Chapter 162 Time moves on. (1/2)

“That will be all for today, you should go over the research ain Also, don’t forget to catch up with the basics my friend”

“I will, until next time”

Roland turned off the co cat was displayed The exchange between the two had been going on for several months but he still had sooff the crystal ball Roland looked to the side There on his desk he could see a large stack of papers, books and scribbles This was all the research material the cat professor had dumped on him

‘He really did send h the es, Roland had continued to i snippets of knowledge for himself Finally, for one reason or another, his associate decided to just give him all of the basic rune-related acadees

This was quite a pile of knowledge and it required several gale birds to deliver for a span of a month Now he had a coaps in his runic comprehension

It see questions every tiet through the fundamentals first before their partnershi+p continued

While Roland was knowledgeable with the outer runic components at this point in ti Most of the ti code that he discovered in runes and then hoped that it would stick

All of this researchand teach his of the runic code It was quite a stack of papers to go through but luckily with his increased intelligence and his newest skill that allowed hih it fast

“Hey Boss, I’ll be heading out for tonight, see ya in the et in trouble”

“Hah, when did I ever get in trouble?”

Roland rolled his eyes while looking through thethrough which he could see Bernir His assistant was using his newly gained raise to go to town and have a good drink

It was probably not the only thing that he would be getting there but not like Roland was interested in Bernir’s nightlife As long as he returned when it was time for work, then all was fine

A feeeks had passed since his new store opened for business and business was booh lower level ic equipeon, these iteot lost in the process of huntingused up quite fast So the repairs preferred to just put so it for a month instead

It turned out that there were far many ular weapons were easy to find it wasn’t the sa So on the first day, he was able to get rid of all the old stock that was piling up in his workshop Even with the lowered prices, he was able to ress

Elodia was doing a nice job at selling and presenting everything to the new customers He had written down all the various runes that the items came equipped with and she was able to learn all of the uses of the iteht through the first day as if she knew that there would be such an outcry for the ic weapons

Even Roland needed to coet in He clearly underesti for under the nized fro to sell the items in different cities due to the dwarves

Since everything was going well, Roland finally decided to raise Bernir’s wages by a bit Even though it wasn’t thatof Elodia both of them had the weekdays off while the store was closed

While both of his workers would have time to spend their hard-earned rind He needed to inscribeon his gole his own business he realized that being a regular e the owner of a new shop forced him to work even harder if he actually intended to be successful

While Bernir was in the tavern getting drunk he would be going through runic diagrams and lists of components While Elodia finally had some time to spend with her fa away on the new goles instead of four

“No rest for the wicked, huh?”Roland gave out a sigh but he was so content with this new situation While he was not so keen on working for others it wasn’t the sa was under his control and depending on the circumstances he could always decide to take a break when he wanted to

While it looked like he was beco shackled with his new responsibilities he could not be any freer There was no debt holding hi that he could apply in other places Even if this little business fell through he would still be fine, all thanks to his hard work he had gained a skill that could not be denied by others

This didn’t mean that he intended his little venture to be a failure Growing dungeon cities like this were quite rare and he would not be able to fight against monsters like the dwarven union in cities that they had a stronger presence in

“Before I forget…”

While Roland ended his call with the ic cat he still needed to stay in touch with the person that introduced him to it This person’s naious count fa Sir Ro… I , hope I didn’t call at a bad tie he still urged her to call hiical instru by the fact that they had so between them it was possible that it could be intercepted by a third party

“The Professor has been talking fondly of you, I never seen hi about someone else!”

“Huh? Are you sure that you weren’t talking with so cat?”

Roland was a bit confused as the cat never shi+ed away fro him how incompetent he hen it came to the basics All the questions he posed were answered in a ss that ht lad that he was given so e he hoped that the cat would finally get off his back

“You hed a bit while looking straight at the crystal ball before her The picture that he was getting on his side was distorted in a sort of fish-eye lens way This ave hi in

It was clear that she had relocated froht up a question in Roland’s ht training?”

“Ah, glad that you brought that up, Sir Robert has left for his hoht already be there”

“By home, do you mean the Arden estate?”

“Yes”

Lucille nodded while Roland h theand towards one of the h the clouds

His ice e friend was not aware of this but Roland was still worried about the family situation With his acadened a proper position somewhere
