《Soul Summoner in Isekai (LitRPG & System)》48. A for Rich
Advertisement
Coming out of the Viscount's castle, Anno and Lu Yan left in the carriage arranged by Lola.
On the carriage, Lu Yan looked at the deed held in Anno's hand and couldn't help but ask: "Is Lord Viscount really willing to provide us with a house to open an adventurer's guild?"
Anno smiled faintly and shook the object in her hand and said, "It's not free, it's rented! The contract is all here, what's so fake about it?"
"But, isn't the adventurer or the adventurer guild you are talking about similar to the mercenary group?"
Lu Yan has been listening to Anno and Lola's conversation next to this question she just wanted to ask.
The company has been subjected to the mercenary corps, Lola why in hearing Anno open the adventurer's guild, will support it?
"They are paid to commission professionals to work, Lola why not simply entrusted mercenary corps? Their strength is far stronger than the idle professionals in the city!"
Anno heard Lu Yan's question and explained, "Although the mercenary corps is strong, it is now almost on the opposite side of the Viscount.
The adventurers, on the other hand, not only pay cheaply but also can do many things that the mercenary corps does not care to do.
Over time, it can also put pressure on the mercenary corps.
This could not be better for the viscount."
Lu Yan tilted his head and thought for a while and said quietly, "I still can't figure out what's the difference between the two."
"Haha, after our adventurer guild officially opens, you'll know!"
......
Viscount Castle!
Immediately after Anno left, Lola went to Viscount Raynor and recapped the conversation.
"Set up an agency that will allow us to provide tasks that are less dangerous and more tedious, with only moderate remuneration? The sooner the better?"
Viscount Raynor looked down and pondered for a moment after learning about Anno's idea from Lola.
Then he looked down and turned over the piles of papers on the table and said to Lola, "Just in time, I have some matters on my side that need to be completed by a professional. Lola, did Anno say where he lives?"
Lola nodded and said, "After he got the contract, he said he was going to check out the house I offered him and would be staying there tonight."

"I'll compile some information, you go with Scott this afternoon, hand it over to him and tell him to get that whatever adventurer's guild up and running as soon as possible."
Viscount Raynor did have some jobs in his hands that were nothing dangerous, but very tedious.
If these jobs were entrusted to the mercenary corps, Viscount Raynor would have to spend several times more.
Originally, he planned to send his guards to handle it.
But if Anno's adventurer's guild can be set, the price is not expensive, Viscount Raynor is also very happy.
The manpower saved could go to more important things.
"Yes, Lord Father."
Lola thought for a moment with her index finger on her chin and then said, "I remember Anno said that the mission commission needs to write out the specific mission objective so that he can assess the difficulty of the mission and then price it!"
"Oh, difficulty assessment?"
Viscount Raynor smiled, "Then write it according to his request. If it can really improve the strength of the Valcam professionals and help me fight against the demons, then he is a great merit.
On the contrary, if he is a cheating fellow, regardless of whether he is a God-forsaken or a summoner, arrest him and put him in prison!"
......
The northern area of Valcam City.
Anno looked up at the house in front of him, which was three stories high and covered nearly 500 square feet, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Worthy of the former city hall, so big, completely enough for our initial use!"
The building in front of you was once the office of the city officials.
Later, for convenience, the city hall was moved to the center of the city, and this place has been vacant.
"From today onwards, this is the Adventurers' Guild!"
Anno excitedly walked to the door and pushed it.
Because the door was pushed open, some dust was sprinkled on the edge of the door.
Anno covered her nose and went in, saw the messy tables and chairs inside and the thick dust and cobwebs, and said to Lu Yan, "You go and inform the others to come back and gather at noon. This place needs to be cleaned for a while!"
"Just know how to make me!"
Luyan muttered, but still followed Anno's instructions and went to the location of each occupation to get the others back.

