Chapter 89: Towards Trade City
Yale was really interested in being an official citizen, that would solve any identity problems, and if in the future he had to leave the Revgen Empire due to his problems with that Zhan Clan faction, he would have somewhere to go.
“I like that. Anything more?”
Oscro relaxed after seeing that Yale wasn’t opposed to the idea because without Yale he wouldn’t be able to make a successful company, Yale’s identity as the Silent Healer was essential.
On the other hand, Yale didn’t even know how to make a company or any business, so he alone wouldn’t do anything.
To execute the business Oscro had designed both needed to work together, or it wouldn’t work.
“As a company, we will have access to some resources that can’t be bought with money alone, that includes spells and skills, but also pills, items, and even information. If we become more important, we will have access to even more. We can even get some voice in the Zuatania Merchant Association’s affairs in the future.”
Oscro saw Yale’s face and understood that he needed more information about it.
“Sometimes I forget you have amnesia. The Zuatania Merchant Association elects the Zuatania Republic’s government, and the government is under their orders, so it can be considered that the association is the one controlling the republic. Trade City is actually more important than the true capital of the republic due to that.”
Yale was shocked by that piece of information because he hadn’t imagined that the merchant association had that much power.
“You can imagine the benefits it can have for us being able to speak in a place that can decide about the republic’s future. I have never planned to aim that high before, but after meeting you, I feel that we have chances of accomplishing it working together.”
Oscro had a vocation to do business, and he had always dreamed of making a company that reached the peak even in the Zuatania Merchant Association, but he was rational, so he had never aimed to turn that dream real before. However, after he met with Yale, that impossible dream started to seem more real, Oscro was already able to devise how should they act to advance toward it.
Yale didn’t have ambitions in regards of power, but he wanted that right to speak in the Zuatania Merchant Association because that was also a relevant background. If a noble of the Revgen Empire attacked someone with authority to vote about affairs of the whole Zuatania Republic, it could provoke a war.
“If I manage to reach that point, I won’t need to fear the Zhan Clan. The other clans and the Imperial Family wouldn’t let a war happens due to my mother’s matter.”
Even if Yale thought that; he didn’t know about the exact distance between the Zuatania Republic and the Revgen Empire, he hoped that both were near as having a good position in Zuatania would have more effect. If both were too far away from each other the deterrence of status would lose effectivity.
That was Yale’s biggest fear and also the biggest flaw in the plan, but he still agreed to Oscro’s idea of making a company.
“Let’s do it!”
Yale decided to bet in that making a company would still be useful even if his the deterrence plan fail. The part about obtaining information that money couldn’t buy was also enticing to Yale.
Furthermore, Yale wasn’t sure that the Apprentice Pill was what his past life planned to obtain, maybe the true objective was something in those items that couldn’t be bought only with money.
Oscro almost jumped when Yale accepted. He quickly started to make plans to start the company as soon as possible while Yale went to practice in silence.
Yale used to practice every night instead of sleep, but as his level had increased a lot before leaving the special realm, improving was far more difficult than before. Moreover, he didn’t spend too much time training in that month, he only trained at night, so his Origin Points remained the same after the month ended, but Yale felt that he was near to increase them.
At dawn, Oscro went to exchange more valuable items with money; the merchant association only accepted cash to register a company.
Usually, obtaining cash in a short time was difficult as everyone valued it a lot, but as everyone understood the meaning of Oscro exchanging only items for money, they gladly accepted to do a favor to him even if they didn’t obtain direct benefits.
Oscro knew very well the reasons for such favors, so he wrote the names of everyone who helped to obtain the cash, he planned to repay those favors after the company was an exit.
After all, no one will trust a company that was unable to repay the kindness they received and only went mad for more benefits disregarding everything else.
That day Yale healed a lot of people since the rumors about their group going to Trade City spread at high speed.
It was difficult that an elemental healer went to the Outside Town to heal people, most healers in Trade City were arrogant, and sometimes they wouldn’t treat even for money, they chose those who they wanted to heal.
Thus, the appearance of someone like Yale, who healed anyone as long as the other party could pay the fee was something difficult to happen again in a short amount of time.
Everyone who needed a healing and wanted to be healed by the famous Silent Healer before he went to Trade City, rushed to meet Yale to avoid wasting the opportunity.
Of course, that day Oscro only accepted cash as healing fees which made easier the process of obtaining enough paper money to register the company.
One day was enough to obtain all the paper money they needed. Since everyone felt that they were about to leave the Outside Town, they rushed to do transactions with them for fear of being unable to establish some relationship with him before they leave.
The profits that day were enormous, but that was also something Oscro calculated, people tend to act more rash when they felt that they have limited time.
“Tomorrow we will head towards Trade City. Remember that we can’t make any transaction or heal anyone until we have the company registered and approved. Trade City laws are very strict with that. We will lose our lives if we dare to make an illegal trade inside the city.”
Yale nodded, he didn’t have problems with that, the one who was always looking for more ways of making money in any situation was Oscro.
The next day both went towards Trade City’s main gate, that was the only form of entering the city without breaking any law.
Two guards were standing in front of the door to stop anyone without permission from entering the city, that was something common in most cities.
Oscro showed a medallion that identified him as a citizen’s son, with that they have the rights to enter the city without problems.
The guards nodded after seeing the medallion, but one of them stared at Yale.
“You can enter, but he can’t. He doesn’t have any identification, and he is with a beast. If he dares to enter the city, I will kill him.”
Oscro was angry at the guard’s words, there was no rule about that, so the guards have some amount of authority deciding who could pass. Usually, they wanted some incentives to change their opinion. The only exception were those with a medallion in their possession; the guards couldn’t touch such people.
Oscro was about to speak, but the other guard interrupted him.
“Shut up fool! You are new here, and yet you are acting mighty. Don’t worry my friends; you could enter both without problems, I will ensure that. As for the beast, I will send this junior with a huge mouth to solve any problem it could have.”
The man who spoke first didn’t know what to do, but seeing his superior’s serious face, he left to fill out some documents.
“Sorry by that. I will punish him later, how dares to threaten to kill the Silent Healer.”
Yale and Oscro were shocked even if they didn’t show it; the fact that even a senior guard was on their side was something unexpected. However, Yale had healed a lot of people, since the guards worked outside the gates it wasn’t that difficult that he had healed someone who had a relation to some guards.
“There should be more people like you, young friend. Usually, elemental healers refused to heal those they didn’t like, to the people in the Outside town receiving such healing is very difficult. You probably didn’t remember because you have healed a lot of people, but you healed a young girl a few days ago. She is my son’s girlfriend, and no healer wanted to treat her, she would have died without your help.”
The guard had a good impression of the Silent Healer since the start; he was the one who helped the girl to pay any fees required for the healing. Almost all the guards felt goodwill towards the Silent Healer, only a new and arrogant fellow like the one from before would dare to mistreat an elemental healer.If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know so we can fix it as soon as possible.
