Chapter 157 Runic Emporium. (2/2)
“Aye, you come up with a name for it yet?”
“Nae wooden entrance door There he saw nothing besides the brick wall, soon he would need to place a sign that would give the people an idea about as inside
He also intended to put a sign at the road where the adventurers were heading towards the dungeon It would point theh-quality runic itee all the way fro orb that he also intended to sell for a hefty sus, he hoped to include a s system that would work soh he needed to figure out a different way of keeping track of the person holding it Maybe in the future, he could build sonals and helped hieon but that would need to wait
“How about we just call it the runic shop?”
“Eh? That’s a bit too sirand like the Godly Runeforge?”
“Runeforge? It’s not a forge, it's just a store for runic items…”
Roland went back and forth with Bernir as his assistant was resolute in giving the store a good name Roland on the other hand didn’t want to be too cheeky with the na idea
There was still a need for so the people over with an idea in their head that they would be getting souess… ‘Wayland’s Runic Eh the shops in this city and the others he noticed that everyone seemed to put their na that would encoe of runic wares than just armor and weapons
“Emporium?”
“I know, it's somewhat small to be called an E?”
Roland gave Bernir a pat on the shoulder while heading out of the store It had a large reinforced door that was hard to close due to its weight
“Now comes the hard part…”
There was still some time before this place became ready to receive customers First, it needed to be furnished and he needed to place so shi+ny behind those reinforced s that could take a gunshot
Then the next iht people to work here He was slowly running low on funds but he was able to sell some protective trinkets down at the black market
Due to his ers would be the correct way of proceeding there The black et the base materials for his wares but not for hi
Instead, he chose to buy sooldsmith and place some barrier runes on them While they wouldn’t last much, they would be able to protect the water froet the sign done”
“Thanks, I’ll head to the city”
“Take care”
Bernir and Roland parted ways, Agni was left behind to cho hisit wouldn’t be long before he could advance to a tier 2 stage
What Roland was setting out to do today was to find some help for the store Elodia was still someone that he would like to hire but he didn’t really have time to pay her another visit Today would be the end of the deadline
If she didn’t want the position Roland would be forced to place a job offer and try to hire someone adequate for the position of the shop clerk Elodia was a good pick for him as he hoped that she could take on tasks that requiredable to sell
He needed someone to take care of the books and also hire other staff meer status than an actual seller In his hand, he had two pieces of paper, one a job offer for a shop clerk while the other for a guard
While he was pushi+ng on with his gole perfect He needed more time before he could place metallic protectors around his land Thus the best option was to hire so tasks like this and didn’t require as uards
There was also so that was a require He knew very well that if a person was fed through the day they would so for that advertised item While there was no internet or TV in this world, there were banners and signs
Most of the people in this world didn’t really know the proper way to advertise They usually just placed signs outside of their store and picked names associated with the items they sold in their stores Outside of this, they sometimes placed one person outside of the shop to shout at the people passing by
This was soeon was free of pesky taxations so he could place a nice large sign pointing towards his hoirl to point the adventurers in the right direction would seal the deal
His name was already known so he just needed to eht about ical items, he wanted the first though…’
He looked at the adventurer guild that he was standing in front of and slowly entered Inside he could see a plethora of people going back and forth There he saw his favorite guild receptionist that he used toNow on the other hand he h her side as it went by much faster
As always there was a little line that he needed to go through This was so that he was already used to so he just waited withoutmuch of a fuss Then before it was his turn a little scene unfolded
“Hey can’t you give me a better price? These mana stones should sell for at least a few more coppers”
“Sir, as I’ve explained The prices of one down this month if you look at the price board…”
It see to explain to an adventurer that the rates for mana stones were down This was a norh the month They had been on a somewhat decline the more adventurer parties for in a livable wage
While normally Elodia was so such matters, today she looked a bit more annoyed With his now sharpened senses he noticed her eyebroitching a bit as the reat here so Roland could only iine how bad the h and after some back and forth the old adventurer decided to take his o He didn’t look happy and he displayed it by spitting to the side on the floor
It was finally his turn but before he got there he saoetup as Elodia approach her from the back The two started to whisper between each other and the other girl seeetic for some reason This was followed by more eyebroitches from Elodia as she turned to face him
“Ah Mr Wayland, how can I help you today?”
While she was holding it back Roland could tell that she was angry He didn’t really feel like it was his place to ask her about her daily life so he decided to go hat he rehearsed earlier today
“Um, yes Did you think about my offer Ms Elodia? It’s still open, it would be…”
Before he could continue and list so his employee, Elodia decided to slam her hands on the counter and look at him ide eyes
“I accept!”
“And I could offer you a free… huh, you accept?”
He was baffled by her reply and this was noticed by souild Mostly her co-workers looked at her in astonishotten his second worker, now together with Bernir he would have two people to command!
