"I don't have any money. Would you be willing to part with a few crystals?" I said to him as we reached the teleportation gate.
"You are Primary-III, more than capable of earning your living," he said and pushed into the teleportation gate.
A second later, appeared on the other side in a busy plaza.
I moved away from the teleportation gate and looked around the plaza. It is a morning here and everybody seed to be going to their places; I should go to search for a place to work.
I have money in my core, but I can't use it. This damn bracelet is hanging on my wrist.
It is invasive, but I could isolate it, but I don't want it. The risk is too much. Getting caught would send to jail or sothing else might happen.
I don't want to take a risk anymore. So, it is better; I find work that pays well. So, I could buy practice resources.
I would have needed to do the sa thing. If I took out the crystals from my core; I am empty of the resources I need.
They are opening a new ruin, which they have no idea about. I want to be prepared and for it; I need resources. My core did not have a resource; I had used them all in jail.
I put my soul sense into the bracelet and soon, the map of the ardan district appeared in front of .
It is where I am restricted to, I couldn't move away from its range. Which is not bad, considering it is a pretty huge district and seems to have everything I need.
Now the question is finding a job; not a normal job, but one that pays well. That I would be able to buy the first batch of resources I need for my treatnt in a day or two.
I am rapidly closing on the inheritance, and I have to do the sa with the treatnts. The blood-red flas have wiped out the blockades; so, it will be much easier for the treatnt to work.
I had already modified a few thods to suit the new conditions.
There are a couple of things I could do, but I have to do the less risky one. My first choice was to cook, but I imdiately rejected it; it is too personal; I don't want to reveal this fake identity.
The sa with formation. It is related to one of my biggest secrets, not to ntion it might bring unwanted attention.
That leaves alchemy; it is a rare trade, but I could reveal it. As most of the ti, I keep it hidden and use it for my own purpose. So, it wouldn't be much problem if I reveal it.
With that thought, I looked for the location of the employnt guild.
'It is a little far, but I should be able to reach it within fifteen minutes,' I said to myself and moved. If I used all my speed, I would get there in less than two minutes, but the city had speed restrictions.
I moved through the district, watching the business, people, and other things.
It is a beautiful city, with a penchant for dos. So different from Klahan and Haln. Well, it shouldn't surprise , considering I am on a completely different continent.
Fifteen minutes and twelve seconds later; I reached the nine-story employnt guild.
I looked around and walked to the second floor, before stepping into the alchemy sections. There are thousands of notices related to alchemy, from the requirent of rare resources to employnt opportunities.
I looked at all the employnt opportunities and my clones selected eight that might be useful to .
It would have been great. If I would have been able to go higher, there are better opportunities there, but I would need to be a mber for that.
Currently, I do not have money to eat, much less pay for a mbership. It is going to make getting employnt difficult, as I do not have an Alchemist guild mbership.
"There is no loss in trying," I said and walked out of the guild.
The first place is not far, I reached there in less than a minute. It is a twelve-story green building, with a sign of a beaker on fire.
Halnam's alchemy.
I walked into the building and saw the reception and walked toward it. I stopped in front of a man with glowing freckles.
"Hello, I have seen your ad for employnt," I said to the man. "Oh, are you an alchemist?" he asked. "Yes," I replied.
"What grade are you?" he asked. "Grade 3," I replied.
There are nine standard grades of the alchemist. Grand 3 ans, I could craft alchemical products of Primary-III grade.
"Can I see your badge for confirmation?" she said, and my expression turned a little awkward. "You see, the thing is, I have been robbed. They have taken everything, including my badge,"
"It is the reason why I wanted to take the job. So, I could earn so money and apply for the job." I said, and the man's expression turned serious.
"I am sorry, but the badge from the alchemy guild is a must for the interview," she said.
"I am really good. Just give a chance to prove myself," I said, and his expression hardened further. "Please leave or I will call security," he said.
Hearing that, I sighed and turned away.
Next two hours, and in eleven jobs, I heard the sa words again and again. They want an alchemy guild badge. Without it, they aren't willing to give a chance.
I can't bla them. It is a standard practice, but I really need a job.
I am not moving toward the twelve locations; it is on one of the less opulent areas of the district. It is a nice area, but not rich as I have been visiting, in the last two hours.
Seven minutes later, I stopped in front of the three-story house. It is a nice house, with a honey feel.
I walked down its stairs and rang the bell.
Click!
For a minute, there was no response, before a soul sense scanned over and a second later, the door opened.
It was opened by a beautiful woman, who looked to be in her mid-thirties. She had blue curved horns and thin blue wings like a butterfly; they made her look very beautiful.
She is a peak Primary but had a weak aura. From what I could tell, she is suffering from sothing nasty.
"Are you here for the alchemy job?" she asked. "Yes," I replied.
"What grade you?" she asked. "Grade 3," I replied. I had answered this question so many tis that it co smoothly from my mouth.
"Can you show your badge?" she asked. "I don't have it. I was robbed, they took everything, including my badge." I replied and her expression turned alert, while she gripped her doors a little more tightly.
"Why don't you get a new badge?" she asked. "I don't have money and since I am new to the city, I can't ask anyone for it," I answered.
"I am sorry. I can't be let in for an interview without a job," he said and moved to close the door.
"Please, give a chance. You can kick out. If you didn't like my skills," I said, and she opened her mouth to reject .
"Give him a chance, Mom; he seed nice," said the youthful voice from behind her.
