Chapter 17: A peaceful Night
The Adventurers Guild
Eina, Riveria, Ais and Arthur are sitting inside a private box.
Eina was initially very angry as Arthur come at the end of guild closing hours, she was worrird as they said Arthur would only testing waters today not serious adventuring.
But arthur did a full time adventuring, and Eina's worry was for nothing.
When Arthur took out the bag containing 500 magic stones and 432 Goblins fang, Eina was shocked.
"Did all of you killed monsters alongside Arthur?" Eina said to Riveria and Ais.
"The total slaughter was done by him alone." Riveria said as taking a tired sigh.
"What are your plans? As you already can see goblins fang is a rare drop, and if you hand over this to guild, it won't take an hour to spred the news to whole Orario." Eina said reminding them what kind of place guild was.
The adventurer's guild of orario was famous for selling information. If anybody wants the details of someone they can just buy it from guild as the guild has the whole info of that person, his deeds, his stats, his skills in a logbook. You just have to pay enough price to obtain it.
Arthur said "I'll come back to dungeon tomorrow again and test that if the same droprates are continued or it's just one time deal."
"Now, I want to give you your share. Calculate it on guild's exchange terms."
Eina said, "It's no problem if you give it later. Many adventures do this."
"A relationship was build on trust. I think I'm not that fimiliar with you to trust me that easily." Arthur said truthfully.
Eina smiled after listening Arthur's sincere words. "Allright! 5% of your total loot will be
[{(500×100)+(432×1,000)}×5%]= [{50,000+4,32,000}×5%] = [4,82,000×5%] = 24,100 Valis."
"Is it allright if we paid with magic stones? I want to make something with the fangs later." Arthur said to Eina.
Eina said "no problem" and she collected 241 magic stones from Arthur's loot.
Then Arthur, Riveria and Ais went towards their home Twilight manor.
While they are walking, Ais asked Arthur "What kind weapon would you make with these goblin fangs?"
Arthur said with smile "Nothing. I just want to hold onto the rare drops for some time. After testing tomorrow and the day after, that equal amont of drops remaind then I'll ask Goddess Loki to struk a deal with Goddess Hephaestus for these drops disposal. I think they'll pay much more than Adventures guild anyway, and I'm thinking about a joint expedition with them after I become a level 2 adventuter. They can mine ores, I'll just carry it and take a cut of share.
Riveria and Ais was stunned silent seeing Arthur's observation and far ahead thinking.
Riveria asked " Why Hephaestus Familia though, We can also go for Goibnu Familia. They are also blacksmithing Familia. Besides, most of our member's equipment are made by Goibnu Familia. As you can see the Raiper carried by Ais it's also made by Goibnu Familia. "
"That won't do. Goibnu Familia's main business is custom made weapons, while Hephaestus Familia is big enough to use my daily loot everyday. Besides, That Welf guy is from Hephaestus Familia and I want him to make another, 20 same type of swords for me." Arthur explained his reasons.
Ais said "But why that Particular blacksmith? The blacksmiths from Goibnu Familia are also good enough to make swords like this."
"I've heard his name while shopping. His full name is Welf Crozzo. Now did it ring something your mind?" Arthur said while smiling at Riveria.
Riveria's eyes widen hearing the word 'Crozzo'. How could she not know the cursed Name? Because of them Elven forest and elves have suffered enough in the hands of Ares Familia. That cursed blacksmithing family who were blessee with making magic swords. But after destruction of the elven forest the blessing broke somehow and they can't make magic swords.
Arthur continued "That guy Welf knows how to make magic swords but refused to make them, he detests his crozzo bloodline and want people to recognize him as 'Welf the blacksmith' not because of 'crozzo magic swords'.
Riveria said " So, do you want to approach him because you want some magic swords?"
Arthur looked at Riveria " Do you still think I need a magic sword after having Excalibur?"
Riveria nodded her head "Fair point."
"What I heard, that is his skills are pretty good for a blacksmith but because he refused to make magic swords on demand, he is detested by most of his Familia members also his customers." Arthur explained
"You seemed to fond of his works though."
Ais said as she remember first thing he asked at blacksmith shop was Welf Crozzo made Items.
"That I am. His workmanship is good and the balance of the swords is perfect. It's hard to believe that these are made of a level 1 blacksmith." Arthur said as he handed over the Swords to Riveria and Ais respectively.
They also tried and find it hard to believe that these swords were made by some novice blacksmith.
When they returned the swords to Arthur, he said "Now you know, right."
They just nodded. What can they do, they live in Orario and don't know this small thing.
But your planning and utilize your magic and skills are really surprising. We, our Familia only want you to carry our foods, loots, and tents etc. We totally forgot that we could co-operate and mine ores all we want.
Well let's not talk about this in Familia, first I'll confirm if my unbelievable luck continues or not then we can discuss about this in Familia and ask for Goddess Loki's help.
As they pass by 'Hostess of Fertility' Arthur asked? "Wanna grab a bite?"
They looked at each other then nodded at Arthur's invitation.
Thankfully that horny Goddess isn't there to annoy him. Arthur enjoyed his dinner with two beautiful women accompanying him while Ryu was the one who was serving the food. A bonus indeed.
