《Founders of The New Age》Chapter 6 - Dungeon payout
Advertisement
For the past 2 hours, Arthur has been telling two mages what he knows about fire and wood. The sun was moving towards the back of the mountains. They began to slowly climb a hill. When they climbed to the top, the visibility increased and they could finally see something man-made. The road became more evident. Some carriage marks can be seen on the road. There were wheat-style crops on both sides of the road waiting for the harvest. Although far away, Bardall was beginning to appear. The workers in the field they passed were looking up at the team. As they got closer, the details of the town were also revealed. Surroundings flat around the town. The town was surrounded by 10-meter stone walls. Guards were walking on the wall. It was not a long time before the sun went down so the people in the fields were in a hurry to leave their jobs and go home before the doors closed. As they approached the town, Arthur had the opportunity to examine the Walls more closely. The stones forming the wall were new and no moss was growing on them. When he looked more carefully, he saw that some shapes were engraved at certain intervals. They were shining as the sun's rays hit. They approached the gate of the town. The farmers and those who wanted to enter the town were lined up in front of the gate. The guards were checking everyone who wanted to enter. When it comes to Arthur's team, one of the guards says, "oooh Mefzar, are you coming from the mission?" It was obvious that he knew the team. "Yeah, we got lucky," he said. Arthur caught the guard's attention. "Who's your friend?" “We met on the way, he is our new wizard ” “Okay you can pass, the pass takes 6 coppers.” After Mefzar gave the money, they were able to pass the guards and enter the town. “The people earn thousands of gold just from sitting,” said Askar "Which people?" Arthur asked. “Silver rank adventurers like us who founded the town, silver and gold plate adventurers who dream of becoming nobles after the agreements of four kingdoms are establishing towns in the north,” he said. First thing Arthur noticed was the smell. the smell of urine. There seemed to be no sewer in town. They walking on the town's road. the roads were just soil The team finally stopped in front of an inn. Arthur looked up and saw the inn's sign. 'Golden ale' Mefzar pushed open the door. Arthur's face was hit by a heatwave and the smell of alcohol. The inn lobby was made up of tables and chairs. People of different races were eating and drinking alcohol. The team came in. The people sitting at the table took a look and continued what they were doing. A middle-aged potbelly Dragon-human came up to them and said, "Oh Mefzar, are you returning from your mission?" "Yes, we need a place to stay, do you have a spare room?" “I have 3 rooms left, you are very lucky. Adventurers have already begun to retreat south.” “We keep all 3 of them. Can you prepare the bathroom, we all need it. After that, food" Of course, Jully, get the bathroom ready for our guests!” He shouted to the serving girl. Arthur was watching this medieval setting with interest. It was like the concept pubs he went to. The bathroom was quite needed How many days has it been since he came to this world 4-5 days But to Arthur, it had been like weeks. And he smelt like hell. After the battle with the Bandits, he had borrowed clothes from Askar. But they were starting to stink of sweat, too. They sat at a table until the bathroom was ready. The girl whom the innkeeper called Jully said that the bathrooms were ready after 10 minutes. The team got up and moved towards the bathroom at the back of the Inn. There was a separate section for men and women. Mefzar Bill Askar and Arthur entered the bathroom. After taking off his clothes and washing, Artur felt lighter. “We'll get you new clothes tomorrow,” Askar said, handing the spare clothes to Arthur. Askar's clothes were a little tight for Arthur. Then they returned to the lobby. And they found an empty table in the corner and sat down. The ladies of the team looked like they were having fun in the bathroom. They joined the team after 15 minutes. Jully served the food. The meal was stew and hot bread fresh from the oven. The food was quite delicious. They certainly had a high-level cook. “When was the town founded?” Arthur said wonderingly. “Three years ago they found a treasure on a mission, the Bardall team made a huge amount of money. They spent the money to build a Town.” "How much " “400 gold” Arthur finally realized how much 1000 gold coins were worth. “You can fucking build 2 towns with that kind of money,” he thought. Arthur hadn't realized how excited everyone on the team was for the money. When he looked carefully, he realized how excited they were. Everyone was waiting for tomorrow with excitement. The task and the gold they will get for finding the dungeon. After everyone ate, they retired to their rooms without wasting time. The room was plain. It has 2 one-person beds and one desk. Arthur was tired after all day walking and want to sleep. He chooses one the window side bed and lay down. when he fell into sleep. [Level 4 Mage] He saw the notification appeared in front of him. He just getting used to it by now and continued to sleep. -------- When he woke up in the morning he saw Bill snoring in the bed next to him. He was sitting on his bed practicing fire manipulation, while he waited for the others to wake up. His flames were now the size of a candle flame. He could feel the mana he could hold increase as well. He worked until he had exhausted his mana, then someone knocked on the door. When Arthur opened the door, he saw Askar. "Let's go-to breakfast, then we'll go to the guild" Arthur woke Bill and they went down to the lobby together. The team was ready. After a quick meal, the team made their way to the Guild. Arthur's attention was drawn to the Streets by the fact that there were no children. "Of course, who brings their child to the most dangerous land," he thought. Another difference was that the businesses were for adventurers. Everywhere was full of inns. Traders wanting to buy what adventurers find. Blacksmiths