Chapter 205: Trouble already?

“Everyone listen up, ill be arriving at the rendezvous spot with the rest of the caravan, you have one day to rest before we set off, you won’t be paid if you don’t show up in the uard leader shouted out while standing really close to Roland This caused a somewhat sleepy barbarian to wake up Both her and Roland were still stuck on the large cart that carried a portion of the uards

Grisalde was her name, at the start of the journey she was quite loud But after a few hours of the bumpy journey, she had fallen asleep While Roland had a skill that kept hi asleep he was convinced that the woman had a secret skill of the reverse effect He could not i stuck in such a confined place

“Huh, what? Are uard leader returned to the inside of the wagon he was riding while Grisalde had woken up Clearly, this woman would be susceptible to sneak attacks luckily there were enough scouts and archers to signal if so feature to scan the area for potential enemies

‘So this is where the rest of the adventurers are supposed to join us?’

“Halt, let me see your papers! … I see, it’s Mr Reye his tune fast after the merchant’s name was mentioned He could also see that a few coins uard This was quite a typical scene as searching through the wagons was souards were supposed to perforhtly different rules for any contraband Nor process of frisking, then if soiven a fine Thus even if they were clean it was better to bribe the guards that could make life hard for the contraband during the searches In this one, they found an occult relic that caused the et a death sentence The item used was then found out to have been placed by a couards

This world was really cutthroat when it came to money, his little squabble with the union didn’t sound so bad At least they didn’t use underhanded tactics like that, otherwise, he would have probably had to leave the city he was in a long tio

“damn, why is my ass so numb, I need a drink!”

After they were inside the city the barbarian woon quickly made her way towards the first tavern that she saw In the contract, they had signed the adventurers were free to wander the cities as they were there to fight the et any coin unless they arrived at the last destination and had the iver quite a bit If the merchant decided that the adventurer didn’t do their job properly they could withhold the uild workers would start to see if the claiuild could blacklist a ht to withholdto fork up the silver coins, they could not be forced The blacklisting wasn’t the end of the world but the adventurer in question would not get paid Souild covered some of the expenses but that also depended on the adventurer’s rank This was also one of the perks of having a better rank as the guild tended to side with their high rankers over theearly in the !”

While everyone dispersed into the city fast Roland was left wondering where he should head out to Most of the silver ranked adventurers ca solo The city he was in was mostly a hub of commerce, the merchants just unloaded their wares into the auction house or the merchant union warehouse There it would be sorted and distributed to various stores

‘Should I visit the auction house or get so as for the first ti to do Back at ho or doing a quick dungeon run

‘That person will be arriving in theso I don’t need to look for theo to an inn first before all the roo for a while he decided to search for a place to stay first With this being such a busy city itHe did not want to spend his night in a barn with so able to afford coone, this time around he would live his life a bit more

Thus with a slow step, he went towards the city area while also being sure to note dohere thespot would be With time he also hoped to i able toabout the size of the ed up all the space in his runic ite like a compression method for the data was needed

‘I could also try storing it on an external runic drive or soeon exploration or have the golem do it instead…’

Even while in a new location his head was filled withdown, he could finally start innovating Goleoal but only a part of his arsenal that he could expand

‘Maybe I should ni when I’oing to reach tier 3 in some time He can use attack spells himself so some barriers to cover his weak spots’

Roland could already i in fireother eleni had his true growth spurt he could fashi+on hi a possiblearound, he had found an inn that looked passible

“You don’t have any rooms?”

“Sorry sir but you’ll have to look elsewhere”

To his surprise, he was unable to get a room for himself even when he b-lined it for the closest inn he could find When looking at the guests he noticed a sular citizens and not adventurers A thought crept into his mind but he could not confirm it yet so he headed to another establishment

“Ah, I’m sorry we are all out of rooms, have you tried the Black Rose Inn instead?”

Soon he visited a second and a third inn which caused him to believe that the people in this city didn’t appreciate adventurers too ular adventurers would be willing to pay

‘Are they afraid that adventurers could cause property dauild here either…’

While in a city with a proper adventurer guild they would have no choice to house the rowdy daredevils, in ones like this it was somewhat a risk Adventurers tended to not be the educated sort that resolved most of their proble that they would be turned away if there were other clients the hotels could house instead This city had a lot of e supply of people with deep pockets that didn’t have battle classes It seemed that he would have to look towards the lesser establishments that did not have a problem with adventurers like him

‘Next ti the city, I look like so out of one of the places that he was refused he could tell that the regular folk were looking at hie man dressed in shi+ny arave him the look of someone that shouldn’t be crossed, the innkeepers also seemed nervous when they conversed

‘Can’t really blame them…’

Adventurers were a rowdy lot, hts which meant property destruction Most of the time after it was over they would just flee the scene while the guards were too lazy to chase after theh with some destruction when he beat up the party that hurt Bernir Luckily for the tavern keeper, he received enough money to cover the destruction

It seemed that he would need to lower his standards and seek another location The people kept bringing up the black rose inn so after asking for soht him to a louder part of the city where he could already see sohts

‘So this is it huh…’

The sign was indeed a black rose, but one of the chains holding it had broken and the paintwas quite large though and without even entering he could already s him to turn around but if he needed to find a place to stay for the night Luckily due to his i people averted their gazes when they saw hih sense not to try anything with an ar a sword on their side

After arriving inside he quickly looked around to find the inn keep There was quite a lot of space here that wasaround circular tables Cheap booze was being served even though it was the middle of the day In the back, he could see a set of stairs that probably led to the rooms that could be rented

“What will it be?”

“Are there any free rooht, if ye want food with it it will be five”
