“Woof!” A rather excited-looking ruby wolf charged at an unsuspecting salamander. Before the creature could even turn around its head was between a set of sharp teeth. A crunching sound was heard by the nearby people that didn’t even really pay that much attention to the low-level creature being slaughtered. “We are already in the lower section of the dungeon? How long have you known about these tunnels?” “That’s a trade secret. Agni, be sure to take out these monsters when you see…-

“Now that it’s over and I have some time, I need to give this a go before it’s too late…” “What’s that boss… Looks complicated.” Bernit commented while stoking his own beard as if he was a researcher himself. “It’s just a part of an illusory rune that I’ve been working on, I’m missing a few elements but now I can at least piece some parts together…” “Is that so, well I’ll leave you to it but you might want to postpone that.” “Oh?” “Your guests…

Roland glanced at the status screen of the person that had arrived. His level was above Emmerson and just like the other Knight Commander he had a spirit variant of a class. It seemed that Theodore Valerian didn’t just allow anyone to become a knight commander, having at least a somewhat prestigious class was a requirement. Usually, classes like High Knight were more prevalent among tier 3 class knights but both of the people he was hiring had prestigious variants of already more prestigious class…

“I know that I placed it somewhere in here… There it is!” After the little crash landing, Roland quickly gathered up his armor and returned home. Considering that none of the parts flew off his body, it at least proved that the silvergrace suit was clinging to the parts well. Even when receiving some physical trauma from the fall the magnetism helping to hold everything together still worked. Even if he was all out of mana he implemented a few runic batteries as a backup generator, unless his new…

“Another vague title…” Roland glanced at the new title that he received after finishing this new armor set of his. To his surprise, after it was all done the world’s system allowed him to name this item. It was quite the finicky method as the first words that he blurred out were applied to this item. ‘What would have happened if I said some random words? Would it register anything or does the intent count?’ It was a good question but he probably wouldn’t ever find out. If he ended up…

“This material really isn’t bad, didn’t know the dwarves were hiding on to it…” “See Boss, I told you this would be much better than using a chain-mail. Luckily those bastards can’t deny us anymore but they seemed even more docile than usual, did you say something to them?” “I just gave them a small pep talk while picking up the anvil.” Roland shrugged a bit at Bernir’s inquiry as he didn’t want to let it slip that he was already abusing his new position. While they were…

“I bring some ill tidings.” “What happened? Weren’t ye suppose to close that deal? what’s th' hold-up?” “Weel sir, it seems that th' City Laird decided to not sell us th' rights nor does he wantae rent it.” “How come he wouldn't, did ye offer him th' usual cost? Does he expect moar?” “Na, he wouldn't even budge when ah showed him th' premium prices, Ah think he wants to keep th' exclusive rights to th' mines… or does he want somethin else?” Dunan was having a…

“I’m glad to see that you’re doing fine, Lord Arthur.” “Yes, I’m glad as well but I would have been even gladder if the bodyguards that I hired actually kept the side of their deal.” “W-we are terribly sorry, the repair of our equipment took a lot longer than we anticipated and we also encountered some wandering monsters on the way here…” “I see… What do you think?” “It’s… possible, sometimes craftsmen overestimate how much they can handle at once.” Arthur…

“Well well, so you finally decided to show yourself, little brother…” “Greetings, Elder Brother Theodore, This might be the first time we had the pleasure of talking since our last meeting.” “Last meeting? I’m not sure I recall but we are not here for idle chit-chat, what do you want.” “Straight to the point, I always liked that about you Elder Brother.” Arthur was showing one of the fakest smiles that he could while trying to remain calm. This was his older brother that was…

“It’s never easy…” “If something comes easy then it never lasts long, that’s what my Ma’ used to say.” “I guess she was right.” “Well, I’ll go get the things from the list Boss, see you later.” Roland nodded at Bernir while staring at a schematic that he hung up on a wooden board. It was mostly a sketch of the end product that would be his armor. He stayed up half the night yesterday just to make it. After his battle with Emmerson, he discovered a few flaws in the…
