Chapter 20: Rent-a-miracle
“Congratulations…gentlemen,” The Exchange Hall clerk said, glancing at Loth as he handed the two bags of delicious gold to the two of them.
“Feels light,” Will muttered.
“Amounts over five hundred gold are paid in Ivory, to save weight,” The clerk said with a tired expression. “Now if you don’t mind…” he waved them off.
Will was halfway to the door when he made the stunning realization, stopping in his tracks.
This is it. This is the wealth I was looking for. I could go back outside The Tower, buy a couple businesses, get married to a cute baker girl and supply her with as much wheat and sugar as she needs to keep me rolling in delicious, fluffy buns.
Will opened up the sack and pulled out a single ivory coin. That alone was worth a large portion of the orphanage itself.
Suddenly, with the option of an easy life laid out in front of him, his declaration of conquering the tower seemed a bit…misguided.
Will shook the impulse away.
Gods, they told me the majority of Climbers stop in the first ten floors, but they never said how tempting it was.
