The Game Rune System

Chapter 61: Merchant Subclass will be ready after this day!

Tetsuya's journey to Tonghen Province continued without much work from his side.

Rather than work, he had been doing what any normal person on the adventure would do. He and Ashley began to enjoy such little things as branch gathering because it would leave them alone.

It wasn't like Ashley needed Tetsuya to be alone to talk with him, but it was just that feeling! She enjoyed this moment of him alone being alone with her. Such moments would be usually just before sleeping, but the more the better.

The next city where Tetsuya would work together with the merchant finally spread its walls on the horizon.

This and a few more and Tetsuya would find himself in Tonghen Province, but he was solely focused on the merchant's subclass for now.

It also had been interesting to learn about the merchant's lifestyle. It was a job that required a lot of wits and nerves, "I usually have a lot of clients in Rede City. I am glad you are here with me, Narashi."

"It's fine. I found the merchant's job exciting." Tetsuya replied.

"Exciting, is it? I personally hated it at the beginning." Broney laughed as he remembered his early days after taking over his father's business.

He lacked experience and many people used his naivety to scam him, "The most important thing is to not show any emotion. But this applies to many works, so I guess you have heard about it already."

"I have." Tetsuya shrugged and followed the merchant.

They were already within the city and it was one of the safe zones in the merchant's life. They had to buy a spot in a stable for their carriages in one of the inns, then bring one of them to the market.

Otherwise, the merchant and his people would need to carry a lot of boxes on their own. It was rather arduous work and no one would gladly accept it!

The guards were guards and they would surely ask for some money!

[Rede City's Main Market Street]

More established merchants already have their own booths and even houses in the market street! Broney was a man who had a house on his own here since this area was filled with clients. 

This city was not that far away from the border between two provinces and one of the main gangs here had their main base.

Broney's stuff was versatile and he often sold resources required for the healing runes!

There were two kinds of healing runes commonly known by the majority.

The first type would be the self-healing rune that could be used by the owner on himself and people around him. In the game rune's system, such healing rune would be like the main rune for the healer class!

The second type would be 'the alchemy rune type'. Such rune could create something akin to disposable runes that would heal any user upon activating it. The rune also could create healing drinks and many disposable stuff in various forms.

That was why it was commonly known as alchemy rune and associated with the Rune Alchemists.

"Both types require resources!" Ashley said from within. As a bookworm, she loved to spread her knowledge, even more to her partner, "The self-healing rune's effectiveness can be raised by various resources, not only the user's skill and energy. Such a person also needs to understand various healing properties that many resources bring out naturally."

"As for the second type, I don't have to explain anything, do I?" Ashley smirked and nodded.

Tetsuya could imagine his blonde demoness deeply exhaling, his mouth letting out faint laughter, "You don't have to."

Of course, Broney didn't only rely on those resources! He also built his fame as jewelry designed, but it was his daughter's work! She could play with the jewelry and create things that any maiden would gladly put on her body!

He was a merchant whose goal was people from medium houses, so those weren't cheap, but also not that expensive.

As Tetsuya and Broney prepared the house's first floor for the influx of clients, the passing people spotted Broney's carriage and news quickly swept through the city.

"Such fame makes things easier." Tetsuya commented, then left outside to present some goods to every passing person.

He put these on display, then kept careful eye on everyone so that no stealing could be done!

After some time passed, Tetsuya became a witness of rather merciless sight.

"Please! Just one month more! I need one month to re-establish my business!" It was the young merchant, his clothes rough and unsightly. His hair was also sweaty and far from the glossy one.

No one would think of him as a merchant!

It also seemed like he reeked off something as the owner of the house pushed him away, "You got additional three months already! I haven't seen a penny from you in six months already, so get out and prepare to work in mines to repay me! If you dare to escape, then I will spread your name throughout the whole province! Mystic Academy's students are often helpful with that!"

"No! Don't do it! Don't" The young merchant wailed on the ground, but he quickly ran away as the owner kicked him in the stomach.

He couldn't bear any more shame and disappeared in the crowd of people that also slightly scattered due to his poor and stinky looks.

The owner of house brightly shouted, "Please, forgive me for causing such a ruckus! This person hasn't paid me in six months and I needed to kick him away! Now, this whole house is on sale as I plan to sell it wholly! I also can negotiate about rent, though!"

Listening to this, Tetuysa closed his eyes and turned to the side.

The merchants had their own problems indeed.

"I think one of the main quests should be to get a lot of houses throughout the cities and have proper income to maintain them well!" Ashley said from within.

Her partner agreed, "Well, fundamentals are the most important. The quest for calmness, the loyalty rune should be also revised for fame rune And we are ready to pass this class to our moderator. Let me talk with the clients myself too."

"But of course Get the most experience and create the best class! I think we can also pass some game rune to Broney and make him gather more experience for us! It's worth trying, isn't it?" Ashley added.

"It is. That's what I planned at the end of the journey. Upon his return to this province, Reyas should be able to notice him through the moderator's setting and make moves on her own Good."

"Yes! I see some fine ladies too Hmm." Ashley's voice teased the game master.

He just laughed and closed up distance to one of the medium class ladies, "Are you interested in this jewelry? If yes, then you must have a good eye."

"Ohhh, why is that so?"

"Because this one piece would emphasize your collarbone so much that no man would be able to take his eyes off you." Tetsuya's smiles seemed rather too convincing considering his plain looks.

But his eyes often broke the seal and the lady let out ringing laughter that quickly gathered the attention of other women.

"He might finally relieve himself soon" Ashley sighed, her hands on her hips! She already closed her eyes to remembering some sealing senses techniques as putting hands on ears often betrayed her.
