The Man Picked up by the Gods

Warcraft Crusade Day 4

I finished my work at the abandoned pit today and came back to Mr. Serge with that leg back in the city.

"Good evening, Mr. Serge"

"I've been waiting for you, Master Lyoma. Then let's go."

Take the carriage that was ready and head a little south from the city centre.

Eventually, the commercial guild arrived at is an atmospheric building such as a decorative quality rigid, with light leaking out of the entrance door. Some of them are sparse, but some of them seem to be other than the officials I was hearing about.

Walking towards the receptionist, the receptionist walked us right through the back room. The receptionist carefully bows his head and walks away against him, who tells him what to do as he is accustomed to. As far as that exchange is concerned, I feel Mr Serge has been treated quite politely.

They say it's a big Chamber of Commerce meeting, and it's natural?

And a few minutes later, now a quit shaped man and a crooked old woman came into the room. The old woman smiles and hands control us trying to stand together, and a man opens his mouth.

"Oh, Serge, it's been a long time. I haven't heard a lot of rumors lately, so I was thinking," What are you doing? "

Did you start talking... a non-ese-like Kansai valve? I miss it as much as I wonder how it translates. You used to be such a boss...

"Long time no see, Piolo"

"What can I do for you today? It's not uncommon for you to come to the guild only at the time of the meeting. Then it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm a Baba Grisiera. I'm the guild master of this commercial guild."

"My name is Lyoma Takebayashi. I will be signing up for a commercial guild today. Young man, thank you for your guidance."

"Oh, hey, thanks for the polite greeting. Serge, is this your new servant?

"Homma. Hey. Wye is Piolo Sionji or whatever. He said he spoke freely."

"Best wishes. Lyoma Takebayashi."

Saionji? It just sounds like a Japanese-style surname. Plus, black hair, black eyes, atmosphere somewhat... a descendant of a metastasizer from the past?

"I remember you well, Lyoma. So, Lady Gris also said, what are you doing here? Serge is."

"I'm here today to sign up for Lyoma's guild. I'm just an escort."

In Mr. Serge's remarks, two eyes turn to me. Then the Alliance Master peeked into my face.

"Hmm...... just give me a minute"

When I said that and held a cane in my hand, I drank it and smacked Mr. Serge in the head.

"You idiot! What are you gonna do with the kid?

"It hurts, I want you to stop wanding, Guildmaster..."

"I don't know what the situation is, but this kid looks serious. Obviously an older dude like you would make you uncomfortable in fear."

Why did you think I was secretly doing this? Is it also a mind reading skill!?

"That was Lyoma. I can't read my mind."

You're reading!

"Even in old age, the only eyesight I've developed as a merchant hasn't diminished. You seem like an honest person, so you just got some insight."

"Was it..."

"This old lady scares me ~? I always say this, but really, I can read my mind to you? I don't think."

"You feel more awesome than scared. Because I don't like insight into people's minds."

"I'm used to that stuff. As long as we have the environment, we'll remember it little by little as we get older. You're still coming.... Something used to happen to you, but you have a future."

"Thank you, but... haven't you really been able to read your mind?

"There's no way I can do that. I knew it because I saw a long way where you said people's hearts were."

Seriously!?

"Were you looking at me like that?

"It was like a middle-aged kid remembering the old days."

Hit it!

"Well, you seem surprised, but you're here to register your guild, aren't you? We'll be late at night, so let's get this over with."

That's what they told me. I'll fill out the guild registration form.

"Hmm... what is the job title here? Isn't your job title a merchant?

"I don't write the business I want to do there. If you want to sell weapons, an arms dealer, or something. Write more than one. Yeah. I can add more later if I have to, so I don't have to write a lot right now in a hurry. There will be a table of basic job titles on the back, so look at it and write it down."

"Okay."

Speaking of which, I've heard that adventurers sometimes do business... for now and... city merchants for the fateful store? filled in the job title.

... What kind of bard is this? I know what the word means, but you call this a merchant?

