It was hard to tell at first, but over time, the Lipon was taking damage from the fights and usage over time. Sol simply didn’t notice because the Lipon without any elemental weapon active had no status page. It was only until the maximum durability of the elemental weapons slightly decreased did he notice the problem.

The two made their way to the guild, which was packed full of adventurers. All the lines were ridiculously long, and even after the guild set up a few temporary counters, the lines weren’t decreasing anytime soon.

"Ahh, guess we’re gonna be here for a while."

Based on how packed the capital had been since they got back, Sol knew it didn’t matter if they came at a later time. Choosing one of the lines for quest turn-in, the two queued up and hoped it wouldn’t take long.

The line moved at a slow but steady pace. Thirty minutes later, it was finally their turn.

"W-welcome, how may I help you?"

A rather young receptionist attended them. From the way she spoke, it was clear she wasn’t used to speaking the rehearsed lines yet.

"Hi, we just want to turn in the gathering quests for Necropolis. A couple of times if possible."

"Sure! Just take the items out here so I may inspect them."

Sol hesitated, "Are you sure? There’s quite a few."

"Of course! I can handle it."

Sol nodded before proceeding to take out material after material from his spatial ring. What the receptionist thought was originally going to be 10-20 items quickly began to pile up. When she turned to see Sol’s face, she could tell that the adventurer wasn’t going to stop anytime soon. In fact, he was taking out items from the spatial rings faster than before.

"Wait! Wait! That’s too many!"

The pile of soul shards, dark essence containers, and shadow roots took almost all the counter space and was in danger of spilling over. Even the nearby adventurers and other receptionists stopped their actions to look over at the absurd amount of materials.

The young receptionist was, needless to say, overwhelmed by the pile of items and didn’t know where to begin counting and processing them.

"I- uhh…"

"I’ll take it from here, Lily."

"Ingrid!"

The young receptionist was saved by a mature woman with sharp eyes who came over when she noticed the disturbance.

"Good Afternoon, my name is Ingrid, and I will be handling your quests and other matters today. Please follow me."

The overly professional attitude threw Sol a bit off. It was normal for receptionists to be professional, but not to this degree; they mostly dealt with rowdy adventurers after all.

"Okay, thank you."

After stuffing everything back in his spatial ring, Sol and Amber were led to a private meeting room within the guild building. They sat around a large table and were served refreshing drinks by a guild employee Ingrid summoned.

"Please take out all the quest materials."

Sol nodded as he emptied out six cubic meters worth of materials. The majority of the materials came from looting the large group of adventurers, but almost an entire cubic meter came entirely from the two of them. As they went deeper every floor, they found more and more materials to gather, and there was no reason to not collect them.

’This will take a while…’

Sol took a sip of his drink as he let his mind wander until Ingrid was done.

"104 soul shards, 68 dark essence containers, and 38 shadow roots. That will allow you two to turn in the three gathering quests a total of 104 times. You’re one short on turning in another soul shards quest, but considering the total amount, I’ll consider that one complete as well, coming to 105 quests total. The total quest reward is 3920 gold. Would you like them in gold or platinum coins?"

Sol almost spat out his drink in surprise for two reasons. The first was the total amount of gold, especially because he didn’t even sell all of it. They decided beforehand to keep 10 dark essence containers for Sol’s Lipon and the void root to hopefully commission something incredible. The second reason Sol was surprised was that it only took her a single moment to calculate everything.

"Already?!"

"Yes sir, would you like them in gold or platinum coins?"

Ingrid didn’t treat it like a big deal and continued with her job.

"Umm, can I have 1020 in gold and the rest in platinum?"

"Of course. Do you have an empty ring I could deposit the coins into, or would you rather it be given in a pouch?"

Still shaken up by the amount, Sol’s hand unsteadily handed Ingrid one of his empty rings.

"S-sure. Here you go."

"Thank you sir. I will be back with your reward promptly."

Ingrid stood up, gave a polite bow, and left the meeting room. The moment the door closed, Sol let out a large sigh.

"Almost 4000 gold…"

Amber tilted her head, "A lot?"

He looked at her with a ridiculous expression, "Amber, we only had 50 gold when we first came to this city. Even after we reached floor 11, we could barely afford better weapons for the both of us. With 4000 gold… I don’t even know how to spend it all…"

"Oh."

’She really doesn’t have any concept of money…’

Sol was about to try explaining all the things they could buy with that much money, but the door opened and Ingrid came inside. She walked towards Sol and handed him the ring.

"Inside the ring is the total quest reward, 29 platinum coins, and 1020 gold coins."

"Thank you."

Sol stood up, ready to head out but was called back by Ingrid.

"Please wait a moment. There is still one more matter to discuss."

"Huh? Something else?"

Ingrid nodded, "Yes, would you please recount the events that took place between your party and the party of Urian Stillmore in the Necropolis dungeon?"
