Karl considered Ophelia’s suggestion. He had been thinking the same thing, and Hawk was also eager to get out of the city limits for some time.
"Does everyone have their home location for [Recall] set to the Guild House? That would make it much easier to go on overnight hunting trips. We could go out, hunt and then just recall home so that we don’t have to waste days walking back." Karl suggested.
Hawk had a better idea. He was large, and flying. He could just carry them to where a good fight was, then they could play all day, and come back in the evening. No need to sleep anywhere uncomfortable unless there was nothing good nearby.
One after another, the group members nodded. They had all set their [Recall] location here as soon as they had received the spell, and now that they were going out of the city, they even had a reason to use it.
Tessa smiled. "That sounds like a good idea. Give it a day or two of rest and recovery, and then we can head out for a trip. You should make enough items to keep the shop stocked while we are away as well.
We wouldn’t want to run out and have Davis be forced to make excuses like that we were out gathering materials."
Ashbringer laughed at the thought. "That might actually be true. Many beast materials are great for crafting, and there will be many sorts that we don’t have in stock right now.
If you talk to the Guard Captain at the gates, he should have a target map for sale that will point out recent complaints from town leaders about what types of monsters and magical beasts they have encountered.
They’re a standard intelligence gathering stop for adventurers on their way out of town, and the price is reasonable, since the Lord wants the problems controlled as inexpensively as possible.
If that means encouraging those not in his employ to do it, then that’s what he will do. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
You could make quite a bit selling the monster materials as well, but I suspect that you have no real reason to need to do that when you could keep all the valuable bits for yourselves, or the Guild." Enjoy new adventures at freewebnovel
Karl smiled at the Demon. Ashbringer was an Overlord Ranked master smith, so there were certainly some wonderful creations that he could produce if he had the right materials. Most of what he was making now was limited to the Royal Rank quality by the materials that came from the Dungeon, with a few items a month made of special ordered Overlord Rank materials.
If they went out hunting, they could gather many beast materials, but Karl wasn’t certain how many of them would actually be relevant to the forge, unless they could be used to make alloys.
That sort of material was usually better suited to a leather worker than a smith.
Maybe they should hire one of those as well.
As the day moved to evening, the flow of guests continued, with as many coming in as were leaving to attend to their daily duties. But they all seemed extremely impressed with the competence of the staff at the Darklight Host Guild House.
Not only had Davis managed to take a few custom orders, but he had also sold many stock items. The food and drink were a constant flow, with nobody going thirsty, even if the servers were somewhat unconventional, being a pair of Lamia girls and a pair of large Naga warriors, all at the Overlord Rank.
Many didn’t realize that they were conjurations and not high-ranking Guild members pressed into service, but the fact that not once did they complain about their duties was deeply impressive.
Even the War Champion had brought out trays of food for the outdoor tables, so that the guests of honour would not be disturbed as they socialized.
It was a unique Guild experience for many, who had expected them to be based on the strict hierarchies of the old Noble houses that had existed for thousands of years, before the Guild Functions had recently come back online.
Only when it started to get dark, and a garden party was no longer polite and proper to continue attending without stated evening plans and invitations, did the crowd finally disperse, leaving everyone exhausted.
Even Lotus was barely moving, though that could have been the crash after a day-long sugar rush.
