Chapter 223: The Artificer Guilds Supply Of Resources (1/2)

At the side of the tavern, Lucius and Kiana exited out of the hidden hatch in the stables.

”Will it be fine leaving them here?” Kiana questioned.

”We'll just post some guards here the entire day with some excuse. Hm… get some random criminal get caught nearby, which should give us enough excuse to post guards here to keep watch.

That way they won't leave and make contact with others.” Lucius answered.

”Alright,” Kiana said before gesturing to the carriage driver who was looking at them from the distance.

~clack~clakc~clakc~

The carriage came to a stop near them, and the two of them boarded it. Kiana first talked to the driver and gave him some instructions before they left the area. They came to a stop near one of the patrol points, where the carriage halted for a minute.

The driver spoke with one of the guards, who nodded his head and spoke, ”it shall be done. My lord.”

With that done, Lucius and Kiana swiftly returned to the reeducation center. Changing back to normal clothes, Lucius entered his lab and took out a sheet of paper, and started writing a letter.

~thud~

Five minutes later, he was done and then stamped the letter with his seal.

”Send this to the Artificers guild. Hopefully, we get the needed rune crystal by tomorrow.” Lucius stated.

”Alright.” Kiana replied.

Since the artificers worked nearly all day round, the artificers' guild was one of the few places in the city that were open 24 hours a day. It was not uncommon for them to receive requests from their artificer in the middle of the night because they got some epiphany about a theory or had a breakthrough about something.

While there were also some artificers that just stayed there the entire day and worked all night. Lucius was sure that they wouldn't mind a request, which just made them more money.

Though for outsiders the supplies from the artificers guild cost more than what it would cost a member artificer. The extra cost was usually adjusted and varied depending on the item that was requested.

Right now, Lucius could bear these costs since he wasn't really buying much from them. But he was sure that when he started buying things in bulk from them, the extra costs would start to pile up.

This just gave Lucius an extra reason to become an Artificer and get their membership. With that in his hand, it would become far more economical for him to buy supplies for them. While he did have Gellor and his team, they were more suited for obtaining specific resources that were either too expensive to buy directly or were simply not available.

Right now Gellor and his team were out hunting the Stampeding bulls and would return soon according to the plan that Lucius had made.

”So many things to do, so little time…” Lucius muttered to himself, wishing that he could split himself into multiple clones that could do more work.

There were actually spells in his past world and individual abilities as well that could do this, but Lucius couldn't actually use them here. The problem being that those spells were of a very high level and Lucius never actually got to take a proper look at them.

He didn't know their spell matrices, nor did he know the more detailed requirements for them.

~Sigh~
