Chapter 136 Preparing for business. (1/2)

‘There they go…’

It was about ten in theout froe in which his new noble ‘friend’ was occupying This was clear by how close his half-brother was sticking to the carriage

‘What do I do now…’

Roland had a decision tohim The voas ht business it didn’t look like he would go back on it

There were of course ways to break such vows, ones that didn’t result in the vow taker getting any debuffs and curses Though they were extremely costly as they required the help of rare ite betrayed by his brother wasn’t out of the picture just yet

Then there was the probleer sister Lucienne that could find hi an oracle or deviner was not a sure thing yet Many events could transpire during one's life which could take his sister in a totally different direction

‘Does it even matter at this point?’

Roland turned around while heading back into the adventurer guild There was a new thought going through his head, one that would end this all It was just to go tell his father everything and be done with it

At this point, his class path was already cee this situation and force hiht at this point His class was also special, so it would probably be seen as a boon for the whole Arden estate

The proble capabilities were too high He could very well see hi the whole day just to make money for the family

Then there was the whole assassination attempt He didn’t expect his father to do eon monsters

assassination attempts and nobles went hand in hand Unless the heir was set in stone there would be tension between the siblings Some even saw it as a trial between the youths, the one that remained would have proven themselves as the best person for the position

He was not a knight or a e, if he proclaimed that he did not wish to inherit the estate then there was a possibility that his siblings would just leave hi with Robert he saw that there was a possibility of co-existing with his faht be able to somehow move past that assassination attempt This didn’t mean that he wanted to be involved in noble affairs It would still be a big pain in his posterior to have his overbearing father loo involved just yet’

He decided to not reveal all of his cards There was still a lot of time for hi for him it would probably be at least five or even ten years from now If she was even allowed to travel was also up to debate

She was still a woman and in this world noble women had one main purpose, to produce heirs for the h to save her froirls of noble birth were still expected to be e if a woe wasn’t able to produce at least one child There were a few exceptions as always but this required a lot of personal strength

So like this existed for the commoners as well but mostly for the farmer and laborer side The lady adventurers didn’t adhere to these norms and could more or less do what they wished

It was actually quite a coirls that run away frouild offered the risk Not all of them ended up in a favorable position after the years, some even returned back home to live an easier life

‘Glad I wasn’t stuck in a girl’s body when I cauild opened up and a Roland in a set of ar in the city he didn’t care about being seen His brother that he was hiding fro he would try to avoid is being recognized as a noble His reseh differences for most people not to notice Even Lobelia wasn’t able to piece it together so it would probably be fine

“Welco”

Elodia called out to Roland while uildyou around today”

Today was a soned and he needed to start his work Elodia here was to show him the way towards all the affiliated adventurer stores Some of theh the city

“Let’s start with the shops inside the guild”

“Yes, I’ll be in your care”

Roland nodded while Elodia took out some kind of file In it were probably all of the information about each shop

The first one was built to the side of the adventurer’s guild and could be accessed by one of the doors in the back corridor This was also the side that Roland and Elodia made their way in

On the inside, he could see various bladed weapons and armors alike This was the back of the shop so they weren’t as neatly placed or organized He could see a few people carrying these items from here to the front of the shop where they would probably be presented to the buyers

“This is the uild shop, you can co”

“Good day”

A rough-lookinga bandana over his head and had a scruffy beard to go with it

“GoodMr Russel, let me introduce you to Mr Wayland”

Roland looked to the oldhi?”

It was clear that his age would be a proble their first tier, 2 class This mostly happened in their early twenties while at about thirty they would start beco proper masters at the craft

“Don’t worry Mr Russel, when it couished”

“Distinguished?”

The oldand just nodded

“It does look runic…”

It was clear that this man here would not really be able to appraise the runes for their worth He wasaround in the shop

“Mr Wayland is free to take the items from here so be sure to accommodate him”

“If it's the order from the top, then I can’t do ed and finally left to go tend to the shop

“I ize for Mr Rusell’s behavior”

“It’s fine”

Roland didn’t care iven freely After the runese his tune

While they were here Roland picked up one of the blades and looked over it With his appraisal skill, he was able to see the grade and the materials that the iteh forthem up for me later?”

There were quite a bit of weapon and armor parts in here It would be quite troublesoh each one by hi to enchant blades of lower quality or that were o through all of these and pick out the ones that orth investing time into

“That wouldn’t be a proble you the list and you can also give hioods… Or perhaps you could just send someone to deliver them to my house directly?”

Bernir would be utilized as an errand boy to his fullest potential Though now after he also beca him do such tasks It would be much better for Bernir to practice his craft and not waste ti on fetch missions into the city

“House delivery? Think that wouldn’t be a proble down Soon they left the adventurer guild and headed towards the city There he visited a couple of shops and s

‘Not a dwarf in sight…’

The craftsmen and craftswomen were all from other races He wasn’t sure if this was a coincidence or if the guild rasp on this city Albrook was still young; it would probably take a few more years for everyone to entrench the couild could do Not even the dwarven union could just outright ban anyone involved with the guild, they would go bankrupt The dwarves were dependent on the adventurers, ent through weapons fast The ar

Not that this meant that there weren't ways that they coulddown the prices and offering discounts for everything would quickly spell disaster for the guild-owned shops

The other revenue streaanizations They were quite large but with so eons everywhere the adventurers took up quite the bulk of their operation Unless there was soround the union depended on adventurers to sell their wares

Finally, they were at the last store, after this Roland would be finally able to go home and resume his work

“This will be the last spot The person inside is also both an armorsmith and a weaponsmith”
