Taking a light power nap in my room I decided to take a short break from grinding in the Labyrinth to walk around the town some more. I had some time to think about my current situation, and I have to sadly conclude that with the current amount of money I can obtain from my dungeon-crawling expeditions, getting enough money to buy Roxanne will be impossible. The exact amount of money I can make by grinding monsters on the Labyrinths first floor for several hours is 200-300 Nar. At best I could earn a 1000 Nar, but only if luck was on my side. But then I had to consider the amount of money required to pay for an inn. It wasnt that much, but its going to keep piling up, hindering my finances even more.
In the end, it all boils down to getting more money. All for the sake of buying Roxanne.
Even if I decided to go down to the Labyrinths deeper levels, it would be foolish of me to expect that Ill ear 10 or 20 times more coin there. Maybe my luck would turn for the better if I happened upon a treasure chest, but so far I didnt stumble upon even one of those, making me feel like I shouldnt count on finding them at all.
I should focus my efforts on making money outside of the Labyrinth after all. There was one option that was available for me from the beginning, the one that might net me the highest profit.
Bounty Hunting.
How do you know that?
At the back of the crowd, a merchant was talking with an older-looking Adventurer. They were talking in Brahim, so I could understand everything they were saying.
Isnt that obvious?! Just look at his hands! See? The left one has been chopped off!
Ah, now that I take a closer look, youre actually right.
Oh, looks like hes been offed less than half an hour ago.
I couldnt see it properly from where I was standing, but it looks like the corpse in the street was missing its left hand. Maybe it was because the culprit wanted to hide the victims identity? After all, it takes up to 30 minutes for the Intelligence Card to disappear naturally after death. But I better not say that out loud. The last thing I want is to attract more unnecessary trouble towards me.
Make way! Make way I said! Let me through!
Someone must have already reported that there was a crime, because the knights from the guardhouse have already arrived on the scene, with the beautiful female Knight from earlier leading them. So I guess that in this city the knights act like the police, huh?
A Bandit. Go and clean the body up. Once you do, dispose of it.
Yes, maam!
The female Knight barely even glanced at the body before issuing her orders. This was obviously a murder case, and theyre going to do literally nothing about it? Thats cold.
Our business here is done. Everyone, back to the guardhouse!
She ordered her company to return to their station, climbed on top of her stallion and headed back as well. Wait, is that it? Are they really going to leave this case as it is?! And everyone is fine with that?
Apparently everyone was indeed fine with it, because as soon as the female Knight left the crime scene the crowd naturally dissipated and everything went back to normal as if nothing had happened.
