On the city streets, just like before, Clarice went up to me and handed me 2 pieces of paper.
One was the note for my next mission, the other was a voucher for me to claim my reward for killing the Baron.
On the note, in a perfectly cursive handwriting it said,
____________
Congratulations for completing the tutorial.
Please use the voucher to claim your reward.
Part 1 (Lust) of Mission: The Seven Royals
Task: Kill Countess Maria
Reward: ???
____________
I already knew what was going to be on the paper, but seeing it in person made me fall into a state of euphoria. Seeing my creation in real life felt very good in an unexplainable way.
After staring at the notes for a while I read the voucher. It said to redeem it at a bank.
I was already near the bank, so I quickly paced towards it.
When I walked in, I immediately handed the voucher hastily to the woman at the register and asked me if I would like to receive the gold coins all at once, or keep some at the bank.
I asked her how many gold coins I had and she said, "150 gold coins sir."
"I'll take out 10 for now."
She handed me 10 gold coins and I walked out of the bank.
I got a 50 gold coin bonus for killing the Baron during the masquerade ball. It was a risky move, but it was worth it.
This would be enough for me to get a place to stay for a month, and I would still have plenty left over for food.
