Chapter 144 Work. (1/2)

“You’re a lifesaver Elodia!”

An elf with golden hair could be seen hugging a wolasses that had a stack of papers in her hand

“I don’t knohat I would do without you around”

Elodia took a step back from the overzealous elf as the stack of files in her hand had almost tipped over Soon her co-worker left the area as she had a very important ‘appointment’ with a new admirer

“Yes, whatever would you do…”

Elodia gru at the extra work that she would have to do This wasn’t the first tis to do

If it happened that souildthat she was already on shaky ground since that incident with Armand she would rather not risk it

All of this would take her about an extra hour to finish which was that bad Ever since the guildbusiness the workload had increased

There were a fe hires here and there but it fell on her to show the the top worker had its ups but also had its lows Being the eable person around just made everyone look to her for advice This in effect took away from her oorkload that only stacked up till the end of the day

Knowing that so like this could happen Elodia had already spoken with Lobelia, her younger sibling She would need to take care of the kids till she ca this day as they had recently coeon run

She could re more shouts between her brother and other adventurers took place Armand was still quite hot-headed which caused him to but heads with the other adventurers

He and Lobelia caroup They either went together or joined s hands

Arot involved in any of the better parties they kicked him out after some kind of silly incident The only reason that he was able to soet work done was his skills

Coe he stood out This could be attributed to the way that he grew up and his big sister here knehy

“At least that person can knock hiht back to a certain arer brother Even though he was younger than Armand he was able to come out on top after each clash Now it see around the one that bested hi the last time that she witnessed her new friend at the presentation As expected he looked like a fish out of water, the way he talked to the audience was reet it over with haste but this only e and unique when she compared him to the other people that sheto hide and run away fro that she could relate to as she and her ‘family’ had also moved here to start anew

His existence felt like a bundle of contradictions He see in a secluded part outside the city was logical Then on the other hand he wore quite the set of flashy red ar at the craftset people to look at hiuild were always swift and direct At first, he see her but souild He always sees There were no bothersome questions or harassment like from some of the less stellar adventurers

Then ca In defense of his assistant, he rushed into one of the pubs and beat up one of the infamous adventurer parties The rest was history and her atteo through well

“Ah, as I thinking”

Elodia gave out a sigh while placing so she received and also howthe whole event she could only shake her head

Luckily Wayland did not push for further punishment hich Armand could still continue his work as an adventurer Her hard work to uildfor a raise but noould be hard to ask as she angered the guild master

The hour passed swiftly and the stack of papers was neatly organized to the side They were accounting records of the guild's new venture

Noruild masters didn’t really dip their toes in this line of business Most other guilds only possessed shops with the most basic equipment that only the lower tier adventurers used When they moved up in ranks they all found their own blacksuild master seemed to be somewhat of an entrepreneur He used the fact that a runesmith was also an adventurer and somehoas able to reel him in After the presentation, the runic weapons that were put on the shelves were slowly bought out

At first, the adventurers ary about using untested wares but Wayland’s na known This was mostly spread by the new adventurers that were said to have been helped by hi in good faith some of the adventurers tried the neeapons out The preliood and the runic versions of the enchanted weapons proved themselves to be better than their lesser counterparts They required less mana and were able to produce better effects which was all that was needed

“But will this be enough?”

While the accounts showed the rise in the runic weapons this could not be said for all the other wares The stores were unable to sell ear as the dwarven run shops had dropped the prices It was clear that it had becoh for the new arrivals

Even though the dwarves could get the backing of their union, this was not an infinite resource The big shots would need to actually agree that it hile to invest in Albrook If this didn’t happen the two sides would need to soet back home’

Elodia stretched out as it was finally over While leaving the guild she could see so They all had to spend quite so

There were not irls had to soiven money for the extra hours which hy Elodiasis is back!”

“Hey, what did I tell you about running in the house?”

“He he he”

When Elodia finally returned to her ho one of the small ones with a ladle in her hand She could only sreet her

For a change all of the adults were here at the same tihtly adventures

All of the faathered here, the oldest of the kids was only ten With a lack of resources between the three adults, it was hard for them to spend it on an ascension crystal

She and the others knew that every moment mattered Only when they received a proper class could the kids progress through life Even the siet a way to survive Without it, they would be left to the ether with herself, Armand and Lobelia, there were twenty-three heads to feed in this orphanage This number had been smaller when they arrived here as with time h the dungeon seeet rich fast it was not such an easy task Many people wandered into it without realizing their limitations It was easy to lose your way in the dim-lit corridors and the heat only added to the confusion Many young men and women went in and never came back

This only left their loved ones out in the streets with no way of paying for their lodging fees or food So ones found themselves here while others remained in the streets in hopes of a faster payout

Thethe better parts of the city was a priority but this left h to earn a useful skill that would aid the that they were living in was not in a good state There were holes in the ceiling and so With a lack of tiet this place in order

Armand the man of the house was still iin most of the money so now one could complain but he left it up to the others to take care of the uncomfortable parts

Elodia was saddened by the fact that she didn’t receive a battle-related class She felt a lot less useful as she could not earn asthat ree the fa tricks with her as the class that she received was fashi+oned with this

She would have probably been a perfect headand housework She was good at cleaning, cooking, and economics Her skills let her analyze any faults in calculations with but a single glance Thus she also found herself doing the bulk of the work at the guild as the other workers kneell that she had skills that helped her finish her work faster

“Hey Elodia, take this”

After all of the kids were fed, Ar the dishes In her hand, she saw a crystal, the saet her very own polymath class This class allowed her to learn a lot of skills like accounting and statistics but was not very specialized

“Give it to Rayne, she will soon be eleven…”

“So that’s why you haven’t been co”

Elodia se man moved backith a certain aard expression on his face

“Thank you”
