These were the conditions to fulfill the first quest. In many games I have seen that the first quest mainly includes gathering work but for this game, the first quest was the hunting quest.
The screen was flickering infront of me and I was standing with my hands in my pocket looking at the screen.
I had to start it someday, so why not do it today.
For the final time I looked at this beautiful village, who knows if I don't return alive.
As soon as I finished reading all the information on the first quest, I walked towards the entrance—which was also the exit of the village.
It was an enormous gate made up of wood mainly.
It's design was similar to that of most of the gates. It was a double doors one. The doors were also of wood of dark color with light colored stripes in vertical formation.
I found someone familiar there, someone I didn't expect to see.
Elwyn, his wife and his daughter.
Along with them there was a creature. It was standing on two legs and it's body design was like that of a raptor dinosaur.
It's head had hairy combs and it's eyes were purple in color and it's body was somewhat of light blue color. It had a brown leather saddle on it's body and it's tail was long and at the egde were some hairs.
It's claws were yellow and long. It was around 2.5-3 metre tall in height.
It was one of the most domestic creature found in the area of Forest Elfs and they called it—Dila.
It was often used for transport purpose.
Elwyn, his wife and his daughter waved at me.
With a warm smile, I waved back at them.
I didn't understand what they were doing there as Elwyn told me that he had some important buisness to attend.
I walked to them, looking at the beautiful sky and Dila.
Elwyn asked with a big bright smile, his both hands on his waist, "Are you going to leave now? "
I nodded with a smile and replied, "Yeah."
The little elf girl walked to me and grabbed by top with her tiny hands and spoke with teary eyes, "Big brother, aren't you going to stay a little more with us? "
I looked at her with a smile, bent down a little and replied, "I have no where to go you see, after I finish this buisness of mine, I'll make sure to come and see you. So don't worry, after this, we will play a lot. "
The mother walked to me and she was holding something. It looked like a tiffin to me wrapped in a lime colored cloth.
She gave it to me and said, "If you feel hungry during your journey, feel free to eat it. "
I smiled back at her and while holding the lunch box I replied, "I'll make sure to eat it with kindness. "
She smiled and said nothing.
And then I looked at Elwyn who was patting the neck of the Dila.
I walked few steps to him and asked, "I thought you had a buisness to attend to. What of it? "
He looked at me and replied, "This is the buisness I had to attend. "
I looked at him with confused expressions and asked, "What do you mean? "
With a big smile he replied while patting the neck of the Dila, " The buisness I meant was to arrange a transport for you. Well, my wife had already made some food for you and that was not what I planned. "
I replied back while scratching the back of the head, "You didn't have to do such things for me. "
He shook his head and replied, "No, of course I had to. You are the one who saved my daughter and my fellow villagers. If not me, then who'd do it for you? "
I was speechless. I just smiled and nothing more.
After few seconds of silence, he said to me, "Well, you might be getting late. We three wish you best of luck on your first quest. "
I bowed and replied, "Thank you for all the things you had done for me. "
In panic or in hesitation he waved both his hands, not even him but his wife too and Elwyn said, "No, no. Please don't. It should be us thanking you, not you thanking us. "
It was an awkward moment for both side.
And so I had to break it.
I replied, "Well then, I'll take my leave. "
Elwyn asked me, "Do you know how to handle a Dilo? You see, they are really difficult to handle. "
I replied, "Oh, don't worry about it. There was a deep explaination in the webnovel about riding a Dilo. "
Elwyn smiled and said, "Well then, goodluck, my friend. "
I replied, "Thank you, I'll be back soon. "
To ride a Dilo, it's pretty simple. You just have to pat their neck few times before riding on them. And when they feel friendly, hop on them and they will let you ride. But if you showed any amount of roughness, they will become hostile towards you.
And so I first patted his neck 3-4 times and I hopped on it.
To know if the Dilo is friendly or hostile is simple too. If it's roar the moment you hopped on it, it's friendly. But if it's run and crashes into things to make you fall down, it's hostile.
And when I hopped on it, it roared and my journey as a Cursed Player finally began.
