7 KINGDOMS: conquest
116.Tares, one-armed man
"we'll be moving soon" Noran said.
before him, the 50 black-armored knights had lined up neatly.in their helmet armor were two sharp jet-black horns.
in this preparation, Noran provided them with Super Rare level equipment with a full upgrade.
Noran then walked out of the restaurant and went dashing towards the city lord residence.
in front of the gate, he was greeted well and immediately entered the mansion.
lord of the city of Raine, Mr. Fraley was sitting and eating some skewered meat accompanied by two beautiful women.
"brother, what do you need to get here?" ask Fraley.
he was excited by Noran's arrival, it was because the last time Noran gave him 3,000 gold coins without blinking.
"mr Fraley, there's something I need from you" Noran said.
"don't call master, just call brother Fraley.what do you need brother?" ask Fraley.
"can you help me buy land in the capital? I want to open a shop there" Noran said.
"capital? you want to open a shop there? but, the price of the store there is very expensive" said Fraley.
although the income of the restaurant that Noran opened was quite high during this week, but Fraley felt it would be difficult in the capital.
there are many food stores and famous shops there.O opening a new store will be very difficult.
"yes, I'll open a shop there. Can you help me?" ask Noran.
"alright, I have an acquaintance, maybe he can help you, wait a minute" Fraley said.
calling a servant to pick up a piece of paper and ink, he began writing on paper using ink and feathers.
after quite a while, Fraley finally finished it. It was a letter, Fraley gave it to Noran and told him to go to the slum west of the city.
"go west of town, meet a one-armed man there. I'm sure he'll be able to help you.
you can find it in a simple shop in a slum area" said Fraley.
in accordance with Fraley's message, Noran then went to the western region of the city of Raine. The existing settlement was indeed slum and so irregular.
many beggars and poor people are estranged in this place.Noran several times met with robbers and thieves.
this place is like a den of criminals from the city of Raine. not many people are seen walking around this area.
Noran then looked for the man Fraley meant to be. After a long tour, he finally found a tavern, it was a beer bar.
Noran then stepped in, with many pairs of eyes looking at him sharply.
Noran looked at everyone present.they all had yellowish status boards, indicating that they had some criminal records.
robbers...
burglar...
robbers...
robbers...
slave trader...
a swindler...
various titles of criminals he can find here, although most are titles of light and moderate crimes.
Noran looked at a man sitting on one of the chairs, looking at the man downing a beer.
"puhah~ is really refreshing" said the man.
"oi! you haven't paid for a month, don't expect to be in debt again" the bartender said.
"buh, it's so noisy! relax, I'll definitely pay for it later." said the man again.
"hah~ talking to drunk people is so useless." sighed the bartender.
he went and started making other drinks. Noran looked at the signboard, the man's name was exactly what Fraley had told him.
"that guy?" noran muttered.
Noran then sat down on the chair, now the man was right next to him.
"well" replied the bartender.
Noran looked at the man, who was still downing his beer.it was so ugly and shabby, with a long beard and a cute face.
in addition, the man's clothes looked so dirty due to dust and soil.
"you're Tares?" ask Noran.
the man stopped chugging when he heard what Noran said, he looked at Noran with a watchful look.
"who areyou?" ask Tares.
"i got a recommendation from Fraley to see you" Noran said.
"that corrupt man told you to meet me?" tares.
Tares seemed to chuckle and laugh, because the man, 20% of the population of Raine is in poverty and difficulty.
after a moment of chuckling, he asked Noran's purpose in meeting him.
"what do you need?" ask Tares.
"i need help buying a shop in the capital" Noran said.
"capital? are you sure?" ask Tares.
the price of a shop in the capital was many times more expensive in this city.it could even reach tens of thousands of gold coins.
"yes, I want to buy a store there.no need on the main street, a small shop will be fine" Noran said.
"a small shop? I'll find him.Give me 3 days." said Tares.
"well, I'll wait for him. It's a gift for you." said Noran.
The 500 gold coins he gave to Tares, made the man widen his eyes before smiling.he then laughed wide at the hundreds of gold coins.
"hahaha, take it easy, I'll find the best store at the lowest price" said Tares.
"i trust you. When you're done, I'll give you double what you are now" Noran said.
Noran then returned to the restaurant.With the founder of White Ghost, he felt that the knights he brought would attract too much attention.
Noran then chose some of the residents from the slums to work in his shop.he had a knight teach them some lessons on ethics.
for now, he could only wait before moving towards the capital.he planned to go to the capital and gather more information.
to win this war, he needed detailed and correct information.however, he still had a mission to win this war.
Noran then walked into his room and started making potions, currently his alchemy was at level 15, reaching the mastery level only took a little more time.
