Chapter 82: Royman Mardeel
On a warm afternoon in Orario, the Guild buzzed with the sounds of adventurers returning from the Dungeon.
The sun was slowly setting, casting a soft golden glow on the majestic building. The Guild was where adventurers reported their expedition results, took missions, or simply sought information.
As Charlie entered the Guild, he immediately drew the attention of many.
The men weren't interested in his handsome face, but they couldn't take their eyes off Aishia on his back. As for the women, especially the Amazoness race, their eyes sparkled brightly.
Used to being the center of attention, Charlie calmly walked towards the reception desk. As usual, he chose Rose Fannett.
"Hey, Rose, long time no see."
"Oh, you're still alive? After eleven days of not seeing you visit the Guild, I thought you were dead."
Rose's response to him was as rude and curt as ever. No, it wasn't just Charlie, she always displayed an unfriendly personality towards any male adventurer.
Therefore, not many male adventurers wanted to deal with her, and tended to choose friendly receptionists like Eina, Misha, Sophie, and others.
"You even remember the number of days since we last met, I'm so touched."
"Tsk, your mouth speaks sweet words so naturally. I don't know how many women you've fooled. Unfortunately, it doesn't affect me."
Realizing she had revealed her mistake, Rose covered her embarrassment with mockery while glancing at Aishia.
Although they had only met a few times, the other party had left a deep impression on her. Rose was actually worried about Charlie's safety because he hadn't been seen at the Guild for eleven days.
"Well, I just came back from an expedition. Rose, I want to sell the magic stones and drop items I got during the expedition."
"Hm? Expedition? Are you serious?"
Hearing Charlie's explanation, Rose looked at him incredulously, thinking she had misheard.
"Yes, that's right. I managed to reach the Middle Floor. I wanted to enter the Deep Floor, but due to an unexpected situation, I had to settle for an expedition up to Floor 24."
"..."
Rose fell silent and didn't know how to respond.
Not only her, Sophie beside her heard Charlie's narration, she put an expression of disbelief on her face.
A Level 2 adventurer doing a solo expedition up to Floor 24?
Who would believe that absurd story?
"Facts speak louder than words. Take me to an empty room, I'll show you my loot."
"Follow me. If you're lying, I won't forgive you."
The confidence Charlie displayed made Rose temporarily suppress her doubts.
Then, the three of them came to a room usually used by advisors and adventurers to discuss.
"Use this room."
Crossing her arms in front of her chest, Rose was still skeptical. After all, the other party didn't seem to be carrying anything.
"..."
Under her supervision, Rose saw magic stones and drop items coming out of the satchel in Charlie's hand.
"T-This..."
Instantly, magic stones piled up the size of a small hill, almost filling the room, and various drop items numbered at least a hundred.
"How much money will I get after selling all this?"
"How is it possible for such a small bag to hold all this?!"
"This is a spatial storage device. This bag has a small dimension inside it."
"So that's it… Wait a minute, I can't count all this myself. I'll call someone else."
Thinking she had to check all the magic stones in front of her, Rose's scalp tingled. It would take a whole day if she did it alone.
Not wanting to work overtime until tomorrow, she went out to call her colleagues.
Shortly after, ten Guild staff entered the room. When they saw the pile of magic stones, they showed the same shocked expressions as Rose.
This event even reached the ears of the Guild Master, Royman Mardeel.
Royman was a fat Elf with white hair, green eyes, and short legs. His fat also made his height appear small. He wore a black suit that was of much better quality than the other Guild workers.
"Avalon-sama, is it true that you possess a spatial storage device?"
As the Guild staff worked hard to check and count the magic stones in the room, Charlie just stood and watched while carrying Aishia, who was fast asleep on his back. Suddenly, Royman approached him with a respectful and polite attitude.
"Check it yourself. Channel your Mana to use it."
Charlie gave the Space-Time Cache to Royman to check for himself.
"This is truly a spatial storage device!!!"
Royman couldn't hide his astonishment after verifying the truth himself.
Reluctantly, he returned the Space-Time Cache to its original owner.
"Hmmm… Avalon-sama, can you tell us where you got or bought that bag?"
"I made it myself."
"R-Really? A spatial storage bag made by Avalon-sama?"
"There is no lie in my words."
"So that's it."
Seeing that Charlie didn't seem to be lying, Royman could only believe him.
Spatial storage devices became one of the dreams of craftsmen. Whether it was Dwarf who specialized in forging, or Elf who were known for their high affinity with magic, the idea of creating a spatial storage device had been around for a long time. However, no race had managed to realize it.
Because of this, Supporters were greatly needed every time adventurers entered the Dungeon.
"You want it?"
Guessing the other party's thoughts, Charlie asked with a slight smile.
If only measured wealth, there was no doubt that the Guild was the first in the world!
Top Familias like Loki Familia and Freya Familia still lagged far behind in this aspect. Moreover, other Familias.
His goal wasn't just to show off the Space-Time Cache, Charlie wanted the Guild to know and buy it from him!
"Let's talk in another room."
"Sure."
"Please follow me, Avalon-sama."
Royman treated Charlie with even more respect. After all, the other party was the only person who could produce spatial storage devices.
After that, the two of them began to discuss. No outsiders knew what they were talking about.
The discussion only lasted about 10 minutes, both of them came out with satisfied expressions.
"Here's your money. A total of 56 million valis."
"Thank you, Rose."
"Hmph."
Not wanting to talk to Charlie any longer, Rose left.
"Charlie likes that woman?"
Aishia's voice sounded flat without any jealousy.
"It's not what you think, Aishia. That woman… Rose Fannett is the first Demi-Human I've talked to, that's all. I have no ulterior motive, my conscience is clear."
Walking out of the Guild under the envious gaze of male adventurers, Charlie put Aishia down.
"I'm hungry."
No longer discussing Rose, Aishia rubbed her stomach.
"Now we're rich just by going on an expedition once. Let's treat ourselves occasionally."
"I want to eat good food."
"Okay, let's eat at the Hostess of Fertility."
"Mm."
Charlie and Aishia walked hand in hand, holding each other tightly.