With that in mind, when I finished writing the registration form and submitted it to the Alliance Master, the Alliance Master looked at the form and said:

"Oh, you were an adventurer? Be careful with your body, because if you die, you have no ex or child. And you want to own a store?

"Actually, I'm thinking of a slightly different business. At first, I tried to do it as a cost-of-living side business between adventurers, but Serge told me that I should sign up for the guild and do a lot of it."

"Serge?

"Oh, my God, that sounds funny. What kind of work is that?

"I'm a launderer."

"Are you going to wash your laundry in gold?... Serge, and why do you keep registering? There's no harm in registering, but you can sign up like that."

"At first I thought so, too. But listen to Master Lyoma. This is... I thought so. Conversely, if you don't sign up for the guild, you might make too much money and become a problem."

"... are you going to make money without it?

"If you're talking about how the Alliance can generate enough profit to see the problem, I'd like you to let me know."

Mr. Serge smiling and eye-catching. I guess these two are fine. I'll leave it to Mr. Serge not to say anything bad for once. And as the explanation continued, the two began to roar in surprise, and gradually began to laugh.

"Hihich! It's funny because if you live long enough, this happens from time to time! Rheuma, you think funny things. No way, slime, that's not a good idea for a new breed either. This guy's got good luck."

"Sure, if what I just heard materializes, I'll make a lot of money. Don't make a fuss about the Alliance if you're unregistered at that stage. Take a business story that looks interesting at that age. Hey, where are you going?"

Something started Mr. Piolo praying to me. What are you doing with this guy?

"You don't have to think too deeply about Piolo. I always do things when I talk to people who have or are about to make good money."

"Luck is something that only God can manipulate. If you see a guy who's going to attract money stories, what you want to do is have sex with people?

Well, I don't know.

"Hey, I'm surprised today. I think I've been surprised for about eight years. But I get it, I can't do that to those commercial wives. Regardless of the way you think about doing business, the laundromat won't fit the bill if you do that slime. But Ikel if you're a lyoma who takes it. Confident, yes, no business."

"I really liked you, I'm not surprised by the triviality this year... you have a future, and come and show me your face for a second. I'll give you some tea and sweets and we'll talk about it."

"Thank you. I'll try."

"Then let's decide on the store next. Alliance Master, please."

"Absolutely, Baba is rough to use, Serge. Piolo, top of the shelf next to your left. Bring me a second bunch of paperwork from the right."

"I can't move when I say it's rough to use Baba!

Just take it.

"Yes, yes, I get it...... what the hell is this, a paperwork I just collected for this flawed property. Yan. Lyoma's shop is promising in the future, and even if I let it out a little bit more, yeah? Why would I want to invest in Wye?

"Bakatare, I also told Serge that this kid is strangely serious. If you give away your money, you'll have to shy away."

You've been well understood in this short time, me. I've been told I'm serious and stupid honest for a long time. And I don't want to have a store with people's money. I don't mean to lighten my debts, and I don't know if I'm willing to own a store that far.

The merchant's eyesight is scary... here's the fear, not force.

"Now, as Piolo said, this bunch of paperwork is some kind of problematic paperwork. It's a collection of buildings. But for that matter, it's cheap, and you should have reception and luggage storage, right?

"Yes, I'll leave all the work to the slime, so you don't even need a water field."

"Let's do business in the laundry. You don't need a water field, and if it's normal, you're willing! When I say this... So, the money you can prepare is numbo or what?

"There are 700 small gold coins"

"Don't take it by surprise?

"There was a bandit near where I used to live, and I took him down with poison. Then it was a prize neck."

"If that was all there was... Guildmaster, one near my store, there would have been a vacant lot. How about over there?

"Well... there must have been..."

That said, the Alliance Master rolls the paperwork.

"... oh, there it is. It's a residential neighborhood. The location is good because there was a large tavern and inn and a warehouse to store the equipment.

It's just that there's still a building left where the inn went out on fire and more than half of it went extinguished. Now I can grow grass all I want, and I can't use the building anymore. If we're going to use this place, we need to demolish the previous building and start over from the ground level before we build it. That's why it takes time and money to sell the land. There are no flaws other than building and land maintenance, but what do you say?

