"This, this space ring, where did you get it from?" Fanny looked incredulously at Han Shuo and asked in astonishment.
"I bought it." Han Shuo responded faintly and then looked at the envious and jealous gazes of the necromancy students beside him. He added, "I bought it from a magical equipment store in the city for one thousand eight hundred gold coins. This space ring can store a small room's worth of items."
"Of course I know you bought it. I just want to ask how you got one thousand eight hundred gold coins?" The astonishment on Fanny's face remained the same as she glared hatefully at Han Shuo.
Apart from Fanny, the other necromancy students and teachers were all present in the storeroom. Their brains were all a bit short-circuited, and they couldn't understand how Han Shuo had suddenly become so rich.
"You, you didn't sell the spoils of war did you?" Bella stared blankly for a while and suddenly thought of something. She exclaimed softly and hurriedly flipped through the items they had stored in the storeroom.
Snorting coldly, Han Shuo flicked a disdainful glance at Bella and said mockingly, "Then you'd better look carefully and see if I've pocketed anything. Hmph, all thirteen bags are untouched. Do you have eyes or not? "
"Then where did your gold coins come from?" Gene also looked oddly at Han Shuo, his eyes roving greedily over the space ring on Han Shuo's left index finger. He thought to himself, I, a necromancy teacher, can't even afford a space ring, but you, an errand slave, are the first to wear one. What kind of world is this?
"Don't worry about that. I have a space ring now anyways. You guys check the items in the bags and I'll put them away. When we return to the Academy, I'll be responsible for selling them. We'll split the gold coins separately." Han Shuo smiled enigmatically and said faintly to Gene.
"Master Fanny, what do you mean?" Gene started and turned his head to look at Fanny, asking for Fanny's opinion.
"Hmm, let's leave it at that. We were able to obtain these items because of Brian. Since he said that he has a way to get rid of these things, let's do as he says. Brian will take 40% of the gold coins, and we'll split the rest equally. "Fanny pondered for a moment and suggested with a frown.
"Why? Why does he have to take 40%? We also put in the effort." Barker immediately voiced his disagreement after hearing Fanny's words.
"That's right, that's right. He's just an errand slave. He shouldn't be able to get so many gold coins." Bella, who had just finished checking the supplies, chimed in.
Scratching his head, Han Shuo wore a silly smile on his face. He swept his gaze over the two and chuckled, "Then what do you two think?"
Barker and Bella had suffered quite a bit at Han Shuo's hands along the way and had long since understood that Han Shuo's simple and honest exterior was all a facade. Barker and Bella had long since witnessed his treacherous and ruthless methods towards his enemies. Now that they saw Han Shuo's silly expression, they felt their scalps go numb. They stammered and didn't dare say anything else.
"Alright, alright, Brian, don't scare them. This matter is settled. If it wasn't for Brian, you wouldn't have been able to make it here alive. Not to mention that we were the ones who obtained these supplies. You all went to chase after the orc wolf riders and didn't do anything. You're the ones who have the least right to speak. "Fanny first rolled her eyes at Han Shuo, then put her hands on her hips and lectured Barker and Bella in a domineering manner.
"Since that's the case, I'll first store these items in the space ring and then we'll directly hire horses to head to Zajoski City. I've already asked around today. The orc wolf riders seem to have left after pillaging the nearby villages. I think we shouldn't run into any more danger. "Han Shuo swept his gaze over everyone and said lazily.
When Han Shuo saw that Fanny, Gene, and the others had all nodded in agreement, he released a wisp of mental strength and activated the space ring. As Han Shuo's two hands moved, the thirteen bags disappeared into thin air one by one. The blue space ring on his left hand flashed with blue light thirteen times.
Han Shuo stored the spoils of war into the space ring amidst the envy and jealousy of the necromancy teachers and students. He discovered that this low level space ring was already full after storing thirteen bags and couldn't hold much more.
The group then spent gold coins again to rent a few warhorses and left Balthazar City. It took them two days to return to Zajoski City.
Using the transportation matrix in Zajoski City, everyone returned to the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force in the Empire's Ossen City after a flash of white light. Looking at the familiar buildings around them, the necromancy teachers and students who had survived a great calamity felt a sense of joy at being reborn as human beings.
"Brian, you don't need to do errand missions for the necromancy major in the future. I'll go negotiate with the school authorities right now and remove your status as an errand slave and let you become a true necromancy apprentice. "Fanny said to Han Shuo after a moment of joy when she arrived.
