heading into the Town of cloud village our trio headed to the first place they agreed to. The mercenary outpost, most professions besides the dedicated mages, druids, archers, and mana scientists come here for a quick pay or prospective job.

Our trio was not here to find a job...they were here to deliver one.

they reached the receptionist and told her about applying for a high quality job with a high yield reward. immediately the receptionist redirected them to their businessmen. Doing some routine checks and checking the log on the gizmo confirmed the existence of a dungeon with a unknown high level. After a brief haggling both parties reach a satisfied remuneration, the mercenary outpost would buy the token off the trio but not any of the information. Apparently the dungeon was discovered before by a party of higher skill then the trio, they were called the thunderclaps. Reason why is because of the sound they make when using an onslaught of thunder spells. Anyways, the party had already sent back some information on a few floors, however the party quickly went silent before they could record the location of the dungeon.

The dungeon was temporarily set to be approximately level 370 tier 3 rebirths 0.

And so...our trio was paid a small amount for the location of the dungeon, but will receive a royalty of 0.5% for everything inside the dungeon that can be harvested. Also a 4.5% additional royalty is to be given to the missing members of the thunderclap party, if decedent then transferred over to their significant other, inheritance, or descendants. considering the Thunderclap party was a larger then average party of 15 people...the trio got a good deal out of it. So instead of going inside to fight themselves, the trio left it to the care of the mercenaries and left to head to the mana forests.

The royalties don't have to cashed in here anyways, the mage guild is sponsored by the mercenary group to help in these situations. Going to any mercenary outpost to receive your royalties works perfectly as long as you have proof, as the mages keep a systematic record of all transactions connected across the continent. take it out of the treasury in your location and the record will be updated here and everywhere else.

and so...

time moves on.

...

Meanwhile a mysterious elemental in doctor's sterile attire is taking a ride on a magically enhanced flying construct. Destination...the Yellow meadow.

"My drone captured this picture by chance when it was randomly scanning the area after finding an unusual aroma being emitted here. The cause was later to be found of a stone mana flower, Rare and hard to encounter...but unluckily it happened to bloom right when several armies and representative scouts were around. Leading to...the day of great shame for Rock elementals. Abandoning all tradition and uniting to try to make a new pride to stand by."

The mysterious elemental looked carefully at the picture, as if to burn the image into the elementals head.

"Although a shame I couldn't collect it, my drone scanned something far more valuable. A gem with a high energy retention, high enough to outclass all of my highest requirements for a gem necessary for the heart. Including a hardiness scale beyond what the drone could measure on its instruments, add on the recording of it passing all tests of mana pressure calculations...this is the perfect gem needed for the heart."

Little did the mysterious elemental know...the gem it is talking about is heading right to its basecamp of the great clear lakes.
