Chapter 171: The second meeting
Ozzy pulled out four glasses and a bottle of wine, pouring for all of them. He passed them out to his friends and then spoke seriously. “I think we should discuss something first, before we move back to town planning: Are we still set on supporting our Baron and building up the town? Is that the long-term goal?
I see Suzette tired at the end of the day and running crazy with several responsibilities. Ben is spending his free time doing extra jobs for Billy, with barely any time for his hobbies. And we all know Rolly wants to do things with Squirmy and explore weird places.”
Rolly spoke up first. “Squirmy and I are fine for now. We have some big plans, but things are fun here right now. I wouldn't mind hitting some dungeons together and seeing more of the city. When the five years is up, expect us to dive hip deep in adventure.”
Ben was also ok with the direction they were headed in.” I’m good for now. If the new town hall has a nice big room on the top floor, I’ll be claiming it for some experimenting. I’m getting in a lot of ‘adventure’ while on the road. Dodging assassins and fun stuff like that.”
Rolly smirked. “And meeting up with other couriers when you ‘just happen’ to cross paths every now and then at a town with a comfy inn?”
Ben actually blushed for a few seconds. “How the hell did you know about that?”
Rolly smiled. “I wasn’t sure. Now I am. As to how, well, you come home sometimes with that big stupid ‘I have a girlfriend’ grin on your face. You used to do that a lot when you dated that Pirate Queen."
"Oh god, don't tell me I'm that bad already? But yes, I've been seeing Harmony now and then. She wants me to spend time at Franklin House and attend the Couriers Academy. Luckily, I'm tied down here in town for a bit. It's a good excuse. :) I'll be ready to roam the Empire with her in a couple of years. I can do Billy’s chores until then."
Suzette rolled the wine around in her glass, giggling. “Bring her home sometime, Ben. We’d love to meet her. Ozzy?”
“I’m good for now. Work is getting more and more fun. Sometimes I think I should miss all the intrigue and spying I did in other games, but really, I don’t. Sort of fun to come home each night to a beautiful woman and wrestle with monsters by day.”
“But, I do want us to keep moving. Support Billy? Sure, but only because we are getting what we want out of the deal, plus a lot more. I want to see us on top of things at the end of the first five years. Let’s get stronger, make connections, gain levels, make money and improve the town. Someday we’ll be on the emperor’s yacht, sipping champagne and hobnobbing with nobility.”
“Let’s have a drink to that.” Suzette pulled out a dusty bottle of wine labeled “Gadobhra Red, the wine of Conquerors”. It had been in the cabinet when the town got rebuilt. The wine was dark red, fruity and full bodied with a peppery tang to it. They toasted each other and drank it down.This essence is securely nested within the heart of Nøv€lß¡n★
Ben whistled. “Wow, now that’s a wine to drink when sacking cities!” He used his chin to point to the north. “Or to take control of one.”
Ozzy agreed. “All in good time. We’re here for the long haul. Let Billy think he’s in charge for now.
Suzette looked at each of them in turn. "Then we are agreed. We stay loyal workers for now, grab every opportunity we can. And with that said, sadly, it's time to get back to business.
Suzette wrote out the list of things they thought were worth buying and left it in the center of the table. "Big question: What do we do with the Fae stuff?"
Rolly gave a thumbs up. "It sounds weird and neat. I like that. And if the options are rare, even better."
