The tavern's second floor was Joshua's workshop. Joshua has been sleeping here the past couple days. Ciri was doing the same.
But, the situation today was slightly different. Today, Joshua brought over all the money he earned since the opening of the Hearthstone Tavern to the second floor.
"If this pile of gold coins are placed in the countryside somewhere, it will most definitely attract a dragon to guard and sleep on top of the gold coins!"
Ciri was repeatedly using illumination magic to increase the brightness of the room. It was all so that the giant hill-like pile of gold coins could glisten with light.
Having been by Joshua's side for so long, Ciri has witnessed Joshua doing a lot of astonishing and unimaginable things. But, of all the things, it was this that caused her to feel a sense of loss toward the reality.
