Chapter 28 Not A Kid
After the kidnap incident, three weeks have passed, during this three weeks the soldiers usually worked towards getting a pass from the government of the kingdom.
Even with the assistant of Fatso, who had an above average rank in the police force, the process of getting one was still difficult
Meanwhile, during this period, Liam was usually visited or going to visit Cornelia, after that incident their bond has grown stronger, at this point, Liam really felt that he was liked by someone for the first time despite her class.
And today, being the first day of the month of May, they were finally invited to the population center.
Fatso was with them on this occasion dressed in his usual oversized clothes that almost seems like he was a big yam inside a rice bag.
Everything went out smoothly since Fatso was with them.
During this time, their relationship with Fatso was almost bearing friend but the geezer was too money greedy so they didn\'t pick him a friend.
Liam, being the leader of the crew was asked to use his own blood to sign the oath of ownership.
Liam did so, and signed by drawing the English letter L in a super cursive method that was very hard for others to copy.
Finally the pass was given to them.
With this pass, they could enjoy every right that a normal citizens has.
The first thing Liam did was to buy horses and carriages, and also hired three female servants.
When they got to the inn, Fatso was still with them so they paid him to go house scouting for them and gave him the description of the house they\'d like to get.
Later that day, in the evening, the geezer returned with the photograph of a house that wasn\'t that big but fit their description.
It costs just 30 gold coins, therefore the next day they bought it and moved into it.
The house has four bedrooms which has their own bathrooms, a training room, a room for alchemy and blacksmithing, bathroom, kitchen and every other thing a house would need.
This happens to be the first time Liam has ever bought something this big, so he initially let out a sigh of self appreciation as he walked leisurely around the house.
\'After getting everything, there\'s still about one hundred gold coins remaining. luckily, things here are cheaper and hundred gold coins will mostly be sufficient to get several hectares. but I\'ve been thinking too much about spending money and not the other way round. what if the money gets exhausted?\'
With that, a problem arose.
Although, Liam is a kid that will clock four years old few months from now.
Even with his young age, he did not have a family that will give him care and money if he needed thus he has to be cautious about spending too much and thinking of ways to make more money.
After living two lives and seeing the harshness, he have made up his mind on several things and one of them is to never be poor and dependent on others.
\'I need to call a meeting with the soldiers to discuss something about this, but first I need to discuss this with Bradley, he looks more intelligent and trustworthy compared to the others and might bring up an idea that will help.\' Liam thought to himself as he strolled around.
...
Two days after Liam and the soldiers and the three servants entered their new home.
Currently nighttime, Everyone except the servants were gathered in the garden seating in carved stools as a crystal lamb lit up and illuminated part of where they were.
The house was fenced, and two soldiers usually stay guard over the gate at night.
Nevertheless right now there was no there because all them have been summoned to a meeting.
Liam has already discussed the matter with Bradley, Bradley with his immersed ideas of family matters have also made plans that will help and was going to discuss it with the others.
"So, you\'re suggesting we start up a trade or set up a guild and become adventurers?" One of them asked, he was named Clinton, and he was the soldiers whose legs was broken during the attack exchange with the bandits back then.
Right now, his leg was fully bandaged and there was wooden clutches in his hands that he used to support himself from falling.
Liam seated in a stool closed to Bradley\'s was also pondering on the the two limited options they have right now.
Normally, there would have been options like crafting weapons or forging pills, but unfortunately, none of them had knowledge concerning that so they were only left with the other options.
The soldiers immediately entered a moment of deep thought.
The first thing they considered was the money, setting up a guild was easy and setting up a trade was the easiest but financing the trade was the most difficult.
"I\'ve walked through this kingdom and I\'ve noticed one thing, they only have one guild, which is the police guild also known as the Blue-Black guild and they\'re mainly concerned sigh securities concerning the securities but not everyone place their trust in them because they are not trustworthy even with the age long fame for being the one and only guild in this kingdom and also on the neighbouring ones..."
"Let\'s take Fatso for example, the dude is money hungry just like every other member of the guild. if we can set up one, although it might be hard to gain popularity and customers but if we can complete a vary difficult mission our Fame will skyrocket and we will become a well known guild around the Kingdom and beyond which directly means that our income will skyrocket as well."
"On the other hand, If we go with the trend and choose to set up a trade, we will have to fight other traders for customers except we have something they don\'t have that\'s important to cultivators but unfortunately we don\'t have any. what are your suggestions guys, these are the only ones I can think of for now." Bradley gave a long speech.
The soldiers came up with different ideas but at the end of the day, they decided to go with building a guild and directly become an enemy of the police guild and also the enemy of the nobles who are in support of monopolising adventurers for just themselves.
....
The soldiers tried to set up guilds with their passes but the nobles opposed it.
Meanwhile, as Bradley was busy trying to set up the guild, Liam who was inside his room looked at the final countdown to the awakening of the second bloodline soul.
