesta Lilac. As you have noticed, I'm a Dark Elf. Nice to meet you.''

Celesta's face was well proportioned, and Alex could feel a sense of deep wisdom from her eyes, which was a characteristic of Elves and also because this one should be pretty old. 

Dark Elves. The ancestors of the Dark Elves and Elves were initially the same. However, the Dark Elves specialized more in combat. As a result, it was said that they lost the blessing from their spirits, and skin and hair changed to brown and silver, compared to Elves who had whiter skin and green hair. By the way, the ancestor of Elves is the High Elves.

Although the relationship between Dark Elves and Elves wasn't completely harmonious, it wasn't to the point where they constantly fought; at least they were on friendly terms the last hundreds of years.

''I'm Sam, Leader of the Sky Wolf Group, a C Rank group. So, to get to the point, what business do you have with me?''

The moment she heard Alex's words, the smile that was on Celesta's lips disappeared, and she turned to Leonora.

''Leonora, thanks for bringing him here. Downstairs will be busy in a lot of ways, for now; please take care of that.'' 

''I understand. Then, excuse me.''

Leonora gave a small nod at Celesta's words before heading back down. When the door closed, Celesta directed her dark green eyes towards Alex before speaking.

''Yes, I heard about this in Celesta,'' Alex responded. 

Celesta had a strange expression when Celesta's city was mentioned; it couldn't be helped; she shared the same name as the human city. The history behind Celesta's city name is quite funny; the City got named after a woman. The lovesick city Lord at that time names the city after his unrequited love, an Elf, quite ironic if you think about it. 

Shaking her head, Celesta stared at Alex and said.

''In that case, I can skip forward. Actually, we received an aid request from the guild of another city. It's an urgent request.'' 

''Oh? I finally understood why the first floor was so crowded. Is this City closer to Blue Ivy?" Alex asked.

However, at Alex's question, Celesta shook her head slightly.

''No, it's far away. Even if a seasoned adventurer rushed to travel the distance, it would still take ten days to get there.'' 

''Well, I'm curious about why a city so far would ask aid from here. I believe there another place they could ask help from.'' Alex stated.

''Well, you see.'' Celesta smiled bitterly before she began to explain. 

The story goes like this; they could have asked help in the Sia kingdom, in one of the cities closed to them; however, help couldn't quickly come as this city is supporting Katherina in the race for the throne, Xeenon's city being faithful to Artemia, it will be hard, it why they have turned to Blue Ivy who was in the neutral faction.

Alex's face twitched when he finally understood the reason behind Xeeno turning over here for help. 

''What is exactly happening?" Alex inquired. 

While looking at Alex, Celesta took out a small bottle about 5cm tall. There was some sort of powder inside it.

''This is?'' Alex inquired as he observed the small bottle.

〖Probably, that Aurora grass thingy.〗Silveria immediately made the connection.

Alex inwardly nodded and waited for Celesta's explanation.

''It's a powder made from a medicinal herb called Aurora grass. It's an ingredient used in medicine for some infectious illnesses, but it has a characteristic of only growing in places high in magic power such as here.'' 

''Because of the Underwater dungeon, huh?!" Alex finished what Celesta wanted to say. Blue Ivy being a coastal city, had an underwater dungeon, a pretty high-level one; if not because of lack of time, Alex would have loved diving into this underwater dungeon; he wondered what type of monsters were there in this dungeon.

''Exactly, as I was saying, this Aurora grass is used to treat infectious diseases such as Magic fever. Xeeno is experiencing high Magic fever at the moment, an extremely contagious disease that normally shouldn't appear in Xeeno but only occur in warm and humid areas where you would never have to wear long-sleeved clothes. 

''Please enlightened me; I'm clueless when it comes to stuff like that,'' Alex admitted his lack of knowledge on this matter; Celesta smiled before giving Alex a brief summary. 

Magic Fever, it is a so-called feverish illness, an illness that would affect people below a certain level of magic power. Conversely, if the person had a certain amount of magic power, they wouldn't need to worry about it. 

However, the level of magic power needed to ignore it varied depending on the surrounding environment. Even if it was safe in one area, it could potentially be highly infectious in others. It was basically an illness that was only seen in tropical areas. 

There was a medicinal cure for it that could be made using a medicinal herb called Aurora grass. If the medicine were used, patients would recover in a night. The incubation period of the illness was about one week. If no symptoms showed after that period of time, it meant that the magic power of the patient had been able to suppress it. 

''So, their stocks of Aurora grass have run out hence their turn over to Blue Ivy which possess a lot of Aurora grass.'' 

To Alex's words, Celesta nodded. 

''Normally, Xeeno shouldn't have this illness; there must be a reason. However, first I want to know why I'm called here, surely not because you wish to tell me these things.'' Alex looked at Celesta, urging her to go straight to the point. 

Celesta's face turned serious as she said. 

''I want to borrow your strength, as I had said when you walked in. Would you please lend us your help? I want you to bring aurora grass to Xeeno using gryphon. There are three reasons for you to be nominated for this quest: 

First: You possessed a high-level Space ring; you didn't hide it.

Second: We need the strongest adventurer currently available, and you fit the criteria, and lastly, not the least, I want you to investigate what happened on the other side; you're the only one capable.'' 

Alex nodded. Although he understood the reasoning behind him getting nominated for this emergency request, he wouldn't accept it if the benefits weren't to his liking, not enticing enough. So, he asked.

''What benefits do I get?" 

Celesta smiled before whispering something into Alex's ears; the latter smiled.
