After learning where I might be able to change my class, I started gathering information about Blood Hill Wilderness. I learned that it is a high level hunting ground. Rarely do people go there. It was quite far away as well. It will take a few days to travel there.
I estimated it will require an over level 50 party to go there. But this is the opening day of the game. Where would I find players who are over level 50? There won't even be a player who is level 5 right now.
But I think there is still a way. Afterall I am currently rich as fuck. Though when I bought potions or equipment with this money. I couldn't equip them, only trade them. So it seems like this money is only for trading. But if my guess is correct, I can use this money for something else which might solve my current problem.
I searched for a while and stopped in front of the building. There was a sign board which had White Sword Mercenary written on it. This is one of the famous mercenaries in this town. I went ahead and stepped inside the hall. There were many mercenaries talking and drinking sitting on many tables in the hall. I came in front of the counter and asked the girl sitting there,
"How much will it cost to hire high level mercenaries for a scouting mission?"
When I asked this many people already started glancing at me. As a son of the Gold Merchant family I obviously had expensive clothes on me. So I guess that's why people were glancing at me. But it's not like I will be easily extorted.
The girl at the counter replied with a smile, "A level 50 or higher mercenary will cost 30 or more gold coins."
"What about even higher level mercenaries?"
"How high are you asking sir?"
"Maybe level 70 or 80?"
"Then you have to talk with the guild leader. Should I arrange a meeting with the guild leader for you?"
"No, no. It won't be necessary. I want to hire 5 level 50 or higher mercenaries for an escort mission."
"Where do you wanna go, sir?"
"Blood Hill Wilderness!"
The girl gave me a little surprise look.
"It will cost 250 gold coins."
"what? How's it so much?"
"Journey to Blood Hill Wilderness is very dangerous and risky so that's why it costs more."
"150 gold coins." I sternly said.
"Sorry sir, it can't be helped."
"160." I started bargain
"240."
"170."
"230."
An intense bargaining started and finally we decided on 200 gold coins. My 200 thousands dollars! TwT
Anyway there will be a level 53 tank, a level 55 warrior, a level 51 magician, a level 54 archer and a level 49 priest.
After a moment the mercenary party came up. A tall, handsome looking guy with brown hair stood in front of me and said,
"Hello, I am Maxwell, the party leader of this team. We will escort you safely to Blood Hill Wilderness."
I nodded and started preparing a carriage to set. Before that I sent a letter to the city lord's mansion. When I was searching for mercenaries I found out that to create a trading company you can send a letter to the city lord to get his approval.
After I everything was settled me and the mercenary party set off. The one who was driving told me that it will take 2 days to reach there so I logged out. 2 days in game means 16 hours in real life. The time ratio in game and real world is 3:1.
So meanwhile I turned on my laptop and went to the game forum. It is being flooded right now with new posts every second. Most of the posts were related to the new family system as well as tutorial quest, class etc. People who got a good family were complaining because it was restricted somehow or another just like mine. And those who haven't got a good family were complaining why they didn't get a decent family.
There were also posts about the grand opening event which will start in a day.
After checking the forum for a while I got bored so I turned off the laptop, stood up and went to the gym for some exercises.
