Chapter 19: Bard’s Quest

Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

“Honorable Young Master Caruso, there is indeed something that I have been unable to let go of but…”

A few minutes later, Bard gradually opened his mouth.

He spoke softly, enunciating every word.

But, in the end, he fell silent again.

Seeing this, it was not difficult for Caruso to guess that the other party must have something difficult to say.

Obviously, the other party was too weak. Even if he said the quest, it would be difficult for him to complete it.

“Mr. Bard, I know that my current strength is weak but I believe that nothing can be difficult for me. Why not give it a try?”

In order to get the mission, Caruso did not care about his identity and hurriedly said.

He wanted to use this to reassure Bard.

“No, no, no, Young Master Caruso, that’s not what I meant.”

“I’m mainly worried that your precious body will be hurt.”

“If you’re not the Child of Darkness, there might still be a chance, but you’re the Child of Darkness now. As long as you release your skills, the people of the Temple of Light will definitely recognize your magic elements. At that time, don’t even talk about going in to get that thing, just walking to the door will be burned by the holy light.”

Hearing Caruso’s words, Bard immediately started to explain.

After he finished, he shook his head and started to explain.

After he explained clearly, Caruso also understood a little.

It seemed that the other party felt that his own innate magic element was darkness-type magic.

Since ancient times, light and darkness were opposites.

From the explanation, it was not difficult to hear that the other party’s mission was to go to the Temple of Light.

As a base for light mages, there was definitely something to detect the dark elements.

Therefore, he was worried that he would be captured before he could really reach a place.

“Mr. Bard, is that what you’re worried about?”

After analyzing the other party’s unspeakable secret, Caruso immediately stretched out a hand, followed by a ball of bright flame that swam on his palm. The flame lit up the entire cave like holy fire, shining brightly.

“This… this…”

“You’re a dual-element mage?”

“You… as expected… as expected… the person chosen by the God of Darkness can not be a mediocre person. This is too good, this is too good!”

Seeing the ball of flame in Caruso’s palm, as well as feeling the intense fluctuations of the fire element, Bard became excited.

Previously, he was worried about this.

But now, since Caruso was a dual-element mage, then everything was easy to talk about.

Moreover, he found that when Caruso used fire element magic, the dark element disappeared completely, as if the other party was a fire element mage.

Seeing the other party so excited, Caruso didn’t waste time and said, “Then, Mr. Bard?”

“Honorable Child of Darkness, Young Master Caruso. I, Stantumon Bard, beg you to help me take back the Magic Cup!”

“Ding-dong. Player has received the first part of [Bard’s Revenge] Quest. Do you want to take back the Magic Cup?”

“Yes!”

Along with Bard’s excited anticipation, the system notification gradually sounded.

After it sounded, Caruso did not pay attention to the information of the quest and immediately replied.

After accepting the quest, Bard also started to talk to himself.

“Young Master Caruso, forty years ago, I was not a mage who practiced dark magic. I even said that I hated dark magic more than anyone else. All of this was my education. It made me feel that dark magic was the evilest bastard types in the world.”

“However, when I was twenty-three years old… When I participated in the assessment of the temple, my wife, whom I loved the most… She… She was suffering from a serious illness. In order to take care of her, I gave up the opportunity to go to the temple. Then, I began to search for countless methods that could save my wife. As I searched, I accidentally awakened the dark magic in my body. I swear to god that I learned dark magic and understood everything about the dark magic because someone told me that the solution to my wife’s serious illness could only be saved by a dark potion!”

“But… but… but… When I developed this drug, my wife was already dead!”

“When she died, I chose to commit suicide, wanting to leave this world with my wife!”

“But!”

“But!”

“But!”

“Just as I was about to die, I suddenly received news!”

“My wife’s illness was not sudden, but man-made!”

“This is a rare curse, it’s the curse of the evil mage!”

“When I learned about this, I began to follow the clues to find the answer.”

“In the end, I found out… all of this was because of… the qualification to go to the temple for the assessment!”

“For this qualification, that person did not hesitate to spend a lot of money. I don’t know where he hired an evil mage to cast this curse. When I found out about this, that person had already become a genius in the temple. He was extremely powerful. Later, in order to take revenge, I chose to join the ranks of dark mages. Through various experiments and various tests, not being afraid of life and death, I became a ten-star darkness grand archmagus thirty years ago.”

“I thought that I could take revenge, but… the other party’s talent is far beyond my reach.”

“But every time I’m ready to give up, the face of my wife’s tragic death will appear in front of me, indicating that I can’t die like this. I want revenge. I want revenge! I want to kill him! I want to expose his true face to the sun!”
