Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!

What to do next.

[Ace POV],

"They're all dead"

Sir Roland said nothing after hearing what Emma said, instead releasing a loud sigh and looking at the portraits on the floor near us with a complicated expression on his face.

While Emma and Sir Roland appeared to be deep in thought, I looked at them both and spoke to bring them out of their reverie.

"So, what will you say to the villagers?" I inquired as my question was addressed directly to Sir Roland.

When Emma and Sir Roland heard my voice as they emerged from their thoughts, Sir Roland did not respond immediately, instead giving another loud sigh before speaking.

"You don't have to be concerned, young sir and miss," he said, looking at Emma and me before continuing.

"I'll take care of it myself. You people have provided more than enough assistance to this old man and this village, for which I am grateful "Sir Roland said with a bow before motioning to the village headman Tom, who was standing nearby, to come closer as he spoke again after the village headman arrived.

"Take the young miss and sir to the manor to rest and eat," Sir Roland said to Tom, who nodded and motioned for us to follow him.

Emma and I did not object, as Emma mimicked my actions as I bowed to Sir Roland and then followed the village headman.

I was already looking for a reason to excuse myself without causing anyone else to think of anything else, and Sir Roland just gave me one so I wouldn't refuse since I wasn't even interested in what he was going to say to the crowd.

I had better things to do, like checking my primordial chronicle to see what the bell-like sound in my head meant, and Emma could use this time to rest among both of us, as she was the one who used her mana the most and I couldn't give her a basic mana pill from my storage ring because we were in public.

This was also the reason she had to cast spells without her wand because the wand was also in my storage ring. Neither of us expected anything to happen so soon after we arrived.

As I was thinking about these things, we arrived at the manor as the village headman led us into the building, and once we entered under the lead of the village headman, we sat on the chairs offered to us as the village headman went to address the maids to serve us.

Seeing as I finally have some alone time, I called out the primordial chronicle in my head as a panel appeared in front of me.

...…

[Instant Hidden Dungeon: Cemetery Assault],

[Type: Quest],

[Quest: The village has been experiencing some strange events in recent days, as some villagers appear to have started disappearing without a trace, causing hidden fear in the hearts of everyone in the village.

Help in resolving this issue to clear the dungeon.],

[Time Limit: 6 Days: 23 Hours: 26 Minutes: 01 Seconds],

[After clearing the dungeon, the participants will be rewarded],

...…

This was the quest panel and the quest that we needed to complete, and I could already see a change in it, which was that the timer was counting down.

Seeing this, I began to have ideas about the bell-like sound I had heard earlier while dealing with the oil puppet.

As I considered this, I checked the notification that accompanied the bell-like sound.

...

[Instant Hidden Dungeon: Cemetery Assault],

[Type: Quest],

[Shortly after arriving in the village, you came across a disappearance case and using your means, you were able to find a clue and immediately begin the quest],

[The timer begins immediately],

...…

When I saw the texts on the panel in front of me, I knew it was exactly as I had suspected, and that the reason the timer started and the bell-like sound appeared earlier was because the quest had begun, but it appears that this wasn't the only notification with the bell-like sound, as another notification appeared with it.

I was about to study it when I heard footsteps approaching my direction.

Seeing this, I closed the panel in front of me, only to see Emma's eyes return to normal from their blank state.

'Looks like she was also checking her primordial chronicle,' I thought, remembering that I needed to give Emma a basic mana pill to recover her mana.

'I'll give her when we're alone,' I thought as I turned to look at the owner of the footsteps coming our way as I saw two maids approaching with wooden trays in their hands.

Seeing this, I repositioned myself in my chair and nodded to the two maids who promptly left after serving the trays on a little table in front of Emma and me, ignoring the fact that the two maids I saw now were two new faces.

After the two maids had gone, I focused on what was on the wooden trays they served.

While looking at what appeared to be a homemade cookie and a cup of tea on the trays in front of me, I only reached out to take the cup of tea, as Emma did as well, ignoring the cookies on the table.

Given that no one was present, I secretly took a wooden bottle from my storage ring containing the basic mana pills and handed it to Emma, who replied with a soft thank you.

Seeing this, I settled on the wooden chair with the cup of tea in my hand, taking a sip before returning to what I was doing before the maids interrupted as a panel appeared in front of me.
