Chapter 20 Looking for Work. (1/2)

Roland woke up the next day earlier than expected, the sound of carriagesfilled his ears The residents in this city started the day a bit faster than back in Carwen They also made a lotmetal even frolued shut, he was a bit groggy the fatigue froo away just yet He someholed out of his bed and went out of his room There wasn't really much to do there and he could just carry his stuff in his spatial bag

He had his breakfast which tasted bland as before, the co besides salt and pepper The sirl was up and about today He decided to try not to buain as she looked easily irritable He needed to inspect the new city, besides this inn and the adventurer's guild, there were other interesting places to see

First, he decided to find hieneral store that sold iteet himself some paper or blank scrolls made from monster skin He wasn't sure which ones were better but it would probably be easier to draw on paper than rough scrolls He kept looking around quite curious about the people living here He had been in this world for al was already over half a year The adventurers were a peculiar bunch but he found theers in this world though Bandits and et yourself a death sentence if you buh position Luck was on his side as besides that one encounter he had ed to fly under the radar This was probably thanks to the adventurer party he had joined, the three girls were quite cautious in their hunts

He didn’t show it back then but he noticed that they were different froroup They didn’t wander into the deeper parts of the Dungeon even though they should be strong enough He had reason to believe that they weren’t willing to go there with a child-like hiet about the recent but now old days He needed to get soeneral stores He entered inside and could hear a bell ringing the moment he pushed the door open

He could see so at the ite display cases They had items placed in the akin to s

There were some bookcases placed at the walls and some decorations in the foreneral ites like potions, scrolls, and even provisions here

“Good day customer, feel free to look around the store”

He heard so out to hientle with so a heavy apron over his regular clothes with so out from the pockets

Roland nodded and moved closer to the display cases He could see so systeendary Here he found h

‘Oh, they do have some scrolls here!’

In one of the display cases, he saw so at had a mana arrow spell inscribed onto it He looked at the price and saw that this one went for one se su the price to monster kills

He reasoned that it wouldn’t be hile to kill a goblin with this spell scroll unless you were getting ameasure then it wasn’t that costly

He looked further and spottedsold The next one in line was a fire arrow spell scroll This was a direct upgrade fro this scroll had to be a e

The cost of this spell was triple what the inferior one cost Roland was a bit surprised by it only being this much, he was inclined to think that this spell should cost a lot more It was always best to ask when you had so so he looked at the store owner and gave his question

“Excuse me, why does this fire arrow spell only cost three small silvers when it’s a tier 2 spell while this mana arrow spell costs 1 small silver?”

The store ownerat and then gave the answer

“Even though it’s a tier 2 spell it isn’t thatthese scrolls and materials If it was a fireball spell it would cost about six small silver per scroll”

“Also dear custoet identified by a professional that can distinguish their true attacking value An Arch-e could very well create a sier than a fire arrow spell, it all depends on the personit”

The shop oas quite happy to explain while taking out one of the scrolls and showing thes just as the runes They were a bit different as the deter factor was not hoell they werethe creation process The people hest and they were checked by a special device before a price was assigned

“I see, thank you”

Roland nodded and wondered how high his grading would be if he wrote down his own ence and e so he should be able tomore questions Roland went around the store and found the things he was looking for He found so et hi paper

From what the shop owner said, these were the cheaper options as the ic paper was made from some difficulty to come by wood In contrast, eons and were a good renewable resource

The empty scrolls came in bundles of ten and they were close to the size of A5 paper Thisthe spells he was going to write on theer spells required larger scrolls but these were enough for tier 1 and tier 2 spells

The ten blank scrolls cost hie copper coins apiece So if he ed to sell them all at the price of theone s any ic ink into thea job now If he worked for so costs and he would be still able to earn experience points while getting paid

“Excuseshops nearby?”

The shop owner gave Roland the location of the nearest store but he didn’t know if they were recruiting He bowed respectfully to the , the man had been really helpful

His next destination was a place called, Exeor’s Magic Eic shops in the city and was apparently owned by soe the person was but he was loaded

Roland was slightly worried that he wouldn't be able to get a spot in the workforce Mainly due to his lack of elemental affinity He wasn’t sure if he should disclose that he had a more advanced version of the scribe class to people he didn’t know either The mana arroeren’t really a hot commodity froe three-story building, it had the nan on it was composed of two potions on the side, a scroll in the h the out of the ordinary

‘I guess this is it…’

The first thing he did was to see if there were any job listings hanging outside the three-story tall building He didn’t find anything like that so he decided to step inside The doors were a bit peculiar as they didn’t have any handles but this mystery was resolved quite fast as they opened by theot there

On the inside it had a sieneral store he visited before There were display cases with various ical items scattered all over the place He could buy spell scrolls just as in the previous shop but they had a lot more variations He checked the naely sier spell scroll section of the shop, there were various spells here Like fireball spells, lightning bolt spells, freezing cones, and various others He wasn’t looking for those though, he was interested in so else He finally arrived at a smaller section that was further in the back, it was the ‘Runic Spell Scroll’ section

There were actually few and far between scrolls in this section They looked a bit dusty as if no one had picked them up in a while There wasn’t ular scrolls They looked more like an exhibit than actual items for purchase He leaned in closer, interested in what type of spells these were

‘Runic Orb of Light spell’
