Chapter 259: Family dinner. (2/2)

Elodia nodded at Roland’s question while she turned towards Marcie as if she was pro

“It’s fine, you can say it just like we practiced”

“Hirls who quickly turned away It was clear that she was about to say soot scared This caused Bernir to burst out in laughter and was followed by Dyana s rude”

“Ow, that hurts, why did you do that woain?”

“Uh…n-no…”

Bernir looked at Dyana’s rathera blacks hammer It was quite funny to see the boisterous half-dwarf shrinking back after getting smacked but it also made Roland appreciate the relationshi+p he had with Elodia While he soht taps she lacked any physical strength to cause any pere On the other hand, he wasn’t sure if there wouldn’t be any long-lasting dae if Dyana continued to punish Bernir with those et used to it… Marcie said that she wanted to create fliers or new paiven to the merchants to other cities”

“Hm… actually, that wouldn’t be such a bad idea”

“See, I told you that he would like your idea”

Elodia smiled at Marcie who took a quick peek at Roland’s face before turning back to her plate of food In reality, Roland had already been deliberating on such aof his wares It would be si to entice business owners to buy ites were usually quite vibrant and contained pictures of the merchandise They had short descriptions of each ite and easy to read If Marcie got her skill level up she would probably be able to copy his writing that they then gave to anize the stock and examine the market outside the city…”

“I knew you’d say that, so I’ve co to a large notebook that was sitting on the cupboard

“What’s that?”

“Why don’t you take a look?”

They were still eating but they were not nobles There was no real rule against talking or doing other things when around the dining table Roland never really cared about such things so people knew that he wouldn’twhat looked to be a thick notebook he exas of sooleone into this and it was clear that she had been going through this for a while

“I decided to organize our wares by o to bed~”

“This is… how long did it take you to make this? I could have at least helped you with the pictures…”

“You’re already busy with your oorkload, this is the least that I can do”

Their eyes met and ti things for hiht have looked like so trivial but to him, it counted Yet the mo followed soon after

“ACHOOO!”

“Hey, why did you do that, you oaf?”

“Huh, what? Hey, stop hitting me already!”

The one that released a loud sneeze was of course Bernir He had been eating a bit too fast and his bushy beard tickled his nose His as grinning hile looking at the pair of Roland and Elodia but now the romantic scene was ruined

“Ahh… I re…”

Elodia went red in the face and quickly escaped to the kitchen area She was not the type of person that liked showing affection outside of the bedroo her for it was always fun Only after she had cooled down did she return with a bonus plate of roasted chicken legs that he was then forced to devour

“Jorg had been also working hard, weor lay out the yard with bricks”

Soon the conversation shi+fted towards the other child, the half-dwarf Jorg There wasn’t really h soht up some issues that with his help they could alleviate

“You want to teach him how to make bricks?”

“Aye, we’ll just need a proper furnace, the brick mixture shouldn’t be hard to come by we can use the one I’ with Roland Bernir had gone through a lot of jobs It wasn’t hard for hi their work In this world they used special clay that hardened under heat to produce bricks What Jorg would need to do was to prepare this clay h a ical materials added to these er

“Does he think he can do it”

Both Roland and Bernir looked towards the half-dwarven boy that quickly nodded It was clear that the youth wanted to prove himself just as any other With his class, he would have an easy ti the ”

“Okay, you can goclean, if you run out of space you can use the workshop”

“See, I told you he would agree to it”

Jorg tried hiding the sigh of relief after getting the news Bernir had probably scared hi this to be a hard sales pitch to his new boss Roland on the other hand didn’t h which they could build better walls or even create a better path toward his workshop Perhaps in the future, he could have a road leading through the entire forest that connects to the main road This would surely attract the eyes of the richer folk

Withworked out between theeon once more Yet as supposed to be another uneventful expedition would be a bit different this time around…
