After Zevien flew out with Vernisia, they continued flying until they were five kilometers away before stopping.
"The magic quest has been established. Let me check," Zevien said as he checked the established magic quest in his head.
*****
[Magic Quest Established, Cleaning of Vile Evil]
-Ufar House has been exploiting all border villages and subjecting them to slavery for their work. They are doing the same to neighbor kingdom Muriak's border villages and keeping this fact away from that kingdom by bribing dukes who rule the borderlands.
-The people in those villages are treated worse than animals and are always in constant danger. Save them!
-Task 1: Kill all guards stationed in border villages. Leave no one alive.
-Task 2: Notify the neighbor kingdom about the Ufar house, which will give them a reason to go to war against the Amorph kingdom and uncover the hidden scheme.
-Reward: A random chain and other rewards from the Muriak kingdom.

Zevien was surprised. This quest was the biggest in scale so far.
"What is the quest?" Vernisia asked as she saw his surprised expression.
Zevien explained the quest to her. After understanding everything, Vernisia nodded and took out the map.
"There are thirty-six villages in Amorph kingdom's borderlands," Vernisia said, and then fell into a thoughtful state before she frowned. "Zevien, we have to complete this quest before we leave the labyrinth. If we just kill the guards but fail to notify the Muriak kingdom, they will trap those villages once again and become more cautious."
"We have around five hours…," Zevien muttered as he also took out a map and looked at it a few seconds before turning to Vernisia. "We have to work separately if we want to complete this quest before the deadline."
"Yes," Vernisia nodded as she summoned Lynn and got away from Zevien before sitting on Lynn. "Let's start without wasting any more time. You will take the northwest's thirteen villages, while I will take the northeast's thirteen villages."
Zevien nodded before he pointed at a spot on the map and showed it to Vernisia. "Let's meet here after cleaning those villages."
"Alright."
*Swoosh…*
Both Vernisia and Zevien separated and flew in different directions. Working separately was the only way to complete the quest in time.
…
After three hours, they had killed all guards in the border villages. They tried their fastest to complete this. Also, since these villages were near the border, the news wouldn't reach the Amorph kingdom's capital anytime soon.
Zevien and Vernisia met at the place they decided after finishing task 1.
"We have two hours. Let's quickly go to the Muriak kingdom's capital and notify their king," Zevien said as he and Vernisia started flying toward the Muriak kingdom.
The map they had was only of the Amorph kingdom. However, it did have the location of the Muriak kingdom in the north.
After flying for twenty minutes into Muriak kingdom's border, they encountered a town and went inside to buy the Muriak kingdom's map. These maps of kingdoms were very rough. They were not detailed regarding landscapes and such, but had rough locations of their towns and villages.
After buying the map and getting the location of the Muriak kingdom's capital, Zevien and Vernisia quickly flew there and arrived after flying for 30 minutes at their full speed.
"This capital town is bigger than Amoprh's capital town," Zevien said after entering the capital town with Vernisia.
On the way, they saw small water streams flowing inside the town. These tiny rivers were three as the river entering the town separated into three streams before joining together at the other end of the town and exiting from there.
"There should be a sea nearby if there's this river," Zevien said.
"It's so clean and filled with fishes," Vernisia smiled.
After crossing the river bridge and walking for a while, they arrived at the center of the town, where a big castle stood majestically.
"We have some important news that must be relayed to the king," Zevien said after getting blocked by the knight guards who guarded the gates.
"You can't meet the king directly," the knight guard shook his head as the metal helmet made a slight clank sound. "You can meet the Castle Minister and tell him the important news before he relays it to the king."
"This news affects the life and death of a kingdom," Vernisia said with a somber expression.
Hearing her, the knights were startled. "What do you mean?" the lead knight guard asked in a severe tone.
"It means exactly what you heard," Zevien said with a serious, straightforward expression. "There's no deep meaning behind it."
Of course, the knights assumed that the life and death of a kingdom were indicated to their kingdom. Alas, it was about the Armoph kingdom. Naturally, Zevien and Vernisia didn't clarify it and purposefully said it like that.
"We can't tell you the news precisely because it's a life and death matter for the entire kingdom," Vernisia said as she narrowed her. "If I tell you here, and the news gets leaked, do you know what will happen?"
*Gulp…*
The knights gulped and quickly moved away.
"Please follow me. I will take you to the Castle Minister. My position is not enough to get you to the king directly," the lead knight guard said.
…
Afterward, the lead knight guard led Vernisia and Zevien inside the giant castle, and after walking for five minutes and taking some turns, they arrived in a small hall where the Castle Minister was sitting on a chair and speaking with some people. He didn't look toward the lead knight guard even after he entered the hall.
"Minister, these two have some important news that can affect the life and death of the kingdom," the lead knight guard said in a serious voice.
"What?" The minister, and the rest of the people sitting on the chairs, turned their heads towards the knight.
However, when Zevien and Vernisia looked at a person among the guest, they were shocked. 'What is she doing here?'
They glanced at each other with a brief shock before quickly returning to normal.
Shockingly, the woman at the forefront of the group was none other than the eldest princess of Amorph kingdom, Princess Nerissa!
Zevien and Vernisia still had their heads covered by hoods, so Princess Nerissa didn't recognize them yet. She and her entourage just looked at them curiously after hearing the words of the lead knight guard.
