Chapter 158 Foggy future. (2/2)

“Why you little shi+ts!”

“Cal married, Mr Wayland just offeredis set in stone and I haven’t left the guild yet!”

She had to slaht froainst Ar brute always cah so she was more worried about the two half-beast boys

“Wouldn’t it be fine though?”

“H, would it be bad if you ?”

Elodia replied to Lobelia that raised this question after finishi+ng her meal

“What would you want that bastard to…”

Ar

“What’s the probleo out theif big sis got together with hi at Lobelia that was at a loss for words It looked like her little sister was mostly interested in Wayland’s monetary value and not really the person behind it

“He isn’t bad looking, is tall and has o for hirinned at Elodia showing off those pearly whites It was clear that she raised this in atone but as soon as she did the two half-beast men jumped into the conversation

“No, you mustn't!”

“Ye, you can’t do that!”

Lobelia just gave out another sigh as the people in the rooain It was clear to her that her younger sister should realize the feelings of these two boys before she ever thought aboutanyone

She had to worry about her own future though Her younger sister for soood idea to switch professions and that Wayland would bea lot of ical ite in a lot of ated to large conglomerates like the dwarven union and forced like her to work long hours

Maybe it wouldn’t be such a bad idea to sign up with someone like that, he certainly looked like he was driven by soe of a s Wayland with her and the kids popped into her head She wasadorned one of her fingers

“What a about?”

She quickly shook herself back to reality and looked over to Lobelia that was egging Ar and help me clean, all of you!”

‘Well, that went better than expected’

Roland was back at his house and looking at a stack of papers Since he had been eh it wasn’t that hard to formulate his own

People in this world worked a lot longer than in his previous one No one really ith the eight-hour workday and free weekend variant here People were lucky to even get one day off in a week

Due to this the workforce was mostly populated by men while the women remained at ho see to be both the man of the house and also the mother

Not like that was his probleood contract that would put too reed at the moment he wasn’t so sure if she was truly convinced yet If the contract wasn’t good enough he feared that she would go back to the guild

“I don’t really need to keep the store running for the whole week…”

Roland felt that the e and that the adventurers would wait for the right product He did not want to be stuck around his workshop for the entire week so closing for the weekend was so that he wanted to do

In those two days, he could do other things like visit the dungeon to level up and gather more resources With the store open he felt like he needed to reoods

The first reason was for safety as he wasn’t sure if anyone would come to cause trouble He could see people like the dwarven union hiring thugs to go mess up his store Bernir on the other hand said that the dwarves would probably not do so s in a non-business way While they were fine with undercutting prices, buying out land and stores of their couild

Roland on the other hand was noorking together with the black market merchants He had even spoken with Lobelia and her two friends if there was a way to guarantee that his business would not be targeted by higher-level thieves

The people that attacked his home while Bernir was houild They were apparently just passing by and wanted to escape before giving the guild in this town their cut

There were actually soe rules between these thieves If a person frouild cas to the guild in town Of course, they could try to skip town but would be put on the blacklist and hunted down if they ever returned to the city the guild was placed in

Not everyone agreed with the ways the thieves’ guild did their things and a lot depended on their guild master Thus soroups and were seen more like bandits

To his surprise, Lobelia mentioned that there were soetting proper protection frouild uild o speak with one that was probably a tier 3 class holder and unhinged froive hiuild ood to hire souild as protection

They would be able to uild and tell hi froe to the half-elf and h he wasn’t sure if he could trust any of the sister works here, Lobelia will be ht, he looked at the plans of his shop While it wasn’t that big at the moment and not that many items would fit into it at the moment, there was roo of his fence so that he could build in more sections later

This would of course depend on his ain but he hoped to add h space, he could place iteory, arical runic bathtubs in the other With enough tiical store that was siard

While he did live outside the city boundaries this didn’t mean that he wouldn’t need to pay any taxes Just like anyone else in the city he would need to properly register his building

Thisprocess that required a lot of paperwork but it didn’t There were no institutions that checked if the building was safe to work in and if there was a fire exit

Here a business oas only required to pay a flat sum each month that was proportional to the store size Once per year, a person wouldn't be tasked to go over the iteers

There was a require sold but it was not as detailed as it was back in his old world While there was soh to try and cheap out on the kingdo taxes and withholding inforlad I have someone like Elodia to help me out with that part Hope those pesky dwarves finally leave ave out a sigh while returning to his planning, when he finally got Elodia to sign this new contract he could shove some responsibilities on her shoulders as his were already so under the stress
