Chapter 129 - 128 Increasing Funds



Thinking of all of the things that he need to get done today Marcus was starting to get a headache since there was so much to do.

\'First things first I need to increase my funds and then find a place where I can hire maids, butlers, or something.\'

With his rough plan thought out, Marcus decided to take a break for a while until Lilia woke up so that he coordinate with her, and after a full night of cleaning Marcus needed to rest his mind.

After around two hours where Marcus a read story book about famous adventures of old, Lilia finally woke up and came down to the kitchen.

Marcus seeing her heading outside probably to get water from the well took out a bucket he had already filled up and said, "Here you go I already have some fresh water ready."

Lilia seeing the bucket of crystal-clear water went over towards it and took a huge drink before cupping some water in her hands and splashing her face.

Once Lilia had washed her face Marcus explained what he wanted to do today and what he needed of her.

When he had finished the explanation Marcus and Lilia went over to one of the two detached and close by servants quarters to have a look around.

Taking a good look at the building Marcus could see that it was a long two-story building with one main room in front and eight smaller rooms going down each side for a total of sixteen.

Entering into the main room, Marcus found what he was expecting seeing that it consisted of a kitchen, an area to eat in, and a place with which to do laundry.

Satisfied with what he had found he looked through the other rooms on each side and found that they were all bedrooms of the same size with two built-in bed frames.

However, unlike the main building that still had all of its furniture and appliances abandoned, the servants\' building was picked clean and all that was left was the barebone structure.

\'Okay I am going to need to buy bedding for these rooms and other necessities like food. I can already feel my wallet crying out in pain, but I just have to do what I need to do. Now first things first I need to increase mt current funds.\'

After inspecting the servants living area Marcus asked Lilia to clean up the area as best as she could while he was out.

Marcus then called Blitz over and mounted on his back before having him run towards the estate\'s gate.

Getting back to the large gate that separated his estate from the city\'s road, Marcus noticed that he had forgotten to lock the gate when he first entered, but it appeared that the mansion\'s reputation had kept any trespassers out.

Exiting out the gate and making sure to lock it this time Marcus looked at the guard station right by the gate and sighed realizing he was going to need to hire someone to manage the gate as well.

\'Huh, I always used to think back on Earth how glamorous it would be to own a massive house but now that I have one it certainly is a lot of work.\'

While Marcus was standing outside the gate to his estate a few passerby\'s noticed him and began whispering and point wondering who the person that had come out of the cursed estate was.

However, Marcus paid them no mind and directed Blitz towards the inner wall.

With amazing speed Blitz shot forward in the direction Marcus wanted to go shocking the onlookers.

Traveling at over fifty miles an hour Marcus made much better time than he had when the carriage was still attached and in just thirty minutes, he managed to make it to the inner wall.

Stopping in front of the gate that connects the outer and inner-city Marcus asked the guards there for directions to the nearest adventures guild branch.

Unfortunately, the guards told him that it was closer to the edge of the city and quite a distance from where Marcus currently was.

However, the guards did tell Marcus that there was a series of toll roads throughout the city that people could use to avoid traffic if they had enough coin.

Thanking the two guards Marcus rode Blitz towards the nearest toll road and for the steep price of five gold even after receiving a discount for being a noble, Marcus was allowed to get on the toll road.

Looking down the road Marcus could see that it was basically a ghost town as almost no one used it for travel.

Bounding down the road it took Marcus just over an hour to make it to the other side of the city using Blitz\'s superior speed and after another ten minutes Marcus had located the branch of the adventures guild.

Tying Blitz up outside the building Marcus walked into the guild building and saw a number of people milling about looking at the request board or having an early morning drink.

However, when Marcus entered, he did attract a decent amount of attention since he was dressed better than the average person and his ethereal beauty was captivating.

Ignoring the stares that were being directed at him Marcus made his way over to a certain board and wanted to check something.

Looking around Marcus soon found his portrait and name hung up on the wall of wanted people and the bounty on his head had gone up to two thousand gold.

\'Well, if I wanted some fast money, I could always turn myself in.\'

After having a quick chuckle thinking about how he could make a lot of money off of himself Marcus headed over towards the reception booths and waited in line.