Anno, on the other hand, began to look around the house.
"It just so happens that the first floor is the lobby, saving me from having to fight my way through again. From now on, this will be used as a quest hall, with a quest bar in the center.
Put a few tables on the right, and hire a few more female workers who serve the adventurers.
The second floor is temporarily vacant, later can be set up as a VIP card package, etc.
There are quite a few rooms on the third floor, which can be used as our living place."
Anno walked into a house on the third floor, pushed open the window, and looked out at the uneven houses and the pedestrians coming and going on the road, and was extremely comfortable inside.
"Next, we just need to wait for Viscount Raynor to send over a mission, recruit some people to become adventurers, and gradually make a name for the adventurers' guild!
This first step, even if it is taken."
Anyway, Anno's idea of setting up an adventurer's guild is finally going to come true today.
Only, all this is not for nothing.
The house was rented to Anno by the Viscount.
Although the first month is free, from the second month onwards, you need to pay 50 silver coins per month's rent.
Anno would have bought it, but the price of the house was 100 gold coins!
LOL, can't afford it at all.
Secondly, if the adventurer's guild can't achieve what Anno said, the viscount will ask for a crime!
......
Afternoon.
Anno was leading Shore and others, cleaning the Adventurer's Guild, when Scott's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Is Mr. Anno here? Miss Lola has some tasks to entrust to you!"
Anno heard the voice and jumped straight down from the second floor by opening the window.
Lola, who had just stepped off the carriage, was startled to see a person suddenly jump down in front of her, and her body fell backward.
"Ah~!"
Lola closed her eyes and let out a scream, but soon felt an arm around her shoulders.
The other arm was "stroking" her buttocks.
Lola shuddered and slowly opened her eyes to see Anno's somewhat apologetic expression.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that!"
Anno also did not expect to scare Lola, he was just a little excited to hear the task sent over.
As for the current posture, it was just to prevent the other party from falling, nothing more.
Lola was hugged by Anno, feeling the breath of the man close at hand, her face "swish" immediately red.
"Big big big big ...... dare to disrespect the Viscount's daughter! You you you you ......"
Anno saw Lola's face was red, steam was rising from her head, and her speech was incoherent.
Without waiting for her to finish, he held the other party's body upright, released her hands, and took a step back in her figure.
"Che~, it's just an A!"
Lola's attention was instantly diverted.
She looked at Anno's disgusted expression and stomped her foot as she asked, "So, what does A mean anyway?"
Her intuition told her that a was definitely not a good word.
"The meaning of A?"
Anno's eyes unconsciously glanced at Lola's chest and said with a disappointed look, "A, for rich!"
After all, not everyone can easily own an airfield!
Moreover, as the daughter of a viscount, Lola must be very rich.
"It's ...... is it?"
Lola stared at Anno with some suspicion, straightened the somewhat messy blonde hair, and beamed: "It always feels like you're thinking about something very rude!"
"Let's get down to business. Aren't you here to deliver the commission?"
Anno turned around and opened the door of the adventurer's guild, making an inviting gesture.
"It just so happens that the first floor is already packed up, so let's go in and talk."
"So soon!"
Lola said in surprise.
Only a few hours had passed, and they had finished cleaning such a large place.
"Well, it's just some simple cleaning, it won't take much time. The subsequent renovation may take a little longer!"
Anno led Lola through the door.
The first-floor lobby, although cleaned, but in addition to a few tables and chairs, there is nothing, looks extremely empty.
However, the task commission has been sent over, and Anno's money-making time is not far away.
After all, the Adventurer's Guild is to charge five percent of the task reward as a fee!
When the time comes, it's not too late to add something to the adventurer's guild.

Tales of Teleios
Born as a noble free-man, the only daughter of a lord, Arete of Syracuse was an ambitious young woman who would do anything to succeed her father's position. One day, her father was exposed of his secret movement attempted to overthrow the emperor... Tales of Teleios set in the ancient Greco-Roman. It is a very standard adventure, low fantasy, alternate historical story with common archetype and predictable storyline. It is a form of artistic expression. 🏳️🌈 LGBTQIA+ Content Tag 🙇 ESL Author 📖 A Very Brief Summary 📖 (Unavoidable Spoiler) This story is about Arete of Syracuse (the protagonist) who was on a journey to find a mysterious Teleios of Eretria. Travelling with her servant Matea, her maternal cousin Agave and a former hetaira named Pryne. Throughout their journey, they discovered the conspiracy behind the Emperor Nero's eugenic system. This story explores the topic of human advancement. Tracing the idea back to the Greco-Roman world, the idea of eugenicism started when humans attempted to achieve perfection through breeding enhancements. However, The Three Elders realised that they couldn't afford waiting on the natural process of evolution. Thus, they came out with the controversial idea of experimentation through the building up of monstrosities using different body parts of animals and attempting to achieve immortality through taking over the younger human bodies. Teleios means perfection, and the center of this story is about the journey of four very flawed characters: The protagonist, Arete was a skinny noble woman who was born premature and had amenorrhea. She was supposed to be drowned by the order of Emperor Claudius due to her imperfection. While Matea was born a perfect healthy person, but has had everything taken away from her. Agave who was born out of wedlock but was fortunate enough to be adopted into a noble family. And Pryne who was on her way to have a loving family but drifted instead throughout the world after making a decision that she deeply regretted and needed to overcome her sense of guilt along the way. The story will explore some of the most controversial topics which involved detestable ancient practices such as pedarastry, where as the Empress Sporus, being the victim of it, coping with her tragic experience through acceptance of the oppressor and her struggle for not being able to conceive. In summary, the topics were largely related to gender and sex. There will be violence and gore, as most of the fantasy works does. while the author here would like to inform the readers that this is not an erotica, nor it has any sentences that involve depiction of sexual activities. Therefore, this story is not for those who seek thrill on its sexual content. A dialogue of Empress Sporus: "The world itself abused us to a level unimaginable! Yet we have to learn to love the world! Simply to live! To make our life a little easier, a little happier. So what is wrong with that? Are you expecting me to go against the emperor when he is the one and only reason I became the empress?" Said Sporus.
