The Panamic Adventurer Guild was a continental organization that connected the market and demand for Martial services surrounding the core of the Beast Domain, and Martial Artists who frequented the Beast Domain.
This gigantic organization catered across the entirety of the Panama Continent, and Rui suspected that due to being short on ti due to the sudden discovery of the Shionel Dungeon, the Shionel rchant Guild might have copied the Panamic Adventurer Guild.
"Regardless, the ranking system doesn't have much to do with us," Rui replied.
"True," Kane nodded. "Now then, the next move according to plan is…"
"Before that, let's get so rest and a real al," Rui sighed, wiping sweat from his forehead. "Best to complete the more important stuff when we're freshened up. I'd rather not have to use a potion when it is unnecessary."
"Makes sense," Kane nodded. "You wanted to avoid higher-end hotels, right?"
"Hotels have more thorough registration and managent faculty," Rui calmly explained. "There is a greater chance for a data leak to occur. I'd rather go to a more humble and smaller inn with no paperwork and upfront paynts."
"Aw, man," Kane sighed. "I really wanted to dive into so nice luxurious beds."
The central district of Kanour was far too luxurious in the possible avenues to book rooms. The two found a small inn on the outskirts of the outer districts run by a family.
"No need for registration, pay up-front and we'll give you a key." The man smiled with a thumbs-up. "You can also get two als a day for two bronze coins each. That's quite the discount you know? My wife's cooking is the best!"
"Two rooms side-by-side please," Rui smiled.
"Will do!" The man laughed. "That'll cost five bronze coins per day."
Rui quickly took the amount from the Shionel currency that he had exchanged with the physical Kandrian currency that he had withdrawn from his savings. He did not want to withdraw it from his Martial Union account directly as that would instantly alert the Martial Union of his current whereabouts.
"Thank you for your patronage! Here are the keys, room numbers five and six," The man pushed two keys toward them.
"Thank you," Rui and Kane quickly made their way to their rooms.
They were both wearing ordinary clothes, and they both hid their presence as Martial Squires. Rui employed his Mind Mask while Kane employed a highly diluted version of Void Step where his presence was detectable, but his status as a Martial Artist was not.
Rui quickly drew himself a bath in a tub, before sinking in.
"Ahhhh…" He groaned with relief and relaxation. "That hits the spot."
He was surprised that even smaller-scale inns such as this possessed a bathtub, that was remarkably luxurious and sothing that only luxury hotels in the Kandrian Empire.
('That standard for all goods and services is several levels higher in the Shionel Confederation than it is in the Kandrian Empire,') Rui mused as he gave it deeper thought.
It made sense, there was a reason all the small-tirs they ran into outside the Shionel Confederation were not even qualified to set up shop inside the Shionel Confederation. That ant that all those who were people who were able to stay competitive inside the Shionel Confederation. It was no wonder that the basic quality of goods and services was higher than even what he had seen in the town of Hajin.
It was only after an hour that Rui managed to muster up the willpower to pull himself out of the comfort of his bath, before dressing up and eting up with Kane.
"You all freshened up?"
"Yeah, got a good bath and caught so rest," He nodded with a relaxed expression.
"Good let's catch so dinner before talking about our plans," Rui suggested as the two of them headed down to the small little makeshift canteen that existed on the floor below the ground floor, before quickly collecting als and retreating to their rooms.
"No one's nearby at the mont, regardless, speak extrely quietly," Rui told him.
Being Martial Squires, even the mildest of whispers were extrely clear and audible to them, thus they could converse extrely lightly. Asides from remarkable esoteric wiretap technology, and another Martial Squire, Rui was relatively certain that their conversation could not be spied on. He was equally certain that neither option was the case here at the mont.
The possibility of a wiretap that could pick up even the minutest of conversations was probably cutting-edge technology, nothing he saw from the intelligence team assigned to the Vilun settlent was capable of this. And his senses were extrely sharp and very few Martial Squires could possibly hide from his sharp sense.
"So what's the next move?" Kane asked.
Rui considered the question for a few seconds, before replying. "Assuming our first dungeon raid goes as planned, we'll gain a huge harvest from the dungeon. The question is what route do we ought to go with the plunder specifically. A solid minority of all Martial Squires raid and plunder the dungeon for missions from the Adventurer's Guild. Another solid proportion of Martial Squires raid and plunder the dungeon for patrons in the city. A lot of the wealthier rchants and corporates in the nation directly approach powerful Martial Squire parties and make lucrative deals with them privately outside of the jurisdiction and purview of the Adventurer's Guild. The remaining Martial Squires are deployed military or special forces or internal forces of the various nations' militaries or organizations like the Martial Union. The smallest minority of Martial Squires sell their harvest and plunder on the open market, usually through so third-party organization in various forms."
He looked at Kane. "We're going to be falling into that last group, for now, at least. We need a ans to sell our harvest in the market. So, what that ans is… we'll need to start a supplier corporation right here in the Shionel Confederation."
"What?" Kane's eyes widened as Rui grinned.
