Lawrend lifted Allen into his arms and stood up.
"Alright, let's go to the Great Njiro Forest."
Lawrend had decided to enter one of the dangerous forests surrounding the Vanhan Plains. There were stories of adventurer parties entering the forest, but they were never seen again. This should be a great training ground, in Lawrend's opinion.
"What about your things, Young Master?"
Aleshia asked in worry. If they enter the Great Njiro Forest, it would be hard to bring their things with them.
"We'll buy a small warehouse to store them in."
Lawrend answered. Since there are many warehouses in the Port District of the city, there should be small ones that are relatively cheap.
"I understand."
Aleshia nodded her head, and they both left the inn together. Aleshia drove the carriage that the inn parked for them.
Lawrend and Aleshia soon arrived in front of the rchant Guild, and they entered it. The people inside were already back to normal. They don't need to worry about any threats anymore. After all, the demons were already gone.
"Uncle Kaban."
Lawrend greeted the white-bearded man behind the receptionist desk.
"Oh, Lawrend! I'm glad that you're safe. I heard that it was a disaster around port 14. Nurous buildings around it were destroyed."
Uncle Kaban was overjoyed seeing Lawrend's unhard appearance. He had already sent soone to ask if any red-haired teens died. Thankfully, Lawrend was standing in front of him, safe and sound.
"Yeah, it was scary."
Lawrend answered with a wry smile on his face. The power of that demon woman and the Guild Master is really unbelievable. It was so awe-inspiring just rembering it.
"It's good that you were not a casualty. I would have been chopped to pieces by your father in anger."
Uncle Kaban joked with Lawrend with a smile on his face.
"Haha, yeah."
Lawrend chuckled. His father was not that violent, but he could imagine that he would vent his anger to soone.
"Anyways, what do you want? I know your father. He won't just co to if he doesn't want anything."
Uncle Kaban asked him curiously. He was very familiar with Lawrend's father, and he could imagine that Lawrend would be acting very similar to his father. After all, like father, like son.
"Ah, yes. I want to know if there are any small warehouses that I can buy? I want to keep so goods there for the ti being."
Lawrend told him.
"I will give you one for free. Just remind your old man to co by and have a drink with ."
Uncle Kaban gave Lawrend a wink.
"Sure!"
Lawrend imdiately agreed. This was a rare chance to save money, and he wouldn't let it go.
"Haha, here's the address and the key."
Uncle Kaban laughed and passed Lawrend a key and a piece of paper.
"Thank you! I'll relay your ssage to my father."
Lawrend thanked him before bidding farewell.
"Stay safe, kid. Don't be like your father, who has many regrets."
Uncle Kaban also bid his farewell to Lawrend.
Lawrend furrowed his eyebrows when he heard the last part of Uncle Kaban's words. He looked back but just shook his head. Uncle Kaban would probably not explain it to him anyway.
Lawrend rode the carriage parked on the side before Aleshia drove it forward, and they traveled to the address listed on the paper. This small warehouse was located far from port 14, so there was basically no damage here.
"Oh, this warehouse is not bad."
Lawrend was impressed. This warehouse is not old. It must be expensive if he had bought it.
"I'll help you, Aleshia."
Lawrend said to Aleshia.
"Thank you, Young Master."
Aleshia responded with a sweet smile. Lawrend helped her unload the goods that they had brought with them into the warehouse.
Soon, they were done.
"Alright, we're done."
Except for so essential things such as clothes and food, Lawrend had basically dropped most of the stuff inside their carriage, like the stuff they looted from the bandits.
"Next, we need to pass by the Mage Guild. I need to borrow so books about magic from them."
Lawrend said to Aleshia. The Mage Guild is the only place that Lawrend could think to have any resources that could help him train faster.
"Young Master, do you think that I can get stronger?"
Aleshia couldn't help but ask Lawrend. This started to worry her. She was an assassin by trade, and Assassins don't really get stronger unless they learn the sword or use magic.
"Do you want to try magic?"
Lawrend asked her. That's the only way he could think of that she could get stronger.
"I do, but I don't know if the Darkness-elent would suit ."
Aleshia answered Lawrend. The Darkness-elent is one of the many elents that mana can take form. Top-tier assassins widely use it to complent their skills.
"We won't know if we try."
Lawrend smiled at her.
"Yes."
Aleshia nodded her head. She then drove the carriage to the Mage Guild.
When they arrived, the Mage Guild was very busy. Mages in cloaks are running about.
Lawrend and Aleshia were taken aback. Everyone looks so serious and focused on whatever it is that occupies them.
"Are you perhaps, Lawrend?"
A mage suddenly asked Lawrend.
"Yes, why?"
Lawrend asked in surprise. He doesn't know who the mage was.
"The Guild Master has been waiting for you."
The mage replied. He then led Lawrend and Aleshia to the Guild Master's office.
When they entered, Lawrend noticed a bed that wasn't there before. The Guild Master was lying on it. A beautiful busty woman wearing a green cloak was sitting beside him.
"Hm?"
The woman raised an eyebrow when she saw them enter.
"You are?"
She asked inquisitively.
"I was led here because the Guild Master was looking for ."
Lawrend answered.
"Oh, is your little sister alright?"
The woman suddenly asked when she saw Aleshia enter the room. There was a knowing smile hanging on her face.
"Huh?"
Aleshia looked at her in surprise. There was sothing about the way she looked at her that was familiar.
