Chapter 221: Mission debrief
A gentle breeze flew past his hair while he glanced into the distance The ru of the horses had already calmed down but the conversation he had with the inquisitor felt like a dream How could such a person have appeared before him just like that and be involved with his father Wentworth Arden?
His father was a fah hty he still looked like someone in his late forties The increase in his levels allowed him to keep his body youthful and battle-ready
The inquisitor seee This was even harder to pinpoint as besides having a high level he was a Paladin that had contact with various divine artifacts and elixirs that could prolong one's life even more In which conflict the two had ether
‘Did they take part in some skirmishes with other cults in the past?’
Roland tried to think back to some conflicts in the past that his father could have taken part in and where the church was involved in Yet while he was conte rowdy
“Did that Inquisitor wipe his ation skill?”
Orson asked while Darlak quickly replied while the two stared at Roland
“Did he? Not like he talks a lot, to begin with, just give the lad some time”
His stoic responses were already known to the adventurers but after seeing hiy it wasn’t surprising An inquisitor picked by the church had certain skills that could force people to talk In their eyes, the inquisitor had interrogated Roland by the use of soe
“Did his brain turn to ic items if he doesn't recover?”
Asked Senna which caused Roland to furrow his brohen looking at the halfling
“You know that I can hear you, right?”
Senna just s away as if she was scared Soon everyone looked toward their temporary leader It was clear to him that they wanted an explanation but he surely would not disclose that the inquisitor knew his father or that he was a noble It wouldn’t be hard to lie about the exchange as everyone had preconceived notions about the people froolden order
“I don’t know, he used so that I re away”
“da what they want”
Grisalde’s loud voice was heard by everyone as she slaon The others could just nod at the explanation which h? Maybe the ruerous were false?”
Orson co between Roland and theus into the dungeon, I don’t know about you but I’m famished let us depart toward the city”
Darlak said while looking toward Roland It was as if he aiting for a confiro, those soldiers were probably sent here by the merchant”
“I hope that bastard still intends to pay us!”
This ti with Grisalde nodded at each other while agreeing The two didn’t seem to like each other but when it careement The other participants fro to tell them twice, they all soon departed towards the city of Reeka
Thus they finally arrived at their final destination This city was a h which h They would stock up on all sorts of ite in vast amounts of profit
A nearby port with access to fast shi+ps added to the city's prosperity but this was not all This area was purposely created in a place a dungeon had sprung up which hastened the progress and made a lot of money flow in for the city’s develop the city gates they could see the results
“So this is Reeka the city of merchants?”
“Did it have that naht up the na out alone, you’ll probably get scammed by some whores like last tiain!”
“I’ll stop bringing it up when you stop acting like an idiot, why did I even decide to join you two simpletons One is a drunkard and the other is a pervert…”
“A dwarf is not far away frohed fro and didn’t see called a drunkard
“This place is run by the uild if you askout of you if they can…Then there are the nobles…”
Roland was on the side listening to the banter between the two adventurers It seemed that this was the first tiathering type that knew a few things about the island they had arrived on
This was nothing new to hidom for a few years already This city was a bit siard but instead of craftsht in money and exotic wares
“Halt! Let ate the soldiers asked the the impromptu leader Roland had to deal with it Thankfully the city had been alerted to the cult dra and he only needed to show his adventurer card to explain himself
With the help of smaller merchants that had also survived the journey, it didn’t see with the soldiers the large Valerian noble crest on the entrance gate didn’t go unnoticed This was a large city that brought in vast quantities of money, this money could be quickly spent in the auction houses that the noble fa the truth, ill escort the carts to where they can be examined by the merchant in question, it would be best if you report to the adventurer’s guild and inforh, with this their journey was als needed to be ironed out
“We need to s out with thatif he did not leave anything behind Besides the satchel filled with soic crystals and his notes he still had his runic weapons The staff he used was recovered but had been bent out of shape His ar theskill but he would still be able to protect himself
“They better, they should pay us double for ent through”
Grisalde said with a grimace on her face, even now the barbarian was unsure about being paid Darlak that alking behind her and chuckled
“You’re a big dreae friend!”
“Shut up dwarf”
‘After a contract is signed there won’t be any increase in the wage even if the adventurer suffers greatly’
Darlak was telling the truth, the only way of increasing the payout would be to make a custom contract This document would require specific clauses to alter the a Contracts like that were not made for short expeditions like this, they werethe job
It was a harsh world whereto help each other out Even if the adventurer perished during the iven to their fa faher ranks could they hope for better deals
