Pov Nira:
During the morning I get up next to Irina, it took a while to get her to let go of without waking her up, so I put so clothes on before going to the bathroom and then going down to the dining room that Yomi already warned was full of food.
-----------
When I ca out of the bathroom I noticed that my clothes weren't suitable for the mission, so I went into the master's room and asked Nix to take to the mansion through the Spirits' portal in the master's shadow.
As soon as I got to my room and went straight back to the dining room I already knew where it was, I found Lilian finishing her al with Elsaris and Ivan.
I greet everyone before sitting down.
"Are you ready for today, Ivan?" (I)
"Of course, I don't need to do anything and just let Vice take care of everything." (Ivan)
"I wish you would take your responsibilities more seriously." (I)
"I take it very seriously, but I'll admit you're better at negotiation than I am, anwhile I'm better at managent." (Ivan)
"He's right, that's why the Holy Son always calls you when it cos to any kind of trade." (Lilian)
"You've always been my best salesperson, so don't complain and get the job done." (Elsaris)
While we're talking one of the employees gives a glass of fresh juice, I drink and grab sothing to eat starting another topic of conversation.
Yesterday after the master went to bed, I had ti to talk to Lilian, thanks to that I have a more detailed notion of the comrcial culture of this place, the master may not have thought of ours before, but we can find many things of value in this city that I can try to acquire.
But the more valuable and rare things would be hard to find, maybe I can take advantage of this auction to attract more valuable things that we can buy.
I told Lilian and Elsaris my idea, and they both agreed it was a good idea, I talked to Ivan that he would be in charge of the auction, as he was once a Nobleman, and he will know how to deal with East Timorese detained by nobles even better than I do, especially if soone from the royal family interferes, considering how heavily influenced they are by trade, that's not impossible.
After talking a little more, he leaves early in the morning with Ivan riding Demon Horses, they are rare on this continent, but at least they exist here, unlike the Shadow Horses.
-----------
On the way to the Trade Guild that Lilian gave directions to get there, I talk a little with Ivan, but always paying attention to the surroundings, in my case it's easier since Yomi is flying above paying attention to the surroundings.
"I find this Kingdom very strange." (Ivan)
"Which part? The criminal governnts or the rchant King?" (I)
"To be honest, everything bothers ." (Ivan)
"A ruler who pays attention to only one aspect of the nation is leaving sothing aside that will bring harm at so point." (Ivan)
"Clearly you can see that public safety has been sidelined, so he tolerates the criminal governnt." (I)
"He's using this criminal governnt to control cri across the Kingdom without having to invest in any of it." (I)
"But a silly idea, he's letting a criminal elent gain influence in the Kingdom and get away with cris that go against his own laws." (Ivan)
"This proves that this royal family is more rchants than rulers." (I)
"A rchant is used to making concessions to get a deal that brings benefits, sothing a King shouldn't do." (I)
While we were talking, we were wearing items that blocked our voices from others, so we could say whatever we wanted.
Soon we arrived at the Guild of Comrce which is by far the largest we have ever found, the building has more than 6 floors and occupies a space of 1 whole block, when we enter we see that it has been finely decorated.
We started to walk around the place and it has all kinds of shops, in addition in the middle of the building, there is an open area with a small rest square and no roof to be able to see the sky.
I've never seen anything like it before, this Comrce Guild is amazing, maybe Leonardo might want to check it out later.
I show my Guild card at the front desk along with Ivan, then request a eting with a responsible business while handing over a letter of introduction for the business in question.
A business manager is a high level employee within the Trading Guild, any big money flow business with the Guild must go through one of them, the Guild Master only takes care of things that affect the economy of the entire city or special cases.
Ivan and I continued walking around the stores to get to know the Guild's public movent better while we waited for an answer that ca faster than expected.
While we were talking in front of a magic item shop, a Guild employee cos up to us saying that the business manager will et us for a eting.
We follow him to the top floor of the Guild where we are taken to an office where the walls are decorated with landscape paintings.
"Welco, my na is Bryan, I'm one of the 3 business leaders of the Vartry Affiliate Trade Guild." (Bryan)
"Nice to et you, my na is Nira, the one next to is my mate Ivan." (I)
"Nice to et you." (Ivan)
We exchanged a few greetings before taking a seat in front of his desk.
"Your business plan caught my attention, do you want to open 6 different stores within the Guild?" (Bryan)
"Yes, I would like to see if you have that many stores available or any stores willing to lend their space for a little over a week?" (I)
"We have 3 stores available, one of which is already in the process of being leased to a local rchant, to get what they are asking for we would have to find rchants willing to give up their spaces for that period of ti." (Bryan)
"We are willing to negotiate values, we are just passing through and we have a variety of people in the creative business wanting to set up temporary stores." (I)
"If the products are of good quality, the Trading Guild would be willing to buy all your rchandise, of course with a price still to be discussed." (Bryan)
"Usually we do this, but these 6 people will be having a competition of who can raise the most money in that period of ti." (I)
"Interesting, a comrcial competition between mbers of the sa company." (Bryan)
