Chapter 69 Getting a house. (1/2)

The doors to the adventurer’s guild swung open and aa helandine arraves and leather boots in a similar dark color

Under it was a thinner piece of cloth ar its job a bit too well as underneath that hel eon will be a lot war rune ina low profile was harder than he expected He wanted to hide his face but the weather was against hi a skill that increased his heat resistance In a city with a dungeon that sprung out from a volcano, it wasn’t such a bad idea

‘Either that or I could put a heat resistance buffing rune on it’

He had gone through Edelgard’s stores throughout that year and a half Each week he would pick one store and scribe down one of the lesser runes Fire and cold resistances were quite common, they were the first that he procured from the armor runes

He had also recreated the schematics for all the other elemental resistances, even the rarer ones like poison or curse resistance The runes used on arer structure wise but there was a lotthem

Roland felt like he could take care of this heat probleet a house first In it, Roland would be able to craft his items in peace

This was easier said than done, first, he needed to find the correct location After asking around he was on his way towards the town hall There he would be able to look at the locations that he could buy or rent

He preferred to go with the first option but depending on the prices he o with the second There were pros and cons for each of the two options

If he decided to rent the home he would probably be li the cellar and sih the real owner of the house Depending on who the oas he et evicted for no reason whatsoever

There were also so out the workshop He would be able to leave at anymuch money If the Abyssal Cult showed up on his doorstep, he could just abandon shi+p There wouldn’t be rabbed o with the other option, buying it fully for his that he would want to install into his neorkshop He needed freedo hiood spirits, for now, houses in this world didn’t cost that much compared to his old one The nuet hih for some renovation

Just like always, he took his time The toas new to hilanced to the left of the street he alking along while passing so back and forth slowly, the people were clearly busy working

He could seeplaced in front of old buildings that were in the process of getting renovated He wouldn’t be surprised if the old villagers that lived there were all bought out by larger merchants

From what he knew there were some farms here and there There was also a lake froot s were used to make a profit here The farmers would probably be able to sell their lands for a lot of coins whilesomeplace else more quiet

The new city would take some ti close to it that was free to build on could be used for houses for the merchants and adventurers The city needed specialized s and personnel as well

While glancing around he finally reached the town hall building It was right in thewaswas quite large and it had a cross gabled roof In thea couple of ti in and out of it Roland didn’t have that much experience with state officials He ard he also was living through the company that paid all the taxes and took some of that away from his pay

‘Can’t be that hard, probably will have to sign a contract after seeing the houses That is if any proper ones are still left behind…’

There were already a lot of people gathered in this city He didn’t have to worry about the adventurer’s buying of land as they didn’t operate that way On the other hand, the et their hands on the best places He wasn’t looking for anything fancy but he needed it to be big enough for hi”

He gave out a sigh while walking into the building On the inside, he could see so around with some papers in their hands There ooden benches to sit on and even a smallthat looked like the spot where a receptionist should be

Roland walked over to thatand waited for the person in front of hireeted by a hu in there

“How htly monotone, she sounded a bit tired which was understandable This was the place where everyone that wanted to get their hands on new real estate had to go through He wouldn’t be surprised if the people from Albrook weren’t understaffed

“Ah yes, I would like to purchase some land with a house, best if it’s…”

Roland started talking, he gave the wo should have and also the price range he was interested in The receptionist lady just nodded and handed him a piece of paper with some places to fill out

“Please fill out this form and then move to roo urged by the receptionist to not block the way After nodding he moved to the side, there were so out si down and taking a quill into his hand His class was scribe so filling out so was also nice

On the piece of paper, he needed to fill out what he wanted while also listing down his identity He ith his new adventurer name, he also wrote down the diet his adventurer card first before finalizing everything but for now, he could at least look at the available buildings

The wait continued even after he was done with the paperwork He needed to wait in front of the roo things like smartphones or even a radio Only silence and the footsteps of people were heard here with nothing of the sort being available in this world

“Welcome to the city of Albrook!”

He was now finally on the inside The room with the number 3b was quite small and the person that was inside fit it The wo at had a siuild that he avoided She earing glasses and a tight business-like attire that fit a corporate settingdifference between this wouild This one was a lot shorter, she reached up to his belly button at h heels She was of the halfling race and was more or less a miniaturized human This race had huular humans

“Here, I’d like to purchase some land I’d like to see what you have available…”

He sat down opposite the small wolasses a bit before going over it, her eyes squinting here and there as she looked over it

“Mr Wayland is it? I’ll have to go through our book, please wait a moment”

The small lady moved down from her chair Roland tried not to stare tooas the chair looked like one h ones that so table
