[Caïssa - Headquarters]
"Here are all the files of the people you requested for me to find"
"Alright, thanks"
Without glancing at Smallsnake on my left, I took the files from his hand and threw them on the desk I was currently working on.
A week had passed since I learned about Ren's past, and nothing changed.
The renovations for the warehouse were pretty much done. With my limited budget, I could only redecorate the place to make it look more presentable, but there really wasn't any high-tech equipment nor training rooms here yet.
I was too poor for that.
"...What are you doing?"
Seeing me discard the files he had just given me, rolling his eyes, Smallsnake couldn't help but ask
"I'm making preparations"
"Preparations for?"
"Well, let's just say that in four months I'll be going on a long trip with a couple of people..."
Frowning, Smallsnake couldn't help but tilt his head in confusion
"...if it's in four months why do you need to start making preparations now?"
"You wouldn't believe me even if I told you"
I will be going to find a cure for a curse that has been universally acknowledged as something that didn't have a cure.
...was what I wanted to say, but he wouldn't believe me even if I told him so.
Moreover, I also didn't tell him that I was not going to be on earth throughout that whole trip.
So may as well just dodge the question.
Speechless, Smallsnake could only pinch the middle of his brows as he continued.
"Anyhow, I did look at the profiles of the people you had previously recommended to join our mercenary group, and I still don't understand why you want them?"
Taking the file that I threw on the desk, Smallsnake opened it and took out three profiles.
"I sort of understand why you want to recruit Ryan Polive, but why a monster tamer and an old mercenary?"
Pointing towards Eva's and Leopold's files, Smallsnake frowned.
"Isn't the monster tamer class useless since they can only control one beast? Moreover from what I've been told, the beast they tame can't even increase in strength."
Without glancing at Smallsnake, I continued scribbling on a piece of paper.
What he said wasn't wrong.
Monster tamers weren't very sought after due to their limitations with regards to how many beasts they could tame. Normally one, on rare occasions two.
Moreover, the beasts that they could tame couldn't become stronger. Their strength was fixed. Meaning that if you tamed a
No matter how much food you fed to it or how much time you spent training it, the beast was forever going to stay at
Unless you got a new one, you couldn't raise its rank.
...and that's where the real problem laid.
The expenses needed to sustain a monster tamer were astronomical.
The costs of capturing and feeding a ranked beast probably amounted to the same costs needed to raise multiple ranked heroes.
It just wasn't worth it.
"Don't even get me started about the mercenary"
I did have a couple of short-term solutions that would allow me to make a lot of money, but in the end, if I wanted to sustain a whole mercenary group, I needed to think more broadly.
I need to create a steady source of income.
...and fortunately for me, a plan had already started formulating in my head.