Han Shuo was also overjoyed when he heard her promise and a faint smile appeared on his face. After experiencing the trials in the Dark Forest, Han Shuo's entire person had changed greatly. He deeply understood that his status as an errand slave would directly affect his future actions. Now that he could not only remove these two identities, but also become a true student, he was naturally overjoyed.
"Understood Master Fanny. I'll first dispose of the resources in the space ring and come find you after I've taken care of these matters." Han Shuo smiled at Fanny and then thought for a moment before taking out three gold coins from his pocket and handing them to Lisa. "If you see Jack, give these three gold coins to him."
Lisa looked oddly at Han Shuo and put away the three gold coins, saying, "Who would've thought that you'd treat that little fatty so well. I really don't know how you suddenly became so rich. Three gold coins is enough for Jack's family to live off for a year. You're quite generous."
Whether it was Brian before or Han Shuo now, they were all on good terms with that little fatty Jack. Now that Han Shuo had money, the first person he bestowed favors on was Jack. Three gold coins was nothing to Han Shuo now, but it was undoubtedly an enormous sum of money to Jack. It could be considered as repayment for Jack's help during this period of time.
After leaving the Academy, Han Shuo took out the card that Fabian had left behind and hired a carriage, heading south of Ossen City according to the address on the card.
"We've arrived at the Boozt Merchant Guild." The carriage finally came to a slow stop after traveling for a long time, and the coachman's voice sounded from outside.
Disembarking from the carriage, Han Shuo handed the coachman two silver coins and told him to leave. He then began to size up the Boozt Merchant Guild. Two warriors wielding long spears stood on either side of the dark iron door in front of the door. Looking from afar, rows of towering houses could be seen inside. One could tell from the grandeur that there were definitely rich people living inside.
"Kid, what are you sneaking around for?" A guard in front of the door chided impatiently when he saw Han Shuo looking around randomly.
"This is the Boozt Merchant Guild right? I'm here to find Mr. Fabian." Han Shuo started and swept his gaze over the two guards, responding faintly.
"Fabian? I've never heard of him. Is there such a person in our Merchant Guild? "The guard asked the other guard with a straight face.
"There seems to be. He seems to be working at the young miss' side. He just returned from the Dark Forest a few days ago, and I've heard that he gained quite a bit." The other guard responded. He paused and looked suspiciously at Han Shuo, sizing up Han Shuo from head to toe. A few traces of contempt involuntarily appeared in his eyes as he asked haughtily, "What business do you have with him?"
"I'm looking for him to do business with." Because his status as an errand slave hadn't been removed, and he'd been rushing non-stop back to the Academy, the errand slave uniform on Han Shuo's body was in tatters. It looked like he'd been looked down upon by others.
"Doing business? Haha, what a joke. Do you look like you're discussing business with someone like this? Our Boozt Merchant Guild is a famous merchant guild in the Empire. I think you've come to the wrong place? "The guard laughed heartily and spoke mockingly.
Just as Han Shuo was about to fly into a rage, a magnificent carriage suddenly stopped in front of the Merchant Guild. Two tall warriors dismounted and a young, beautiful girl walked out of the carriage.
This girl was tall and had a head of long brown hair. She wore a dress studded with jewels and looked elegant and luxurious. However, a faint trace of coldness was present on her beautiful face, and she had the natural arrogance of someone in a superior position.
"What's the matter?" The girl looked coldly at the two guards when she dismounted and spoke in a clear, pleasant voice.
"Miss, he says he wants to see Mr. Fabian. I've seen him looking around furtively and wearing cheap clothes. I've always felt that it was a bit suspicious, so I'm interrogating him now." One of the guards bowed respectfully and explained.
"You know Fabian?" The beautiful girl frowned as she looked at Han Shuo and asked coldly.
Han Shuo, who'd been boldly roving his eyes over the beautiful woman's body, finally reacted when he heard Fabian's question. He immediately nodded and said, "Yes, I even did business with Mister Fabian in the Dark Forest. I'm called Brian, I think Mister Fabian will surely remember me."
"Brian … Brian, I think I've heard Fabian mention you before. Since that's the case, why don't you come in with me? "She didn't look at Han Shuo again after she'd finished speaking and walked inside on her own.
Han Shuo glared at the two guards in front of the door and said lowly, "Blind dogs!" He then laughed lightly and quickly walked inside.
