Chapter 117 Panning To Recruit
"Wait, you do not even have a home yet!?" Master Jamason was now wondering what he was getting himself into. He had never heard of anyone betting with someone to make them work for them, only to be homeless!
"It's only a matter of a few days. The five... erm, six of us do not stick around for long periods of time. We are always traveling, which is why we are not looking for a normal house but a house that is in a kind of space that only those we decided to let in are allowed to go to. This of it as a magic realm. A space separated from this world." Vance tried his best to explain. Luckily it seemed that Master Jamason understood.
"A space separated from this world...." Master Jamason's eyes went wide as Vance's words began to sink in. "I see... no wonder you do not have a home yet. To think you were trying to acquire such a place." n/.OVeLb1n
"It is only a matter of a few days. We will be leaving tomorrow, so you only need to wait at the inn for the good news." Vance was about ninety percent sure he could win the event. As long as the coins were in the spots he remembered during his first life, then things should go smoothly. After the event, he read many things about the event, and many people talked about where they had found their coins. So as long as he speeded through the event area and grabbed up those coins, he should be able to win by a large margin.
"Alright, I really want to see this home you will be getting that is locked in a separate space." Master Jamason was a bit excited now. He wondered if he didn't need to pay off his debts and could just hide in this separate space thing.
"Don't think about not paying off your debts." Vance's voice floated into Master Jamason's ears, causing him to almost jump out of his skin. He wondered how Vance knew what he was thinking!
"Vance, will you give him that?" Alice asked softly.
Vance thought about it for a moment before saying: "Only after we get the guild deed. Once we get that, I will give him a system, so he can have an inventory and even raise his crafting skills. He is already very good, so to have a high level weaponsmith in our guild will make things much easier even as we expand."
"Oh? You plan to expand it?" Alice asked curiously.
Vance nodded as he answered: "In the future, if we want to be able to progress, we will need the help of the other worlders. Without the ones who can die as many times as they need, we will not be able to grow stronger easily. We will end up being very slow due to having to take precautions and not taking on the harder challenges. As our levels grow, the harder the monsters will be."
Vance was not stupid enough now to think he could solo the world anymore. He now knew the importance of having people to be meat shields. Now that he had four girls and a fairy to watch out for, he could not allow them to be put into too much danger. He could only give them items to protect them. And even then, it was not for sure that they would survive with just these few items.
This was why he decided after he won the event, he would begin building up a guild. But he also knew by doing this, he was going to be ruining many lives. But to protect the ones he cared about, he was willing to destroy the lives of others. He had been contemplating this for a while since he did the dungeon and took Cynthia in. He would need to be selective and hope the people he took in would at least take things the same as Cynthia did.
Vance was not sure if just inviting someone to the guild would cause them to be stuck in the game or not. Or if it was just teaming. Either way, he would need to figure these things out. And figure out where his own moralities lay.
Soon the big tired woman on stage announced the final items up for auction. "Today, for our final five items, we will be auctioning off five sets of ten holy potions. And to make sure you all know that they are true holy potions, we will demonstrate the healing effects on Prince Alexandra, all of whom you know was beaten earlier until he became a pig face."
Two men walked out on stage carrying Prince Alexandra by his arms and legs. They showed him no courtesy as they dropped him on the floor with no gentleness at all before walking back offstage.
The big titted woman took out a potion from between her breasts and walked over to Prince Alexandra, popped the cork, and then shoved the potion into the swollen lips of his pig face. In a matter of seconds, the swelling on his body began to disappear, as well as the bruising.
Once the contents of the vial were gone, Prince Alexandra's eyes blinked as he sat up, looking around in confusion. "What? What happened?"
The big titted woman ignored Prince Alexandra's question as she looked at the audience and said: "Everyone, give a round of applause to Prince Alexandra for his participation in proving the effectiveness of these holy potions."
"I what!? Are you making fun of? This Prince!?" Prince Alexandra yelled out in anger. He had never been so humiliated in his life. He began seeing fragments of a demon who kept hitting him over and over. A chill ran down his spine as he quickly looked around him to see if the demon was around. Only when he did not see that man did he let out a sigh of relief. He ignored the applause from the audience, and got up somewhat unsteadily before walking off stage. He just wanted to return home at this point. He did not want to end up being beaten again for no reason.
