"Capture the Blue Ferret?"
In one of the guest rooms in Helen Hotel, Hank's words were full of doubt.
"Catching a little pet for those ladies to play with, is this a trial mission given to me by my sister?”
"Yes, Young Master."
A middle-aged woman in a blue samurai suit answered seriously.
"You've read Miss 'letter. I can say for sure that you didn't see wrongly. It's to catch that kind of small pet. This is also the reason why Miss asked you to come here before opening the letter. If I told you earlier, you definitely wouldn't have come.”
"Of course. According to my sister, what I need now is actual combat training, so I'm here. However, Blue Ferret? Those little animals that are not even as thick as my arm and only know how to squeak are actually fighting with me? I can beat it in two seconds."
"Young Master, that will only work if it is willing to charge up and fight you. Miss would not do meaningless things. This is information about the Blue Ferret. You and Alan will take a look later. The blue sable was not the only wild beast in the mountains. Remember, the prerequisite is to capture him alive."
The middle-aged woman completely ignored Hank's dissatisfaction and invited the two young men out of her room.
The woman who sat down boiled a pot of water and made a cup of tea. She took a sip and closed her eyes.
"Please come in."
The woman, who seemed to be in a daze, heard the soft knock on the door and said calmly.
"Hello. Are you Madam Mary? I'm the client of your mission. This is the recommendation letter from the Adventurer's Association.”
Following the voice, an excessively handsome young man walked in.
"He's Caucasian, but his skin color is bronze, which means he's always outdoors. There were no extra clothes, and the sword was stuck in the most convenient position. There was no fat on his body and he was in good spirits. It meant that he often exercised and lived a regular life.”
Mary stared at the young man in front of her and took the recommendation letter. She made a preliminary judgment in her mind.
"As expected of a woman with great self-control. The way she looked at me was to evaluate my strength. There shouldn't be any unnecessary disturbances in this mission.”
Daley thought as he stood in the room.
"Please have some tea."
Mary made a cup of tea and handed it to Daley, who was standing at the side. Then, she opened the letter of introduction and read it.
"Thank you.
Daley took the tea with both hands, pulled a chair over, and sat quietly at the side, his eyes looking at the ground.
"He's polite and knows how to control himself."
Mary's impression of him improved a little.
"Mr. Daley?"
After ten minutes, Mary finally finished reading the letter of recommendation and raised her head.
"Yes."
"According to the recommendation letter, you are a martial artist with a lot of experience in the forest. For this mission, a Level Two martial artist is already qualified. I believe in the association's recommendation based on your familiarity with the environment. However, this wasn't just a guide mission. It also contained the meaning of guidance. I would like to ask your opinion on this mission.”
"Yes, Madam."
Daley stood up.
"I also want to ask, do you plan to only carry out quest-related trials or do you want to add more combat trials?”
"Very good."
Madam Mary smiled.
"This is the first time my young master has come to the mountain forest. I think we shouldn't do anything unnecessary in case he can't absorb it. We only need to do the part related to this mission.”
Daley thought for a moment and nodded.
"Then, I think we need to prepare some things. I'll make a list first. Madam, see if there's anything you need to add.”
Mary nodded, took out a piece of paper and a charcoal pencil, and handed them to Daley.
In the Aslan Continent, everyone had to learn how to read, write, draw maps, and calculate. Every village had schools that taught them. Reading and writing was to make it easier for him to understand the clues or warnings left behind by his predecessors when he went on a mission. He also needed to leave a message or ask for help when he was in danger. Drawing maps was to find new resources or explore new locations to be able to record them. Calculating was to avoid disputes or being cheated when making a deal. In short, under the vigorous promotion of the country, almost everyone in the kingdom could write, draw, and count.
Daley quickly wrote down what he needed. After about ten minutes, he was finally done.
Daley didn't pass the note to Mary immediately after he finished writing. Instead, he read it carefully again.
Mary nodded.
"That's all."
After two rounds of confirmation, Daley handed the pen and paper to Madam Mary.
Madam Mary, who took the note, looked at the list seriously and drew on it with a pen.
"That's all for now. The circle means that I've already prepared it. You need to prepare the other things. I'll pay for the expenses. You just need to bring the bill. How long do you think it will take to prepare these things?”
"Two days. However, I'll come by tomorrow and give you a map with information about our activity areas. I think you can start warming them up tomorrow.”
The next day, the two young men were called to their room by Mary.
"Yesterday, Young Master read the book I gave him for the whole day. What do you think?”
"The blue sable is a very fast and timid animal.”
The two young men looked at each other and Hank said.
" Its running speed is so fast that ordinary people can't catch up with it at all. Not to mention that it's small and can go to places that humans can't go at all. Moreover, its sense of smell and hearing are very sensitive. Once there's any movement, it will immediately run away.”
Madam Mary nodded.
"Therefore, it should be very difficult to catch them by force.”
Alan continued.
"However, from what we saw in the provincial capital, the Blue Ferret is not a rare pet, and powerful experts would not attack for such a cheap little thing.”
"What does that mean?"
Madam Mary took a sip of tea and asked calmly.
"It means that it should have a huge weakness. Even an ordinary person should be able to catch it.”
Hank continued.
"Alan and I thought about it carefully last night. It should be nothing more than using traps and drugs. Alan and I are not good at traps.”
"Miss didn't give me any special medicine.”
"That means that those medicines can be obtained locally, and it's not as simple as walking over to collect them.”
Hank concluded.
"To get those things and then think of a way to make the blue sable fall for it. This should be big sister's true intention.”
Madam Mary didn't reply. She just took a sip of tea and nodded.
"So, what should we do today?”
"This is the map our guide brought. Young Master, please look carefully and write it down. By the way, the things that Young Master wanted and the problems that he would have to face after getting them were all in here. The Adventurer's Association had a data room, and Young Master could go there to check it out.”
