I needed to figure out a way to burn through my fortune. At the current rate of 500 gold coins a day, things were starting to look a bit ridiculous. I already had a substantial amount saved from selling those Orc materials. Honestly, if I were just looking for some pocket money, the Orc loot would've been more than enough.

"Lies!" one of the guards, Uzaru, snapped, gripping the hilt of his sword in anger.
