Chapter 62: Hospitality wasn’t on the cards
/*Sorry for being MIA. Have been under the weather and floods too here */
"Manager, the only thing I could retrieve was this. I hope with this mana core, you can help the families of the deceased," Aric said as he fished out the mana core. From Elowen, Aric knew that this mana core was precious and would have fetched them 100 gold coins at least.
100 gold coins was a huge sum of money for ordinary people. Another reason he produced the mana core was that if he had kept it, some greedy men might have targeted him. Though he wasn’t afraid of them, that didn’t mean he would invite trouble.
The manager and Albert were flabbergasted when they saw the mana core. The manager’s eyes held appreciation as he looked at it, and he even asked them to use the mana core to pay the families.
"You have surprised me. I will put your name in the top recommendation as the next bell boy," the manager said.
"Killian, you will do no such thing. Aric is already traumatized, and there is no need for him to run headfirst into trouble," Albert intervened.
"Albert, you can’t shelter this kid forever. He will have to open his wings and leave the nest one day. Besides, the boy needs the money," Killian said. That was the name of the manager of the Adventurer’s Guild.
"What money?" Albert was confused, as he was sure that Aric was richer than Albert himself, so he didn’t understand why Aric would need money.
"Ah, Uncle, what he means is that I need to go out too. Thank you, manager, for the recommendation. I won’t join for the next few days, and only when I am perfectly fit will I consider it," Aric said. Killian was happy to know this, but Albert was confused about what Killian meant by the money part. He was curious, but he didn’t ask Aric.