repairing armor could also be heard. This place looked more like an outpost than a town. They came to the Guild Building. The building was higher than the others and was made of stone. When they entered, he saw that enchanted glass things like Lamps were hanging on the walls. To the right of the ground floor of the building were the reception desks. To the left were the sitting areas. Arthur saw a few adventurers there looking at the papers. Papers could be seen hanging on the walls. Mefzar went to the reception desk and said something. The woman pointed to the stairs. “We need to talk to the manager,” he told the team. The team started walking towards the stairs. The people sitting in the waiting area were watching what was going on. They were wondering what had happened to attract the attention of the manager. They went upstairs and came to a large door. Two guards were waiting by the door. Mefzar knocked on the door and entered. The manager was a human in his 50s. He seemed to know the Mefzar and the team. “What happened to bring your team to my room?” he said to Mefzar. “We discovered a dungeon, Albert,” he said without further ado. The manager's eyes lit up. “Where, is it near?” said Albert excitedly. “Two days' walk from here, the bandits were planning to take it for themselves. Before We killed them” Mefzar said with a grin. “2 days is pretty close, you can go in one day with a fast horse” “Seeing the expectation on the team's face, we should check first, if it's true, your money will go straight to your account on the Merchants guild,” he said and laughed. “He pulled out a map on the side of the table and said, “Where exactly?” Mefzar showed where they found the dungeon on the map with his hand "here it is" “John John,” the guard elf waiting at the door opened the door. And went in. “Send the fastest [Raider] here immediately,” he said. "It takes 2 days to be verified, and then if it's true, you get your money," he said. The team left the room after saying by to Albert. “Why was he so happy?” said Arthur, unable to understand. “Guild administrators receive a share of the Guild's earnings. the money he earns will increase too,” said Elda. “The founders of the town also get 20%,” Askar said. “I understand why Adventurers build towns, now,” said Arthur The team laughed. North of the gateless mountains was full of treasures, if you were getting 20% off this it was definitely worth taking any risk. Mefzar went to the reception desk and showed a stone to the people at the box office. The people at the counter handed him a pouch. When he came back, he gave everyone their share. Arthur handed 3 gold coins. "But I didn't do anything" “Don't belittle yourself, Arthur, if it weren't for you, the team might be missing a person” “We will also divide the dungeon money into 6,” he said. Arthur's eyes widened. "I just can't accept that," he said. 150 gold It was a huge coin, he understood. "When he asked if I could join the team, we all agreed. It's best if you get the money" “But it was temporary” “Arthur, you almost died for us, now you're part of the team,” Elda said. “Exactly,” said Darkis. “Him,” Bill nodded. Arthur's eyes filled with tears. “No need to be a tearful eye, let's get you an armor with the gold you bought,” Askar said. “Thank you guys its means a lot to me,” said Arthur, looking at the team. After an emotional moment for Arthur, the team left the guild and went to an armor shop. There were a lot of different armors. Steel armors, armor made of skins of different animals The owner of the shop was a middle-aged avian. But his head was an owl's head, not an Eagle like Mefzar. "Who are you looking for?" he said with a smile on his face. The team pointed to Arthur. “Will it be enchanted or not” The prices of the enchanted armors were very high. A steel armor could see 100 gold. "Don't be enchanted," said Arthur, and they began to look at the leather armor. Arthur liked leather armor and went to try it in something like a cabin. “How is it?” he said when he came out. After Elda came to him and arranged the armor, he said, "It's fitting all right." Darkis nodded, too. Bill took out the fur and claws of the white tiger they had hunted from his Enchanted pouch and said, "How much would you give them?" “His skin is almost unharmed,” the seller muttered to himself. “I will give you 5 gold” "Well," Mefzar took out some armor from his enchanted pouch. Arthur immediately realized that that is the bandit’s armor. They probably took off the clothes before he burned them. “Hmm, 2 of them are enchanted but quite damaged,” he said. He said "30 gold for all" “Come on, man, we all know that armors are easy to repair,” Askar said. "Okay okay 45 gold last price," he said They shook hands and parted. Arthur did not refuse the extended money at this. “Guys where can I buy that” Arthur pointing to Elda's enchanted Pouch. He had fallen in love with Enchanted pouches since the first time he saw them. "And you're not afraid to spend your money, huh?" Askar said. Then they entered a very luxurious store. Two very beautiful elves came up to them and said, "How can we help you?" said “We were looking at the enchanted pouch,” Askar said. He looked like he was trying to flirt with the girls. "From here please," said the elf hand. There were different levels of enchanted pouches. The lowest one could carry 1 m2 of material. Some of them delayed the spoilage of the food. The prices were rising from 5 gold to 50 gold. Arthur bought one of the lowest 1m2 bags. And he tied it to his belt. Paying the money and leaving, Askar was describing the location of the Golden ale inn to the Elf. Arthur seemed to see that there was a hint of jealousy in Darkis' eyes. But then Darkis was back to his normal self. They went back to the inn And sat down for a drink. Everyone ordered a drink and sat down. "Well, have you ever thought of starting a town," said Arthur, taking a sip of his drink. “We thought, but we didn't have the money. “Darkis. “You have Dungen money now,” he said. Arthur. The team suddenly realized that the topic they were constantly talking about was actually more likely to happen. “And now we have an architect,” Darkis said while looking at the team.
