Chapter 108 Another expedition and preparations. (1/2)

“You want me to be a babysitter?”

“Hah, that's what I like about you kid, you catch on fast”

Roland was rubbing his te themethods to the mana alloys and to the special smelter in front of him The horrendous price seemed like it was just an excuse to shove a particular mission on him, one that involved the nobles

“This mission isn’t even that hard kid, you just join the expedition and protect those snooty noble brats”

The guild master had already revealed what he wanted Roland to do In a roup of noble youths would arrive in this city These kids were members of influential noble families that studied at the various noble acadeht acadeo to when he was still living at the Arden estate He wasn’t sure if it was exactly the sadoht acade nobles over though It was a joint venture with thethe older students had to do when they were close to graduation

The academies would send them out to do eons for a tied It was soe where they needed to prove that they could fight under pressure

This dungeon had not yet fully been explored but the levels could be rated The first ten levels were good for anyone to get the hang of it The level Roland had been venturing to was also rated as so that silver adventurers like him would be able to handle No monsters above the 150th level had been spotted which was the tier 3 barrier

“Why do you want me to be there? I’m sure there are other adventurers…”

“Hah…”

The guild rin subsided

“I wish that was true but you recall our little Armand?”

“Yes…”

“He was actually someone that was more dependable than , how could he be…”

“Think you two got off on the wrong foot, he is surprisingly dependable when it co”

Roland didn’t reply to that as he started weighing the options It seeuild was still not fully operational If they were then this guildhim to take on an i about noble children here They were the future of their houses, if so the mission then their heads would roll He would need to risk his life to protect those young brats on the off chance that a unique monster appeared

“You worry toointo the volcano area Those brats are there to gain some battle experience, they will also have instructors from the academy with theuide the?”

“Can’t hide anything fron up for this mission or cover the costs for the items you want instead”

“Let me think about it…”

“Sure, you have a week, those noble brats will be arriving in a month but before that, I need to have the team ready”

This was understandable, the mission was quite important so the participants had to be picked wisely There was always a certain ratio that went into a party of adventurers The basic co with backline supporters like archers A healer would also be needed but those were hard to come by thus most people used potions instead Then there were unique spots occupied by classes like es that could fill more roles

“I understand”

After souild s he needed to think about The et involved with the nobles

While heading houild ic crafts the conversation that having someone there that could repair runic weapons would be handy He would be also responsible for certain heatequipment that would be used

Roland also proved hier than Armand, as close to the 100th level This would put hiold rank adventurers that had to have a minimal level of 100 and capped out at 150 Past the 150th level was the tier 3 bu that a person was able to advance from Gold to Platinum rank as an adventurer

The mission was to venture below the labyrinth where he battled the Ruby Goleions for a feeeks It was supposed to be a test for the noble sons and ladies that the acadeanized

Down beloould also need to answer to the nobles The group of adventurers as he had uides and alsothey were required to use their bodies while the nobles escaped This was only if there was so went as planned then it would be a very boring feeeks in a heated dungeon He would only need to ether with the other adventurers work as a lookout Yet because this was a iven by the nobles he would receive ato pay a lot to have their kids protected There would also be a Platinu which made Roland consider thiswhat he wanted, with the new technology he would be able to create a co with nobles that he wished to avoid

The responsibility seeh but the job looked to not be that hard He had already ventured into the dungeon many times and the tier 2 monsters weren’t really a probleerous butHe would need to take orders from noble children and act as a chaperone

‘I wonder how those brats are doing…’

While walking through the city he started thinking of his own family He did have three brothers and sisters, with just one sister being younger than hiest child in the fae from his previous world he would be the oldest

‘I bet they don’t even remember how I look by now’

It had been many years since he had left that estate and was successful in slowly ce his life here He didn’t feel like a noble any Roland still felt a bit guilty about the lie that he told to Lucienne but the girl was really young back then, only three years of age The possibility of hi iht large silver coins”

Roland placed so at his coin purse There wasn’t that olem toy and then further house renovations he was slowly becos that he received froard had also dried up Most of it went into the house renovations and deep steel that he used for his runic aret his hands on thoseschematics he would probably need to take the job or wait soest downside to this was the possibility of the offer not being on the table down the line

He knew that these sorts of things were kept hidden fro spread around The possibility of so up on the auction was low He would need to visit the blacklike this and pay a preuildhim

“I think you should take the offer boss, dwarven knowledge like that ale”

Roland was now back at his own house Both he and Bernir were down in the Runeforge crafting soht up this with his assistant as he also needed to know about this

“You think so as well, huh?”

“I know those old fogies, they would never sell outside their little circle…”

Bernir replied with a somewhat annoyed tone Roland knew that the half-dwarf had a run-in with many blacksmiths and they all denied him entrance He kneell how this race liked to keep their secrets hidden and only allowed the techniques to be passed on to true dwarves