"Dear Lyoma, I hear that Lyoma is an excellent user of earthly magic. There's only the size there, and you can do whatever you want, but how about that?"

I find it very appealing that I can do whatever I want.

"If you can use dirt magic, can you manage it over time?

"Right......"

With creative blocks and dirt magic, and Sticky Slime hardening liquid........................ yeah, don't go.

"It's okay.... As far as the map goes, this is close to a residential area. It's a really good location."

Gimru is a city surrounded by rugged, oval walls.

In the middle of the city, there is a boulevard that connects the North and South Gates in a straight line, making it an industrial zone with residential streets to the east and steel mills to the west.

There are plenty of lodging around the South Gate, and the lodging I'm staying in now is in the South.

From the North Gate it was not used much except by those working in the mine because of the road that leads to the mine (abandoned pit). I heard miners have also stopped using it since it was abandoned.

The road that leads to the mine also from the East Gate, this is not an abandoned pit. Residential neighborhoods are available in the east to make it easier for miners and others to reach the mines where they work.

And the land now introduced is almost truly east of the city centre, just between the residential district and the boulevard. Residential areas and adventurer's guilds are close by here, and the west industrial zone is relatively far away, but the road is easy to understand. The location would be close to the best.

When I uttered the idea, the Alliance Master affirmed my words.

"Yes. So this used to be a popular tavern. There were a lot of townspeople, adventurers, and a lot of people at work. If you still open a shop here, you'll be impressed. For that matter, we need some money together."

"I see... here please"

Honestly, I don't know much about the land. But I don't think this land is in a bad location. Close to residential neighborhoods and adventurer guilds is a good point, and what I can do freely is attractive. It's Mr. Serge's introduction, and Guildmaster and Mr. Piolo seem like good people. You can trust me.

"Is that good?

"Yes, the location is unpleasant, and the maintenance of the land and the demolition of the building, as well as the reconstruction, are likely to be manageable with magic and submissive slime. Above all, I liked the freedom to build my own shop."

"As I said earlier here, it's expensive, and I'll give you 580 small gold coins. Besides, this place has a lot of land, so 10 small gold coins for land taxes, 60 small gold coins for commercial rights and annual membership fees. I'll take a total of 650, okay?

"No problem. Because you can afford the cost of living."

"Sure, if I had 50 small gold coins left, I would be able to afford to play and live like a nobleman this year... ok, I'll sell this land to Lyoma.

Then I forgot to mention that commercial rights are only doubled this time, and land taxes are only doubled when buying land. From next year onwards, you can just earn five small gold coins a year and taxes based on your income. Don't get me wrong. "

"Okay, thank you."

I was taught a few things afterwards, but it's not that hard to have a store in this world. Just buy land and property through your guild and do business there. The books only describe how much income was earned and how much expenditure was incurred, and only pay the guild an annual amount of tax plus local taxes based on profits from it. He said that if only that were possible, neither age nor gender would matter as much.

Whether you can make money or not, don't feel like they say that's the problem...

It should be noted that the local tax doubled this time seems to be a similar recognition to what we call a deposit gratuity on Earth. Commercial rights vary according to the size of the business, dewstores, etc. are good for 5 medium copper coins, but when it becomes a store due to the size of the land I bought, it becomes 2 small gold coins.

Finally, the annual dues, but this has a side like donations to the guild. The original annual membership fee is small, but the ceiling has not been set, and if you pay more, you will show that much financial resources can be paid, which will not only lead to the evaluation of the guild, but will also give you preferential treatment. Looks like a merchant.

Having thus completed all the proceedings, I thanked the three of them and left the Alliance behind.

Mr. Serge said he would have to attend a meeting in the Commercial Guild soon, and he broke up in the Guild because there seemed to be something to talk about it from the Guild Master and Mr. Piolo.

Will the days of architectural work begin after the guild's work... not caves. Buildings have been since bytes in previous life. My old job was tight, but I also thought it would be fun to see the results.

I'm getting a little excited.
