The Crown Of The Nine Continents
Chapter 16: Four springs

Greenforest Accommodation.

Ren's Room.

Ren was looking at the sky - the sky of his room. Today there was not the slightest motivation for Ren to wake up.

The feeling of wanting to sleep again filled his mind and soul. Whereas today Ren aims to go to the City of Rondelia.

"Hoam... Geez, I miss my leisure life, maybe I should really buy a house and hire a waiter there." Ren grumbled as he slowly got up from his bed.

Tok.Tok.Tok

"Excuse me, Mr. Ren, there's a letter for you"

'Hm? a letter?'

Ren who was about to enter the bathroom stopped his steps. He reluctantly approached the entrance of his room.

"Yes? A letter for me?" Ren opened the door and asked.

"Yes, Mr. Re-Kyaaa!!!.." The waiter screamed and turned his body.

'Hm? Oh my clothes, I forgot to wear them.'

Ren closed the door and went back to his room. Put on some clothes and then open the door again.

"I'm sorry, where's the letter?"

"I-It... See You!" The waiter gave a letter and ran.

Seeing the waiter with the reddened face running, Ren could only shake his head.

Ren returns to his room, before going to the bathroom Ren decides to read the letter first.

[Greetings Dear Master Ren.].

'Ugh This one old man, so disgusting'

Ren could not help his disgust at the letter he was holding.

With such an exaggerated and disgusting opening of the word, Ren could already guess that it was from Fraudlin.

[Hail My respect to Master Ren, the Potion Research that Master told me to do is already growing. I have found some Secrets behind this potion, hopefully all this is in accordance with your expectations. So I beg you to come to the capital. If you send a reply letter to come here, I'll pick you up soon.]

'Ha.. Ha.. Ahaha!'

Ren could not help but laugh at what Fraudlin was doing. He obeyed all of Ren's words which Ren could call a joke. Ren's purpose was to send the potion out for sheer pleasure.

'Ordinary potion until he's meticulous? Pfftts... Very amusing.'

Ren could guess, which Fraudlin found must be just a manufacturing process or materials used. The obvious need not be rechecked, thought Ren.

'Pfft... Never mind, it is not good to laugh at the hard work of others.'

Although Fraudlin's efforts were in vain for Ren. But Ren was not worthy to underestimate their hard work, at least Ren would appreciate it a little. Ren also aims to go to the capital after Rondelia City so there is no problem to go to Fraudlin.

Ren headed for the bathroom, the sun had already appeared to him by the time Ren unintentionally laughed. So Ren couldn't waste more time than this.

Swosh ..

Byurrs...

Byur...

The sound of water was heard from the bathroom where Ren was. Before long Ren came out of that bathroom, he had been completely refreshed by the water.

Ren had already prepared everything for today, a new disguise for him.

A Wealthy Merchant, that's Ren's new disguise. With the direct duke's help, Ren easily got the Letters of Permission to trade in this kingdom.

For the items to be sold, Ren had already prepared 300 bottles of Low-level potions, 100 intermediate-tier Potions and several Cores.

While in this City Ren had gathered various kinds of information, one of which was about Potions.

Although Potions are not rare items, but their needs are very high every day.

In this dangerous world potions are needed to perform various activities.

People who have healing magic are quite rare. Plus the use of healing magic was limited by the amount of mana it possessed.

This reason is what makes potions more in demand by people from the upper and lower classes.

The price of one Low Potion bottle was 1 silver coin. While the intermediate potion was 10 silver coins.

For Core himself, Ren did not know the exact price. Given the Core that Ren planned to sell was only the lowest of his inventory. Perhaps it was in the range of 5-10 copper coins.

"Okay, time to go."

Ren walked out of his inn room. As usual, Ren always attracted the attention of many people. Especially with the clothes of the new rich merchant - recently he ordered from the famous tailor in Ceeven City.

Different from usual Ren did not go straight out of the inn. Ren has to tell her he won't be staying again.

After informing the innkeeper and giving the keys to the innkeeper, Ren then left.

Adventurers Guild.

A term that is quite famous in the Game or Novel. Adventurer guild is an organization that regulates adventurers. In this World Adventurers Guild was a real thing.

Ren obtained the information on the whereabouts of the Adventurer Guild a few days ago.

Hearing a familiar name, Ren immediately concluded that these Guilds were built by players like himself.

On the trip this time around, Ren would engage the adventurer Guild.

Ren would hire some of the best adventurers he could hire to escort him to Rondelia City.

Currently Ren was in front of the Adventurer Guild Branch in this Ceeven City.

When Ren entered this place, the atmosphere that Ren felt was not much different from ordinary bars. A group of people gathered at the table and drank liquor.

However the moment Ren entered this Guild, the atmosphere quickly changed.

