Chapter 80: Owlspring

Chapter 80: Owlspring

“His majesties want me to send a small welcome party to our new neighbors,” said the handsome young man with pale skin.

“I will begin the preparations immediately,” said the man, in a grey robe, and the young man turned from the city he was watching through the balcony to a man in a grey robe.

“You sound disappointed,” asked the pale, handsome young man. “I am not worthy to question the tri majesties decision,” said the man in grey robes, shaking his head.

“Have a little patience, Mahgar. In a few more years, we won’t have to hold back. Till then, prepare the welcome party,” said the young pale man, while the man's grey robes nodded, with excitement burning in his eyes.

...

“Welcome to the rose wind. Mister Silver, I hope you will enjoy your travel with us.” said the woman as she welcomed me to the ship.

She is a petite woman, wearing a blue uniform with the logo of her company on her chest and a nameplate on her chest.

“I am sure you will not give us any chance to complain, Lorna,” I replied. “You will find our service impeccable, mister silver,” she said, with a hint of flirting. “I hope so,” I replied and walked past her.

Concierge took my bags to my cabin while I remain on the deck with Carla and Caena. The guards have also remained, standing in various positions, without making it seem too obvious.

I am leaving for the Owlspring, and the guards are necessary for security.

There are twelve of them, and I will hire more when returning. With the girls I am planning on bringing, I will need more guards than now to deal with every problem that I might come.

A few minutes passed, and enchantments on the sails and the rest of the ship had lit up, and the ship begin to move.

It is afternoon, we should be able to reach the Owlspring by eight. It takes seven to eight hours to go to Owlspring from the Greltheaven, but five to six return from it. Due river flowing from north to south.

I watched till the ship sailed from the Greltheaven, before going back to the cabin, which was being guarded by the four guards, including Jonah.

Inside the cabin, I took out various files and the binder. Some contained my plans, while others contained the information I have brought.

I am planning on getting a lot of girls. I need to.

Norman is earning a lot, even when I pull a lot of customers from him. It is because of the sheer scale and operating time of red fragrance, and I want some of that.

It will take me a while to reach such a scale, as I don’t have capital, and even with the capital, I wouldn’t be able to do it fast.

For the quality of the experience, I need to go slow. I could not just bring a lot of girls and expect them to work as experienced girls. No, they needed to learn the ways, and it takes time.

Click!

A few minutes later, Carla appeared in my cabin, and time passed too quickly.

Soon it was evening. The sun had completely disappeared, and two moons are glowing in the skies.

Seeing them, I couldn’t help but wonder if anyone had tried to reach them. I have read, some tried and even succeeded, but there is no concrete information about those incidents.

The information is not so open in this world.

At seven, I walked out of my cabin onto the deck. It is a beautiful night, and it feels even more beautiful.

Caena walked beside me but did not speak. She just stayed in silence, enjoying the beautiful night.

“The night is beautiful today,” said Caena after more than fifteen minutes. “Yes, it is,” I replied, staring at the water, which is bathing in the silvery glow.

A few more minutes passed, and we reached the confluence point. The place where northhare and vale rivers meet and create the Trollmouth river, which flows through the Renwell region.

Owlspring, which is between those two rivers and their confluence, had also become visible.

It is shining in the night with a glow that seemed no less bright than the moons above.

The closer we got to it, the bigger it will become and soon I could see the huge port. Where ships coming from both rivers are stopping. Seeing them, I couldn’t help but feel envious and hopeful.

The Owlspring is the border city of the meldhorn, but hugely prosperous.

It is a southern center of merchant city-states, where ships from the east and west of merchant states and kingdoms come. Now, the empire had also been added to the list.

The ship got closer and closer to the city until it was right in front of us.

A few minutes later, the ship docked at the pier, from which I could see the bustling port. It is not as big as Namdar, but not much smaller either.

“I hope you had a pleasant journey, Mister Silver. Do travel with us again.” said the woman. I nodded and walked out of the ship with Carla and Caena.

The carriage was already waiting for us. The driver opened the door as we arrived by it, and we stepped inside. A few seconds later, the carriage begin to move through the bustling port.

“It is really beautiful,” said Carla, and it is. Thousands of ships floating in a confluence create a scenic view.

It seemed more chaotic than the Namdar, but it is not surprising given the sheer number of ships.

This is a main trade point. The goods from many cities in the state of Meldhorn, and Oksall came and go to Belnin and Nova Alyra. Not to mention many kingdoms.

It is a filthy rich city, and one day; I want to have a tiny piece of it. If my business kept growing, it won’t take long for that to happen.

Till then, I will have to be satisfied with the girls from here.

As I watched through the window, I was shocked by the people in the city. I have not seen such a scene even in Namdar.

Every other person here is non-human. I saw orcs, dwarfs, elves, and people from many other races. They are everywhere. I have hard believed that these people are just a few hours away from Greltheaven.

I want to curse at empire and emperor who brought his discriminating ways.

No one dared to say it openly, but every merchant and noble knows that the discriminatory policies of the empire had made it lose many economic opportunities.

If not for that, the empire would have been even more prosperous.

Soon, the carriage passed through the gates and entered the proper city. Owlspring is one of the oldest cities in the whole merchant states. Much older than the city of Meldhorn, which it is part of.

It was over ten thousand years old and had been destroyed many times in the incursions and built back again.

One could feel the history of this place in the air itself.

The city is huge and with various districts. The carriage is moving toward the ainsworth district. It is one of the market districts of the city. The things I came here are found in that district.

Soon, the carriage reached the ainsworth district, and it was bustling. There are shops of all kinds here. I have even spotted a couple of indentured stores. Some were small, but some were big, bigger than the one I had gone to Namdar.

Namdar also had big stores, but I had gone to one where I know the owner. I have gotten a pretty good discount.

Here, I will not get the savior discount, but I am fine with it. The only thing I want is the best girls. As long as I get them, I am even willing to pay even double for them.

A few minutes later, the carriage stopped in front of the mansion. I had rented it for three days. It had cost me quite a lot, but it is necessary, given the number of contracts I am planning to buy.

The cream color mansion was beautiful, made in Geim architecture, which bore similarities with Victorian architecture.

“Welcome to hain mansion, Mister Silver.” said the handsome man in his mid-thirties, with radiant green hair and slightly pointed ears.

He is clearly a half-elf, and he is looking at Carla.

“Is everything prepared according to our needs?” I asked, forcing him to focus on me. “Yes. I have made the preparations according to your needs.” “I have also booked the table at the best restaurant in the ainsworth district,” he said.

“Good,” I said, and he led us into the mansion while informing us about the things I had asked him to prepare.

Tonight, I plan to eat an amazing meal and explore the city. Tomorrow will be all business.
