My Mercenary Guild is Full of Beauties

Chapter 23: Earl Vidal

In a resplendent mansion, a middle-aged man was pacing back and forth inside the study room, his usually majestic and solemn face was full of anxiety. He was Earl Vidal, who asked Bastian to contact Henrick two days ago.

Just now, he kicked a senior priest out of the room. How could he not be furious? Under the treatment of these priests, his most precious baby daughter's condition worsened again.

"These rubbish! None of them are useful!"

Earl Vidal slammed his fist on the table, causing the glass on top of it to wobble and fall, spilling the liquor inside on its surface.

His most precious daughter has contracted a strange disease since returning from a trip a few years ago.

In the beginning, she was just tired easily and thinking that she was simply exhausted from playing, he asked his daughter to rest more. However, the condition not only did not ease but became more severe, from frequent lethargy to a sudden coma, and now her life was slowly dying...

Even after a lot of priests and doctors were brought in for inspection, the result was that there was nothing wrong with her at all.

"Goddess, what should I do!"

The earl clenched his fist and closed his eyes, pleading to the Goddess for mercy.

At this moment, Bastian ran in with excitement plastered on his face. "My lord! Good news! Good news! Two people came with a letter of recommendation from President Henrick! They said that there is a way to cure Lady's illness!"

"What! Invite them in!" Earl Vidal's eyes flashed with excitement, and he quickly asked Bastian to bring the two of them in.

Soon, under Bastian's lead, Aurora, and Claudia came to Earl Vidal.

"Um?"

Earl Vidal's originally excited heart gradually sank when he saw Aurora's slightly immature appearance and Claudia standing behind her with evasive eyes.

How could this Henrick send such young people over? Could it be that he deliberately fooled me?!

"Hmmph!"

Earl Vidal's cold snort made Claudia tremble all over. She stretched out her hand and pulled the corner of Aurora's clothes; her eyes were full of worry.

"Hello Earl Vidal, I am Aurora, introduced by President Henrick. May we all be bathed in the brilliance of The Queen's Majesty."

"Oh?" Earl Vidal raised his brows.

He looked curiously at Aurora standing in front of him. After his anger lessened somehow, he finally observed the appearance of the young lady carefully.

Although she dressed similarly to a common mercenary, the graceful and refined aura emitted from her body couldn't be concealed. And even under her coercion, she could still keep her composure and speak in a tone that was neither humble nor overbearing, as if she were used to dealing with nobles like him.

This kid isn't simple

As far as he remembered, there was no such person in the aristocratic circle. Could she be someone's illegitimate child?

"Okay, stop with the polite words. I just want to know, do you really have a solution for my daughter's condition?"

Aurora nodded slightly. "There is a way, but I need to check Lady Vidal's condition before I can confirm the situation."

"Very well, I hope you won't disappoint me, come with me."

Earl Vidal walked outside, Aurora and Claudia followed quickly. Along the way, many servants and maids would always stop and salute the Earl when they passed by, and then continue towards their original work direction after the Earl passed.

The large number of servants, the luxurious magic stone wall lamps hanging high on both sides, the smooth and bright marble floor, and the mahogany doors carved with beautiful bronze patterns all made Aurora feel the life of the rich. Sure enough, it is unusual, showing the luxury of the nobility.

At last, they stopped in front of a room.

Earl Vidal took a deep breath and stretched out his hand to push open the door of this room.

The inside was pitch black, and the thick curtains blocked all the light. The most eye-catching thing in the room was a two-meter-long and wide bed, and, on top of it, a young girl with a sickly pale complexion was sleeping without a sound.

If it weren't for her slightly rising and falling chest, Claudia would have thought that she had left the world for good.

With Earl Vidal's consent, Aurora and Claudia came to the girl's side. The girl was already very thin under the influence of the disease, but her beautiful face was still unaffected.

