Chapter 93: S-Rankers and S-Class Mission
********
LOCATION: SOUTHEASTERN PART OF CLIFFTON EMPIRE
It is stated that the southern part of the empire are much more of a dry season than the rainy season and it's rarely for this part to have a cold weather, unlike from the northern part where it seems like it's an ever winter and even if the winter season ends there, it's still cold from that place.
'Well, that's according to the resources that I gathered around in this place. I don't know why it's always the northern part of every empire that's describes as a cold place because of its ever winter season in every western fantasy worldlines that I world-hopped into.'
That's just what I observed, and it seems like this place wasn't that different.
Also, from the world-hopper's perspective, he is no longer within the world plot of [Mystique Enchantress] worldline since he is now in a completely different continent and empire.
Before the System Archive became inaccessible, Eclipse had read most of the world plot for [Mystique Enchantress] and he also tried to search for other information in regards about the Cranus Continent where the Stellarus Empire resides.
However, the world-hopper didn't saw any information aside from the Stellarus Empire and he only saw a brief mention of a certain small kingdom since in the world plot of [Mystique Enchantress], one of the six male leads is a Crown Prince from that kingdom and nothing else.
'It feels like the [Mystique Enchantress] worldline is an isolated worldline that could be labeled as nothing but a wasteland or an abandoned worldline because of its limited information.'
Since there is no information if there are other continents aside from Cranus continent, that's what Eclipse could only think about it.
Now, both him and Arico arrived at the southern part of this empire since the commission task would take place here.
Arico is the one who do the job of asking about how to travel from that place as Eclipse didn't trust someone to go with them and Arico feels the same way.
After both of them left the guild and paid for some carriage for their journey, they left the village and they were traveling for more than a week and after that, they reached the place.

TASK MISSION: RETRIEVAL OPERATION
RANK: S
MISSION DETAILS: RETRIEVE AN ITEM [RING OF RAZILLA] WITHIN THE VALLEY OF THE DEEP THAT WAS SITUATED IN THE SOUTHEASTERN PART OF CLIFFTON EMPIRE.
REWARDS: 10M GOLD
**********
"You know what? The mission detail seems vague for me. Also, [Ring of Razilla]? What is that? How are we supposed to find this freaking item to begin with?"
Arico complained as he looked at the commission details once more and frowns at the little detail that's inscribed within the pamphlet.
"Well, the rewards for the completion for this mission is quite tempting but I know you weren't after the reward that much. So now tell me?"
'Hmmm…. I thought he was just a killing machine and nothing else. He had some brains, after all.'
He thought as he looked at Arico who seemed like waiting for some answers.
"Hey! You're not badmouthing me at the back of your mind, right?"
The Slayer Agent said, and Eclipse only gazed back at him with a blank expression on his face.
After a minute, Arico just sighed because he knew that he couldn't get a word from someone who seemed like a stone for display and wouldn't even dare to speak if caught red-handed.
Honestly, there is a reason why Eclipse took this commission.
And that's because he knows about the [Ring of Razilla].
Or so he might be.
'I need to be sure if the [Ring of Razilla] that I know is the same as the one in this commission.'
The world-hopper is familiar with the [Ring of Razilla].
'That's because, [Ring of Razilla] was an item that I personally owned in one of the worldlines that I world-hopped into. From my memory, that item was gifted to him by a certain master from the Magic Tower since my role there is one of his apprentices and I was his top student.'
He thought as he tried to picture out the [Ring of Razilla] from his memories.
Since it's already been too long for him to remember but Eclipse remember a certain feature about that ring.
'It will only respond to its owner with a passcode that I imprinted on it.'
The worldline that he world-hopped into from where that ring came from, it looks like a western fantasy setting but it's much more advanced than this worldline since that worldline has a mixture of magic and science from the modern era.
'Ha! I miss that worldline. Talking about Magic Engineering and some Locomotive Magic Cars engineered with mana stones are much more preferable than ordinary carriages in this worldline.'
He wondered if he could start with those theories here since he is no longer bound by the script and no longer the minor villain of this worldline.
'Now back from that empire, Ezekiel Zephyr Chevalier is now dead and no longer in the living world so I guess I could get something to do here that now I'm in a different continent and empire to begin with.'
However, first things first, Eclipse needs to confirm about that item from the commission pamphlet and also, they need to meet the client who commissioned this.
Before they left the guild, Eclipse asked the receptionist, the one who's in-charge of the commission department and the one who's responsible for posting mission tasks on the board, for information about the client who submitted a commission to the guild.
Normally, information regarding the client are strictly confidential as per rules and regulations of the guild in order to protect the client's privacy.
However, that was not the case for both Arico and Eclipse.
Because they were not ordinary adventurers as they were part of the Golden Rank as their ranks are none other than S-Rank.
When they joined the guild several months ago, their strength and magic powers are immeasurable for them to calculate their ranks and because of that, the guild master from the Main Office from Krom city was immediately dispatched and he is the one who re-evaluate the two of them.
And the result? Well, both of them got S-Rank right on the spot since the Guild Master from the Main Office is a SS-Rank and they were offered some privilege because of their ranks.
One of their privileges is access to information whenever they need, and this is one of them.
The information about the client of the commission they took in.
