Chapter 53 Packing up. (2/2)

The whole illusion world then broke down after a few hours when Roland destroyed the runic device She found herself on the ground with a small headache Only after that did she realize what occurred and that enemies were nearby

Her boss had activated one of his ed the assailants in battle Her co-workers like Zirion were alerted by her boss with a sort of panic button device that was there, the rest was now history

“Hah, you think a bonus is enough?”

Roland clicked his tongue but he stopped hiue with this woman that could probably cut him up into thin slices in a uard and without her, he would have been dead “That doesn’t nome anyway?”

He looked around, he could see that besides the group of guards there were other people here He could even see his own halfling assistant oods outside,somewhere else

“The Boss? Oh, he isn’t here, he should be back at hisboss hiht, he was ready to blow a gasket Have never seen so many veins on someone’s forehead before”

Roland eyed theone of his eyebrows She didn’t look that distraught after facing off against a tentacleassassin woh judging by the fact that she was uninjured This ht have indeed just been the usual for her

“Back at his htown”

Zilyana explained in a feords where exactly the gnoo and coet back to his workshop as he left his contract and soive you a big pay raise, you did save his ass~”

She gave hi words while Roland just stared at her without any emotions in his eyes

“Yeah, I should probably ask hiivearound, he didn’t care about getting any raises in his wages The only thing he wanted to do noas to get the proh he could get even more than that

Zilyana flinched at theher hands around at Roland that had turned around

“No don’t do that, hey this big sis here saved your life I really need that money!”

“I saved your life first”

Roland said while waving goodbye to her without turning around He couldn’t see the moon elf's expression too much but not like he cared that otten involved in some quarrel between two overpowered factions

He had coet away from the bloodshed He just wanted to be left in peace and practice his craft, he hadn’t even gone out to killhe did was soht that he had been too naive There was no way someone like him could make it on his own like this It didn’t ood for if anyone could just waltz into your honouard couldn’t protect hith…’

He stopped in front of his workshop while thinking He had alreadythis city In his o, he wouldn’t be able to achieve this here He needed to take things into his own hands and get stronger

He opened up the door to his workshop, before that he deactivated some of the runic traps he had set up The doors and ere now rigged to electrocute anyone that tried getting in here without hiured out ways to activate and deactivate some of the runes s like ns with the sockets and e, but with a mana stone that filtered and stored soe theh his workshop, it was a place that he stayed for over a year Again he would be unable to live in one place for long He lasted a couple of years in this city but the easy life was now over He needed to set out into the world and get stronger, only then would he feel confident enough to settle down

The biggest problem was his class and hoorked He could see hiainst monsters but at a price His class only shi+ned when he was using runic equipment and that wouldn’t last forever

He already knew that steel weapons and aret around that by repairing it but that required a place to do it This meant that he needed to find a neorkshop, buy new equipain more experience

For now, he went to his bedroohtly and it began to shi+ne The ground rippled for aa cos behind an illusion rune This rune causedthe hidden latch under the bed

He pulled out the chest, in it were soold and materials In one of theer It stated that he would be givenon the severity of the attack

“Bet that gnoainst hiold coins or 10 regular sized gold coins This was quite a staggering nuular family life for over five years That is if they didn’t spend it on anything other than taxes and food For hi workshop, it wasn’t thatthat he needed and started to even place all of the tools that he used fro He even tossed the anvil inside but would be leaving the smelter there as it was connected to the wall

Roland wished that he could just toss his entire workshop into his bag and just go but that would be a pipe dreaical devices that could support a s like that would be what a country like this earns in a year ora hidden workshop sos like this existed in the es used and were a lot cheaper to manufacture Still, he would probably need to wait till he was at least tier 3 for so like that

He had stuffed all of the ites and had thes in one another as the ics in thelance at the place that he lived and gave out a sigh Roland didn’t want to leave but he didn’t see a good reason to stay here

He took out a lanced at it He had marked a couple of places that fit his requirerowing cities with a lot of opportunities He had researched thes like taxation, population, and even by what noble was running it He couldn’t go into any lands owned by his own fa

This only left a couple of places for him, he would need to decide on theer He placed his coat back on and didn’t bother to activate the trap runes in the building, he wouldn’t be returning here anymore
