Not A Hero
Eps. 12 - Mission Prize
Escal nodded his head after he finished hearing Harold's explanation, which was the reason why the Kingdom had not sent Official assistance to rescue Commander Loyd.
This was due to the middle of a war in the Eastern Kingdom, between the Aireest Kingdom and the Earthvill Kingdom.
Although the scale had not yet grown, but the Earthvill Kingdom that attacked aggressively had to be completely blocked. If you can, be defeated as soon as possible before the casualties increase.
Most of the troops were sent to the Eastern Battlefield, the rest having their respective duties in other regions.
As a result it was difficult to seek the help of the Loyd Rescue, so the King decided to make a Mission for anyone who could afford it.
Surely the rewards of the Kingdom are not playful, so many try and eventually die in vain. Of course, unless Escal survives and rescues Loyd with the remaining troops.
“Then.. Nick!” Harold glanced at Nick and nodded, a gesture that was immediately captured by Nick.
He bowed a little before leaving, then a little while later returned with a large wooden Crate and at stake on the Table Harold.
“Please, you are entitled to receive this.”
Harold let it be with a smile on his face. Escal glanced at him for a moment, then his gaze fell on the wooden coffin in front of him.
His hand was outstretched, about to open the chest and just right away he saw many precious objects inside the Chest.
Hundreds of Gold Coins and several gems, as well as high-level Mana, Stamina and Health Potion. Truly valuable and quality items that are difficult to obtain.
“I won't hesitate.” Escal smiled faintly and just directly put it into System Storage.
Harold and Nick were not surprised at all, they thought Escal had the Space Ring after seeing a silver ring embedded in his finger, so they thought it was natural.
The conversation continued for quite a while, until lunch time arrived. It was only then that Escal returned home, and was greeted by Liliane as usual.
The two had lunch after Liliane had prepared a meal for them to eat at that time.

“Succeed! We finally made it!”
Looking at the screen in front of them, a group of people shouted in joy. Eventually they survived the first mission that required them to survive in the dangerous Brownhood Forest full of Level Five to seven Monsters.
“Heh, basic bunch of fools.”
Sinister and condescending voices were heard entering the ears of those people. Of course, it was inviting resentment in their hearts.
As they turned in one direction, they saw a young man wearing a hooded black robe, sitting leisurely on a stone. Supporting his head with his left hand, the young man smiled disdainfully with his red eyes glistening coldly.
“Why?”
Not showing the slightest guilt, the boy asked boldly.
That was also what others thought, because they survived also thanks to the young man. So that they could only clench their hands, gnash their teeth and claw in their hearts without actually daring to fight back.
“Coward!”
The young man muttered and grunted softly, he gazed towards the clear-looking sky with the sun starting to descend to the west, indicating that it was late afternoon.
Sighing for a moment, he jumped down from the rock and walked away.
Someone immediately tried to stop him.
“Wait! A-you want to go where?”
Glancing at the group of people, the young man waved his hand.
“Our business is done, I'm not a philanthropist willing to accommodate weak people. Whatever you want to do after this, it has nothing to do with me.”
The young man continued his path, without a care for the few people behind him who begged and told him to stop.
..........
Sitting in a chair in front of his desk, Escal leaned against the head of the chair and tapped gently on the table with his index finger.
Glancing at an open book and already having some writing with the stationery beside it, Escal turned his gaze out the window.
“It should be today, the people who adhere to that system can get out of the forest right?”
Escal muttered softly, recalling the first mission of the system he was supposed to be working on.
Based on the time of the first Mission, the Warriors should now be able to get out of the forest and undergo the second mission that the System will provide.
But he had never met anyone else from the same world as him who had also been summoned here, until this very moment.
“What's Rebellion Star?”
Escal thought then shook his head, “No, I guess that's a natural thing! Then, is there another Rebellion Star right now?”
Escal held his chin, a habit he unconsciously practiced while seriously thinking.
“Tok.. tok.. tok..!”
The sudden sound of knocking on the door rang out, resuscitating him.
“What's up, Liliane?”
“Sorry to bother you Sir, but there is someone looking for you.”
