Chapter 41 Getting a better deal. (2/2)

So Roland about the previous night while the youth answered He gave hie along with the other spell that allowed him to hide in the shadows He didn’t mention that the life detection spell was inscribed on h

“Hoh? Not bad there kid, not bad at all”

The er nodded at the explanation but he was fast to point out the inconsistencies within it

“Detect life? That spell has a lie, to use scrolls for it would be a bit costly…”

Roland remained silent and didn’t really confirm his new class choice His boss didn’t really need to know everything as he didn’t know if he could trust hi

“Think ent off-topic there So, do you knohy they came to that warehouse for a no-na there of value to steal either”

He finally got fed up with the questions and asked directly

“There isn’t?”

The gnome smirked a bit which caused Roland to think that he knew soer finally decided to reply to the question after seeing the youth’s face scrunching up

“We’ve been having proble, shi+pno He also mentioned that this wasn’t an isolated incident and that other stores and establish attacked by an unknown force

“Do you knoho it is? Are they going to do it again? Shouldn’t the city lord get involved in so like this?”

Roland naturally asked as he still feared for his life There was no guarantee that soain

“The city lord Don’t count on the nobles to do anything kid You can stop worrying, I had soain, I can guarantee you this”

Theout souarantee it?”

Roland replied while tilting his head to the side and slightly frowning He still wasn’t sure if he could trust the old h he had been working for him for over a year now

“We will also install a safety barrier around that wareho… workshop of yours… So stop worrying and get back to work Also, you can have these…”

The gnome turned to the side and threo books towards Roland The youth grabbed theh dexterity stat He looked at the two books wondering what this was about His eyebrow shot up slightly the moment he read the titles of these books

The first one contained the knowledge of runesmith skills he already knew It was a ‘Runecraft’ Skill book that would be soet their hands on After learning it they would be allowed to change their classes to runesmith Normally he would be happy about this but he already had learned this skill

The other one was h, the title was ‘Runic ethereal pathways and how to use the’ This one wasname of this skill book he had an idea what it was about This felt like it was a et

Roland looked to the gno with his mouth He was speechless for ahiy and also a bribe Before he could voice a question thethe first one till you were in the later levels but it doesn’t see it anyress so you should read it”

“So you knew?”

Roland asked while grasping the accessory that was supposed to keep his status hidden The guards had taken it ahile he was in the jail cell He had put it back during the way here, did soer search his warehouse?

“I haveyour skills froood price for everything you make, remember that well!”

Roland looked at the two skill books He could throw the able to protect hi but would probably not give him detailed inforh a skill book like this would costit hi for see the defensive a to a safer district would be nome also never mentioned his noble status so the Arden estate probably wasn’t involved This only left a few other options, one being that it was a feud between this company and another force

It would probably be better for him if it was only that Otherwise, it h to send assassins after him That possibility was low if he took out his noble status frouarantee on a contract?”

He asked while the gnohtly and wanted to shout out some profanities at the youth

“You set too cocky!”

“It is because of it that I a I have a nice contract protecting my life Someone once told me that my class was unique and worth a lot Would be sad if someone with a rare class like that just walked aouldn’t it?”

Roland quickly replied while the ly His nose was really scrunched up and the hand that was holding the pipe was shaking around furiously

Roland actually felt so fronome was but he was probably a tier 3 The se the more he continued to stare at hino another reply

“You want a contract, very well! But it won’t be as one-sided as you want it to be!

The lint as he busted out some paper and a pen A strenuous reevaluation of his old contract awaited him He kneas in for a different kind of battle, he needed to see if the new contract clauses didn’t screw hih a lot of books and kne to handle these types of situations He at least had to get a new location for his workshop that wasn’t so close to the slums
