Chapter 7: Settling of payment with clientA couple of days later, Kimberly and her party returned safe and sound.
“Welcome back, let’s go to the blacksmith for the time being.”
I stop Kimberly who is about to go to the tavern and lead them through the streets.
When we reach the blacksmith, we pay in advance for the sword to be sharpened.
Next, we go to the leather craftsman asking him to repair the armour and again pay in advance.
Finally, we headed towards the Guild.
After we receive the reward from the Guild we calculate our expenditures.
Deducting the total amount by the cost food, arrowheads, catalysts, sharpening and repair fee. Leave 3 Big coppers and 5 coppers remaining unspent.
I stop Kimberly from immediately trying to divide the earning amongst them.
“Ginger, how many magical catalysts are left?”
“There are 2 fire and 1 wind catalysts left.”
“Kimberly, what about the remaining arrows?”
“There are seven.”
“Well we will take that out as expenses, is market price when we bought them fair?”
Regarding the prices they had all been together when they bought them, so they noded in agreement.
There was only enough money left over for 8 coppers per person after everything was done and dusted.
‘Is that all&h.e.l.lip;’ Was how everyone felt.
“Well, that’s just how Goblin subjugation is, but you guys knew that didn’t you?”
My words reminded Kimberly of their previous quests.
Well at least they were not losing money.
“The cost of my service is 1 copper per person coming up to 4 coppers in total please.”
Well it is better to not ask for too much from novice adventurers.
I spent an hour before and after their quest, guiding them around the city.
So, to earn 4 coppers in such a short amount of time was not a bad deal at all.
Compared to the novice adventurers that earned 8 coppers after 3 days of hard, life threatening work.
Still, I could see that without my help they would definitely be in the red.
With this service, you can put half of the reward away to save. It also decreases the likelihood of fighting with part member over money. Then in one month you can upgrade your equipment.
I thinks that I should also accompany them when they go to upgrade their equipment.
