Conquering A Land Of Magic

As we headed towards Valinde, Aedus told me everything I needed to know about the world, at first I looked strange for asking things like the number of countries that exist or the value of money, but who cares how I look after everything once we get to the city I will never see him again, In short, what I discovered was:

That this world is called Egevias and there are 5 continents: Olmand is the continent where I am, in this continent there are the Zerafall empire, the kingdom Wolfheart, the Kingdom of vallen and Servan City State, being Valinde a city of the Zerafall empire. The other continents are Sylvannona, the continent where the elves hide, Olaia where the Union of the Dukes of the South and the Vulture Merchant Alliance are, Minandion where the demi humans live and finally the dead continent of which nothing is known.

In terms of money is quite simple there are four types of currency are: copper, silver, gold and the last is made of a red material called crimson gold, and each currency is worth 100 times more than the previous one, 100 of copper are one of silver, 100 of silver are one of gold and 100 of gold is one of crimson gold, and a normal family needs 10 silver coins to live a month. Speaking of months, this world has exactly the same as on earth, 12 months, 4 weeks for each month, 7 days for each week, the only thing is the year, in this world they measure it from the day that the first human kingdom, so we are at the beginning of the year 1500.

And finally, the Ranks, the mages, the Warriors and the monsters have Ranks, another prop with Ranks are the experts in runes, they are a branch of the mages, and they use runes to create magic tools and golems, they are divided into four Ranks : ordinary, superior, supreme and legendary depending on the level of golem or magic tool that can create, After listening to this, I decided that when I get to the city, I will pass myself off as a rune expert in that way. If someone asks about my weapons, I can say that I made them, finally I asked Aedus what kind of work someone like me could get, to which he responded.

(Aedus)Why do not you become a mercenary? you are a strong mage after all, if you became a mercenary you could make money fighting during wars, and maybe you do not know but there are many and very often, also during peace you could hunt monsters outside of cities and sell the bodies or you could do jobs for merchants and nobles

(Alexander)sounds good

(Aedus)if you want to do it I can help you, after all I still do not pay you to save me, but if you want to become a mercenary you should recruit more comrades, nobody recruits individual mercenaries, if you recruit some for your mercenary band then I can introduce you to people who could hire you

(Alexander)Yes, I think I'm going to do it

I'm going to create a mercenary group and complete the second mission

[I'm glad that the host has not forgotten that I exist]

(Alexander)Shut up!

(Aedus)what's going on?

(Alexander)it's nothing, do not worry...

......

After several hours in carriage we finally arrived in Valinde, while we did not approach the walls I wonder what I should do with respect to my identity but Aedus is a very important merchant in the empire and after talking to the guard they gave me an identity card with my name and my age, while the rest of the information was invented by Aedus. Once inside I realized how amazing this city is. The walls were 20 meters high and the doors were big enough for 4 carriages to pass next to each other, the buildings inside were 4 or 5 floors, even though they are in the medieval age.

But leaving my amazement aside I must say goodbye to Aedus, he explained how to find him when I had my team of mercenaries and gave me a key to stay in an old inn that he owns, apparently he closed it because the person who attended died and still can not find anyone to take charge, so in order not to have to sell it, he gave it to me as a base.

(Alexander)I can not accept this, it's too much

(Aedus)do not worry you saved my life and that's the most important thing I have, take it as an investment, in the future when you have a strong mercenary team help me to take revenge on those who tried to kill me

(Alexander)It's fine I'm going to take it, I promise that one day I'll pay it

......

The inn was a square building with 3 floors, has an inner courtyard of about 200 square meters with a well in the middle and also has a small bas.e.m.e.nt

(Alexander)curse, this seems like a mercenary base, there are more than enough rooms for recruits, the inner courtyard can be used for training and with a little work closing the windows that look out and changing the wooden doors for doors Iron can easily be built in a small fortress, you can store supplies in the bas.e.m.e.nt and get water from the grounds and you could resist a siege

the gift that Aedus gave me is incredible, but also difficult to keep, spend all day cleaning the dust and dirt inside, when I have recruits I will make them clean

(Alexander)fufufufu

[the host laugh is scary]

{Alexander}{what did you say?}

[I said the host must rush to get recruits]

{Alexander}{it's true but first}

I went to find a carpenter and a tailor to do some things for me

......

The next morning I get up and left the inn and look up the entrance, just above the door there is a sign that says "Mercenary Group Vladivostok" while on each side of the sign there is a flag that like the name of the group It's my hometown, I did this to remember where I came from, but where I'm not going to come back, from now on this is my life, I'm not Alexander Smirnov the soldier, now I'm a mercenary and in the future I'm just going to fight for me ... and for the women I get ... after all, Aedus told me about how no one seems strange that someone powerful has many wives, so why not take advantage, if you go to Rome ...

(Alexander)In short, what is next?

[what follows is to get money, the host spent everything on that stupid cartel and those flags]

(Alexander)...*sigh*