All eyes were staring at Ren, piercing gazes from there - here Ren felt.

"Who is this flashy boy?"

"Pfft with such a weak body?"

Various whispers of Ren's voice were heard, but Ren calmly ignored them.

After all those who whispered that to Ren were just a bunch of big muscle brain men.

Ren was sure that there was not a single player here.

"Pulse.. Excuse me Miss."

"Yes? is there anything I can help you with?"

"I need a bodyguard on my way? can Guild make any special requests about this?"

"Sure, what kind of bodyguard do you need?"

"If you can, a bunch of the best parties in this Ceeven City."

"Pulse.. That, are you serious? the best parties cost a huge amount of money to know."

The woman had a troubled facial expression.

"It's okay, how much does it cost to escort me to Rondelia City?"

"Rondelia City? the trip was quite far, at least, 250 Gold Coins I Taste."

"250 Gold coins?!" Ren's surprised.

"Yes, is that too expensive for you? I told you no." The woman tried to convince Ren.

"Not that, I guess it'll cost more than that." Ren sighed in relief.

Ren's words made the woman on duty shocked. 'How could 250 Gold Coins be a common thing for a youngster?' that's what the woman thought.

Ren ignored the woman's surprised look. Ren handed over a number of bags of gold to rent Ceeven's city's best party.

The woman then left Ren, saying she would call the adventurers who were in the adventurer-only inn.

Ren just stood there, he didn't know what to do.

Before finally a few heavy footsteps approached him.

"Hehehe, Hey boy. What if you give us all your money?"

'No way, this bunch of fools.' Ren muttered feeling sorry for the group of muscular men in front of him.

"No, if you want money look for it on the demand board over there" Ren sneered as he pointed at the request board.

"Bad! Son, it seems you're tired of living!"

The muscular bald man who was leading, clenched his hands.

"Receive this!...."

The man pointed a fist towards Ren's face.

A large and muscular man plus a bald fist punched a weak young man. Such an absurd sight only occurred in a violent world.

In the eyes of others, perhaps the fist was quick and hard to avoid. But not in Ren's eyes, the fist seemed to be launched slowly. It looks like a joke.

Ren could have avoided or restrained this fist, but Ren did not do this because....

Bamm...!

The fist was held by someone's arm, Ren just silently stared at the fist, pretending to be unable to react.

"Balding Old Man, don't you dare hurt our Client"

A young man appeared before Ren. He held the fist of the burly, bald-headed man with just one hand. The difference in strength is very obvious here. Although this young man was smaller than the bald man.

"If you continue this, the Guild will act decisively against you."

The man spoke casually but threatened.

The bald man could only grit his teeth, he then removed the fists from the young man before him.

"Tch.. Let's go!"

The group of men left the Guild with an annoyed face.

Meanwhile, the person who was holding the fist was just smiling before turning towards Ren.

"You are our client, right? Forgive the rudeness of the bald man earlier, no matter how he was a member of this Guild. By the way, my name is Kazumi." The man spoke with guilt.

"Why did you give lightening to those muscle-brain bastards? they always brought trouble to the Adventurers Guild."

Another young woman appeared from another room. Speaking in an annoyed tone to the man named Kazumi.

" It's unavoidable for Yuki, those Guild rules are quite free, so we can't just punish them unless their very grave offense is committed."

This time, there appeared a calm and clever type of woman.

Not long after another man came.

"Yosh, Yosh, this isn't the time to fight. Not good for our Clients, let's introduce ourselves to each other. My name is Kazumi, the leader of this Four springs party, I am also a Swordsman, Please help the Client." The man who saved Ren spoke.

"Hm! All right, my name is Yuki, I'm an Archer in this party. Please help."

"My name is Arisu, a mage who specializes in fire and healing magic. Please help her."

"Eh? My name is Reigin, a Tank from the Four Springs party. That so?"

From what they said, Ren could deduce that, most likely they were players.

"Hallo, it's an honor to meet this city's best party, my name is Ren S. Alvians. A merchant who has just started his business." Ren introduced himself with a smile.

"Yosha, the introduction is over. So Client, we have to escort you to the city of Rondelia right?" Kazumi asked.

"That's right, can we leave today?" Ren replied expectantly.

"Hm. Hm. Sure, Arisu, Yuki, Reigin, let's get ready first!" Kazumi spoke up passionately.

Ren said goodbye to Party Four springs to prepare first.

The two sides promised to meet at the gates of Ceeven City in an hour.

'This trip, it's gonna be a little interesting.'

Ren who was sitting inside his horse carriage muttered in a subtle tone.

Hiring adventurers is not just to smooth the disguise. But Ren would dig up as much information from them as possible. Because it seems like the information of these players has not spread among ordinary people of this world.

Even Duke did not suspect Ren as a player, proof that the players hid themselves well.
