Chapter 39: Reward
"Sorry, it was my oversight. I didn't expect that guy to be so extreme! He actually went so far as to send people from the Dark Guild to sabotage my plans!"
Mr. Denor spoke with a grim expression. Clearly, he had a major conflict with Haros, possibly to the point where he wanted Haros dead. Otherwise, Haros wouldn't have contacted the Dark Guild to target him.
"That's none of my business, Mr. Denor."
Moen shook his head; he wasn't interested in the conflict between the two.
"I only want my payment and compensation."
Holding the bag in his hand, Moen immediately opened it, revealing the "magic horn" inside, and showed it to Mr. Denor.
"Of course. This was my oversight. I will deliver the compensation as usual. Thank you for your hard work, young brother Moen."
Upon seeing the "magic horns" in the bag, Mr. Denor's expression immediately brightened with joy, and his attitude towards Moen was very appropriate; his initial doubts had long since disappeared.
Look at these "demon horns," and then look at those dark guild mages who are tied up; Moen's strength has been proven.
At this point, youth is no longer an obstacle, but proof of a promising future. Moen is clearly a rising star in the magical world, and it's definitely the right thing to do to build a good relationship with him.
People with ability always earn more respect. Mr. Denor is not stupid, so he naturally wouldn't try anything funny with Moen.
Once the group entered the manor, Mr. Denor immediately sent someone to fetch the payment, and the commission was completed with the exchange of money and goods.
"This is a reward of 800,000 J, plus an additional 200,000 J in accidental damages! Little brother Moen, am I being generous enough?"
With a smile on his face, Mr. Denor handed a wad of cash to Moen; his accidental compensation was a very high percentage.
"You can come to me again if you have a similar task next time."
Moen accepted the money and answered calmly, but he was actually a little excited. This was the biggest order he had ever completed. The commissions he had done in the city before did not pay much.
One million J sounds like a lot, but in reality, it doesn't feel like much in your hand. It's just a hundred ten-thousand-J banknotes. That's how it is when the currency has a large face value.
One million J, converted according to purchasing power, is roughly equivalent to 50,000 RMB. Thinking about it that way, it doesn't seem like much, considering that this mission involves traveling quite far and defeating monsters, making it a rather arduous mission.
Therefore, it's not easy for mages to earn money. They risk their lives to hunt monsters, and they only earn tens of thousands of RMB per trip.
Low-level mages have to take on a lot of miscellaneous jobs to make a living, such as finding lost items, catching adulterers, catching perverts, or even helping with farm work like planting and watering. The pay for these jobs is mostly less than 100,000 J, and some may even be only a few thousand J.
These miscellaneous tasks are mostly located in or around the city. Moen had done them before, and based on his personal experience, these tasks are actually the cornerstone for the survival of a mage guild.
Powerful mages are ultimately few and far between, and many mages in the guild rely on these missions to make a living.
Most mages lack the ability to complete missions like this, which can earn them a million J just by going out on a trip.
After all, at this price, if you grit your teeth and add a little more money, you might even be able to hire an S-class mage.
Although getting a quest listed as an S-rank mission in the guild's commission system requires a reward of at least five million J, S-rank mages may accept cheaper missions when there are no S-rank missions available in the guild.
Making money is nothing to be ashamed of. Even S-class mages sometimes want to earn some easy money, since the difficulty of S-class missions matches the reward.
Mr. Denor received the magic horn and signed the quest commission, which officially concluded the quest. Moen only needed to take the commission back to the guild.
As for the guild's commission, it was already paid when the commissioner submitted the task. No matter who is shortchanged, the platform will not be shortchanged.
Of course, if the task cannot be completed, or if the client wants to cancel the task, the guild will refund the money to the client.
On the continent of Ishgar, both humans and mages follow a well-established legal system; this world is not a chaotic one.
After leaving Mr. Denor's manor, Moen did not go directly to the theater, but instead went to the Magic Council's office in Onibas.
"boom!"
Moen swung the rope, and the "big meatball" crashed heavily to the entrance of the Magic Council's office. Several mages in uniform rushed out; these were all staff members of the Magic Council.
"Who goes there?!"
The mages in their uniforms were all on high alert; it had been a long time since anyone had dared to cause trouble at the Magic Council's office!
"Greetings, I am Moen Dreia, a mage from Fairy Tail. I've captured a few guys from the Dark Guild."
Moen peeked out from behind the "big meatball" and greeted the uniformed guys with a smile on his face, looking very friendly.
"Fairy Tail? Dora?"
Upon hearing these two keywords, the uniformed guy immediately relaxed.
As the No.1 mage guild in the Kingdom of Fiore, they were naturally well aware of the renowned name of "Fairy Tail".
As for Makarov Dreia, one of the "Ten Wizard Saints," his name is naturally very well-known.
Although the mages of "Fairy Tail" always cause trouble and are always criticized by the Magic Council.
But for these locals, for those who work at the Magic Council office in the Kingdom of Fiore...
Fairy Tail and Makarov Dreia remain a source of pride and are among the iconic symbols of the Kingdom of Fiore.
After leaving Fairy Tail and venturing into the outside world, Moen gained a more genuine understanding of Makarov D'Arle's reputation, which explains why Laxus was under so much pressure.
"Mr. Dole, please come with us."
After Moen gave his guild and name, the uniformed guys became more polite. They invited Moen into the office and took over the four Dark Guild members.
"Kagayama, Piado, Karaka, Reiyuer, yes, they are all members of the Dark Guild Iron Forest."
After verifying the information, the identities of the four individuals were confirmed, and the Magic Council officially arrested them.
"Mr. Dole, this is the prize money, 150,000 J. Please accept it."
To Moen's surprise, the uniformed guy actually gave him money.
Those four weaklings are worth 150,000 J!
Well, it's not a lot, but it's still a bit of extra income.
Clearly, those four weaklings have criminal records with the Magic Council. The Dark Guild members are indeed no good.
