Family Crest || Quest
Sooner than anticipated, the tasks completed by Hiketsu on a daily basis changed from being intriguing to being completely mundane, leading the adventurer on a path of boredom. It was time to step up the game and buy a weapon that would allow him to defeat actual enemies and at the same time have an impact on the world. On the other hand, he couldn't afford a weapon unless he completed more of these annoying tasks and that's what pushed him to grab yet another job announcement from the board dedicated to average adventurers. On this occasion, his client was not a former page in the Rune Knights, but an authentic Seated Knight. By researching him a bit, he found out the following. Known as Joachim throughout Era and among the page regiments, he was a young Seated Rune Knight who often spent his time scouting through the town, looking for anyone that needed some help. His reputation and fame was built on helping citizens no matter their background and showcasing a good heart in the process. Some pages even went as far as saying that Joachim's blind obedience of the regulations was both his strength and flaw. Nonetheless, an interesting character. After meeting with the knight, Hiketsu received a brief summary of the situation. It seemed that the Messer family crest has gone missing, and the family honour had been lost. Joachim was tasked to retrieve it himself, but unfortunately he was also scheduled to raid a dungeon soon, therefore he needed someone else to take care of the case. He handed Hiketsu a piece of paper with the family crest drawn on it. It looked like two swans entangling their necks and judging by the shading, they could have been made of a rare material of sorts. Finding the missing family crest was now Hiketsu's responsibility.