"Leader... Ms. Vidal is probably not sick... I feel a particularly strange breath from her." Claudia whispered in Aurora's ear, she always felt that the girl seemed to be filled with some kind of dark breath that made her feel uneasy.

As expected of an elf, her perception is quite sharp... Aurora sighed inwardly.

It is understandable that the previous priests and doctors had no way to do this. After all, this thing is not something that ordinary humans could perceive.

If she hadn't happened to see a player on the forum proudly sharing his specific strategy for this hidden mission, she might not be able to solve this problem now.

In Legend Online, apart from universal main quests and side quests, the hidden quests were all one-time quests. As long as someone completed it, no one would be able to retake the same quest again.

[Ding! a mission has been triggered Rescue Lady Vidal]

[Treat Lady Vidal's illness within 24 hours]

[Rewards: Earl Vidal's Friendship, Baronet's Title X1, Gold Coins X500, Noble Manor X1]

[Penalty: Forced demotion of the mercenary group, Earl Vidal's ire]

She was quite surprised to see the Baronship as a reward similar to the game and couldnt help but feel perplexed. After all, as far as she knew in the previous world, only the sovereign of a country could appoint nobility, only in a game could something like a noble electing a new noble happen.

Well, whatever Its not that important anyway

Aurora let go of her thoughts and began to pay close attention to Lady Vidal's situation. At this moment, a small skull symbol appeared above Lady Vidal's head in her perspective, and beside it, a countdown continued to drop every second.

24 hours is enough!

Earl Vidal saw that Aurora's expression softened and asked quickly.

"How's the situation?"

"Earl Vidal, I'm certain that I can help Lady Vidal's condition!"

Aurora's words completely let the stone in his heart fall to the ground.

"But"

"But what! Whatever your condition is, as long as you can save my daughter, I'll fulfil it!" Earl Vidal said anxiously, he must firmly hold this life-saving straw, no matter how much it costs!

"Earl Vidal, we need a certain number of light purification magic scrolls, no matter what level they are! This is very important for treating Lady Vidal!"

"This is no problem!" Earl Vidal clapped his hands twice, and Bastian, who was waiting outside, immediately walked to his side, "Quickly collect the light purification magic scroll according to the Lady Aurora's request as soon as possible!"

"Yes, milord!"

After receiving the order, Bastian hurriedly left, and Aurora asked Earl Vidal to prepare some holy water and light-attribute magic stones for use when they came back.

About half an hour later, Bastian and several servants rushed back with more than a dozen bundles of magic scrolls.

"Lady Aurora, please see if all the things you need are here."

Bastian took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had already brought as many magic scrolls as he could afford in and around the mansion.

"That's right! Thank you, Mr. Bastian."

Aurora checked and counted and found that there were a total of more than a dozen bundles: 11 first-level light purification scrolls, 6 second-level light purification scrolls, and even 2 third-level light purification scrolls!

It's too generous! Aurora couldn't help but give a hearty thumbs up.

Just a second-level magic scroll would cost several gold coins, let alone a third-level magic scroll. Originally, she estimated that a dozen or so first-level scrolls would be pretty good. I exceeded her expectations by a lot, and her confidence to finish this mission soared.

"Why did I suddenly feel sorry for the Lord Earl?" Aurora muttered after putting all the scrolls into the warehouse.

Everything was ready, Aurora set off with Claudia, and before leaving, she once again asked Earl Vidal to prepare holy water and light-attribute magic stones in advance.

Then she took the carriage arranged by the earl and guided the coachman in that direction according to the route she remembered.

"Captain, why are we heading towards the Garden of Death?" Claudia asked Aurora with a puzzled face when she saw the road sign indicating the road ahead through the car window, "Aren't we going to save Lady Vidal?"

"We are going to save her." Aurora said, "She is not exactly sick, but is inflicted by a very vicious curse." She glanced at the driver and lowered her voice, "I don't know if you ever heard of the goddess' smile?"

"The Goddess' smile?!?"
