Last Wish System Chapter 89
Advertisement
Yale was really interested in being an official citizen. That would solve any identity problems, and if in the future he had to leave the Revgen Empire due to his problems with that Zhan Clan's faction, he would have somewhere to go.
"I like that. Anything more?"
Oscro relaxed after seeing that Yale wasn't opposed to the idea because without Yale, he wouldn't be able to make a successful company, Yale's identity as the Silent Healer was essential.
On the other hand, Yale didn't even know how to make a company or any business, so he alone wouldn't do anything.
To execute the business, Oscro had outlined both needed to work together, or it wouldn't work.
"As a company, we will have access to some resources that can't be bought with money alone. That includes spells and skills, but also pills, items, and even information. If we become more important, we will have access to even more. We can even get some voice in the Zuatania Merchant Association's affairs in the future."
Oscro saw Yale's face and understood that he needed more information about it.
"Sometimes, I forget you have amnesia. The Zuatania Merchant Association elects the Zuatania Republic's government, and the government is under their orders, so it can be considered that the association is the one controlling the republic. Trade City is actually more important than the true capital of the republic due to that."
Yale was shocked by that piece of information because he hadn't imagined that the merchant association had that much power.
"You can imagine the benefits it can have for us being able to speak in a place that can decide about the republic's future. I have never planned to aim that high before, but after meeting you, I feel that we have chances of accomplishing it working together."
Oscro had a vocation to do business, and he had always dreamed of making a company that reached the peak even in the Zuatania Merchant Association, but he was rational, so he had never aimed to turn that dream real before. However, after he met with Yale, that impossible dream started to seem more real. Oscro was already able to devise how they should act to advance toward it.
Yale didn't have ambitions in regard to power, but he wanted that right to speak in the Zuatania Merchant Association because that was also a relevant background. If a noble of the Revgen Empire attacked someone with authority to vote about affairs of the whole Zuatania Republic, it could provoke a war.

"If I manage to reach that point, I won't need to fear the Zhan Clan. The other clans and the Imperial Family wouldn't let a war happen due to my mother's matter."
Although Yale thought like that, he didn't know about the exact distance between the Zuatania Republic and the Revgen Empire. He hoped that both were near since having a good position in Zuatania would have more effect. If both were too far away from each other, the deterrence of status would lose effectivity.
That was Yale's biggest fear and also the biggest flaw in the plan, but he still agreed to Oscro's idea of making a company.
"Let's do it!"
Yale decided to bet in that making a company would still be useful even if the deterrence plan failed. The part about obtaining information that money couldn't buy was also enticing to Yale.
Moreover, Yale wasn't sure that the Apprentice Pill was what his past life planned to obtain. Maybe the true objective was something in those items that couldn't be bought only with money.
Oscro almost jumped when Yale accepted. He quickly started to make plans to start the company as soon as possible while Yale went to practice in silence.
Yale used to practice every night instead of sleep, but since his level had increased a lot before leaving the Special Realm, improving was far more difficult than before. Moreover, he didn't spend too much time training in that month, he only trained at night, so his Origin Points remained the same after the month ended, but Yale felt that he was already near to increase them.
At dawn, Oscro went to exchange more valuable items with money. The merchant association only accepted cash to register a company.
Usually, obtaining cash in a short time was difficult because everyone valued it a lot, but as everyone understood the meaning of Oscro exchanging only items for money, they gladly accepted to do a favor to him even if they didn't obtain direct benefits.
Oscro knew very well the reasons for such favors, so he wrote the names of everyone who helped to obtain the cash. He planned to repay those favors after the company was a success.
After all, no one will trust a company that was unable to repay the kindness they received and only went mad for more benefits disregarding everything else.

That day Yale healed a lot of people since the rumors about their group going to Trade City spread at high speed.
It was difficult that an elemental healer went to Outside Town to heal people. Most healers in Trade City were arrogant, and sometimes they wouldn't treat someone even for money. They chose those who they wanted to heal.
Thus, the appearance of someone like Yale, who healed anyone as long as the other party could pay the fee was something difficult to happen again in a short amount of time.
Everyone who needed healing and wanted to be healed by the famous Silent Healer before he went to Trade City, rushed to meet Yale to avoid wasting the opportunity.
Of course, that day, Oscro only accepted cash as healing fees, which made easier the process of obtaining enough paper money to register the company.
One day was enough to obtain all the paper money they needed. Since everyone felt that they were about to leave the Outside Town, they rushed to do transactions with them for fear of being unable to establish some relationship with him before they leave.
The profits that day were enormous, but that was also something Oscro calculated. People tended to act rasher when they felt that they have limited time.
"Tomorrow, we will head towards Trade City. Remember that we can't make any transaction or heal anyone until we have the company registered and approved. Trade City laws are very strict with that. We will lose our lives if we dare to make an illegal trade inside the city."
Yale nodded; he didn't have problems with that. The one who was always looking for more ways of making money in any situation was Oscro.
The next day both went towards Trade City's main gate, which was the only form of entering the city without breaking any law.
Two guards were standing in front of the door to stop anyone without permission from entering the city, that was something common in most cities.
Oscro showed a medallion that identified him as a citizen's son, with that they have the right to enter the city without problems.
The guards nodded after seeing the medallion, but one of them stared at Yale.
"You can enter, but he can't. He doesn't have any identification, and he is with a beast. If he dares to enter the city, I will kill him."
Oscro was angry at the guard's words, there was no rule about that, so the guards had some amount of authority deciding who could pass. Usually, they wanted some incentives to change their opinion. The only exception was those with a medallion in their possession. The guards couldn't touch such people.
Oscro was about to speak, but the other guard interrupted him.
"Shut up, fool! You are new here, and yet you are acting mighty. Don't worry, my friends. You can enter both without problems, I will ensure that. As for the beast, I will send this junior with a huge mouth to solve any problem it could have."
The man who spoke first didn't know what to do, but seeing his superior's serious face, he left to fill out some documents.
"Sorry about that. I will punish him later. How dares to threaten to kill the Silent Healer."
Yale and Oscro were shocked even if they didn't show it. The fact that even a senior guard was on their side was something unexpected. However, Yale had healed a lot of people. Since the guards worked outside the gates, it wasn't that difficult that he had healed someone who had a relationship with some guards.
"There should be more people like you, young friend. Usually, elemental healers refused to heal those they don't like, to the people in the Outside Town receiving such healing is very difficult. You probably don't remember because you have healed a lot of people, but you healed a young girl a few days ago. She is my son's girlfriend, and no healer wanted to treat her, she would have died without your help."
The guard had a good impression of the Silent Healer from the start. He was the one who helped the girl to pay any fees required for the healing, so he knew that they weren't abusive at all.
Almost all the guards felt goodwill towards the Silent Healer, only a new and arrogant fellow like the one from before would dare to mistreat an elemental healer.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