Once it was his turn Marcus asked the receptionist if they would buy some magic cores from him even without a request and the woman who was helping him said, "Yes the guild is willing to buy any and all magic cores since they are always in high demand but normally you will get a better price from one of the people requesting for magic cores."

Marcus of course knew this, but since he was currently only at the bronze rank with Irene, he did not have the required rank to accept requests that were asking for higher level cores. This was done so that merchants did not scalp a bunch of cores and take request they normally could not complete on their own and undercut the hard working and higher-level adventures.

Of course, Marcus with his impressive level and status could probably get his rank as Irene raised and even have his probationary status removed but he did not feel like wasting time with that whole song and dance right now.

"Yeah, I understand that I could make more off of requests, but I have a large bulk of cores of varying grades to sell, around two hundred."

The receptionist then looked at Marcus like he was pulling her chain, he did not have any visible bags or anywhere he could be holding that many cores.

She was about to tell Marcus to leave and not mess with the receptionists again when Marcus took out a dozen cores and placed them on the counter.

Marcus had made sure that these were all cores from beasts or monsters level twenty or over garnering the surprised attention of the receptionist.

As she looked at the cores that normally only silver rank or higher adventures would bring in, she just stood there for a few moments staring at Marcus before she collected herself and took out a list of prices that the guild was willing to buy cores for depending on their size and grade.

Pulling out a number of cores most of which he had obtained from monsters on the trip from River Landing to the capital, Marcus stopped once he had pulled out two-hundred and thirty cores leaving himself with only his best thirty left.

The receptionist began counting and detailing the value for each of the cores Marcus had displayed.

Taking a number of minutes to make sure of the quality of each of the cores the guild employee finally came up with a total price for the cores Marcus had displayed and handed a sheet over to him stating how much the guild would pay for his cores.

\'Six hundred seventy-eight gold, eighty-one silver, and forty-three copper.\'

Looking over the price list Marcus found it acceptable even though he knew that if he had the right connections or rank, he would have made more, but he was in need of quick cash and sold the cores away.

Of course, the receptionist helping him did not have the authority to make such a large purchase and after getting the vice guild master\'s approval Marcus was handed a number of sacks full of coins.

With a new slosh of funds secured, Marcus asked the receptionist where he could find a weapons store since he wanted to sell the weapons he had taken from bandits along the road.

Once he had the directions, he thanked her for her time and began heading towards the exit of the guild.

However, before he could get out a handsome man with golden hair came up towards Marcus and said, "Hello there miss, I could not help but see you transaction with the guild just now and I must say that I am really impressed. My name is Tiberius, and I am a veteran silver rank adventurer, and I would like to give you the honor of joining my party. We are all over level twenty and I am certain we will soon break into the gold ranking. How about it with your item box and our strength we can easily rise to the top."

Marcus not even glancing at Tiberius began walking past him and simply said, "No thanks I am busy and have no intention of joining an adventuring party right now."

Tiberius a bit angry that Marcus was blowing him off reached out to grab his shoulder but before his hand could even touch Marcus, Tiberius was suddenly staring at the ceiling before he crashed onto the ground.

Tiberius laid there completely stunned, he had no idea what had just happened, he had not even noticed when Marcus had grabbed his arm and flipped him into the air.

Many of the adventures seeing this looked at Marcus with surprise since they knew that while Tiberius was a bit full of himself, he was still quite strong at level twenty-three, but this random girl had just flipped him over like he was made out of cotton stuffing.

Marcus then exited the adventures guild under the curious and wary gazes of every adventure in the building.

Untying and mounting Blitz, Marcus continued on his journey to increase his wallets size and began heading in the direction of the weapon shop he had been told about.

Finding and entering the shop Marcus unloaded every weapon he had obtained throughout his journey except for the wicked black sword and managed to get another thirty-two gold coins.

\'Okay this brings my total funds up to just shy of a thousand gold coins which should be enough to keep me and Lilia going for some time.. Now then I need to find a place where I can hire some people to take care of the large mansion I have somehow obtained.\'
