Novel Full Chapter 474
“Where will Master be heading this time?” Faeyna shot to the point immediately.
“That’s a good question. We need a place that we can reach by Portal. Somewhere on the ocean of Aberis. Preferably a city with a port.”
“You would most likely be interested in King’s Port. It’s the largest port in Aberis.” Faeyna seemed to have already familiarized herself with a map of Aberis. “However, only a powerful mage like Master can open a portal that distance. You’d need two transfers to get there with a standard travel magician. Fortunately, such a route was devised by the Traveling Guild for those who wish to visit the beach on vacation from the Capital.”
Never underestimate the value of rich people wanting their comforts. It looked like such a route existed and I wouldn’t have to do any lengthy travel. King’s Port sounded like just what we were looking for.
“When does it leave?” I asked, fearing the trip would still take ten days.
“The Traveling Guild opens the route tomorrow! Ah… but the complete trip is 10 gold per person. Very expensive.”
Most tourist traps were, but 10 gold was nothing for the current me. I pulled out a bag filled with money. I didn’t even bother to count it before I just handed the whole thing to Faeyna.
“In that case, Faeyna, purchase supplies you believe will sell well in King’s Port. We’ll stay the night in the mansion. I just have one more errand to run.”
“Yes… Master… so, I will be attending you tonight?”
“Of course,” I responded.
I mean, since I’d be in the mansion, she would probably prepare my bed, clean my clothing, and cook dinner. She was my maid after all. However, her cheeks suddenly turned bright red and she started looking flustered.
“Good job, Master!” Lydia gave me a thumbs up and whispered encouragingly. “Be assertive as you push her down!”
“Ah!” I realized then that by attending, she meant in bed! “No, rather… that…”
“I’ll take my leave first, Master!” Her voice was high as she covered her face with embarrassment and fled.
I was stuck with a finger up and my mouth open, unable to correct the mistake. I must have seriously shamed her by telling her to have sex. She was an elf and couldn’t do it with me, so by making her think she had to, she must have been quite hurt by thinking her Master was going to be cruel to her. I wanted to go apologize, but I also still had things I needed to get done. The group of us went to one last location that I had forgotten to visit before.
“Aberis Life Insurance!” A woman greeted me in the front of the store.
“Yes, I’d like to register with you,” I explained.
In the end, I had to fill out a bunch of paperwork that assessed my risks. It asked what I had done and what I will be doing. Once I was done, I handed it back to the girl. She read the document, a small frown forming on her lips. Then she slapped a stamp on it.
“What do you mean, high risk!” I cried as I saw the stamp on the paper.
“It just means you’ll have to pay twice as much, as there is a high likelihood, you’ll need it.” The woman responded shortly.
I felt like crying, but I ended up paying the fee anyway. They took a drop of blood and placed it in a crystal. I paid enough for them to check on the crystal for the next twelve months. It felt really strange doing all this, but I told myself it was for safety. With the chores done, I patted off my pants and headed out with the girls.
However, when I walked out the door, there were twelve Paladins surrounding us. They all had their weapons lowered. Before I could say anything, the ground under our feet exploded with light, and I realized we were standing on some kind of magical glyph they had prepared while I was in the shop.
“Deek Deekson, you’re a hard man to find.” A snobbish priest came forward. “However, now that we have you, I’d like you to accompany me.”
