A few minutes later, Fozir and Greg come out from the back store. I immediately ask Fozir if I can buy this Champion armour set as I want it.
"You have a good eye on picking a good armour, I could sell you this armour but you should know the story behind this armour." Fozir started to tell the story.
"Legends say this armour is once the armour of one of the five old heroes, it was tough for me to get the armour from the other merchant as the price was too high. I somehow managed to get it and I thought I could sell it for a higher price because the armour set is now complete. Sadly, everyone who buys this armour returns it to me as they said the armour is cursed. All the previous owners told me that every night they dream that they were wearing that armour and die in an unknown dungeon." Fozir ask me again whether I still want to buy that armour.
I never expected that the armour has it cursed but it may be just some story to get a r****d from Fozir. Even if the armour is cursed I am still buying it, I agree to Fozir deal and accept to buy the armour.
"Alright, the Champion sets cost is 25000 Gold."
When I heard that it was 25000 Gold, I was shocked as it cost a lot of gold. I quickly check my gold balance and it seems that I am short of gold right now as I need 15000 Gold more. I told Fozir that I don't have that much gold and hoping that I have 10000 Gold right now.
"I could sell the armour for 20000 Gold as the armour was cursed but for 10000 Gold, I think I can't do that as I still need a little profit."
I ask Fozir if I could do anything to make him sell the armour for 10000 Gold. Fozir thinks for a moment. He then told me if I could get him the 10 Mythril ore he would sell me that armour for 10000 Gold.
"Fozir, do you want him to die there!" Shout Greg as he disagrees with what Fozir wants.
I don't know what were they talking about. "Is getting that Mythril ore is hard and dangerous?"
Greg says that the place was full of high-level monster and the layout of the cave will make anyone lost and confused.
"It's not that I force him to go there and he could hire some mercenary to accompany him to that cave if he wants," Fozir than ask me if I wanted to do it or not.
Without any hesitation, I say yes and I will get 10 Mythril ore for that armour that I like. Greg was surprised by my answer and told me that I should hire some mercenary from the guild if I do not want to die. Fozir then gives me the map for the cave location.
I ask Greg if he could take me to the mercenary guild but he refuses to go back to the castle after this. Greg gives me the location of the guild, I thank Greg and leave the blacksmith shop.
I tell Lily that we had to cancel our sightseeing to the arena, library and the grand church as I need to go somewhere else. I could tell that Lily was pretty disappointed as she making an angry face. I promise her that I would make it up for today and give her anything she wants instead.
A smile lit up on Lily's face, "It's a promise then!"
We then head to the mercenary guild location, when we arrive there and enter the guild. I could tell that all the people in the guild start looking at me.
Suddenly all of the people in the guild go wild and start shouting. "A customer! Do you want to hire us!" The guild started to get louder and louder until the guild receptionist tells them to stop.
"I'm sorry for the noise. I am Arya the guild receptionist." She then asks me if I was looking for a mercenary or wanted to join the guild.
I told her that I wanted to hire some mercenary. She told me what kind of mercenary do I want as there many varieties of mercenary here.
"I don't know but I just wanted someone that would help me get some Mythril ore."
"That is a rather difficult quest but first, may I ask you to tell me your name, classes and how much you willing to pay."
I told Arya that my name is Arias and I am a jack of all trades but I mainly use a sword. I am even willing to pay up to 5000 Gold. She then recommends that I hire two mercenaries and it's better to hire one tanker class and one healer class mercenary. I agree with her recommendations and she asks me to wait a while for her to look for suitable mercenaries for me.
I waited nearly for 15 minutes and Arya told me that she had found good mercenaries for me. She then introduces the mercenaries.
"This is your tanker and healer. Their name is Hugh and Diana. I have explained to them that you wanted to get some Mythril ore but if you wanted to discuss anything else, please use the room on the left." Arya shows us the room.
"Let's discuss our p*****t then," Hugh says that to me with a smile.
We then entered the room and started our discussion. While we at it, I check their level as I was curious.
[NPC Profile]
Name: Hugh
Title: Mercenary
Race: Human
Level: 91
[NPC Profile]
Name: Diana

Their level was pretty decent, and I was surprised by that, I thought their level would be below 50 as they were just mercenary. This world never stops to surprised and amazed me.
