the sky was clear and the City was once again lively after 3 days, news spread and opened the city to new prospects as travelling merchants from all parts of the land came to buy materials that they miraculously acquired by killing 200 mid-level Warmonger Trolls, their equipment became the sole property of the Viscountess Hilas Ugrihron, and included the family member of those Soldiers that died in the battle, Loki Ingeborg and Earl Reeve Gallien- joined hands in managing this huge material asset for the sake of the bereaved families,
the metal that was gathered was all made from Shroomite regarded as the third most expensive metal because of its usability in crafting other items like weapons and energy conductors, its light and durable that could withstand a 100-pound force impact with a velocity of 25 miles per hour, the two Guild offices were filled with a large number of buyers as they divided all of the Shroomite metal and forge them into new materials that the Viscountess agreed upon, and must be inclined with the city needs
the Royal Guild was given the task to forge armour and weapons for the newly hired soldiers she will obtain, while the Golden touch merchant guild fashioned the other half of the Shroomite metal into usable tools in construction, farming, medical tools, and small remaining portions of it will be sold as decorative ornaments to earn enough capital to pay the newly recruited soldiers,
stories about the Black Battle mage named Lā mǐ'ěr became a hot topic as the survivors could not help but admire him and became an inspiration to those who survive the battle, most recruits assumed that he was part of the Viscountess military rank officers, and hundreds of civilians line up at the military garrison to personally see who was this powerful warrior, Loki was filled with so many paperwork, he already asked Fionne the Beastkin and his sister to work double time,
Since the lobby of the Royal Guild was overflowing, guild personnel were forced to set up a temporary reception desk outside the warehouse, while Cathetel Adoel, the head clerk, who stands 5 feet 4 inches, manages business transactions and oversees the warehouse's inventory.
It was known for Cathetel Adoel to swing a punch at those who disrespected her, and Loki often had to intervene to stop the brawl, unlike Loki who was mild-mannered and tolerant in conducting transactions. She was known for being short-tempered and extremely temperamental to arrogant and self-important people. Loki even predicted a huge quarrel would start the moment she faced the buyers, but he was surprised that no conflict occurred at her station for 3 days.
Taeriel barged into Loki's office declaring he was awful and bad in designating personnel in the guild, Loki was annoyed but just smiled at his sister and politely ask, what does she mean bad in designating personnel,
"I have worked my butt off and was concerned for 3 days, but I never complain the moment he came back from gathering medicinal herbs, but you decide to partner him with Cathetel!"
"Oh, that! Ramiel personally requested to work with Cathetel because she is very knowledgeable in medical plants and creating specific herbs for specific ailments ."
Loki had to make up a convincing storey that Ramiel was Gathering herbs when the battle broke out and just returned a few days ago, he personally requested to direct him to anybody who was an expert in medicinal plants because he was still lacking in that particular knowledge. he told his sister that it was just for two days,
so just leave him be because he still has to face the issue that the Viscountess has been harassing me and has been requesting that he must persuade the Black Battle Mage named Lā mǐ'ěr to answer her call to reward and discuss the city's future, and with him as the main contributor to this plan,
another day went by while the Viscountess patiently waited for the Black Battle Mage to answer her personal appearance at her mansion, she sent out numerous letters to the Royal Guild and politely requested Loki to convince Lā mǐ'ěr to answer the Viscountess invitation,
but Ramiel said no to all of them and just continued on to what even he was doing, he would finish a random level task and then right after getting paid he would just leave unannounced without nobody noticing him, and returns back to sleep and secretly train for 3 hours in random intervals the only time Loki could talk to him if he wanted to avail the guild's services especially in buying rare books and cooking condiments. and casually socialize, help out and eat with the guild staff members.
Loki was able to ask Ramiel secretly about the things he was doing after the war troll battle, and he just answered him with a few words,
"I am exploring and learning new things to increase my knowledge in many fields, and the best teacher is always actually experienced,"
"don't you worry, I m still within the territorial boundary of the Ivlares city, I still have a lot of tasks to accomplish before I move on to a different city,"
"by the way, are you really sure you are not going to reply to the Viscountess invitation?"
"Loki my dear friend remember what you told me before, that is not to get involved in political matters especially when it comes to those who continuously fight for power,"
"ah! yes but! this is affecting me, in the worst possible way! can you just casually drop by her mansion as a gesture of respect nothing more nothing less,"
"And you going there as the Black Battle Mage named Lā mǐ'ěr, and not as Ramiel, you still have your freedom to do whatever you want,"
"and to tell you the truth is getting really hard to explain the high-level task being completed without getting paid personally,"
"so can you just visit her, please? just do this for my peace of mind!"
Ramiel just smiled at Loki and tap his shoulder with a firm gesture that he might consider it within the coming few days, he just need to finish his research and training,
